position" having purchased the property and
franchises used by the Worlds Exposition, at

to develop more intimate trade relations be-

ward the Gre cent City. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway, with its connections and equip
ments. is prepared to transport the thousands
who will desire to see our beautiful Southland

was based upon the writings of the Prophet
Nehemiah, when he had overcome delays and

hundred dollars were raised, by the asking for
it, to relieve the officers of the church in COM

Hard Times.

In his able speech at Petersburg last
week, in referring to the hard times, Judge
Staples said =
sWhat is the cause of the hard times {?
The charge that a democratic administra-
ton brought 1t on the country is as absurd
81; IS i It is false. President Cleveland had not
heen in Office three mouths before this cry
was heard. although we have had no session
of congress. Within this short period 40
administration, not ever congress, could
by any measures effect materially the con-
dition of country like this, extending from
ocean to ocean, with every variety of eli
mate, product and soil. The same condition
of things existed in 1878. Then the repub-
lican party had undisputed control. The
speaker said he stood on this platform in
the presidential canvass. He then depicted
the hard times, the scarcity of money, the
prostration of business, the failure of
banks, the suspension of furnaces, the great
labor strikes of the north and the wide
spread bankruptcy and ruin over the land.
The causes existing then are in operation
causes for all of which the republican party
is responsible. A high protective tariff un-
duly stimulating production of iron and
other interests and exceeding the demand,
necessarily led to the failure of great indus
tries and to general prostration. This con-
dition of things has been intensified and
greatly exaggerated by the corrupt practices
and profigate expenditure of public money
by republican officials, by an Ubiquitous tar
if imposing an average tax of 40 per cent,
upon the industries of the people: by an
internal revenue system, which takes from
the pockets of the people more than $780,
600, 900 annually not needed for any pur-
poses of revenue and by that persistent and
ruinous republican policy which locks up
in the treasury of the United States more
than $400. 100000 The withdrawal of such
an enormous amount from all the needful
channels of trade is of itself sufficient to &C.
count for the present unhappy condition of
the country. No people, however, could
long Withstand such fatal policy. The
democratic party is pledged to its over
throw. If the country will but give it a |
reasonable time it will restore the country
to a happy and prosperous condition.

Mr.. George Fix, who has been SO very ill
at his residence in this place, departed this
life Sept. 10Th. The deceased has for many
years been the village blacksmith, and was
universally loved by all who knew him.
"Uncle Dick" as he was Familiarity called,
is now no more, and this community is the
loser of very valuable and honest citizen.
He died, as he had lived, a Christian. Peace
to his askes.
As to the political situation, We have lit
tie or nothing of Importance to write. Hard
times seem to engross the minds of the peo-
pie here more than anything else just now,
but we believe that the right will win
every time.

physicians recommend that he discontinue
preaching for while. Weare sorry to lose
the services of this able divine for even a
short while, as he is doing a good work
here among us. More anon.

Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1885-09-30
Going to Meet Fitz Lee.
(For the SPECTATOR.

Our company left here at 8 o'clock this
morning and proceeded to Stanardsville,
where they joined the delegation from that
place and proceeded thence about five miles
in the direction of Swift Run Gap, to meet
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and escort him to Stan
ardsyille, where he had an appointment to
speak,.
The General was mounted on a fine
charger, belonging to Mr.. Chapman, and
was heartily cheered by hundreds who had
assembled at Stanardsville to witness the
procession, which consisted of about 500
cavalrymen, headed by the General. Mr..
Benz Creel and DR.. Ewell acted as Mar
shals, and deserve great credit for the very
efficient manner in which they discharged
their duties.
The Generals speech of two hours dura-
ton was listened to with the most intense
interest by both races and was presented
with one of the prettiest bouquets we ever
had the pleasure of seeing. He was follow
ed by DIR. Mofett, of Rockingham, who
made short and spicy address, during
which he was continually being applauded.
After the speaking, we enjoyed several
hours with the kind and hospitable citizens
of Stanardsville, and then returned home
willing to bet ten to one on Lee.
For the present will say, Adieu.
