The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1894-10-27

LAST Friday night Protzman' s
military band was out and marched
from Miller's corner to Municipal
Hall, followed by As Republicans,
young and old When they all
reached the hall they were informed
by Ellsworth Glasscock that they
were to form Republican Club
After this information the meeting
was left in their hand and then it
became distressing They didn't
seem to have formed much of an
idea of how to go about it, and just
let it go at that. After a variety of
attempts to do something, no matter
what just so it was something, some
one timidly suggested that the best
thing to do would be to get up a
list of names of those who would join
Cheers, laughter, applause, rolling
of the drum and patter of many
rect All seemed imbued with the
happy spirit which prompted the
remark. Then an older gentleman
modestly said that the "leaders,
had been comforting and had con
cluded to invite Maj Mckinley or
Tom Reed to come to Morgantown.
This did not elicit a cheer nor even
small boy yell, as the matter was
considered too grave. The crowd
began to dispense and so DICK
Cheatom was called for. Cheatom
responded and made SPLENDID Re
publican speech saying among 9th
er things just as strong: "ney
haint nobody red hotter'n EN- and
70 mahsef I'll give two dollahs and
a bar" The meeting adjourned
amid thnnderous applause.

Considerable money was bet that
Mr.. Wilson would not go to the
mining towns along the Davis-El-
kins road. Those who bet he would
not are losers. He went and spoke
and was greeted by crowds of work
ingmen, who disregarded the intimi-
dation of the foremen, who were act
ing under instructions from the
owners. 1t is positive that the men
were ordered to not go to hear Will
sons speeches That despicable
method of working against the past,
present and future Congressman
wont avail a thing. The receptions
given Mr.. Wilson at every point
along the road were warm and en-
thusiastic. Why should people bet
he would not go any place he wants

In Monongalia, as in Taylor, Tuck
er, Randolph. Barbour, Preston, Min
eral and Pendleton counties, stock
raising is a leading industry and
outside Of some of the larger towns,
the chief sources of revenue are from
the sales Of cattle, sheep and wool
The demand for cattle has increased
of late at advancing prices. Any
farmer knows this, and drovers know
this They also know that under
the Mckinley law wool had gone
down until a good quality only
brought Is cents a pound This is
true and the market reports, which
can be found in the file of any Re-
publican daily will bear this state
nent out. Since the passage of the
Wilson bill there has been a crafty.
ing increase in the price of wool, so
that the article that was a drug at
10 cents now commands Is cents.
Your Republican market reports will
show this, too This naturally pleas
es the producers, and they already
see that the dire disasters to their
interests predicted by the protection
calamity howlers have no foundation
in fact. So there is substantial rea-
son to hope that the stock raisers
and wool producers Of this district
will be found aligned in the ranks of
tariff reform Democracy. A major
ity of them in Monongalia is by no
means looked for this year, but that
a great many of them are getting
their eyes open is no longer denied
The protectionists, the local g. 0. p,
have kept these producers blindfoId-
ed by system entirely their own,
but the scales are beginning to fall
from their eyes. There will be Re
publican majority IN Monongalia,
but it will be decreased this fall.

The Parties Confrasfed

Chairman William L. Wilson in an
article in the North American Re
view contrasts the principles of the
Republican and Democratic parties
and shows that Of the two great par
ties the Democratic is vastly in the
lead in all that tends to good govern
ment. The principles of each are
briefly outlined as follows:
The Republican party, by its ira
ditions and tendencies, the teachings
of its leaders, past and present, and
its whole history, has steady mo-
mentum toward sectionalism, high
government, interference with local
rule and local control of elections.
extravagant expenditures, heavy tax
es, bounties, subsidies and exorbi-
tant protection. ideas of govern.
mental meddling and Capitalization
dominatejt; class interests hold it
firmly to evil courses" These things
are incompatible with free and pure
government. The American people
need none of these things; only
small minority really desire them.
The Democratic party, by prlnci-
pie and tendency, by the tradition of
its elders and its steady momentum,
tends to economy, to low taxes, to
revenue tariffs, immediate response
bility to the people, and no FEDERAL
interference with local rule. These
are the very essentials of free and
pure government. If the people want
these things-and surely they need
them more than at any other time in
their history-that party, and that
party alone, is the instrument they
must use to secure them. Upon 9th.
err great issues also the scale turns
in its favor. 1t is as trustworthy as
its opponents on the monetary ques-
ton, while its ancient financial ira
dltions are sounder than those of
any great and long lived party we
have ever had And-what is truly
a GROWING merritt is, and ever has
been a national party.

