ALEXANDRIA, Va.
MONDAY EVENING, JULY 7.

THE DEBT question practically settled oy
all parties being pledged to stand by
the Riddleberger bill, the contest tor the
future must be narrowed down TO square
fight between democrats and republicans.
However much we may have condemned
and deplored the action Of such conser'a-
tives as saw proper to separate themselves
for a time from their former political asso-
ciates upon the debt issue, we can yet un-
derstand how democrats in full sympathy
with their party upon all other issues, might
with q view to final disposition OF the
vexed and embarrassing debt question, con-
clude for the time being to sink all other Is
sues and cooperate with an organization
pledged its final adjustment; butt no"
that the debt question has been disposed OIL
eliminated from the politics of the State,
the mission of the "readjusl er" party so
fnllv accomplished that the organization
has ceased to exist, its very name abandon
ed. we cannot comprehend how any Nir-
ginian ever in sympathy with his section,
and not an original republican, can justify
himself in the light of the past history OF
that party in supporting its bitterly section
al candidates, Blaine and Logan, who are
peculiarly the representatives of the bloody
shirt, intensely radical wing of the republi-
can party. They are Of the class who were
not content with Lees surrender; but dis
grace to follow if possible. The whites OF
the South must be DISTINGUISHED and made
TO submit to the rule of their late slaves !;
while they, the ignorant negroes, were 10
be enlranchised and made law makers!
Who among us can forget the days of recon.
struction the "black and tan" Underwood
constitution, negroes and carpetbaggers IN
the places of Washington, Jefferson, Mar
shall. Madison, Henry and the like? We
do not recall these memories to revive the
passions and prejudices engendered oy
the war, but to express our profound aston
ishment that Blaine and Logan should find
supporters among Virginians who take
pride in the glorious past of our beloved
State. It is violent presumption to sup
pose that men of lifelong political views
and sympathies are honest converts to the
theories of government as taught by the
school of Thad Stevens, Ben Wade, Blaine
& Co.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL

New YORK, July Noon The stock market
opened weak and lower to-day under the leader
ship of Northwest which fell off 81 per cent to
Oily on the decrease of $255, 900 in earnings for
the 4th week of June The remainder of the list
declined 1. to 2R per cent At this hour the
market is weak again.

If response could be obtained from
every reader of the GAZETTE we are certain
ninety per cent. would testify that they
were not directly or indirectly interested in
The benefits to arise from the protection
afforded the manufacturers of the country
generally, while ninety-nine per cent, IL
they made the calculation, would find that
they are made to pay an extra price for
nearly every item of wearing apparel and
everything else they purchase, in the in
terest solely of the great monopollsts, who
are never content unless their fortunes
double with each year. 1t is to pay tribute
to these moneyed lords that the multitude
the poor-are taxed in almost every item of
food and clothing-the very essentials OF
life-by the existing tariff. A tariff for
s'revenue only" is the true doctrine, and
while the amount required to meet the
interest upon the public debt and defray
the current expenses of the Government
continue as at present, it will be found that
such items as may not be able to stand COM
petition with the products from abroad will
he fully protected by the incidental pro-
lection that a revenue tariff will afford
them. The day for tariff for the sake of
the protection it affords has passed; the
laboring man who finds employment in a
factory, if he did but know it, i'll the in
creased price he has to pay for what he has
to purchase under protective tariff, has to
stand loss OF full fifty per cent, at low
calculation. to secure an increase Of one
fourth the amount for his labor. The dem
oorats of Virginia and the South and West
have nothing to fear from this issue.
