forty years of age, and shows it in her still

VIRGINIA AND THE IRON TARIFF.-A
prominent Virginia Democrat, whose name
it is not thought polite to publish at pre-.
sent. but who will in proper season voice his
sentiments in propria persona, says that the
State has no legitimate grounds for harbor-
ing any protection sentiment. He supports
his statement by reference to one interest
which is generally supposed to be benefited
by the tariff. Iron can be produced at 81
to slS per ton in Virginia, while it costs ST.
in Pennsylvania. The tariff on this article
just enables the Pennsylvania manufacturers
to keep their works open. Should this duty
be taken of they would simply be compelled
to close up and move to Virginia, whose
mineral lands would thus be opened up and
developed. Such is the opinion of one OBJ.
serving man, and he believes that the peo-
pie Of the State only require enlightenment
as 10 the true situation to be solidly in favor
of tariff revision of radical kind.-Wash.
