BY ELEVATING THE QUALITY
OF our coal We lower the price in economy of
consumption. Consumers will find that it is
cheaper to use our high grade Lee Coal, that
has been screened and freed from slate and
stone, than that of an inferior grade. 1t gives
more heat, less ashes and burns longer than
any other coal, and our prices are as low as
any. Coal and Wood under cover.

who knows the business Of this coun-
try and can command the respect Of Inc
world. (Applause.)
We are living in the commercial age
OF tie world. Mr.. SWEET then quoted
figures showing how our wheat and
cotton crops, exports, gold production,
ETC., were larger than that OF any
other nation. Our railroads are six
times the length of any other nation.
Our farms, mills, mines and factories
have increased and multiplied beyond
the increase OF our population. We
must look to foreign markets to sell
our products. Under the adminlstra-
ton OF President Mckinley our indus
tries have grown and our exports have
bounded and leaped more than In any
other period of the same length. Our
export trade to Europe last year for
the first time passed the 500. 100000
line We are carrying on brisk
trade with all the countries of the
globe. We have reached stage in COM
mercial and agricultural development
that pretty near all the world is de-
pendent In measure upon us. a
Industrial Supremacy.
The speaker, continuing. gave his
tory of how we have arrived at indus
trial supremacy In face OF the desire of
European nations to acquire the lead
ership OF all other countries In this re-
spect. We all know the enormous
strides Japan has made In the past Few
decades China in the next fifty years
will build $1,000 miles Of railroad. With
the open door policy the United States
can furnish these steel rails cheaper
than any other government These
facts will enable US to see the import
nnce of the Philippine Island question.
The acquisition Of these islands will be
one Of the most material advantages
that ever accrued to this country.
Mr.. Bryan would turn the Philippines
over to the Tagals. II he really believes
what he breaches he would so out TO
his home in Nebraska and turn his
home over to the Sioux Indians. He
Is very much concerned in the young
mans chance nowadays. He said all
avenues to independent effort to young
were closed. The young mans chance
now Is about the same as what it was
fifty years ago and about the same as 1t
will be fifty years hence. We all have
the same chance. If the laws are un-
just they affect us all alike. II they
are prevalent they give US all the same
chance. Mr.. SWEET then gave many In
stances OF millionaires who rose from
perjury to atlluence. He was given an
enthusiastic cheer when he concluded.

A POTTER TALKS.

Tells Of the Benefits Of Protective
Tariff in America, as APPLIED to the
Pottery Industry.
An Intelligencer reporter had an in
teresting chat with William f. Keatcs.
foreman of the potting department OF
the Wheeling pottery, yesterday. and
he gave some inside facts regarding the
effects Of 4 protective tariff on the pot
terry industry Of this country. Mr..
Keates is well able to discuss this ques-
ton as he came to this country from
England In July. 1898. and has seen the
effect the tariff has had in both coun-
tries.
Mr.. Keatcs says he came here with
the intention OF remaining only three
months, but he was told that things
were Frightening up and that indus
trial conditions were better than they
had been for number Of years. and he
concluded he would remain.
II worked In England during Grover
Clcveland's administration" continued
Mr.. Keates, managing an art pottery,
and all our wares were sent'over to this
country. For the last seven months OF
Cleveland's administration our factory,
as well as others. did not shut down
seven minutes and We worked night and
day. AS soon as Mckinley was elected
our orders became slack.
There is 4 duty OF from 50 to G5 per
cent on pottery products now and al
though we have that duty now England
can undersell us in some lines. I think
we cannot get enough Of tariff on
merchandise imported into this country.
when l came here 1 met many men
I knew In England. These men got
salaries that would amount to from sis
to $50 a week here. but as good as s45
there. These poor bcggars were walk
Ing about the streets Of New York, de-
pending on the soup houses for subsist-
ence and begging for q nickel to 20 Into
saloons to get lunch. Several told inc
they had no shoes on their feet and
tliobt "IiV lItUl lltu Oh
with pieces OF wire instead OF buttons.
Several of them told me that they had
sat down In Castle Garden. watched
the vessels going out to England, sat
down and cried like n child to think
that these vessels were going where
there was good times. I don't know
ono OF them now that has not employ
ment. Several have told me since that
they had saved enough money to re-
turn to England In the event OF the
election OF Bryan. because they knew
they could. in that event. find better
times there than here
This being presidential year we
don't expect much ms regards business,
but here In this factory we have more
orders that we can MI and we nrc en-.
ploying more men every day.
"Thcre cannot be too big tariff be.
cause this country Is gradually making
better class OF goods. We are grad
uc'ly catching up TO the other side.
Take GJ per cent off the goods sold In
any OF the stores In this city and tho
English wares can be bought cheaper
than the product OF home mnnufac-
ture."
Mr.. Kcatcg though only In this coun-
try n little over two ycarR, takes deep
interest In politics and dovotcs consId-
CRADLE of his time in atudylng the polIt-
lcal situation.

