and thus place themselves in
favorable light with the citizens
of their respective districts. Upon
the roll being called, Oar s. Hall voted
accordingly in the negative AS the
roll was being completed il was appar-
ent that the amendment would be lost
by one vote. Thereupon Mr.. Hall,
obedient to the party managers in the
house, changed his vote to the affirma-
tive, and the result was accordingly.
To show the position of Republicans
in this state towards the protective
policy of Mckinley, Mr.. LAWYER quoted
some of the heretical utterances of the
leading Republican newspapers of this
state, cited largely from Senator Davis
speech ON binding Irvine, and quoted
some very good Democratic doctrine
which was uttered by Mr.. Lind when
the same question was discussed in the
house.
Briefly discussing the election of state
officers, Mr.. Lawler asked those Repub-
licanS who claim that in this campaign
state issues should be considered apart
from national questions, why Mr.. Mer-
Ram had deemed it necessary to set
forth at length his views on the tariff to
a committee of the Farmers Alliance,

duties of governor do not consist in
acting as janitor of public buildings,
in keeping books for the state or merely
approving bills passed by the legislature.
The state constitution provides that
1.-THE governor shall communicate by
message to each session of the legisla-
ture such information touching the
state and condition of the country as he
may deem eXpedient." The warmest
defender of Mr.. Merriam cannot con-
tend that in single executive message
he has satisfied that constitutional pro-
vision. Referring briefly to the bar
mony existing among the Democrats of
Ramsey county and the excellent char
acter of their county ticket, the speaker
urged his hearers to individual effort,
and earnestly predicted Democratic
success.

tute Of Great Britain arc the leading men
in their line Of business in the Kingdom,
and represent vast amount Of capital,
anxiously seeking an investment. An I'M
preston favorable 20 our resources In iron
ore and 10 our capacity 10 convert IL into man
uiactured forms at profitable rate, would
mean, very probably, enormous investments
by English associations in the different
branches Of our mineral development.
OF all the States in the South, Virginia
has most to attract such body OF men
as these representatives, Of the iron ana
steel industries Of Great Britain, and there
fore she should not low the opportunity OF
showing them every legitimate courtesy to
pass by untitled. This city should take
the initiative in extending them that hospi-
tally for which our people have long been
noted.
The proposition advanced by prominent
civil engineer Of this city looking TO the es-
tablshment of great basin below Man
chester fol- the purpose Of ehlarging the
waterway commerce Of Richmond, and
converting il into ship-building centre
would in itself Justify an extended visit to
this city of these distinguished Englishmen.
Their visit would, however, be made doubly
interesting If they should arrive in our
midst AT the time that the American society
OF Mechanical Engineers was in session.
This Society will meet in Richmond in No
yember, and its discussions would be OF
international interest if the members OF the
British Iron and steel Institute, who will
come to this country, were to take an active
part in the proceedings.

SOUTHERN PROGRESS.

If the old saying that figures cannot lie
be correct, then the material progress which
the South has made in the course Of the last
ten years, a. exhibited in the figures which
have recently been compiled, is altogether
the most remarkable, when everything is
taken into consideration, that has been re-
corded in the economic and industrial his
tory OF this country. Regarded entirely
apart from opposing circumstances, this
progress has not been as rapid as that which
has been observed in certain parts. Of the
Western States. but when all the adverse
influences with which the South has had to
contend are earthly weighed and their OBJ
structiye effect calmly estimated, the adj
vancement Of the Southern material inter-
ests has been. relatively speaking, much
more striking than the advancement Of the
same interests in the West in the same
length of time.
The South emerged from the war pract-
cally bankrupt. The institution of slavery,
upon which all estimated values were
based, was destroyed, credits of every KIND
had either been swept away or had declined
to the lowest point lands had deprecated.
such was the situation in which the South
ern people found themselves when they
faced the future under the new order OF
things produced by the war Never had a
civilized people been placed in position so
calculated to depress and discourage; their
accumulated wealth had vanished, their
social and political institutions had been
subyerted, their labor system was dis
organized.
Untll 1880 the progress Of the South in
escaping from the evil circumstances which
surrounded it. was comparatively slow, SO
serious were the obstacles which had to be
surmounted before any progress could be
made AT all. but from 1850 TO the present
hour the momentum which the material in
terosts Of the South had acquired previous
10 the last decade has carried it forward
with a rapidity which it is difficult to fully
realize.
In these ten years there has been an az
gregate growth from S2lGl.792, 79j to $3.50
80. 2S3. which has been attended with re-
duction in Southern Indebtedness from
S2oI. O3j, j29 to SlI0,3li,j3i. These estimates
10 not include Delaware, Maryland, and
Missouri. independently OF these States,
the railroad mileage OF the south has in
creased from l7,SOS miles to 3S,S92, which
does not cover the mileage now in process
Of construction. Several other significant
items Of increase of like character may be
mentioncd-su for instance, as the
growth Of the pig-ron production from
3j0. 1876 tons TO 1.7S0,909 tons; he growth
in value of the lumber interest from $i6,-
979W2 to $lOS,37s.oOO while the number Of
cotton-mills has doubled, and the number
Of looms and spindles has quadrupled.

