Ovation to Hon. VIM. L. Wilson.
EXTRACTS FROM HIS sPEECH.

On his return from England to his
home at Charles Town, Jefferson
county. w. Va, on Monday of last
week, Hon. VIM L. Wilson received an
ovation from his personal and political
friends, and, on that occasion, made an
able speech from which we publish the
following extracts =
THE ISSUE IN AMERICAN POLITICS.
The issue in American politics is
Joined between those who desire to
hold on to whatever tariff reform we
have achieved and continue the strug
gle for its complete and perfect attain
ments, and those who wish to do away
withall we have gained and to return to
thepolicies that have hithertoprevailed
in this country. | do not believe
could speak to any audience having
greater interest in this question than
to an audience of the farmers and
working people and to the citizens
generally of the county of Jefferson

but to deprive man of the opportu
nifty of toiliug whereby he may secure

berry; and SO far as you, fellow citizeus.
are concerned, this question, the tariff,
has become not 50 much a question of
taxation, because you could stand up
under taxation, as question of
markets, wherein yen are to sell that
which YOU produce whether upon your
farms or in your factories. We have
reached that stage in the development
of our country when we are compelled
to have larger and larger markets for
our Surplus products, and such markets
through foreign trade are the only
safety valves for the health and the
prosperity OF the American laborer in
the field and in the factory. Fellow
citizens, | do not believe thai there has
been in this country, doubt if there
has been in any self-governing country,
such an uprising of the people as we
have seen during the struggle of the
last ten years against our present sys-
TEN of federal taxation. 1t has been a
wonderful, it has been an inspiring
popular revolution, with it's persis tent
effort, with its undimmed courage in
defeat as well as in victory, with its
enthusiasm, with its patriotic ardor,
and L might almost say heroism. 1t
has been most notable public revOlu-
ton and for one do not believe it is to
cease until the results secured have
fully measured up to the order and the
enthusiasm of the people. Loud APP
plause.
On the one side lie good government,
honest. economical government, freed
industry, large and expanding markets
for the products of American labor and
q general reckoning to an era of ma
tional and individual prosperity. On
the other side lie corrupt government,
fettered and imprisoned industry, limi-
tations by law on the markets in which
we are to sell and limitations by law on
the amount which we can profitably
produce. These are the two systems
now at issue before the American
people.

No REASON FOR LACKING IN DUTY.
The Fredericksburg Star says there is
certainly no good reason why single
Democrat should be lacking in duty
We are just beginning to experience a
forestate of the benefits to be derived
from Democratic principles. We have
put our hands to the pillow and it would
be folly in the superlative degree to
look back before the work ahead of us
is finished. There has not been time
in many years when the inspiration for
every Democrat to put his whole soul
into the work of party organization
and getting out full vote on election
day, was as great as it is in this con-
test, for the reason that there has not
been an hour since the war when we
were so near the full fruition of Demo
cratic hopes. The Democrat who gets
in sight of the promised land and then,
instead of pressing onward and upward,
turns back to 1.-The flesh pots of Egypt
is poor specimen of Democrat.

IRON TRADE IMPROVEMENT.

The Cleveland "Iron Trade Review"
sees Better Prospects and n Stronger
Market.
CLEVELAND. O., March 29.-The Iron
Trade ReUicl0 this week says; Pittsburg
aud Chicago seem to have furnished
most OF the moderate activity the iron
market has shown the past week, while
in the one item OF pig iron Cincinnati
has perhaps gone above her average
record of the last few months. As II a
monopoly OF the finished material trade
OF the East were not sufficient, Pitts
burg producers of pig iron have found
that Sl5O rate to Philadelphia and
Sl.3O to Harrisburg has opened the door
to wider markets on that commodity
and eastern furnaces are feeling their
competition to some extent. The general
report east and west as % finished
material is that large orders are scarcer,
but that the demand for small lots is
we'll maintained and the outlook in
building lines is generally encouraging.
At Chicago structural work is Of in
creasinE volume. and good business is
promised In plates. There are evidences
that consumption OF Bessemer pig iron
is quite keeping with the increased pro-
duction. 1t is certain that Lake Superior
Bessemer ores form a larger percentage
OF furnace burdens to-day than at any
time. The foundry interest continues
depressed, and less than half the melt
ing capacity of the country is active to-
day. There is a belief, however, that
foundry work is increasing, even though
yery gradually.
