American Shipping.

In 1856 the total ya1ue OF our foreign
commerce was $641, 604 $50, and of this
S4SS, 1852 or rs per cent, was carried in
American ships. The total value of our
foreign commerce in 1887 was 81, 40S. 502,-
s7s, and only $194, 356, TAG of this, 1873 per
cent, was carried In American ships.
The decline has been gradual and contin-
uous until the American flag has been al
most driven from the ocean, ana the cause
is that every government but our own aids
the owners OF its shipping, while ours alb
solutely discriminates against It's own ships
in favor of others.
No other country In the world could
stand the continuous drain upon Its re-
sources of paying year after year to for
eign ship owners over $3.50 ZOO, 900 to trans
port its freight. The amount paid thus in
ten years past would rebuild tn. American
navy, fortffy the coasts, erect every public
building the country needs, make every
river in the country nayigable, and add SIS
per capita to the circulation of the country
on specie basis.

Senator sherman speaks.

Senator Sherman opened the campaign
OF 'SS by speech of great power. The
challenge which the President 80 rashly
flung to the country, and which was so
promptly accepted by Mr.. Blaine's Paris
dispatch, was made ridiculous bv this ex-
position of free trade fallacies.
Mr. Shermsn's arraignment of Democratic
failure to meet the expectation Of the coun-
try in the furtherance Of great public works
was plain and conclusive. There can be nc
doubt that to this failure is due large part
of the hardship arising from the great ac-
emulation of the surplus. His charge
that the President and the Democratic
House have made no effort to reduce the
surplus, save such as involved the impair
ment or destruction OF the protective sys-
tenn, was equally clear and convincing. His
analysis of the tariff duties, as bearing on
revenue and protection, was full of infor-
nation calculated to inspire thought, and
to confirm the wisdom of the American sys-
tenn OF taxation.
Senator Sherman's speech should be read
by every citizen Of the United States. It
will increase the great regard previously
entertained for him as a political leader,
and 1t will have great influence In pro
noting Republican principles. The vigor
of his blows inspires confidence, and the
clearness of his argument confirms the
faith OF all who believe in American enter
prise, and who would exalt American ideas.

TEE Galveston Neaus SAYS

The tariff has caused American rails to cost
double what they wou cost Without it, and
everything which passes over the rails must
pay this cost.
Yes, steel rails were costing $40 ton to
import them when tariff was put upon
them, and now they are quoted at S32 so
per toD, and the production of American
mills last year amounted TO 1895, 1914 tons,
with total value of nearly $50, 600, 600.
The Neaos's statement is about as near the
truth as could be expected from freq
trade Democratic paper.

onslaught upon the internal revenue sys-
tenn OF taxation. To be sure the assault
was tempered slightly by his companion
assault on the protected classes,n but
were the Executive very sensitive man he
would feel sorely the hurt dealt at his
favorite method of taxation, the internal
revenue laws. He consoles himself that no
matter what may be the difference on mat
tiers OF principle or policy, all these recalcl-
trant Democrats must support him for re-
| election on his own platform, and that
after all tulfills the chief object Of political
being.

SOME days since the NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN quoted from Alexander Hamilton
celebrated report to Congress in 1891, as
Secretary of the Treasury, showing that a
protective policy wnica built up home
manufactures would certainly cheaper the
price Of goods. Tne Galveston Ne,os says
OF this:
The sublime impsd ,nce and baseless as
sumption of the protect ,nsts cannot be better
Illustrated than by reproducing the following
from the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, of Washing

OF course it was 'tbaseless assumption"
for Alexander Hamilton, the most trusted
adviser OF the Father OF his c, untry, to
predict precisely what has p ened, and
Sublime impudence" upon the part of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN to gu tie what
Hamilton said to the confusion of the free
traders. But it is asinine stupidity on the
part of the Galveston Neaos, which leads IL
to expose its ignorance by such paragraphs
as the one quoted.

