by saying frankly that he has re-
ceived a 20 per cent increase in his
wages since 1898. Then ne shows how
much worse off he is now than he was
then.
For bank oil he paid So cents a gal
Ion in 1898; he pays so cents a gallon
for it now. In 1898 he paid s1.2O a key
for powder; today he pays $225 per
keg for it. Flour cost $3.50 per barrel
in 1898; -four costs Camack 81 per bar
rel today. Other comparisons follow.
the price first named in each instance
being the 1895 price:
Bacon, is cents per pound, against
16 % cents per pound; beef. SIS cents
per pound. against Is cents per pound:
graduated sugar. 6ik cents, against 10
cents: tea. 90 cents. against 70 cents:
kerosene, 10 cents per gallon, against
20 cents; salt. 1 cent pound. against
Az cents a pound; laundry soap, Is
cents dozen bars. against so cents a
dozen; butter, is 2-3 cents a pound,
against 80 cents a pound And so the
list could be multiplied almost indefi-
nitely. The items given are enough,
however. to show that the West Vir-
ginia laboring man is steadily losing
ground. His wages have been in
creased 20 per cent and his cost of liv-
ing has Increased from 50 per cent to
325 per cent.
The Herald does not intend to pose
as a calamity bowler" It believes
this is the greatest country Gods sun
light ever shone upon. and that even a

oFFIcEHoLDEss IN POLITICS.

TT is HARD TO LOOK upon the po-
lltlcal battle field without seeing a
company of fedaral officeholders busily
engaged in the forefront OF the con
hict. George A. Smith is careering
about the state trying to make votes
for McCarty and Howell. United
St9es Marshal Haywood and District
Attorney Lippman are as busy as they
can be keeping the machine forces IN
line in Salt Lake county. Revenue
Collector Callister is regular visitor
70 Republican state committee head
quarters, where his counsel is freely
given and gladly accepted.
All OF these gentlemen must know
that they are violating both the spirit
and the letter of the law when they
engage in this work. The public must
conclude that they have an inside tip
that they can do pretty much as they
please in political matters, or that they
have a mighty lively time coming to
them when their respective depart
ments hear OF their doings.
In order that there can be no mis-
take as TO the written ruling of the
authorities. The Herald takes pleas
ure In publishing an instruction dated
July IA. 1856, under the first cleve-
land administration. and endorsed
Aug. s. 1900. 1t says:
"OFFTCEHOLDERS ARE THE
AGENTS OF THE PEOPLE. NOT
THEIR MASTERS. NOT ONLY is
THEIR TINE AND LABOR DUE TO
THE GOVERNMENT. BUT THEY
SHOULD SPONTANEOUSLY AVOID,
IN THEIR POLITICAL ACTION AS
WELL AS IN THE DISCHARGE OF
THEIR OFFICIAL DUTY, OFFEND
ING. BY DISPLAY OF OBTRUSIVE
PARTIsANSHIP, THEIR NEIGH
BORIS WHO HAVE RELATIONS
WITH THEM AS PUBLIC OFF,
GALS.
THEY SHOULD ALSO CON-
sTANTLY REMEMBER THAT
THEIR PARTY FRIENDS, FROM
WHOM THEY HAVE RECEIVED
PREFERMENTs. HAVE NOT IN
VESTED THEM WITH THE POWER
OF ARBITRARILY MANAGING
THEIR POLITICAL AFFAIRS. THEY
HAVE NO RIGHT AS OFFIcEHOLD-
ERs TO DICTATE THE POLITICAL
ACTION OF THEIR PARTY ASSO-
GATES. OR TO THROTTLE FREE
DOM OF ACTION WITHIN PARTY
LINES BY METHODS AND PRAC-
TICES WHICH PERVERT EVERY
USEFUL AND JUSTIFIABLE PUR-
POSE OF PARTY ORGANIZATION.
THE INFLUENCE OF FEDERAL
OFFICEHOLDERS SHOULD NOT BE
FELT IN THE MANIPULATION OF
POLITICAL PRIMARY MEETINGS
AND NOMINATING CONVENTIONS.
THE USE BY THESE OFFICIALS OF
THEIR POSITION TO COMPASS
THEIR SELECTION AS DELEGATES
TO POLITICAL CONVENTIONS is
INDECENT AND UNFAIR; and
proper regard for the proprieties and
requirements OF official place will also
prevent their assuming the active con.
duct OF political campaigns"
