POLITICAL.

At last the two big factions which
make up the Democracy of New
York city have agreed to Disagree.
The die was cast by Tammany Hall
which put in the field Il ull.Hedged
Wigwam ticket. 1t is headed by
Sheriff Grant, who, by the way,
was the unsuccessful champion of
Tammany in the mayoralty fight of
four years ago. Tue County Demo.
cracy followed suit promptly, plac
ing Mayor Hewitt in denomination.
The impression among Demo
Gratis OF New York that this will
add votes to the National ticket is
very general; and this, too, is based
upon history. The only time Il
Democrat has succeeded in getting
enough votes in New York city to
land him in the White House was
under precisely similar conditions.
On the other hand when all fac.
tons were Joined eight years ago,
Hancock WAS mercilesSly knitted
This view is also accepted by the
National Committee. All indica-
tons favor the triumph of Mayor
Hewitt, who has been endorsed by
large body Of independents usl
ally found in the Republican col.
umn.
Four Years ago Clevcland's ma
joiity in New York city was 10000.
Gov. Hill did a good deal better
two years later This year the
Democratic managers place the
majority for the National ticket at
at least 25,000, and claim with rc.l
son Il gain OF six to seven thousand
in Brooklyn and Kings county.
There is not the slightest cause for
alarm about New York State.
The news from Connecticut and
New Jersey is also very favorable.
Particular attention is being given
by the party managers to the little
Nutmeg State, which is always more
or less eccentric at election times.
A recent private poll gives the
Democrats 5000 plurality-about
as much as any one ever gets in
that State. Democratic gains in
the recent town elections amply
justify this claim.

SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA FARM
ElSS AND THE TARIFF.

The majority Of the people of
Southwest Virginia are farmers
very intelligent class Of farmers,
who are fully aware that, III com
mon with the great body OF the
people of the United States en-
gagged in agricultural pursuits, they
derive very few benefits or advan
tases from high tariff system
compared with the many eXactions
and imnoSitions they suffer from it..
Hence they are not apt 10 be moved
by the urgent appeals of the Re.
publican papers Of that district to
help to 'protect" its mineral re
sources and special industries by
lallying to the support of Harrison
and Morton.
Asa matter of fact, there isn't Il
single mineral interest of South
west Virginia that isn't amply pro.
tected under the provisions of the
Mills bill 1t places a duty Of rs
cents ton Oh iron ore; u duty OF
six dollars per ton OH pig iron and
iron kentledge; Il duty Of eleven
dollars per ton on iron and steel
railway bars; a duty of seven tenths
of one cent per pound on bar iron,
and so on through the list of iron
manufactures.
IL places copper ore on the free
list, but OIL copper clippings it
places duty Of one cent per pound
and on copper in plates: bars or in.
got, a duty Of two cents per pound.
On lead ores and lead dross it
imposes duty Of three fourths of
one cent per pound; on lead in bars
or pig n duty of one and one quar-
ter cents per pounds; and OH lead
in sheets, pipes or shot, duty of
two and and one quarter cents per
pound.
On zinc, spelter or tutenegue in
blocks or pigs it places a duty OF
one and one-quai'ter cents per
pound; and in sheets two cents Der
pound.
On bituminous coal and sllale il
imposes duty of seventy-five cents
per ton of twenty eigM bushels, and
on coal slack or culm, such as will
Clinch Valley news. [volume] (Jeffersonville, Va.) 18??-2019, 1888-10-12

pass through half inch screen, II
duty OF thirty cents per ton of
twenty.eight bushels.
So much for the mineral inter-
estS OF Southwest Virginia. Now
as to II matter which more nearly
concerns the agriculturist of that
section. This is wool The Mills
bill places it OIL the free list, and il
anybody has any cause to complain
about it, il is the farmers, because
they produce wool. Let us see how
it will affect them.
The total value of the annual
wool product of Southwest Virginia
doesn't amount to fifty cents per
capita of the population, whereas,
Oh an average every family OF five
persons i'll the district spends fully
500 for WOODEN goods, clothing, etc !,
during the year. Taking the tariff
of of wool (say ten cents per
pOund) would have the effect Of
cheapening WOODEN goods at least
twenty per cent. So that each fam
lily Of five persons would save so.
or 81 per capita on their yearly
purchases of wooden goods, while
the reduction in the price Of wool
would DC scarcely noticeable.
But even admitting that the ro-
duction would he equal to the tariff
tax (tcn cents per pOund) the farm
els would still be largely the gain
ers.
Surprising that on an average
each farmer in Southwest Virginia
OWLS ten sheep, and that they pro.
duce five pounds Of wool each, or
fifty pounds altogether, his loss by
the removal of the tariff would only
be s.; whereas his gain would he
at least $50 in cheaper clothing, es
timating that he and his family
only use 500 worth of WOODEN
goods Il year. Most farmers, how
ever, spend two or three times that
amount, and hence the Mills bill
looks to their prosperity and wei.
fare as well as to that of the re.
nlaindcr Of the people who wear
WOODEN clothing but Ito not produce
wool.
AS with the tariff on wool, so
with all the other Republican pre-
lenses of protecting the farmer"
They protect" him to the amount
OF Il dime and tax him to the extent
of Il MISUNDERSTANDING Virginian.

