THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 10, 1873


Our friends must excuse us for not giving
them a flaming hot editorial to-day, on
the ten thousand 'coming men" in Vir-
ginia, who are to be made Governors IN
spite of the Fates and their unlucky stars.
The PQrce were not more relentless in
their purpose than some Of our local con-
temporaries, in holding the political DIS
taft, spinning the attenuated thread, and
cutting it off with the fatal scissors at the
precise intervals at which it should be cut.
The great agony and source Of all per-
spiration with them is, to get rid of carpet
bag government in Virginia. As we had
nothing to do in imposing this sort of
government upon the unhappy people of
the state, we do not propose to get down
on our marrowbones and ask forgiveness
Of our political sins in that or any other
personal regard. There is no disputing
about tastes--de guStibus, etc.-but we
think it is little rough on our present
chief magistrate, who has served his party
friends much better than they have served
him, to berate carpet-bag governments in
the unqualified and unceremonious way
that some of our contemporaries do.
And, then, to pile up the agony-anx-
ous, perspiratory, and perstreperous
agony--editorially, is not enough with
them. The local or Bohemian columns
catch up the pestringent string, and drive
away at semi-edtorials. flaming headlines,
and pertinacious interviews of all sorts of
celebrities, !" in order to evolve the COM
ing question with the coming man'O in
advance Of its evolution at the hands of
some other Darwinian politician or philos-
opher, as the question of politics or phios-
ophy may be uppermost in the minds eye.
All these little editorial adjuncts operate
as powerful sudorifcs, to swear and sweat
over as the summer solstce is at hand, but
we prefer lemonade and ice water as ae-
compartments to the "vertical ray,o tc
keep us as reasonably cool as oul
pertinent moisture will allow.
While our neighbors are in all this equi
noctial sweat and broil, firing their flaming
editorials at the more luminous sun-dog
at present haloing the political sky, w
propose to keep entirely !" cool )" map on
the little work of making the next Governo
of the state from the best Virginia materia
we can find. thereby helping our Conser'
vative friends to get rid Of the carpet-ba
government they SO much abhor-and
putting up such other little "jobs" as
shall make the breasts of our contempora-
ries happy in the consciousness that Vir
ginia is herself again. and that no terrible
carpet-bagger shall ever revisit these Shores
to brighten the native element from its
heath, or drag down the proud Virginia
bird from his native quarry in the sky.
We feel that our mission is glorious one,
and look forward with more than prophetic
assurance that the days of carpet-baggism
and scalawaggery are numbered in Vir-
pinia

IN all the United States, according to
the census report, there are only $4,000
persons of all ages employed in the manu-
facture of woollen goods. The entire pro.
duct of manufactured woollen is valued at
$l55, 900, 900, and the entire capital invested
in that business is but sos, 0O0,0 900, much
of which is nominal in the shape of water
ed stock. The entire wages Of the per-
sons employed in the manufacture Of WOOL
len goods is about $50, 900, 900 a year.
The relations which wool have TO
corn may be seen in the follow
ing statistics. The farmers of Illinois,
for instance, have invested III cultivated
land, 1914, 100000, and the working of
this land gives employment to $4,000
hands. Two counties in that state have an
annual surplus of breadsuffs more than
sufficient to feed every man, woman and
child engaged in the whole United States in
the manufacture of iron, woollen and cotton
goods. In view of these statistics, per-
haps the farmers have some reason for
finding fault with that sort of legislation
which encourages home manufactures, but
fails to help them single dollar.
But this ground of complaint would soon
disappear, if the people of that section
would 60 to work, under the tariff, and
create few such home markets as large
centres of manufacturing and trade would
give them. This would be the best possi-
BILE solution to the transportation problem
with the agricultural population OF the
West. The effect of free trade is 10
shove the markets and manufacturing
centres Of the world at so great a
distance from the agricultural regions
that the largest number Of middle
men shall be employed at a profit in eject
ing exchanges. One such manufacturing
city as Philadelphia, in Illinois or Indiana,
would give a home market for over two
million barrels Of flour a year. What the
West wants, then, is few more such CEN
tres as Cincinnati, st. Louis, and Chicago,
and these cities can double their popula-
lions in a very few years, by initiating the
example of Philadelphia.
Free trade will soon play ont if the peo-
pie of the West will turn their attention to
the grander advantages that may be realized
from it.

THE organization Of the Farmers
Oranges in the West has two legitimate
Objects first, opposition to railway mo-
nopolies and extortions, and, second, the
procurement Of agricultural implements
directly from the manufacturers without
the Intervention and tax Of middle men.
In the second object, the movement has
already been successful. The Indianapolis
Journal learns of Oranges in that state
which have leagued together and made ar
rangements to obtain plows at s25, which
have heretofore cost them $33. Of course,
wholesale quantities can be bought at
wholesale prices, and the farmers can thus
serve themselves very handsomely.

Mr.. JOHN ANDERSON, the merchant
prince of New York, who recently dona-

for school of natural science, under the
management Of Professor Agassiz, sug-
gests that the several states should each
appropriate $50, 900 toward the endow-
ment of the new institution. Much as the
success of the school may be desired, we
fear that this assistance will not be obtained
from the state legislatures, though congress
might do something, on the understanding
that. the establishment was to be made

In Delaware when a poor man robs a
chicken roost they whip him at the pillory.
When a young doctor kills and skins and
burns a "nigger," they acquit him of muir
der and hold him for trial under charge of
arson. Yet this infinitesimal Common
wealth boasts of its cranberries, blackber-
ries, and Saulsburys as evidence that its
people are civilized.
