leaving the Iron City for eastern metro
polises. A few days since, when max
ing the jump from Pittsburgh to Phila
delphia on one of these famous vestibuIe
expresses, l observed that the Pennsyl
yania railroad was rapidly replacing it,
old bridges with mamoth, solid struc-
lures OF masonry, and in speaking OF this
TO an employe OF the road, ascertained
that the idea OF American superiority in
railroad systems extends even to parties
supposed to be conYeBant with systems
In vogue in other countries. The great
English railroad-the London & North.
western-has all OF It's bridges built Of
stone, and from its system Of "block
signals" the American roads have extern
sively copied. The capital Of this road
is greater than the combined wealth oil
several OF our leading American roads,
being s5oo,OOo,oOo.
Their system embraces LOO miles,
extending through some OF the most
beautiful and historic portions of Eng
land. But owing TO the wealth and in
lluence OF many English mobiles, much
Of the picturesque scenery OF North.
western England along the road is hid
from view by the many long tunnels the
road was compelled to build to gain n
fright OF way The $4,000 attaches OF
this road, known as railroad servants"
are OF a lower class and exert less in
tluence than men occupying similar posi-
tons in our free protected America.
Another feature Of this great English
road, and certainly very pleasant one,
is the absence OF all smoke and those
frequently occurring and annoying de-
tentions due to shot boxes" on our
American coaches. But another class
OF "hot boxes" extensively prevails in
the Free Trade land Of Johnny Bull;
those found in the offices OF vast corpor-
ations which Free Trade has rendered
pc !sible to exist on every square yard OF
English soil-I refer 70 the offices OF
those British magnates who fear, and
with good reason, the reinstating OF the
grand old party, which has always cried
and now cries louder than ever, "Pro-
lection to American industries and to
American workingmen"

If the poor little lambs Of America
could only realize the mighty uproar
they are causing in the councils OF the
nations, we would not be surprised to
see them assuming the attitude OF Pro:
tectionists and baaing their disapproval
Of the importation Of (s)cheap wool.
What Il pity for us, that upon all our
barren hill-sides and uncultivated tracts
Of land, we cannot raise but 45,0OO,OC0
sheep, while England, Scotland and
Ireland, with combined area less than
one-half the present size OF Texas, eau
raise 25,0OO,0O0. II is surprising that
Americans will send so far across the
water and pay so much for an article
which could and should he raised in our
own country. We should be exporters,
not importers OF wool.

West Virginia for years has not at
tracted so much attention us at pres
ent. Now, on the eve OF future OF great
development and prosperity, she stands
confronted with the vital question OF Il
Republican Protective Tariff, or Demo.
cratic Free Trade! Her citizens should
be instructed rs to the true meaning OF
these terms and their important relation
to the affairs OF their State. \ few days
ago, in Charleston, man possessing
more than ordinary intelligence, re-
marked that he was going TO vote for
Cleveland and Thurman, because he did
not wish to see American mills and lac
tories closed by European pauper com
petition Such gross ignorance demands
the immediate attention Of the Rcpubli-
can campaign managers OF the State; for
this individual is but one OF large class
Of misipIormed voters. This is but one
Of the many instances during the pres
ent campaign in which the Democrats
have suppressed the truth to the further
anCe OF their own ends. Let West Vir-
ginia aid in the reelection Of GFoyer
Cleveland and she prepares for herself a
funeral, the corpse, her industries
the mourner, her unemployed work
ingmcn!
During n recent stereoptican exhibi'
ton on the beach at Asbury Park, Nd,
faces OF well known public men were
thrown on the canvass, and us the vast
concourse OF spectators was composed OF
citizens from nearly every State in the
Union, their applause and misses were
significant. Some applause greeted each
well known face, until the features oil
our beloved Garfield appeared, when a
storm OF applause drowned the roaring
of the pillows for some minutes. soon
appeared the face OF Grover Cleveland,
A decidedly fattcring likeness, but even
its artistic merits failed to elicit more
than n moments applause and a few
shrill whistles from the youthful Free
Trade mule drivers on the beach. The
"Old Roman" and his insignia OF an
archy, his bandanna, was received WIN
mingled applause and laughter; but the
overwhelming outhurst Of enthusiasm
the grand inspiration Of the evening
greeted the appearance of the strong
face of BENJAMIN Harrison, encircle6
BY the stars and stripes! The continued
exhibition OF feeling then displayed
clearly demonstrated that the sympa
thies Of this multitude, gathered fron
every section, were in accord with The
principles and aims of the Republican
party in seeking to protect every work

prosperous country. Such spontaneous
tributes are more valuable than tn

Classification and
Premiums.

The following classification of articles is in
tended merely 10 indicate the charac er Of
each department. SO that exhibitors ofartic.s
not named may easily determine in which de-
partment to make application for space. The
management desires il 70 be expressly under
stood that every object. method or process
which can be displayed at an exposition Of this
character possessing merit, either in point Of
utility or attractive novelty, whether related
TO fine art. science. or industrial art. will be
an acceptable contribution.

upon such fact We base the future CONNER
cial growth Of Richmond.
No power can keep her back. she has al
ready increased In the last ten years more
than any city in the Union.
Thus situated. with the tides Of the sea and
the passes Of the mountains in her favor,
Richmond presents greater advantages com
mercially than any other city in the United
States.
!. She has from her commanding position
the largest and most productive back-country
Of any city in the United States.
III. She is by virtue of her position the great
distributing depot Of Virginia. North Carolina

WHERE Is RICHMOND
PONDER LOOK TO YOUR MAPS.

Taking a map Of North America and follow
ing the lines Of trakc II is found that Rich
moni is for the manufacturer, merchant and
farmer, nearer all points south of line
drawn from the North line of Virginia TO Lake
Superior than New York. Nearer all points
south of line drawn from Washington City
to the north corner Of Montana than New
York or Philadelphia. Nearer also all points
south Of re from Washington City 10 north
line Of California than New York. Philadel-
phia or Baltimore. In "A word. she is better
located closer and more directly in contact
with the great West than any of the Eastern
cities. This is a bold statement, yet true, and
