When the Davises vote against
Mr.. Wilson, it is time for every poor
man to vote for him.
THEIR ARGUMENT TURNED BACK.
Our Republican friends are con
stantly telling the working people
that it is the rich who want lower
tariff and that the poor people want
protection. Yes, there are the poor
Davises, of the West Virginia Cen
trail railroad, who want to get rich
by having the coal protected. The
flop of the monopolists of this dis
trict will drive hundreds of plain
people to the Democratic ranks.
THEIR NEW KIND OF SLAVERY
In old times, when old master
broke up, the negroes all had to be
sold and there was great grief This
is the racket Elkins, Davis d Co are
trying to work on the coal miners.
They declare that they are ruined by
cheap Democratic coal. and that con
sequently the miners will have to be
sold out. And yet coal at the mines
is bringing the same price it did I'M
der the Mckinley law.
REPUBLICAN RULE EPIToMIzED.
For quarter of century or more
the country has been groaning under
the burdens of class legislation, en-
acted by the Republican party, by
which the vast wealth Of the country
has been concentrated into the peck
cts OF the favored few whilst the
great masses have been growing
poorer and poorer. So outrageous
had this system of legalized robbery
become that about $4,000 people
owned over one half the wealth of
the entire country. This state of af
fairs was brought about by that per
nicious system of taxation known as
protective tariff. BY this system
the Government practically forces
sixty five millions of our people to
yield one half their hard earnings to
the favored $4,000 absolutely as p
gift
THE FARMERS CAN ANSWER
From 1861 to 1894 the Republicans
made tariff rates according to their
own liking and in accordance with
their own pet "home market" theory.
After full and fair experiment of
thirty three years, did high protec-
tive tariff distribute the wealth of
the country with any degree of even
ness? Did agriculture flourish, and
has the farmer secured home mar
ket at remunerative prices for all the
products of the farm2
THEY DIDN'T DENoUNCE GRANT.
Since the Democrats have resurrec-
ted that forgotten speech made by
General Grant at London banquet,
on his journey around the world, in
which he expressed the hope that in
the near future there would be free
trade between this country and Eng
land, they have not SO much to say
about that terrible bad break of W.
n. Wilson's" In fact, Wilson s
speech is good Democratic cam
paign document.

NEW YORK ALL RIGHT.
Senator Faulkner Goes Ahead after Be-
ing Sure He is Right.

Senator Faulkner has returned to
Washington from New York and in
an interview he said:
1--WE will elect a majority of the
New York delegation in spite of all
our opponents can do to prevent
There are several districts in New
York where the Republicans have
failed to comply with the election
laws and they will not be recognized
upon the official ballots. l do not
care to mention the districts, but
they will be known soon enough in
New York"
Speaking of the congressional fight
throughout the State the Senator
said 1--WE hope to carry several
districts that have heretofore been
Republican, which will more than
offset any possible losses in New
York city.
"Information received from men par
ticipating in the campaign through
out the State" be said, lis that the
Democrats are working with more
vigor and harmony than ever before
There is every reason to believe that
the Republican majority above the
bridge will ne materially reduced.
Senator Hill is now satisfied that he
has good chance to win and is max
ing a magnificent campaign. The
enthusiasm he creates wherever he
appears is simply marvellous"

Selling American Lumber in Canada.

Selling American Hummer III Ihhsuh.
DETROIT, Mich, Oct. l5.-The
item in last weeks Timberman rela-
tive to the sale by Bay City firm,
Potts d Co, of 100000 feet of lum-
Der to firm at Windsor, Ontario,
has naturally attracted considerable
comment, on account Of the unusual
character of the deal The firm who
made the purchase was that of Pig
gott d. Sons, of Windsor. Mr. Pig
gott was interviewed about the trans
action and made the following state
ment:
II purchased from that firm the
amount of lumber stated, and am
more than satisfied with the deal.
Heretofore | have got all my lumber
from the Canadian mills on the
Georgian bay, but as the duty has
been taken off | thought | could do
better in Michigan, and I find that
! can. The reason for this is that
at the last session of the Canadian
parliament the 20 per cent. duty on
lumber was removed on condition
that the American tariff was taken
off This has been done, and we now
have free trade in lumber In my
opinion this will be a splendid thing
for both countries, as we dealers can
now buy either logs or lumber in the
cheapest market and sell in the dear

