DEMAND
Black 9B'etesy Mine
Wants to Know What
FLUTES Will Do

Dear Sir; Please give me space in
your valuable paper for a few.,words
In regard to the graft and greed. that
is imposd upon the people and miners
of West Virginia.
In the first place there is the script
system. if a miner goes to the store
or what Call Rob Shop" to get five
cents worth of tobacco he. cannot get
1t unless he draws one dollar script.
and he has got to have one dollar
coming to him before he can get five
cents worth. There is ninety five
cents you are forced to spend with
them lit is no good any where else:
What kind of a. system do you call
that democrats call it republican
rule, In the second place miner
draws his script it is just worth
what they want to. give him for it.
Say he wants twenty-five cents worth
OF Beef ;at twenty two cents per h.,
they take paper enough to tie up one
collars worth so the miner gets about.
eighteen icents worth of beef and
seven cents worth of paper at twenty
Two cents pound. Bacon at twenty
two cents per pound Lard al % cts.
per pound and paper and scoop at
the same price. What do you call that
Alnd of a system? Good old repub.
llcan times, that's what they call It.
THESE, coal companies force the
miners in the mines; in bad air to
mine coal at something like 81
cents per -bushel and sell it back to
him at 8 cents per bushel at e.,mines
That is not much profit for them to
make and not touch the coal These
coal companies go SO far as to buy a
good stock il the wholesale concerns
SO they can rule ALL of these little
cash stores around and about their
mines so if a man buys stock of
goods from the wholesale house that
they own a share in and sell it to
the miners cheaper than they sell &.
at their. Rob Shop they just notify
the wholesale house and that man
cannot buy any more goods at that
house unless he agrees to sell at the
same price the company sells It at.
That is what the republican party
calls home protection, now the demo.
Gratis nave been talking about the
republican legislators making laws
against the poor people, Mr.. Democrat
yon must remember you have the
whole thing your way. we will sec
what you will do for the poor people
you have been harping around SO much
now it is up to, you to, do something
or. stop. your bowling. We have tried
the republican party for about four
teen years and things got worse all
the time in West Virginia. Now we
are going to give you a trial you have
got to do something or get down and
out. ID;

Judge John c. Pollock in the fifth

the two years which the government

made during that time careful prep.

Socialist press by muzzling Warren
and the Appeal to Reason.
One of the star witnesses of the
government was ex-governor TAYLOR.
for the kidnapping of whom Warren
offered the reward OF $1,000. The two
years which the government needed
for getting ready were, in reality,
spent in maneuyering to have Taylor
pardoned. so that. he might leave the
state of Indiana in safety. and then
brought to Kansas as a witness
against Warren =

The question Was one OF the issues
OF the War OF the Revolution, more

source of irritation between the two

The right of the Americans to take
fish along the New Foundland and
North Atlantic coast, equal with that
of the citizens of New Foundland and
Canada, was affirmed by the treaty OF
1878, but recently the government has
undertaken to restrict that right by
imposing certain regulations on tho
fishermen without the consent of the
United States, and with the obvious
purpose of forcing Americans TO buy
their bait from New Foundland This
