The Richmond DISPATCH last Sunda

The Richmond Disp atch last Sunday
celebrated it's fortieth anniversary, and has
an interesting sketch of It's early beginning
The writer of this had personal pleasure
in reading it, for he knew good deal about
that early beginning. Richmond had nearly
thirty thousand inhabitants, but it was an
up hill business making the new daily stick.
We shall never forget the nerve shown by
the late James A. COwardin in that trying
time. Like all new daily papers the money
continued to pour out month after month
and not a dollar Of profit came in. His
partner got frightened after spending a
good part of his fortune-for both of the
partners had what in that day were comfor-
table little fOrtuneS-and drew out. The
men in the Office began to be gloomy. MI.
CoWardin S private means we're well nigh
exhausted, but he never flinched. AT last,
in some two years we think, the money
poured down the hole had filled it, and the
hill was turned, and in 1851 the Dispatch
was the best paying newspaper property in
the South. Its revival after the war, for
it was burnt ut the evacuation of Rich
mond, required as much nerve as was re-
quired at its birth, but Mr. Cowardin and
his new partner, Henry K. Ellyson, a man
very much like him, were equal to the oc-
casion and stood the financial drain until
the hill was again turned and the Dispatch
made again the best paying property Of its
kind in the South. The Dispatch is now
as much part of Richmond as it's streets
and stores are, and Will remain so forever.
May its prosperity never be less

ADDRESS FROM THE STATE CHAIR
MAN

Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson, Chairman of the
State Democratic Central Committee. has
issued an address urging the Democracy of
Virginia to organize for the election which
is now only ten days off. 1t is an admir-
able document and contains the following
appeal to the thoughtful element Of the
Republican party in the State:
"Do not vote against us because heretofore
you have been Republican. In this election
you will have no opportunity to vote for the
Republican principles advocated by Lin
coln Sumner OF a Greeley. Weigh the issues
and see if they do not affect you as much as
they do any Democrat in Virginia Do not
let past party affiliations swerve you from
recognizing that the future of Virginia, and
therefore your own future, depends upon the
maintenance of the rights Ct self government
DO not by your vote attempt to fasten upon
yourselves as we'll as upon us the manifold
evils that would flow from the establishment
of a judicial oligarehy. We hope to welcome
your assistance in our efforts to defeat meas
ilres so injurious to our individual prosperity,
so detrimental to our common country, SO vi
olatiye of our form of government and des-
ti'lictiYe of our liberties.

ed, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, that the
consolidation of railways would not end
until all roads which are disturbing ele-
ments were iii the control of the strong
lines and made part of such systems. In
dications all over the country point, he
said, to 8 few railroad companies control
ing the entire railroad interests of the land
During the present year, nearly 10 900 miles
of competing lines have been absorbed into
one Oh another OF the great systems of
roads. Among them, the Norfolk & West
ern has absorbed the Scioto Valley and the
Shenandoah Valley, 381 miles; the Chesa-
pealle q Ohio has absorbed the Richmond

that was better than to go on as things had
been, baikrupting the financially weak

BASIC CITY, Oct. IS.
AS Basic City is the only new town star
ted within the limits of Augusta county,
one naturally feels an interest in noting it's
progress from comparative point of view.
This interest has been emphasized with me
by remark the VINDICAToR published to
the effect that the boom in this Valley ought
to move fast because the back country had
already been built up for it before the boom
WAS started. AS Augustus new town is
situated about the centre of this grain
bearing Valley, almost every acre of which
forms part of a well cultivated farm. and
as the country Immediately around the
town is noted, even in fertile Augusta, for
its richness both in soil and finance, [
was curious to know how it's money value

say older, because as to towns in Virginia
of it's own age it is far ahead OF them in the
factories being erected, and which are the
moving cause of the money value. The town
of Basic City was started on the 9th day Of
last May and is just about four months
old. 1t has had one sale Of lots, and to-day
L went over some real estate agents books
to get the figures at which some of the pur-
chasers had disposed of the lots bought at
that sale four months ago. [ give you some
of the results and you will find that, taking
the difference in age-for Roanoke has been
building for eight years-the prices are
considerably ahead of those realized by in

IT GOUGES THE CONSUMER.
From the Staunton (Va.) Argus.
Those who have commended that the tariff
when increased would not make difference
in prices, can now see with their eyes shut if
they will step into the stores and shops. The
Argus man saw, the other day, a stationer
marking up the prices on blank books and
saw letters from wholesale houses, saying
they were compelled to advance prices at least
% per cent. A dry goods man said that I'M
ported dress goods for ladies that he is now
selling at So cents will cost the consumer Sl.25
when the next lot comes in. In a hardware
store pair of English scissors that formerly
sold at so cents We're left on the counter by
gentleman who would not pay IS cents for the
same article The tariff is to protect the
manufacturers in this country they tell us,
but we see that it gouges the consumer es-
pecially the poor one. Formerly the average
tariff was Al per cent. The Mills bill pro-
posed to make it AZ per cent. Under the Me-
Kinley bill it is 60 per cent.

The same rate prevailed all through the
country. This was, as President Garfield
once remarked on the floor of Congress.
indeed the golden age of the country. No
farmer III 1890 will be induced to believe
that this golden age and good prices can
ever be brought back by the Republican
party by higher taxation. If the average
farmer was never in more prosperous
condition everything considered, - then the
average farmer himself does not think so.
His County Alliance does not think so,
His State Alliance does not think 80, and
his National Alliance with all its subordi
nate Alliances is making war upon such
a premise. The "average farmer has
come to the conclusion that s'everything
considered THE tariff tax, the advanced
prices OF what he has to buy and the low
price OF what he has to sell, that he is for
tunate to be alive, and he is saying so at
every opportunity, in and ont of his
Alliance.
It Is not at all necessary, as our coten-
porary seems to think, for an article to be
made abroad in order for the price in this
country to be put up when the tariff is ad-
vanced. 1t has been all along the conten-
ton of the Democratic advocates of tariff
reform and reduction. that the American
manufacturers put up their prices when
the tariff is advanced. Let us give case
in point. The American Shear Company
of Hotchkissvlle, Ct, is prosperous CON
Germ, paying large dividends. The Farm.

Minneapolis, has been buying great many
pocket knives from it to give as premiums

In the case Of the last named purchaser,
he sold before he had paid dollar on his
purchase. l will venture to say that in the
four months after Roanoke, the well named
phenomenal city, was started, the profits
on lot sales to purchasers did not
show such results as the above. Nor was
it reasonable that they should; for, four
months after its starting Roanoke did not
begin to have the variety, magnitude nor
number of industries for which factories
are now being built in Basic City. 1t is Il
fact, and one that / have pressed in all

that it is the industries that are to be
carried on in them, and those alone, that
will give value to the lots. Location.
