CANADIANS OPPOSE
RECIPROCITY BILL
A Landslide Vote Against the Liberal
Party I'm Canada Means Defeat OF
Reciprocity Measure.

Reciprocity Measure.
Montreal, Sept. 21.-The Laurier
government and reciprocity suffered
an overwhelming defeat in the Ca
madam elections today.
BY veritable political landslide,
the Liberal majority of 43 was swept
away and the Conservative party Sc
cured one of the heaviest majorities-
upward of 5O-that any Canadian
party has ever had. Seven cabinet
ministers who have served with Pre-
mier Laurier were among the defeat
ed candidates.
The Liberals lost ground in prac-
ion. Where they won, their majorities
were small. Where the Conservatives
won, their majorities were tremen
dous. Ontario, the leading province
of Canada, declared almost unani-
mously against the administration and
reciprocity.
Borden Next Premier.
Robert l.. Borden, leader of the
Conservative party, will shortly be-
come remier of Canada. He will be
supported in parliament by a work
ing majority of far more than ample
for his purpose.
The government defeat means that
the FieldngKnox reciprocity agree
ment. atiled by the American con-
gress in extra session, will not be in
troduced when the 18th parliament
assemblies next month, and that a re-
vised basis of trade with the United
States, looking to closer CONNER
ciai relationship, will not be possible
in the Immediate future. The Con-
servatives are committed to policy
or trade expension within the en-
pire and a closed door against the
United States.
Lap-ier TO Retire.
Although reelected in two con-
stituencies. the defeat of the Liberals
also means the retirement from pub
lie life of Wilfrid Laurier, who for
nearly two decades had directed the
destinies of the Dominion. Several
times during the bitter campaign
which preceded today's election the
venerable premier said that defeat Of
his party at the pools means the end
of his career.

A VICTIMS TESTIMONY
A Laborer Who Hasn't Forgotten

Laborer Who Hasn't Forgotten
Previous Pirches.
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 81
worth and everything would be cheap,
but 1t has turned out that American
labor was che 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 q condition.
My advice to the workingman is:
Don't be fooled ,hto voting for a low
tariff officeseeker, because you will
get the worst of it if 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
is tho good Of cheaper products when
there is 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
coed by the fair promises and alleged
advantages Of Tower TARIFF"

Advances the Spells Argument.
Already Democratic brethren are
Beginning to smack their lips over
the prospect OF filling the various Of.
Noes that belong to the house OF rep
resentatives at Washington. The re-
doubtable George w. Summers, who
contributes syndicated article to
the Democratic press OF the state, es-
Inmates that there are about 900 good
Jobs that Will be open to Democrats,
and he thinks West Virginia should
get some OF these. Mr.. Summers calls
the roll Of the various positions,
fixes the value in dollars and cents
or each one. and concludes his inter.
eSting summary as follows:
1T looks like clean sweep of all
the present 900 employees or more,
and the replacing of them by GOOD
Democrats. And 1t also looks as
though there would be some West
Vlrginians among the 900 or more
employees to be named by Democratic
congressman. At any rate, with the
or 1nsurgent, and with none but
"stand-patters" running ON the Repub-
Hcan ticket in West Virginia for con-
eress, the chances Of West Virginia
Democrats for filling some of these
POSITIONS are much more flattering
than the chances Of any Republican
from West Virginia getting any Of
them in the next house." = = -
This gives n pretty fair understand
Ing OF the aims, purposes and objects
of Democracy in West Virginia. Ex-
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-
talued 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 its pension rolls. 1t 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
poration lobbyists. The prospect OF
a few jobs to be scattered around
may serve to bring new life for
ohort time to this purifying political
body, but even the jobs, however
abundant, viii not be able to revive
It permanently.

GOOD ROADS.

1t goes without saying that
Morgan is the best agricultural
county in the State. 1t has more
and better tillable acres than any
mountain county. The only
drawback is its miserable roads.
If the people of this, and the
ether mountain counties, could
but realize the actual value of
good roads, if they could have a
demonstration of the advantages
good roads are to the farmer
the every day actual cash advan-
tages they would start a good
roads agitation that be so cease
less and persistent that it would
succeed. The writer spent sew
eral months in Putnam county,
Indiana, recently, and was as
founded at the tax the people of
that county WILLINGLY paid for
good roads. In Clinton town
ship the road tax alone is $1.10
on the hundred dollars more
than our State and county taxes
but they get good roads. They
are condemning and abandoning
gravel roads that we would call
ideal, on account of slight grades,
and rebuilding with limestone
macadam, and after plans equal
railroad grading in the engineer
ing AS a matter of topograph-
ical necessity we can not elimi-
the hills, but scientific engineer
ing would so overcome them that
good grades could be obtained.
1t will cost money to build
good roads, but they are worth
it. Good roads bring the mar
ket for your products to your
door, saves you from isolation
and gives you many of the ad-
vantages of city life without any
of its disadvantages. They great
ly enhance the value of your
property.
In the Indiana county above
named when the work of build
ing good roads began, land was
selling at from twenty to forty
dollars per acre, now it rates at
from forty to eighty, and going
up in price still.
Let's start a movement for
good roads in the mountains. and
demand of the next Legislature
such changes in the road laws as
will give such localities as desire
to do so to tax and bond them
selves to build good roads.

f Before many weeks shall have
passed the COURIER will contain

how Morgan county may have a
system of telephones reaching to
even the remotest parts of the
county, and at cost, after the
initial building expense, of not
two dollars per- year to each sub
scriber. This plan is not a theory
but has been proven by actual
experience. Next to good roads
the telephone is the greatest
