The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1883-07-11

As we stated yesterday, some persons
predict already that the election OF Judge
HoApLY next November to be Governor OF
Ohio will result in bis nomination next
year by the Democratic National Conven-
ton, and In his election 10 the presidency
Of the United States in November, 1884.
Since we penned our article Of yesterday
on the subject OF the pending campaign IN
Ohio we have received and read long re-
port Of the speech made last Saturday In
Hamilton, Butler county, Ohio, by Judge
H0ADLY. And In view Of the TACT that
Judge HoADLY knows as well as any
body else that he Is possible cam
didate for President OF the United STATES
and that every word he utters Is carc'ui'y
scanned not only by his possible rivals ana
opponents, but by thousands ana tens OF
thousands Of other persons, we noted par
ticularIy what he had to say upon the tariff
question. The reader must rccollcct that
Mr.. WATTTRsoN, and so far as we know ali
: the other Democrats who favor tariff for
revenue only, have accepted the declara-
ton Of the ohio Democrats on this subject
~ satisfactory. Nay, more: Mr.. WAITER.
SON mas said that the Democratic National
Convention Of next year could not do bet
ter than make that declaration plank In
the national platform OF the party. Now,
let us hear Judge HoADLY. Ho said:
81 purpose to discuss the tariff question
in the hight of the Democratic resolution
ON that subject. which has been accepted
Ms a clear, concise, and accurate statement
of Democratic doctrine throughout the
lenpfh and breadth OF the land, and which |
rs believe contains the Gods truth on
this subject. A tariff for revenue, with |
incidental protection, which shall not los |
ter or encourage monopolies, and shall
not unsettle or disturb labor in fields TO |
which il has been invited by past leeisla- |
ton OF the country. This is, in substance, |
the Democratic doctrine, and l will pass
on with this brief remark, which i intend |
TO enlarge upon good deal the first chance |
get"
Now, then, why cannot every Virginia |
Democrat be as liberal as Mr.. WATTERsoN |
and Judge HoADLY?
Judge HoADLY read from the platform Of
the Ohio Republicans the following:
Third-That the wool tariff OF 1861 |
should be restored AZ the first possible op- |
portunity."
And went on to comment upon it. lie |
said:
"Why, my heavens, when looked at |
that first / thought my spectacles were |
wrong. ] AIN growing old. need n new |
pair OF spectacles. Who destroyed the |
wool tariff OF 1862 Was it the work OF
the Democrats Why, we have not had
any power. They have had the Senate,
thanks 10 their partnership with Malone"
"Who abolished the duty on wool?
Who sheared the Ohio wool-grower, took
the fleece right of from him with the scis-
sors OF legislation? The Republican party
did il. 1t was John Sherman; but John
and Mckinley held up their hands and
said they voted against it; but there were
enough without them--just enough-to put
il through"
"Now, who abolished the wool tariff?
Tell this to the woOl-gTower OF Ohio.
Who took tile wool tariff Of 1867 and re-
duced the tariff to IL cents per pound, and
since then cut it down 10 10 and II cents ?
Who cut it down? The Republican party.
And now they say-the Ohio party, where
the wool.growers liye--not the Pennsylva-
mia people, who do not raise sheep, nor the
New York sheep; they have not got the
feeces; but the Ohio wool-grower, where
every fleece counts vote-they come and
say that the wool tariff shall be restored at
the very first opportunity.
"Now, who is going to restore it.? Are
the Ohio Republicans going to restore itf
Why, they could not prevent its being
taken of, l suppose; therefore, how are
they gong to restore itf"
These last remarks, touching the tariff
on wool, furnish another illustration OF the
truth Of General HANcOCK's celebrated de-
claration that the tariff was a local ques-
tion.'' 1t would seem to be clear that in
Ohio both parties are in favor Of protecting
the wool-gowers.
