Lightning-Rod Swindlers.

John M. Dinterman, farmer, iv-
ing near Walkersville, Nd, was in
Frederick Saturday, taking legal steps
to resist the payment OF a note for
5000 which he alleges was obtained by
two lightning-rod men under threats
of doing him harm. His counsel, DR..
Lloyd 7. McGill, Jr., upon investiga-
ton, found the paper had been offered
for discount at various banks, where
it had been rejected, but says it was
finally bought by local banking firm.
1t is said this investigation developed
that number Of notes are in exist
ence given by farmers who doubtless
thought they were merely signing
contracts for various things. Mr.. Din
terman said:
"On Monday last two men came to
my place and wanted to fit the house
and barn with lightning-rods, and Of
fered to properly equip the place for
SIS. 1 objected, whereupon they re-
duced the price to $50, and finding I
would not have it done at this figure,
they said that, inasmuch as was Gen.
trally located in a good neighborhood,
they would fit out the buildings as an
advertisement, giving 90 feet Of rod
and taking out their labor in board,
which was about SIS, as they would
be in the vicinity securing other work,
and point to their work for me as ref
erence. To this proposition l agreed,
when they had me sign what was rep
resented to be a contract in accord
ance with what they stated. On re-
turning home Tuesday evening l found
they had completed the work and were
both waiting for me. They informed
me they had decided not to remain
there, and wanted me to sign note
or pay them cash for the work. After
much arguing they produced a note
for 5000 and demanded that | sign it.
I protested vigorously, but they said
they could compel me to sign it and
force me to pay it, by the terms of my
contract, and they said if l did not
sign it they would have me arrested.
Becoming alarmed at their threats, l
finally signed it, payable one year
from date.
Another swindle somewhat after the
same style is reported from near Edge
mont, Washington county, Samuel r.
Fitz was done out of $40 in an easy
way. A man came along and con-
tracted to put lightning-rods on his
new barn for S., claiming that it was
one of four samples to be erected in
each county in Maryland as an adver-
tisement. The regular price, he said,
was CT cents per foot. Mr., Fitz signed
the contract, supposing his bill would
be but s.. Another man put up the
rods during Mr.. Fits absence, simply
mailing them against the barn. In a
few days two men came along, one of
whom professed to be a lawyer, to col
lect the money. 1t then developed
that the contract called for the rods to
be erected at 67 cents per foot and the
bill was $40, which Mr.. Fitz paid at
once to avoid further trouble and cost.
The rods are worthless.

There's not trust in the entire Uni
ted States.-Mark Hanna.
On, no No indeed The Ameri-
can Steel and Wire Company is not
trust, although some persons think
so. Nevertheless this company,
which was formed in January, 1899,
with capital stock OF $90,0oo,o00,
of which $5O,OOo,0O0 was water, ad-
vanced the price of nails from STAT
a keg in April, 1898, to 1886 in De-
cember, 1899, and barbed wire from
$1.S7 to $4.13 a hundred pounds.
On the meantime it was selling its
product to foreign consumers, where
the tariff did not protect it, at 30
cents hundred pounds less for its
wire.) The first six months it had
robbed the people of enough to pay
"a per cent on its stock-water and
all.
And then the American Glass Com
pany ! 1t has just about doubled the
price of window glass since 1895, and
it squeezes the people to the very ut
most limit, protected by its duty of
so to 100 per cent.
The American Tin-Plate Company
is no trust But it owns almost ev-
cry tin-plate mill in the country, and
from November, 1898, when the trust
was formed, it advanced the price Of
tin from $3.50 box to $4.S5 a year
later, With property that can be
duplicated for 100000 it's making
heavy profit on capital stock of
$50, 100000, including water.
But words fail us were we to at
tempt to tell Of
The Sugar Trust,
The Oil Trust,
The Lead Trust,
The Paper Trust,
The Armor Trust,
The Cracker Trust,
The Coffin Trust,
The Bicycle Trust,
The Coal Trust,
And all the other unholy combina-
tons that are robbing the masses that
the few may be enriched.

The two candidates for Governor
of West Virginia, John H. Holt, Dem
ocrat, and A. B. White, Republican,
held their first joint debate on Monday
at Bluefeld, the second on Tuesday at
Huntington, and yesterday they met
again at Hinton, where each tried to
annihilate the other oratorically and
politically. Three rounds seem to have
been enough for both, however, for
after the Hinton meeting both candi-
dates agreed to quit and sent joint
telegram canceling their engagements
for joint debate at Parkersburg, Graf
ton and Wheeling.
We think they acted sensibly. Mr..
White and Judge Holt are personal
friends, and their appearance on the
same platform was distasteful to both
and resulted in little or no good to the
followers of either party.

IT'S funny the way the two political
parties are trying to bluff each other
and fool the people, The Republican
national committee on Tuesday gave
out what it asserted was a reliable
representation of the electoral vote,
by which Mckinley was sure to get
266, Bryan ll2, with 81 doubtful.
The number necessary to elect is 224,
so Mr.. McKinley's majority was am
pie. Yesterday the Democratic COM
mittee gave out quite different set
of figures. Bryan was credited with
326 votes, Mckinley was allowed a
beggarly So, and 26 were placed as
doubtful. We don't regard either
statement as very reliable.
