Notwithstanding II, 1885.
The Tariff.

The Farmers Convention very pro-
perly laid upon the table resolution
denouncing q protective tariff. There
is no good reason why the Democrats
Of Virginia should divide upon that
question so long as the national Gov
eminent shall need and receive two
hundred millions of dollars year from
customs-duties. Any tariff which pro-
duces that much revenue must ncces-
sarily be protective.
The choice, therefore, is between a
protective tariff of some sort and direct
taxes to raise all the money that the in
ternal taxes do not yield. Who is in
favor Of direct taxes? Virginia would
have to pay seven millions out Of the
two hundred millions Of dollars in ad-
dition to what she now pays in internal
taxes. How could she pay such q
sum?
Or, suppose that in order to render it
non-protective the tariff were put upon
coffee, tea, and other articles not pro-
ducts of this country. Virginia uses
an immense quantity Of coffee. How
would the farmers and planters like to
have it all taxed two or three cents per
pound?
The value Of the manufactured pro-
ducts of Virginia in 1880 was s5l,8l0,-
692.
As long as the Government taxes
tobacco eight cents per pound the plant
ers must either have a protective tariff
iii is now fifty cents per pound) to keep
foreign manufactured tobacco out of the
United States, OF else every factory in
this country will be closed. Are the
planters willing to see the tariff taken
off tobacco?
Are the prices Of wheat, corn, to-
bacco, and other agricultural products
too high? BY no means. The farmers
and planters complain that they are too
low. Would those prices rise if all the
persons now engaged in manufacturing
were to be driven by the repeal of the
tariff laws into agricultural pursuits
and compelled to come in competition
with farmers and planters?
If the manufacturers are so well
cared for, and get such high prices,
-four cents for yard of cotton cloth y
and make so much money, is it not
strange that more persons do not be-
come manufacturers?
We do not wish our friends Of the
Farmers Convention to read the state
ments Of this article as arguments in
favor Of protective tariff, though our
creed on this subject is well known.
We only desire to remind them that
there are two sides to the question, and
that this is not the time to raise such
an issue.

"PROTECTINq HONE INDUSTRY"
Under the above caption the Richmond
Dispatch Of Saturday has another col
umn intended to convince us that we
cannot consistently favor the relieving
of Mr.. Glen, by our City Council, from
the payment of taxes on his new -four
ing-mill for five years, and at the same
time oppose the protective tariff as in
augurated and continued by the Repub-
lican party since the war. We fear our
metropolitan contemporary does not I'M
derstand or appreciate just what the
average country editor may do without
being chargeable with inconsistency.
The difference in the protection we favor
and that which the Dispatch advocates
is this: We would relieve Mr.. Glenn
without raising any other citizens tax /;
the Dispatch would raise every other
citizens tax to relieve Mr.. Glen. We
would relieve one man Of tax to get him
in; the Dispatch would impose a tax
on all to keep him out.
Our contemporary is very much mis-
taken in supposing that we intended to
say that it had "been forced to acknOw-
ledge" a change of opinion concerning
the tariff. What we did say was that
the Dispatch had been forced (by the
patent truthfulness Of the fact and its
regard for honesty and candor) to ac-
knowlege that the tariff needed revi-
sion; not that change Of opinion had
extorted it. but because its cognizance
Of the fact and known regard for the
truth compelled it.
We must deny the intimation that
our contemporaries article seems to
contain. that pe belong to that class of
tariff thinkers who would have Randall,
Voorhees,, Converse, and Brown read
out of the Democratic party. We have
never entertained, let alone expressed,
such views. We differed with these
gentlemen, but we never conceived that
it was such difference as would pre-
vent us from standing together in a
fight against Radicalism, with its num-
berless false and pernicious doctrines.
We did not admire the policy of those
gentlemen in going with the Republicans
against the majority Of their party on
the Morrison bill, but it never
led us to conclude that they were not
Democrats, although we did, and do
now, think that as between protection
and Democracy these gentlemen are
protectiOnists. We are for tariff for
revenue as against tariff for protec-
ton but if test is to be made we are
for Democracy before either, and we
believe the Dispdtch will join us in
this profession. -ROckingham Register.
We let the Register speak for itself.
We will only add that we are thoroughly
at one with our contemporary in the ut
terances Of its last paragraph.

