This gives q pretty fair understands
Ing OF the aims, purposes and objects
or Democracy In West Virginia. Elk
cept for the occasional office and the
more or less remote prospect Of fur
ther official reward, Democracy In
West Virginia has no object in being
and has had no object for the past
twenty years. 1t has opposed or re-
tarded practically every reform and
every piece OF progressive legislation
that has been written upon the stat
ute books. 1t has betn the willing
tool and servant Of every corporation
that has seen fit to put certain lead
ers upon It's pension rolls. It has
been the obedient slave OF the rail
roads, OF the oil companies, and the
gas companies. 1t has sold the name
OF Democracy TO tax dodgers and cor
porat1on lobbyists. The prosptct Of
q few jobs to be scattered around
may serve to bring new life for a
short time to this purifying political
body, but even the jobs, however
abundant. will not be able to revive
1t permanently.

A VICTIMS TESTIMONY
A Laborer Who Hasn't FORGOTTEN
Previous Pinches. |

A Laborer Who Hasn't Forgotten
Previous Pinches.
A Workingman who has felt the
pinches Of that disastrous period In
the country's history when the Dem
ocrats were in power has written to
the Pittsburg Gazette-Times warning
his fellow workers about being taken
in by the smooth words of the Demo-
cratic tariff revisionists Of today. The
writer says that he distinctly re-
members. the arguments made by
Democrats that 81 would produce So
worth and everything would be cheap,
but 1T has turned out that American
labor was the cheapest thing In the
country, and the low tariff farmer got
stung. Wheat and corn could not be
sold; wheat was fed to stock. and
everything else got cheap because the
people went broke. The government
also went broke and President
Cleveland had to sell bonds to meet
expenses. Now, we don't want to put
the country back to such a condition.
My advice to the workingman is:
Don't be fooled into voting for low
get the worst of 1t IL you do
That is advice coming from one
who knows. 1t Is the plea OF the
Democratic free traders that under
lower tariffs everything will be cheap
SO they will. SO will wages be lower,
when work can be obtained, but what
ts the good Of cheaper products when
there 1s no money to purchase them
with. This was the case in those
sorrowful years Of the Wilson-Gor-
man bill. Everything was cheap, but
there was no work for the working
men to earn a pittance to buy the
cheap things. In those days the farm
er couldn't sell because the purchas-
ing power of the consumer was re-
duced to an insignificant minimum,
and he, too, suffered as there was no
market for his wheat, corn and other
products. Are the people going to
forget those days Of desolation and
want, into which they were once bun.

the last one was Intercepted by an
opposing half, who advanced it ten
yards before he was downed. So on
the three w. v. u. only made the
difference Of ten yards and more

West Virginia. Team
Not Up TO Standard
of the Former Teams
SPECIAL TO THE NATL

SPECIAL TO THE MAIL
Morgantown, w. Va, Oct 10
From critical standpoint OF view,
West Virginia's team does not near
come up this year to the standard Of
teams Or Of playing, as set by former
varsity teams. Of course, the Uni,
Versity is playing hard luck lately,
in not having Munk at quarter and
Bell at half. These men from the
lineup tells heavily on the present
team. Munk's absence has taken
away the spirit Of offense and the de-
fensive vitality of the line. The
new quartefbacks, while being good
men, are new to the game and are
not near so steady as Munk in the
Dtaces'"'They do not "use variety of
pays that keep their opponents
guessing all the time, and as shown
by the last two games, in pinches do
not use the right play, which in
many cases means the turning poin,
Tor either team.
The backfeld is awfully slow. so
slow as to lead spectators to believe
that they were attired in a divinity
suit instead clad for action on the
sridiron. The hackfield on end runs
cut in toward the center of the field
too quick, instead or taking the adj
vantage Of an almost open field by
making larger circle around either
end. The interference is very door
and open, allowing the Sitting In or
opposing players and getting the
runner with the ball before he has
advanced more than yard, where
with compact body in front, many
more yards would be gained, instead
Of losing the ball on downs as was
$50 many times. The defense Of the
line Is weak and also open, allowing
rival halves to break through for
large gains. The linemen do not use
their eyes rightly and do not take
hold Of an advantage when it is Of
fered (of course there are excep-
+tfons- this-ru4e} . -~----------
