o'clock a. m. with the milk product,

1t was glorious autumn day in the
far West. The sun in its majestic
splendor had encircled the heavens
and was softly dropping into the well
coming arms of Morpheus. The tinkling
of the bells could be heard on the hill
sides as the herds iazily turned their
heads homewarl. The soft breezes
gently rustled the leaves on the trees
as though singing it's lullaby to the
twittering birds in the overhanglng
boughs. All nature seemed hushed
and at repose, and peace spread her
soft mantle over the universe. A soll-
tary horseman, heavily armed and
mounted on foam faxed steed, was
seen 10 dash from the forest that skirt
ed the valley and resolutely turning
his face toward the west struck the
trail that lead to the mountain peaks.
On and on he rushed, over huge boul-
ders, around steep precipices that
overhung deep and yawning abysses,
the steel shod hoofs of his mighty
charger laundering over the Ainty
rocks, shooting forth flashes of fire
that seemed to mark the course of d
demon. On and on he dashed in his
mad ride among the clouds. until he
mounted the summit OF the highest
peak, where with his figure distinct.
ly outlised against the deep red of the
setting SUI, he was seen to lean for.
ward and shading his brow with his
hand, gaze long and easnestly to&ard

one thousand people assembled at the
Opera House to see the Prince Of
Comedians, Alba Haywood, and his
Peerless Company. 1t is hoped the
same thing will happen here wher
this this company appears on the eve
ming of May 24, Monday eve.

the nominal duty II cents really only
cents in practice. This conclusion is
| justified by letter Of Manger & Avery,
wool experts, July "a, 1893, which will
| be found in the House Tariff Hearings
January 6, 1897, page 1875, also in
Senator Mantle's great speech on the
wool tariff in the Senate"
"Then you think the wool tariff is
not sufficiently protective?" was asked.
II know it is not" replied Judge
Lawrence. II have never seen one
wool grower who understood the sub
ject that regarded it as either fair, or
just, or sufficient"
Until the focks of Australian and
South America" continued Judge Law
renee. depleted by the drought, and
our flocks depleted by the free wool
act of 1894 shall be brought up to the
original number, the price Of wool will
be increased over free wool prices, and
the little tariff we have will help us.
The Lord seems to have afflicted Aus
tralia and South America with drought,
as kind Of punishment for their
conspiracy to ruin the wool growers
of the United States"
'And then what? When the worlds
ficckS shall have been replenished what
will be the effect upon the prices, and
what the political effect?" was asked.
GAS TO PRICES"
Judge Lawrence replied, "the worlds
prices will go down and down. This
has been repeatedly stated by Theodore
Justice. The effect of a tariff is al
ways to reduce the foreign price, in or
der that it may get into our markets.
II is thus that under protective tariff
the foreign producer pays a good share
Of the tariff. And / am always re-
joiced to see the foreigners contribute
to our national revenues"
"But what of the protective effect,
them"
"There were certainly five wool
growing States in which Free Silver
Republicans voted for Mckinley and
saved his election. They wanted Nc
Kinley and the most ample protection
for wool more than they wanted free
silver with Bryan and free wool. You
can see the election statistics as evil
dence of this in Senate Document No. |
II, Fifty-fourth Congress. second ses-
sion, December IA, 1896, Chapter 8.
believe that the Republicans will carry |
the election in most of the States, in
Guiding Ohio, in November of this year |
and next year After that, unless the |
wool tariff shall be improved, do not |
see how we can hold those five States"
"Then you do not regard the new !
wool tariff as good as the former wool
tariff"
This is what Judge Lawrence said
in reply: at never does any good to
deny the truth or to state an untruth.
I will not do either. When the worlds
flocks shall be replenished, and in view
Of the conditions then to exist, and the
great decline in the worlds prices
since the act Of 1867 and the act of
1853. and since the Mckinley act Of
1890, I must say the new tariff act of
AUGUST "a, 1890. I must say the new
tariff act of August "a, 1897, will be
less protective and more ruinous to the
American wool industry than any wool
tariff we ever had The wool growers
are cheated in the new tariff. The
pledge Of the most ample protection
Tor wool has not been fulfilled"

One OF West virGinia's Leading Coll Oper-
ators. Discusses the Strike -Its Causes
and Possible Effects-A Logical resenta
tIon.
To the Editor of the Register
READ the papers OF the State and find
the burden Of their tale Of woe Is
sympathy for the miners of Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio. You said some days
ago. in an editorial, that every one
with q human heart must wish the
Pennsylvania and Ohio labor leaders
success in their effort to stop work in
West Virginia.
Let us examine the situation. West
Virginia is the latest development in
coal. We entered the markets with
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio as deadly enc
mics. Every ton of business and every
hours employment for miners in TINS
State has been obtained by main force
against the combined opposition OF
the operators and miners Of Pennsyl-'
yania and Ohio. They have demanded
and obtained The following lake rates
! for years past: From Pittsburg 9Oc.
| from Ohio S5c, from West Virginia
! S1.O5. They damned West Virginia
! coal I'D hill and down and resorted to
| every known means of retarding the
output from this State. 1t is natural
| that they should, because there Is mar
ket in the whole United States for only
one-fourth OF the capacity OF its
! mines now in existence. Look at the
| situation to-day. Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois are doing no coal
business. West Virginia practically
alone is supplying the market and
prices are normal and falling.
Suppose West Virginia miners or
ganize and put themselves under the
! supreme control of Mr.. Ratchford, OF
Ohio. thereby turning the business of
| West Virginia over to the control OF
their natural enemies, Pennsylvania
and Ohio, what will they get? They
will get the privilege Of giving up some
Of the work they now have to the min
ers of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Let us suppose again that the eff
forts of Pennsylvania and Ohio have
succeeded and the strike is won. The
demand being only one-fourth OF the
available output, who is to have the
business? Why, only those who can
get it. The fight for 1t will not abate;
the struggle for business will be just
as hard. in two weeks time present
conditions would recur, and If West
Virginia miners aid in winning the
strike they have simply given their
natural enemies a club to destroy them
with.
We all have sympathy for the un'
fortunate condition Of the miners o.
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio, but when thu
miners of West Virginia put them
selves in the same miserable plight
,, without lettering our neighbors across
! the borders. then indeed will theii
GRAINS be petrified and their carcassei
fit only for fertilizer" as Mr.. Debs re
Gently told them.
The sympathy speeches Of Mr.
Ratchford and his assistants work III
the women and children, but il is tn
cold light of common sense tina
makes 1t difficult for the strike Il
!, make Roadway in West Virginia
l Neither the uniformity plan nor III
strike. if won. will bring any relief
and finding a market for the surplu
r coal in foreign countries can alon
:. solve the problem.
