So the dislrust OF Virginia credit con-

perfected iato law. A change for the BET
ter Immediately commenced, and has con-
tinued steadily on to the present time. At
: this time the credit Of Virginia Is better
than It has been before since the war, and
there is an ease aad order apparent over the
Commonw ealth not observable since the
war until now. 1t is the result OF the set
Element, and the faith that exists at home
and abroad in the honest intentions OF Vir-
einia, and. the promise of the ease and GER
tainty with which the debt Of Virginia Will
be met as it accrues, and will be finally PAID

There is wonderful conspiracy OF cir
cumstances at this particular juncture
which assures our. Virginia people OF con-
dition OF commerce, industry, and money
matters that must make them happy and
contented beyond all precedent. The BAL
ance OF trade, or the balance OF productive
power, is in favor Of this country, and we
assume that the great State OF Virginia Is
chief participator in this advantage in for
eisn commerce. She will have her full
share in the advantage, and in the influx OF
money that will be needed to make up the
deficit in the means OF subsistence for the
millions of Europe. That our industry
and enterprise and agencies for develop
ment will be deriving more and more the
compensation that will flow from this turn
in the commercial tide in our favor all men
OF experience and forecast clearly see.
Again the amount OF money is becoming
excessive in the old populations Of Great
Britain and the Continent, and must seek
investment and occupation in this young
and wonderfuly-growiDg land.
Money is becoming cheaper. -Four per
cent. is fast becoming the rate OF interest on
money in this land, as it is now the estab-
lisbed interest of the Government.
The interest of money would now not
exceed per cent. il order prevailed in the
country and there was Punishment OF all
apprebensions from political disturbances
and reckless schemes Of vicious combina-
tons. These keep alive distrust and keep
up the price of money. -.-......st
Now, why should Yirginians be suffering
from alarm and apprehension ? Why
should they not be enjoying the advantages
OF low money and the trust and confidence
of commerce and trade? An, that is it.
People of Virginia, you have grand State
with fame so commendable that all peo-
pie are more than ready to accord you the
very best advantages to which you can be
entitled. :z>t.t. - .
Go ahead with your public-debt settle
ment.-purge your State of that party OF men
who are seeking their advantage in breaking
down the credit Of your State and crippling
your Government. Restore your Common
wealth to order, make the operations OF the
Government systematic and regular, so that
no disorder or irreguarity shall occur to
produce disturbance, and by all the means
in your power, socially and politically, BRING
about effectuaIly and permanently that en-
ergy and good faith that will command the
confidence of the country, and you will be
put into the situation to enjoy in the high
est degree those conditions that are rapidly
coming about: that turn in trade, that flow
OF money to this country, its low price and
the resultant effects in increasing business,
enhancing values, and improving the happi-
ness OF the country and the whole face of
the land.
But, citizens, daily with the De-
strhctives, and arouse distrust and appre-
hension in your State under the fear that
the public debt Of Virginia may be repu-
dated: you will drive off immigration,
repel investment, have to pay high for mo-
ney il you get it at all, keep down all your
pursuits and enterprises, and plunge your
selves into misery. You would as we'll open
your doors to rattlesnakes as to open them
to ReadjusterS, so called. Indeed, rattle
snakes are not so terrible. They are known
as dangerous and poisonous animals by
their rattle; but the destructive politician
gives no such warning-he comes in adelu-
sive form. He is dangerous. The injury
he inficts is great and enduring; but, then,
he is not devoid of fascination, and his
cunning and treacbery are deep and dan
gerous, and be can smile, and smile, and
smile; and still be a-DEsTRUcTIYE: ----
Yirginians, you can now make your Com
monwealth paradise indeed, il you will.
But let MALONE and MASSEY triumph and
YOU will establish for yourselves hell upon
earth. r#*
