publican organ of the West, says that
"n~inety.nine Republicans out of every
hundred in Chicago and the West are OPP
posed 10 excessive and needless tariff
taxation. They want d few raw mate
rials, such as lumber, salt, coal, wool, and

they want these materials to come in free

lating our manufactures-not TO injure
them"

The exposure Of a land steal Of twenty
thousand acres of timber land in Mendo-
cino county, California, is only another
of the long list of swindles on the Gov
eminent the first attack on which was
made by the Interior Department under
Secretary Lamar. Every II of those
infamous transactions tend to give the
true expression of countenance in all its
deformity to the policy of the Re-
publican party when it was in
power. From the gigantic Star Route
swindles TO the lana steals per-
petra,ed by the corporations in the
West, there is In all this the complexion
of collision on the part Of some high Of
ncial of the Government with the thieves.
In the jobs OF the Navy Departmentunder
Boss Bill Chandler, the land steals Of the
o Operations in the West, the Star Route
Service under Brady, and the more plau-
sible but greater frauds of the protective
arif, the policy of the Republican
party is written in such ugly characters
that il will again defeat itself if the
Democrats do not save II with a blunder.

HOW TO EaLp THE FORT.

II is TO be hoped that the Democratic
members of the Legislature will return
home impressed with two very important
facts. First, the absolute necessity OF
carving the State for the Democrats,
and second, that the only way lodoitisto
let local issues hold over while we hasten
by every means in our power to put the
party on national issues. AS 10 the first
proposition, 1t IA true that the Demo
cratic party of Virginia may be respon'
sible for many faults, and that thousands
OF good Democrats are disguised
with the policy Of the party, but so
long as the tail of the Radical dragon,
yea, even the Zip Of bis tail is visible to
give evidence that the monster is alive,
though half hidden in his hole, so long
the hunt for him must continue, and we
will not give up the chase until perfect
safety is the reward Of our efforts.
The Democratic majority has been fall
ing OIL because of the weakness and lack
of sense in the policy OF The party and be-
cause of the infusion into the Democracy
of the rank poison Of Mahoneism. But
We shall hope to restore political health
when we have the chance 10 doctor our
patient. For the present the enemy is
still in sight, sco;ched, but not killed /;
and as long AS ANYTHING of him is left we
must count our own had condition better
than being In his claws.
For the second proposition, the only
way to save the Democratic party of Viz
ginia is to put it In line with the national
Democracy, TO the end that we may cen
tire the attention Of the people upon
points where We have the advantage of
right and the backing OF the entire party
from north TO south, from east to west.
If we talk OF the debt, we at nee in
duce a quarrel among ourselves of sutii'
cient size to take of n very large number
OF voters. And this is the case with The
Blaii bill. As for the tobacco tax, we be-
lieve that the Democratic majority in the
House will certainly repeal II. but wheth-
er it does or not, the repeal OF the
tobacco tax, the Blsir bill, and the
debt question are not the points on which
to conduct our canvass, and any word
that is SPOKEN from the standpoint of
local interest on these questions will
weaken u canvass and give the Repub-
licans the advantage. What the situation
demands is a clear cut declaration for re-
form of the tariff first by reducing the
duties on the articles of general neces-
ssry consumption, giving our laborers in
factories free raw materials TO work with
and then cheapening what everybody
buys, and with the same measure giving
Us better facilities for the sale of what
we make. Let it be brought home to
every poor man that Republican policy
makes him pay more for his food and
clothing than people in other countries do,
and at the same time limits his work 10
making just he much as will meet the
demands of home market manipulated
by Trust companies, which could not
raise prices on the market, but for the
protective tariff. The Democracy of Vir-
ginia can be counted on if such a distinct
object as hat is put before them.