The Issues of the Next Campaign.
The Richmond Whi0 says:

After a careful reading of Senator Browns
speech. delivered In the Senate last Monday
in favor of the repeal of the internal revenue
laws, it seems surprising that any one whe
calls himself Democrat should differ with
him in regard to the propriety of that meas.
ure.
1t is generally believed that President
Cleveland calls himself Democrat, and
yet he said officially that there was ne
reason why the internal revenue laws
should be repealed.
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, which isn
a Democrat, agrees entirely with Senator
Brown when he says:
The present system of internal revenue lava

lucky statesmen, so-caled, may be in favor
of free trade, but New York Is not in favor of
any such ruinous theory, nor is Connecticut
nor New Jersey
This point is good one for tableaux
OF Democratic harmony, and the curtain
falls. The performance will be repeated
daily in different places. "Harmony" is
drawing card, and Democracy plays it with
shotguns loaded for bear.

Democratic organ" AS Democracy is pro-
fessed and practiced in Virginia teas an
nouncement is frank and honest but in truth
it should be said our Washington coutern-
porary is real exponent of the views of the
larger faction OF the national Den ratio
party, and, besides enforcing its opiI ion with
marked ability, is one of the best newspapers
we know of anywhere. Persons wishing to
keep up with both sides Of the political situa-
ton couldn't do better than subscribe 10 the
Post and its contemporary. the NATIONAL Re

prepared by Carlisle, Watters,n & Co., and
the latter is a tolerable fair xponent of the
principles of the Roanoke Democratic plat
form, if we may except an eiratc tendency
sometimes In the direction of bloody shirt

THIRTY. -FOUR months Of Democratic rule
results in piling up $642 $40, 200 in the
treasury of the United States, paralyzing
trade, diminishing values, reducing the cir

nearly producing panic.
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1888-01-26

How long large part of this republic
will be satisfied to feed upon Democratic
theories of political economy against &C.
knowledged facts Of history and current
events is problem impossible of solution.
They will remain faithful to Bourbonism
doubtless as long as ignorance is bliss to
those who know no other path Of happiness.
1t Is curious fact that in official life even
the Democratic theorists are obliged by
circumstances over which they have no
control to overturn their own fine spun
aognas. An official called upon for re-
port OF affairs just as they exist has no
choice Of opinions he must deal with cold
and solid facts. This is hew it happens
that the consular agents Of the government
are uniformly reporting conditions Of trade
and society In their locations abroad which
confirm the admirable benefits of the
American revenue System. They find that
the countries with revenue systems nearest
approaching the theory Of free trade are
poorest and tho most miserable in their
social conditions. Many Of them are I'M
willing Witnesses in this direction, and their
statements are all the more eloquent In
behalf Of the protective principle.
The most emphatic example OF Demo-
cratic facts flying In the face of Democratic
theories is Furnished by the late report Of
the commissioner of navigatien. For many
years the Democratic cry has been that pre-
lection was the blight of commerce and the
shipping interests. How this occurs they
never have been able to discover, even to
their own satisfaction. They have been con-
tent with assertion unsupported by proof.
States, and it is time to return to that
system.
Let the whole machinery Of the internal
revenue collection be swept aside; away
with the commissioner In charge of this
system, and the vast army of four thousand
under his command. That is, perhaps, the
wisest thing for the Congress of the United
States to do.
But, II that cannot be done, take the
odious and oppressive tax from tobacco
the only tax there is upon the farmers Of
the country. Remove the tax from fruit
brandy; give rebate upon all alcohol used
In the arts and manufactures, and take away
the duty upon sugar imported from any
country which does not levy an export
duty on that article and will allow our -four,
pork. and other agricultural products to
enter free OF duty. Germany would readily
agree to b proposition of this kind. France
and Austria would soon follow. Added to
this bounty should be given of Q cents a
pound on every pound Of sugar produced
in this country and offered for sale.
Either Of these methods would reduce the
revenue to, If not below. safe point, and
neither of them would injure any American
industry nor reduce the wages of any Amer
lean workingman.
