The Tariff Question.

If the question of protection to American
industries were likely to be the most i'm
portant one involved in the elections of
November next the voters would be divided
on very different line from that on which
they will be divided in those elections. We
have not troubled ourselves to notice the
attacks that have been made upon the
Democratic nominees for Congress and
President and Vice President as being enc
mics to the doctrine of protection; because
in this State at least the voters would rather,
as we heard prominent gentleman express
it, vote for the highest of protective tariffs
or the lowest of revenue tariffs than to aid
a party led by William Malone in regain
ing power in this State. This is the feeling,
we doubt not, of large majority of the
white voters in Virginia. They have lived
twenty years under a protective tariff.
They could live twenty under a revenue
tariff. But they are not willing to live one
year under William Malone.
Nevertheless, we will say to the Valley
Virginian that the very fact that the Demo
cratic National Convention declared for a
tariff for revenue only in 1880, and in 1884
declared for tariff of very different kind,
is the best possible proof that the Free
Traders did not control the Convention
this year. Here is the kind of tariff declar-
ed for in 1884:
ssThe necessary reduction in taxation can
and must be effected without depriving
American labor of the ability to compete
successfully with foreign labor and without
imposing lower rates of duty than will be
ample to cover any increased cost of pro-
duction which may exist in consequence of
the higher rate of>wages prevailing in this
country"
There is the doctrine of protection with
out pretence of disguise. The very mo-
tive-the only motive-the single reason
given-for particular kind of tariff is that
the American workingman may be protect
ed. The rates of the tariff must be ''ample'
that's the word-to protect our own work
men against the cheap work Of foreign
workmen. They must be enabled to 'con,-
pete successfully aoith foreign labor" and
this the Democratic National Convention
declared in unambiguous terms they could
not do unless the rates of duty were made
amply high to cover ''any increased cost of
production which may exist in consequence
of the higher rates of wages prevailing in
this country"
Isn't it folly to charge the party stand
ing upon that platform with being 'Free-
Traders? Could language be palmer?
Of course the Convention that adopted that
platform could not be guilty OF the incon-
sistency of declaring at the same time for a
tariff for revenue only. Accordingly the
Chicago platform nowhere employs that
phrase. 1t was in the platform of 1880.
1t is not in the platform of 1884. Surely

The audience which assembled at the

and possessed strong lungs which IL used
to circulate some bad language Among
tho audience, and especially among those
who crowded behind the scenes, were many
well known gentlemen, one of whom in q
dress suit took great interest in the match
A short vaudeville performance preceded
the feature OF tho evening, and it was after
10 o'clock whom the first bout was announced.
Ross appeared in white tights, and looked
we'll. The Jap was attired in red tights, aud
was, il was stated, in sick condition.
The first bout was catch as catch-can, and
began with rush. The men settled down
TO work, aitor twisting zach other, however
and for time wriggled like snakes. Ross,
by q dextrous movement, threw the Jap on
all fours, but was unable to move him. The
Jap finally struggled out, and secured u
limb around one Of Ross's legs. He then
raised Ross from the floor aud threw him.

securing the grave vine" twist, put
the Japs shoulders within three inches Of
tho floor. Five minutes were consumed in

The second bout, in Japanese style, was
won by the Jap in one minute and half.
