Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1886-10-27
President who for the first time meets vir-

cinians upon Virginia soil. [Applause].
congratulate myself that my first intro
duotion to the people of Virginia occurs at
time when they are surrounded by the ex-
hibits of the productiveness and prosperity
of their State Whatever there may be Of
honor in her history, and however much of
pride there may be in her traditions, her
true greatness is here exemplified. In our
sisterhood of States the leading and most
commanding place must be gained and kept
by that Commonwealth which, by the labor
and intelligence of her citizens, can produce
the most Of those things which meet the
necessities and desires of mankind. Ap-
plause.1 But the full advantage of that
which may be yielded to State by the toll
and ingenuity of her people, is not measur-
ed alone by the money-value of the product.
The efforts and the struggles of her farmers
and her artisans, not only create new value
in the field of agriculture, and in arts and
manufactures, but they at the same time
produce rugged, self-reliant and independ-
| emit men, and cultivate that product which
more than all others ennobles State-a
patriotic, earnest American citizenship.
| This will flourish in every part of the
| American domain; neither drouth nor rain
can injure it, for it takes root in true hearts
enriched by love of country. There are no
new varieties in this production; it must be
the same wherever seen, and its quality is
neither sound nor genuine unless it grows
to deck and bsautify
! AN ENTIRE UNITED NATION,
nor unless it supports and sustains the
institutions and the Government founded
to protect American liberty and happiness.
Loud applause
The present Administration of the Gov
eminent is pledged to return for such hus-
bandry, not only promises, but actual ten
ders of fairness and justice, with equal pro-
lection and full participation in national
achievements.
If in the past we have been estranged,
and the cultivation of American citizenship
has been interrupted, your enthusiastic well
come of to-day demonstrates that there is
An end to such arrangement, and that the
time of suspicion and fear is succeeded by
an era of faith and confidence.
In such a kindly atmosphere, and beneath
such cheering skies, l greet the people of
Virginia as c0-labOrers in the field where
grows the love of our united country.
LCheers.
/ God grant that in the years to come Vir-
ginia-the Old DSminion-the mother of
presidents -she who looked on the nation
at its birth-may not only increase her tro-
phies of growth in agriculture and manu-
features, but that she may be among the
first of all the States in the cultivation of
true American citizenship. Prolonged
cheers.
MEMBERS OF THE CABINET.
1 When President Cleveland concluded,
Col. Beverley introduced in the order named
Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, Secretary of
State; Hon. William Endicott, Secretary of
! War, and Hon. Norman J. Coleman, Com
missioner of Agriculture of the United
States.
| THE REVIEW AND HAND SHAKING.
After the speaking the President and
party were escorted to the Centennial
| House. From the portico he reviewed the
military. The troops white and colored,
presented a handsome appearance.
After he review the President held re-
ception ard shook hands with thousands of
persons. At $50 he was entertained at
lunch. At $3.50 he expected to leave for the
Soldiers Home. He will leave on special
train for Washington at 5 P. M. unless the
plans are altered.
i The reception of the President and party
was heartfelt and sincere He was cheered
from the moment he entered the grounds
: A lady presented him with beautiful bou-
quet of flowers, which the President prom
ised to carry to Mrs. Cleveland.
The President stood the hand shaking or
! deal very we'll, and had a word and smile
for all. He seemed to properly appreciate
the old Virginia welcome.
Secretaries Bayard, Eudicott and Villas
were also warmly greeted and expressed
themselves delighted with the visit. 1t is a
matter Of great regret that the visit of the
! r. Er,,if cd Mould
have been pleased to have had him escorted
through tue streets. Many houses were
; beautifully decorated in houor of the occa-
sion.
President Cleveland deserves the thanks
of the people for the trouble he took to be
present, and he carries with him back the
best wishes of thousands Of his constitu
ents.
i Never has there been Fair more quietly
and pleasantly conducted, and the manage
ment have right to BE- proud of the success
which has crowned their efforts.
i DO YOUR DUTY ON THE DAY OF
ELECTION WHETHER OTHERS DO
so OR NOT.
I It is claimed by the protectionists
! that the wage-earner gets better wages
under protection, and that he can afford,
therefore. to pay higher prices for the
articles he consumes. Yet it is growing
palmer every day to the wage-earner that
it is not only an absurdity but wrong to
tell him that a few thousand protected
, employers should be chosen, a specially
favored class, out of fifty millions to rece aye
} the benefits of protection directly and to be
} trusted to give the wage Garner fair share
/ after the protected employer has taken all
that he dare take for himself. The wage
earners in protected manufactures know
that when they are locked out, protective
tariff still exists, but that it cannot help
them, and, that nevert heless, the prices OF
articles they must consume remain as high
, as ever. 1t must be clear that the protec-
F tive system is a gigantic monopoly. For
if, as protectionists claim, it furnished
benefits to the operatives in protected
manufactures and to the rest of the people
, as well, the dispensing of these benefits
even protectionists must concede are under
the control of few protected employers
who compare in numbers to the remainder
OF the people as corporal's guard to an
army. Revenue tariff men do not claim
, that low tariff will make it possible for
any large part of the people to become
, wealthy and idle, but they do charge that

few, and that it taxes the necessaries of a
thousand families to furnish luxuries ia
