those whom they have started and are still
protecting" And yet the Virqinidn
asks: "How could the duty be added and
become tax unless the article is import
ed" aud asserts that under the present
tariff 'home competition has had the
effect to reduce the price to the lowest
possible cost consistent with the existence
of our own manufactures. Just look at
the profit which our High Tariff cotem-
tence of our own manufactures" The
American consumer would get his shovels
at 1921 a dozen, too, if the High Tariff
law didn't prohibit his buying them any
where but in the United States. The
Stanton merchant could sell the farmers
of Augusta their farm tools cheaper, II 1t
wasn't for such tariff as this. And yet,
that is the tariff that the Virginian and its
party land especially the increased taxation
wing of it led by Hon. Jacob Yost. say
shan't be lowered. That the Augusta
county farmer shsn't have his farm tools
as low as the Mexican farmer, though they
are made in the United States where the
Augusta farmer lives. That to make the
Augusta farmer pay double is the only
price consistent with the existence Of our
manufactures" And that before this
tariff shall be lowered they shall give free
whisky We. sometimes, wonder if the
farmers and workingmen Of this country
know one-half of what this High Tariff is
doing to them. No revision. no equalizs-
ton, no reduction, no mercy to an over
taxed people-Ah, when the men Of the
plow and hammer do look into this thing
there will be revolution that will sweep
the Republican party away like chaff.
And because the INDICATOR urges
the rights Of tie people in this matter
against such enormous eXactions as these
things show, the Virqin,am claims that
we would have all tariff duty RENTED
and .'our market opened free to other
countries, forcing our industries to sus-
pend or compelling reduction OF wages
to correspond with the wages paid in
Europe" The VINDICAToR. and the
Democrats of this country, are supporting
the Mills Bill which substitutes for the
tariff under which these enormities can be
practiced, another, which will at least
curtail and diminish them. Every article
which we named, in stating how much
and on what our farmers land for that
matter all consumers) were taxed, is pro-
duced in this country and by American
labor. That labor does not share in the
exhorbitant projections that are given
above. Take nails for instance. There
is a protective duty of one and one.quarter
cent per pound on nails, or $1.25 on a keg.
The actual cost of labor on key of nails
is 81 cents About the same ratio is
true of the other industries named. save in
some labor gets still smaller share. Now let
US see what is the protection given under
the Mills Bill on these industries and what
under the present tariff. We give what
protection a dollars worth of the manu-
featured article gets In each bill:
prorent Tariff Mills Bill.

POLITICAL NOTES,

a convention Of Prohibitionists met in
Roanoke, presided over by Capt Robert
K. Rice, and nominated Hon. s. I. Hop
kins of Lynchburg, present Labor member
of Congress from that district, for re-elec-
ton. Mr.. Hopkins who desires to vote for
Cleveland for President has declined their
nomination. The Prohibition Congress
sional Convention which met at Goodson,
nominated Rev. J. II. Wingo of Tazewell
for Congress, for the 9Th district. Mr..
Wingo declined.
Mr.. Stuart F. Lindsey of Rockingham,
Wise Elector for the 9TH district, has
withdrawn in favor of the Malone Elec-
tor, G. M. Louthan.
Park Agnew. in the 9Th district, COM
pletes the Republican nominations for
Congress in Virginia.
The most significant symptom of the
Western campaign lis that the Republicans
of Ohio are arranging to withdraw all their
Ohio speakers from Indiana and Michigan
and use them in their own State where
the opposition to the High Tariff tax is
looking too serious. On that question
Rev. Mr.. Hames, Republican, has taken
the stump for Cleveland.
The State of Indiana is fast becoming
seething political caul dron. 1t is asserted
thai already the Democrats have $500
local speakers in the field, the Republicans
1900. or an average for the two parties of
forty.four speakers to each county. These
orators are never allowed to rest, but are
kept constantly moving.
Col. J. D. Brady. the Virginia member
of the National Republican Committee.
and who is supporting Langston (colored)
for Congress in the 4th district, IN opposi-
ton to Malone, has declined an official
call from that Committee to make speeches
in New York, on the ground that 'self-
respect, manhood, opposition to tyranny,
all alike demand that shall during this
campaign remain in Virginia."

THIRTY-TWO YEARS.

