we extract tho following from con'iau-
nlss.ion by Colonel IsoFsBr BKvRaLkS, OF
Fana,,ier. appearing IN Che Religious iief-
did o. this week:
sswbat Virginia wants most y nAnu saes
&..~>. Never lcf n ton Of iron ore, 1907
~ timber. pound Of wool or cotton OF
srs'@ern ~ 4 busheI OF wheat, leave her
,snr,sers until Il Il manufactured, and her

~ rork these machInes, and not send the
,ssw n,aterial to Pennsylvania on New
Envland or Old England TO be manufac-
tngea and brought back to Us, at an enor-
mons rate OF freight both ways, and from
no Ia 800 Y,er cent. for manufacturing W.
Herr. where Il Is produced, It must De
manufactured to bring prosperity.
Z. We want protection 10 our STATE manu-
fats,,res by State legislation, and don't tax
any more about that old, eficte doctflpe OF
free fr4sde fiiI we can stand on our Kegs.
.,o s,fs,l n 900 Mr.. VOORHEES,. at Atmnta tne
other lay. said the South and West wanted
s.rosecF;on. Georgia has seen II Tor some
lime sast. and Is giving it 10 her people,
a,,d benee her prosperity, with not naii the
,,,,oe,.ay resources or agricultural fertility or
,e,,,,c,afe climate that Virginia has. Gcor-
s,ia las gone far ahead OF US in wealth md
nrcsnerstv. What has made sterile, rock
6ound. ice-clad New England what siie IS
evceDf protection 10 her manufactures ana
or ra,s ,aGterioi2 Every day now you see
our iron ore and timber going from VIZ
oinia 70 PENNSYLVANIA and Delaware Tor
Manufacture. Was there ever such SUI
cidal folly? Our season has been unpIo-
,it;ous. Il 4 true; but 1t has been equally
D. Nan
so all over the United states. But the
trouble is our people are not making ths
most OF their productions and country anu
cliuate--the finest that God has ever gwen
TO man. I see an improvement IN some
sections along all the various railroads,
in io,ndries and manufactures start-
in1. and many new railroads building
al indicating a great boom OF pros
pefity TO the old State; but we want these
enterprises everywhere in cur Dorders'
WLv NOT manufacture all the tobacco, cot
son. and wool grown in Southside and
Underwater Virginia at homer Also, agrl-
cultural implements, horse-shoes, sc. p
tins building up little towns and villages
among Us, and Keeping our money Of home.
Then We could stand droughts better, and
nobody would want political Office, and
Readiusters' occupation would be gone
and when Providence smiled on us with
his next propitiOus season, we would Tor
pet we had drought and a frost in 1881,
and would be happier and moro pros
porous people"
From what we have been able to observe
but few men in the South now hold to free
trade doctrines. England's example has
amounted to nothing, as far as the rest OF
the world is concerned; indeed, her OWE
people arc getting sick unto death Of it.
Tie agitation there, under the name Of
"Tair Trade" indicates how utterly Con
DEN and his fellow prophets have failed in
their predictions.
We in the South are just beginning tht
world in manufactures, but the beginning
has been good one. We have of hand al
the raw materials necessary forthese manu-
features, and the country money that used
TO 20 into negroes is finding its way into
the stock OF these factories. The live meT
who manage these industries understand
fully the fact that what made such indus
tries prosperous in the North cannot fai
10 have the same effect In the South, hence
they want our protective tariff to continue,
and hugh to scorn the old free-trade no.
tions that used to prevail in our section.
Colonel BEVERLEY farms on a large scale
and with great success, and when he speaks
in the vigorous way he does about the folly
OF the free-trade policy TO the South of to-
day, Ire doubtless gives utterance to the
opinions of every man in his calling who
uses his head in the conduct Of hls bust