The SlOuch Hat.

If the truth about the South con-
tinues to come to the front as rapidly as
it has done during the last twelve months
it will not be long before the organs
will be very hard up for ammunition.
1t mpst finally dawn upon the most OBJ
fuse Of them that they have been guilty
of misplaced sympathy in their desire to
elevate the South to the northern STAN
dard Of civilization, and correct the
morals Of our people. The latest
evidence Of this crops out in a
discussion of the temperance question.
The average organ was wont to repre-
sent the southern Democrat as a whis-
key-drinking, ioud-swearing individual,
who was never so happy as when he was
bulldozing negro or participating in
lynching picnic. and whose inseparable
companions were SLOUGH hat and dou-
ble-barrelled shotgun. Well, in course
of time it was proved by impartial cor
respondents of northern journals that
the average southern man did not swear
any louder than the average northern
man. Next it was shown upon compe-
tent testimony that the bulldozing of
negroes and the portsble-arSenal bust
ness constituted the exception and not
the rule in the South; and last, but
not least, statistics have demonstrated
that in certain portions of the North
and West lynching is a much more
fashionable amusement than it is in
this section. Now, to cap the eli
max and render the woe of the
organs complete, metaphorically speak
ing there is tremendous leak
in the southern whiskey-barrel. The
st. Louis Republican, on the authority
of a leading northern temperance advo-
cate, states that temperance work is
further advanced in the South than in
the North, and adds:
Mississippi has $50 saloons Min
nesota, with about the same popula-
ton, has over 5000 saloons Arkan-
sas has 1874 saloons California, with
about the same population, has $500
saloons. Old Bourbon Kentucky has
4,46l saloons, and Ohio 1890. Start
ling AZ the statement may be, in pro-
portion to the population, the North has
twice as many saloons as the South. Z"
Unless the organs can show that the
South has a corner on SLOUGH hats, and
that the wearing Of SLOUGH hat is evil
dence Of disloyalty and a low state OF
civilization, they will be in a bad way
during the next presidential campaign.

The Eastern war-Cloud.

At this writing the report that Eng
land and Russia have agreed upon Q
basis for the delimitation Of the Afghan
frontier is unconHrmed, but oven should
II be confirmed II can hardly be said
that the prospect for peace will be
Frightened. The agreement as report
ed involves conditions that 1t is not rea-
sonable to expect will be met. From
the adviccs before the public it does
not appear that Russia can make an cY
PLANTATION Of the attack upon the AT
ehans that England can accept. Neither
is it probable that the Amer, holding
as he does guarantee from England Of
the integrity Of his territory, will agree
to give up Penjdeh. Again, it must be
remembered that, however much MIR.
GLADSTONE may desire peace, the
patience Of the English people IS
pretty we'll exhausted, and that it
has happened before that what they
could not bend they broke. 1t should
also be remembered that even if it be
so that the Gar desires peace he
is powerless. The best evidence OF
this fact is to be found in the cry Of
ION TO Herat now is the time" of the
Russian military organ. No one
acquainted with the history of the
Russian press will imagine for mo-
ment that any journal in that country
would dare take such bold stand in
opposition to the alleged policy of the
Car unless it felt sure of its ground
in other words, unless it was inspired
by those who controlled the Gar.
But this is not all that initiates
against the idea Of peaceful outcome
Of the situation. Both Powers continue
to arm. Earl DUFFERIN's speech at
Lahore shows conclusively that he con-
siders war inevitable, and our know
ledge of the Afghan nature is not such
as to lead us to look for pacific mea-
sures as the result Of the durbar at
Cabul. If ABDURRAHhAN declares
war against Russia, England must sus-
tain him. Another point to be consid-
cred is that since the news Of an alleged
agreement between England and Russia
was made public telegram has been
received from General KOMAROFF
stating that he is engaged in organizing
q provisional government for Penjdeh
and the surrounding district, and that
there is no necessity for an immediate
forward movement on the part of the
Russians. In the light of Russian
methods such language is very signif-
cant. 1t would appear to indicate that
Russia intends to hold Penjdeh whether
the Ameer consents or not, and
that no matter what may be the
ministerial agreement, another Rus
sian advance is only question
Of short time. 1t is an open secret
that large column of Russian troops
is on its way to reinforce KoMAROFF.
1t is not going too far, therefore, to
say that his telegram sounds very
much like an inspired answer to the
inspired cry, son to Herat--now is
the time"

