The difference in the Republican and
Democratic methods Of doing things
was never more sflkilgly emphasized
than in the revision Of the tariff this
year and the passage Of the Wilson
German bill in 1898. Then all was
confusion, uproar and dismay. Bust
ness men Of all classes were uneasy
and wen might they be for free
trade measure was IN contemplation.
But the protection Democrats then as
now stepped into the breach and the
new tariff bill became sort of
cross between a free trade and pro-
lection measure, satisfactory to mo-
body. Bota parties repudtated 1t and
business took a long vacation follow
Ing It's passage. Conditions are very
different to-day. The Dingley tariff
rates have been revised by the friends
Of the protective system and the
chances seem bright that before many
more weeks the Payne bill will be on
tiie statute hooks in good shape and
Inc people at large are getting ready
Tor general resumption of business
Il IS believed that another decade Of
maryeious prosperity is due and will
come Immediately on the settlement
for the present Of the fight for tariff
oyerhanling. Such a condition will be
hailed wlta delight by all classes and
conditions OF people and the men who
settle this question SO happily by pass

measure Will have the gratitude and
support Of the masses. We are proud
Oh the part our West Virginia repre-.
sentatIyes in Congress have taken in
this matter and We feel certain 1t will
give the Republican policies firmer
root in the State. The Democrats as
party do not stand for the best in.
terests OF West Virginia. Protection
Is the safeguard OF our natural re-
sources and our natural resources are
the basis OF the states welfare and
prosperity. It is certainly gratifying
for one to feel that he is on the right
side Of this great tariff question. More
power to the Republicans in Congress
who are revising the tariff in the in
terests Of all the people.

the end of the term, and she achieved
another we'll. deserved success.
Never In the history Of the school
have the closing exercises been 20
appropriately selected, so carefully
arranged and splendidly carried out
by pupils and teacher rs on this oc-
casion. The decorations were artis-
tic-red,' white and blue streamers,
and flags. The charming and clever
naturalness of the smaller children
in their various parts, and the per-
feet manner In which the older pu-
pills performed their roles, won FREE
quent and appreciative applause.
The singing was treat and a sur
prise to most Of those present. This
feature alone would have done credit
to any of the outside schools.
The crowd was the largest that
ever gathered In the neighborhood.

came from down the river, and sew

a sour stomach five minutes after

what little you do eat seems to fill
you, or lays like lump Of lead in
your stomach, or if you have heart

Ask your pharmacist for q 6O-cent

There will be no sour risings, no
belching of undigested food mixed
with acid, no stomach gas or heart
burn, fullness or heavy feeling In the
stomach, nausea, debilitating head
aches, dizziness or intestinal gripping.
This will all go, and, besides, there

A "cENrLEMAN cAPPER."

My firm was exceedingly liberal,
and never questioned my exp-ns-
accounts. My monthly cigar and
restaurant bills were from $3.50 To
1900. To entertain customers WAS
part of my occupation, and these ex-
penses did not matter when the Gus
toners was a good trader.
Mind. L had no inducements to offer
the people who did business with me,
other than any other New York
Stock Exchange house offered. The
rules Of the New York Stock ,Ex-
cnange tie all its members to one
routine of business. If secured
new customers 1t was on personal
grounds, and not because I could
offer them any better terms than
other houses.
Within year and half built up
a business of from 1000 to 8, 600 shares
q day-representing q profit Of about
$l1O6O to 500 day to my firm. My
salary was raised 5000 a year, and 1
received handsome cash bonus.
Not quite three weeks after my
salary had been raised my firm
failed. My customers, who had lost
whatever they had on deposit, felt
that should have known of the cri-
sis, and given them chance to
withdraw their funds. The ink upon
the ticker announcing the suspension
was hardly dry when another Stock
Exchange house offered me the same
salary, II 1 cared to associate myself
with them.

my firm derived In almost three
years, from the orders of actual In