Up at the barbecue at Beverley
last week Mr., Wilson took the plat
form for the main address of the
day. During his remarks voice
interrupted Mr.. Wilson to ask as tc
the truth of a Republican report
that Mr.. Wilson had brought back
with him British gold to aid him in
a free trade campaign. To this Mr..
Wilson replied:
Il went to England not for gold
but for something infinitely more
valuable to me than gold-health-
and | thank God l brought it back
with me, not English gold, but re-
stored health, enabling me to visit
the mountains and valleys of this
beloved second district and to meet
my friends again in the battle for
the relief and prosperity of thewhole
people. | thank God l never needed
gold to make campaign in the
mountains of West Virginia Brit.
ish gold, indeed? If l had wanted
gold | had no need to go to England
for it; | could have secured on this
side of the water ten times the gold
| could by any possibility have OBJ
tanned abroad if | would have con-
sented to even the slightest betrayal
of the great trust reposed in me-"

ces OF the Republicans, at the acad-

ion, Tuesday night 1t was ealam-
ity howl from away back So far
back did it come from that Reed and
Sherman have left the line it was
made on and begun to talk lit

to make an appeal to ignorance, and
truth being that he was confronted
by an intelli ent audience made
such an appeal peculiarly and en-
barrassingly unsuited to the oeea-
sion Holt ranted without argument.
He cried without fear of being an
swered His utilization of Wilson
was ludicrous in the extreme To
believe Holt would be to believe
that Mr.. Wilson is a monster whose
keenest JOY is to see his fellowman
suffer. He pictured Mr.. Wilson as
smiling with ghoulish glee at the
starvation of some family or other,
not telling how this starvation was
to come about Well, sensible peo-
pie don't take any stock in that kind
of stuff Holt got hot, loud and red
in the face. At times his plight was
pitiful. He has an awful pair of
lungs and be used them more than
he did his brains These he didn't
use because actually and truly he
did not present single argument
in favor of the policy Of protection

true. If he had been on joint debate
he would have made a different kind
of speech, of course he would. Poe
pie want to know the why and the
wherefore.
Then, after the foolish denunicia-
tory defamation for Mr. Wilson's
benefit had been completed he spoke
of the present price of wheat He did
not tell that this cereal is regulated
in price entirely by the Liverpool
market; he did not tell that the
worlds wheat completes in price with
ours; he did not tell that with all our
home market we cannot put a price
on wheat no matter what system of
government we live under-he sim
ply said ii was low in price and
blamed it on the Democratic party.
And there was howl a prolonged
and loud howl.
Holt got on the sugar question,
but he soon got of and asked what
free trade had done for this valley.
As we haven't had any free trade
here that question got lost in the
shuttle. The fact is that Holt showed
wonderful ability to make state.

him out He talked as if the cleo

This same Holt has been a Repub-
lican before. then a Democrat, then
a Democrat again, then a Promo,
no, not that; ju st the opposite-a

defeated he will swear he never was
really anything but Democrat.

Friday said: 81 am not now and

No duties should be levied for pro
lection that are not needed for reve
nue." Thomas B. Reed in a speech
in New York on Saturday said

not propose to discuss it. If we could
come into power and reetify it, il
might be well for all the people to
have all the information possible
Since the enemy have the executive
all hope of change is gone" This
is the testimony of the leaders Of the
Republican party. The one from
McKinley's state doesn't agree with
McKinleyism. The one from the east
admits that the Republican party is
powerless and unable to change the
present law. What is the use then
for the small fry Republicans to
howl for McKinleyism?

