Morgantown Post to publish his

tributed a long lot Of deceptive
stun about the low price of potatoes
this year under the Democratic ad
mihistration, and compares prices
with some year under Harrison.
This kind of chaff catches no one
who thinks for them selves and
knows the law of supply and de.
mand regulates the whole matter.
and when potatoes are scarce and
the crop failure the price is high
or, and when they are plentiful and
everybody has them, You can hard

crop was immense and people in
this county raised them by the
hundreds of bushels, and there is
hardly anyone who has to buy
them. and nearly everyone wanting
to sell. 1t was such a good year
for them, that if you just put them
in the ground they produced a good
crop without working them or pay
ing any attention to them. Now.
this old fool at Marques takes
some year under Harrison when
they were not so plentiful and sold
-or fair price, and compares it
with this year Of Grover, 70 the
great discredit of the latter, whereas
he should give Grover credit for
such an immense potato crop as
