Good Advice.

Day after day the Washington Post gives
the Democrats line upon line and precept
upon precept concerning their duty at the
present iuncture Of affairs. Yesterday it
said:
.sThe Post is not in favor of too rapid
transit from the present revenue system to
free trade. We do not know OF any states
man OF any party who proposes to make
war on our industries or deprive the in
iants' Of protection-milk so rapidly a to
paralyZe business" And we are, a
heretofore stated, unutterably opposed TO
a futile attempt by the Democratic party
10 reform the revenue system while the Re
publican party has possession OF one branch
OF the legislative department and the veto
power.
"Just now the Republican party is situ-
ated precisely rs Shrewd Democratic politl-
clans wish it to be in the campaign OF 1854,
with its intolerable tariff load on its back.
If the Democrats in the Forty-eighth Con-
gress undertake to pass tariff bill they
will do the one thing most acceptable to
their opponents"
The Brooklyn Eagle says:
at Is mistake TO suppose that The De-
moeracy demands absolute free trade
They are not such fools. They believe that
revenue reform means tarlf reduction by
easy stages: not abrupt and total abolition
of ihe tariff. They would not have the
country commit the Sam Patch folly o.
jumping from the top Of the ladder; it l.
TOO far from the ground. They desire tC
see il descend in the safe and natural way
round by round.'

Correspondence Of the Richmond Dspatch.l
APRIL TO- 1888.
The Democratic primary in this county
on SATURDAY. brought ont Il large vote for
an election OF that kind. All the returns
are not in vet, bat the poll will reach LOGO
or 800 at least.
The nominees are: For Sheriff. \. Il.
Liehtner. present incumbent; Common
wealth's Attorney, VI. +. White, the we'll
known criminal lawyer OF the Staunton
bar: Treasurer. J. y. Mcfarland, for years
past commissioner OF the revenue. The
nominees for the other county Offices have
not vet been asccrtained with certainty.
Mr.. Mcfarland will bc opposed by Mr..
John l.. Hamilton, brothcr-in-law OF Au-
ditor s. Brown Allen and the present in
cumbent by appointment. The contest
will be well fought, but no RCddiuster, Re
publican. or CodlitioniSt has ever yet been
elected TO a county Office in Augusta, and
the old Democracy expect in May not only
to hold their ground, but TO advance their
lines.
Sheriff Lightner's opponent is W. H..
Shields. Il Democrat who would not sub
NIT his claims TO the primary. Ii there l.
no Coalition candidate he will get that vote,
but very few Democrats VIII oppose the

Consnls' Reports.

Whoever fails 10 examine the consuls'
reports published monthly by the State De-
nartmcnt at Washington fails TO learn a
good many interesting facts.
The first report In the February No. says
that the pitch lake Of Trinidad Will supply
the world annually for two thousand years
with 10000 tons OF pitch. About $1,000
tors OF Il were shipped to the United States
In eleven months ending December !, 1887
Of which 770 tons were shipped to Hamp-
ton Roads. II is worth about 1928 per ton
when the vessel starts, including export
duty. carriage, and boating. The crude
aspbalt i worth there sl.25 per ton.
Consul-General SrRoTuER Porte Crayon)
reports from the city OF Mexico that almost
inexhaustible beds Of asphaltum exist IN
Mexico Uhe country.
Consul Mason, OF Basic, has by his let
tcrs caused a prospect Of good MARKET be-
ing found for stoves, scales, axes. and va
rious agricultural implements in Swiizer-
land. the American articles being far supe-
rjor to those used now in that country.
Consul BAILoU writes from Kehl that
about loo. 600 bales OF American cotton are
annually consumed IN Alsace. lie says,
too. that American hardware such as hoes,

vastly superior 10 those OF the same KIND
manufactured there.
Consul-General MATTsON writes from Cal
cutta that the annual production of wheat
in British India is about 2i0,OOO.OOO BUSH
els; that the wheat is sOwn in the autumn
and harvested in March or April; that it is
usually sown in drills or rows, and weeded
like garden stun. and IN quantities not
much larger than garden-patches in the
United states; but that the agricultural
population number nearly 200, 900, 600, and
il is the aggregate Of innumerable little
units which in agriculture, as in every
thing else in India. brings the country INTO
importance; and this fact is so closely IN
ferwoven with the whole social, industrial.
and legal network OF India that it bears
strong influence, he says, even upon the
future question of Indian rs. American
wheat.
Consul TANNER, OF Liege, writes That the
Germans and Austrians adulterate Ameri-
can products. They can take" and they
do il. too" he says-one gallon OF our kero-
sene oil and make one and a half out OF it.
He tells Of many other much more obicc'
tionable authorizations.
Consul ECKsTEIN, Of Amsterdam. writes
that the export OF Sumatra tobacco to the
United States is constantly and largely in
crcasing. But his letter was written before
Congress put a tariff Of - cents pound
upon that sort Of tobacco.

that Paraguay tea is a species OF holly. 1t
is generally used a. a drink or tea IN that |
part Of South America.

suls.

state says that cold Man EATON" is 4 safe
and strong candidate for Speaker OF the
next House OF Representatives; that CAR
Isle. brilliant and able, is handicapped by
his locus in quo; that MORRISON and
SPRINGER are well spoken Of that Cox is
active; but that the great interest OF the
contest is centred in SAM. RANDALL, the
main point after all being whether RANDALL
or somebody else will get it. And that
RANDALL is at present ahead.

situation; and we would be willing at this
early day to accept Old Man Eaton a a

THE POLITICAL CALDRON-THE SPLIT IN

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.l
APRIL Q. 1888.
As the election draws nearer the excite
ment Increases IN proportion. The COM
plication Of political affairs, while it keeps
the interest ut feyer-heat, j. not calculated
to enable one to make any accurate forecast
a to results; but one thing is certain. that
since Harris became "tired OF monopo-
lies and came out as a candidate for the
treasurership, the Coalition has been most
seriously crippled ii not entirely knocked
to pieces. Indeed, 40 stronger evidence
OF the Mahoneites' critical condition i
needed than the decided aversion OF can
dldaics to appear rs nominees OF that party.
The Alahoneite committee met here to-day.
\ motion was made to call convention to
nominate candidates for all the county
Offices except that OF treasurer, which was
voted down. The committee then adj
iourned without further action.
John III. Barlow, Jr.. will be candidate
Tor Commonwealth attorney i'm opposition
to Il. ID. Peachy, who was elected two
years ago by the Coalitionists.
A convention composed OF Straightout
and Readjuster Republicans met mt York
town on Saturday TO make nominations for
the various county offices, and from all ac-
counts II was not conducted in style Of
unalloyed harmony. At an early hour the
Nortons boted and retired, followed by
four delegates, leaving twelve Straightouts
within, who proceeded with tue business
and made nominations for the offices OF
treasurer, commissioner OF the revenue,
and sheriff. The Nortons, with their di-
minutive four, called mass-meeting on the
outside OF the courthouse and made nomi-
nations for the Offices OF treasurer and CON-
missioner OF the revenue,
Ii Is stated that the Democrats OF York
county will meet court-day and make out
ticket.
The City Council held another stormy