IL seems that this man Hollis rep
utation precedes him as he goes
around among the school houses of
this county. Holt is careful not to
make speeches in his own county of
Taylor. They know him. From all
accounts they know him at Blacks
vile also. He went up there to
speak, but bespoke to very few. The
meeting lacked both in enthusiasm
and numbers. The good people of
Clay want speakers of another stripe
from Holt. They don't want man
to come to them and tell them about
prices they are better informed
about than he is. The amount of
truth in the average Republican
speech this year~-the ones delivered
in this county--is so small as to not
be perceptible.

Sugar is Five Cents Pound, Only

Sugar is Five Cents Pound, Only,
Sugar at Wholesale is lower than
it was ever known to be in Mckinley
times. There is not merchant in
town who pays more than $465 for
graduated, and the fluctuating pri-
ces known through the troublous
months of McKinleyism never reach
ed that lowfgure.
The retail price, however, is no
lower than it was during that period
"a repetition of which need not be
feared. 1t sells at cents now, and
20 pounds for dollar could he OBJ
tanned during the days Immediately
preceding the Wilson law, which is
long stride toward the salvation of
the country 90 pounds for a dollar
can now be obtained in Morgantown.
No fears need be entertained that it
will be higher.
Sugar is five cents pound, only
This sugar CONTROVERSY, however,
was a campaign affair purely. When
Renegade Holt made his speech here
he asked the Republican crowd what
the price of sugar was here. "Seven
cents,'' was yelled in concert. That
was concert of Misrepresentation
and falsehood. Sugar is not cents
pound. But Holt said it was, and
that is sample of the kind of cam
paigning that the Republicans are
engaged in.
Sugar is cents pound, only
No longer ago than last Saturday
Morgantown Republican said to a
voter he was trying to influence
Look how Democrats have raised
the price of sugar. 1t was 5 cents a
pound when we were in power.
will take all the sugar in this town
that can be bought for that price"
He was referred to the nearest mer-
chant. He didn't take sugar; he
took water.
Sugar is cents a pound onlyl
Don't be deceived by this claptrap
lie they tell you about the price of
sugar. Go into any grocery store
and ask what the wholesale price of
sugar is. Look at the jobbers' quo
tations. They are more eloquent in
the facts in the case than all the Re.
publican speeches ever spoken. The
idea that people would believe that
7 cents a pound lie has all along
been regarded as so foolish as to not
need denial. But some dealers in
the local combine are keeping alive
this fallacy and so we say: Sugar
is five cents pound, only

w. V. L. Played Hard, But 80 to 0 Is
the Tale Of Wee.

The University FOOT bail team is
good one-the best we ever had, but
it does not make any pretense to pro
fess.onal ball playing, and, OF course,
when any athletic association plays
out of its class it usually goes down.
That is what our boys did at Con
nellsville on Saturday. They had
an engagement to play against the
Connellsyille team, hut when the
line up was made it was found that
not man from Connellsville was
among the team. Instead there were
eleven old experienced PLAYERS who
had filled positions Ga half dozen
big colleges and they were monsters
in size This was the aggregation
our boys confronted.
The game was played on the Con
nellsviile athletic grounds before
about four hundred people and IL
would take pages to describe it min
utely. In short it was a good game
and if our boys had not put up the
nappy game they did the score would
have looked like the w. q j. score
last year
w. V. T. had a patched up team
to begin with and team patched up
when it ended. South will not play
again this year and cambridge was
substituted. Beal was hurt ia prac-
tice on Friday and Kelley played
his position Both Of the regular
players were missed, notwithstand
ing the substitutes played a fairly
good game The first half was very
exciting and Connellsville scored but
one touch down w. V. u. came
dangerously near scoring and the
rooters made the day hideous with
theiryells. Tue second half, however,
lacked excitement, as the w V. u.
played on the defensive and did what
they conld to keep the Conuellsville
score down. The heavy fellows did
not experience much difficulty in
getting through w. V. US line or
in getting around the right end,
which seemed To ne the weak place,
The best Interference was done by
the police who came in at regular in
tervals to stop The sluggipg which
was terrific during the game Fists
were moving around in the air like
bees on q spring day and a consider
able portion Of the time was spent IN
clearing from The field the crowd
which pressed in To take hand in
the fray. During the latter half Leps
was knocked insensiHle while max
ing tackle and Bru'er was put in
to play out the game aad Keelef n
so was hurt and Boob was substi-
tuted
Notwithstanding the defeat our
boys enjoyed the trip exceedingly.
About sixty students in a special
car prettilv decorated accompanied
the boys 70 yell aud il they had had
an opportunity the Connellseille
population would have known the
W. Y. U. yell by heart The reports
that the boys disgraced the institu-
ton is lie out of whole cloth
There was no disorder Of any kind
in the town from them. They went
for good time and made lots Of
noise, but that is characteristic o.

