Mr.. Bryan's frequent references
to the rule of syndicates are unfort-
innate and unkind to the great silver
syndicate which is the chief sup
porter of his candidacy.-Pittsbu
Dispatch.
The above statement, coming as
it does from newspaper that claims
to print all the news all the time, is
a very unfortunate one for it to
make. This claim was first made by
Senator Thurston, and on the denial
of Mr.. Bryan and his offer to sub
nit his books for inspection if nee
essary, the Senator gracefully came
down the tree. He said, "Mr Bry-
ans word is good enough for me"
The Dispatch had this in it's news
columns and knows it is fact.
Then for it to make use of such a
contemplate editorial fling is moth
ing short of brazenfaced, impudent
lying. If it gets all the news, it
knows what Bryan said about it.
If it does not, it had better take
down its sign. Either horn of the
dilemma is uncomfortable and there
is no honorable means of extricating
itself There is only one syndicate
candidate and Hanna is his prophet.

quently sells for short time simply
because it is new. But in medicine,
as in nothing else, the people demand
and will be satisfied only with posi-
tive, absolute merit. The fact that
Hoods Sarsaparilla has stood its
ground against all competition, and its
sales have never wavered but have re-
manned steadily at the top, demon
strates, beyond any doubt, the intrin-
sic virtues of this medicine. The new
things have come and gone but Hoods
Sarsaparilla rests upon the solid foun-
dation of absolute merit and its power
to cure, and its sales continue to be
the largest In the world.

In discussing Bourke Cochran's
speech in New York Senator Butler
said:
81 think it is a good background for
Bryan's speech. 1t sets off what was
already beautiful and strong picture.
OF course, Bryan's speech was very
different from that at Chicago. The
Chicago speech was masterpiece OF
soul-stirring oratory. The speech he
delivered in Madison Square garden
was masterpiece OF convincing and
unanswerable logic, and Mr.. Cochran
did not come anywhere near answer
ing it. Each speech of Mr.. Bryan
was peculiarly fitted to the occasion,
and probably no man in America
could have done better on either occa-
sion.
"The enemy is already practically
whipped. The methods they are now
employing are methods of desperation.
The Republicans, under the lead of
Mark Hanna, realizing that they are
whipped on the financial question be-
fore the campaign begins, are striving
frantically TO switch the campaign TO
the tariff question. This is their on
ly hope. and a hopeless hope. Mr..
Hanna's gold Democratic allies also
realize that they are whipped on the
financial question, and with equal
desperation are trying to divide the
wage Garner and farmer in fact, all
wealth producers, whose interests are
Identical. !"

$3.50, 200, 900 in Our Favor.

A favorite lie used over and over
by some of our local politicians, is
the statement that under Democrat
ic administrations the balance of
trade is always against us OF in
other words our exports are always
greater than our imports. The Pitts
burg Dispatch which is certainly
good Republican authority gives the
figures for 1895. The two paragraphs
below are from its issue of Sunday,
August 23d.
What was the balance Of trade
with all foreign countries during the
last year? Was it in favor of the
United States?
East Liverpool, o. j. w. ii.
The most recent figures at hand
are for the year ending June 30,
1895. During that year the total
domestic exports were valued at
1906, 75l ,099; the imports, $776, 669-
219, or balance in favor of the
United States amounting to $780,
0Sl $50.

A very instructive object lesson,
for the voter, is found in the atti-
tude of the railroads in the present
campaign. When Bryan was mott
fled in New York very unsatisfacto-
ry rates were procured by the com
mittee in charge and at Erie after
the usual rates were given, they
were annulled and only very small
reduction of fare allowed. On the
other hand when Bourke Cochrane
spoke in Madison Square Garden
the railroads gave very liberal rates
and made great efforts to get good
crowd. Again, transportation is adj
vertised as being furnished to the
West Virginia Republican editors
from Wheeling to Canton in their
projected trip. Is it because Nc
Kinley stands for the poor man and
Bryan for the wealthy corporations,
that this done? Who most nearly
represents you? The protege 'of the
monopolists or the champion of
the common people?

How a Failure?

