Startling Figures.

Democratic prosperity is shown by
the following figures. quoted from
Dunn's Review showing that there were
s, 1884 failures during the first six months
of the present year, with liabilities of
$l85, 099, 730, and that for the month OF
April, May and June, 1914, the average
liability of firms failing was SIS, 1876,
the largest since 1893, and double the
average of all the years since 1893.
Quoting from the Railroad Employer
showed that on June LIST, 1914. there
was from $4,000 to 200, 900 railroad
employees idle. in addition to the large
number whose working hours were re-
duced and their income lessoned. That
there were so, 90S idle cars on May 3lst,
1913, and 241, 1902 on May 31st, 1914, ex-
ceeding the previous year by 100000
more than were idle before the Under
wood Simmons tariff law went into eff
feet.
1t is contended that there are today
5000, 900 working men idle and that
American wage earners were losing
$4,000, 600 each day the Democratic
party was in power, and this loss was
effecting every branch and artery of
our financial, industrial and CONNER
cial system.
The West Virginia Drys had their
inning Tuesday and Wednesday. In
stead of suit cases they had a brass
band and a glee club: They travelled
via automobile. They were sober, not
drunken. They dined not, nor supped
or lodged at Hotel de Scott, at the
expense of Garrett county. They
travelled first class, paid their bills and
returned home with clear breath, clean
clothes and in good physical condition.
Come again, gentlemen. The county is
yours. Your crowd was hard on police
| officers and justices of the peace, and
lawyers. Such as you would send the
above to the county poor house or drive
them out of business but YOUR welcome
all the same. You should have
stopped in Oakland as other Virginians
do,-the whisky drinking. Jail filling,
drunken visitors do-just to show
contrast, just to let US see how dry
West Virginian looks and acts. We
have seen the drunken, staggering kind
and are disguised. They are mighty
poor sample of the citizenship of your
State. Wen send them home sober
after April 80, 1915.
