Fl. st. George Tucker is the standard

Tenth district. and he will make canvass
that will be rememb ered for years to come

stands firmly on historic Democratic prin-

questions and his mind is richly stored
with tie knowledge necessary for the sue
cessTul public man. He is we'll educated,
being graduate of Washington and Lee
University, and possessing literary tastes
and ability of high order. He is we'll
read lawyer, who has taken a high stand
at the bar, and strong debater, who
speaks with ease and eloquence. He is
one of the most promising young men in

from the Richmond whig.]
In the Tenth district FL. St. George
Tucker, Esq, has been chosen the Demo-
cratic standard bearer, and great conf
dence is felt that he will make not only a
brilliant, but a successful canvass. He is
son of Hon. j. Randolph Tucker, who
represented that district in Congress for
twelve years, and Is regarded as one of the
mOSU lubelleCtudl anu promising young
men in the State. He inherits much of
his fathers talent as a public speaker,
and has established a high reputation as
lawyer. He will make his mark In Con-
gresS.
from the Nelson Examiner.l
While Mr.. Tucker was not our first
J choice, his nomination is very saocisfacto-
ry to US, and we Think that 1t will be so to
the penpieOf the Tenth district. He is
young man of fine abilities, of good &C
quirements, and of high character. Both
as public speaker and a genial gentle
man, he is too we'll known to our people
TO need any introduction from us. Let us
all now go to work, and roll up a great
majority for Cleveland, Thurman, Tucker
and Tax Reform.

dred and twenty million dollars external fax Gmport duties.) Of late years we find that these two items give us one hundred nillioR dollars each year more than we need. Very well, take of tho internal tax and make the external tax heavier, If need be, to foot all our bills, and if anyone in this country de" sires an imported article let him pay dou- ble price for it or more. Then we will all be busy at good wages and be able to buy and sell at good prices everything we desl
 tokhand1e. During the past three years eVes ry government officer has been compelled to look through free trade spectacles, exports have dwindled away, while imports have largely increased; millions of dollars worth of dutiable goods have been allowed to slip in free of duty; secured wools worth sixty cents pound, which formerly paid thirty cents pound duty, are now allowed to come in under the same duty (ten cents 8 pound) as woolen rags worth five cents pound, and the result has been that those engaged in handling our own wools have lost in business-two million dollars in 1885. six million dollars in 1886 and seventeen million dollars in 1887-a plump twenty-five million dollars during the past three years. The wool men have had to take their medicine, and other industries will surely have to fol- low if the principle of low tariff, free trade, low prices, poor wages and no profit in busi- ness continues much longer The North has always seen and voted aright on this ques- tion, but how to manage the solid South, where, as an Alabama orator said the other day, we must suspend the laws during elec- tion and shoulder the shotgun, is a serious question

SOME PLAIN FACTS.

Facts are better than theories at any time. and those to whom the free trade theory looks attractive will find profit in consider ing the facts which clearly show the fallacy of that theory when applied to she industries of this country. President William Barbour of the famous thread manufacturing compa- ny has been making it very clear that free trade would not be g very good thing for the men who work for him in this country. His comprny was started in Ireland, and the for- eign trade was supplied entirely from the Irish factory until protection was established in the United States. Then the factory at Paterson, New Jersey, was established to supply the American market. Recently, since Germany has adopted the protective policy, the company have found it necessary to establish factory in that country also, which has heretofore been supplied from the mills in Ireland. The factory in Germany will employ five hundred hands at the start and is notable example of what protection will do in increasing the industries of a country; less notable, however, than the fac- tory at Paterson, where 1, ,500 hands are em- ployed, who draw aggregate wages almost
 
 factory in Ireland. None of the Irish opera tives owns the house he lives in, while in Paterson many have paid for and many are paying for good homes. Some of them have saved. up considerable sums of money on which they draw interest, while none of the Irish oper atives ever had wages enough to get ahead, and none of them who came to the Paterson factory ever wanted to go back again.
 The Barbours have imported some of their own thread into this country because labor is so cheap in the Irish factory that they can do so and still make profit under the 40 per cent. duty. The Mills bill proposes to reduce the duty to 25 per cent, and MT. Barbour says: Instead of decreasing the rev. enue to the government on this particular article such reduction would increase it three-fold, because we would make a great deal less thread here, and great deal more over there. This, of course, is providing we were to continue to pay the same wages here we are paying now. During the past three years or SO the revenue on linen thread has been growing smaller aud smaller, ow- ing to the increase in factories and facilities here for making it. If the government let 1t increase the tariff; then only the very finest grades, which we cannot make here with our well-paid labor, would be imported.
 It is not to be wondered at that Mir. Bar bour's employees at Paterson are all for pro- lection. They know we'll what is good for them

THE NAVAL AOADRMY.

Requirements Necessary for 8 Boy to
 polls.
 Lieutenant Kelley in Harper's Magazine for July
 The students of this national college are
 called officially s'naval cadets on probation"
 the traditional title of midshipman having
 been changed first to cadet midshipman,
 and subsequently-so the engineer pupils
 might be included-to that now employed.
 Their number is limited by law to one ca.
 det for every member or delegate of the
 House of Representatives and to eleven oth-
 ers-ten at large and one from the District
 of Columbia-appointed by the President.
 As the age of admission falls between the
 limits of fourteen and eighteen, and the
 course extends six years, it follows unfor-
 tunately that in certain districts appoint- ments may not be open more than onceE in that period, thus making one-third of it's boys unavailable by reason of age. The rem edy proposed for this is only one of fifty good reasons why the course should be reduced from six to four years.
 To pass successfully the candidate must be physically sound and of robust consti- tuition, have 8 sufficiently thorough knowl- edge of arithmetic, algebra, geography, English grammar, United States history, reading, writing and spelling, and when appointed, be ready to take an oath to serve for eight years, including the probas tionary period. When a vacancy is likely to occur in any district, the Secretary of the Navy must notify it's congressional rep reBentative as soon as possible after the 9th of March in each year, and if by the 1st of the following July no action has been taken, the privilege lapses, and the Seore- retary is empowered to make the nonina- tion. As this system permits the choice of candidate to be deferred until the May examination is really over, or, as in the majority of cases, until the academic year is about to open, it would seem to be inf nitely better if candidate and an alternate were named at least one year previous to the May examination. This would enable the applicant to pursue course specially fitted as 8 direct preparation for his profess ! sional duties, and if successful, to go at once upon cruise, which would teach him de6- nitely his immediate aptitude for sea life. | On the other hand, should the principal fail, I an alternate stood ready to face the same ordeal.
 The low standard of admission is based upon the theory that the possibilities of the academy must be open so freely to boys of every condition as to make it. what it is undoubtedly-the most demos cratic government school in the world. Practically this very just theory impairs the efficiency of the academy, as it pins the qualifications at a point which vigorously prohibits the energies of the teachers and to the average scholars being directed im- mediately to the branches of education
 connected with the naval profession. En-
 trance examinations are held in May and Sep-
 tember.
