Especial Correspondence of the VIRGINIAN.l
The action of the Democratic National
Committee in naming st. Louis as the
place for holding the convention to romi-
nate candidates for President and Vice
President, and the selection of a date in
advance of that fixed for the Republican
Convention, is regarded as decided tri-
umph for the Cleveland wing of the party.
1t is understood to mean not only the
nomination Of Cleveland, but what is
of more significance, the adoption of a
free trade platform. The selection of the
date was in Difference to the wishes of Mr..
w. l.. Scott, one of the brainiest and bold
est of the revenue reformers, and was op-
posed ny such shrewd politician as Sen
ators German. Scott, and those who be-
leye with him, have the courage OF their
convictions. They see that Cleveland S
is a necessity. and that IN the
face of his last message it is no longer
practicable to dodge the tariff issue. On
the other hand, German fayors strict
adherence to the old party straddle, and
would like to build the platform as near as
possible to the Republican model. The
one is Northern Democrat, the other a
Southern Democrat, and the influences
thrown around each are reflected in their
respective views. AS usual, the Southern
interests are ignored. just as they were
ignored in the President message. it
being assumed that Solid South can be
relied on, no matter what platform may be
adopted or what interests imperiled. The
aim will be. therefore, to catch the mug
wumps of New England and the importers
of New York, all of whom are free traders
These, with solid South, are deemed
sufficient. Germans prophetic eye, how
ever, sees the strong tariff sentiment de-
veloping in the South, and knows that MA
terial interests cannot longer be held
subordinate to mere prejudice and the
magic of a name. Free wool, free iron
ore, free coal, will be the Democratic raj
lying cry in 1888, and we'll may the Mary
land statesman pause to contemplate the
effect of such shbboleth

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1888-03-01

The Washington Critic several weeks
ago, suggested the name of Justice Saml
F. Miller, of the q. S. Supreme Court. for
the Republican Presidential nomination.
Since the positive declension of Mr.. Blaine
as candidate, Judge Miller has been
brought prominently forward as one who
would restore harmony in the party, and
be endorsed by all the factions. If SO, by
all means let.him be nominated. We have
the votes to elect if we should have the
harmony.
Mr.. H. G. McCausiand has discovered
two veins of iron ore on his land, near
Black Rock Spring. One of the veins is
said to be sixty feet of solid ore, the other
forty-nine feet. We have no doubt that
theSouth river district. extending through
the eastern portion of the county, along
the western base of The Blue Ridge, will
prove to be the richest mineral section of
the State. or the South for that matter,-
The mining which has been done, as a
general thing, has been mere scratching.
There has been no systematic, intelligent
plan adopted or efforts put forth to expose
the minerals deposited there, nor has there
been means enough at the back of the
work that has been done. 1t will require
some capital, mining knowledge. and
staying qualities to make fair show of
what this district contains, and when
these are employed. we believe the result
will show an abundance of high grade iron
ore, as we'll as manganese. These iron
ores will become valuable under the Gill
christ. Thomas process of making steel, as
they contain just about the amount of
phosphorus to make them desirable ores
What we want is a reasonable amount of
capital and large amount of nerve. With
these, the South River District can be
demonstrated to be as rich in minerals as
any similar area of land in the Fwhole
copntry, Atleast that is our belief,

hi i admitted that we have an

Iris admitted that we have an
ADLER board Of county commission
ers than We have had for many
years. They are large property
holders, men of intelligence. and
actuated BY desire to relieve the
heavy burdens Of taxation that is
bringing ruin and distress upon our
aericulturists and business men.
Their recent exhibit of the financial
affairs of the county is appalling aud
demands new departure in the
collection of our taxes. 1t Is mis-
taken Kindness that permits a prop
erty holder to owe the county two,
three, or four or more years of tax
es. IL he cannot pay his taxes in
twelve months. he surely cannot
pay them in twenty four or thirty.six
months, because the amount grows
too large for his limited income. he
must make a sacrifice When pay
ment can no longer be postponed,
and his houses or lands are encum-
bered with a mortgage. This gives
temporary relief, but his burdens
are increased, and it is only ques-
ton of time before his houses and
lands pass into other hands. lie Is
a ruined man and his ruin has been
the work of procrastination on his
part, and indulgence of the tax-col-
lector on the other. A better and
more stringent law is needed to pro-
tect the owners of real estate against
themselves. When they know that
their taxes must be paid within a
certain time, they UiH be paid. In
the Golden time" when our far
mers owned broad acres of rich soil
and fifty or a hundred slaves, and
tobacco paid handsome profits, back
taxes were no buggabo. The COM
mission merchant would come to
the rescue, or "nigger" could be
sold.
With the sale Of $50, 900 of bonds,
the county can be put on a cash
basis, and with vigorous collection
of taxes can be kept so, to the ad-
vantage Of the county and the in
dividual taxpayer. We hope the
board will bear this in mind and
take measures to collect taxes when
they become due.

