Here is an item from last weeks
Oakland Republican that shows that
the County Court of Garrett county,
right along side of Preston is much
more liberal with its newspapers
than oui court, and Garrett is no
more able to pay fair price than
Preston, either. Here is the item
we refer to
AT Thursdays session of the
Board of County Commissioners
the printing and publishing for the
ensuing year was awarded as follows:
To Benz. II. Siucell for publishing
and printing 1915 to James ID.

This makes over eleven hundred. a S

receive big fees from the State for
various kinds of publications re-
quired to be published in every
county.

A carload of Swedish Sailors, just
arrived in New York on Tuesday,
was switched off here this morning
from train No. 3 and taken up on
the Belington branch to Berrysburg

We call upon our Republican
contemporaries, and especially the
Journal and Republican, of the ban
ner Republican county of West Vir-
ginia, to explain the necessity of
importing contract labor to COM
pete with our American workmen.
Both Bros. Whetsell and Reed have
been adopts in Calculating the ben
efits of Protection to American la
Dor for years past. Their solicitude
for the American workmen have
caused them to burn the midnight
oil more than once in their patriotic
efforts to convince the American
workmen that the Democratic party
was in league with the English Free
Traders to deprive them of the full
dinner pail But what do we find
under the benehcent and benevo
lent laws of the Republican party ?
a generous importation of contract
labor to partake of the contents of
the full dinner pail.
Let the Journal and Republican
tell them why.
