GRAFTON, w. VA, Oct. 22.-
Especial. IA big deal has been
made here in the last few days be-
tween the John Il. McGraw Coal
Company, of tkis pIace, and the
Elk Garden Company, of Elk Gar
den, w. Va. Some time last year
the John McGraw Company pur.
chased large tract of coal land up
near Pennington, this county, con-
sisting of from 5000 to 5000 acres
Of coal. They have now leased the
same to the Elk Garden Coal Com
pany, and this company has ar
ranged to put several hundred
hands to work at once and open up
and operate the mines. This will
be quite big boom for this county
and will boom business here and
all along the line of railroad. 1t
will also result in placing on the
market all the coal land all over
the county. There are large fields
Of the Freeport coal in the county,

but let us hope on still for redress
through the pacific tribunals of law,
and that the might OF outraged
maJoritics may not be goaded to
desperation In their resistance 70
wrong. in their stand for the right.
Further on in the same talk Mr..
Horr comes with this link in his
Illogical confederation: "What we
need in the United States is good
wages for work, steady employment
for our men, aud we have got
enough money to do twice the bust
ness we are doing" Good wages
steady employment? Yes, but the
National Bank System bellies the
theory of good wages and steady
employment. The greenb backs were
destroyed and silver demonetized to
make way for the bonds and bank
notes-for the double geared inter
est-bearing machinery Of the mis-.
named National Banks. The labor
OF the country pays the interest on
the bonds and the interest on loans.
Labor only produces and pays. La
Dor is robbed Of this dou BILE interest,
for silver and green backs had moth
ing to do with bonds, nor were they
issued by the banks. But banks
hoard the money, hold it, get be-
tween enterprise and labor, levying
their tribute upon both. "For lack
of confidence" so said, hundreds
OF millions of money lying idle in
bank vaults and thousands of men
lying in enforced idleness. Good
wages and steady employment |!
Nice to talk about But the system
OF legallzed bank robbery must first
OF all Ne builded on bonds, supplied
with bonus of bogus credit bills
the system must be perpetuated at
the price of bondage, even, to the
Industrial classes of the land. The
financial system exists, not for the
benefit OF the hum BILE wage-earner,
nor the man of small means, but in
the interest of the money changers.
They have m ide the temple of lib
erty den of thieves. In the name
OF all that is holy and right cast
these plunderers out! Let the Dec.
laration of Independence once more
and for all time inspire our laws
and institutions with the truth that
all men are created equal.
The Constitution of the Unite
States favors free silver for free
mon. Shall its provisions be tram
pied in the dust ?

CATCHING A CALAMITY HowLER

In recent issue of this paper,
we stated that WOODEN goods, blau.
kets, clothing, wraps, dry goods
and many other things were cheap.
er than last year, and that it was
partly owing to the good effects of
the new tariff bill. The Grafton
Sentinel took us up on it and de-
MED our statements and claimed
that Grafton merchants were selling
goods at but little less than last
year, and that they sold as low or
lower than here or anywhere else.
We knew that the Sentinel was
lying about 1t, and to prove it,
glanced over it's columns and Sc
lected from the big advertisements
In 1t, three of the largest dealers in
clothing and dry goods In Grafton,
and wrote them, asking how their
prices compared with last year and
II they were selling any cheaper
than a year ago.
L.. Addison, the "KinR Cloth
ier," and one of the largest dealers
IN the State, replies as follows: 81
can save you from 10 to 90 per cent
from last years prices. Come down.
1t will pay you"
Mr.. K. Klein, another extensive
dealer in clothing and gents furn-
ishing goods, etc., says: eve have
big stock of goods and the prices
are way down below last years. l
am positive l can save you from Is
to 20 per cent" That means 81
off on $40 suit Of clothes, and
3D. on.
Tho firm of Davis & Byers, large
retail dealers in dry goods, notions,
silks, dress goods, fine shoes, etc.
write at considerable length quot
ing their low prices on good goods.
We extract as follows: "Wraps and
WOODEN goods IN our line are much
cheaper than a year ago. The best
standard prints at cents per yard;
good ginghams, cents per yard.
Muslin, as good as you would want
for any purpose, at cents per
yard" etc.
These letters are from leading
merchants of Grafton and promi-
nent advertisers in the Sentinel, and
only indicate the absolute truth of
the low prices of goods everywhere.
AS regards the politics of the above
named parties we have no idea in
the world, except as to Hon. TEos.
Il. Davis, the principal member Of
the firm of Davis & Byers. AS is
well known he was the Republican
candidate for Governor in 1892.
The Sentinel might as well take its
medicine straight and quit making
an ugly face about it, for all the
evidence is against it and no
amount of lying aud calamity howl
ing will sustain it's statements. The
Leader of last week just skinned
the Sentinel alive, and showed up
from the Grafton merchants also,
that our statements III the begin
ming about the wonderful low prices
of goods, we're absolutely true.
