Affer ELECTION raefs.


The bugbear of Canadian coape-
tition in coal, in case of free coal, de-
stroying American mining industries
the Pittsburg Times exposes in some
figures it gives Of it's coal trade Of
the Dominion. It shows that the
United States exported to Canada in
1893 total of 3,175,0 900 tons of coal,
about equally divided between an
thracite and bituminous. This is
more than the amount of Canadian
coal consumed in the whole of Can
ada, taking In both Che British Col.
umbia and Nova Scotia product. OF
Nova Scotia coal Canada exported
only 10000 tons, and from British
Columbia and the other provinces
$4,000 tons. or total of $4,000.
And yet we are asked to guard our
selves by wall of protection against
Canadian competition. This leads
the Pittsburg Post to remark:
1t was this monstrous humbug
more than anything else, aside from
money, that defeated VIM. L. Wilson
for Congress. We meet Canada on
her own ground, with duty against
our coal of 60 cents ton, and take
her coal trade away from her own
operators at their own doors. In the
West Indies, Mexico and South
America we sell nearly million tons
of coal year, meeting successfully
the competition Of the world. We
send American coal even TO Europe.
And yet our miners we're instructed
that the new tariff law, even with it's
needless 40 cents a ton duty, would
cut their wages and annihilate the
American coal trade. What is want
ed in their interest is free coal, with
larger markets. In the late cam.
paign the "Times" centered its ener-
gies on Wilson's district, and the fg.
ures it quotes forces it to virtually
recant its fabrications. The lie
travels leagues while truth is getting
on it's boots, but in time truth gets
there.
The Times says if we should put
coal on the free list it is difficult to
see how we could extend our Cana
dian market, The presumption is
that Canada would also repeal its
duty, and thus let American blum
nous in without the 60 cents a ton
tax now imposed. The Canadians
say they would be glad to do that.
The reduced price of American coal,
amounting to 60 cents a ton, would
largely increase consumption. The
first year sugar was put on the free
list, falling in price as consequence,
our consumption was increased 20
per cent. 1t is a law of trade that
knows no exceptions that cheapness
increases the consumption of any ar
ticle. The first year under the new
tariff the American people will prob
ably increase their consumption of
wooden goods one third more than
their purchases the last year of the
tariff. The reason will be
their cheapness and better quality

CAUsTIc COMMENT
From clay-some other Local denton.

n
HAGANs, w. Va, Dec. 10-We have
sufficiently recovered from the shock &C.
casioued by Davton's immense majority
in Pennsylvania to attempt to reply to
some double distilled nonsense that APP
peared in last weeks Post
1t now appears that the rad who said
Dayton had car ried Pennsylvania" has
modified his statement to the effect that
be did carry Pennsylvania but the wick
ed rebels are going to cheat him out of
Il. Rumor saws that this was not the
only break made by the intelligent re-
publicans. AS another member of that
party bet one pound Of candy that Nc
Kinley would be elected governor of
New York.
As to the sneers concerning shoes one
would naturally suppose that person
who bad been indicted for perjury and
spiriting wheat away during the night
would not have the cheek to mention the
so-ealled faults Of another.
There has been quite revival in bus
mess circles since Dayton's election.
A prominent republican Of this vicini-
ty attended the thuse at Fairmont and
invested nickel in a tin horn, and pro-
eeeded to get on the outside of so much
booze that he had to be torn loose
from the gate post to get him home.
Il is feared that the democratic vote
of this vicinity will be greatly reduced
owing to an increase in the price of po-
tatoes since the enactment Of the Will
son bill.
A certain fruit tree agent that tried
to trade trees for votes is so elated over
the result OF the election that he con-
templates the erection of a gigantic
wooden factory for the sole purpose of
manufacturing his own immense product
OF wool. Success to him.

