lUNTON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER. =

The New York Hedrld, which has very
closely searched the record of the Pension
Office On the subject, makes the startling
statement that the fraudulent pensions paid
by the government now amount to $40, OOO,-
600 year. This is greater than the total
pensions used to be some years after the
war, and as much as betrayed the expenses
of the whole government under BnchaDan's
administration before the war. No wonder
the pensions last year amounted 10 $780,
00O, 900 and promise to amount vol on to
5000, 000, 900. it all the plans and recommen-
dations of Raum are carried out Fortu-
nately the Democrats have the controlling
majority In the next House of Represents
lives, and will hardly let any more of these
bounty pensions be issued or paid, even if
they do not greatly curtail the present
shameless waste of public money in that
direction. During the war it was pretend
ed By the Republicans that their Grand
Army of 2, 700, 900 soldiers wore all fighting
from motives of pure duty and patriotism,
to ''save the dear Union without any claim
or expectation of reward or compensation.
But now every one that drew his sword or
shouldered musket or got into prison dur.
ing the war, claims life pension at the
highest rate as reward for their services.
They are rohbing government, annually,
of millions which they pretended to have
served from pure patriOtism!-and are steal
ing from the treasury s44, 900, 900 annually
for persons who never served in the army
at all for single day. Nobody objects to
liberal pensions for wounded soldiers, but
to pension for twenty-five years after the
war almost as many soldiers and widows
as were living at its close, ia shameless
fraud upon the country. Nesos.

The difference between the "Virginian"
and the SPECTATOR is, that when there
were abuses to reform, the "Virginian" was
for reform and the SPECTATOR for the
abuse. Now, when through the efforts OF
the "Virginian" the law is obeyed and
order preserved, the SPECTATOR is against
license and the ''VirgInian'' for it, be-
cause experience and common sense teach
that local option cannot be enforced, and
If tried will result in the condition of things
that prevailed when the "Virginian" made
the fight against excuses and the SPRCTA.

We would suggest to our venerable CO.

The editor of the ''Valley Virginian''
having changed his position on the question

are surprised at the interpretation of the
"Yirginian" in the paragraph above
copied from its last issue. The views we
held four years ago on this question we
hold now, and the views we hold now we
held then. In our views on this question:

A Horse Sh0t.

One OF the most outrageous occurrences
which has ever disgraced our county occur
red on last Friday night near Woodland
Church, about two and half miles from
LiDville, in this county.
Some ecoundrel entered the field of Mr..
John Chapman and deliberately shot fine
young mare, putting thirteen bullets into
her right shoulder.
This was dona for spite work, and the
man who would be guilty of such an under
handed, sneaking act would not be too
good to commit murder if he was not afraid
of detection.
1t is thought that there is evidence point
ing to the guilty, and if he is caught we
hope he may get the full extent of the laws

Meanwhile, that we may the batter and

contest in 1892, and now that we have full
time for the work, it is adviaed-then fol-
lows the plan of organization, which is in

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound of imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of tho mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

HONESTY.

=
THE TARIFF AND STocKINGs.-Up to
1880 people bought the imported hosiery
with protective" tax On it of forty per
cent-its retail price being increased thus
by about one-half. That was bad enough,
but the Mckinley act hsd worse in store
There was some $12, 900, geo worth bought
abroad yearly, and few manufacturers de-
termined to turn that stream into their own
pockets. The result: On hose worth
abroad SO dozen pairs, the Mckinley act
increased the tax by seveDty-6ve cents a
dozen. On hose worth four dollars dozan
the tax was increased by one dollar q
dozen. Ga the cheapest class of hose the
duty was increased from forty to fifty. five
per cent. The effect has not been much
felt till now, because almost years sup.
ply was imported just before the Mckinley
act went into operation. Now that the old
stock is being exhausted, buyers find they
must take an inferior quality if they want
socks, or stockings to sell ct the old prices.
You can get the ghost of what yop for
merly bought at the old price, but must
psy higher for the old article. That is the
way it works. The protected American
manufacturer makes you waste your
money. He also puzzles you. There is no
American-made hosiery to take the place
Of the foreign in quality and price. You
dissipate yonr income insensibly in paying
increased prices for things your family
must have. Has the foreigner been hurt2
Not at all. He says: SWELL, you insist osi
having something like the old article to sell
at the old price. Here 1t is. 1t is the same
in appearance but not in quality. If you
don't like the quality it is Mr.. Mckinley or
your purse that is to blame" And so it
comes ahout that Americans pay higher
prices for nearly ali manufactured goods
than foreigners pay, and for inferior goods
at that. That is what they wanted when
they voted a protectionist Congress into
power in 1888. Or that is what the pro-
tectlcnist Congress supposed they wanted.
