played thus; A well dressed stranger
with a handbag hurries into hotel
restaurant near railway station, eats

Ewing. Democratic nominee for treas

opinion a. 10 the most important issue in 1892,
tariff reform or free silver coinage, said:
Free coinage Of silver will be the question.
Tariff is what ruined Mr. Cleveland and the
Democratic party during the last Presidential
campaign, and we cannot again make the
fight on a question which defeated us especi-
ally when the different Democratic
States are 50 divided among them
selves about il, ! think 1t would be
bad policy Though high prices mean greater
prosperity for Us farmers, but "a It IS now
farmer can live as cheaply IN town as he can
upon his farm. Free silver don't split up the
party so and is the leading question out West.
and the most beneficial one in the South too,
believe The two sections by meeting for
common interest can make free coinage OF
silver the paramount issue IN the campaign.
and carry the Democratic party to a glorious
victory
Mr. W. d. NJ Stokes. president Of the County
Alliance, says: Tariff reform Is the thing Tor
1892: it comes nearer the farmer and more dl-
rectly concerns the country At large than free
silver coinage which tends rather to the bet
terment Of the West than any other section,
while tariff reform covers all sections equally
In its reach"
Mr.. 4. A. Bruce SAYS: II regard free silver
coinage more important than tariff reform rs
an issue for 1892. Tariff reform is an old road
ster that ought TO be groomed by our Con
gressmen, while an increased money clrcua
ton is what the farmers most need and will
better alleviate their condition.
Captain r. H. Watkins: Il regard both
measures of the utmost importance ~ the
prosperity Of our country. especially Of the
farming and laboring classes Of her people:
and as the Democratic party is composed
mainly Of these classes see no good reason
why il should not. in bold and manly way,
declare itself in favor of both tariff reform
and free silver coinage"
George Hunt: Free coinage will, in my
opinion, be the most successful Issue for the
party in 1892, and it is what the working class
es mostly desire in my section of the country
as producing more prosperity"

-Four Representative Farmers Think Tariff
Reform All That Is Needed.

MARION. Va. April 81 have recently in
terviewed few Of our leading farmers as to
which. in their opinion, is the more important
issue for 1892, tariff reform or free silver
coinage" and received the following answers:
No. l. | would say the tariff, which, If
properly reformed. will increase its circula-
ton sufficiently to meet all the business de-
mands.
No. ,. The tariff. believe. beyond ques-
ton. The next Congress will, l think, dis
pose of the silver question.
No. g. My opinion is that tariff reform
should be the issue in 1892. / don't think
that either of the old parties want to tackle
the silver problem. Tariff reform will bring
more good results to us farmers. and think
we ought 10 make it the battle cry of 1892.
No. 4. Tariff reform always. Look what
change Blaines little reciprocity treaty has
made in the price Of sugars, for instance;
graduated. which sold one year ago at l0r1
cents. is now being sold at 81 cents. Now.
suppose the rule was applied all the way
through. don't YOU see what large amount Of
money would be left in the hands Of us farm
ers and consumers generally, as the difference
in cost at present and what it will be under
proper tariff.

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. April 1l.-Dr Leonard
Henley. a resident physician, who owns and
operates two farms in this vicinity and who
is also member Of the Farmers Alliance and
a local lecturer for that order. when asked his
opinion in regard TO tariff reform and the free
coinage OF silver. said: Il am strongly IN favor
of both these measures, and ] think that If
they were put into operation would rebound
greatly to the benefit not only OF the farmers,
but Of the people generally"
Mr. David $. Cowes said: II have always
been in favor lof tariff reform and think
that it would inure 10 the benefit Of large
class OF our people: yes a majority Of the
people of this country would be benefited by
It's enactment into law: but in regard to the
silver question about which so much has been
spoken aud written, am not sufficiently IN
formed T. express an intelligent opinion"
Mr. William A. Bloxton. president of the
old Capital Lodge of the Farmers Alliance,
states that he is q strong tariff reform man.
and an earnest advocate of the free coinage OF
silver both Of which measures he believes
will make times better for the farmer and
bring corresponding benefits TO the great
mass of the people.
DR.. l.. q. Brote, OF the Grove, says he
thinks that tariff reform is the most important
question which claims the attention OF the
public: that he Is heartily in favor OF such re-
form. but IS opposed 10 the Hee coinage OF
silver.
Mr. Thomas l.. Blaxton thinks the two
questions are of the utmost importance, not
only 10 the farming interest but to the peo-
pie generally, but IS disposed TO think that
Of the two the free coinage of silver Is the
more important He is in favor Of both Of
