The Queens Speech.

The Queens speech is commonplace,
as always. and possesses the virtue Of
being short. II in no wise foreshadows
the stormy session of Parliament that
recent events in Great Britain have led
many to predict. The two most impor-
tant matters touched upon are the Al
CHAN boundary question and the Irish
problem. Respecting the former the
hope is expressed that in view OF the
completion of the demarcation all posi-
bility of misunderstanding between Eng
land and Russia regarding Asian posses
sioas has been removed. This can hardly
be considered reassuring, though it was
doubtless intended to be, but it Is perhaps
about all that could be expected. SAILS
BURY, wboinspired the speech, recognizes
that the Russian bear, like its namesake
when the latter is chained to q stake,
keeps up continuous pacing to and fro.
The well-worn path is from the Balkans
to Central Asia. At one end the path is
barred by the Central Powers at the
other by England. Should Russia deem
it inexpedient 70 attempt to pass the
western limit OF the path rs laid down
by the triple alliance, we may expect to
hear any day OF her trying TO cross the
eastern limit as marked ont by England.
Indeed all the while that public
attention has been centered on
Russia's movements in Europe she
has been steadily prosecuting the
work OF railroad extension in Asia, until
now she is almost at the gates Of Aerat.
In view of this we can well understand
why the Queen was not more confident
or explicit in referring to matters in the
East. As TO the reference the speech
makes 10 Ireland it would seem to inn
ply that SALISBURY has no intention of
receding from his policy in respect to
that unfortunate country. That policy
many think will be found the greatest
stumbling block in his path, II not the
cause Of his downfall.

Blaine.

The Bristol NeWs viii be glad to learn
that our favorite Republican candidate
for President is far ahead of its favor
ite. The statement was made in our tele-
graphic columns yesterday that OF the
subcommittee OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee every member except
one had expressed his belief that BLAINE
would be the choice of his State in the
next Republican National Convention.
Where are the Virginia Blaineites that
they do not avail themselves of eide "
which taken at its flood may "lead
to fortune?" BLAINE is Just as poph-
lar in Virginia as he is III the other
States All that is needed in order to
send to Chicago a solid BLAINE delega-
ton from this State is a little courage
and independence. The ball needs only
to be started. Once started it will nc
Guire increased momentum day by day.
SHERMAN has no strength either in
Virginia or elsewhere. No man will
ever be nominated for President who has
once aided in stealing the presidency.
For several years we have been trying
on occasion to impress this thought upon
our readers. Even Ohio can hardly be
kept solid for SHERMAN. And yet it
would seem that the Republicans of Nir-
ginia propose to sit down in idleness and
allow MALONE, a renegade Democrat, to
send SHERMAN delegates to Chicago.
These Virginia Republicans now have
an opportunity to put themselves
at the head Of the BLAINE movement in
this State. They would risk nothing in
so doing. BLAINE will certainly be
nominated il he desires to be nomi
mated and the men who "who set it
mp" for him in Virginia will have lien
upon all the fat Government offices in
case BLAINE should be elected. But
here's the weak point BLAINE isn't
going to be elected. And so we will stop.

Well, let ms inquire how that is. The
United States consumed in 1885 (the
latest figures we havo) 1897, 445 tons OF
sugar, of which only 100, $40 tons, or less
than one tenth, was of domestic produc-
ton. The revenue from sugar was IN
round numbers fifty millions oil
dollars; and, therefore. if Professor
PERRY's theory is a sound one, the
people paid a tax OF two hundred
millions of dollars, or nearly n dollar
pound. on domestic sugar But the
fact is. as we have indicated, that there
was not over seven millions of dollars
worth of domestic sugar produced III
this country that year. Here is little
error of about two hundred millions OF
dollars in the case of one article. Again.
currants, figs, lemons, oranges, piums'
prunes, raisins. almonds, fifberts, wal
nuts, &c, yielded in 1885 85, areyenue OF
three millions OF dollars. Did the people
OF the United States pay twelve millions
of dollars TO the domestic growers OF
nuts that are not produced in this coun-
try at all? Or is there not here another
little error of ten or twelve millions OF
dollars ? Again: Cotton manufactures
yielded in 1885 $50 twelve millions OF dol
lars of revenue. Did We pay forty-eight
millions of dollars to cotton manuiactu-
rers in this country? If so, how did 1t
happen that we exported thirteen MIL
! lions of dollars worth Of cotton manufac-
lures But really cotton goods are
ridiculously cheap" Liquors OF all
kinds yielded in 1SS5-'66 seven millions
of revenue. Did We pay twenty-eight
millions more to the manufacturers OF
champagne, French brandy, beer, wbis-
KEY, &C.. &c, in this country? or
course not. There is no real French
brandy or champagne made in this conn
try; and the internal tax on whiskey
excludes the idea that We paid four
times as much taxes on liquors OF all
kinds as the customs-duties amounted to.
Silk manufactures yielded thirteen mil
| lions of revenue the same year. DID
we pay in addition fifty-two millions
! to the silk-growers of this country ?
Certainly not. Here is another error OF
fifty millions: Leaf tobacco yielded
about five millions of customs-duties.
Did our people pay in addition twenty
millions of dollars to the tobaccO-grow-
ers? Everybody knows that the price
Of leaf tobacco is fixed abroad. Cigars,
cheroots, &C., yielded three millions OF
dollars. Did we, who sell cigarettes all
over the world, pay twelve millions OF
dollars in addition?
But enough. Professor PERRY is
wrong. If he were not mistaken every
man would feel bound in duty to advocate
direct taxes rather than submit to the
wrong of paying twenty, or fifteen, or
ten, or FIVE dollars of tariftaxes where
two dollars of direct taxation would an
swer the same purpose.
