IT SEEMS to be the sentiment
Of the people, so faras the TELE-
GRAM is able to learn. that an
extra session of the Legislature
is not desirable. 1t requires two
thirds of the entire membership
to propose amendments to the
Constitution, and it is hardly pos
sible that the necessary two
thirds can be obtained. The peo-
pie are opposed to the great ex-
pense of assembling the Legisla-
ture on such avagne uncertainty.
We do not believe that Governor
Atkinson will thiak of dong such
thing.

FRIDAY, May q, 1897.

AS IT now stands Harrison
county belongs to the second
judicial circuit, comprising Har-
rison. Marion and Monongalia
counties. The constitutional COM
mittee now proposes to place
Harrison county in the 18th ju-
dicial circuit to be composed Of
Harrison, Taylor and Preston.
This proposed measure will be
decidedly Objectionable to the
bar of Harrison county and to
the public in general.

SOME very strong language
has been used by some people in
their discussions of the merits of
the depot bridge question. Citi-
zens whose whole life has been
above reproach have been CEN
sured. 1t has been asserted that
Official power has been used to
further private enterprises. Such
accusations are uncalled for. and
there is not the slightest founda-
ton upon which they can rest. 1t
is to be regretted that people
whose station in life ostensibly
invests them with a badge of
honor, should stoop to SUCH dis
reputable acts.

ELSEWHERE a correspondent
calls attention to the fact that
the county levy in Harrison
county shows very reasonable
rate of taxation as compared
with other counties. We are
glad to note the fact that our peo-
pie have exhibited so much wis
dom in the selection of their
county commissioners. In '9S
our taxes for county purposes
were but % cents on the 500.
In no other county were they
lower while the average of the
counties of the State was above
60 cents on the hundred. The
rate of SO was higher. being 1911
cents but this shows that our
commissioners were still careful
and economical. The total
amount of taxes levied was prac-
tically the samoa as when the rate
was s5 cents on the 500, but the
fact that the value of personal
property IN Harrison county de,
clined over six hundred thous-
and dollars under the operation
of the Wilson law makes the
cause for a higher rate appar-
emit. We congratulate our coun-
ty court, past and present on
their good work for the people.

Interest OF Consumers.

At no time have the interests Of the
consumers been considered. They con
stitute the greater portion of those af-
fected by a tariff, but their welfare does
not enter into the delusive schemes OF
the protective tariff theory.-Easton,
Pa, Argus.
oh, yes; they have been considered!
Who are the consumers but our great
army Of workers? A protective tariff
is enacted in order that our masses
may have work, may earn wages. may
spend their money and may consume"
what they buy. Without the work
they cannot earn, they cannot spend
money. they cannot buy. and they
cannot A protective tariff
is designed to serve the best interests
Of the millions of our consumers"
Reporter and farmer. [volume] (Webster, Day County, Dakota [S.D.]) 188?-1946, 1897-07-29

Farmers depend upon q protective
tariff just as surely as does the pros
perity of every other American pro-
Queer. The remedy for agricultural de-
preston is an enlargement of the mar
ket foS agricultural products. In order
to secure a larger market for agricui-
tural products we must make the homo
market larger and increase the home
demand. The only way to do that is
by building up our manufactures. by In
creasing the number OF our industrial
plants. by giving employment to all
idle workingmen. by creating such q
demand for labor through the opening
up OF new Industries. that the increased
number of consumers will afford q mar
ket for all the farmers products. This
Is the best way to secure prosperity to
the farmers. and the enactment OF a
protective tarif law will benefit no
class of workers more than 1t will bene-
ft the farmers.

