Protection has acted as a con
stantly cumulative blight on every
section of the country and drag on
all its legitimate industries. Profess
sing to benefit labor, 1t has made
strikes the chief industrial phenom-
ena of the last twenty years. Pre-
tending to make wages higher, it has
made them lowest in the industries
most heavily protected and highest
in the occupations that are not pro-
tected at all. Claiming to promote
business prosperity, it has constant
ly increased the yearly crop of bank
ruptcies. Assuming to strengthen
home enterprises, it has turned the
railroads of the country very largely
into the hands of receivers and clos
ed the factories for lack of markets
in which to sell their products. Guar
anteeing American wages to Ameri-
can workingmen in American mines,
it has filled these very mines with
the cheapest and most dangerous
class of imported laborers, and has
cursed the country with long SER
les of riots like that which Pittsburg
has just witnessed "The rioters
so ran last Sundays dispatch-s'con
sisted of Slavs, Huns, Italians, Poles,
Belgians and French" And this is
the picture of American labor, shell
tered from 1.-THE pauper labor of Eu-
rope" for which every factory, work
shop and home has been blackmailed
by the Mckinley tariff taxes on raw
materials y

S. S. r. Commission.
Judge Cox Denied the Application

Judge Cox, of the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, rendered
his decision denying the application
Of General Master Workman Sover-
eign and General Secretary Mcclure,
representing the Knights of Labor,
for an injunction to restrain the Sec
rotary of the Treasury from issuing
$50,000,000 gold bonds.
The first question, the Judge said,
that suggested itself, was what stand
ing had these complainants in court?
1t vas well known principle of law
that in cases of this character the
compliments must show that the al
legged illegal act would, if carried in
to execution, lnjuriously affect their
property rights. He did not think
that this had been shown. The allie.
cation was made in the bill that the
Knights of Labor had mem bership
Of over 100000 and that the issue of
the bonds would incur public in
debtedness of about $65,000,000,
which would be at the rate of 81 for
every person in the country. OF this
sum the Knights of Labor member
ship would be taxed 100000. This,
the Judge said, could only happen in
case of a per capita or poll tax, and
there is now in force no law of that
character or any other levying di-
rect tax for the payment of public
Indebtedness. Neither had there
been since 1861. The complainants
had not shown that they would be
taxed to pay bonds on maturity and,
therefore, as tax payers they had no
proper standing in court.

why HOODS Wins.

President Lincoln said, 'FYou can
not fool the people second time.''
They are too quick to recognize real
merit or lack of it, and cling only to
those things which they find to be
what is claimed for them,
1t is especially gratifying that the
sale of Hoods Sarsaparilla increases
most rapidly in those sections where
it is best known.
The inference is plain. Hoods Sar-
saparilla has proven that 1t possesses
genuine merit. 1t maintains high
standard, which others cannot even
approach. 1t is the peoples favorite
blood-purifying and building up med
iclne, and Is more popular this year

Misleading Statements.

1t is amazing that republican lead
ers and editors, who are supposed, at
least, to be men of sense, should per.
sist in their efforts to impose on the
public by reiterating the threadbare
charge that the business depression
is due to tariff changes. 1t is mat
ter Of history that the monetary diff
ficulties, through which the country
has passed, was coming on, before
the end of the last republican admin
istration, and that the republican
Secretary of the Treasury, Mr.. Eos
ter was at his wits end to meet the
demands on the treasury, at the time
and for some time previous to his
going out of office. The election in
1892 was notice to manufacturers
that there would be reductions in
tariff duties, Notwithstanding which,
they pursued the even tenor of their
ways without any apparent intention
of going out of business AS mat
ter of fact and statistics there has
been larger percentage of failures,
and a larger number of unemployed
men since the passage of the McKin-
ley bill than before, and further that
the agricultural interests of the coun-
try and the prices of products, have
steadily deprecated under the oper-
alton of that law. The men who thus
aim to mislead the country know
that they are not stating facts and
put themselves in the position of
dishonest leaders. - Martinsburq

A Great Literary Sensation-Mr. Hall
Gaines New Novel, "The Manx-
man."