Our Congressman.
The State of yesterday says I:

The State Of yesterday says:
sour correspondent. Fair Play,
whose letter was published in the State
Yesterday, struck the nail on the head
and clinched it. II was an admirable
supplement to the statement Of the
Democratic congressman from Virginia,
and one which they should approve as
the clear and proper Interpretation OF
their words, viewed as it is from the
peoples standpoint. In this Admins
tration every Democrat will have a
respectful hearing of his claims, and
it is well that the people and
their representatives in Congress
should have so full an understand
ing as that which should now be firmly
established. Those who attempt to
arrogate power to themselves will be
sharply rebuked, and the statement of
the members Of Congress is in itself a
pledge that their personal preferences
will not override all other considera-
tions-an assurance that cannot be
lightly withdrawn in public or in pri-
vate, and that is most timely and pro-
per-"
The public will soon learn whether
or not any applicant for Office from
Virginia has secured an office to I'll
which some other person was recon-
mended by our congressman.

The Lawton Case,

bility Of Mr.. Lawton, named as Minis
ter 10 Russia, is a delicate one. The
Attorney-General has given to the Pre-
sident an opinion sustaining Mr.. Law
toms right to hold office, and it would
be interesting to learn the specific
grounds of this opinion. 1t is not, OF
course, known in detail what the posi-
ton Of the various senator's was upon
the matter, but Mr.. Edmunds is re-
ported to have argued strongly against
the confirmation Of Mr.. Lawton.
Should the President act upon the
opinion Of the Attorney General the
whole question may come up again at
the opening of the next session Of Con-
gress."
Nay come gp"s 1t surely will

The Negro Population.


1.-THE roads and schools in Virginia
are not much inferior to those in any
other State as poor and as sparsely set
tied by white people. The great OBJ
stacle to immigration into Virginia, as
well as into all the other southern
States, is the large number Of her color
ed population. White labor will not
compete with colored, and it is almost
impossible to attract capital TO a State
into which white men dislike to come"
There is much truth in what the Ga
ze,te says concerning the unwillingness
of white laborers TO work in company
with negroes. This race prejudice is as
strong in foreigners as in the people Of
the northern States Of this Union. The
white people of the southern United
States have less prejudice against ne
groes than any other white persons in the
world. 0fcourse there are foreigners and
northerners who have never been brought
into contact with negroes, and who are
not afraid Of ever seeing a dozen Of
them at time, who claim to be utterly
destitute Of race prejudices, and char
acterixe il rs unchristian. But after all
they have more Of race prejudice against
the negroes than the southern people OF
this Union have.
Nevertheless, after admitting that the
negroes keep out Of Virginia many set.
tiers, we must insist upon it that if Vir-
ginia had such roads and such public
schools as the northern and northwest
ern States have the tide Of settlers
would soon set in this direction.
Virginia is border State, and
will before long have a population
almost entirely Of the white race, so far
as the north side Of James river and
the counties west Of Richmond are con-
cerned. The negroes will stray of
SUNNI" auo ~ Wultc SttticIs prcSs
downward from the North, and thus
this State will soon become, as Tennes-
see has already become, white State
TO all intents and purposes. Tennessee
has. according to the census of 1880,
only 100000 negroes to 100000
whites.
We have an expectation that some Of
our fossilized politicians in Virginia will
find out before long that, as
SOLOMON says, The thing that has
been is the thing that shall be-" In
other words, they will learn, that as in
all the northern and northwestern
States the public schools have become
the first great care Of all Legislatures
and all others in authority, so it will
