keeping few Of its readers in ignorance of I
the merits of this important national qucs-
ton, but the mass of mechanics and labor
ers, even in Virginia, are too well informed
to receive any impression, save scorn, by
being told about "munching scanty DIM
ncr out of taxed bucket.'' Let the ope-
ratives in the cotton mills at Manchester be
enabled to purchase their sheets at a reduc-
ton of 81 per cent, by allowing the free
importation Of fabrics manufactured at
Manchester, in Great Britain, and even the
Youngest Of them well know their occnpa-
ton is gone, and if the meal be now scanty
in the taxed bucket, their labor thenceforth
would not keep them from actual starva-
ton.
Make coal and iron free, and what would
become of the enormous interests collecting
along the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, from the success of which Rich
mond looks, and looks with confidence for
immense advantages to herself. If the
wealthy and powerful manufacturing inter-
ests in the Northern States, and the NIL
lions of skilled and busy artisans there en-
ployed, dread the blghting effect OF free
trade, and meet foreign subsidies and art-
flee to secure its adoption, by earnest effort
and ceaseless vigilance what would be the
deadly influence upon our infant manulac-
turing industry, which lacking capital, skill,
and even local support, is bravcly battling
for life and growth. Let the wishes of the
New York free traders (of which let us
charitably suppose the Enquirer is the I'M
conscious advocate become realities, and
the James will flow from source to mouth
idly useless, save to convert corn into meal
for the scanty dinner eaten out of an un-
taxed bucket.
If the tax on tobacco is so very object
ionable to the Enquirer, we ask it to adj
dress its appeal for relief to European gov
ernments which, without exception, levy
, much higher rate Of tax upon this staple
than the United States. We ask it to say
to Great Britain-gve us free trade in to-
bacco, as an earnest of your sincerity IL
: asking us TO give you free trade in cotton
e fabrics, iron, salt, &c. Then the PROPOSE
ton might be considered, perhaps adopted
but at present, free trade for Virgins
means naught but ruin to the mechanic anc
. manufacturer, humiliation of home indus
. try. for the benefit of foreigners.

The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1871-10-02

THE STATE JOURNAL devotes large space IN
its editorial column to an attack on John H.
STROLLER, ESQ. Therea object of this move is to
put the party lash on those more Intelligent ana
better disposed Republicans who wish and In
tend to support John r. Strother.
After reading the above from the Gull
pepper Observer we determined, like the
character in comedy, 'snover to do good
natured thing again." Had we imagined
for moment that our criticism upon the
arithmetcal problem which appeared in the
columns of the Observer, would prevent
"some of the most respectable of the Re-
pubicans" in Culpeper voting for Hon.
John r. Strother, we, of course, should
have forborne our inquiry as to the process
by which the O6seaver arrives at the re-
suit that 95 is minority Of 1873; but it was
puzzle we could not solve we therefore
asked for information, and repeat oar IN
curry.
But our most prominent good natured in
tent seeing the Observer was profoundly
disgusted with the legislation of the inajori-
ty Tor minority, according to the Obs@ca)in
the last General Assembly-was to inform
the voters of Gulpeper, that, from the re-
cerd, there was some discrepancy between
the position of Hon. John r. Suother, and
that assumed for him by the Observer.
We simply reaffirm our previous statement
that the Democratic party in the last I.egis-
ture, with which Mr.. Strother acted so 10y
ally, was not only in majority, but had
a clear two-thirds majority of 95 Democrats
to 43 Republicans and is absolutely re.
sponsible for the entire legislation which
the people of Culpeper, and their organ, the
O5sever, so strongly condemn.
We do not attack Mr.. Strother as an in
dividual nor as candidate and desire that
if he is reelected it shall be by the votes Of
any who choose to vote for him, but we
do attack the position of the Obserre,, that
Republicans controlled the legislation OF
last session, and are responsible for meas
ures which the people of Culpeper con-
denim; when the facts show beyond con-
troversy, that the Democrats, so far from
being minority of the General Assembly,
held absolute control by clear two-thirds
majority. The Observer may answer OF
not, but we shall correct its arithmetical
errors, if it cannot, or will not do so itself

whether the rate of taxation for 1871 is an in