In the New York Ledger of Febru-
AIRY 18th, the Washington's Birthday
number, will be commenced this great
novel, Mr.. Hall Gaines masterpiece,
1.-THE Manxman." The inhabitants
of the Isle of Man, little island off
the coast of Scotland, devoted to fish
ing and agriculture, are known as
Manxmen, sturdy race, full of native
pride, traditional prejudice, sincere,
humane and of genuine manliness.
This has always been a favorite field
of the author. His great novel, 'TThe
Deemster,' portrays these people.
Hall Gaines deep feeling finds an ap-
propriate outlet in these strong, hear
ty, incorruptible characters, their lives
full of peril and suffering and labor.
No fable was ever so romantic as the
history of America This is the tenn
per of Mr.. Hall Caine, and such is the
author of our new Ledger story, 1.-THE
Manxman." No reader of novels can
afford to miss it. 1t is the greatest
story of our day. Such a great novel,
so full of deep lessons of life, will
create wide interest in the Ledger
among all intelligent readers, during
the coming year.

A PLEA FOR HELP.
The Poor Of Pittsburg Appeal to West
Virginia.

10 the Editor OF the NEW DOMINION.
PIrrsBURG, Feby., 2.-On account
of the scarcity of work, and hard
times in general. the middle of Dec
ember 1923, found this, the South
Side, of the city of Pittsburg, with
over 1920 families in need of the
necessaries of life.
About Dec. 10th there was call
made to the S. S. churches. A meet
ing was held Dec. Is. Six churches
were represented, DIR. l. w. Riggs,
called to the Chair, an organization
formed and called the South Side
Relief Commission, to make and dis
tribute, soup to the worthy poor, of
this part of the city, without refer
ence to Denomination or Creed.
DIR. l. W. Riggs was elected perma-
nent chairman and L. A. Smith, Sec
rotary; William Sankey, Treasurer.
There are now twenty two churches,
one G. A. Circle No. 50, one Womens
Relief Corps No. l. A total of "a
organizations. Each church takes
their turn, in the soup kitchen pre-
pairing the vegetables for the soup.
The necessities of the poor have
not abated as the weeks have passed
by. None of the mills are working
full time. Many have not yet start
ed, a majority of the glass houses
are idle and from present appear
ances, will remain so for some time
to come.
We make and distribute daily 300
gallons of soup 1000 to LOO loaves
of bread, giving to each person one
pint of good soup and J ID bread,
supplying 1000 to 1875 persons
daily.
We desire that you will place the
facts before your readers and get the
churches and Sunday schools
drought your neighborhood and the
surrounding farming districts, inter
ested and take up donations and
ship them to the South Side Relief
Commission, Pittsburg, Pa.
We use beans, peas, cabbage, po-
tatoes, turnips, rutabagas, rice, bar
ley, flour, bacon, beef, carrots and
parsnips.
If your readers could see and come
in contact with the needy as we do
they would gladly give out of their
abundance to help in this work and
we believe they will, if you put this
matter before them in its true light.
Respectfully Yours,

A NOVEL COMPLICATION
Arising Through the Similarity Of the
Names Of Drummer and Fairmont
Attorney.

