Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1888-03-04

In cnlcavoring 30 secure the votes OF
Minnesota and Michigan which, 10y tue
vav. will be secured Tor The Democrats
about the time that West Virginia and
Virginia go over 60 the Republicans
The Democrats in Congress should not
forget that there are such States as North
Carolina and Virginia. The Charlottes-
vii G Chronicle (antl PrOtectiouist 10 the
core). in commenting upon the Washing
ton Posts hint that the WAYS and
Means Committee intended TO bring in
q tariff bill entirely separate and distinct
from any measure to reduce the internal
revenue, says:
at NAV he fair that the two propo-
sitions should stand on their own merits,
but we warn the Post and Congress that
if some relief is not given to the south
ern people from the infamous internal
revenue tax 10 mortal man can answer
for the result III the coming fall cleo
tons
OF course that warning will go for no
thing with persons who regard the tariff
question as more important than the
question as to how the civilization OF the
South is TO be preserved. Mr.. WAITER
sox and the Washington Post and other
Democratic journals Of the same school,
do not hesitate to dcnOunce RANDALL,
McADoo, and all such men as Repubh-
cans in disguise, though there are no
truer Democrats IN the land.
See what results the extreme declara-
tions OF such men would, if acted upon,
lead -. OF the new tariff bill the Ohio
and Michigan Democrats do not like the
free-wool clause and the Louisiana Dem
ocrats will do their best against the re-
ducton of the sugar duty. Therefore
the Ohio and Michigan and Louisiana
Democratic congressman must be turned
over to the Republican party . The
Democrats of Kentucky favor a tariff
upon hemp the Democrats Of Louisilra
a tariff upon sugar the Democrats Of
Georgia and South Carolina tariff
upon rice many OF the Democrats Of
Virginia q tariff upon sumac, coal,
iron ore, &c, land q heavy tariff
upon manuia. tured tobacco SO long
as tobacco is made to pay an excise tax ,
tho Democrats Of Missouri a tariff upon
zinc the Democrats Of Vest Virginia
(and Southwest Virginia. tariff upon
salt the Democrats OF Ohio a
tariff upon wool; and so on to the
end of the chapter II, therefore, Mr.
RANDALL ought to be read out of the
Democratic party. all the pretended y
Democrats who favor tariff for the pro-
lection of any article-sugar rice, to-
bacco, salt, sumac, zinc, wool, lumber,
or what not-ought to be read ont Of the
Democratic party.
Bv the way, what comment it Is
upon the boast that the Republicans Of
Michigan are inclined to be antiPro-
tectionists TO find even the Democratic
members of Congress from that State
coming out for the protection of lum-
Der.
The Democrats Of the whole country
should recollect that above all else their
party is pledged to the preservation Of
"an indissoluble Union of indestructi-
bic States that its mission is to keep
the national Government, if possible, in
the form in which it was handed down
by the fathers of the republic to their
immediate successors; and that no other
question can possibly be so important
as the question as to whether or not a
government of the people by the people
for the people shall perish from the
earth
