The tariff and the farmer.

The Republicans insult the intelligence of
the farmer by endeavoring to make him be-
lieve that high protective tariff benefits
him. A simple fact is worth ship load of
sophistical argument, and one palpable and
lamentable fact is that the price of wheat is
now lower than it has been for thirty years,
though we have had for twenty-odd years
the highest tariff that has ever cursed this
country. 1.-THE tariff benefits the farmer,
how is it that under this high tariff of long
standing, the price of wheat is so low !? Ask
them to answer that simple question.
If the tariff had been reduced, and the
price of wheat had fallen to its present low
price, then every advocate of high tariff
would have been citing it as confirmation
strong as proof Of holy writ Of the absurd
position maintained by them that the farm
er was benefited by high tariff and would
be ruined by a low one. Unfortunately for
them and their argument, tie price of wheat
the operation of a high tariff. The farmer
is still taxed by the tariff an average of at
least 40 per cent on what he is compelled to
buy, whilst the grain he raises scarcely pays
the cost of raising it. Yet the Republicans
tell the farmer that he should support the
Republican party, because that party favors
a high tariff, and high tariff benefits him.
In view of the facts starin G him in the face,
the farmer will be apt to conclude that he
had better support party that does not
give him that kind of benefit.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENr.-On Monday morn
ing last, an employee on the Virginia
Midland railroad, named Shep. Langford,
took the place of an absent brakeman on
Captain Bunk Taylor's train, which went
south at 20 A. NJ. Langford was en-
ployed on the yard, and it is said that the
conductor hesitated about taking him as he
was q green hand at the brakes. Heinsisted
on going, however, and the train proceeded.
At North Garden Langford was missed,
and when the train reached Montreal. the
conductor telegraphed the fact back to the
Junction. A party started out immediate
ly, and when they reached Maury's grade,
near the mill-crossing, they found the re-
mains of l-angford IN most horrible con-
ditlon of mutilation. The head was entire
ly cut off and lost; one arm was severed,
the hand on the other was badly mashed:
one leg was cut off and the other mutiat-
ed, and his entrails crushed out. Three
trains had passed over The body before the
discovery of his remains, and it is surmised
that the body must have been dragged
some distance by the successive trains.
The remains were gathered up and placed
on the Car and brought back to the June
ton. As they neared the house where the
deceased lived. his little boy, who had been
in the habit of riding about the yard OF
the hand-trucks, came down to the road
and mounted the Car, totally unconscious
that it contained all that was earthly of his
unfortunate father. The remains were
prepared for burial, and the sad ceremony
was about to be performed, when one OF
the men, who had been searching after the
party left, appeared with the head of the
corpse which was inferred with the rest.
Mr.. Langford leaves widow and five help
less children. Altogether it is the most
horrible, pitiful, distressing case that has
ever occurred in this section. Charlottes

R0ckbridge Court Yesterday,
Col. WIN. r. AYLETT ADDRESSED LARGE
AUDIENCE.
TUCKER AND YOs IN DISCUSSION.
YOST'S SIGNAL FAILURE.

| LEXINGTON, VA, Sept. list, 1884,
This is the first day of the Septembe
terms of the County and Circuit Court.
and large crowd is in town. large
number being from the neighboring county
of Augusta.
Judge Mclaughlin is presiding in the
Circuit Court, and Judge Patton in the
County Court. No case of special interes
to the readers of the SPECTATOR is on the
docket of either court.
| Col. VIM. R. Aylett, Democratic can
vasser at large, for the State of Virginia,
spoke here to-day in pursuance of an ap
pointment.
| He made most excellent speech, conser-
vative in tone and temper, and was listen
ed to with the deepest interest and atten
| ton.
Col. Aylett proposes spending few days
in the mountains, and will speak again.
probably, in other sections of our county.
A joint discussion took place to-day il
the court house yard, between Mr.. jacob
Yost, and the Hon. John Randolph Tucker,
the nominees respectively of the Republi-
can and Democratic parties; the terms of the
discussion as follows
Yost to lead off in II hours, Tucker to
follow in II hours, Yost to reply in J hour,
and Tucker to conclude in / hour.
Mr.. Yost made poor, and feeble speech
and discouraged his friends, who had been
led to believe great things from him. 1
simply speak the truth, when l state, as
do in all candor and sincerity, that he
made no impression at all, and that it
would have been better for him and his
party if he had never heard of the Repub-
lican nomination.
Mr.. Tucker, in his reply to the opening
speech of Mr.. Yost, was overwhelming and
crushing. He did not leave him an inch
of ground to stand on. Poor little Yost;
his face seemed twice as long as it ordinari
ly is. The Republican party in nominating
this young man Yost to run against Mr..
Tucker committed an act of cruelty for
which they ought to be held to rigid &C
countability. Is it too late tos suggest to
his party, managers to withdraw him? If
it is not done, the Democratic party should
not be responsible for the consequences
The remainder of the speeches was
in keeping with those in the opening.
The next session of Washington and Lee
University commences on the 18th inst,
and the indications are that there will be a
larger attendance of students than last year.
The Virginia Military Institute begins it's
session on the 10th inst, with as large, if
not larger, corps than last year.
The recent rains have refreshened and
frightened up things generally. The farm
ers are very much encouraged. The SPEC

Mai. Jed. HOtchkiss WithdraWs.

