Gentlemen beg to acknowledge

regard the action of the Democratic

same fidelity that characterized him.
For years past, il is well known. we
have cO-operated with the Democratic
party and supported its candidates in
every contest which involved the control
Of our State government, and | but fol-
low now in his footsteps as an advocate
for Mr. Cleveland's reelection, and in
the support of the Democratic nominee
for Congress-
believe that the present recuperation
OF our country from its past condition is
due 10 the conservative manhood OF our
own people, aided greatly by the wise
and patriotic line OF conduct adopted by
the President, and that our main reli-
ance for quiet and self-government in
our local affairs. which means peace and
prosperity for us here in the South. lies
IN the continuance of MIR. Cleyeland's
administration.
He has proved himself devoted to the
welfare Of our whole country. Under
his great leadership sectional issles have
been driven backward, aud by the favor
of divine Providence will become sim
ply recollection.
Believing this. and knowing that the
hearts Of the people OF whom / am and
With whom my every interest is identi-
fed are knit together with kindred
feeling on this point. ask my fellow
citizens TO subordinate all other issues TO
this one, which appeals to every hearth
stone in the district, and TO unite with
me in casting the vote OF Virginia for
one who has aided us ia tho past aud
who will stand shoulder TO shoulder with
US in the future.

father.

A large dealer in tobacco has handed
10 us the following article:
Is wheat taxed, or corn or wool or cot
ton or sugar or coal or iron or any other
product Of the soil or mines OF the United
States entering into the daily consump-
ton OF its citizens?
is there any product OF the soil OF this
broad land subjected to taxation except
tobacco? Are taxes now imposed upon
patent medicines, matches, perfumes, or
other products of ingenuity OF our eiti'
zens?
Why is the wartax upon the toll and
industry OF the farmer and the solace OF
the poor workingman in his leisure
hours still retained?
Is there any necessity for the revenue
on this particular product OF our soil,
which has been 80 unfortunately asso-
ciated with whiskey?
What has tobacco to do with whiskey 2
Whiskey is not product oil the SOIL
and to the manor born, like tobacco.
wbiskey is distilatlon of the earth's
best fruits after recipe OF mans worst
enemy.
Tobacco in colonial days WAS as good
as gold, the currency of the country. .
Why should it be the only product OF
our soil singled out TO be taxed when the
war necessitating taxation ceased nearly
a mans age ago, and when our Treasury
is overlooking?
Why should the producer still be con-
fined by law to dispose of his product
to a limited few and be forced by law to
maintain, foster, and subsidize mono
poles created by war-taIes.
Justice demands the immediate repeal
of all laws taxing the agricultural pro-
ducts Of our citizens and interfering
with the free exchange Of their toll.
This before tariff and bounties.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER Is. 1883.
We Have Tracked HIM.

Mr.. HARRISON cannot complain il he
is wounded with one OF his own arrows.
He doubts the sincerity Of Democrats
who now say they are not for free trade.
How as to his pretended opposition to
tobacco taxes?
In the United States Senate February
9, 1855, when internal taxes were under
consideration. Mr. BECK moved to strike
out twelve and insert eight 20
that the internal tax on snuff and
manufactured tobacco should be eight
cents. The tax was then sixteen cents,
but the Finance Committee had re-
ported in favor Of reducing it to twelve
cents. Then Mr.. BECKs motion came
up.
On this motion Mr.. HARRISON voted
in the negative That he did so delibo-
rately is doubly proved by the fact that
lie first voted "No," then withdrew his
vote because he WAS paired, and finally
renewed his vote in the negative. See
Congressional RecDrd Of February 3,
1883, page 1876.
February 16, 1883, Mr.. GoRMAN offered
an amendment repeating all taxes on
manufactured tobacco. snuff, and cigars,
and all special or license taxes on deal
ers in such articles and on retail dealers
in tobacco. On this amendment Mr.
HARRISON voted "No." Sec Congress
