notice "a lengthy communication i'm
your issue of October "a from the pen of
Mr.. Price 10 should De rea bv every
citizen of the county. The tolls in
Clarke county have heretofore been
higher than in any other county in the
State. VIII the people stand such high
way robbery. Did not the Legislature
grant charters for the building Of these
roads or pixies, Cannot the Legislature
relieve The general public from this
plague. Last week while in Berryville
had occasion 20 drive TO the Lewis farm.
upon which our efficient sheriff resides.
and was compelled TO pay > cents toll
a rate of {; cents per mile And was in
/ formed IL / had remained over night the
same charge would have been made on
my return. There is neither sense nor
/ justice in this outrage You could not
wear out the pike with one-horse
+ buggy any more 10y returning next dav
or l. hours later. Il seems like when
public franchises are granted a corpora
/ lion, instead of being utilized for public
good AZ just compensation it is turned
/ into highway robbery.
! presume the pike leading from Cas-
/ tleman' ferry TO Winchester belongs to
the same corporation, and that $4,000 Is
collected annually Is this money that
is squeezed from the public divided
among the stockholders Why should
il not be used TO build bridse over the
/ OpeQuon. In Kentucky, in Pennsvlva-
MIA, and other places the people have
risen up and by violence cut open the
gates and freed the country We decrv
and do not hold mp violence. but the
time VIII come when the people will de
fend themselves, il soulleSS corporations
continue in this lcgSlzed robbery.
Farmers, YOU people who earn your
bread 10y the sweat of your brow who
are taxed by high tariff on every turn.

hope TO see this beautiful county and
State rise up and shake from her should
ers the shackleS that have bound her to
the dark ages of the past. Let a new
era dawn upon the Queen of counties.
Let old ideas pass away. Let new and
progressive ideas imbue oar people. Let
pluck take the place Of luck. Let ambi-
ton and capacity drive away the super
stition OF the past. One of the leading
officials of the county has informed me
that if You build fence or single your
house they turn up side down etc if the
moon is not right to plant onions. You
must do il in the dark Of the moon on
they won't stay in mother earth. This
is why we have had ferries so long, this

A Serious Labor Situation

\ revelation that must attract
public attention has Just been made
TO q reporter of the Washington
Post by an English gentlemen. in
one of the hotel lobbieS OF that
city, which was detailed to the
reporter In such a succinct and di-
rect way and intelligent manner.
and showing the profound thought
tulncss of the narrator. that we re-
produce IL for COURIER readers as
certainly revealing very clearly
the true conditions prevailing i'm
United States at the present time.
and As a guide for future action.
Let all read it and give it most
thoughtful consideration:
You Americans have confront
ing YOU very serious. labor situa-
ton" said Mr.. Rochester Hing
worth. of Coventry, England. To a
Post reporter at the Raleigh. Mr..
lllingworth IS the managing direc-
tor of the Leigh Mills Company.
which is one of the largest houses
engaged in the manufacture of
WOODEN goods in the United King
dom. The policy of protection
to which YOU adhere and which
Mr.. Chamberlain is endeavoring To
have adopted in England is steadi-
ly diverting the immense natural
wealth of your country into the
hands of the few at the expense of
the masses. When the laboring
man sees enormous fortunes being
accumulated by capitalists by
methods which he considers in the
light of plundering, he will demand
4 share of the plumber. Demands
for increased wages will be clam
,orously urged, and an acute. strain
ed state of affairs will obtain that
will wreck the present wonderful
prosperity.
There is not the slightest dam
ger that England will be led into
the grave error that YOU are max
ing. You can afford it. With
your wonderful resources to squan-
der, you are like man with val
liable estate who can afford to
squander his substance. True
wealth consists of the products of
the soil. Beyond that the rest is
manipulation. As long rs your
resources hold eut YOU can afford
to contribute TO the great fortunes
of few multi-millionaires. but a
few successive years of unproduc-
tveneSS would serve to show YOU
your mistake. If every man or
woman who went into shop To
purchase imported articles were to
be presented with schedule show
ing the amounts they must pay for
the actual values of the articles.
and in another column the cost of
protection added, venture TO say
that within seven days there would
be an overwhelming free-trade SEN
timent in America.
a commodity sold in my coun-
try at two shillings is sold in the
United States at five shillings. In
addition to all costs of importation
and transportation. there is a small
additional charge over the price of
the same article in England. Pro
lection would bring about similar
conditions in England, which is
realized by majority of the peo-
pie, who will steadily oppose any
departure from the policy of free
trade under which the wages OF
labor have doubled, and, in some
cases, tripled in the past thirty
years, and the purchasing power
of the sovereign more than doubled
in the same time.