Maj. Jed. Hotchkiss has withdrawn from
the canvass as a candidate for Congress-
This leaves the field clear for square fight
between the Democratic and Republican
parties. Those who are Democrats, will
support the nominee of their party-Hon
J. Ran. Tucker-and those who are Re-
publicans, will support the nominee of their
party-Mr. Jacob Yost That the Repub-
licans are not sincere when they maintain
that the tariff is the only issue in this Dis
trict, is shown by the fact that they declin-
ed to accept Hotchkiss as their candidate
who proposed to make the tariff the issue.
1t shows that they recognize, as we do, that
the issue is not the tariff, but whether we
should be represented by Democrat OF by
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES or not we should
endorse the record of the Republican party
If the Republicans had considered the tariff
as the only issue, they would have made no
nomination, and would have supported
Hotchkiss on that issue, because then he
would have received not only the Republi-
can votes, which will be given to Yost, but,
in addition, the votes of some tariff Demo
Gratis, and hence more votes would have
been given to their side Of the tariff issue.
But it was not the tariff only, but the Re-
publican party that they wanted endorsed,
and hence they nominated Republican,
intas ct IN cute, SO that no tariff Democrat
could vote for the tariff policy without vot-
ing for the Republican party. The tariff
Democrats who might have supported
Hotchkiss will now, in effect, say to the Re-
publicans:-
"Inasmuch as you have shown by your
action that you would not touch a tariff
Democrat with q forty-foot pole, we will
return the compliment and will not touch a
tariff Republican with a for6y-foot pole
you must now paddle your own old and
leaky Republican canoe without any help
. from tariff Democrats"
When Republican appeals to a tart if
Democrat to support the nominee OF the Re
publican party because he is a high protec-
tive tariff man, the tariff Democrat should
ask him why he was not willing to support
tariff Democrat? He could not say that
it was because Hotchkiss is not as we'll
qualifiedsto represent that issue as the Re-
publican nominee. No. IF he would give
the true reason, it would be, because Hotch-
kiss is not a pronounced Republican, and
his election would not be an endorsement
of the Republican party. 1t is not the tar
iff, bnt the Republican party that he wishes
you to support. He wishes to get your en-
dorsement of the Republican party and
your committal to it by your vote for the
nominee of that party. No Democrat
should allow any consideration to influence
him to vote for the nominee of the Repub-
lican party. Republicans will be sure to
vote for the Republican nominee, and Dem
ocrats should not fail to vote for the Demo-
cratic nominee. Let Republicans be Re-
publicans, and Democrats be Democrats.

Mr.. Tucker at Greenyille.

A large assemblage of the people Of
Greenville and surrounding country greeted
the presence of Mr.. Tucker Saturday af
ternoon. Men venerable in years down te
young voters were alike anxious to see and
hear one with whom new associations and
new ties of friendship are to be strength
ened.
Mr.. G.. T. Jordan, of Middlebrook,
young champion of Democracy, in hand
some style, showing that the young mel
were all alive in this day Of duty, intro
duced Mr.. Tucker, pointing to him who
had borne the banner Of his party and his
country always in triumph.
Mr.. Tucker commenced by referring to
the new relations existing between the
people Of Augusta and himself.
His address abounded in clear argument
and effective presentation of facts, inter
spersed with illustrations which satisfied
every man present of the soundness of his
views. He had been assaulted in many
ways, but if his record, from which he
quoted, was examined, it would be found
that he had uniformly opposed taxing
workingmen, farmers, and the many to put
unreasonable gains into the pockets of the
few. He had battled for fair and reason
able adjustment of the tariff upon the ba-
sis which would strike Oft the millions of
money wrung from the consumers of nee
essary comforts which in it's distribution
did not enter the rewards of workingmen,
but did find its destination in the Golfers OF
the few.
The SPECTATOR has full notes of this
first address of Mr.. Tucker to the people
of Augusta since his nomination. but there
is no space for report. He said he ex-
pected, as opportunity offered, to speak at
several points in the county during the
| canvass.