Mr.. Mckinley, in his letter of ac-
ceptance, persists in saying that the
Wilson tariff law is failure and
must be replaced with one construct
ed on the principle" of his bill Of
1890.
Wherein is it failure?
1t yields, considering the depress-
ed condition of trade, all the reve-
nue. that was expected from it. The
shortage comes from the nullifca-
ton of the income tax, which would
have produced $3O,0OO,000, while
last years deficiency was only $780,
100000. But with the big hole
knocked in it by taxdodging pluto
Gratis the law yielded in the bad
trade year just closed $160,000,000.
This is S29,00O,00O more than Me
Kinley's law produced in its last year,
and within $4,000 of that laws
yield in 1892.
As more revenue is necessary,
owing to the extravaganza of see
ond Billion-Dollar Republican Con
gress, new taxes should be levied on
wealth in some form to remedy the
inequalities of taxation and quiet in
some measure the just discomfort of
the people.
The Wilson law does not fail to
give all labor the protection it needs
The average rate of duty last year
was 4l.75. The average in 1884, un-
der the Republican commission tar
iff, was 4l.61-a trifle lower. The
World has shown that in the lead
ing industries the duties actually
exceed the total labor cost in the
articles protected" Here is an
even more striking example:
The monthly wages paid in ten
pot windowglass (16x24) furnace in
1891 were:
In the United States $2,24l
In Belgium ,5S4
The duty levied on the months
product of the Belgian furnace was
Under the Mckinley law s2,a37
Under the Wilson law 2,165
Here, it will be observed, the du-
ties collected on a months prodrct
of glass furnace largely exceed the
total wages paid in Belgium, and
under the Mckinley law exceeded
the total wages paid here.
A deficiency occasioned by Con
gressional extravaganza is no proof
of revenue laws failure. We will
back Republican Congress-or a
Democratic either, for that matter.

Listen to This.

During all of his (Presieent
Cleveland's) years at the head of the
government he was hishonoring one
of our precious metals, one of our
great products, discrediting silver
and enhancing the price of gold. He
endeavored even before his Inaugural
ton to office to stop the coinage of
silver dollars, and afterwards and to
the end of his administration per-
sistently used his power to that end.
He was determined to contract the
circulating medium and demonetize
one of the coins of commerce, limit
the volume of money among people,
make money scarce and therefore
dear. He would have increased the
value of everything else-money the
master, everything else it's servant
Oh, no; it wasn't Altgeld, or Till
man, or any anarchist, or Populist,
ncr even any Democrat who said
this. 1t was the nominee of the Re
publican National Convention held
at st. Louis, the Hon. William Nc
Kinley, Jr., of Ohio, who addressed
the above quoted words to the Ohio
Republican State League, in 1892,
in criticism of Mr. Cleveland poll
cy of upholding the single gold
standard by paying all our govern
ment paper in gold coin, even to the
silver certificates, which are specifi-
eally payable in silver, and issuing
bonds to get the gold to do it with.
This utterance of Mr.. Mckinley
created great enthusiasm in his Re
publican audience at the time of its
utterance.' He was applauded to the
echo.
Now, 10 and behold! Mckinley
and Cleveland are standing shoulder
to shoulder in advocacy of this
identical policy, which Mckinley so
eloquently condemned four years
ago!
No wonder it was thought advisa-
BILE by Mark Hanna not to allow Nc
Kinley to go on the stump this year.

than IL hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-

THE PREMIUM LIST
Thoroughly Revised and Largely In-
creased Over Previous Years.

Sixteen years experience in the
conduct of the West Virginia State
Fair and Exposition has thoroughly
convinced the management that a
large and well-arranged premium
list is one of the surest ways of en-,
surfing a full array of exhibits in ev-
cry department, to the correspond
ing satisfaction and benefit of the
public.
To make certain this result, the
Premium List has been completely
revised during the past year, many
new items being added and others
increased until the present publica-
ton is the largest in the gross ag-
gregate of money prizes and the best
as to distribution ever sent out by
the Association. The increase and
revision reaches every department,
but il especially noticeable in the
department of live stock and farm
products. In the cattle department
the list fairly bristles with prizes OF
$25, Sl5, S12, $40, and so on; the
sheep prizes run from So down, and
there are also liberal prizes for swine,
and many special prizes all through
the list. Poultry is especially well
taken care of, while in the depart
ment of grain, vegetables and fruit
the, premiums are far ahead of any
thing previously offered by the As
sociation.
This liberality on the part of the
Association will greatly stimulate
the exhibitors in all departments,
and the result will be tremendous
increase in the array of exhibits, to
the corresponding benefit of the
public. The increased aceommoda-
tons ensures an abundance of room
for all corners, however, and no ex-
hibitor will be turned away, as in
former years, for sheer lack of accom-
datione

Another Notable Convert,

NJ. 5. Holt, for many years editor of
the Weston Republican, and recog-
nized for years as one of the leading
Republicans of the State, has an
nounced that he will not support
Mckinley. McKinley's letter Of ae-
ceptance was more than he could
stand. DIR. Holt believes his party
to be wrong on the financial ques-
ton, and for that reason he will sup
port Bryan and Sewall. He also
says that he will not vote for Atkin-
son or Dovenor, as he regards them
both as rank gold bugs.