A Strong Point Wen Taken.

MIR. McMillin, of Tennessee, puts
the whole tariff discussion in a nut.
shell. His summing up of the case
between the Republicans and the
Democrats was done in single SEN
tence, which the worlslngmen OF
this country would do well to keep
in mind. We are SO situated just
now that we must choose between
the two horns of dilemma, as Mr..
McMillin said-namely: "Whether
we will reduce the tax on whiskey
or the tax on clothing-in- other
words, reduce the tax on that with
out which men can live and prosper,
or on that which is essential to
their existence and comfort" He
then added crowding the question
at issue into a terse and forcibIe
statement of fact, that anarrows

came to the unanimous conclusion
that the determination of the In

der the particular circumstances of
this case of the title of its members
to their seats is conclusive upon the
Senate, and therefore that the per-
sons who voted in the election of

Protection VS.. Overtaxa,ton.

In 1880 the total production of
manufactured goods in the United
States was, in value, $1,000, O70, 191.
Wages paid to produce these goods
were S947, 953 1895, which is less
than Is per cent. of the production.
And yet the workingmen are ev-
erywhere told that the present tariff
of over ID per cent. must be contin-
ued in order to maintain the exist
ing rate of wages; that it is for their
benefit that the consumers of the
country are heavily taxed upon the
commonest necessities of life, and
that any reduction of war taxes to
the needs of the government will
close up our mills and workshops,
and precipitate blue ruin upon the
countryl
But the people are neither fools
nor ignoramuses. Andrew Carne-
gie's workmen, for instance, who
have just been forced to accept re-
duction in wages rather than see
their places taken by imported
Hungarians, know that the protect
ion of "a per cent. which Nh. earn
egie enjoys on steel rails may have
been necessary to enable him to put
profits of a million and half dol
lars into his pocket last year, but need
not be SO altitudinous merely to en-
able him to pay fair wages in the
manufacture of goods wherein the
labor cost is less than 20 per cent.
of the value of the output.
Tho truth is that the tariff issue
to-day is an issue between honest
protection and overtaxation be
tween nti-monopoly and monopoly.
The Republican tariff of 1857 aver
aged but 1884 per cent and under
it American labor found ample pro-
lection. 1t was increased during
the war to 48.35 per cent, and at
present averages 5416 per cent.
The reduction proposed by the Mills
bill will still leave a tariff averag-
ing 33.34 per cent which is almost
double the Republican tariff of 1857,
and much more than sufficient to
cover the difference in cost of pro-
duction here and abroad, whether of
labor, raw material or interest on
capital. But it will cut down the
enormous profits of protected CAPT
tai and loosen the grasp of the trusts
and combines formed to plumber the
people, and so we see them to-day
banded together to resist all demand
for lessened taxes and under the
shield that falsely bears the legend
of protection to American labor,
striving to perpetuate method of
taxation in excess of all needs, and
which takes from the people five
dollars for private purposes for ev-
cry dollar that it carries to the pub
lie treasury.
Since the war all the taxes that
were laid on the rich have been re-
moved by the party that takes such
a benevolent interest in taxing the
country into PROSPERITY Thes,tax
on capital, on incomes, on bank de-
posts and all other war taxes that
fell on the rich are gone. But the
war tax that the wage-earner paid
in 1865 he must pay to-day on the
pretense that 55 per cent. tariff is
necessary to maintain Is per cent.

Andrew Carnegie, the great iron
manufacturer who bellows aloud for
the highest degree of protection,
and whose profits under protection
were several millions last year, has
reduced the wages of his laborers to
S120 per day II hours work. They
struck, of course, and he is import
ing Huns by the carload to take the
place of the strikers. This illus
trates the beauty of the protective
tariff, as it protects only the manu-
facturers. The laborers have to
compete with each other for the
privilege of working, and work for
what they can get. If the price
they are willing to work for is not
satisfactory to the capitalists he inn
ports Italians, Hungarians, Socialists,
Anarchists, or anything he can get,
and American labor is squeezed out.
