We ere pleased to find the following
article in the Charlottesville Chronicle:
A GREAT DANGTR.-The evidence is fast
accommodating that the sharp manufacturers
OF the North are nursing a tariff scheme
more disastrous 10 The South than free
trade or protective tariff. The cry now
among them, even the Pennsylvania pig
non men, is that we must have a lower
t9rifl. that the country must be relieved OF
the load OF taxation, and the treasury OF its
enormous surplus. But how? BY a fair
reconstruction OF the tariff in the
interest Of oil people and every Sec
ton ? BY no means but raw ma
tetial. iron-orc. coal. &c. &c., must BIZ
put On the free list. while the tariff
on The finished article is retained at It's pro-
tectiye figures. II was mainly in view OF
such a revision rs this that we were earnest
that the statesmen OF The South should en-
brace the opportunity Of last winter, and
assist in controlling and shaping the legis-
latiOn that must come soon on this subject.
These northern manufacturers see that the
people ,ciH have revision, and they trim
their sails accordingly.
Better almost for The South that we
should have no revision at all than TO leave
lLc tdIfH Oh t0C uuSutu dItlclc pTIctlclOy
as 1t is, and place all raw material on the
free list.
We had supposed the Chronicle % be
rather averse to a tariff levied to protect
any article, whether OF raw material or Of
finished goods. We have little doubt that
Mir. BLAME is in favor OF putting raw ma.
ter:als on the free list. In his letter OF ac-
eepiance he says:
"When reduction Of taxation is TO be
made the Republican party can be tru ,ted
TO accomplish it in such form ~ will most
effectively aid the industries of the nation"
What form OF reduction will most etTec-
lively aid the industries OF the nation?
Ask Mr.. HewIIT and be will tell you that
what is needed by the northern manuiac-
turers is 10 take the tariff of raw materials.
lie contends that that Is the best way
TO aid the manufacturers. Whilst Mr..
DLAINE's words quoted above may not
have been intended to carry that meaning,
the fact that he lives in section in which
that doctrine is popular is reason enough
for suspocting him OF holding just such
heretical doctrines.

The Gold

10 this country docs not undergo panic
before long. II win not be because the mo-
nometaIlis,s have not done their best to
cause one. We see It constantly stated In
the organs Of that tribe Of CassandTas that
the cold In the Federal treasury has dwin-
died down TO such point tbs: the coun-
try will soon have two standards Of value
silver standard and gold standard; that
the silver doIIsrs will soon pass for Only s.
cents in gold; and that ruin and combus-
tIon dire must result. Here IL part OF a
New York telegram which we find in a
Cincinnati paper:
"ghose who oppose the payment OF
clearinghouse balances In anything but
gold are working upa theory that change
in The present custom will put premium
on gold by calling Official attention 70 its
scarcity. Some 90 further and predict
financial panic through the change OF a
basis Of values from gold TO silver, as the
latter is gradually taking the place OF the
former, silver being actually worth but
So cents on the dollar"
Quit talking about the two standards.
and people will socn cease to entertain
these unfounded fears. 1Iore than hun
dred and seventeen millions OF dollars Of
gold now cumber the Treasury vaults
twice as much as the Government spent
during JOIN QUIycY ADANs's entire admin
istration Of four years.
There IL not o nan living who can tell
fer how many years the Goyernm mt can
coin ,wenty-eight millions Of SILVER dollars
without causing them 10 fall below par
with gold. The Government collects more
than three hundred millions Of dollars a
year under laws which recognize silver to
be as good as gold. This is fact that can
not lie explained away.
Read the platforms OF both the Chicago
Conventions Of this year. Both recognize
doublo-standard Of value; that Is, both
call for q currency OF gold and silver COM
bined. The leading men Of both parties
are thus Of one opinion on the subject we
are discussing. and that opinion Is that
there Is no danger TO be unprecedented from
the existing coinage laws, hut rather benefit.
Let us not borrow trouble. To do so in
this case is TO be entirely 'too previous"

Tariff Scare.

