cause of their fear that the loss of it

THE constituents of Gov. McCorkle
are still expressing their indignation at
the course of the governor in abandon-
ing the position he occupied last fall on
the subject of protection, and it begins
to look as if the Democracy of West Vir-
ginia was badly divided upon the tariff.
Gov. McCorkle finds it more difficult than
he thought to run with the hare and hunt
with the hounds. His honest party

denounce the tariff as an iniquitous fraud

Tae President of the United States is a
Democrat. The Senate is Democratic by
a majority of 5. The House is Demo-
cratic bv a majority of 84. The Demo-
cratic platform on which these majori-
ties were secured promised the repeal of
the Sherman act. The Republican mi-
nority has heen prepared to note for the
repeal of the Sherman act at any hour of
any day since Congress first assembled
The Sherman act is not yet repealed, and
the Democratic apologists for this Demo
cratic betrayal of trust are screaming
that the Republican minority prevents
the passage of the Repeal bill. Do they
take the people for fools?—N.Y. Trib-
une. .
THE increased activity shown by train
robbers has had the effect of pntting the
railroad companies on their guard. Two
attemps to rob have been frustrated. and
apparently the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road escaped an unpleasant experience
near Pittsburg by being forewarned and
forearmed. It is well for the railroad
companies to take precantions commen-
surate with the danger, but the Govern-
ment should take a hand also. There is
a bill pending to give the National Gov-
ernment special power in such cases in
the interest of inter-state commerce. It
ought to be passed. It is of far more
vital and present interest than the repeal
of the election laws, which is occupying
the attention of the House of Represen-
tatives to the exclusion of everything
else.—Philadelphia Press.
A rEw weeks since the Democrats
were howling that this was a silver panic
and that no change for the better was
to be anticipated until the Sherman law
was repealed. Having, as they thought,
impressed this belief upon the country, a
portion of the Senators of that party de-
termined, notwithstanding the charge
that it was the cause of all our troubles,
that the bill shall not be repealed and so
far they have succeeded in their object.
But the money panic has passed by, the
scare has gone. money is abundant, and
the fact is patent that silver was not the
trouble. Mills are silent. business re-
mains prostrated, thousands are out of
employment, not because of the money
panic, but because of the threatened de-
struction of our manufacturing and min-
ing industries by the passage of a Demo-
cratic free trade bill.—Somerset Herald.
TrE claim has always been made that
the political party now in power was the
party of the people. It has been set up
as such and held up as sach with a species
of idolatrous worship; as representing
the masses, the wage earners and the
toilers, and a class distinction was made
between them and the rich. This exists
no more. The sham fabric has been
swept from the political workshop. The
party now in power represents the rich,
not the poor. It is a party of the few,
not of the masses. Let the wage earners
and the toilers consider what tiiey have
received for their votes. Work? No.
Employment? No. Food? No. Mon-
ey? No. Loss of work? Yes. Loss of
employment? Yes. Loss of food? Yes.
Loss of money? Yes. The promises
made to them before election have not
been kept, but they have got the sure and
true returns from their votes with full
compound interest. But they are not all
served alike. The rich of their party are
It is a matter of history that during
the long period of Republican supremacy
from the end of the war to 1893 the aver-
age rate of wages steadily increased, and
the cost of living diminished. What will
be the record of four years of Democratic
supremacy, from the present outlook ?—

well cared for. The man with money,
but with one vote onlv, has safely in-
vested his money, but the masses with
their many votes may starve. The Pres-
ident of the people's party, so mis-named,
has no use now for the votes of the mass-
es. but he has been bought with the mon-
ey of the rich man whom he sends as an
Ambassador to Italy to represent the peo-
ple at Rome. The people's representa-
tive at the court of Rome is to be a rich
man who has bought and paid for his
position with money—with cold cash. Is
this a fit representative for the people,
for the wage earners. for the honest
masses? Eradicate such rascals. They
do not represent the people, they are the
party of the few. Pull down the golden

