The WAY TO DISCOVER FRAUD =
The Lynchburg Aduance says that iii
any grand jury desires to find out
whether there has been fraud in the
matter of delinquent capitation taxes,
summon the collectors from the coun
ties, and then summon q few of the
parties who voted on the receipts. to
say where and when they got them.
some funny things will be DISCLOSED
about free ballot and fair count be-
tore this matter is ended, and no court,
United States or otherwise, will be able
to stop the exposure. White-washiDe

THE PROPER CoURsE.-As the Bal.

the friends of lower tariff to pursue lie
to quit denunciation and 60 to work to
prove that "protection" does not pros

as furnishing an example of country
In which manufacturing industries
flourish to the highest possible degree
not in spite of, but in consequence OF
absolute free trade. AS long as we pre-

from tariff duties instead of interna

EFFECT OF THE CAPITATIoN TAX
AS A PREREQUISITE TO SUFFRAGE
The Valley Nrgimian says that the Re
publican party will gain $4,000 votes BY
the abolition of the capitation tax as
pre- requisite to suffrage. In the next
election, every Democrat should cast his
vote. There should be no drones In the
Democratic hive, but every Democrat
should be. not only voter, but work
er. If every Democrat will perform his
duty, the State is safe. In the nex'
election, eve,y Democrat should be got
ten to the polls None now have their
capitation tax to pay to entitle them t.
vote. This will add thousands to the
vote of the Democratic party, as'well as
to that of the Republican party.

known in the State. Let the whip Of the
boss follow the whippiug>post into desuetude.