teacher will soon be able to remove his
own shoes without any outside assist

As to NISSue.r

Politics will not be an issue in the
coming municipal contest II is i'm
possible from but one glitterinp
standpoint. The people wont have
1t. A few Republicans go and NOM
mate what they are pleased to term
a straight Republican ticket. Then
the great majority of Republicans
say that drawing political lines in a
town election avails nothing. The
idea is in itself a glazing prejudicial
weakness. This sort of ticket has
been nominated, but it was not by
general consent or participation of
Republicans. If this ticket were
now spoken of as a Republican tick
ct by Republicans generally the
claim that the issue is to be as be-
tween the national political parties
would be worthy of consideration
But 1T is not. One party nominating
ticket and the other refusing to
do so would be failure as to "is-
sue' political, but a great number of
even one party did not do this, which
makes the claim even more fallacious
An issue to be raised here must be
question affecting local interests.
purely and only. Otherwise it is not
an issue. The ticket a few Repub.
licaDs nominated had no reference.

Gains and Losses,

That the Democratic stay at homes
and the gathering in of the non parti-
san vote had much to do with the re-
cent victories of the Republicans, be-
comes palmer now that the final fig.
ures are in.
In New York there was a gain for
Morton of LAO but there was a loss
for Hill of 123,446.
In Pennsylvania there was gain
of 56,157 for the Republicans over
the Harrison figures, but there was
a Democratic loss of 1918
In Minnesota the Republicans
gained 22,6S8, but the Democrats
lost 4e,7S1.
In Wisconsin the Republicans
gained 1897, and the Democrats
lost 45,065.
In Iowa the Republicans lost Z, $50,
but the Democratic loss was 62,952.
The reading is PLAIN enough.

More Hard Imck

In many respects the Democrats
have latterly been playing in hard
luck, and in at least one particular
that sort Of luck promises to con
tinue.
The report of Mr.. Miller, the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue, shows
that in anticipation of the increase
of the whiskey tax from 80 cents to
$LlO, immense quantities were taken
out of bond at the old rate, and as a
consequence there are now over 49,
100000 gallons of the stuff in the
open market This will probably
supply all demands for some time to
come, so that, even in the report for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1895,
there may be no showing of increas-
ed revenue from the increased tax.
After that, however, the increased
tax will begin to show itself in sub
stantially increased revenues, so that
while the Democrats inherited an in
come decreased by Republican legis-
lation, the Republicans will inherit
an income increased by Democratic
legislation.
This is hard luck, though it may
be a sort of satisfaction to reflect
that the Devil always looks after his
own.

The Centennial of Morgantown.

Nearly ten years ago the one hun
dreth anniversary of Morgantown
was celebrated with an elaborate
program and much enthusiasm.
The exercises of that occasion
were thought worthy of being per
petuated 10 a permanent form, be-
cause of the pleasant and patriotic
spirit which pervaded them, and of
the many scraps Of local his
tory which we're brought to light,
making a new chapter in the towns
history which all would be interested
in preserving.
In pursuance of this purpose a
committee was appointed to gather
all the addresses delivered on the
occasion and edit and publish vol
ume that would be a complete history
Of all that was said and done A
sum of money was subscribed for
that purpose, and the committee
went so far as to procure material
sufficient to make about one hun
dred pages Of printed matter, and
that was accordingly printed
At this point, however, the money
was exhausted, and the work stopped.
Three hundred or more copiee of this
incomplete volume, are in the hands
of the printer, stored away awaiting
further orders.
We submit that it ought not to
be lost-that it IS too valuable to be
thrown aside as waste paper, and
that there are enough people who
would like to have this volume and
pay fair price for it, to pay the
cost of completing it.
We understand that it could be
bound in cloth and sold at one dol
lar volume if there are enough sub
scribers to take the entire edition.
We think there would be demand
for every volume. A large number
would be ordered from abroad by
old residents. 1t would only be
necessary to advertise the volume
to make sale of it.
Therefore we think the committee
who had it in eharge-of which we
think Mr.. Moreland is chairman
ought to go ahead and complete the
work, have it bound as demanded,
and offer it for sale-or otherwise
receive subscriptions in advance to
be assured of demand for it.
In the meantime a public express
sion in regard to the matter would
help toward some conclusion, and
the New DOMINION is open to all who
have anything to say.
