THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.

A Mr.. Gallaher, labor leader In Indi'
ana. who took prominent part In behalf
of Mr.. Harrison and the protective tariff
during the last Presidential campaign In his
State, has lately been engaged In an attempt
to raise money for the starving locked out
coal miners In Indiana by contributions
from the protected factory and mine owners
thereof, but has met with poor success. He
is naturally provoked thereat, and has writ
ten letter expressing his disappointment
Hs says the labor element was led to be-
lieye that with the profits Of the employers
secured by the maintenance of the protect
i've tariff, the rate of wages would OF course
be advanced, but that instead OF that, there
has been sweeping reduction In that rate
He also says that If protection does not pro-
tect laborers, they must try to effect that
object By some other means. II MIR. Gala
her we're wise man and had given even
ordinary consideration to the tariff question.
he would have avoided his disappointment
and saved himself the trouble of writing the
letter referred to. The rate OF wages 10
affected by the law of supply and de
m md; not by tariff. High duties do enable
employers to pay their employees increased
,ges, but they never have, and never
will do So as long as human nature shail
remain unregenerated. Ia free country
every man must paddle his own canoe and
no class of men are more keen set on getting
all they can and keeping all they get than
the protected owners of mines and factories
They are great friends of labor at election
times, but at all others they let labor lookout
for itself. They submit to having the tat
fried out of them to secure the election Of
urotectionists, because by means OF the spe'
cial fayors granted them By the protective
tariff. they speedily recoup, but If there be
one thing more than another to which they
object, it is to dividing their profits with
their employees.

CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE COMMITTEE.
SPEECH OF HON. ]. S. BARBOUR
Delivered Before the Democratic State
Convention Yesterday.

Gentlemen of the Contention:
Before calling the convention to order 1t
is expected, a5 chairman of the State Demo
cratic Committee, that should say some
thing, however brief, In regard to the gen.
eral condition CT the democratic party OF
Virginia, it's present surroundings, as well
"A of the duties and responsibilities OF The
hour.
A glance at this large and imposing body
of representative democrats assembled In
council here to day furnishes from every
section of the State the best evidence OF the
power and vitality of our grand old political
Organization, and gives the best assurance
of the deep interest felt and the profound
solicitude everywhere manifested In the
result of your deliberations.
Since 1883 the democrats of Virginia have
wrested from their political opponents ana
now hold) the legis allure and executive de-
partments of the State government and to
q great extent through their friends, the Jc-
dietary also. We have eight out OF the ten
members of the national House OF Repre-
sentatives and both senators. We do not
see ANYTHING in this statement especially to
alarm the timid or discourage the doubling
Thous ,es' of the party. II is true. how.
ever, that the margin between the electoral
tickets at the presidential! election isst NO
yember was small, and too close to be COM
Portable in 30 large vote as was then poll
ed An ANALYSIS of the last election returns
will show that nearly the entire coored
vote of the State was cast .solidly for the re-
publican ticket, and to an extent, perhaps,
not justified by law. Some frauds were per
petrated against us In certain sections which
ought not to have been permitted by our
local managers, and some indifference pre-
vailed perhaps to limited extent among
The democrats in other loca tiles.
But. on the whole. in looking over the
State cannot discover any positive general
loss of democratic strength at the last cleo
lion. There was some falling off in our vote
in the Eighth, Third and Second Congress
,ional districts, and corresponding relative
increase of the republican strength. But
The compensation came from the splendid
canvass made by our friends in the Fourth
