Who Shall pay the Cent?

A bill of lading of all matter
shipped by express must have a
one cent revenue stamp affixed to
it which must be cancelled by the
express agent. You must also
leave one cent for each package
with the agent to pay for the
stamp. This condition may not
last long as several suits have
been brought to compel the ex-
press companies to pay for the
war stamp. One suit was decided
in favor Of the people but an ap-
peal was taken. There is no qaes-
ton as to what the final decision
should be, but law and justice are
not always the same.

Most of the local saloonkeepers who
have not applied for license will make
their applications Immediately. There
will be very few. if any. who will close
their business, owing to being compelled

matter will be very likely the granting Of
licenses also to Moundsville dealers. One
of the city officials of Moundsville was in
town yesterday and stated that all who
were selling now without license would
have to make application or shut up shop.
Although the town voted for temperance
recently, through peculiar political fus-
ion. yet the probability Is that within a
very short time Moundsville will have
open saloons.

M'KINLEY'S JELLYFISH POLICY

MKINLEY'S JELLYFISH POLICY.
Charleston Gazette.
1t is noteworthy that while all the
Republican organs and politicians, big
and small, go through the form OF de-
Tending the policy OF the Mckinley adj
ministTation, they are ready to throw
their caps in the air whenever an in
cident occurs that gives hope OF
change. Thus when the Maine was or
dered to Havana there was general
Republican acclaim over the eXpecta-
ton that our foreign policy was to
receive an injection of vigor. This
shows that the Republicans do not
really approve the present jellyish
policy of Mckinley, and are hoping
that he will change it. The Democrats
fully three years ago boldly repudiat-
ed Cleveland Cuban policy, and from
the beginning Of the rebellion the
Democrats in Congress have consist
emily advocated the recognition OF
belligerency or independence. And
there is no doubt that so per cent OF
the American people would approve
any policy on the part Of the govern
ment that would aid the Cuban patri-
OTIS to expeI the Spaniards from the
island.

This is the lattest-footed and rank
est admission we have heard yet that
the main article of faith in the wor-
shippers at the shrine of the British
gold standard is that only the creditor
has rights-that the debtor has none.
The contracts in the case of the United
States call for payment in coin, .
which may be gold or silver, but Nc
Kinlev saws that now this contract is
void and the people of the United
States must pay their enormous debt
in gold. in money that has doubled in
value and is now twice as hard to get
as it used to be, because one of their
chief money metals was demonetized
by a criminal trick in 1878!
In other words, the contract must be
abrogated in favor of the CREDITOR!
And the debtor must pay him double
the amount the debt was at the time
it was contracted.
Was ever there heard SO monstrous
an argument?

MONEY THE MASTER, EVERYTHING
ELSE THE SERVANT"
This was Mckinley in 1898! Less
than five years ago.
On what meat has Caesar Mckinley
been feeding since then, that he hath
grown greater than his time-honoreG
regard for the welfare of the Ameri-
can people?
The truth is, the President aban-
doned his convictions on this subject
a short while after he had shown his
inability as business man to conduct
his own affairs under the gold stand :
I'D and became bankrupt, when
tive millionaire politicians paid his
debts out of their own plethoric purses
giving it out that the payment was
by popular subscription, due to love
Of McKinley-and then proceeded to
exploit him for President.
From that day William Mckinley
lost his own convictions and became
+bo humble eorx,op+ of +ba ,,lutoorot ia
gold ring, which, when he was his own
man, he had so vigorously denounced
as the enemy of the welfare of the
American people.
He was elected President by the
money power alone and the money
power knew that it owned him. But
Mckinley wanted to break away from
his convictions, his silver views, easily
and gradually. So he shifted to inter-
national bimetallism, which he knew
could never be realized He talked it
up on all occasions and sent a com
mission abroad to further the idea. He
sent this body with great ostentatlon,
yet he did more to hinder the progress
of its labors than any one else. Sen
ator Wolcott, in a speech in the Senate
the other day, blamed the failure Of
the Commission on influences from
Washington, attacking Secretary Gage
personally. Of course, Mckinley Knew
what Gage was doing Gage is and
has been an outspoken British gold
standard man, but Mckinley, the eau
tious, declined to come out into the
open, and Gage was looked upon by
silver Republicans as the wicked
partner. But now Mckinley and Gage
have gotten together, or, more prop
erly, Mckinley has gotten to Gage.
The Plutccrats would stand no half
way measures. Neither would the
friends of the honest bimetallic money
of the Constitution, whether they were
Democrats or Republicans
Weak Mckinley had come to the
parting of the ways. He must choose
between the people and the Plutocrats.
To McKinley's weak nature the Plu
tocrats looked strong-for hadn't they
elected him President against the pop
ular " i'll? Did they not control Con
gress? And the people looked weak to
him. Hadn't they failed in the last
election against the powers of Pluto
crazy? 1t was an easy choice-for a
weak man.
So, President Mckinley stultified
himself and made his flatfooted decla-
ration for the British gold standard in
solemn and impressive speech before
the National Manufacturers Associa-
ton gathered around the festal board
of the palatial WaldOrf-Astoria in the
metropolis Of his country.
What a spectacle for the American
people!

New England cotton mill strike, as eX-
pressed in a Jacksonville, Fla, dis
patch to the New York World:
Thinking men here are asking. Is the
competition of southern mills seriously
felt by the New England manufacturers
and are the natural conditions such that
the seat of the cotton industry is likely
during the next quarter of a century to
be transferred to the south?
To the first question a large number OF
the New England manufacturers have
already replied in the affirmative, and
based upon that affirmation their cut IN
wages This declaration is gratifying to
the manufacturing pride of the New
South yet the south does not believe 1t.
The cotton growers and manufacturers
of these States are perhaps the best
Judges as to the extent of the manufact-
uring operations in the south and south
eastern States and their influence upon
the markets of the world. and consequent
" the operations of the New England
manufacturers and public opinion here
is condensed into the conviction that the
New England manufacturers are simply
putting up this argument as big bluff
to enable them to show shadow of ex-
cuse for cutting wages and increasing
profits.
