The directors of the Washington, West

The Martinsburg Improvement Loan and

for the benefit OF the creditors. The liabili

$4,000 is due stockholders, including all

EXAMINE Your CHIMNEYs,-Look after
the condition of your chmneys and fues
before starting winter fires Through the
attic and the roof and above the roof, chin
nrys very frequently show cracks caused by
the mortar wearing away. A little atten
ton and work may save fire, and this is the
time to give it. Insurance policies generally
call for brick chimneys in good condition;
therefore, if neglect in this particular can be
proven against the property owner, the
chances are that he could not recover loss
by fire under such policy.
SEE THE PoINT?-The late Horace Greedy,
who was not only philosopher, but level
headed practical man of business in an adj
dress in new ambitious town on How to
Help Your Town." among other things
dropped the following bits of wisdom:
Order your dry goods from New York.
Buy of peddlers as often and as much as
possible, Contribute what news you have
TO any but your home papers.
Glory in the downfall of some man who
has done much to build up the town.
fla stranger comes to town tell him every
thing is overdone and predict general
crash of the town in the near future.
Patronize outside papers TO the exclusion
of your own, and then denounce them fol
not being as large and as cheap as city pa
pers.
Attend tue service of some minister who
Ewes in bigger town, and las bigger sal
aay, and let the home preacher live on saw
dust and fine needles. It's fashionable, yot
know.
II you are merchant, don't advertise il
home paper s. but buy rubber stamp ant
use that; it may save a few dimes and make
the paper look like it was published by
amateurs in one.horse town.
If you are farmer, curse the town where
live the meanest people on earth. MAKE
them believe that the business men are al
thieves-it will make your property more
valuable.
The above course will help your town
10 die.

A LUMBERMAN,s sopBIsMs.

The Mississippi Valley Lumberman
always delights us with the childlike
blandness with which it discusses the
proposition to increase the prosperity
of its especial constituency by permit
ting it to exact a higher price for Ium-
Der than that which competition would
allow, proposition to which the ma
jority of the users of the lumber are
inescapably consigned. 1t recently
spoke with ELUSIVE praise of the mock
heroics of a country paper which had
refused the advertisement of a lumber
manufacturing concern because 1t be-
lieved in standing by the local retail
dealers. The Lumberman refers to the
proposed advertiser as a ''piraticaP
concern, although it is clear that it does
not intend to pursue any of the known
methods of that extinct occupation by
taking something for nothing. AS far
as appears it merely proposed to sell
price than they could get it of the
combination that rejoices in the sound
ing title of the Northwestern Lumber
mems association. 1t will be a very
hard task to find anything piratical in
that; harder than it would be to find
something of the piratical instinct in
the actions of that association and of
the protection accorded it by congress-
Again it attempts to answer a Wis
consin paper that had noted that, al
though lumbermen were rapidly ad-
vancing prices. they had not been
equally prompt in advancing wages. It
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-01


financial schemes that will not have
the virtues of efficacy or honesty. The
general feeling is that congress is a
disturber and little else. 1t is a sub
ject on which the American people,
who are attached to their institutions
and believe in their system of govern
ment, may well ponder. We need a
tremendous reform in the methods Of
selecting candidates for congress, and
a change in the Persqnal qualifications
that are required for such service.
Above and below all the other prob
lens that confront JUS stretches this
unreasonable one, the greatest and
most difficult of them all.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-11-01

| cannot be expected, apologetically re-
| plies the Lumberman, that manufac-
| turers would advance wages right off,
after the three years Of hard shedding
they have experienced. And why not?
What did they ask the 81 tax for, if
it was not that they could raise wages
What was their sole pretense for their
demand but that? And why not adj
vance wages simultaneously with pri-
| ces? Was not the lumber whose price
was advanced made by men whose
wages had been reduced? By not ad-
vancing wages are these men not TAX
ing something from their men that is
rightfully theirs? VIII not the ad-
vance attach to the lumber yet to be
cut by men whose wages were to be
advanced when the price could be adj
yanced? Is there not something of the
method of the pirate in this getting
legal authority to advance prices in
order to advance wages and then re-
fusing to do the latter, while doing the
former?
But, says the Lumberman, wages
have advanced in some places, without
specifying them. Grant it, and the
why follows, to be completely and suf-
ficiently answered by the Lumberman
itself, which says: when men are
scarce wages are bound to advance,
and that is the situation this fall"
Certainly; and when men are plenty
wages are bound to fall, and it makes
no difference with either the rise or fall
whether imports of lumber are taxed or
untaxed. Lumber makers are all free
traders when it comes to buying labor;
always have been and always will be.
The Lumberman states in a different
way the Old immutable law which has
been stated tersely in the observation
that when two men are after one job
wages are low; when two jobs are af-
ter one man wages are high" But
If wages are dependent upon the sup
ply of labor, what becomes of the as
sertion that a tax of 81 was essential
in order to increase wages? 1t is not
usual for the advocates of that bubble
policy to prick it quite as candidly as
the Lumberman has done.

MARKET MEN MET.
Talked of Proposed Sites and Had Il
Feust

The market gardeners and farmers
doing business in this city met last Sat
urday evening for a social session at
which the proposed removal of the
market was talked over Market Mas
ter Duffy called the assemblage to
order and introduced John Gamer as
president. Mayor Doran. being called
on, spoke of the Importance Of provid-
ing proper market facilities. and ex-
pressed the belief that such meetings as
the one then in progress would be Of
valuable assistance in solving the prob
lem.
Chairman Craig, Of the assembly
committee on public buildings and
markets, said that the council would
take up the subject this winter, and he
believed that a good market would be
the result.
Gust Ebert market gardener said
he had been doing business on the pub
lie market of st. Paul fifteen years.
but had recently changed to Mime
apolis because the facilities there were
better than here. If St Paul would
provide a market like either of the
three in Minneapolis there would be
TO complaint. But when vegetables
had to be left out in the sun on an
open street, they wilted in a few hours
and We're spoiled.
Peter McKinnOn, another gardener.
opposed the open street market es-
pecially OH Third street, which is so
narrow. The market should be on a
square off the street where sheds could
be provided
Assemblyman Thompson said the in
terests of commission men and garden
ers should alike be consulted in deter
mining the location Of the new market.
The farmers had saved Third street:
they should force the council to provide
q proper market Aid. Kenny suggest
ed Smith park as the proper location
for the market. Taking Third and
Minnesota streets as the center of the
commission trade, he said it was no
farther from Smith park than from the
center Of the proposed new market on
upper Third street
F,X-Market Master WhccIOck wanted
a market on Broadway
Other speakers We're Aid. Bell
and Shepard, c. p. Slime and Assem-
blyman Dix.
A petition favoring the Smith park
market was circulated and numerously
signed.
The suggestion has been made that
the new market be established on the
Hill streets and the railroad right of
way west Of Market street.
Among those who favor the maiHte-
nance Of the market for garden truck
in it's present locality without disturb
ance until some permanent place can
be established are Presley & Co., A.
