Government Protection f,
TVrnptSI


Events are transporting rapidly
these days. We are making mighty
progress--orr etrograding--in many
directions. On the very heels of
governmental efforts in many parts
of the country to suppress the
trusts as illegal comes the appeal
of one of the trust magnates to the
government itself for protection
against the assaults of the officers
of the law in the States-such, for
example, as Attorney General Mon
nett, of Ohio. President j. w.
Gates, of the American Steel and
Wire Company, in his testimony
before the Industrial Commission
actually made this plea for govern
mental protection for trusts! He
advocated a national corporation
law by which charters would be
granted by the United States. He
could see no reason, he said, why a
company chartered by New jersey
or West Virginia or Delaware
should be subject to attack in Illi-
nois, Nebraska, or Ohio, and the
only remedy he could see would be
to have them chartered by the gen.
eral government.
This is calculated to take away
the breath of the people who have
all along looked upon these COM
bines as in direct violation of the
antitrust laws not only of the
States but of the general govern
ment, itself. To these Mr.. Gates
appeal will appear much as the plea
of criminal for the protection of
the law against the law itself.
National charters for trusts would
be fine thing, indeed-for the
trustsl A national license to plum
der the people of the States in de-
fiance of State laws! There would
be Capitalization carried out pat.
It would be entirely in accord with
modern plutooratio development
Bulwark the trusts behind the nat
ional government! Reinforce them
by the bayonets of an Imperial
army! Quite in line with the new
Republican doctrine as practiced
by Hanna, Mckinley & Co.

MARTINsBRUG, w. VA, Nov. IS.
The Grand Lodge of Masons as
sembled at noon today and resolv-
ed itself into a lodge of sorrow in
recognition of the death of Past
Grand Master A. M, Evans, of
Jefferson county, which occurred
on October IS. Addresses were
delivered by Past Grand Masters
Howard and Myers, Grand Treas,
urer Hugh Sterling, the Grand
Secretary, Governor Atkinson,
Grand Chaplain r d. Roller and
others.
The main business of the Grand
Lodge was done by committees,
all of which reported tonight and
their reports we're duly discussed.
Most of the work done by them is
not considered public property.
The attendance at the Grand
Lodge was larger than at any pre-
vious session for many years, and
the growth of the craft in the State
was matter of remark among the
members. A hundred and eleven
of the one hundred and fifteen
lodges were represented, and nine
Past Grand Masters and thirty
three Past Masters of Lodges who
were not representatives were pres
ent.
The Grand Lodge decided to
participate in the celebration by
the fraternity at Mt. Vernon, on
December IA, of the one humid
redth anniversary of the death of
George Washington, and appro-
priated $500 towards the expenses.
Col. Robert White. of Wheeling, a
Past Grand Master, has been ap-
pointed Grand Marshal for the CO.
casion by the Grand Lodge of
Virginia, which has the celebra-
ton in charge. The West Virginia
Masons will attend in large num-
bers. The principal business to.

night was the election and installa-

follows:
Grand master, Neil Robinson, of
of Charleston; deputy grand mas.
ter, A. ID w. Striokler, of Phil

tiler, II. w. Bliss, of Wheeling.

mending the local Masons for their
courteous treatment. The next
meeting will be at Parkersburg.

"A Falsellood.

We have but little patience with
an editor who would basely and
cold bloodedly concoct falsehood,
to injure competitor, as did the
editor of the State Gazette, in his
Fridays issue, when he made the
charge that the Register black
mailed the Democratic candidates
and extorted from them money to
carry their names on the ticket
after nomination, and also charged
them fee for all editorial mention
and defense of them during cam
paign. The falsehood is the pro-
duction of a rank coward, whose
utterances ought not to be noticed
by decent journalists, but as the
matter is personal to ourself, and
likely to create false impression,
we are forced to notice the COM
temptible coward who penned it.
In the first place we want to say
that there is not word of truth in
his article.
In the second place we can truth
fully state that we have never, at
anytime, or under any circumstan-
ces, either as editor or delegate to
conventions, ever asked a man to
pay us cent for anything we did
for him in political way, except
when he made announcement in
the paper of his candidacy prior
to convention.
If there is a man who can truth
fully say we ever demanded of him
cent for our support of him in
the Register, we want him to say
80, over his own name. We never
did, and when the our who wrote
the editorial in the last Gazette
makes the charge, he simply lies.
Probably if we had done SO, we
might have been buying lots and
lands and building fine houses, as
we know a certain editor is doing.
Our readers will pardon us for
noticing this "fiend in human
shape" but we could not let his
falsehood go uncontradioted. We
take time to yell in tho ear of
the "rotten and decaying old Ga
zette," the depository of all the
filth and dirt of it's time, whose
days are numbered, and is soon to
be supplanted in the graoes of the
Republican party, by the Point
Pleasant Observer" that its lies
and falsehoods, do not hurt in the
least, and we only now rebuke it for
it's oowardly attack upon us, be.
cause to let it pass by unnoticed,
would have been an admission of
its charges.

1t has been but a few years since

1t has been but few years since
our Republican friends could talk
of nothing but the home market
and the importance of preserving
it for our homo manufacturers.
Now their talk is all of the foreign
market and to secure it they justify
territorial expansion, wars of con-
quest and subjugation and the
abandonment of our cherished and
time honored principles. We ven
ture to predict that if McKinley's
expansion policy shall be endorsed
by the people next year, it will be
but short time before the Repub-
lican party will be clamoring for
absolute free trade. There are

Republican platforms condemn
trusts. But have you noticed that
Republican speakers and news
papers never do? History repeats
itself. In 1896 the platforms de-
olared for bimetallism, by interna-
tional agreement it is true, but
still for bimetallism, and yet the
speakers and newspapers of the
party all through that campaign
openly defended the gold standard.

If farmers are any better oil
this year than last, those figures
show that it must be because ma
ture has given them larger yield,
and not because Mckinley has
given them moro of things they
need in exchange per bushel for
their wheat. The Democrat, in
the course of comment, pointed
ly puts it in this way:
If you are farmer you will find
that on Dot. ID, 1898, you could
buy 100 pounds of nails with 81
bushels of wheat Today, or just
one year later, it requires 81
bushels of wheat. Last year you
could buy 100 pounds of wire
fencing for 3 bushels of wheat,
Today you must bring 6 bushels
to get your 100 pounds of wire
fencing.
