The Way the Tariff Works.
d Levez Headed West H1rgtntan on
Free Wool.

The Charleston Is. CD News and Courier of
Sept. %, under the above caption, says:
Mr. julius c. Holmes, inspector of public
buildings from the supervising architects
office, treasury department, Washington. was
in the city yesterday and inspected the work
done on the new postoffice. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Holmes was shown around the city
by T. F. McGarey and was seen by reporter
ut the st. Charles Hotel last night. he said
that Charlcston's building was going to be
one of the finest in the South and that it was
progressing rapidly and satisfactory. He will
go to Savannah to-day to inspect the new
postofice and custom house now building
there.
Mr. Holmes halls from Charles Town, West
Virginia, and, Ike many other good Demo-
crats of that State, is very proud of VIM. l..
Wilson, the father OF the Wilson bill.
I'VE are feeling the good effects of that
bill already" said he, ''and some of them
would surprise;you For instance. since the
bill was passed and wool was placed on the
free list. our wool has advanced from Is
cents to % cents. And the explanation is that
American manufacturers have now gotten
competitor and can't make their 'all-wCor
goods half shoddy they must use more wool,
and tho increased demand puts up the price.
That's the way it works.

Senator David B. Hills speech on
taking the chair to preside over the
New York Democratic Convention
last Tuesday was splendid one, and
Democrats in other States might do
well to profit by it. After paying a
high compliment to President CIeve-
lands administration, which he char
acterized as "cIean-handed, econom-
zeal, painstaking and patriotic" he
further said, in speaking of the i'm
portance of harmony in the Demo-
cratic ranks, that ''the duty of the
hour is not harsh criticism of Demo-
cratic leaders or Democratic meas
ures; not mutual recriminatiors nor
conflicting counseIs, but it is a time
for Cancellation, for unity ofpurpose,
for aggressive action.
"The common enemy now con-
fronts US, seeking our political dis
traction. Bear in mind that the con-
troll of both legislative departments
of the government are at stake in the
coming election. Intraparty strife
must now cease, and our attacks re-
served for the foes who are already
forming their lines of battle against
u.s."
And again, in comparing the effect
of the present fight, upon the great
national struggle in 1896, said:
1--WE shall encounter the cohorts of
corporations in this campaign, led
by audacious and INSCRIPTIONS lead
ers, who are fighting not only for the
control of New York, but for the con-
troll of the country. we are on the
skirmish line of the great national
battle of 1896, and the loss of New
York may lose our party the presi-
dency. The whole country is breath
lessIy and hopefully watching our
contest and we must do our full
duty. Sinking every prejudice, sub
ordinating every selfish considera-
ton, actuated only by high and pa
triotic motives, realizing how much
is at stake to be won or lost, mindful
of the grand traditions which belong
to the party of jefferson, Jackson
and Tilden, knowing that united
Democracy in this State means an
old-fashioned Democratic triumph,
let us buckle on our armor and to-
gether march like 'the Macedonian
phalanx of old, with locked shields
and measured tread,' to the contest
that awaits us, with courage, with
resolution, with confidence, believing
that our cause is just and that God
and the right will surely give US the
victory"

The st. Louis Express, No. 2,
east-bouEd, was derailed and several
cars wrecked Thursday morning at
Myers Hole, near North Mountain,
six miles east of Cherry Run, ON the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Re-
pair hands had just completed laying
piece of repaired track and it is
said the rails were not securely
spiked to the ties. While the en-
CINE was passing over the track the
rails spread. The train is one of the
finest which the Baltimore and Ohio
runs to and from the West. 1t com
prised baggage car, postal car,
two vestibuIed day coaches and two
Pullman cars. The train was run
ming at the rate of sixty miles an
hour when the accident occurred.
The entire train, except the engine
and tender, left the tract. Almost
miraculous to state, no one was Sc
riously injured. Two sleepers aud
two day coaches left the track and
rolled down the bank, about twenty
FIVE feet deep. The cars were filed
with passengers and how the acct
dent occurred without great loss of
life cannot be understood.

An Eloquent Peroration.

Hon. n. C. Bell, of Illinois, in
concluding his recent speech at Graf
ton, said:
"Let us cherish and support the brave men,
the Clevelands, the Wilson's, the Voorhees,
the Mills, the Williams. who have fought and
are still fighting our battles. They will con-
duct us to a complete and glorious victory.
$50 let it be with US now in this great battle
of the people for q most complete tariff re-
of this country. Let us not beat a retreat,
but let us beat n charge all along the line
We beat that charge in '76; We beat it in 1884;
we beat it in 1892. oh, let us beat it now,
and beat it in 1896! Let us beat it for Democ-
racy, beat it for country, beat it for posterity,
beat 1t for man!
"And let the old, familiar and inspiring bat
tie cry, so often heard in the days gone by
onward to victory! ring through the valleys
and reverberate amidst the mountains of West
Virginia, arousing to the supreme Importance
and menacing dangers of the hoar the faith
full friends and devoted followers of that
princely gentleman and finished scholar and
statesman, than whom no other voice in this
gallant state has so often ruug its trumpet
blasts upon the ear of freedmen, and whose
triumphant reelection at this time would give
to the cause of freedom of trade and death to
monopoly, such an inspiration and momen-
tum as nothing else could possibly give. Need

The Baltimore SUMS Grafton cor
respondent has had an interview with
Hon. Sam. v. Woods, one of the
ablest and best informed Democrats
of Barbour county, which is the
home of Mr.. A. G. Dayton, Hon. VIM.
L. Wilson's opponent for Congress.
Mr.. Woods says the Democracy OF
Barbour county is thoroughly organ
lied, and that he knows of only two
or three Democrats in the county who
will vote gainst Mr.. Wilson, while,
on the other hand, he knows that at
least five times as many Republicans
will vote for him. Mr.. Woods says
the advancing price of cattle and
wool are proving important factors
for Mr.. Wilson in the stock-raising
portions of the district. 1t is prob
able these will more than overcome
the slight disaffection which may be
created in the mining region by the
coal barons, who are angered because
the new tariff cuts down the tax on
imported coal from rs to 40 cents a
ton.