The Chicago Journal has rare set OF
readers if they can be imposed upon by
such talk as the following:
"The threat OF Watterson. that the tariiT
will be reduced TO the extent OF 800, 1000, 900
year by the Democrats ii they get the
power TO do so, should be carefully studied
1t means reduction OF 81 per cent. on
present tariff rates. 1t includes PROPOSE
ton TO completely surrender all the manu-
featuring and industrial interests OF the
couptry TO the manufacturing monopolies
Of Europe. 1t means the closing OF our
factories and mines, = drain OF all our gold
to Europe, the Discharge OF four million
hboring men from employment, riots,
strikes, and general ruin and disaster.
That is the picture which the Free Traders
spread out before the country"
Is the Democratic party responsible for
"ths threat OF WAfTEEsoN"i Read the
Democratic platform and see how ii contra
diets every one Of the Journals aSsump-
tons.
The Democratic party is not Free Trade
party. II is a party that can be trusted
with The Government in the full assurance
that its measures will bring peace, prosperi-
ty, and wealth to the country. 1t will pro-
tect American industries, but without build
ing up monopolies. 1t will cement the
North and the south into a close union. 1t
will put an end to the practice OF compel
ling the free and independent voters OF this
free and inderenden, nation to deposit their
ballots under the eyes Of Federal supervi-
sors Of election and deputy marshals. In a
word, it will make this country the happi-
est and greatest in the world.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. Va, August 3.
There Is widespread indignation IN this

tweniy-four hours. For several days an
unusual number OF negroes have been
coming from the East on tire Baltimore and

The Staunton ViHdieaiOr, as in duty
bound. comes up cheerfuliy TO tie support
OF Mr.. TUCKER. 1t says:
at is needless to SLY that Mr.. Tucker
will have the hearty support OF the pindi-
Gator from now till elcct:on-day. Before
the high purpose OF the Democracy this
day all differences about differing amounts
OF tariff sink into nothin2ness. The first
thought in every Democrats heart will be
to save his district. bis slate, and his cOun-
tIy from Republican rule. The tariff must

than Randolph Tucker ever bore the Dem
ocratic flag. Here are three votes alone
that lie will cast that bring every Virginia
Democrat 10 bis support:
ION all force laws against the southern
States Mr.. Tucker will vote No.
ION all steals proposed from an over
flowing Treasury Mr.. Tucker will vote

and for every inquiry into and expo
sure Of wrong doing in the Government
Mr.. Tucker will vote AYE.
"ThOse three votes will bring every Demo-
and REFORM are the issues to-day"
On this same tariff question, which the
indicator orders "to the rear" Mr.. Bo-
coCE, in the Convention which nominated
for reelection Mr. TUCKER, said:
Gas for himself, he would endorse any
Democrat for Congress, whatever his tariff
views, il he had been true in other re-
spects. lie was for harmonizing on all the
minor questions"

Why Virginia {?

why should the Republicans pretend to
hope to be able to carry Virginia In the
coming presidential elections Only a
year ago the Democrats carried this State
by seventeen thousand majority when cleo
tons were held only for members Of the
General Assembly. This year congress.
men, President. and Vicc-Presldent are to
be elected, and consequently full vote
will be called out, and yet the Re.
publicans, we say, pretend TO hope TO
be able to secure favorable result. Now.
. Republican human nature docs not admt
OF such a thing as wasting money In
States that are certain 10 vote the Demo-
cratic ticket; and so we had supposed
that the talk about carrying Virginia for
BLAINE might he nothing more than bait
nj which Mr.. ELNNs and air. JONES were
expected to bite. In q word, that big
boasts might be intended only TO bring
money into this impoverished Common
wealth.
A Washington special in a Cincinnati
paper gives another reason why the Re-
publcsns indulge in boosting rs TO their
prospects in Virginia. 1t states that the
Hon. THOMAS j. MAcKEY, OF South Caro-
lima, recently held forth 10 reporter In
Washington city as follows:
"Tbe true theatre of political operations
In the coming campaign must be In States
of the North ard in West Virginia, Viz
ginia. and Florida alone OF the southern
STATES. In th,s three last.ramed States
the election machinery Is not OF such
character as to prevent Republicans from
securing n fair count. and the race issue
does not enter distinctiyely int the cam
paien."
In yirginie, then, owing to decision OF
the Supreme Court OF Appeals. the cleo
ton machinery remains largely In the
hands Of Mahoneite officials. Who post
ed Mr.. MAcKEY? Is this, too, given as
reason Why money should be sent into this
states
We call the attention Of the General AS
sembly, shout 10 assemble here, to this sig
nAlcant remark OF Mr.. MAcKBy's. South
Carolina, Louisiana, and Mississippi have
large negro maiorities. Yet, Mr.. MAcgnY
has no hope Of carrying them. "The true
theatre Of Political operations" says he, Is
in the thoroughly Democratic State Of Viz
GINA, which has u white majority Of eighty
thousand voters Let our Legislature head
off these "political operations" They
may be such as good Democrat could not
approve.
