Irrational Apologists.

The Wetzel Republican In the fol-
loving editorial, knocks the main
prop from one OF the free trade argu-
ments some OF the Democrats in this
district are trying to build up:
Some Of the apologists for the r
trade pls form on which the Demo

district is running. are maintaining
with the usual ~peryersity OF DemoG-

BILE for the low industrial conditions
prevailing in England. IL this is
true is it not singular that the whole
civilized world. except Great Britai1,
has protectionists, and the
very year last passed a witnessed
the desertion Of English principles
by the last English colony which
held out? This has been done in de-
iance of the opinions of every po-
utical economist in England who
wrote prior to 1850 and OF nos o.
those who have written since.
The Democratic free traders are

sis OF the disease even If it kills the
sufferer. This was the case whel
the free traders were destroying the
country in the dark days of 1891.
II. free trade had nothing to do
with the paralysis of business AMI
manufacturing interests in Great
Britain why did Germany turn to pro-
lection and prosper? And finally
what would become of the present
industrial prosperity OF West Vir-

trade be suddenly applied? The
people OF this state are too well in
formed on this economical matte,
and nave had too much bitter ex-
p~erience under other conditions to
vote to restore the Wilson-Gorman
days of inactivity. Industrial desola-

The az Exposition.

1t is rather a superfiuous thing to
remind the large family of Telegram
readers h a THE Old Clarksburg
Fair" will be held here next week
and to urge them to attend u.
Practically everybody in this section
knows the dates OF the fair and has
already made arrangements to take
a few lays on next week and take
part in the amusements and festtv-
tiles there.
While much attention ID given to
the amusement and pleasure OF the
fair visitors by the management, yet
that is not the sole object OF h e%-
position. Many exhibits of educa-
tional value will be seen, which will
naturally be of great benefit to the
young folk, and older persons may
increase their stock of useful knowl-
edge by an exchange OF ideas n
the new suggestions that will be al
forded by the exposition.
This grand annual gathering
brings all the people of this section
together in a sort of big family r"-
union and the social feature OF their
intermingling, such as the renewal OF
old friendships and the making OF
new acquaintances, helps to lift the
man and woman from the rut OF
every day life and to broaden their
views and their sphere of activitis
So, while everybody is assured

I The anti-expectoration crusade OF the
Brattleboro Woman's club has received
a new impetus from tbe clever idea of
Miss Alice Lindgren. the nurse in charge
Of the fight against tuberculosis IN Brat
tleboro. Signs having lost their salutary
effect, Miss Lindgren, has armed herself
with piece of brilliant red chalk and, on
her trips about town, wherever she finds
that anyone has expectorated on the side
walk, she makes big red mark about the
spot. Such a course pursued in Ran
dolph would chalk the whole town red if
the first made marks were not washed
away by copious elections of tobacco juice
before the last street had been completely
ringed. Conspicuous branding of the ex-
pectorators might prove a more powerful
remedy for the evil. and the ladies could
follow the rule laid down for charity and
let the good work begin at home. Still.
some doubt is entertained as to the certain
success ofapy method against this pecul-
iariy masculine habit, which Is even more