Methodist Centennials in ROekbridge

In continuation of the previous ceremo-
MES, the centennial year of Methodism was
celebrated by series of meetings in Rock
bridge during the last week on the Lexing-
ton Circuit, Rev. V. w. Wheeler in charge
The order of proceedings was much as that
reported at Fairfield in the last SPECTATOR.
In readiness as q speaker, with his finely
cultivated talent in music, accompanied by
Mr.. Charles Kregloe, Of Lexington, as or
ganist, and a trained choir, the Rev. APP
Boude has given that entertainment an in
terest which will long be remembered in
that community. There were also present
Rev. c. L. Torreyson, from the Fairfield
circuit, and others, who were called upon
and furnished sufficiency in appropriate
speaking.
At "Wesley Chapel Wednesday, there
was large gathering Of the people with
the Sabbath school organization. Good
entertainment at the lunch baskets, and all
over the shady grove there were many evil
dences of generous hospitality.
A few years since, and when Mr.. Boude
was in Charge, 'Wesley Chapel" edifice
was rebuilt. 1t was shortly before the
death of Bishop Doggett, who delivered
the dedicatory sermon. Mr.. Boude. re-
ferring to those times, caused many emo
tions of the heart to give expression in
softened eyes as vacant seats reminded him
of those who had ''passed over the river"
At "Elliott's Hill'' there was a church
festival, and the leading festival of the day
similar to those reported. Numerically,
this is one of the weak churches, but
abounds in earnest labor and good works.
The loss Of old leaders by death has been
seriously felt, but new ones, all young in
age, are taking their places Robert Nc
Cluer, VIM. Zollman, Wilbur Fiaherty, Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. R. Hogsett, and others are
continuous in their steadfast zeal for the
prosperity of the church.
The voluntary offerings in money were
considerable and gratifying to the congre-
cations Of the two churches.
Mr.. Wheeler, in charge, is a fine repre-
sentative of the itinerant ministry in Dor
der, as well as congregational work, and
expressed himself as greatly encouraged
in the field assigned him for the Confer
ence term.

fertilizer, and have known few Valley
farmers to dress their lands with the kind
obtained in this section of the State. but
have no information that any have done
so after reducing it to lime. Tt appears
from the authority above referred to, its
virtues are more valuable as lime. Now
would be good time to test it. Wheat is
low in price, the commercial fertilizers are
expensive, and if the mari lime can be made
available as a substitute, the abundance OF
the material will bring about enduring
benefits

For the SPECTATOR.
Alexander Bush-Was it Presentiment?

This poor man, Antrim & Co. and others,
of Waynesboro', say was an honest man,
and struggled to raise family as a buck
stor under the western shadow of the Blue
Ridge. For fifteen years he toiled through
all sorts Of weather, and over miry and
dirty roads, to your town, with fruit, poul-
try, butter, sc. Through January and
February last, he often said to his feeble
delicate wife: 81 am going away; I am
going to leave you" She didn'5 know if
he meant that he would leave home to
travel, or what he meant. In March he
siekened He said to her: "Wife, | have
traded in Staunton for fifteen years. Per-
sons there owe me, as l think, three hun
dred dollars. Get my book and take their
names, and the sums they owe me-" She
says she put him off, telling him she wrote
so badly, and that he would soon be well.
But he grew worse, and in few days the
sickly wife was widow, and the young
children fatherless.
Mr. Editor, was it presentiment, ard
will the eye that reads this not recall the
fact, Il owe that poor woman and those
little children SO and so, and know others
who owe her." and may it not prompt them
to make her RESTITUTION?

Fidelity to his trust---Flood in the Ohio.

Suppose that you had entrusted your
money to another to be used fof specific
purposes, and that a case Of charity appeal
ed for relief, and that that man should use
your money to give relief in the case sup
posed instead of using his own-would you
think he was doing right or would You
think that he was violating the trust con-
fided to him. You would say that he acted
without authority-that he violated his
trust, and that he did not deserve to be
trusted again with your money. Suppose,
on the contrary, that he should refuse to
use your money, though strongly urged
to do so, and would say that, whilst it is a
case of true charity, and relief should be
given, he could not use your money for that
object entrusted to him for different pur-
pose, but that he would contribute of his
own money to the extent of his ability, and
should do so; then you would recognize
him, not only as man who was faithful to
his trust, but as a man of a kind and gen.
erous heart, whom all could trust for his
honesty and admire for his charity.
This is what Tucker did in the case of the
sufferers by the flood in the Ohio River
He refused to give for that purpose the
money of the people entrusted to him and
others for other purposes, but gave of his
own money in proportion to his ability. Yet
some, as Col. Fl. G. Parsons, who probably
did not give of their abundant means sim
gle cent, complain Of Tucker because he
would not violate his trust and appropriate
the peoples money to an object different
from that for which it was entrusted to
him, though he deeply sympathized with
the sufferers, and contributed his own
money to their relief. Tho Pecksnifian
hypocrisy of some people is wonderful.
