Tbe party o. the Laboring Man.

Iue Eaftl u tAc -14noAAAAes -----s
Tmes-C Citizen.
The Republican party advocates
the protection of everything except
American labor. The manufac-
turer, already rolling in wealth, re
ceives the benefit of all the govern
mental legislation that he may
choose to ask. Year after year the
Republican party has placed upon
the statute books laws drawn for
the especial benefit of the wealthy
manufactures, and in every instance
working great evil to the American
laborer, grinding him into deeper
poverty by making wage reduc-
tion possible and eventually certain,
and at the same time increasing to
him the cost of every article of daily.
use.
And not only this but the ac-
cursed contract labor law, so long a
national statute, was enacted by
the Republicans, under the leader
ship of Thad Stevens. Under this
law, wealthy corporations imported
thousands of italian and Hungarian
cutthroats and paupers to do the
work in American mines and fac
tories, that had formerly been done.
by honest and respectable Ameri-
can labor. a Democratic Congress
repealed this iniquitous legislation
and placed the American working
man on at least the same level with
the foreigner.
And not only this, but the Demo-
cratic party has now given to the
men who earn their daily bread, q
tariff law that enables him to pur-
chase at reduced prices almost all
the necessaries of life and renders
it possible for him and his family to
possess many little luxuries of which
they had never before dreamed.
And still further substantiate it's
claim to bring the party of the peo-
pie, the Democratic party has plac-
ed tax upon incomes that equal
ICES governmental burdens by trans
ferring to the shoulders of tho rich
a portion of the load so long borne
by the poor alone.
Many audacious claims are made
by the Republican party, but mono
shows SO much effrontery as that it
is the friend of labor. Republican
ism alone is responsible for the
building up of the powerful plutoc-
racy that has SO ground down the
workingman of America, and even
imperils the existence of our insti-
tutions.

IEALousY.

"A jealous man is not content with
the present love and loyalties of his
wife; even her past belongs to him;
it makes him wretched to know that
the woman he loves has ever had
another affair of the heart. He
tortures himself with the thought
that she has secrets which he may
never know. He is angry, sore
wretched, at the suspicion that she
did not conduct herself as if she had
known all along that he was com
ing. Any reference to life in
which he had no part disturbes him.
Woe to the woman who plays upon
this dangerous passion by recount
ing her former experiences, how
ever harmless or jnstifable though
they may have been. There is no
surer way to destroy domestic peace
than this. a jealous man is gener-
ally very suspicious one, and his
confidence is easily overthrown.
Another form of jealousy deals with
tho possibilities of the future. The
Hindoo custom of burning the wild
ow is assigned to this. So, also, is
the provision formerly common in
wills, which forbids the wife to mar
ry again under certain fiscal penal
ties. But the f1ercest of jealosy is
that which deals with the present.
In the Orient this feeling prompts
men to keep their women under
lock and key, or to forbid their ap-
pearance in public otherwise than
yelled. 1t is the origin of the
Chinese custom which compels wo-
men to mutilate their feet, SO that
walking abroad shall be difficult
task, and of the Japanese custom
which made young brides shave off
their eyebrows and blacken their
teeth. In civilized nations the fact
that women are given more liberty
than in the warier Orient adds to
the possibilities over which the dis
eased Imagination of tho Jealous
lover exeites itself to madness.
What motive can Nature have in
planting this passion in the breast
of man? Mainly to guard the
sanctity of home. Ugly as the pas
sion may become when welded to
suspicion, it is powerful champion
of morality, and has been an active
agent in securing the civilizing do
mesticities of our present life.

A Tax ON Prosperity.

New York World.
In their Saratoga platform the
Republicans exhibit their usual re-
luctance to commit themselves de-
initely regarding the income tax.
1t is true that they denounce it as
an unwarrantable intrusion into
private affairs, as if all taxes did not
involve this. But they carefully
avoid pledging themselves to its re-
peal.
In an unusual spirit of frankness
the writer of the platform describes
the income tax as ''a tax upon pros
perity" aud seems to think that
this condemns it. But where
should the burden of taxation rests
unless it be upon prosperity? Are
the Republicans ready to commit
themselves to the proposition that
poverty rather than prosperity
should furnish the revenues needed
by the Goyernment2 Should loss
rather than profit be the measure of
ones taxes?
For twenty I've years or moro
the Republicans have acted upon
this extraordinary conception of
taxation, but they have never until
now openly avowed it. 1t has been
their practice to impose burdens
upon the poor and to exempt the
rich; to levy taxes upon the farmer
and the laborer for the benefit of
the monopolist; to compel need to
pay tribute to greed. But now for
the first time they have boldly writ
ten this creed of oppression aud
class privilege into platform. For
the first time they have proclaimed
the doctrine that wealth is to be ex-
empt while poverty pays.
Upon that issue the Democracy
can go the people with confidence.
Republican folly gives the Demo-
Gratis an opportunity to declare as a
doctrine of the party faith that they
shall contribute most of the cost of
government who are best able to
pay and who enjoy most of the ad-
vantages that orderly government
bestows, that ga tax upon prosperi.
ty" is always and everywhere pre-
ferable to a tax npon poverty and
misfortune.

The Award OF the Gods.