Democracy’s Responsibility.
From the N. Y. Press.
A few sillv Democratic organs are still
trying to humbug their readers by cack-
ling about the “distrust” eansed by the
Sherman law. The sham is threadbare.
It is time that it was dropped.
The Sherman law has not caused the
“distrust” that has closed hundreds of
factories, bankrupted thousands of firms
and impoverished multitudes of Ameri-
can citizens. Under a Republican ad-
ministration we had the Sherman law in
full operation with marked commercial
prosperity and the most encouraging in-
dustrial development. The Sherman law
has given valuable assistance to the West-
ern silver industry, and furnished the
country with about one hundred and fifty
millions of urgently needed currency,
every dollar of which is equal in pur-
chasing power to the gold dollar today.
With Benjamin Harrison in the White
House the nation knew that the integrity
of every dollar earned by toil would be
protected by the whole power of the na-
tional government. It knew that the Re-
publican President stood ready to issue
bonds to any amount that was necessary
to maintain the public credit. It knew
that President would never
sign a bill framed to prostrate American
industry and degrade the wages of Amer-
ican labor to the level of foreign pauper-
ism. The merchant, the banker, and the
wage earner

pursued their callings in
confidence and security, conscious that
behind their just interests there was all
the might and all the credit of the nation.
The triumph of Democracy swept away
every one of these safeguards. The poli-
ticians who had threatened to destroy
protection and beggar labor came into
office with full power to execute their
threat. The President stubbornly refused
to issue bonds to maintain the Treasury
reserve, and deliberately sacrificed the
business interests to make an ‘‘object
lesson.” The country knows the rest.
The responsibility for the loss and de-
struction of the last six months belongs
not to the Sherman law, but to Grover
Cleveland and the Democratic party.
Lament of the Unemployed.
Backward, turn backward, OQ Time, in your flight,
Let the mill whistles sound promptly tonight;
Just as they sounded anear and abroad
Before we had voted Protection a fraud.
Let the smoke pour again out of the stacks
And we'll pay without murmur “the dinner-pail
tax,”
No one will grumble and no one will shirk,
If you'll just give us work, Grover, just give us
work.
We have grown tired of walking the street,
Little ones waiting for something to eat;
Tired of hearing our Congressmen spout,
Tired of reading you've got the gout.
So if you care for us, as you pretend,
Why don’t you hustle so matters will mend?
Danger and suffering in idleness lurk,
Give us some work, Grover, give us some work.
If it’s true that the Tariff was robbing us sure,
And with it prosperity could not endure,
Since we all voted for it, now isn’t it strange
That not the first man of us has any “change?”
Except in condition, for it’s true that we all
Have lost the good jobs we were holding last fall.
Skilled artisan, laborer, book-keeper, clerk,
We're all out of work, Grover, all out of work.
If it’s true, as they say, that impatient yon yearn
To do the poor man of your land a good turn.
Why don’t you just do it, not talk through your
hat?
And then the dear people will know “what
you're at.”
Say that Wree Traders mav clamor in vain:
Say that the Tariff unchanged shall remain,
Loud. clear, and plain, without quibble or quirk,
And we'll all go to work, Grover, all go to work.
—F, 8. RANDALL.
Soothsaying.
In ancient times every monarch and
prince, great or little, kept his soothsay-
ers, or at least had recourse to some per-
son who pretended to read the future in
the stars or somewhere else. We have
still persons who assume to be able to
foretell the future, but the great differ-
ence between past ages and the present
in this regard is that then the great and
often wise men of the earth believed in
the soothsayers, while now only the fool-
ish and feeble have any confidence in
them.
The decline in the credit and honor of
soothsaying dates in a considerable meas-
ure, perhaps, from a certain performance
of John Galeazzo, Duke of Milan. Ile,
too, had a soothsayer. One day the read-
er of the stars came to him and said:
“My lord. make haste to arrange your
earthly affairs.”
“And why shall I do that?” asked the
Duke.
“Because the stars tell me that you
have not long to live.”
“Indeed! And what do the stars tell
you about your own lease of life?” asked
the Duke John.
*“They promise me many years more of
life.”
“They do?”
‘So I bave read them, my lord.”
“Well, then,” said the Duke, ‘it ap-
pears that the stars know very little
about these things, for you will be hanged
within half an hour!”
He sent the soothsayer to the gallows
with promptness, and lived many years
