Owing to the increased demand and the I'M

goods, some dealers are selling inferior to.
baccos and representing them as the Glory

The only difficulty about readj usting aud
settling the debt question at this time con-
sists in the fact that many OF those who
have most loudly protested to be readjust-
ers are In reality opposed to settlement
upon any terms, as they wish to keep that
question open for the purpose Of securing
Office through its continued agitation. The
leaders of this faction are seeking self-ag-
grandizemcnt, and not the good Of the State.
Highland Recorder
a majority Of the people OF Virginia have
become convinced that the State cannot pay
six per cent. interest on her debt without
being excessively burdened, and conse-
;quen,ly they favored an adjustment; and
now, when so mir an offer OF adjustment is
declined Should it be finally declined as
that made By the creditors, the people will
hold these repre- ntatiYes TO an account for
consulting their own instead Of the welfare
OF the State ii -.

Who Pays the Tobacco Tax.
w ,r.rcnnRn, IENENRuRGi COUNTY. Y 4

y
WATTsBORO', LUNENBURG COUNTY. VA,
February Il, 1870. !
Those who advocate the tobacco tax assert
that it comes out OF the consumer and not
the producer, and that tobacco is luxury
and ought to DE taxed. Every one knows
that the consumer pays more FOR the tobacco
he uses than he would pay but for the tax;
but on account OF tue tax and the COnSe-
quent high price OF manufactured tobacco
the poorer classes of the people OF the coun-
try are more or less excluded from its use,
and the manufacturer, consequently finding
but poor sale for bis tobacco, can pay the
producer but very poor price Tor leaf to-
bacco-not enough in most instances TO pay
the. cost OF production. This is true at least
with regard to the tobacco-growing sections
OF Virginia. And right here is where the
tax comes out Of the producer. Every one
ought TO know that ii the same amount OF
tobacco were used with as without the tax
that the producer could not possibly lose
anything by the tax; but it is not used. and
therefore the producer alone must suffer IN
pecuniary point OF view. | know that
taxing tobacco is very pretty way to raise
revenue, but that don't make it right and
Just to do so. e.. ... .
Tobacco nay be a luxury, but l do not
think that any one who has ever made crop
OF it with his own hands will pronounce it
a luxury to make it.
Taxing manufactured tobacco is mere
whipping the devil around the stump. 1t is
precisely the same thing rs il the farmers
tobacco were taxed before it left bis barn,
and defy any one to prove the contrary.
Some may ask why it is that we do not
abandon the cultivation OF tobacco entirely
in Virginia and turn our attention to other
crops. | answer that in the sections OF Viz
ginia where TOBACCO is cultivated for market
to any extent the soil is peculiarly adapted
to that crop, and it is utter folly TO attempt
to raise any other crop for sale without using
fertilizers to such an extent as to render re-
muueration from the crops upon which they
are used an utter impossibiIty. This thing
has been repeatedly tried by individuals,
but always with the most signal failure.

Raadiustars, Convention.

We feel sure that the mnss Of the people
who attended the meetings for the appoint
ment OF delegates are heartily in favor OF
the acceptance Of the lbondholders' propo-
sit;ou for the settlement OF the State debt.
Almost every BODY ID Virginia wants i: set
fled. and we do not believe public meetings
OF any considerable dignity can be gotten up
in Virginia without including maiorities OF
citizens who want the public debt settled
now upon the terms offered. We;cannot
believe it possible that our people can be so
wanting in wisdom as to decline peace and
rest from the most troublesome OF agitations
when they are offered upon most practical
and favorable terms.

The Argum emit in a Nutshell.

Senator BLAINE, in supporting the bill
putting check upon Chinese immigration,
said:
sThe Senator from California (Mr. BOOTH
has said that there was not, rs we under
stand it, in all the one hundred and twenty
thousand Chinese, more or less (whether |
state the number Alright or not does not mat.
teri, there did not exist among The whole OF
them the relation OF family. There is not q
peasants cottage Inhabited by & Chinamaa;
there Is not a .heartbstone, in the sense We
understand it, Of az American home, or an
English heme, or o German home, or q
French home. There is not domestic tire
side In that sense; and yet you say 1t is en-.
tirely safe to sit down here and permit that
TO grow up in this country"
No matter who says it is safe, he makes a
great mistake.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1879-02-18

We honor Senator BLAINE for voting for
aud supporting the Chinese bill. He thus
gives one proof that he is not bigot, and
not disposed to sacrifice his own superior
race TO foolish and yindictive fanaticism.
Now, CoNRLISG Is not q bigot, and is not
mad from ianaticism. He is only calcl,la-
ting his chances for the presidency, aud
taking the side Of the inferior races under
the belief that be will thus east the net 10
which he VIII get great many votes. This
shows him all the greater fool. He is only
strntting about in turkey-cock style to ex-
cite the admiration OF beings that will never
BE- able to do anything for him. CoSgLISG
is,after all, a born fool, and will, with nil his
talents, never achieve anything above d SEN
atorial position. The Healhen Cbinee will
never make him r President. The g face that
Is child like and bland = viii never smile On
President CoEKLISG.
