Disbursement of Doctors.

While the Republicans are yell
ing themselves into bad colds over
McKinley's absurd declaration that
the object of tariff is protection
with (accidentaD incidental rove
nue." at the same time they are
stamping the floor into splinters in
applauding John Sherman's declar-
alton that 81 am not now, and never
was, an extreme protectionist. No
duties should be levied for protec-
ton that are not needed for reve-
nue." Now if that is not tariff for
revenue only, what is it? All this
in this campaign in the year of
grace 1894.
But this is not all. Along comes
Tom B. Reed, the great "brains' of
the Republican party, and declares
that 81 will not discuss the tariff,
because it is of no use TO discuss il;
it is no longer an issue. The Demo
Gratis, in passing the Senate tariff
bill, builded better than they knew.
In many respects it is preferable to
the Mckinley law"
Then comes the late Mr.. Harri-
son and wants protection tariff
just high enough and not an inch
higher than will afford necessary
protection to our industries. For
the industries which need no pro-
lection (and very few of them do
need any this is rank free trade.
Mckinley is for a prohibitive tar
if.
John Sherman is for tariff for
revenue only.
Tom Reed is in favor of the Sen
ate bill.
And Harrison is for free trade.
And they all want to be Presi-
dent, and the Republicans yell for
them ALL etSel Democrat.

kanaWha Gazette.
In 1866, when the passage of a
tariff bill was being considered by
Congress in order to defray the
enormous debtsincurred by the war,
there were many Republicans who
opposed. Among the number was
Hon. Jas. A. Garfield, then member
of the House of Representatives
from Ohio. The following is an ex-
tract from a speech of his delivered
on the sixth of July, 1866, in which,
he looking forward, pictured the re-
suits of a protective tariff with as
much graphicness as can any speak
er of today, looking back at the
fulfillment of Garfeld's remarkable
prophecy. He said:
"A tariff is urged upon us by
those who would place so high a du-
ty upon foreign merchandise as to
prohibit the importation of any ar,
ticle which this country produces or
can produce. Besides placing our
selves in an attitude of perpetual
hostility to other nations, and great
ly reducing our carrying trade, we
should make monopolists of all the
leading manufacturers of the coun-
try, who could fix the price of their
products at their discretion.
The Republican party did not
yield to the opposition within its
own ranks to protective tariff poll
cy and for a quarter of century,
the country realized all the ruinous
effects of high tariff. We quote an
other Republican authority as evil
dence of the effects of a protective
tariff. In 1888, in a speech in the
United States Senate, John Sher-
man said:
In 1867, the price of wool was 81
cents; in 1870, 46 cents; in 1880,
which was an abnormal year, 40
cents per pound; this was the result
of the policy of protecting the wool
growers, as it is in all industries, to
gradually reduce the price. Under
the operation of the existing law,
the price of wool has gradually
gone down.
So John Sherman says that the
effect of protective tariff is to Gre
ate lower prices. If this be true,
and surely no Republican will ques-
ton the statement of so eminent an
authority, now let us hear the
Calamity Howler say that low pri.
ces and hard times are the result OF
a Democratic tariff.

From Recent Book ssIf Christ Came to
Gongress.v
aOne more instance of the out
come and offspring of our vicious
system of legislation and we will
close this chapter.
@Thirty years ago man was sent
to Washington to enter the public
service. he was so poor that it is
said that he had to borrow the mon
ey to pay his expenses from his
home-to the city. For the first ten
years of the time perhaps he receiv-
ed $4,000 annually, and for the re-
naming twenty years $4,000 per
annum, a total of something like
$4,000. To-day he is worth ten
million dollars. He is called the
greatest financier in the nation, and
indeed he must be to have accumu-
lated this vast sum of money while
attending to his arduous official du-
ties. He lives in an elegant man
sion on X street, worth over half a
million dollars, and he is the distin-
guished Senator, John Sherman.
"Thcre is something radically
wrong in our social and political
structure when man can thus
amass fortune while serving his
people; and the storms which are
now raging around itand the waves
which are now beating against it
will surely cause this fabric to top
pie and fall.
"The American people are long
suffering, but there will come time
when they will refuse to belonger
burdened in order thata favored few
may roll in wealth and luxury, and
trample upon their PROSTATE bleed
ing bodies. At midnight, perhaps,
the cry will be heard, "BehoId the
long suffering people are risingl'
and then WOO unto the plutocrats
who have SO long ignored their
pleadings."
And the author of the above could
have truthfully added that the legis-
Iation which has made it possible
for men to accumulate these vast
fortunes is wholly Republican.
When we think of the millions of
men who have been made poor un-
der this system that has made a few
rich, we wonder how any man
could have the hardwood to vote
the Republican ticket.