ASrupoHrANr SUGGESTION.

The suggestion made at the last meeting
Of the Board Of Directors Of the Chamber OF
Commerce that the Chamber should elect
honorary and nonresident members from
the different counties In the state OF VIZ
cinia is an admirable one.
I. is appalling to see the great lack Of IN
forest which the farmers Of this state take
in their capital city. In the Valley and
Southwest Virginia-the richest sections oil
the State-the farmers are no more interest
cd in Richmond than in Petersburg or Ash
land. They are entirely separated from US
They do not read our papers, they do net
buy our goods, nor do they sell us their pro
ducts.
The Valley OF Virginia, so far as kch
mond is concerned. might as well be turned
over soil and subsoil 10 MARYLAND the SOCIAL
and business connections Of the people De-
ING formed entirely with Baltimore. south
west Virginia trades with Tennessee ana
North Carolina. For the good that section
does to this city, il might as well belong 10
either state. Its people send representa-
tivcs to the Legislature when II Sis ana
this is all Richmond ever sees or hears OF
them. These representatives come 70 hlch-
mond either absolutely uninterested in us
or hostile TO us, and make laws either re-
gardless Of our interest or inimcal to our
welfare.
The prime cause Of this anomalous cor.
dition of affairs is lack Of interest in Rich
mond, although the proXimate cause Is inc
bad railroad connections and rates. we
must get these sections again interested III
us. and with their assistance, we can III
duce the railroads to give us rates and con-
nections which VIII enable MS to compete
with Baltimore and Knoxville.
There is no more certain mode Of accom-
plshing this than by adopting the
above suggestion. Let the Chamber
elect the presidents and yice-presidents
Of the various branches Of the farln-
ers' Alliance throughout the state
as honorary members Of the Chamber ana
furnish them with the literature OF the
Chamber: have suggestions from them on
their respective needs; help them out as Tar
possible i'm their troubles and thus influence
them TO use their efforts in concert with ours
10 induce the railroads to give such rates as
will enable them to deal with us instead OF
outside cities.
\ half dozen prominent men oil each
comfy should be elected nonresident mem
bers of the Chamber also; that number
of men could control the whole county III a
question Of friendship and trade, other
things being equal.
THE TIMES heartily endorses the sugges-
ton and hopes that it will DE carried ont a.
soon as possible.

COMMERCIAL RECIPROCITY.

Tho adoption by the conference commit
tee of the House and senate of the Aldrlch
amendment to the Tariff bill, allowing the
President at his discretion to enter into re-
iations Of commercial reciprocity with the
countries supplying the United states III
part with sugar and food products OF Ike
character, is very significant tribute 10
the degree Of personal influence which MI.
Blaine exercises over the minds OF those
who in the present situation of affairs con-
troll the policy OF the National Government.
The doctrine of reciprocity IN the form
advocated by the Secretary of state is es-
sentially opposed to the principle Of protcc-
ton. Ii is really a proclamation Of the
freest commercial relations in every case
in which il is allowed TO operate, ana To
the extent to which il goes il is unquestion-
ably a source Of advantage to international
trade. Whether reciprocity will confer an!
benefit upon the different branches OF agri-
culture remains to be seen.
1t may he taken for granted that the con-
ference committee was not influenced in
making "A ldNhfdblt ltl''At Wh AhN -AthAA Nh
amendment by any desire to assist the
farming classes of the United states 10y III
creasing the number Of markets for then
produce. When the question of reciprocity
was agitated before the members Of the
WAYS and Means Committee, at the time
that they lwere employed in framing the
Mckinley bill, they rejected the proposition
with brusqueness that amounted to con
tempt, but Mr.. Blaine, who was even then
deeply impressed with the importance Of
forming reciprocity treaties, was not TO Ice
put OF SO easily. As soon as the Mckinley
bill came prominently before the public, al
lowing its provisions to be thoroughly un-
derstood in their general scope, the Score
tary of State alta cked its spirit in language
that rang from one end Of the country to the
Mother.
.AThe supporters Of the bill were at once
4 raSmed. The sternest advocates OF prOtec-
ture as>ceded somewhat in their extreme
nder ,no ~ persistent references to the ad-
Ns@erchantse secured from reciprocity,
and %z.lis' Dtt99 stand in its favor, Mr..
Blaine has compe,,bs his party associates
in the House and seS'tGe TO endorse his sug-
gestion. The step WHICH has just been
taken by the conference .Aommiitee' is il |
the whole truth were known Spposed to the
convictions Of the Republican &embers OF
that committee, and it is open NJ some
doubt whether even the great ind ience
which the Secretary Of State enjoys in rs
party, would have led these members tS
vote in FAVOR of the amendment if there had
not been lurking idea that the power con-
ferred by the Aldrich amendment on the
President would be declared unconstitu-i
tional, or il not, that the President would
lie slow TO exercise the discretion which was
specifically granted TO him.
