The contract for furnishing the United
States Navy with tobacco was awarded
to Myers Bros. 81 Co., of the Old Domin-
ion Tobacco Works, of this city. The
contract has been fulfilled, and that firm
is in receipt of letter from a United
States naval paymaster which states that
the tobacco was approved not only as to
quality, but in the manner of its delivery;
that every term of the contract had been
complied with. Myers Bros. & Co. have
also secured payment for the same. This
is the first contract of the kind ever
awarded Richmond firm, and it will no
doubt be the means Of increasing the
worldwide reputation of our tobacco as
well as of our other manufacturers.

largest and best-equipped in the country,
and its owners among our most enterpris
ing men.

o'clock Mr.. and Mrs Roach came to the
Almshouse and carried Johnny home, a

HOW PROTECTION WORKS.

"When the Dakota farmer gets to
LIVERPOOL he meets the wheat from India,
the Baltic and the Black Sea. He gets
just what they get for a like article. He
has to compete with every grade of pau
per labor. Congress cannot protect
him nor his laborers in that
market. Well say he gets $4,000
for his wheat in Liverpool. He must
have clothing for himself and family. He
must buy new machinery and supplies for
his farm in order to raise another crop.
He is offered all he wants in Liverpool
for $4,000. He cannot buy because Con-
gress, by laws made to protect somebody
requires him to pay fifty per cent.
tax on $4,000 before he can land his
goods. He knows he can buy them
for $1,000 in New England or
PENNSYLVANIA therefore he brings back
no return cargo. He buys his goods here,
pays somebody who had no right to take
a dollar from him $4,000 more than he
was offered for them. The Government
gets nothing. The Dakota farmer loses
$4,000 after selling in competition with
foreign paupers, and some pet Of Con-
gress, who had nothing to do with the
trade pockets the $4,000 on the plea that
American labor is thus protected when
his goods were probably produced by
Hungarians, Italians, or otner foreign
paupers imported and employed because
they worked for ten cents day less than
American workmen demanded That case
illustrates the protective system.
"a few words about the surplus reve-
nues of the Government, and ! am done.
OF course they were produced by eXces-
sve taxation, and can only be properly
stopped by a reduction of taxes. We
cannot stock up hundreds of millions in
the Treasury without bankrupting the
people by depriying them Of their circu
lating medium. Therefore nothing re-
mains that | can see except to reduce
taxes to the point needed for the wants
of the Government. If Congress has
not sense enough to do that-and |
am afraid it has nOt-rather than
have the money locked up, the apprO-
priatiOns increased, or eXtravagant pre-
miums paid, shall propose before this
Congress adjOurns to loan the surplus at
say two per cent. per annum to any one
who will deposit the outstanding four and
a half or four per cent. bonds Of the
United States as security, appOrtioning the
amount loaned in the first instance among
the States in proportion to population
and authorizing either party to cancel the
