The Republican meeting last Satur-
day night was large and enthusiastic,
the Opera House being filled to its
utmost capacity An analysis of Mr..
Elkins' speech on the first page of this
issue should be read by all.
West Virginia as always been ready
and willing to pay her share of the
old debt of Virginia provided we owe
anything, but at the. same time we
have always claimed that fairly and
honestly we do not owe her cent
Republicans are dead opposed to the
payment of the West Virginia Certif-
Gates.
Referring to the circular distributed
by the Free Traders at the Opera
House Tuesday, business man re-
marked that the reason many mer-
chants are offering to sell goods at re-
duced rates. is that business is SO dull
and sales SO slow they are willing to
almost give goods away in order to
meet their obligations.
"We-do not owe Virginia anything
but we do owe the private gentlemen
who hold those certificates and are in
honor bound to pay them" The
above is the language used of Mr.. Nc
Donald to gent enan of this county
in reply to an inquiry if he favored
the payment of those West Virginia
Cert ficates.
/ Mr.. Wilson said in his speech Tues
day night-"What we are looking
for is not work for the laborer, but
the largest productions from work"
In other words, Americans must get
down to the level of the of the Coolie
and Dago, work for a pittance and
live on Democratic promi es.
SHAME!
When Berkeley Democrats have to
go to down east Yankee banker to
learn about farming and then are told
that there is more joy over one mig
ger that shook hands with their idol
than over the ninety and nine Bour-
bons who went not astray, it looks to
an observer as if the white mans
party" is in hard row for stumps.
The Shepherdstown Register says
there was nothing in Dayton speech.
Here, last Tuesday, America" was
the only music heard. They had the
band play it twice and the choir to
sing it. Dixie" was back number
Of course Dayton's speech was not
the cause of the change which came
over their dreams. 1t was a fine piece
of masquerading. Sheepskins were
at premium. Bah
1t is stunning fact, not generally
understood, nevertheless true as Cos
pei that there has been no reduction
in the tariff on wooden goods. That
portion of the recently enacted law
does not take effect until the Ist of
January, next. The anomaly is pre-
sented of manufacturers being protec-
ted by the Mckinley tariff, while wool
is free. That isa sample of Democrat
ic law for the farmers.
In another column is an interview
with Mr.. E. Z. Kilbourn, president of
the Kilbourn Company. 1t gives the
facts in relation to the hosiery indus
try not only in this city but in the
country at large. We also wish to add
that these facts have been just as open
and free to Democrats as to Republi-
cans, but have not been sought for by
them The truth is that they do not
want facts, but on the contrary hope
to deceive the people by misrepresen-
tation Free Trade can thrive on moth
ing else.
In his speech Tuesday afternoon,
Mr.. w. {. Wilson, speaking of and
, to farmers Though there were very
few farmers in his audience) said:
THE farmer must sell his products
in free competition with other coun
tries.
prices are made in free competition
in the free trade markets"
You sell in the free trade markets
of the world and buy in the protected
| markets Of this country"
Never was more deinagogy compress
