VALUE OF WIG PREDICTIONS.

The ideas we threw Out yesterday, as 10 Inc
fruits of the new Tariff, are confirmed by The
Washington correspondent OF The Baltimore Sun
(Neulral) The editor of The Wing N. \. tx
press comedies that The Tariff of 1916 will bring
in a revenue Of thirty millions, instead OF SIX
teen or twenty millions, IS predicted by The Wing
panic makers. Blu, the country ariA be prospect
Gus, and the revenue ,cai come in, in spite ofthe
attempts OF Wing politicians to depreciate the
credit of the Government and make bankrupt
the national resources
"The opposition, d, the commencement Of
the session, prophesied that The tariff OF 1916
would, a, The utmost, yield not over go O00,0aO
pcr annuzn and in all probability only 100000;
and il was for this reason that Mr.. Webster pro-
missed his Massachusetts friends, and those he had
made over dinnertable in Philadelphia, that on
The very first day Of the session. ne would bring in
bill Tor ab-osaiing The tariff OF 1886 and Ie-es-
lablishng that OF ls43 Mr.. Webster has done
no such Thing; neither has he spoken or called up
the resolutions he introduced in regard 10 The war.
"The fact is, The prophe.ies OF the opposition
in regard to the tariff have been wholly contra
dcted by the receipts OF The various Custom
houses in The Union. The revenue in six ports
only-and tina, not for The iull quarter, but only
Tor eleven weeks, has exceeded The revenue Of last
year Tor The same period by 1923 600, and will, no
doubt exceed that same revenue in all the ports
OF the United States, and for the full quarter, by
more than million; demonstrating thus the cor
rectness vi THE estimates Of the Secretary OF The
Treasury, who sci the revenue OF the whole year
down al S2S, DOC, 900, with fair chance ofreach-
ing $50, COO 900. On the whole The admnistra-
lion is in position to abide The issue, and 10
rest lis claims 10 The confidence and support OF
The country 90 the figures which it will be able
to present 10 the next Congress"

Messrs. Editors Permit me, through the ne
dunn OF your columns, 10 make a few brief re-
marks 10 the citizens OF Amelia. The Spring
Election is near al hand, and as yet, The Demo
erals OF The county have no candidate. II may
be thought by some uliras that am hasly in this
remark, as our present representative (Mr.
Haryie) has declared himself 10 be candidate Tor
reelection. Every man nearly with whom |
have conversed, has declared, in language the
most decided, that he will support any other man
Of capabity and honesty sooner than Mr. Har
vie. The various reasons Tor this are too many
and lengthy 10 be detailed here; but il is sufficient
TO stale, that he has rendered himself unpopular
in the means employed Tor eeciing our United
States Senators. |, for one, am like yourself,
Nlessrs. Editors and the Democratic Editors OF
Lynchbulg, well pleased with our Senator'S, for
believe them 10 be true Republicans, and firm
supporters OF all the cardinal principles OF the
Democratic party bur, with all their virtue and
fidelity, do not approve The manner OF their
promotion. In This case the maxim that The
end does not Justify the means istrue beyond dis
pue: and, in saying SO, ! feel | am utlefins The
sentiments of The entire Democratic party, cx-
cepling few scattering u,ras, who intend giving
their support 10 MIR. HaWie, right OF wrong. Ny
purpose then Tor asking short space IN your
paper, stc call upon The party throughout The
county, to NEE, at Amelia Court House on March
Court day, Tor the purpose of selecting some suit
able and available man, who can embody the
votes OF the Democratic party. IL is much 10 be
hoped that Mr.. Harvie will retire 10 The 'shairs
OF private life" AM il he has tie interest OF the
Democracy a, heart, he will. BY being candi-
date, he will mol Only defeat himself, and forever
loo; but he may also cause Mr.. William L.
Booker, the Wing candidate, to be elected; and
God deliye. us IRON such an event. and whilst
say it, do mol intend casting any reflection; Tor

be speedily terminated upon terms Just and homo
rable 10 both nations; and, whereas, assurances
have heretofore been given 10 the Government oil
Mexico that il was The desire OF The President 10
settle all questions between the two countries on
the most liberal and satisfactory terms according
to the rights OF each, and mutual interests and Sc
curity of the Two countries; and, whereas, The
President may be able 10 conclude lIeaiy Of
peace with the Republic Of Mexico prior 10 The
next session Of Congress, if means for that object
are al his disposal; and whereas, in the adj ust-
ment OF so many complicated questions as now
exist between the Two countries, il may possibly
happen that an expenditure Of money will be
called for by the siipulaliors ofany treaty which
may be entered into therefore, the sum oilhree mil

We are among those who hail The passage o

the three million bill with the most sincere graft
ficalion (says The Union.) |, behooves the char
ac,er and position OF this country 10 do everything
which can honorably be done 10 aid the conclu
sion OF satisfactory treaty of peace with Mexi-
CO. We entertain no doubt whatever that this
measure will conduct 10 such result. Proper
in itself, and sanctioned by precedents of The
highest authority, it has from The first strongly
commended itself 10 The favorable consideration
of the people. Had il been complicated with no
other questions few men could have donbted its
expediency. And now that The Wilmot proviso
discussion has al last resulted in nothing, we be-
lieve that liile effort will be made hereafter 10
conceal The unseasona bleness and the unsuitable
ness Of tina. proposition.
