Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-02-10
Senator Daniel and West Virginia


Senator DANIEL is very closely watching
The interests of the Old Dominion in the
matter of the payment to West Virginia OF
30 much Of the direct-tax money "a was
paid to the United States from West Vir-
ginia's treasury. Very naturally he does
not desire to see il passed over to West
Virginia rs long as the claim Of the
United States Government against the old
State is unsettled.
The United States Government holds on
account of the Indian trust fund large
sum Of old Virginia bonds. And she is in
debted to us, as we contend, in o greater
amount perhaps on account of advances
made by Virginia to her for prosecuting
the war Of 1912 and for the construction OF
the government buildings at Washington.
All that Virginia asks is fair settlement.
and in this settlement it may be the wish
of the United States to use West Virginia's
portion of the direct-tax fund as an Offset
against West Virginia's indebtedness to
the Federal Government on account of
her proportion Of the bonds held in the
trust fund; for ii is not admitted by the
Federal authorities that the General Gov
ernment owes us great deal. Much, ii
not all, of the money advanced" they
wish to treat as gift.
Senator DANIEL Is aiming only at so
much of the direct tax as West Virginia
paid out of her treasury; not at that paid
directly by her citizens to the collecting
officers of the United States Government

The Anti-Monopoly Bill.

30 far this General Assembly has been
prudent and conservative. Where it has
had doubts 1t has followed the railroad
mems maxim and taken the safe track,
and We have faith that it will do 80 with
refsrence to the anti-monopoly bill.
II will surprise us very much indeed ii
that bill is allowed to become law, for 1t
promises infinite evil without the prospect
Of doing any possible good.
1t would be blunder of the proportion
Of that committed by the last General As
pembly when it refused TO give the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company Virginia charter,
BY which this State was put in silly posi-
ton and thousands of dollars of revenue
were thrown away by US and picked up by
New Jersey.
Our people must look out tor them
selves. They must endeavor to show how
mischievous all this anti-monopoly legis-
lation" will be. They must argue with
men Of different minds. and seek TO show
them by facts and figures that no good
can possibly come out of warfare upon
the American Tobacco Company, or any
other like corporation. If they are driven
from here the people will suffer, and it is.
therefore, for the people to utter mighty
protest against oil the bills and substitutes
and oil plans and devices which may cause
those companies to prefer to have homes
In some other State.
We cheerfully concede that the support
srs of those schemes are honest and SIM
cere, but they are mistaken. So, we must
try to convince them that they are wrong
and that we are right. and if we fail we
shall depend upon the conservative men,
bers Of the House and Senate to decide be-
tween us

Mr.. W. A. STUART. whose sudden death
in Philadelphia was announced by us yes
terday, was known to thousands OF per-
sons as the owner of the Greenbrier White
Sulphur Springs. Though he left the de-
tails of the management of the springs to
Others and was retiring in his disposition,
people from all parts of the country were
thrown into contact with him, and he won
the good opinion of all. He had fine ca
pacity for business and was interested in
many enterprises. He was brother of
General j. e. b. STUART, and was devoted
TO his memory. He ii was-not the city OF
Richmond. which had promised it-that
placed the monument over the great cav
alryman's grave in Hollywood. He was
one of the owners of the salt-works in the
Southwest which during the war sup
piled Virginia with salt. and it was there
and then that he laid the foundation of
his large fortune.

HARRISON.

BLAINE has disappeared. and HARRISON has
taken his place as the prospective Repub.
lican nominee for President of the United
States. 1t is just as certain as anything
uncertain can be. that MIR. HARRISON will
have the honor of being defeated next
November By the nominee of the Demo
cratic National Convention, which meets
In Chicago on the DIST of June. 1t is not
given to many men to have BLAINE's power
to control masses of men and draw to his
support tho leaders of the leaders. That
man is truly great who can do these things,
whatever his opponents may say to the
contrary. Mr.. HARRIsoN is no such man.
He is Q mere plodder. But the fates have
ordered that he shall bear the banner next
fall which Mr.. BLAINE has just laid down.
The Democrats would have elected their
nominee over even BLAINE. They will de-
feat HARRISON if they make half the effort
which they would have had TO make in
order to compass the defeat OF BLAINE.
We regret that Mr.. BLAISE's health is SO
bad. We sympathize with him in his most
undesirable forced retirement. But we
rejoice that We have only HARRISON to
beat

The Balance ofTrade.

The so-called balance of trade" defies
the political economists. IL will not do
What 1t ought to do. 1t will not carry out
the programme made out for il by the wise
lawmakers Of the world. We recently
mentioned that when no was Secretary of
the Treasury the Hon. ROBERT J. WALKrR
undertook to show that it was to the ill.,
terest of any country TO have the balance
OF trade against 1t. that balance represent
ing, a. he claimed, the profit which the
exporters Of goods had made. Messrs.
HAMILTON d Co., of Baltimore, are not
satisfied with what they have read upon
Chs subject. In their last circular they

Public opinion caused that law to be re-
