GLEANED FROM THE MArLs

Tuesday was the worst day yet of the vel.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Republicans of the Richmond dis
trct have nominated Judge Edmund
Waddill of Henrico for congress against
Geo. d. Wise. Mr.. Wise defeated him in
1886 by LAO majority. A Blaine Indepen-
dent Club. composed of colored men, has
resolved not to support Judge Waddill.
Local Assembly X. of L. No. 1884 of
Philadelphia, has adopted resolutions
favoring free raw material and endorsing
the Mills bill.
S. D. Warren & Co. of Maine the largest
paper manufacturers In the world, are out
in card saying that Blaine misrepresent-
ed the interests of that trade, in his Por-
tland speech, and that the Mills Till will
not injure their business.
GEO. g. Gorham, the former Republican
Secretary of the U. S. Senate, in an inter-
view, says he should much prefer to see
Cleveland reelected, to seeing an other
Republican administration brought in, to
be wrecked by Blaine. He said he IGOR
ham) was Stalwart and could not aid in
returning the Blaine element to power.
James Glenn, one of the most pro minent
labor agitators in Colorado, who was
nominated as the Labor candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, has declined
the honor in letter in which he says: II
have always been in sympathy with the
laboring classes Of the country, aud it is
my honest conviction that the laboring
classes to-day will find the Democratic
party their truest and best friends"
In accepting the Democratic nomina-
tion for the State Senate from Hanover
and Caroline, to Gil the place of his lamen-
ted father, Henry I. Wickham says:
II believe that the present recuperation of
our country from its past condition is due to
the conservative manhood of our own people,
aided greatly by the wise aud patriotic line of
conduct adopted by the President, and that
our main reliance for quiet and self govern
ment in our local affairs, which means peace
and prosperity for us here in the South, lies
in the continuance of Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration. He has proved himself devoted to
the welfare of our whole country. Under his
leadership sectional issues have been driven
backward, and by the favor of Divine Provi-
dence will become simply recollection"
Hon. j ohn L. Harris and w. W. Berry
spoke at Salem, Roanoke, Monday, and
among the audience were over hundred
colored men. Strange to say, their ap.
plause of the good points made, was as loud
as that of any body in the house. 1t is
curious thing in Virginia to see colored
men applauding Democratic orators.

THE WORST OF THE WORST.

Ex-Minister Langston, (colored), fairly
beat Gen. Mahone's efforts to defeat his
getting majority of the delegates to the
Congressional convention, which met at
Farmville, Wednesday. But Malone
pursued him and went to Farmville him.
self, where he made speech in the court
house urging upon the negroes that the
time hadn't come to nominate colored
man for congress yet. and that if one was
nominated 'the Democrats would count
him out !! ~ Mark that After having
tried to have Langston counted out at the
ward meetings and county meetings, and
failed, he tells the colored people that
the Democrats may codnt him out. The
result is that two bodies assembled in
Farmville, Wednesday .one Malone one,
for Judge r. W. Arnold, and the other
for Langston. Each nominated its man.
And this is the sort of manager and man
agement that was accepted at the Licking
ton convention. 1t is great pity the
colored Republicans of the 10th district
cannot get the true inWardness of this
thing given to them. 1t would give them
an opportunity to assert their manhood
for once at any rate.

THE TAX is PAID BY THE
CONSUMER,

The newest dodge in Political Economy
played by the High Tariff advocates is to
the effect that the Protection tax is not
paid by the consumer. Gen. Harrison in
his letter of acceptance repeats it. Well,
if 1t isn't, why did James G. Blaine pro-
test against tariff tax on lumpers If it
wasn't paid by the people of the United
States what trouble was there about it
Why did John A. Logan protest against
the increase of the tariff tax on tin-plate? If
the American consumer didn't pay it,
what did he care about it? Why did
Levi p. Morton introduce bill for free
salt? Was it because the English salt
men had to pay 1t, think you Why did
President Grant urge, in his message in
1875. a reduction of certain duties, be-
cause they "come from the consumers at
home ?n Was it because he didn't know
anything about it Z!
After all, except the High Tariff and
Free Trade Theorists who sail above the
earth with their theories, this question of
the Tariff Taxation is one of the fireside.
When it is brought home to bis Preside
every man knows that he has to pay the
tariff tax. If man buys pound of coffee

