In talking to long sighted
citizen from Winchester last
week, he advanced the idea that
as soon as the l.. d n. Extension

completed the business now done
by the l.. d K. would all 90 over
the new road, and what business
formerly done by the L. & E.
would be diverted by the Irvine
route. This means as he said,
the l.. Il K. then would be a dead
route. He further said the l.. q
N, only bought the road TO elm
mate competition, which it has
done. This sounds like the truth
to us. Then if the people along
the l.. d K. from Winchester to
Beattyville Junction stand still
and allow this sale to go through
they deserve nothing better. 1t

will get the business just the

ground that the state In SO doing Is
taking an undue advantage OF the

the Gazette set up the defense OF

that Diana did awaken Endymion, the

and the feel Of the drivers lash.
He would tell of the luxury Of a fly

when standing still In fly season, and
OF the boon to him OF screens in the
stable to keep out the insects that
bite and sting.

He would suggest that living
through a warm night in a narrow

He would say that turning the hose
on him Is altogether too risky a thing
to do unless you are looking for sick

a delightful summer diversion In his
description Of the follies OF the gods OF

Mount Olympus in the great gIee that
could only be prompted by their asso-
citation with the Gazette. The Gazette
handles the names of the multitudin.
GUS gods and goGesses about with more

WAGES AND THE TARIEE.

. The Phillips Tin Plate mill. which
is idle at Clarksburg on account OF
the. strike OF the employees. Is one OF
the biggest industries in the country
and has been built up by a protective
tariff policy. The tin plate business
In the United States has mace most
wonderful growth under a protective
policy and affords an army Of men
employment at good wages. without
protection this industry could not
have been developed, nor the product
sold In competition with the product
OF Wales and other foreign countries
where cheap labor enters SO largely
into the cost OF production
! II protection does not help the
American .laboring man 1t would in
fact be an unjust tax upon the con.
sumner. It would, be Tal most unjust
burden 'itfthis tax was collected only
to the. enrichment OF the manufactur.
i,er, andIit would likewise be unjust
1.-THE tariff was large enough TO stifle
competition and bring about the for.
nation of trust, but in the case OF
tin this has not been the result. and
the benefit that labor has derived
from this policy as applied to the tin
plate industry is well shown by the
liberal wages paid by the Phillips Tin
Plate Mills. AT Clarksburg the strike
was not called on account of any wage
dispute, but upon the question ii
recognition Of the union. The men
there were satisfied with their wages
and some Of the rollers were getting
as high as $500 per day, 1t Is said
and none Of the rollers received less
than $500 for days work. Common
iaborers are paid in no case less than
$3.50 per day. Such wages as these
enables the common laborer to bring
up his family in comparative comfort
and gives the skilled laborer the
means with which to provide not onl,
the. necessities OF life, but an abund
ance OF the luxurles.
Wipe out the tariff on tin and the
wages OF these men will necessaril,
have to be adjusted, and adjusted
downward.

Ing, or equalize its cost with the earn

point the Dominion raises is that the
law says that such ownership is only
prohibited when the roads are com.
'peting" and since. the B. K N. has not

road with the B. & o.. and therefore
Abe B. & o. does not have to sell its
Stock. II the Dominion will read that

that no parallel or competing" road

There might be some question as to
the B. & N. being competing road

TO its being a parallel line.

Since an election will be necessary