Billy Wilson's Tinkering.

Wool has advanced in price under
the new tariff law, and this has
brought up the price Of sheep. Some
fiocks Of sheep have recently been
sold at twice the price they were
worth in July. If you have sheep
that was worth 81 in July, it will
most likely bring you 50 now. That
one dollar advance is due to the
new tariff law which put wool on the
free list and opened market for
our lambs. BILLY" Wilson has been
tinkering with the markets.

Quite sensation has been Great
ed in the political world by a speech
delivered by Tom Reed on Wednes-
day last. He takes issue with Nc
Kinley, and repudiates the extremist
views of the latter on the tariff ques-
ton. In fact Reed says he considers
the tariff issue settled for long
time, and he accepts the present bill
as one that the country need not be
afraid of. His speech has created
CONSERVATION among those who have
been declaring that Republican sue
cess would mean a return to the Nc
Kinley tariff, or one more oppressive
and unjust. Reed recognizes the
fact that the people are done with
McKinleyism and protection. A tar
if for revenue sufficient to maintain
the government is as far as the peo-
pie are willing to be taxed, and any
man, or any party, that advocates
more is sure of defeat. Reed advo-
Gates this in his speech, and he &C
cepts the present tariff law as one
sufficiently pleasing to the people.
He does not, of course, approve of
the bill in words, but he regrets anv
hope of return to the Mckinley
rates. In other words he is a candi-
date, and he is trying to place him
self en- rapport with public senti-
ment, Reed is smart enough to drift
with the tide, and his present declar-
alton leaves Mckinley and Harrison
to fight it out alone as representa-
tives and advocates OF continuation
of the infamy of l891-Parhersburg

The University Foot Ball Team Takes
the Mt. Pleasant BOYS into Camp.

1t was the first game of the season
and meighty yell went up from the
Threats of the rooters when it was
over. The W. V. U. team bad won by
a score of l6 to 0, and were as fresh
as when they started The Mt.
Pleasant college team Of Pennsylva-
MIA were the victims. The w. V. u.
had selected them to open the sea
son with game on last Saturday
They arrived about noon and with
them DIR. Stephens. president Of the
institution and few students who
came to yell The team looked very
formidable, especially when the giant,
Wyant got on his kicking shoes and
sent the oval mp in the air and over
the field so fast that it was out of
sight half the time In practice the
team showed up admirably, bat the
boys evidently forgot the tactics
when the bail was in play. The game
was called at two o'clock A fairly
good sized crowd was over at the
grounds in South Morgantown when
the fun began. The W. V. u. stu.
dents yelled loud and long and
waved aloof the college colors and
made frightful noises on hundreds of
tin horns. If the boys had lost. it
would not have been the fault OF he
rooters
From the beginning Of the game
il was evident that the Mt. Pleasant
boys were outclassed. They played
well at times and throughout the
game Wyant was in magnificent
form and saved his associates from
an iguominious defeat by his splen-
did interference and good judgment
in all around playing. But they
could not stand the heavy rnshes
made by our boys and invariably
brokeaway at a bad time. Our boys
all showed up well Half back South
was sick and Beal was taken from
the line and played the position ad
mirably. Carrigan played Bealls
position at left guard. Kunst made
two Of the touchdowns, one after
sharp rushes and the other after a
run of forty five yards with beauti
fol interference Reynolds made the
other touchdown after hard run Of
thirtyfiye yards with fine interfer-
ence by Rane The success of the
game depended upon no particular
person, All the boys were in evi
dence and erybody distinguished
himself during the short game. Only
half the game was played as the Mt.
Pleasant boys had to catch the train.

who has had lots of experience, says
our team is = strong one, and that it
is allie to cope with many ofthe big
teams

team of that place. About seventy
five students will accompany them
and everybody expects that Captain
