ANorHpR BIow FOR VIRGINIA

Enterprises in coal and iron ore are far
from being the only Virginia industries
that will be injured by tha Wilson pro-
tective-tarin- free-trade bill.
Lime is manufactured in twenty-five
States, and its manufacture employs
hundreds Of thousands OF hands in quarry
ing, cutting wood, etc, etc. We have
number Of lime manufactures in Virginia
that are and have been doing a prosper
Gus business. They have been able to do
it because the existing tariff Of six cents
per hundred pounds on lime. which
amounts to thirteen cents on the barrel,
has practically barred out New Bruins
wick lime. The Wilson bill. however. re-
duces the duty on lime 10 10 per cent. ad
valorem, which makes the tax about
three cents on the barrel. This will kill
all the American trade in lime along the
Atlantic coast, and will transfer the bene-
ft OF It to New Brunswick. where the
people can manufacture lime for but lit
tie more than half of what It costs here.
Americans have got right TO the
cheapest lime they can get, and If the
Wilson bill levied duties upon all imports
ratably and alike, we should not say one
word against the reduction OF the duty on
lime. But the Wilson bill makes discrim-
nations in its impositions OF duties. 1t
imposes duties oil. the articles that New
England manufacturers produce that ex-
clude those articles when produced abroad.
II. therefore. gives these New England
manufacturers a monopoly in the sale OF
all such goods to all other Americans.
Shall 1t protect these New England manu-
facturers and force us TO sell our lime
In competition with New Brunswick? II
rhall not do 1t without a continued pro-
test from the Times.
The st. Johns Telegraph knows how
the case will stand. and thus sums 1t up:
There are some persons intimately ac-
auainted with the lime business of st.
John who predict that In a very short
time otter the new tariff goes into opera
alton, the production OF lime here Will
be giving employment TO thousands Of
men, and the export Of lime will reach
more than $1O00,000 in value annually
1t is needless 10 say that such a result
would give boom 10 the business OF
the city such as 1t has not experienced
since the decline of shipbuiiding. and
that every interest in st. John would be
favorably affected by It,"
II Is a matter OF common report that
the millionaire monopoiist. Mr.. Frank
Jones. is at the head OF a syndicate, COM
posed Of Standard on people, which has
purchased the ST. Johns qulrries. and
that It IL going TO endeavor TO monopolize
the lime business of our whole Atlantic
coast. Is there another job here like the
Nova Scotia coal job that there is only
too much reason 90 believe the Wilson

DEMAND FOR WAR MATERIAL.
An American Expert says the War Scare IL
Genuine

"Mr. w. II. Jaques, the well-known
naval expert, ana ordnance engineer of
the Bethlehem Steel Works" says the
New York Sun, returned on the Umbria
this week from a flying visit to England,
and brings word that the war scare and
dissatisfaction in England with the con-
dition of the British navy are real and
not creations Of newspaper correspond
ents. The visit OF the Russian ships to
France stirred up the interest in naval
matters abroad and did as much as any
thing to reveal the actual weak condition
OF the English navy, for 1t has been pro-
nounced weak by great naval experts
in view of the work it was expected 20
do, and the supremacy of the seas it
was supposed TO be capable Of maintain
ing.
"AIr. Jacques confirms the idea that the
output OF war material is being con-
stantly increased and with much rapldity.
In Europe the opinion is gaining strength
that the day may be near when there will
be use for considerable OF this material"
