Frec-Traders.

We class the free traders among the
dreamers. The Democratic party Is not a
party of free trade: on the contrary, II
proposes to admit all internal taxation, and
raise by tariff only all OF the revenue
necessary to carry on the Government ana
nav the interest on the public debt: ana
will any one outside OF n lunatic asylum

We are Democrat, but we are not
in favor OF free trade. We 90 Iurther,

in the Ohio Democratic platform, which
was reaffirmed by the Democracy OF Vr-
ginia at Lynchburg, and which carried
both of those States by large maiorities. III
is folly on the part OF the Democratic press
to agitate this question. 1t is an issue
which can never become national, but
which will be decided In each county and
city in the country by the local interests OF
the community. New England wants raw
cotton admitted free OF duty and manufac-
tured cotton taxed, while Mississippi
and other cotton States want raw
cotton taxed and manufactured cotton
admitted free Of duty. South Caro-
lima wants rice taxed and sugar admitted
free, while Louisiana wants sugar taxed
and rice admitted free. And so we might

ter what it may be or how it may conflict
with the wants OF other communities.
There are other issues OF national i'm
portance upon which party platform

seli-government, reform of the cOrrup-
tions which have grown upon the Govern

None of That.

In the House OF Representatives on
Monday MIR. BUCKNER introduced bill
to prevent undue contraction OF paper cir
culation and another to prohibit the issue
OF Treasury and bank notes OF smaller
denomination than $40.
We do not like either OF these bills.
The proposition to allow banks to deposit
greenbacks as security for their bank-note
circulation does not seem to us to promise
much. Indeed, we are so sure that nobody
would deposit greenbacks instead OF pay
ing them out as he would bank notes that
we take it for granted Mr.. BUCKNER's
scheme Is something else. and not that.
We are friendly to silver money, but
only as q basis for the issue Of paper. We
do not desire TO be loaded down with sill

hound. II there were no note less than
ten dollars, every man, therefore. having
nine dollars would have to carry about a

advantage to the community to flow from

The Tariff Question.

Under this heading the Dispatch COM
menis at length on our position favoring
iudicious revision OF the tariff this winter
by the majority in Congress. We think
the Dispatch misunderstands us. We are
clearly of opinion that no economical qucs-
lions should be allowed to divide the Dem
ocrutic party OF Virginia next year. As
the Dispatch bas well said, there are 12l,-
600 voters in this State who will vote the
Republican ticket for presidential electors
no matter what issues may divide parties.
One OF the great hardsh:ps OF negro suf-
frage is that 1t deprives the white people OF
the South OF the inestimable privilege en-
loved by their Anglo-SlXon brethren all
over the world Of dividing on questions OF
governmental policy, and expressing and
enforcing those differences at the polls;
but, with our social structure constantly
threatened, all other issues sink into insig-
nificance, and we must hold together or
lose our civilization.
But this is not the hard case OF our NORTH
ern brethren, and it is evident that this
tariff issue is stirring public sentiment to
its profoundest depths. We have not and
perhaps would not have proposed the
Question-it was already up and would
not down. The Republican press and
politicians had already begun the tactics
which served them so well in the last days
Of the canvass OF 1880. They had already
sounded the alarm, accusing the Democracy
Of contemplating wild and destructive
free-trade legislation which would bring
quick and dire confusion and ruin upon our
monopoly-propped industries. TO meet
this plan OF battle we believe the Demo-
cratic majority should formulate just such
tariff as they are willing to 90 to the
country with, and when charged with de-
structiye tariff theories we can point to
our bill rs embodyiDg our real views. The
Dispatch will agree with Us that it was not
revenue reform which stampeded the DEM
ocratic party in 1880. 1t was the absolute
free-trade views attributed to 1t the last
weeks OF the canvass which beat lis in
1880, and we would guard against re-
cuyrence Of the same Misrepresentation,
which our enemies will most surely repeat
in Charlottesville Chronicle.

An IsSUe.

Some prominent Democrats and Repub-
lcans have given the opinion that the tariff
is to be the issue i'm the next presidential
campaign. That 1t will be one OF the is
sues we admit, but that 1t will be the party
issue we deny.
The supreme issue OF this campaign Is to
be, and is now. whether this country shall
have q national government or a sectional
government. Whether all parts Of the
nation shall be interested in the admins
tration of its affairs, or whether one section
OF it shall be denatiOnaliZed, decitiZenized.
America cannot become whole, healthy,
vigorous unit in the eyes OF the world as
long rs she presents to that world one
sided nation represented at all its courts by
men selected from one section OF the ma
tiOn-a nation that entrusts all its affairs to
men chosen from above the 39th parallel.
The supreme issue is to ndfiOndiize the
nation and make all its people Americans.
A nation wants no caudal APPENDICES,
whether the appendage lay in the West, or
the South, or the East.
The tariff cannot become supreme as a
party issue, though It will be an alLper-
vading one throughout the country. There
will be, as there are now, Republican free
traders and Republican protectionists run
ming for Congress throughout the country,
and there will be Democratic protectiOnists
and Democratic free-traders. Neither
party can be guilty Of the folly Of reading
out men who differ on the tariff in the flu
ture any more than they have in the
past. All Democrats, whether they
are like Converse, Of Ohio, for in
cidental protection, or like Hurd, OF
Ohio, for free trade, will be unit on the
supreme issues OF the day which we have
stated. In Virginia the Democratic men,
Der from the Third, Sixth, Seventh. Eighth,
and Ninth districts, which represent the
bulk OF the mineral-beariDg and manu-
featuring districts OF the State. will be for
| incidental protection. While the national
Democratic party will have incidental
protection In its platform for 1884, you
will lind no free-trade Democrat boiling.
Just as the Republican party OF to-day,
which puts protection in its platform, finds
the eminent free-traders in that party
still true to the party flag.
The Virginia Democrats at their last
State Convention furnished the solution oil
the tariff question in the abolition OF the
internalrevenue tax. Its solution is being,
we trust, only temporarily ignored in the
Organization Of the House OF Representa-
tiyes; but It will not sleep. II has prac.
tical, business, common-sense life in 1t thai

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
that HENRY d. PAYNE Is as sound on the
tariff question as WILLIAM ID. KELLEY, or
any other Republican. and says that Repub-
leans cannot object to the election OF such