There was a great stir on Mount
Olympus. Jupiter had offered a
golden wreath to the one who could
tell the biggest lie.
The competition was keen, and
the gods strove nightly for the
prize.
Mars had just finished tale ol
wonderful conquests, when little
man stepped forward boldly and
confidently.
He carried pen behind his ear
and there were splotches on his
hand.
When the gods and goddesses
saw him they rushed forward with
one accord, seized the golden wreath
and placed it on his head.
1t was a Republican editor who
doomed the tin-plate industry in
World.

Hostile Sugar Planters.

The attitude of hostility towards
the Democratic party assumed by
the Louisiana sugar planters is nc
surprise to those who have watched
the drift of American politics dur.
ing the past ten years. In a gen
eral way it is part of the realign-
ment which must go on for num-
Der of years to come, as in particu-
lar, it is a result of the bid the
Republicans made for the vote Of
Louisiana when they enacted the
bounty act.
1t was easy to see then that the
almost inevitable effect of this would
be to make the sugar planters Re.
publican. As recipients of bounty
they came to represent property
privilege and to feel the necessary
antagonism between their privileges
and Democratic principles.
The same class in Alabama, in
Georgia and some other Southern
States is equally hostile to Democ
racy, and in the end it will show
its hostility as the Louisiana plant
ers are doing now.
The realignment thus made Ger
tain has already made considerable
progress, and when issues are forced
it will have far-reaching effect
an effect that will in the long run
be of immense benefit to the
country.
The Louisiana bounty farmers
need not think the they will intimi.
date Democrats into taking their
part against farmers who raise cot.
ton, wheat, corn and other crops
for which bounty has. never been
asked. The threat of taking Loui.
siana over to the Republicans is nc
longer formidable. Rather than
yield to the demands for subsidies
to few wealthy people in single
State the Democrats can well afford
to exchange Louisiana for the great
cereal growing States of the Central
West and Northwest.

Repeal That Law.

There is a law on the statute
books of West Virginia, that revives
and puts in force the barbarous, un-
just law of imprisonment for debt.
1t is enforced through the capias
profne A judgment is rendered
against citizen for some misde-
meanor and he is ordered to pay
the state fine and the officers OF
the court various sums as costs.
This is the real effect of such judg-
ment. 1t is simply an order to pay
money. The prosecuting attorney
of any county can seize the body OF
such judgment debtor and confine
him in Jail at his pleasure, until such
fine and costs are paid. 1t may be
claimed that such law is for the
benefit of the State. Such claim is
false, absolutely false. In the ma
jority of cases the state has but a
minor interest equal to not more
than 40 per cent of the judgment.
Ifi it were not for the fees due the
officers few indeed would be the
causes ofcompIaint. The imprison-
ment of a man who is too poor to
pay a judgment, no matter to whom
it is owing, is an outrage. tits a
disgrace to West Virginia, to hu-
manity, to christianity. In the jail
of Harrison county, there are now
several imprisoned debtors.

He Was Made Treasurer.

Scotchmen are famous for being
"up to snuff" and here is story
exhibits the native shrewdness,
and shows how the collections were
doubled.
In a small town in Midlands there
is rich congregation, which is not
characterized by lavish liberality.
Time after time the minister had
vainly appealed to his people to con-
tribute more generously to the funds
ofthe church. The members would
indeed, give something, but it was
nearly always the smallest coin of
the realm that was place upon the
plate.
A shrewd Scotchman who had re-
Gently come to the place and had
joined the church was not long in
noticing this state of affairs, and a
remedy soon suggested itself to his
practical mind.
"I'll tell you what, he said to one
ofthe officials, if you make me treas
urer, Eli engage to double the col
lections inside of three months"
His offer was promptly accepted;
and sure enough, the collections be-
gan to increase, until by the time he
had stated they were nearly twice
as much as formerly.
"How have you managed it, Mr..
sandyman2" said the pastor to him
one day.
"It's great secret, returned the
canny Scot; "but I'll tell you in con-
fidence. The folk, / saw, maistIy
gave three penny bits. Weel, whom
l got the money every Sabbath
evening, carefully picked out the
sma' coins and put them by. Moo,
as there's only limited number of
three penny pieces in little place
like this, and as have maist O. them
at present under lock and key, the
folk maun give sax-pences, at least,
instead. See, that's the way the
collections are doubled"

Those Roane County Orders.

In November, 1893, the Supreme
Court of this State held that a
County Court cannot bind the levies
of future years under sections 25
and 26, chapter 1914, of the Acts of
1872 and 1873, to pay for improve
ments made on roads and bridges,
without first submitting all ques-
tions in relation thereto to vote of
the people as required by section S,
article 10. of the Constitution.
Some years ago Mr.. E. W. Will
liams, of Clarksburg, erected court
house at Spencer, W. Va. The
County Court of Roane county is
sued orders to him for the work,
payable out of the leyies of 1887,
1888, 1889 and 1890. The most of
the orders were cashed by the Mer-
chants National Bank and the West
Virginia Bank of Cla~ksburg, and
were paid by the county, except
two orders of $1,000 each, held by
these two banks, the payment of
which was repudiated by Roane
county, after the decision of the
Supreme Court, above referred to,
was made. One of these orders was
transferred by Mr.. Williams to Col.
T. S. Spates, to whom it was paid
by the West Virginia Bank, which
brought suit to recover of Mr.. spates
the amount SO paid by it. Upon a
demurrer to the evidence Judge
Hagan held that tho plaintiff could
not recoyer. And tho same order
will be made in the case of the Mer-
chants NATIONAL Bank against Mr..
Williams, brought to recover the
other order 1t is said the plaintiffs
viii appea the cases.
