The Resolutions of the Democrats OF High
land.

At the meeting to elect delegates to the
Congressional Convention, the Democrats
of gallant Highland adopted the following
admirable resolutions
Resozpsd By the Democrats Of Highland
county, Va., LIST. That since it is an accept
ed maxim of our government that it is a
government of the people, by the people,
and for the people, we believe the will of
the people as expressed at the polls should
stand against all odds, and therefore con-
denim, not as partisans, but as American
freemen cherishing liberty, the course of
the Speaker of the House of Representatives
and his henchmen, whereby the rights of
the minority in that body are ignored, and
the seats of many of the members, honest
ly and legally elected by the people, given
to men, defeated by the same people.
RESOLVED, End. That we regardtho action
of the party in power at Washington, in its
attempted passage of the "Force Bill"
known as the Federal Election Bill, as sub
versve of the highest aud dealest rights of
liberty loving people, and revolutionary
in its tendency; and we call upon the free
men of our whole country, regardless of
past party affiliations, to rally to the stand
ard of freedom as exemplifisd by the Demo-
cratic party, and show to Reed, Mckinley &
Co.-the synonym of usurpation-that the
people are against them in their revolving
schemes.
ResolUsd, 3rd. That We heartily endorse
the course of our Congressman, Hon. Fl.
st. Geo. Tucker, as manifested in his logic
al and manly stand against the infamous
"Force Bill;'' and we hereby instruct that
the vote of this county be cast for his re-
nomination in the convention to be held at
Amherst G. H. on the LIST day of August.

About What We Expected.

We shall have, it appears, no Tariff bill
this session. Perhaps Mr. Allison and some
of the more conservative republicans may
coerce one, but it does not look like it. We
have had little faith in tariff measure
from the present Congress. And now that
Mr.. Blaine has knitted the Mckinley bill the
faith grows weaker and weaker.
The reason is obvious. Why should the
protectionists pass new tariff? The pres
emit one suits them very we'll. They are
making great fortunes out of it. They keep
war taxes in time of peace, vote enormous
pensions to absorb the surplus, and the
longer the tariff remains the more money
will be sailed away.
The condition of affairs is shameful. In
dustry is oppressed. The people are taxed
from their bread to their raiment in an
outrageous manner. Millions, tens of mill
lions are taken annually from the wage
earners to swell the fortunes of Mr.. Carne-
gle and others like him. The industrial
and agricultural resources of the nation are
given over to monopoly. That monopoly
was powerful enough to send four hundred
thousand dollars in one sum to help elect
Mr.. Harrison. The money went where it
did the most good. The men who sent it
desire no change in the tariff. Why should
they?
The republicans have been fooling over
the tariff for years. They have never
amended it, because they do not desire
amendment. They will fool and dawdle
and debate the Mckinley bill as they did
the Mills bill and send it over to the next
session, to the session after, to limbo if they
cap.
When public opinion in the United States
becomes revolutionary, and these tariff
barons find they cannot hold on to their
gains, there will be a change. But, to use
homely but quite Ineligible illustration,
there will be no tariff reform until the PEG.
pie take the monopolists by the neck and
kick them into a realization of the fact that
the workingman has claims which they are
bound to respect.-N. 7. Herald.
