vice or direction in question Of law. All
this Mr.. jenkins knows.
1t is idle, then, for him to claim the priv
ileges and immunities Of an attorney at law
in this case "a case in which there was no
law, no court, no client, no advice, no
counsel, mo anything, in fact, to seal his
lips as privileged officer Of the law. His
refusal, therefore, to answer the questions
put to him by the committee, should be
treated as willful contempt Of the House.
1t is due to the dignity, integrity and honor
of the members of that body to see to
it that their rules are enforced; that
no dodge or subterfuge Of the
sort iuterposed be effectual to cover up
the fraud, bribery and corruption employ
ed to put through the infamous Funding
bill of last session. Probe the iniquity to
the bottom, let the consequences rest where
they may. Let US see who is seeking the

MR. PORTER, member of Congress from

MR. PORTER, member of Congress from
this district, presented to the House, on
Tuesday last, a remonstrance from Messrs.
H. L. Pelouze & Co., type-founders in
this city, and others, workmen in their es-
adjustment, against any change in the
tariff laws abating the duties on printing
types, now SO successfully produced in
American foundries and praying repeal
of all duties on the raw materials used In
the production of type-namely, tin, anti
mony and type metal-so that home indus
tries may be fostered and protected.
We are glad to see the manufacturers of
Virginia taking some independent
action in this matter of protection to
American industry. 1t is only few years
ago, that it was impossible to get either
newspaper or jobbing type in this country
that would compare in beauty of face and
quality of finish with the English type,
and the consequence was that both Ameri-
can books and American journals fell far
below the English in the perfection to
which the printing art was carried. A
judiciously-laid tariff, however, has changed
all this and now the American press, both
in tho newspaper and book-printing depart
ments, is ahead of the English. The AL
DINE, published by Sutton & Co., in New
York city, is incomparably the finest pic
torial in the world, and no English work
can match it in typographical execution.
All This has come from protection to
American type-founders.

purchased in New England, where labor
was less abundant, and therefore better
compensated. Hence, the clamor against
the tariff in 1881, its virtual repeal i'll 1888,
and the financial and commercial prostra-
ton, and the languishing of home industry
which followed.
''But now the whole situation is changed.
Under system of free labor, Southern in-
dustry must become more diversified. Our
source of real, substantial wealth lies IN the
development of the natural resources vi tho

facturing-always equal To those Of Masss-

we must avail ourselves of these latent re.

terial. To do this readily and successful
ly, we must have protection to home indus
try, just as the Northern States had N
1916, 1926, and 1881.
"We are, therefore, more interested in
protection than are the people Of Massa-
chusetts. We are more interested be-
cause, being nearer the productive region,
and in all other respects equal, manutac-
turing will ultimately become more profit

SOUTHERN PROTECTION.

The question of protection to the indus
trial interests of the South is fast gaining .
hold upon the public attention. One by
one the thinking men of this once strong
free-trade section of the Union, are giving in
their adhesion to the doctrine of protection.
This is as it should be. The times have
changed since the great free-trade minds of
the South advocated a non-protective poli-
cy for their section. Then the
North was furnishing the Southern section
with nearly everything in the manufacturing
line, and the policy Of the South was to
guard and protect only the few great agri-
cultural staples which contributed SO much
to her wealth, prosperity, and power.
But with the large manufacturing industries
springing up at the South--all over the
South, in fact-and moro than successfully
competing with their northern rivals in the
local trade of their section, we find grow
ing advocacy of the American system for
the Southern States, and an ADLER promul-
CATION of protection than now finds express
sion in the Northern mind.
Among the ablest of these advocates,
we must class the editor of the Atlanta
Era, who not only fearlessly advocates pro-
lection as Southern idea, but gives US an
exhibition of good strong common sense
in hauling those persons over the gridiron
of free-trade, who fear to change, and still
cling to the ghost Of defnnct idea, as well
as defunct party, in the South. The fol-
lowing is taken from recent issue of that
paper:
"Who can estimate the pertinacity and
power of one illogical prejudice? Blind,
stolld, indifferent, sullen, and self-sufficient,
it stands insensible to ridicule and imper-
vious to reason. Forty years ago free
trade was chief among the catch words of
the sectional Democracy. 1t was section
ally popular, because it then responded to
q sectional interest. The South was agri-
| cultural. Its source of wealth was the
cotton plant. Slave labor shaped the whole
political economy of the State. Men raised
cotton because it was, under the system Of
labor then in vogue, more profitable than
manufacturing. We wanted no protec-
tive tariff because we neither had nor ex-
| pected to have any manufacturing interest
| to protect. We wanted free trade because
that brought European fabrics into unequal
competition with American. We could,
but for the tariff, import cotton and wooden
fabrics from Europe, where labor was so
abundant and cheap, than they could be

A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS.


We are gratifed at every new suggestion
by our contemporaries, Of an easy and
practicable way OF paying off the State
debt 4; and more particularly gratifed,
when these suggestions are novel, ingenius,
and full of the pith and marrow of cash
payment. The "State Pig" project, sug-
gested to us few days age, lacked these
grand essentials of pith and marrow and
the consequence was, that we poked fun at
it, as we should have done.
A new mode is now suggested, and
one entirely practicable, and within the
reach Of Virginia's proudest citizens"
as that term is now defined under the con-
stitution. The " sixty-five thousand girls
of Virginia now taking music lessons" are
the "boys" to do it, and no mistake. And
they can do it as easy as they can turn
their hands over, and great deal easier
than they can make their fingers fly along
the keys of piano, or thrum guitar, or
even trip it divinely over the strings of SO
vulgar an instrument as the harp. All
that they will haveto do, in fact, is to keep
their blessed little digits Still, and the cork
Is done.
If any of them, however, should be so
unfortunate as to have the 81. VIus's
dance, or any other dgital infrmity, by
which it would be impossible for them to
keep their fingers still, they might be treat
ed as ''exempts" in the financial service Of
the State, without interfering in the least
with the grand scheme of liquidation and
payment suggested. In fact, if only two
thirds of them will come into this non-dig-
ital scheme Of paying off the public debt,
the work is already TN fat accomp6.
Our State bonds will instantly leap up to
par in the monetary markets of the world,
and the glorious old Commonwealth of
Virginia will rank once more as among the
first Republics, in financial integrity and
honor, upon the face of the earth.
1t is shown conclusively that this is a
practical way of paying the debt. 1t costs
each of these music girls of Virginia fifty
dollars year to thus ply their digits. Il
only two-thirds of them will stop this
very tiresome exercise of theirs, it will DO 3
saving to the State of 100000 year
and this sum will not only pay off the in
terest on the State debt, but speedily re-
duce the principal to manageable proper
tons by the people.
Now, young misses, there's chance fol
you. You can pay off the State debt with
out lifting finger, if you will. The mel
give it up as a bad job--as something be
yond their financial chivalry to accomplish
and you are appealed to in their extremi
ty as the glorious liquidators of the Stat
debt. Will you not come to the rescue
Will you not couch your lanccs, and rid
to the front? The day is yours if you d
,, it, and the glory of your achievement vii
be, that you did it toithom lifting a. finger
, by the mere moral force of your presenc
in the financial world.

THE Connecticut Democracy have como
to the "new departure" only after it has
failed everywhere else. Wherever it has
been tried in other States, it has resulted in
signal disaster to the party. 1t has lost
them States which they had before tri-
umphantly snatched from the Republicans,
and has whitfield down their majorities in
the States they still retain. What the De-
mocrscy of the "Nutmeg State" expect to
gain by taking up this "dead cock in the

their friends here in Virginia. They have,
