SOPHISTICATED ECONOMY.

The State Board of Agriculture made
great mistake when it abolished the office
of State Commissioner of Immigration, and
the VINDICATOR said so at the time. That
body seemed to be under the impression
that the salary of the Commissioner must
be repaid in the taxation paid by inning
rants secured by him, in the first year, Oh
the expenditure is clear loss. AS a
matter of fact the work of the Commits
sioner was to SOW seed which would yield
the State a rich harvest later on. The effect
of that work is being seen to-day. Last
week, Mr.. Hurlbut of Ohio, who became
interested in Virginia Oh the representa-
tions of Judge Grattan, then Commissioner
of immigration, and moved to Prince
George county in this State, returned to
Ohio, formed company, and bought 5000
acres of land in Prince George
which will be cut up into 15O-acre
farms. Several of the farms have already
been engaged and by Christmas there will
be forty Ohio families in Prince George
county. It would be hard to estimate the
value to the State of a Commissioner of
immigration if that Office had been CONT
nued, and just as hard to estimate the loss
the old Commonwealth has sustained by the
parsimony and lack of progress evinced in
abohshing it.

So, it would appear from Labor Commits

all the products which go to make ton of
steel rails leach one Of which has it's separ-

temporary and every Republican and Dem
ocratic workingman will read, for it thor
oughly explodes the bugaboo of pauper Euro
pean labor getting SO much lower wages
than the American workmen. The work
men of both political parties ought to read
these figures carefully. for it has been nv
holding over them the dreadful threat of
''pauper wages of Europe that the manu-
facturers Of this country have induced
many Of them to believe in. vote for, and
work for high tariff. While they read
they should remember that Labor Commits

POLITICAL NOTES.

torial district, last week, nominated Maj.
J. G. Green Of Wytheville for the Senate, to
fill the uneXpired term Of Senator Geo. W.
Easley, decd. Capt. Hardwick CT Giles
and W. M. Perkins and J. L. Tate of Pu-
laski, were his competitors. He was nomi-
mated on the Sth ballot.
It is now thought that the "old line"
Democrats of South Carolina have cooled
down, under the counsel of Senator Butler,
and that Tillman Dem.) will be elected
Governor without serious opposition.
The Ohio Democrats have nominated
Thaddeus b. Crowley for Secretary of
State and Geo. B. Oakley for Judge of the
Supreme Court.
Tariff-bill Mckinley has been renomI-
mated, but as the district is strongly Demo-
cratic under the new apportionment, he
cannot be elected.
The Democrats of North Dakota have
nominated Mrs. Laura J. Eisenheuth, for
State Superintendent Of Schools.
Hon. W. L. Wilson Of West Virginia has
been renominated for Congress by acclama-
ton.
Congressman Tucker will speak at Apo
mattox G. II. on Thursday next.
John M. Langston and other negroes are
petitioning Congress to pass the Force Bill.

THE POSIPONE1LENT OF THE
EOR(yE RITZ

By common agreement the Republican
Senators have postponed the consideration
of the Force Bill until the beginning of the
short session-the Goth OF next December,
with an understanding that at that
time they will change the rules Of the Sen
ate so as to cut off debate and then pass it
an understanding, but not pledge.
Senator Hoar not having been able to get a
sufficient number OF Republicans to sub
scribe to his pledge to that effect. The
opposing voice of the country has caused
this postponement. If the Republican
Senators wanted to pass the bill at this
session they could do it by changing the
rules now, but there are not enough Of
them that care to face the popular senti-
ment on this matter just now without some
reinforcement of their position. The Force
Bill men hope that at the opening of the
short session the President may in his mes
sage draw the line on the Bill so rigidly, that
not to be willing to change the rules of the
Senate and pass it will be equal to
boiling from the Republican party, and the
more desperate of them, such as Hoar and
Spooner, have a hope that the President
may call an extra session for which he will
give "the suppression of the vote at the
South as reason. and thus make the
Force Bill a party measure that cannot be
passed by again. On the other hand, it is
probable that during the recess, which will
probably begin by October Goth, those Sen.
ators who have been unwilling to use force
in changing the rules to get the bill up
will be backed up by their States, and that
when the Senate meets in December popular
sentiment will have effectually killed the
proposed measure. 1t is, however, far from
being dead now.

of ton of steel rails' was S21.83, he only
showed that he knew as little as Senator
Edmmds, who observed that the direct
cost of labor in ton of steel rails is S. OIL
Sc greater in this country than in Europe,
and for that reason We greatly doubt if
Senator Payne ever made any such state
ment. The average cost Of labor on ton
Of American steel rails. from the digging
of the ore sleeping in the mountains, on
through every step is just $11.59, and the
cost of the labor on ton OF British steel
rails under the same conditions is just
$11.32.
The publication of the exclusive labor
cost in all the processes of making ton of
steel rail ought to make High Tariff man
anxious to hide the record instead of pub
fishing it. Labor Commissioner Wright S
official report shows a good deal more than
the protected manufacturers want the peo-
pie to know. Here are some of the
results of his report. 1t costs for labor
only - cents more to mine ton of btu
minous coal in this country than in Great
Britain, and yet the U. S. Government
levies a duty of rs cents ton to keep
out British coal. 1t costs for labor but
SO cents more in this country to produce a
ton of pig iron, and yet the protection of
$6.72 per ton is put on American pig iron
to 'sequalize" the American manufacture
Of it. 1t costs but SO cents more
for labor to make one ton of American
steel ingots, and yet we levy for ''protec
ton" $3.50 per ton. 1t costs, according to
Commissioner Wright's report, for labor,
just "a cents ton more to convert steel
ingots into British steel rails than it does
to convert American ingots into American
steel rails, and yet our government ''pro-
tects" American manufacturers with a
duty of SIT ton on British rails
The SPIRIT wants to add all the labor cost
in each stage of the production to the cost
of the labor On the actual conversion of the
ingots into the rails, which is 81. "a. If it
does that it ought also to add all the pro-
lection the manufacturer in each stage
receives, which it will find will amount
to about $50 ton.
We are glad to see the Spirit discussing
the tariff, even with the occasional slips of
memory it makes. Discussion is all the
Mckinley bill wants to ensure it's death,
and with it goes from the American system
forever the high tariff system. The Dem
ocrats of the Senate are acting wisely in
giving it a thorough discussion. Dragged
into the fresh air of free and full discussion
the High Tariff will fall to pieces like a
moth eaten garment.

themselves to support a bill which will pre-
vent railroads going so deep into the far