HANNA'S TOWN TAKEN.
Great Uprising Of the People.
1000 Silver Republicans in One
Club.
100, 900 Howling Democrats See Bryan
at Cleveland.

CLEVELAND. Aug. 3l.-The wei
come given William Jennings Bry-
an in Clevelad tonight was the
greatest he has received since he left
Chicago. One hundred thousand
people in city with a population of
less than 100000 struggled on the
streets to catch glimpse of him.
From Canton | 800 voters shout
ing for Bryan and free silver, ar
rived early in the afternoon.
Three great meetings listened to
Nominee Bryan, the first in the Cen
trail armory, where 10000 people
were packed; the second in Music
hall, which held $4,000 and after
ward he spoke to $4,000 from the
balcony of the Hollenden hotel, adj
dressing about $4,000 people in the
three speeches.
About the depot 10000 people
were wedged into the narrow street
awaiting the arrival Of the train. In
this crowd, ready to escort the Dem
ocratic standard bearer to the hotel,
was the contingent from the home
of Mckinley. When the train ar
rived a salute Of u guns was fired.
AN UPRISING OF THE PEOPLE.
1t looked like an uprising of the
people. Bands and marching cam
paign clubs were numerous about
the streets, and with thousands of
strangers within its gates the city
bore holiday aspect. Scores of
special trains brought out-of-town
clubs in during the afternoon from
points $50 miles away in Ohio and
Pennsylvania.
When Mr.. Bryan came down the
stage, he inspired tremendous
cheer, which continued for three
minutes,- with waving hats and
handkerchiefs, and was continued
ali the, time the temporary chairman
was trying to work in his speech.
1t was the greatest political dem
onstration ever seen in Cleveland,
surprising the visits of Blaine, Gar
'ltiO anu Nlthiuit1s
After the third speech at the hotel
the crowd refused TO leave and gath
cred in the rotunda of the hotel
They refused to go out. A brass
band outside, at the head of nearly
1000 silver Republicans carrying a
colossal dollar, labelled 16 to l, gave
the nominee a serenade. Inside, the
crowd was shouting for Bryan, and
Mckinley badges were strewn about
the floor.
The speech at the armory was
considered the best ever made in
Cleveland. The Republicans lined
up against bars, drowned their sor-
rows and admitted that the ''boy Or
ator from the Platte had risen to
the occasion. The crowd outside
continued to shout for Bryan until
after IL o'clock and refused to go
home. There has never been any
thing in Cleveland like it,
BIGGEST SINCE NEW YORK.
The armory audience was the
largest Mr. Bryan ever addressed in
doors, except the one in Madison
square garden The music hall crowd
was more than half as large, and
none left the hall.

Greatest in Our History.

The speaking canvass William j.
Bryan is making, with the American
people as an audience, indicates, from
the work and success of the first two
weeks, that it will be the most memo
rable in the history OF political cam
paigning in this country. Senator
Teller, of Colorado, seasoned and
able campaigner of 30 years expert
ence, says ''the history of the country
does not record a series of speeches
more apt and telling than those which
have been delivered by the free silver
candidate in his eastern tour This
is true. Many Democrats felt solicit
tude at the start how Mr.. Bryan
would wear. They have their answer.
He improves in methods and manner.
He makes the issue and adheres to it,
while Mckinley in his campaigning
from his door step attempts TO mix is
sues and guage their Importance, not
by what the people have decreed Is the
supreme issue, but by potpourri of
tariff-money-reciprocity that meets
the emergencies OF his candidacy. Mr..
Bryan's speeches have the happy fac
ulty and freshness and interest, al
though he confines himself TO the dis
cussion of one question, but it has
many phases, nearly all Of equal inter
est. Then he is talking to convince,
not to stir up strife or contention. He