DISCUSSION BETWEEN MESSRS
TUCKER AND YOST,

We trust that for the instruction of the
people of this district, Messrs. Tucker and
ost will agree on times and places for a
joint discussion. on at least every court
day that can yet be used in the counties.
The people want it, and have right to
demand it,, The two have already met
and recognized the principle and set the
precedent of joint discussion, and we
most earnestly hope it will be followed up.
AS it stands, we see that each candidate
has list of separate appointments made,
but these can be set aside by agreement
when they meet at Nelson q. II. next
Monday, and we trust that will be done.
The people of this district, irrespective of
party, want to hear this all-absorblng
question Of Federal taxation through a
high or low tariff discussed, and they
ought to be gratiied. Both candidates
promise to support the Blair bill, and MI.
Tucker has a scheme for giving even mole
money for National aid to education than
that does; both candidates may therefore
be depended on to use their influence in
getting the Federal aid demanded, and
that unity Of purpose leaves more time
for discussion of. the great economic
issue of Federal taxation. at stake. The
Amherst Z. LII. correspondent of the
Lynchburg "Vlrginian" gives the follow
ing notice of the joint debate there on
Monday last:
To-day was County Court, but nothing was
done of any Importance in the court as most
of the day was taken up with joint discus
sion between Harry St. Geo. Tucker, the
Democratic nominee for Congress from this
the Tenth District, and his opponent Jacob
Yost. the Republican nominee BY an agree
ment between them, Yost opened with three
quarters of an hour speech. Tucker replied
with an hours speech; Yost was given half an
hour for reply, and Tucker closed in quar-
ter of an hour speech.
The discussion was devoid of personalities,
and was marked throughout by deliberation
and dignity, showing that the nominees re-
allied that in this canvas, measures, not men,
were to be discussed.
Yost was for Protection which he made the
burden of his song, ard it is not to be denied
that he presented his side with as much force
as it could be done! and he personally made a
good impression, but when ''Harry of the
West" came to reply the loud applause showed
that he had the people with him. He was not
long in exposing the fallacy and speciousness
of the arguments and points made by his OPP
ponent, and Amherst will hold her own when
the polls are counted in November, and tie
found on the side Of Democracy with q big
majority for Tucker. Harry Tucker made
friends all along the line, and will bring out
the full vote.

HOY IT Is DONE.

A county subscriber writes to ask us to
explain hoao the peoples money is gotten
into the Treasury by tariff. Well; do you
remember the Moffett Bell Punch that
was in operation in Virginia? Yes? Then
it is exactly like that only you don't hear
the bell ring. The bartender charged you
Is cents for drink that he had been
charging 10 cents for. When you paid it
he rang bell on the counter. That meant
that 23 cents was for the State. government
and 124 for himself. That was the epito-
mixed Tariff system. 1t was taxing the
consumer Indirectly like all tariff does. Its
very first effect was to raise the price to
the consumer. That is always the effect.
The bartender didn't pay cents tax to
the State government-he could have sold
you the drink at IL cents and yet saved
! his tax of q cents to the government.
But you will always find that when man
gets High Tariff on his side he will keep
his prices up close to it. He sees the gov
eminent going for the earnings of the
people, and it Is hard to resist the tempta-
ton. ''just to take little of that myself. u
The people didn't stand the BeIl-Punch
Tariff long. They threw it overheard.
Well now, how long do you suppose the
people of Augusta county would stand the
present High Tariff tax if it was served up
to them in full sight, like the Bell-Punch
was Suppose you came into Staunton
and went to dry goods store and asked
for dollars worth of worsted goods, and
after the clerk wrapped and handed them
to you, and you had handed him dollar,
he was to say, ':Seventy-one cents more,
please ?'' "For what" you ask. "For the
government, please.'' And, helpless, you
handed it over, and be rung bell and drop
ped it into drawer for the government +?
What would you think of that? Suppose
you asked for a dollars worth of fannels

holders. He thinks it should be ''used Ia
the purchase of bonds" AS The govern
ment cannot get hold Of the bonds without
paying $3.50 for 500, that would seem a
rather expensive reduction of the surplus,
and judging from how the little of it that
has been done By the Cleveland admins
tration, under the law to that effect, was
received by Mr.. Harrison's own party, it
will not be popular with anybody but the
holders.
We would suggest to our Democratic
readers to peruse Mr.. Harrison's dull
manifesto, and compare it with the deter
mined, strong, fresh reading to be found
in President Cleveland's letter of &C
lance.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1888-09-21

Hundreds are coming to an end when the
farmers commence looking into it. There
will be no High Tariff tax after they begin
looking into the books and seeing the
money taken from their pockets and
divided-one part in the pockets of the
high protected manufacturers, and the
other locked up as surplus in the Treas
uly at Washington. The picture of the
manufacturer protected by exhorbitant
tariff from all foreign competition of
"pauper labor" and the poor farmer
sweating through his harvest, only to sell
his wheat in competition with the pauper
labor of India will soon disappear when
the men who hold the plow commence to
look into the tariff laws.
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1888-09-21

