II we might be permitted to draw
on our imagination we would say
that II President Cleveland, who
characterized the Wilson tariff bill
as an act of "perfidy and dishonor"
could be here to advise his party

country, he would say In substance,
II am mortified with surprise and
disguised with the asslninity Of the
Democratic party in passing q tariff
bill more sweeping in It's provisions
than the Wilson bill which swept
our party from power and plunged
the country into n Of the worst in

THE FACTS ABOUT THE VIRGINIA
DEBT CASE.

The West Virginian repeats that
it cannot see the propricty of bring
ing the Virginia debt question into
the congressional race, but the Times
wants to make 1t an issue in this
campaign or any other that may fol-
low VIC welcome the issue and repeat
that If any party is to be charged
with derelictiOn in this matter 1t is
the Democratic party which allowed
this old claim to smOldcr for a quar-
ter of a century while that party
was in power and no attempt was
ever made by them to settle 1t or dis
pose of It. We again repeat that the
Republican administration was the
only administration that ever offered
any legal resistance to the payment
of. the claim. We ask the Times 1t
It was facing u suit for several mil
lion dollars If 1t would not employ
counsel to defend its rights and If 1t
blamcs a Republican governor, past
or present, for employing counsel to
defend the Virginia debt question:
We ask the Times II It knows OF any
man in the state better qualified by
reason OF his knowledgetof the
states history and its fiscal affairs
to give advice and counsel on this
matter than Ex-Governor Dawson
We have yet to be informed where
Mr., Dawson has made n legal or any
other sort Of blunder in his work in
this connection. What great error
has he permitted to be made that any
Democratic paper would have dis
covered?
We are compelled to smile, yes We
even feel like laughing out loud,
when our n~Gighbor, the Times, Scent
" shows such a lack Of knowledge
us to the part Ex-Governor MacCor'
kle played in the passage of the res
olution appointing a commission to
confer with Virginia (the bloateo
bond hoIders) on this question. The
Times is certainly in a position 10
know whether or not he was the
leader in pushing this resolution
We do, not now recall but we be-
lieve we are correct when we state
that Mr.. MaGCorkle was the indivtd-
ual who introduced this very resolu-
ton In the senate last winter, but

deny this assertion,

BACK TO H LAND.

Because of the high cost OF living
there has for a number Of years
been an effort made TO induce people
10 go to farming. Such advice /!
easy to give, but all men are not ca
pabIe of farming successfully. How
ever, those who have no experience
can soon learn II they will be gov
erned by the advice OF men Of expert
ence. Many of the failures are due
to extravaganza. Economies must
be practiced on the farm which are
considered unnecessary in the cities.
Common sense and a determination
to presevere will make the average
person a good farmer. Small fruit
and vegetable farms are peculiarly
adapted to city persons because the
work is lighter than on the large
farms and women and children can
assist in harvesting the crops. at
The same time tine inexperienced per-
sons should seek advice and follow
It. Then success is almost sure to
follow. Men make failures i'll all
lines of business as well as in farm
Ing unless they apply themselves,
therefore because some fail as tillcrs
Of the soil others should not be dis
couraged. 1t is the individual and
not the vocation which Is at fault.

Mr.. Townsend has not been slow
to grasp the true situation in the
First congressional district, and 1t is
greatly to his credit that he has had
the courage to make known his posi-
ton in the face OF Misrepresentation
When he says that the only effect
OF the Progressive movement In the
district will be to enhance the
chances OF. the Democratic nominee,
he speaks truly, and his statement is
in strict conformity with the belief
of all who have felt disposed to treat
the question frankly, and without
prejudice. Mr.. Townsend's indorsc-
mcnt, coming from u man who is a
known progressive in all ,things,
ought to have great weight in sllap-
ing the result of the special election

appeals to the sheep growers Of the
First West Virginia district 10 vote
in protection OF their own interest,
! AS a man who has thoroughly stud
led agricultural conditions, who
knows the possibilities Of West Vir'

entitled to a weight that cannot be
given to the expressions Of another
in this section, at least. What il
true of the sheep growers Of West
Virginia is true of every farmer,
Every important farming and indus
trial interest in the First district Is
threatened by the Underwood tariff

has suffered most and first, but 9TH

C~LEvELAND's EXPERIENCE.

We have a much higher opinion
of Grover Cleveland than the Times
seems to entertain for his wisdom.
Our neighbor seems to think that
Mr.. Cleveland, II he were alive to-
cay, would be well pleased with the
Underwood tariff bill. For the same
reason that a burnt child breads the
fire we believe that II he could pass
an opinion upon this bill he would
say ever more harsh things about 1t
than he did OF the Wilson bill which
he described as an act Of "pcrfidy
and dishonor."
II his conclusions on that occa-
sion were based on the fact that the
tariff was. not low enough to suit
him he soon discovered that 1t was
entirely too low to suit the country

Samuel G. Gist, president Of the Tri-
State Wool Growers and Sheep
Breeders Association. The Eame OF
Gist is known well and favorably
throughout the Pan Handle counties
Of West Virginia. 1t is typical OF the
solid, substantial, prosperous, enter
prising, educated farmer class that
has made this portion Of West Eir-
ginia and the adjoining counties OF
Pennsylvania and Ohio one OF the
richest agricultural sections in the
world. Concerning the effect OF the
Underwood bill, particularly from
the sheep growing industry of this
section, he says:
I'VE have weeds growing all over
the state where sheep are not kept;
and If these, weeds are not cut by
hand or machine II costs a vast sum.