AMERICA has been a land of
peace, and consequently of few sol
dlers. and yet the cost of war in this
country for hundred years shows
that we are not far behind those
countries which are persistent
ly fighting. The war of the Revo-
luton cost the United States $780,
1913, 703, and the troops furnished
by the Colonies from 1775 to 1888
numbered $4,000. Then came
the war of 1912, in which All ,622
troops were engaged, and the cost
of which co the United States
amounted to $1e7,159,00. The
Mexican war came next, costing
800, 900, 900 and engaging 1Ol 1882
troops. But the war of the rebel
lion was what brought the aggre-
gate up to such formidable proper
tions. The Federal troops engaged
in that struggle numbered 1885,
1872, and the money cost to the Uni
ted States was SC, 1s9, 929, 900. In
these figures no account has been
taken of the millions paid out for
pensions, which should rightly be
charged to the respective wars of
which they we're the direct result.

Tar legislature finds itself oaugf

Tux legislature finds itself caught
in snap by the Public Printer
under the foolish law passed at the
last session, and Mr.. Dennis of
Somerset introduced this morning
another bill repeating the present
Law and re-enaeting the old one.
How such a law can remedy the evil
passes the comprehension of an old
printer. The old law is worse than
the new q J as it leaves the. door to
ssways that are dark" as wide open
as it ever was, with this difference
that the public printer under the
present law need not resort to lobby
ing for fat jobs, as they come to him
in lawful manner; but under the
old law, he must resort to, triOkery
to save himself from loss.
If Mr.. Dennis viii go back to the
days when the legislature was not
run By the third house, he will find
. much better law regulating the
public printing that is fair to
the State and to its employee. He
VIII find that the printing was salts
factorily done BY Annapolis prin-
ters at reasonable prices and with
economy to the State.

TO Assist Nature

In restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes infamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved. the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
TEfCIcmsN,s LITTER.

Allen e.. Thurman letter of accept
ance was given to tie pless yesterday.
He deals largely with the subject of the
tariff, and two extracts are sufficient to
show the drift of his remarks. He
says:
1.-The idea that people can be en-
riched by heavy and unnecessary taxa
ton, that mans condition con be inn
proved by taxing him on al he wears,
on all his wife and children wear, on all
his tools and implements of industry, is
an obvious absurtlity. TO fill the vaults
of the Treasury with m idle surplus for
which the Government has no legti-
mate use aud thereby to deprive the
people of the currency needed for their
business and daily wants and to create
powerful and dangerous stimulus to
extravaganza and corruption in the ex-
penditures of the Government seems to
me to be policy ut variance with every
sound privilege of government and po-
l.tical economy. The necessity of re-.
ducing taxation to prevent such an &C
emulation of surplus revenue, and the
consequent restriction of the circulating
medium, is SO apparent that no party
dayes to deny it.
1--WE seek to reduce taxes upon the
necessuries of life, and our opponents
seek to increase them. We soy give to
the masses of the people cheap and
good clothing, cheap blankets, cheap
tools and cheap lumber; the Republic
cans, by their platform, and their lead
ers in the Senate by their proposed bill,
say increase the taxes on clothing and
blankets, and thereby increase their
cost; maintain high duty on the tools
of tue farmers and mechanics, and up
on the lumber which they need for the
construction of their modest dwellings,,
shops and barns, and thereby prevent
them obtaining the necessaries ut rem
sonGbe prices. Can any sensible men
doubt as to where he should stand in
this controversy"

QUESTIONS FOR WORKERS

If high tariffs make high wages why
have tho workingmen of this country
those in the "protected" industries
most of all-been compelled to strike
for better wnges thousands of times
during the last fifteen years?
Why, if the tariff protects, has labor
found it necessary to organize for self
protection?
Why, If Protection insures abundant
employment, have 100000 work ers
suffered enforced idleness ut one time,
and hundreds of Thousands been shut
olt ut frequent intervals?
Why are wages from 80 to 60 per
cant. higher in the same industries in
different States that are nil under the
same tariff and subjected to free trade
among themselves?
Why are wages lower in the so-called
protected dustrics-miriug, mills,
manufactures, etc than in other forms
OF skilled labor carpenters, masons,
printers, etc?
Why are wages the lowest in the
most perfectly "protected" countries of
the world-Chinn, Russia and Spain
and higher in free trade England than
in any protected country of Europc2
