man can vote to nominate Il candidate one

There is heap the newspapers referred 10

pose that the people of this State will en-
dorse General Mahone's and Mr.. John
Wise's republican high tariff injustice, be-
cause Mr.. Randall and Mr.. George ID. WISE
choose to do so, will find themselves very
much mistaken. The democrats of Virginia,
az we'll rs those of the whole country, al
WAYS have been, and are now, in favor OF the
lowest possible tariff compatible with a
revenue sufficient for the legitimate ex-
penses of the Government. And, what's
more, the wisdom and the popularity OF
such policy have become so apparent that
the republicans of the North see the hand
writing on the wall, and will adopt itthem-
selves if the democratic leaders daily with

Small Farms.

There are many farmers who have
so much land they cannot make a
living on it. When they have learn
ed that it is not economy to own
more land than they can till in the
most profitable manner, so that it
will pay for the money expended in
keeping it free from taxes, weeds
and other membranes. they will
have solved the problem of ease in a
farmers life. TIE happiest and
thriitiest farmers we nave ever
known lived on farms of only ten TO
one hundred acres-some on farms
of only teG acres, every foot of which
was made TO count On the other
hand, the farmer who has so many
broad acres that he can not walk
over them daily; where rods Of
fence corners are never cultivated or
made of any use. lives a life of anxi-
ETY. and worry. His taxes are heavy
and his crops light. He cannot give
reasonably thorough cultivation to
SO much land. Now, if the farmer
who owns one hundred acres of
land will sell half of it and expend
the money received for it in cultiva-
ting the other fifty, getting blooded
stock and poultry, fertilizers, etc, he
can make each acre produce as
much as two acres are doing now.
His taxes will be less, his cares less.
and his gains vastly greater.