AChance for Trodo

A splendid opportunity fot Amer
lean enterprise is pointed out by
Mr.. b. w. S. Jingle the American
Consul at Brunswick Germany, a
son of ex.Sheriff Geo. r. Tingle,
formerly of Wheeling. Mr. Tingle
calls attention to the inferiority of
1.-The house furniture used by the Ger
man people as compared with the
furniture in common use in the
United States. Furniture of all
kinds is dear and poor in Germany.
1t is neither comfortable, artistic in
make, nor durable. These defects
are partially accounted for by the
dearness of all kinds of wood in
Germany, and partly by inferiority
in workmanship and the non-utili-
cation of machinery to cheaper
manufacture.
Mr.. Tingle suggests that for the
reasons stated, Germany offers an
O0SSllSuI ASAO 4OE Iu0 extension Oh
American trade. He thinks that
cheap substantial furniture, not
withstanding German high tariff
rates and freight, could be readily
sold. The customs duties range
from 36 cents per 100 pounds on
rough implanted furniture to sl.2O,
$3.50 and $3.50 per 100 pounds ac-
cording to quality. The freight
from New York to Hamburg is
sl2O per 100 pound. 1t might be
good policy to ship furniture in a
rough state, and put it together
and paint and decorate it alter land
ing it in Germany. The hint of the
Consul is certainly worthy of the
attention of some of our great fur
niture manufacturers.

The Manufacturers Record, a
weekly industrial journal published
at Baltimore, Md, which is an au-
thority on such things reports that
during the past week there has
been 152 new industries reported
to them throughout the United
States, though their report ouly
covers a part of the States OF the
number reported West Virginia is
credited with eight new concerns.
The State which reports the largest
number is Texas with fifteen and
the lowest one is Mississippi with
only two. There were but fifteen
States included in the report, and
if the other twenty nine States
should only report as many as
Mississippi, the number of new
works would be large one.

McKinIey,s Circus.


Why does the Governor of Ohio
swing round the political circle at
this amazing rate2 Does he regard
the election of a republican Con-
gress of so much consequence?
Not at all, unless he expects the
next Presidential election TO be
thrown into the next house of Con
gress. He hardly expects that.
lie is simply electioneering as a
candidate for next President. He
is the Grand Llama of protection.
lie wears rings on his fingers and
tariff bells on his toes, and he makes
music wherever he goes. And
such music! 1t would make the
beasts that Orpheus charmed go
into conyulsions. That man pros
pers more, the more he is taxed,
such is the giddy refrain.
If Mckinley is in earnest, he is a
Don Quixote; if he is not, he is a
humbug. Altogether be is char
acter, an amusing character Vet
eel Democrat.

It's big waste of time and money
for Mckinley to parade himself
over the country-to satisfy himself
that he is not dead. But the people
know that he is, and also know
what killed him. 1t was the pass
age of the new Democratic tariff
law, under the provisions of which
the people are emerging from the
disastrous effects of the Mckinley
law, and are now upon the eve OF
the most prosperous era the country
has ever experienced. That's what
killed Mckinley and his Presiden-
tiaI possibilities, and he should not
let himself be deceived by believing
that it is otherwise, because people
flock to see him while on exhibition.
1t is simply a craze the American
people have for viewing a corpse.

Our Republican friends are not
just now kicking SO much against
the inquisitorial and unjust income
tax. Those poor bread winners who
have to live on incomes of $4,000 a
year or pay 2 per cent. on all above
that amountare not getting as much
Republican sympathy as formerly.
It's shame to have them pay any
part of the tax for the support of
the national government, when
there are SO many men who are
making the princely sum of less
than dollar per day. But of course
if the Republicans had their way,
the Income Tax would be wiped
from the statutes, and the rich men
would be exempted from paying
this just Income Tax.

There are just seven working
days between now and the election.
Let every Democrat ask himself
what he has done to insure us a
victory. If he has yet done nothing
for the success of his party, get to
work. Democrats are fighting
against big odds. We can't hope
to win with ease. We have array
ed against us the Republican party
backed by all the power of wealth
and the most earnest work and the
closest watching to guard against
boodlers will be necessary to pre-
vent the Democracy being cheated
out of a victory. From now until
the close of the campaign, let
Democrats. devote every energy
to the cause and victory is
certain. But if apathy and over
confidence prevail, disaster may
await US instead of victory

Democrats, this is a Critical
period in the history of our party,
the present tariff law, which has
embodied many of the good feat
ures of Democratic principles has
not yet had time to demonstrate to
any great degree the advantages to
be gained. Republican ascension
to power means an Immediate re-
peal of the good work accomplished;
Democratic continuance at the head
of the Government assures greater
advancement in tariff reform. In
view of these facts it behooves us to
stand by our principles at the polls
and fight to give the new tariff law
fair trial. 1t is the duty of every
Democrat now to uphold his party
and work as never before.
