We have been Informed that Harry
Tucker stated in several species in East
Virginia that the man agemett ii los
Moor Furnace were in tavuT ut his eIHc>
dion This is not 50. We DO nsS know
ahat be calls the management. hut Wa do
kaaow that the President Of thP company
ard the practical manager at lbe furnace
are against hlnl and every thing that looks
to free trade. And We know furt her that
the sage earners at the furnace are piac-
tieaily all against him. 1t my be that e
refers to Mr. Seth Low, the Brooklyn i'm.
porter, who is a free trader because he is
An importer, and favors Cleveland. Bat
he has nothing TO do with the management
of Low Moor. lis fail her is the largest
stockholder and We have no reason iA be-
ljeve that he is for Tucker. lie certainly
was ntt for fuckers father.
A story was telegraseised frotA New ! 0Tk
last We k to the democratic, press. stating
that Frederick Doug lass had is,st returned
from Il canvassiug tour fhroagA Indiana
and New York. The result OF lis oilser-
vationS was, according to iIls dlsl atcb,
that both these states would be hoI elessly
Democratic OF course. the falsehood
was made out IF the whole cloth. Mr..
Douglas says it is all bJsh That quite
as certain as lie could be of anything in
the future that Harrison aud Morton will
be elected.
Daniel Hand, of Guilford, Conn, has
given million dollars to the Missionary
Society of New York, in trust, the inter-
est to be devoted to the education of col
ored people i'll the old Slave States. He
once lived in South Carolina, but left at
the beginning of the war. leaving large
business in the hands of Il friend and
agent. After the war his agent settled
with him, accounting for $3.50, 900 left with
him, and the accum ulatious from judi j.,
cious Investments amounting to $500 600
1t is this sum aud interest that MIR. Ii4nd
has donated as above stated.
There are but two classes of people in
this country whom free trade will benefit.
One is the curh-StOne broker and the other
is the sheriff. And they thrive upon the
lnisfortunes and poverty of their fellow
inen. Give US free trade. and the red flag
of the auttioneer would float from half
The business houses i'll our land. Under
it we would have cheap labor and dear
money, and as Il natural result, distEess
and want among the great masses Of the
people. Labor must be paid living wages,
or all things else suffer except the usurer
and court Ulcers.
President Cleveland has gotten lis dan
der up because the British Minister let the
secret ont that England would have him
elected President, as the best thing for the
mother country. The President wants
Mr.. West recalled. He could not keep Sc
crets secure enough. If the Minister
had just waited until after the 9th of n o.
vember and hung out bandanna Graped
in mourning an as emblem of grief for
Democratic and free trade defeat, it would
have been all right, But he spoke too
soon.
Times change and men change with
them. The Lynchburg Aduance publishes
a picture of Gen. Grant, ard under it is
printed Our patriot, Gen. Grant, Only
a few years ago, Gen. Grant was DETAINED
and denounced as tyrant, a brute and
sOt. That was when he was the Republir
can candidate for President. Aud when
the VIRGINIAN supported him, in 1872 in
preference to Greeley it was branded as a
'Black Republican paper" unfit to be re-
ceived in decent family.
The result of the election on the 9th OF
November will he instruction from the
people TO Congress on the two tariff bills.
Ii the Democrats succeed. the Senate will
recognize it as command from the people
to pass the Mills bill. If the Republicans
succeed. the House will accept it as an
order from the sovereigns to enact the
Senate bill into law. That is the way it
looks. Democracy and the Mills bill ought
to and will be buried under tremendous
majority.
