To the Editor of the InteHigelesr
SRA truer adage was never utte ''st
than that factions speak louder tnah
words" Prior to the passage OF the
Mckinley bill. when it was under ois,
cussion in Congress, every lack-leegeu

swarminc with the same knights OF me

orders until the Wilson bill becomes, q
law. To be good rule they snouiu
now be singing that song;
There are many wealthy Democrats
of unouestionably fine business Sehse
who have proclaimed as 1t were from
the house tops that free trade, or Demo
cratic tariff reform, would insure an era
OF unprecedented prosperity, put NE
have vet to see or hear OF ono IN our
heretofore hourishing town investing
SINGLE dollar in lots or erecting business
hrieks in which to meet the unparalleled
trade. Notwithstanding building ma
terials and labor are much cheaper than
at any time since 1860. Our Demo-
cratic farmers, who telt keenly the loss
on wool. are not buying larger tiocks TO
sell their clippings on the promised al
vance made by your Wheeling eiShoor'
which refers them to the glorious ant e

other live stock to retrieve past losses )
on the contrary they arc energeticaiiy

of what they have on hand.
A good farm consisting OF over one
hundred acres of land in fair state OF
cultivation was recently bought at pup
lie auction for $40 per acre, Tor when
its owner in 1892 refused So per acre.
Three good strong yearling colts (com-
ing two) in fine flesh sold at public sale In
November on the streets OF Weston alter
being cried for a long time by the auc-
tioneer at $50. SIG 673 apiece. Fair sized
well developed weanling colts were SOLO
on the streets of Clarksburg at public
sale at from IS to $40 each. These coils
belonged to q man OF means who tore
saw a gloomy future. Medium colts OF
the same age have been sold at public
auction at 81 so. Advocates ot-the W IL
son bill, who had the means 10 puy,
witnessed these sales and they did not
rush over each other to secure bargains.
Ii the wealthy members OF the Demo-
cratic party are in earnest and con-
scientiously believe their own declara-
tions, why is it, that they are all hedg-
ing? Some will say that they have not
passed any laws, and that those under
which we live are Republican. This
above all, others is the strongest evil
dence of Democratic incompetency.
The laws which made 1892 the most
under Republican management made
in 1888 under Democratic threats OF re-
peal the most disastrous in fifty years.
Our Democratic farmers are beginning
to realize and openly express it that
their vote for Cleveland was the most
costly experiment of their lives, and
their future actions will speak louder
than words. NJ. S. Holt.
