have stated that he Is now, as always,
a free trader. He prefers to postpone
statement of his tariff position. If
this delay could mean that he would
consent to any protective schedule, he
would be on Republican ground. He
may juggle and befog his tariff views,
but multiplying words will not change
his free trade intent. Business men
should realize this fact. Wage earners
should keep it in mind In protection
Bryan Is an absolute destructionist.
With such a man at the head of execu-
tive affairs the policy would be to
sweep away every vestige Of protection,
purpose thar appears in everything
he has ever said in discussing the tar
if. A business upheaval would neces-
sarily be the result. American indus
tries would halt until they could get
their bearings in the markets and in
margins of profit. With this condition
would come a corresponding loss in
the scale of wages and opportunities of
employment
Mr.. Bryan is trying to retreat from
his former paramount issue under COW
er Of what he calls the cumulative
theory of the money supply. He main
tains that he was right about free sill
yer, but that the unexpected increase
in the output of gold relieved the strain
without lessening the soundness Of his
chief financial theory. Some quanti-
tative things have happened since 1896
in American industries and foreign
trade also. Exports Of American man.
ufactures IN the fiscal year Just closed
were about S6OO,OOOOOO. The total in
1896 was S229,O00,0OO. The uuantita-
tive jump in selling our manufactured
products abroad has been 100 Der cent
since Bryan made his cross of gold
speech. Our whole foreign trade Is
larger than ever before. Another uuan.
titatiYe point is that steamships are
much larger than in 1896 and cross the
ocean in less time. With free trade they
could pour in q mountain of foreign
merchandise every week, compelling
our industries to close down and on,
workmen to hunt new vocation. Mr..

Race 10 On-Hall and

James A. Hall and Roy Reece,
the two candid ates for County
Treasurer have entered the race
IN earnest. The contest will be
an interesting one from the very
fact that they are we'll known
and popular with the masses.
But the opinion seems to pre-
vail among the voters that Mr..
Reece is carrying too much
weight to defeat Mr.. Hall. the
democratic candidate when it
comes to the home stretch. Row
leaves the post carrying the
weight of the National State
Guards, which will be impossible
for him to dispel. This county
is composed of many miners both
colored and white, who are OBJ
posed to military supervision and
they have charged it to the Re-
publican candidate who is the
adlutant general and it will be
the cause of his defeat.
Hall leaves the post under
very favorable circums tances
carrying no weight to retard his
progress. And when he strikes
the county precincts, M. Reece,
you cannot head him Offspring
field Leader.
This is quite a blow at Mr..
Reece and he or some one able
to refute the allegation should
do so. We are not informed
along the lines of which he com.
plains and are not prepared to

LABOR LEGISLATION.

There never was time in the
history of the labor movement in
West Virginia when the united eff
forts of organized labor was more
necessary than at this particular
time. If we ever expect to thor
oughly organize the State there
must be Il few laws placed on our
statute books to protect the inter
csts of the laboring man, to some
extent, at least. The trusts, cor
poratiOns and capitalists have all
the laws and protection and the
masses of the people have had to be
content with what has been handed
out to them. II is now within the
power of the people to place them
selves i'll Il position to demand that
labor be given Il hearing by the
next session of legislature and that
the laws necessary for their pro-
lection be passed by that body.
TO insure this it is up to the labor
ing men throughout the State to
cut out partisan politics and see
that men who are known to be
favorable are elected to represent
them, and where possible to select
Il man with Il paid up union card
in his pocket. The time has come
when we must enter politics to this
extent. Send organized labor's
friend to Congress and to the lcgis-
laturc, be he democrat. republican,
socialist, prohibition or what not.
We have arrived at that point
in West Virginia where organiza
ton can go but very little further
unless we secure the enactment of
some protection by legislative
means. Don't be misled bv the
willy politician who will make all
kinds of promises as they have done
in the past.
The destiny of the cause depends
on it. Now is the time to begin
the good work and it must be kept
up until the desired result is OBJ
tanned.
