Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
OFTLEY, VA, September 26.-Dr. Is. L.
Winston, Of Hanover Courthouse, an ex-
president and prominent member of the
County Alliance, who recently represented
tine county at the State Alliance and the
Third District at the Democratic National
Convention held in Chicago addressed
the Point-LoOkout Cleveland, Stevenson
aud Wise Campaign Club at divers on
Saturday night. lie dwelt chiefly on the
evils of the protective tariff and the force
bill.
lie stated that the millionaire manufac-
turers of the North were through this war
tax, which is kept up in times of peace,
enrlchng themselves at the expense Of the
South and he told the farmers present
that under this alleged beneficial Republ-
can system plows and Other agricultural
implements of American make could be
bought more cheaply to-day ia South
America than in the United States. He
warned his hearers against tho iniquitous
purposes of the force bill and made some
effective points against this dangerous mea-
sure, quoting in evidence an editorial from
the Philadelphia Press that South-hating
organ, in which 1t was boldly asserted
that the increasing prosperity of the South
and its rapid strides III manufactures were
seriously hurting the business interests of
the North, and MIST be checked by force
bills and similar legislation tending to
perpetuate the mOnOpollstlc rule of the
Republican party. As further proof of this
evil anlmus towards the South he read an
extract from the National Republican, stating
that the southern negro was deprived of
various rights and privileges in the public
schools and elsewhere. aud that they must
be secured for him through the medium of
the force bill.

bers OF 1t IN Hanover and elsewhere, yet
he thought they erred greatly in judgment

planned of by the farmer could be cor

that a vote for Weaver and Field would be
really nothing morenor less than a vote for
Harrison and the dire consequences at
