West Virginia Prospers Under Republican Policies
The article argues West Virginia's growth stems from Republican state and national policies, citing rising population and industrial output. It notes coal, coke, pig iron, lumber, and other resources expanding with protective tariffs, and it critiques Democratic opposition and local figures like Chilton and Watson, urging continued support for Republican governance. It also covers postal rate reform and the efficiency of the Post Office Department, endorsing a 1 cent per pound increase for second class mail with careful cost monitoring.
