The Manchester Ragamuflins me: last
night nj the MAYORS courtroom in this
city preparatory to their parade ana start
for Richmond at 10 O'Clock this morning,
and listened to an address from his Honor
Mayor Taylor, who will be unable to re-
view them this morning.
Mayor Taylor said:
Fellow-Citizens and Gentlemen OF the
Komic Krew,-You have been invited OFF,
cially TO Join in the Trades Parade which
win take place in Richmond tomorrow
Tto-tlayl, and have been requested to say
something to YOU tonight. As you have
no doubt concealed from each other, in a
great measure, the nature and character
OF your disguisers OF crime, 1t leaves me,
in n measure, without q text and almost
without preteXt for talk.
What have TO say will be simply gene
raj In many Of the cities, and l might
saw counties, OF the old world where day
is set apart as gala day, thousands APP
pear in rags. IL is a matter OF necessity.
with you IL is simply matter OF merry
making and fun. But do not forget this,
even IL you are in rags, a ragged coat may
cover a manly breat and a ragged sleeve
may hang from frail arm.
When | recall the fact that in proportion
TO the population OF the place there are
more manufactures in Manchester than any
other place in Virginia, probably in the
South, simply say that Manchester is the
home Of mechanics, people who make
something and people who do something.
And in the great exhibit tomorrow what
will all be? Simply an exhibition OF skill,
labor. enterprise and capital combined;
and when this exhibit is made you will ride
merrily along, and You and the other arti-
sans can say, "Our hands did it," would
like TO see Manchester become not only the
home for mechanics, but see her with all
the conveniences and comforts that modern
inventions suggest and modern life de-
mands. would like to see the products of
your skill become in the near FUTURE
mean goods manufactured in Manchester
become a prominent feature in the annual
displays in Richmond.
The problem for the statesman is TO so
combine labor and capital as 10 make ii
profitable for both the workman ard the
man Of money. IL capital can find here
large body of skilled workmeu, why should
II not give you your wages for Your work
The great problem for Richmond and Man.
chester TO solve is to make the home Of the
artist next door TO the workshop Of the
artisan and attract the man Of wealth here
TO pay for the product of their joint skill.
The Ragamufiins will, as usual, meet at
the old Alert Baseball grounds, in the up
per part of the city, before starting for
Richmond to Join in the Trades Parade.
Mr.. j. +. Bradley will act as chief marshal,
with a corps OF competent assistants. To-
night the Ragamufiins will attend ban
quet at Cersley's Hall. The line OF march
in Manchester will De from the baseball
grounds to Hull street. down Hull to Sew
enth. out Seventh to the Free bridge, and
over the bridge TO Richmond. where they
will be met bya committee from the Trades
parade
