The stamp TAX.

Numerous inquiries have been
made about the provision in the
new tariff law relating to thestamp
duties. 1t is similar to the stamp
duty law enforced during the war
and for short time afterwards,
which many remember. The new
law imposes a tax of five cents per
500 on each issue or reissue after
September 10 ofbonds, debentures
OF certificates of indebtedness or
stocks, "on all transferers of shares
or certificates of stock in any as
ISOLATION, company or corporation,
ON each hundred dollars of face
value, or fraction thereof, two
cents"
The enforcing section isasfol-

Special to Register.
CHARLEsroN, July 16. Today,
just above Cedar Grove, on the K.
& M. Railway, No. 20. passenger
known as the Gauley accommoda-
ton, had a head-on collision with
au extra freight train coming north
from Gauley. The freight was
rounding curve at the time and
both trains were going at good
speed. The engineers put on the
air-brakes and reversed their en-
gines, and the crews jumped from
the trains. Only one person was
injured, and he was man named
Lucas, and pumper at Gauley
Bridge. The passenger engine was
badly wrecked, and many of the
freight cars badly damaged, and the
freight engine also damaged The
freight engine was one of the larg-
est ON the road, and had been
brought here from the north end to
haul coal. The passengers on the
accommodation were badly scared
and greatly shaken up.

nIiners Strike.

The strike of thecoal miners in
six states becoming more serious.
The number of strikers is gradual.
ly increasing and fears are enter
tanned of a collision Whenever the
mine owners undertake to move
the product already mined toward
the market There are apprehen-
sions expressed that the strike will
diminish the chances of Republi-
can euccessin Ohio this year, and
it is not unlikely that they will be
realized.
lit is very easy to see why the
Republicans fear to strike. 1t is
because it riyits public attention
upon the sham of protection as
beneficial to labor. The Republi-
can party has just completed a
highly protective tariff bill for
the8benefit of American working
men, The party press assures us
that sthe passage of a strongly
protective tariff bill by Congress
will bring joy beyond expressionto
millions of wage earners, who have
learned by bitter experience with
in the last four years what with
drawal of protection actually means
to them
But this ugly strike just at this
time forces the truth home to the
workingmen that SO far as their
wages are concerned, the restora-
ton of protection means no more
to them than the withdrawal of
protection.

The Trusts VS.. The People.
The fight in the tariff conference
has become fairly and equarely a
struggle between the servants Of
the trusts and the servants OF the
people on the conference commit
toe. There is not longer any room
for concealment, it is a battle of
the boodlers against the rights of
the people and from the astonish-
ing advance in Sugar Trust stock
in Wall street, out of which the
the Trust has made over $1,000, 900
in day or two, it seems to be the
general understanding in "the
street" that the Trust will win.
Since Dingley began his trust
fostering work the Sugar Trust
alone has cleared over $82,OOO,o00,
in the advance of the price of its
stock. The passage of the Ding
ley bill, particularly with the Sen
ate sugar amendment means many
millions of unearned profits to the
Trust. No wonder Keene predicts
the stock viii go to SITE.
Verify, the Republican party is
liberal in paying its campaign debts
to these unlawful combinations
which bought it's way to power ON
the condition that they should be
allowed to rob the people as they
pleased. Register.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The Re-
publican committee on committees Of
the senate today agreed unanimously
to accept, 50 far as 1t is empowered to
do so, the proposition made by the
Democrats for the organization of the
senate committees. Accordingly, a eau
Gus will be held at 10 o'clock Monday
morning.
The proposition, which the committee
has agreed TO accept, provides that
the Republicans shall fill all the COM
mittee places which were filed by Re
publican senators during the last con-
gress, including the chairmanships va
Gated by Republicans, and that they
shall be given one additional place on
the appropriations committee vacated
by a Democrat, and that the men,
bership Of the committee on pOstOffic-
es and post roads shall be increased
from nine to ten in order to give the
Democrats an additional place on that
committee. This arrangement will re-
suit in leaving the Republican SEN
ators at the head Of all the important
senate committees, but a majority of
the membership of many Of them will
be anti Republican.
There are indications that the COM
mittee's recommendation will not be
received with favor by the RepubIi-
can senators.
