NO TARIFF CHANGES LIKELY.

Those high tariff howlers who seem
TO think the election of Mckinley would
have instant effect in boosting up the
tariff should reflect that there is by no
means any certainty that there will be
any changes at all Supposing a Re
publican Congress is again elected, the
free silver men may quite possibly
stand in the way of tariff legislation.
They have done so before. 1t is con-
.ceded that there are enough of them in
the United States Senate to prevent
duties being changed in Congress until
something is done for silver. Their
disposition in this way will not be les
sened if a President supposed to lean
toward them. as does Mckinley, is
elected. and there is room for acces-
sions TO their numbers which may make
up enough of their possible losses from
the next election TO enable them still
10 retain their power to obstruct legis-
lation. And wherever the Mckinley
managers can capture a vote by doing
so they are assiduously cultivating the
silver men.
The tariff is McKinley's war cry, but
the Mckinley politicians are not caring
much about policies of government or
anything else. but getting there"

THE INTERNATIONAL SITUATION.
West Virginia Oil Review.

West Virginia Oil Review.
There is a vast and rapidly increasing
sentiment throughout the State in favor
OF C. C. Watts for Governor.
He is looked upon as the man for the
occasion.
This feeling exists, and is growing
among the people as distinguished from
a few politicians who still cling tena
ciously to the old idea that they must
dictate the nominee or have him go I'M
named.
The select few are inclined to raise
the objection to Watts that he has held
office The fact is undisputed, but every
office held by him bears witness TO the
political wisdom and shrewdness Of the
man, and conclusively attests the ele-
ments of success in him, and this year
we are looking for winner.
Democrats should go slow before crit
icising the very characteristics for
which they are now searching with the
strongest search-light Of modern polit-
ical invention.
Judge Bennett, we are informed, will
be a candidate for denomination for
Judge in this district, and the public is
left to conclude that he will not De
candidate before the State Convention
for Governor. Many have been forced
to this conclusion with regret, but since
it has become known that c. c. Watts
is an avowed candidate, the wisdom of
Judge Bennett in avoiding the posi-
bilties of close and bitter contest for
the nomination, meets with the APP
proval of most of his friends.
Forrest w. Brown who was spoken of
earlier in the discussion, we learn is not
a candidate.
Clarence l.. Smiths boom was launch
ed with good deal of eclat, and he has
a great many warm friends throughout
the State, but his boom was somewhat
prejudiced by those who stood sponsors
at its christening, and it has not had a
healthy growth.
OF all those named there is but one
man whom George Wesley fears, and
that is c. c. Watts. AS stump speak
er Watts is far superior to Atkinson.
and the opinion is growing among the
people that he alone can spread abroad
the animating spirit of Democracy and
arouse the old-time enthusiasm among
the masses.

price at which potatoes have been SELL
ing in this part. of the country, how
ever, we are thinking they would make
pretty dear fuel.
The annual potato crop of the United
States amounts TO about 3OO,OO0,OO0
bushels. valued by the Agricultural De-
partment at 79,OO0, 900, or little more
than % cents a bushel. During the
twelve months ended December 81, 1895,
the imports of potatoes amounted to
1.O4S,970 bushels, valued at $685.
against an importation of 2,S7O,321
bushels, of the value of s1,205, 406, in
the preceding year. So it appears that
the importation of potatoes in the first
year of the Wilson tariff was not half
so great as was the importation during
the last year of the Mckinley act. Ac-
cording to the Mckinley methed OF rea-
soning. this fact indicates that so far
as potatoes are concerned the present
tariff is less harmful TO the farmers
than was it's Mckinley antecedent.
Except in seasons of crop failures
most of the imports of potatoes come
from the Bermudas; and these potatoes
would be consumed by such as could
afford it whether the duty should be 20
or Is cents a bushel. But the potatoes
that come from Bermuda to the tables
of the rich in the carly spring do not
compete with the new potatoes of this
part of the country, which are not then
planted. In seasons of scarcity, when
crops have rotted in the ground, it las
been necessary TO import potatoes from
Germany, Scotland and Canada. Then
many farmers who had NOT enough po-
tatoes for seed, much less 70 feed their
families. were obliged 70 pay the Me-
Kinley tax of % cents bushel. Whca
the home supplies of potatoes are album
dant, as at present, few are imported,
and the Mckinley protective duty Is
dead letter.
Some farmers may be fooled by this
small potato argument o: The high tariff
calamity preachers, but we have :oc
much respect for the intelligence of the
farmers as a class to believe that The
number taken in viii be large.

SMALL POTATO POLITICS.

The high tariff calamity organs are
publishing a paragraph TO the effect
yhat potatoes had become so cheap in
some parts of the country ION account
Of the wicked Democratic tariff" that
the farmers were burning them for fuel
instead OF feeding them TO their live
stock. OF course. il is all blamed on
the Wilson bill. In this instance the
Wilson bill must be credited with
making the potato crop of the American
farmer so plentiful that he couldn't sell
and had 10 burn his surplus. At the
