ISSUES OF THE COMPAIGN
OF 1892.

OF 1892.
Congressman lsador Ray
ner of this State in reply to
an inquiry from the New York
Ho,-ld as to the best plan of
campaign for the Democrats
this year says:
EvSf-The principal and
paramount issue between the
parties is the tariff. Our
platform draws the line Of
demarcation so plainly that
all doubt is removed and evas-
ion becomes impossible. OF
course the charge will again
be rung upon us that we are
in favor of free trade, but
there is no danger to be ap-
pretended from this source.
The public will no longer be
deceived by catch-words. As
long as Custom. House tax
alton exists and as long as the
Government depends for its
revenues upon import duties,
SO long is free trade a practi-
cal impossibility. We are for
a tariff for revenue and a tar
if for revenue only, and for
the first time in the history of
the party we make this bold
announcement TO the country.
The Republican party is for
protection with incidental rev
enue. We are pledged, if
we obtain the power, to re-
peal the Mckinley bill and to
lower duties all along the line
as far as possible upon every
article of necessary consump-
ton. The Republican party
is pledged to protect monopo-
ly without the slightest regard
TO the interest OF the Ameri-
can consumer. This is the
great issue which will again
and again be presented to the
people until by the intelligent
suffrages of our countrymen
it is decided in favor of the
principle that this Govern
ment has no power to tax the
people beyond the expenses
'eurred in an economical ad
S-ninistratioa of its affairs.
SeeOnd-The next issue be-
tween the parties arises from
the fact that we are in favor
of economy in the expendi
ture of the peoples money,
and the Republican party is
in favor of all extravigant
measures that will increase
the burdens of taxation and
necessarily increase the pro-
lection that i! confers upon
those who SO lavishly contri-
butte TO its success. 1t is in
favor of public grants and
bounties and subsidies and of
every other scheme that tends
TO centralize the wealth Of the
country in the localities from
which it draws its votes. We
believe in plain, simple and
honest conduct OF our affairs
in accordance with the tradi-
tions of our party, and in
proof of our sincerity we can
point to the action Of the pres
ent Congress in cutting down
all unnecessary expenses and
in protecting the Treasury
against the raid that the pro
tected and favored benehci-
aries of the Republican party
are continually making upon
it.
Thiyd-The next issue is
upon the Force bill. When
! say Force bill, ! include in
it every scheme that contcm-
plates the usurpation of the
great elective franchise of
the States in the hands Of the
Federal Government. This
is a desperate scheme upon
the part of the Republican
managers. and must be op-
posed by every lawful means
within our power. 1t admits
OF no compromise whatever,
and, endangering as it does
the safety of the Republic. I'll

A Suggestion as to the Bill Before the
House.

House.
A bill. originating in the State Senate and
passed by that body, goes to the House OF
Delegates for its action, entitled "A bill to
provide for the proper Distribution of moneys
received by the State of Virginia on account
OF the direct taxes refunded by the United
States to the State for the benefit of certain
citizens, inhabitants thereof, and other per
sons"
The object Of this bill is to institute a
method by which taxes. admitted by the
United States Government TO have been I'M
Justly exacted, shall be returned To the lndl-
yiduals TO whom they belong. This commu-
nicatiOn is written principally Tor the perusal
and consideration of the members of the
House of Delegates, who will have this sub
ject submitted to them by the advocates Of
the bill in all Its phases; therefore 1t IS useless
to enter upon its details. Our motive IN this
writing is to present and reprobate the most
Objectionable feature of this proposed statute,
which is that provision that the county treas
urers Of the State shall be the disbursers of
this fund.
This money was %wrongfully taken directly
from the pocket If the taxpayer and should
be as directly returned TO that private de-
p~ository without any commissions TO the
kta,e officer. and if he is to receive no CON-
missions for this disbursement II is unjust 10
Impose this duty on him without cOmpensa-
ton.
And what guarantee is there that this fund
will be honestly distributed 1t seems by
the terms of the bill that the treasurer is to
receive all the money due the taxpayer listed
in this behalf in his county, TO be distributed
upon evidence satisfactory TO him that the re-
ciplents are the proper and Just claimants.
But suppose he proves TO be a detaulter IN
what plight does the creditor stand
VIII the State treasurer then make
the money good TO him There
is no such provision in the bill;
nor can his bondsmeu be held liable. because
1t is an ex post facto obligation which vii not
attach TO them. Again. the treasurer IS
elected for a term of years. which may expire
before this trust is executed and he be sue
ceeded by another person. which Is response
bic and whose bond will be ainenable. If 1t
can be So held at all Z Then as soon as the
treasurer has this fund in hand 1t will be La
bic to earnishee or attachment for small
claims. 30 that the Taxpayer IN many cases
will realize no benefit III the refund OF the
money OF which lie has been despoiled.
Let us have no middle man III this business,
but refund 10 the Taxpayer his money with
out charges or abatement. JUSTICE.