What Grant and other Republican
Idols Said.

What Grant and other Republican
Idols Said.
A Pittsburg paper recalls General
Grants free trade speech in Eng
land. Conkling's hero looked and
hoped for the United States to be-
come great free trade nation and
so told his British friends. Other
Republican WORTHLESS can be placed
with Grant.
In 1888 Senator Plumb said OF
the tariff act, which Mckinley af-
terward revised UPWARD: THE peo-
pie are watching this proceeding,
and they want no higher taxes, but
lower taxes"
In 1888 the Chicago Tribune said:
THUS with American wool very
low in price the mills are idle and
workmen out Of employment because
the high tariff bars out the foreign
woods needed in mixing In other
words. the tariff has been burden
some hardship to every American
concerned in the wool industry as a
sheep grower, manufacturer or q
buyer of wooden goods"
The Tariff Commission of 1892,
nearly all the members of which
were protectionists, reported that in
mechanical and manufacturing in
dustries, especially those which have
been long established, it would seem
that the improvement in machinery
and processes made within the past
twenty years and the high scale of
productiveness, which has become
characteristic of their establish
ments, would permit our manufac-
turers to compete with their foreign
rivals under substantial reduction
of existing duties"
Fifty years ago Henry Clay wrote;
'In the origin of the protective
policy it was never supposed by me,
or by others of it's friends, as far as
| know their views, that it was to be
permanent We intended it to be
temporary, so as to enable American
manufacturers to get through in
fancy"
In 1857 Henry Wilson, elected
with Grant in 1878, said in debate
that the duties of the tariff of 1876
called the fr~e trade tariff-ought tC
be very much reduced. eff our man
ufactures are to increase said he
eve must have our raw materials
admitted duty free or alta mere nom
imal rate. We of New England be
lieve that wool, especially the CHEAP
woods, MANILA, hemp, flax, lead, tin
brass, hides and many other article:
used in our manufactures can bt
admitted free or at mere nomina
duty"
Nothing in the history of Ameri
can politics prior to 1884 justifies oil
explains Mckinley. To explain hin
we must go back to the Dark Ages
of Europe or across to the eowardly
economic ignorance of China. Those
Republicans who are the dnpes o
his platform are throwing mud OF
the memories of Grant and Sumner
when they throw mud at VIM, L
Wilson. Let them look again a
what Grant said in Birmingham
England, in 1877 Il think we ar,

For County sup't of Free Schools,

1t may have been an error of judg-
ment which prompts EIkins, Dayton,
Holt and others to say that business

ment, but most of us agree that it is

And now work has begun on the
foundation of tin plate mill at
Pittsburg that Is to cost 100000.
The Wilson bill will allow the i'm
portation Of raw material, to convert
which into practical form and shape
for use will give employment to
thousands of workmen. That is to
say, the Wilson idea carried out
causes many new industries to spring
up in this country. The building of
this tin mandatory bears out sim
ply what Mr.. Wilson said would be
the effect of his measure. The Re
publican Pittsburg Times told about
this Pittsburg mill under big heads.
