There is one significant feature Of
the tariff situation and that is that
some of the protected interests are
complaining that they are over pro-
tected. They argue that over pro-
lection results in too much domestic
competition, the alluring prospects
OF inordinate profits leading numer-
Gus competitors TO enter the fields
of their respective industries and,
the trust managers naiyely add,
"that means so much expense buying

TO ROB THE FARMERS.

Did it ever occur to the farmers
Of West Virginia that the Dawson
tax laws was gigantic scheme to
rob them OF their farms If not
think Il over Cast your eyes
around you and sec what the souless
corporations own today. How
many Of the farmers own the coal
under their land Very few, if
any. Now the more you investi-
gate the new tax laws the more you
will discover that that the object of
the infamous law is 90 raise the
taxes so high that the farmer cannot
pay them. This will force the far
mer to sell and the corporations will
buy the farm at their own price.
Look az the new tax laws from any
side and you will find them branded
"corpOration."
During the last campaign the Re
publican newspapers and stump
speakers, who were controlled by
the Republican machine, told YOU
that the taxes on all oil and gas lea
scs would have 10 be paid by the
oil and Goal companies. TheD Dem
ocrats told you it would be Just the
opposite; that the farmers would
have TO pay the taxes on the leases.
Now the Supreme Court of Appeals,
the highest tribunal I'm The State,
has rendered los decision and says
that the farmers must pay Che taxes.
Bear in mind that rarty member of
the Supreme Court lisa RlbYtHcan.
No politics in that decision, but I'M
that decision many a farmer in the
oil counties will be compelled 90
sell his farm, for under The inslruc.
tions Of the power behind The throne
the assessors have assessed the
leases back for Hrs years.
Now if our Republican farmers
have not had enough Of the Dawson
tax laws, all they have TO do is TO
vote for Mr. Lakin who is the warm
friend Of Governor Dawson and an
ardent supporter Of Gov. Dawson's
tax laws.

THE INSIDE RAILROAD RINGS

Discrimination by Them.

WAsHIECToN, May I8,-Rail-
road men are just now discussing
one Of the most important decisions

Court Of the United States upon the
matter Of freight car discrimination
The court held that, in addition
TO their power TO issue writs forbid.
ding discrimination, the judges Of
United States Circuit and District
Courts have the rigut to fix the
percentage Of cars which railroads
must furnish shippers.
This decision, which was made
public a few days ago, goes far to

would have resulted in the crushing

The case before court was that

which alleged that il had been dis

cars by the officials Of the West
Virginia Northern Railroad.
This road is small branch Of
the Baltimore and Ohio, and there
are three mines along the line.
Two Of these mines are said to be

GREAT DEMAND
Is There for Wool at the Present Time
-Tarilr Has Nothing TO DO with It,
All Account Foreign Demand.

An exchange remarks that during
this month and next the wool clips
OF West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky
and Indiana will be ready for the
market, and no more opportune time
so far as prices are concerned, could
have arrived. There IS great excite
ment in all the wool markets Of the
world, occasioned not only by tire.
mendons demand for immediate use,
but increased by a growing specula-
ton induced by belief that prices
are bound to advance still further
than those prevalent today Woods
of all grades, both foreign and
domestic are in great demand, and
manufacturers do not hesitate to say
they are buying all they can now,
knowing that the new clips will
bring higher prices. The Russian
government is making contracts for
army clothing to cover the require
ments of the army for the next win
ter's work, and the Japanese gov
ernment is placing large orders for
its forces.
These great and useful demands
forbid in Russia the exportation of
wool from that country, while lap
anese orders are TO large extent
unusual and comes upon a market
deprived Of the Russian raw mater
ial. The military demands are, of
course, very large in amount, but
they are exceeded by the civilian
demands OF the increased popula-
ton in Canada, Alaska and the mil
lions Of the great belt of our own
Northern states running from Maine
to Oregon.
Few people realize that !, 900, 900
persons are being added each year
to the population of Iowa, Mime
sofa, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho.
Oregon, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming,
Nebraska aud Nevada, and every
one of this additional million re-
quires good supply of wooden cloth
ing. The armies of the five strong
est Governments in the world do Aot
require the yards Of wooden cloth
nor the pounds of wool that will be
purchased for this additional mil
lion living in these prosperous
states.
The wool growers Of the country
have now their innings, and they
will find this present year that plenty
of money among the people Of the
earth causes such a demand that
tariffs are forgotten aud arc about
as much use as slack water dams arc
in food time on the Ohio river.

Grant p. Hall exploded bomb she'll

son five years ago, Being then chair
man Of the Republican state com
mittec, had placed in his (Hall's)
hands $500 TO be used in bnbin0
a member Of the county court. The
story IS that when it came TO making
a list Of election commissioners for
1900 it was feared that two mem.
bers Of the county court, which
body is charged with selecting cleo
ton commissioners, would not
choose such as would be acceptable
TO the Republican managers, and
Dawson gave him three one thous-
and dollar bills and one five hun.
dred dollar bill TO be turned over 10
a certain member in case he voted
for the men on the list furnished by
Dawson. Another man, not named
by Hail. was TO make the deal.
There were two commissioners
named, Keen and Woodal The
money was TO go Co either Of them
who voted right The commission
ers designated by Dawson were not
appointed and the money not being
earned, was returned to him.

sensation, and is the elimination of

appealed to the Supreme Court.
The point was raised that Congress
never intended United States courts
should have power to say how
many cars must be furnished

Upon this issue the Supreme
Court said.
"T'he acts of Congress forbade
discrimination, and made it unlaw.
ful 10 give any undue or unreason-
able preference or advantage to
