Mr. EDITOR In orr former let
ters we have given the facts. the
law, and our views based upon
those facts and the law, as regards
the amount of the debt; and how
and where the 1886 levy is an offset
to the debt. We suppose the Ga
zette has given us, upon these mat
ters .gFhe best ticks in the shop.
Therefore, we are willing that the
people may have the matter as it
has been presented, and pass judg-
ment on who has given San errone-
Gus impression" regarding the
debt. It is as follows: State Ga
zette of July 9Th; Daily Register
July 18th and Weekly Register
following; Gazette July Goth; Dali
Iy Register July 9th and Weekly
Register following; State Gazette
July Both; Daily Register August
18th and Weekly Register follow
ing; State Gazette August 18th.
Mr.. Editor, we are not trying to
advertise you or the Gazette either,
but we have no objection if both
sell more papers. To get correct
view of the points at discussion
and the arguments pro and con in
relation thereto, one ought toread
the letters upon both sides. It is
q public matter, and matter that
every citizen in the county
should know. It is not one up
on which people should shut their
eyes, because some who care little
to be trusted, when self the waver-
ing balance shakes" say be still.
Mr.. Editor, weIthank you for the
space you have given us in your
papers upon this discussion.

A ConductOr,s ADVICE.

s'Let me give you a pointer" said NJ.
F. Gregg, a popular conductor on the
Missouri Pacific Railroad. .sDo you
know that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy cures you when
you have the stomach ache? Well =
does" And after giving this friendly
bit of advice the jolly conductor passed
on down the isle. 1t is a fact that
thousands of railroad and travelling

A SPOHSNIEN's SCHEME.
West virginia White Deputies
May Be Sent to Georgia.

West Virginia White Deputies
May Be Sent to Georgia.
The refusal of white deputies to
serve under barber Rucker, McKin-
ley's colored collector of internal
revenue in Georgia, has been turn
ed to account by Republican spoils-
men. While the civil service rules
prevent removals for political reas-
ons they permit the transfer of
deputies from one district to anoth-
er when vacancies occur, and it has
been suggested to the Republican
leaders that a good way to get rid
of the Democrats in the revenue
service is to have them transferred
to Georgia. 1t is reported that
Collector White, of this district,
will ask to have some of his depu-
ties transferred to Georgia, where
of course they will not serve.

Bleeding the People.

1t used to be thought necessary
when anyone got sick to bleed
the sufferer as a preliminary to the
restoration of health. We now
know that this was a delusion
and a mistake. But there are
thousands of credulous persons
who think that the passage of a
law increasing federal taxation and
bleeding the pockets of the people
will cure the business sickness
which afflicts the country. In due
season this delusion will also pass
away. But the good time will
never come if the schemers who
profit by popular superstition can
prevent it. The foreign demaud
for our grain, the new discoveries
of gold, the abundance of our har-
vests and the general growth of
confidence in the ability of the
government to maintain its credit
and pay its debts have filed the
hearts of the people with hope.
But those who are making unearn-
ed millions of dollars out of the
changes in our taxes point to the
newly smoking chimneys and cry:
"Great is the tariff! Watch the
motion of it's wingsl" And then
they go off into corners and hug
themselves; and, perhaps make
subscriptions to the Republican
campaign fund.-Philadelphia
Record.
Because the Good Lord has
blessed this country with a SPLEEN
did wheat crop and the farmer is
receiving a good price therefor, be-
cause that crop is a failure in
Europe, our Republican friends
are yelling themselves hoarse in
their frantic attempts to make the
people believe that this is one of the
blessings showered upon us be-
cause Mckinley was elected. No
one will be mislead. The q. o. P.
has already too long presumed up.
on the intelligence of the voters of
this country.
They say that VIM. J. Bryan is
going to stump Ohio this fall for
free silver and free people. Hanna
& Co. are badly scared. Wonder
if they can't find a judge over
there who will issue an injunction
to keep him off of Hanna's reser-
yes! IF they don't, Mr.. Hanna is
likely to lose what he considers a
vested right.

AS to Injunctions.