A Fairmont, correspondent says;
AN amusing and very embarrassing
incident, or, rather, series Of incl
dents, occurred here last week
through slight mistake of our
worthy postmaster. A pharmaceu-
tieal firm in Columbus, Ohio, sent
number of statements to their sales
man who was due here, with instruc-
tions to collect close.
His name is Harry r. Linn, and
the letter was handed To Attorney
Harry G. Linn, who at once proceed
ed to collect, and as most of the bills
were barely due be had some Difficult
ty. He collected a bill from one
physician who made up his mind to
deal with other firms hereafter. He
next struck young Dr. Ogden, who
protested SO vigorously in very EN-
phatic language that Harry entered
suit. He next presented the other
claims to their addresses, which
ranged from Morgartown to Gamer.
on.
Meantime Harry Linn went alb out
his business, and, all unconscious of
the storm, called upon a Grafton M.
D., who elected him from the Office.
He collected bill at Morgantown,
and the NJ. ID. there the next day re-
ceived notice from Attorney Linn
that he must pay or be sued. At
this place he encountered more trou-
BILE and had about concluded the peo-
pie were very, very peculiar, when
he saw the first party who had paid
his bill and an explanation followed
Linn and Linn wrote explanatory
letters, but OF course most of the re-
cipients are still mad, and the costs

house had merely sent the state
ments to their man here, and the
similarity in names led to the mis-.
take.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
Bile price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon WALL more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

Be at Rest About a Revolt.

I
The Yew York World sizes up The
result of the congressional elections
in New York city as follows:
1sidor Stratus, Democrat, is elected
to Congress from the Fifteenth Dis
trict' by 4,637 plurality. Unfortu
nately the absurd person Quigg is
elected from the Fourteenth District
by a plurality of S65.
Mr.. Straus, who made his canvass
solely upon the Wilson bill, has car
ried his district by a plurality great,
er by 63S than that given for Cord
Meyer at the election of 1898.
This result sets st rest the talk OF
any revolt of New York workingmen
aginst that reform of the tariff for
which they voted so overwhelmingly
in 1892.
The defeat of Col. Brown in the
Fifteenth District was not unexpect.
ed, in spite of the absurdity Of the
person set mp rs candidate against
him.
1t was suspected in advance that
Croker would undermine his candi-
dacy. The boss was sorely displeas-
ed with the candidate because of the
independence he had displayed at
Albany, and, when he did not ven
ture to deny him the nomination, he
found it convenient to prevent his
election by making the most of the
disgruntlements of letter carriers,
policemen and firemen, and by
keeping from the polls many voters
who would willingly have contribut-
ed their ballots to insure the cleo.
tion OF this stalwart Democrat.
The result of the election removes
all doubt as to New York's sound
ness on the question of tariff reform.
In the one district in which that was
made the distinct issue the vote for
Straus was relatively much larger
than the normal Democratic vote;
his plurality was larger by 63s than
Cord Meyers at the last general cleo
tion, when every Democratic vote
was polled, and his percentage of the
total vote was about 60, against Cord
Meyers IS and fraction.
1t is an occasion of regret that
Quigg goes to Congress from a dis
trict ordinarily Democratic by a
large and secure majority. But it
is impossible to interpret the result
in the two districts otherwise than
as an Endorsement by New York of
the policy of tariff reform for which
the people of this city voted so over
whelmingly when that was the sole
issue.

Pugilism and Football.
New York Sun.

Those persons and papers that are
just NOW displaying such horror over
the awful brutality of prize fighting
should note the fact that Corbett
came out of his encounter with Mitch
ell not the worse for wear, and that
two hours after the fight the English
champion was eating his dinner at
the hotel, showing only few contu-
sions and slightly sore nose as the
penalties of the encounter. There
were 20 odd men killed at football
last year in England, and during the
season just closed in this country no
less than three college students were
killed while playing the game The
proportion of severe accidents in
football playing is markedly heavy.
Broken jaws, broken arms and noses,
ears torn off and eyes occasionally
rendered sightless are by no means
unusual occurrences during a foot
ball game In the recent prize fights
between Kilrain and Jem Smith,
jackson and Corbett, Sullivan and
Corbett and Mitchell and Corbett,
which are supposed to typify the
very acme of brutality in ring sports,
not one of the contestants suffered
punishment half so severe as that
which is ordinarily melted out to
football players among college stu
dents in this country.