Messrs. Tucker and Y ost are giving
this district the most thorough canvass it
ever received-not even excepting that of
1888. Not day or night passes that, at
some point, one of them does not address
the people, and for the first time in thirty
two years the people of this district are
hearing full discussion of Federal taxa
tion through the tariff. When we look at
the length of time that has elapsed since
the Tariff was discussed before them, it is
not surprising that the people should have
lost sight of the way the Tariff draws
their money into the National Treasury,
and that especially the young men of this
generation have had no opportunity to
hear it's operations explained. Both young
and old now have the question fairly before
them in the positions of the two candi-
dates. Mr.. Yost is for the present War
Tariff and, if any change, an increase OF
it's taxation; Mr.. Tucker is for the Mills
Blll-a Peace Tariff-and, if any change,
a decrease of its taxation.

economic policy can ask for probation !.
If you are middle aged man and have
lived here all your life, you miss many a
man in many trade who has gone else
where to live. That wouldn't have been
the case if we had our home manufac-
lures back again. Look into this matter
of Tariff Taxation for youlself. Don't
take the views Of others, but investigate
1t yourself. You will find that no peo-
pile, no class, no trade. were ever made
rich by taxing them, and you will find
your own country, your own city, and
yourself no exception to the rule.

NOW bnaG Is Gn6 r6QucClOn ClaC the Mills
Bill makes and still gives ample protec-
tiop, and vet our contemporary wants the
public to believe that this means free
trade, :" and ''forcing our industries to sus-
pend" The protection in the Mills Bill
is the highest ever given in this country
| until the war tariff came. UNDER A
| TARIFF II PER CENT. LOWER THAN THE
! MILLS BILL, STAUNTON HAD TWENTY
ONE MANUFACTURES. FEEDING FIVE
HUNDRED MOUTHS AND HAVING PAY
| ROLLS ON WHICH THERE WERE MORE
| THAN $50 NAMES EVERY SATURDAY
NIGHT, AND NOT ONE OF THESE FAC
| TORIES EXIST TO-DAY UNDER A HIGH
TARIFF. And they didn't make goods to
sell cheap in foreign land and make the
county people of Augusta pay double price
| for them either Every manufacture here
quoted is FULLY PROTECTED IN THE
BILL as we have shown above. We should
like our contemporary, who like it's candi-
date, Gen. Harrison, is mOrtally in dread
of 'schedule," but madly in love with
"a principle" to come down out of the
clouds just long enough to examine the
schedule we have given, and say how
much ''free trade" it cannot find, but
eveu-imagine about it. But that seems
to be about the only answer our cotempo-
rary has proposed to ana proposition for a
reduction of High Tariff taxation.
Ifycu want to give the people dollars
of
of its favorite figure, it cries free
trade"
If you offer the people dollars worth
of oil cloth at SIPS, instead of 81 so, it
cries ''free trade.''
If you want to protect nails one cent
pound instead of a cent and half, it
cries ''free trade"
If you want to give the people even the
small reduction of 10 cents in buying a
pocket knife, 1t cries free trade;
If you want to stop protected manufac-
turers from Gaking such profits that they
can sell the Mexican farmers shovels at
%. and for the same shovel charge the
Augusta county farmer Sc, 1t cries
free trade"
If you try and reduce the tax on work.
mans dinner pail, even tiny half cent,
1t cries "free trade.'
1t is Bourbon of the most hopeless de-
scription. 1t wants the Augusta farmers
to 20 on paying high prices just because
they have paid them in the past. 1t wants
Staunton to lie dead and still with it's
workmen emigrating to other Cities, be-
cause to bring back the good old times
when she had twenty-one manufactures
going, you would have to alter the cast
iron tariff. It wants everything to be
done in the cities of the big protected
manufactures with big capital, and let
the little towns lie fiat of their backs
without workshops, without workmen,
and without hope in the world. Are ''the
people of Virginia and the country ready
to accept this condition of things ?" Are
they ready to accept as an answer to de-
mand for lower taxes simple repetition
of the CRY of free trade 70 Will they take
stone for the bread they demand? We
do not believe they will. If ever people
were animated by steady, determined,
immovable purpose to have lower taxa
ton, the American people are SO moved
to-day. And they will not be diverted from
their stern purpose by delusive cries.

"PROIECTING AMERICAN
LIBORD

This is the cry Of the High Tariff Tax
advocates. To protect anything is gen.
orally understood to mean. to preserve it,
to keep it alive, to give it prosperity, to
protect it from want, sickness and death.
This il is claimed the present War Tariff
Tax does for American labor and manu-
features. When called on for proof that
it has done so, what has it to point to? 1t
is very little use telling thin John
Smith at the White Sulphur that the
waters have wonderfully fattening effect;
that Tompkins now weighs $50 pounds,
that Jones now weighs 200 pounds, and
thai Brown weighs fully 200. That doesn't
do thin, coughing John Smith any good
What troubles him is that they haven't
fattened him. He is growing thinner and
thinner every day. So it is with Staun-
ton. The waters of High Tariff may have
fattened Boston, Chicago, New York and
Philadelphia, where the millionaires and
Trusts flourish, but they haven't fattened
her; indeed she is getting thinner and
thinner every day. Under the benefcent
influence of the Low Tariff waters she
dourished for the ten years previous to
1860. Here is a list of the manufactures
that were carried on within her limits in
