my kraut every year for Sc a barrel nnt
with no trouble. That paid me we'll. ;
How much did you get for it thi
year, ! naturally asked
We'll, he said, last fall l had
good crop of cabbages and put up TOt
barrels of kraut, which expected woulr
bring me in -, 200. l wrote to the firm
IN Pittsburg that always bought IN,
kraut for their prices, and they wrot,
back and said they could not give m,
moro than "a barrel "
why, that meant 81, 100 less thai
usual, :" / said, .... -.
Yes. They said they had no conf
dence in this government, and thing
were pretty quiet III Pittsburg, and the,
could not do any better This got m,
mad because | was a good Democra
and helped elect this government, so
mp and wrote them that | didn't have
TO take their 81 anyhow, but woult
wait bit. -
Did they have to come to you for i
afterward!" / asked.

81 waited bit and looked around, but
didn't see any buyers, 30 l wrote them
l would take their 81 You bet hated
to have to come to their terms "
so you sold it, them for 81. 100 less
than you usually goty' | asked
I'm - if ] didI' lie answered,
with a thump Of his fist ON tho seat in
front of him that made passenger sit.
ting ON it jump up as if he had been
shot.
No, sir" he continued. Those fel.
lows then were SO doggono mean that
they wrote back and told me they
couldn't take it at any price, that the
men who usually bought kraut from
them We're out of work and had nc
money to buy anything"
THAT must have made Won feel
mad?" / suggested sympathizingly.
Il "Madi Mad wasn't in it. cursed
around SO that nobody came near me
for a month. felt they were just guy
ing me because they knew / was good
Democrat. and ] had never had any
trouble with them before in all tho 10
years We did business together. You
bet / was mad.
What did you do them" was my
next question.
We'll, sir, l made up my mind that
they should see ! could sell kraut # thcy
couldn't, and good kraut it WAS too. i
started out then IN earnest to hunt a
market -
'Where did you sell it, after all?"
well, air, L have beon hunting a
market ever since I ann Just come now
from Cincinnati after being away two
weeks ON my last trip, and III be = if
can find living soul anywhere who
wants to buy one single barrel of lsraut
or of anything else.
THAT seems too bad. can hardly
believe it, F." said earnestly.
Yes, sir, it's true. I've tried my
hardest so as not to let those PittsburQ
fellows see I was beaten But every
where I went it's the same answer,
Men not at work, So no sale for any
thing. For 10 years had no trouble
but under this Democratic government,
which / helped to elee t, Nv. lost the
sale of 700 barrels Of lsraut that ought
to have brought me 81, 200. ="
What are You going to do about itf''
| said, with interest
Do? Do?" he answered "There's
My one thing to do, and that is to turn
isse fellows out, I'm Republican
."w, No moro Democrats for me. I'm
'rr projection. No moro free trade for
ne This free trade talk has cost me
-, 200. and I'm working hard now for
tho Republicans, sir and we Republic,
ans expect to garry this state of West
Virginia by a majority of 3, 900 or 20,
900, and, by -, We'll do it, "