This injunction business may run
in the ground. Public speakers
are denouncing it, the newspapers
are making fun of it, and the peo-
pie are getting tired of it. The
end of the whole business may be
a loss of respect for the courts and
that will not be well. Thursdays
issue of the Chicago Record, one
of the ablest newspapers of the
West, and one of the most widely
read, touched upon the marrow of
the thing in a front page cartoon,
in which one Judge was pictured
as enjoining workingman from
wishing he had better pay, and
another from thinking that gov
eminent by injunction is wrong.
Other papers are referring to
Judges who have granted ex parte
injunctions, in a fippant manner
as Injunction So-and-So," and
along with a considerable popular
transformation and mis-statement,
there is much of indignation and
abuse and discomfort. The peo-
pie who are applying for injunc-
tions off-hand- and getting them
for purely selfish purposes, are
sowing a crop which may come up
to plague them Wheeling Regis

Toledo.


We spent week out in the lake
city, of Toledo, Ohio, returning
home Saturday evening. Toledo
is a hustling, busy city of about
125, 600 people, and is the only
town along the line of the T. & o.
g. Railway that shows any evil
dences of prosperity, and business
could be much better. there. But
as summer resort it is not sur
passed in this country, and its
cool lake breezes is refreshing to
one from this warm country Mag
nifcent lake steamers go to every
point and to every island, and the
prices for passage are extremely
low. We awaited ourself of the
opportunities afforded and ventured
out on the lake to Put-in-Bay and
other points of interest. But after
all we concluded that there is no
better place than Point Pleasant,
and would prefer to spend the
remainder of our days here in
preference to any of the towns
visited on our brief trip. During
our stay in the city of Toledo we
had special attention shown us by
Mr.. Chas. Rich johnson. and fol
his many courtesies, we extend
him our thanks in this way.

RepubIican IdiOcy.

Manufactured articles now con-
stitute over % per cent of the total
exports from the United States.
1t is not unlikely that within a
period of ten or fifteen years half
of the exports will be the products
of manufactures, for it has been
demonstrated that the facilities for
making goods of nearly every sort
in this country can be increased
much faster than the home con-
sumption of them can grow. In
the light of these facts could any
thing be more absurd than the
enactment of a law by Congress
which places tax on much of the
raw material used by American
manufacturers kansas City Star.
This calls renewed attention to
the Dingley tariff monstrosity.
Alleged to be measure for the
benefit of the masses of the people.
it is in reality a measure in res
traint of trade, measure calculated
to handicap our rapidly growing
foreign commerce, and measure
taxing the masses of the people for
the benefit of the few. And this
is expected to bring prosperity. If
prosperity comes to us it will be in
spite of the Dingley bill. and not
because of it. It will be case of

publican party on the other

Judge Van Meter, of Ross coun-
ty, had some superior wheat which
was wanted for seeding, and which
he sold above the ''going price. -
He says that for twenty years the
price of wheat and the marketval-
ne of silver remained substantially
on a par, but that a shortage of
23O.OOO,oOO bushels in Europe has
led naturally to rise in the price
of wheat. 1t may be added that
the price of raw silver has been re-
duced because the gold and bond
operators who are running our gov
eminent have declared that only
gold shall be used as money of re-
demption, and that the govern
ment shall acquire no more silver
for money purposes. What had
the Mckinley Administration to
do with the rise in the price of
wheat? So far as it goes it is
merely a piece of luck to the Han
Mates. 1t represents no prudence,
honesty, foresight or craftsmanship
on their part. It represents misery
in foreign countries; and the Han
Mates are always at their best
when they are living on the dis
tress of the people at large.-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

Death of w. III. Hayman.

Mr.. w. 81. Hayman died at a.
m. Monday, at the home of his
son-in-law, Mr.. w. T. Barker, Mer-
GERS Bottom, of paralysis. He
was II years of age, and was a
prominent citizen of Mason coun-
ty. For a number of years he was
President of the County Court, and
discharged his duties faithfully
and well. without fear or favor.
He was very popular with all class
es of people, and always took a
deep interest in the affairs of his
county. His funeral will take
place to-day at II O'Clock at the
Brick Church.
This is the season when farmers
fill their barns with wheat and
then some of them carelessly neg

sometimes, of losing it all by fire.
We would remind our friends that
it is scarcely safe to go over one
night without insurance.

OF all Republican politicians,
Senator Chandler is the keenest.
He has more foresight than all the
other politicians combined. He
does not chatter poppy-cock with
the cuckoo gold birds about the
spasmodic rise in the price of
wheat on account of famine abroad,
while silver is lowering in price
because silver standard countries
have no export this year. Chan
der predicts continual falling
prices as long as silver is demone-
tized. He realizes that the Repub-
ican party is doomed unless fall
ing prices are stopped, which can
only be done by increasing the
volume of money.