OF THE STRIKE
THE WILSON TARIFF BILL AT
THE BOTTOM OF 1T.
Wages Have Decreased Precisely the
Same Amount as Tariff Reduction
And stnl she Cleveland Administra-
tion Wante 1t Made Worse.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean: The
McLeans and calamity howlers In Ohio
who are ~chuckling over the coal strike
VIII do well to avoid all facts OF recent
history. We notice that President
Ratchford of the United Mine Workers
association, In a communication to the
New York Herald, dated June 8. says:
"A miners wages in the western Penn
sylvania field ranges from 81 to AZ
cents per ton in thin veined districts,
and from 30 to % cents per ton in the
t~hick-veined. In 1898 the mining rate
in thin-veined districts was 70 cents,
and In ~thick-veined 65 cents per ton.
During the same year the ate In Ohio
and Indiana was 20 and rs cents re-
spectively. Now it Is 81 cents, with
a reduction proposed in Ohio to As
cents per ton. This ratio holds good
In a general way all along the lines:
Illinois, a portion of Iowa. eastern and
central Pennsylvania, and the Virgin
las are all equally affected" These
figures point directly to the fact that
miners wages have fallen from 20 to
80 cents per ton since 1893, following
directly the Wilson tariff law, which
reduced the tariff on coal 35 cents per
ton. The humblest miner cannot mis-
take the fact that "the starvation
wages" were the result of Democratic
legislation, which not only struck a
blow direct in the face of the coal
workers, but added general prostration
In business. The free traders in coal,
such as Mr.. Wilson. Bryan & Co., will
have to meet and answer these suffer-
ing working thousands, and it will be
than they can do. The facts are
too plain and the history too recent to
give them any comfort.

Some European nations subsidize
their steamships; others subsidize
their ships from taxes. only taxing
their net earnings; others give a boun-
ty on imports on their own vessels:
others give a bounty on tonnage for

courage their shipping. Why may not

Possibly the work of strikers.

Buffalo, July 26.-An employe of the
Lake Shore boiler shops made n sensa-
tional discovery when cleaning the
ashes out of n pit where boiler plate
Is heated. In the bottom of the pit,
under two feet Of ashes, he found fif-
teen 50-caliDer cartridges, one $50
caliber cartridge nearly six inches
long and n bomb filed with dynamite
and powder. Fifteen men usually work
around the pit when it is in operation.
Had he not taken the precaution to
clean the ash pit a terrible explosion
would have occurred. By some il is
thought the explosives were placed in
the pit for the purpose of injuring the
men who took the places of the strik-
ing boilermakers recently.

Prosperity In Mississippi

For four long years everything has
been as dead and still as a door nail.
and nothing but patch work going on,
from the application OF the notorious
Cleveland badge to stopping leaks on
the housetops. But now, presto change.
as soon as the election Of Mckinley
and common sense was assured people
all over this country woke up and
went to work, and l don't have to 90
away from home to tell you that con-
fdence has come back to the hearts
and minds OF the people. There are at
this writing six new brick stores, none
less than 100 feet long, a large hotel,
under course of construction In Acker-
man, together with a fine brick and
iron courthouse. New residences and
improvements OF old ones visible on ev-
cry hand. OF a truth. there has been
more painting done in this town since
the 1895 presidential election than for
ten years last past. Everybody is ex-
pecting better times. and IL we can on

legislation we shall see a marvellous

The south for Protection.

The voting on the Dingley tariff bill
in both house and senate has brought
out some interesting and significant
facts, some Democrats and even a few
Populists have Joined with the Repub-
licans in support of a protective meas
ure. This evidences that the principle
OF protection has grown broader than
party lines. But the most significant
fact is that nearly all OF these non
Republican votes for protection came
from the south. The day was when In
making a forecast of election returns
the votes Of the solid south" were
assigned without discussion to the
party Of free trade. But that day has
gone never TO return. The solid
south" is broken and the break is
greater than that which is measured
by party lines. Not only has the party
whose watebword is protection more
southern members in congress than
ever before, except at the time i'm
mediately following the civil war, but
the number of their votes does not
measure even the whole strength OF
protection sentiment in the south. The
growth OF manufactures in the south
and the opening up Of southern resour-
ces is swinging the south surely and
not slowly into the protection column.
II is quite conceivable hat In the not
far distant future we will have again
a "solid south"-a south solid for the
American system of protection.
