President Cleveland, in his second run
adds great personal success OF his own
to that of his party. lie has rclofmeu
the civil service, made the consular ser
vice more dignifed AMI intelligent aud
in every way raised the tone OF political
power lie has boldly challenged the
champions of monopoies and pools TO
DO battle, and with every prospect OF
beating them.
Not only are the heads OF the executive
departments of the Federal Government
under Mr. Cleveland guiltiess of the
usurpatons of power and contempt ioF
constitutional limitations so frequent
under his predecessors, but their subor-
dinates also have been free from the
profligate extravaganza and unspcakabie
corruption of former times.
In fact the faults Of the \ administration
where any can be found are only mistakes
that any President might make. They
are not willful, but simply mistakes.

DIR SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE.

Mr. Bacon, our consul to Moicvideo says
the trade Of Mexico, of the West lndies
and of Central and South American
States (expor,s and Imports amounts 10
100000, 900 per year. These countries
have an aggregate population OF 4oooo'-
900 people and an area OF s''oo'ooo
square miles.
The South American countries produce
different products from those OF the
United States, and our trade conditions
ought TO be such as to exchange on far
terms.
Those countries lying within the tenn
perate zone produce immense quantities
of hides and superior woods, which they
are anxious 10 exchange for our manu-
featured stufIs. Notwithstanding these
conditions, and the fact that the unl'ed
States are nearer than European coun-
tries 10 South American markets, oni oil
annual trade of 100000 600 our share
is only about one fifth.

ASH Nothing Had Happened.

4 few years after the war gentleman

family. and living at the time in the
county of Patrick, fifty miles from any
railroad station, very few Of the darlties

The part that the Virginia Democracy
has to play in the coming national contest
is not so easy as the first glance would
indicate when the sky is Illuminated with
the bright augures Of victory The peo-
,ple of the State have been 10 a great
extent lead of from just principles and
taught by alleged Democratic newspapers
that the Republican idea of protective
tariff was productive of development and
guarantee prosperity in the very line
that the people need.
The Democratic party could not have
avoided the issue against that idea ever
If it wanted to do so. Opinion has be-
come 30 far enlightened in the last few
years that people are not any longer
blinded by the simple assertion of a
party. They want logical adjustment
of taxes for the support of the Govern
ment not for the enrichment of monop-
olists, who are granted royal bounties
in the right to manipulate the markets.
The platform has not lodged the i'm
portant issue, and it declares that "of all
the industrious freemen OF our land, the
immense majority, including every Iiller
of the soil, gain no advantage from the
excessive tax laws, but the price of nearly
everything they buy is increased by the
favoritism of the unequal system of tax
legislation. All unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation"