pledged Itself to protective tariff and

those would bring prosperity to the

great pleasure in introducing Hon. Ed
ward c. SWEET. OF Maine. Mr.. SWEET
was enthusiastically applauded as he
arose to address the crowd.
He began by saying he was glad to be
among the members Of the Little
Mountain state, rightly termed the
Switzerland Of America. The proper
ton of negroes here was smaller than
In any other state in the Union. West
Virginia has larger area Of timber

poses than any other state In the I'M
len. These facts taken into conslderl-
ton, with It's many mills and factories.
show that this state has more at stake
in the coming election than any other
state In the Union.

The question for the voter to deter

scented the patriotism and sound prn-
ciples of our republican government.

Improvement In Swine

The term improvement is only relative.
There is no such thing as the improve
uent Of swine in the abstract When we
speak of the Improvement Of swine we
mean in the relation Of the hog to man.
In the relation Of the hog to himself
there has been no Improvement, but
rather an absolute deterioration. Lat the
human race disappear from the earth at
this time aud the hog would be in bad
shape to survive. At least this would be
true Of the improved hog. He would fall
prey to hunger, for he could not hunt
bis own food except under the most
favorable circumstances ; il any wild ami
NAL got after him he would be unable to
fight, for his tusks have been bred out
Even as relates to man the improvement
made by one generation it not the i'm
provement desired by another. There
was a time when bisness counted for
nearly everything in the improved hog
Nov the buyers want quick grown hogs
Of medium weight The next improve
ment will probably be more lean meat in
the hog, because the buyers taboo the
fat The next generation will see new
standards Of improvement established
The present Ii Of breeding will have
to be modified from year to year as de-
mands change

Probably no forage crop has attracted
more attention 10 recent years than the
COW pea. 1t was slow in getting foot
hold in public esteem. but when that po-
sition was once obtained it advanced
very rapidly in public favor This is
largely due to the fact that the expert
ment stations took up the COW pea and
investigated it. They found it to be q
very good plant for the collection Of nitro
gen and its introduction into the soil
Tho farmers are now in close touch with
the experiment stations and the value Of
the COW pea was pressed on the notice Of
the farmers wherever the pea can be
successfully and safely grown We do
not hesitate to say that If We had no ex-
pertinent stations the COW pea would be
still struggling for recognition. Without
doubt the COW pea is destined T., pay a
much larger part in our agriculture than
at present. There is no reason why the
farmers that have ground in the early
crops 10 the spring and irst part Of the
summer should not plant COW peas after
ward. OF course the pea vines will not
10 such case mature seed. but the vines
and roots will great; improve the soil

Drain the Swamp.

There are yet multitudes Of farms in
this country where swamps exist. We
see them on every hand. Sometimes
they are 10 the meadow and every year
bring forth crop of coarse grass that is
Of no particular value to the farmer, says
Farmers ReuieW Such meadows might
be made producers of timothy, clover or
other grass Of value. Sometimes, yes,
often, We see the swamps forming part Of
the pasture. They do not become really
dangerous till near the middle Of the
summer when most of the water has
evaporated and what remains is so warm
ed by the sun that it is filed with life.
Disease germs breed in them and afflict
both man and beast We do not realize
this as We should Yet scientists know
that swsmpy countries are malariOus
countries Drain every swamp that can
be drained. There are many that can be
got rid of by little open ditch. The
writer knew Of one farm where there
was q swamp that has existed Ia the pas
ture for City years. A ditch two feet
deep aud 100 feet long rendered it dry
and tillable. land At the same time it
did away WIN 4 slough from which the
COWS bad drank for years. Another
swamp on the same farm might have
been abolished in the same way. but it
was permitted to remain By reasan of
inattention to this little work about four
acres of rich land lay idle, bringing forth
only worthless alders.