But, while recognizing the disadvantage
the farmer is at, under the present condi-
tion of things in which he has to sell in
competition with cheap labor and has to
buy In protected market, "a Farmer"
hesitates to try the experiment of change
in the present High Tariff. He fears low
tariff will hurt our Industries and destroy
what home market there is. He says:
''What will be the condition of things when
under a low tariff, the conditions are revers
ed? No more factories will be started, and
many of those now operating must suspend.
History proves this and it is no use DENYING
the fact"
But neither history nor experience prove
1t. Let this farmer look at his own coun-
ty town and see for himself. During the
low tariff ten years between 1850 and
1S60-the tariff being an average of only
25 per cent.-there were the following
industries in Staunton and vicinity, which
are not here under high tariff TODAY:
WOODEN factory, Tobacco factory,
Shoe factory, Churn factory,
Tannery, Paper mill,
Leather currying, Pulling mill,
Horse collars, Rope walk,

GEN. HARRISON'S LETTER OF
ACCEP ANCE,

On the 29th of November, 1882. Gen.
Benz. Harrison, then member of Con-
gress from Indiana, wrote to the Boston
DAILY Advertiser. letter relative
to the bill then pending for the
appointment of Tariff Commission.
In his letter he said he was mot much
disposed to 60 much into print upon the
subject of the future tariff policy Of
our party" as 81 do not affect to be a
leader of thought among so many of
greater experience" If his letter of &C
ceptance, which we give to our readers to-
Tariff question, it must be said with all
due respect to-his grandfather-that his
view as leader of thought in the coun-
try now, is as much affectation as it
would have been then. He seems to be
dull sort of man. with just sufficient IN
genuity to skip that portion of his lesson
that he cannot parse, and to try to be
noe too7' to all interests concerned He
skips the Mills Bill. which is the issue before
the American people to-day, and goes into
a discussion of Free Trade, as if that was at
stake or was anything but a refuge for crafty
dullness that is afraid to talk of the
things that are depicting the pockets of
the people. Dszed by the awkward alter
native in his party platform of free
whisky rather than reduction of the tariff,
he waddles away from It's discussion by
saving that ''we are not likely to be called
upon. think, to make present choice
between the surrender Of our protective
system and the entire repeal of internal
taxes" He pleads the statute of limita-
tions in bar of his Chinese record by
saying, the objections to Chinese immigra-
ton "are now so generally accepted" that
the question has passed entirely beyond
the stage of argument" His method for
spending the surplus in the Treasury will
meet with much applause from-the bond

WHY 4 FARMER SHOULD WANT
Allow TARIFF,


Our neighbor, the Valley Virginiaa,
commends to our attention a commu-
nication signed a "a Farmer" which
it says, furnishes the INDICATOR some
thing to think over" 1t does; it furnishes
us with the pleasing reflection that farm
ers are examining and discussing the CUES.
tion of high taxation. and we know when
they are interested enough to examine it
and publish their views. that sounds the
death knelI of High Tariff. For, of all the
men in this country, the farmer loses most
by taxation. The farmer who writes In
the VirQinian is Republican, advocating
Republican views of High Tariff, and
makes two cardinal errors in presenting
his case-he mistakes High Taxes for Pro-
lection, and Low Taxes for Free Trade.
He opens with the following unanswerable
statement of the disadvantage the occupa-
patton of farming is at now, in comparison
with the highly protected industries:
"Our country-these blessed United States
has population of sixty million. Of this
number eight million are farmers. They have
raised this year-and there have been many
causes operating to make the crop short one
"a surplus over and above what is needed for
home use, of about seventy million bushels of
wheat alone. Send it abroad to compete with
the wheat raised by the farmers of India who
live chiefly on millet meal? No! Give US
more manufacturing establishments.
How true that is. He but states fact
that amazes the world when it sees far
mer advocating a High Tariff tax. The
High Tariff tax lnaugurated by the Re-
publicans has been in force for twenty six
years-time enough for men to haze been
born, reared, married, and died-and yet
under it to-day farmer complains with
truth that the farmers Of the country in
which it has prevailed. have surplus of
seventy million of bushels of wheat to
sell and have to send it abroad to compete
In market with the cheap labor of India.
No home market made for 1t in twentY-six
years In all that time, waiting for home
market, the farmers of the country, on the
plea that high tariff tax built up manu-
features, have been taxed to death. They
have been taxed on everything they use
and wear that other men make, and yet
are compelled to sell what they make in
the market of the world in competition
with the cheap labor of India. Twenty
six years. And no home market yet for
the farmers surplus How much longer
do the High Tariff people want the farmers
to wait How many more generations of
farmers, having spent their life at the
Tariff grindstone, are to die off before the
dreamed of home market comes ? How
long will the farmers of America consent
to pay-Year after year and generation
after generation-a High Tariff tax, of
which the following is but small sample,
waiting for the home market promise to
