Mr.. Pitcher, of Fauquier, made a very

advocated the passage of the bill which

thought that the bill would certainly do

EDITOR BULLETIN.-A joint com
mittee, composed of members from the
House and Senate, called on the pres
Ideni Friday evening last al 2 O'Clock
to ascertain ii he desired to recon-
mend any further legislation for con-
sIderatIon at the extra SESSION. His
reply was, 81 do not. You have ac>
cnmpIlshej that for winch you were
assem- ied." One hour afterwards
congress adjourned to meet on the
first Monday in December. Many OF
the mem.,eTs have returned to their

the present congress is comprised OF
men, some ct whom have no hi. her
conception of craftsmanship and pa
trinlism than TO find out what they
consider the popular side. and in order
20 further personal interests, they
bend every energy To the accom-
plishment of purpose which their
better judgment tells them is wrong
they are lacking IN nerve and siam

other methods that may be
adopted, which would be in
accordance with the Demo-
cratic platform, and in our
opinion would bring about
the desired results. Instead
of increasing the taxes and
thus adding to the crime
committed by the Republic
can party, the assessments
on imported articles should
be reduced. By so doing,
foreign manufacturers would
then be enable to compete
with those of this country.
No revenue is derived from
those of this country, they
pay no custom duties, but
foreign manufacturers are
compelled to pay a custom
duty, which goes into the
United States treasury, be-
fore they can sell their mer-
chandise in this country. 1t
is therefore to the interest of
the unprotected classes to in
vite, rather than debar, i'm
portation of dutible goods.
The declarations of Populite
orators who assert that the
tariff is an old chestnut from
which no evil results, proves
them to be either a lot of ig-
noramuses or hypocrites. The
present tariff law not only
levies a tax upon the people,
but has caused a decrease in
the revenue by preventing
competition from abroad. But
there is need of other meas
ures of a remedial character.
The current expenses of this
government are too great,
and in many departments of
government could and should
be remedied. Besides, there
is great necessity of reducing
the exorbitant amount annu-
ally paid to the pensioned.
Not until unjust laws are re-
pcaled and equitable ones are
passed will prosperity be en-
| Logged to that extent as in the
past.

AND now the Knoxville
Tribune and the Appeal-Av-
alanche are contending as to
which of the towns, Knox
vile and Memphis, withstood,
most enviOusly, the financial
pressure. With all due mod
esty, we would remind those
papers that when the towns
mentioned are compared with
ours, as to ability to withstand
financial pressure, they are
strictly not in it. Indeed,
we are of the opinion that its
name should be changed
from Bolivar to Peter, for
against this rock the waves
of adversely are waited only
to be "busted."

elected governor of Ohio by
about so, 900 majority. Gov
ernor Bots was defeated by
Frank ID. jackson in Iowa.
Both Kentucky and Virginia
remain in the Democratic
column. Kentucky elected a
Democratic Legislature which
is to elect a United States
senator. Virginia elected O.
Ferrall, the Democratic NOM
inee, to the governship. Mas
sachusetts elects a Republi-
can governor. The indica-
tons are that the Populists
were badly defeated by the
Republicansin Kansas. Va
rious reasons are assigned
that caused the defeat of De-
mocracy, but the most accu-
rate one was the fixture of
that party to secure enough
votes to win.

AN evil, compared with
which all others pale into in
significance, is the existing
tariff law. 1t is indeed and
in truth the vampire that i'm
pedes progress in our south
land; that has caused a de-
crease In our revenue in pro-
hibiting foreign manufactured
goods from entering, to any
great extent, the ports of our
country; that has caused by
turning away the trade from
foreign nations that once
was a source OF revenue, the
enrichment of the classes at
the expense of the masses.
Upon no other question has
Democracy pronounced it's
disapprobation more vehe-
mently and explicitly. With
that question congress will
deal during the next session,
and the result will be awaited
with the greatest of interest,
especially by the South. We
have grown weary of a law
that fosters those who COM
pei us of the United States
to pay more for their wares
and merchandise than those
of other nations. Under the
operation of the protective
system, trusts and combines
have sprung up, and besides,
it has caused a depreciation
in the values of all unprotect-
ed industries and a CORES
pending increase of the pro-
tected. AS q consequence,
there is but little demand for
real estate, because of the
small profits in farming, and
in many instances the losses
sustained by those who till
the soil. The enormity of
the injustice brought about
by that iniquitous system,
which is a legacy of the Re
publican party, has had a
most injurious effect upon all
agricultural states. But we
are not without hope, for the
prospects are, that ere long,
wrongs will be righted in the
repeal of the law that pro-
tects for projections sake,
and the passage of another
for tariff for revenue only.

THE report of the Secrets

THE report of the Secreta-
ry of the Treasury shows
the deficit for the first three
months of the current fiscal
year to be over $21, 900, 900.
The expenditures for that
period of time were $23 ,O00,-
600 per month and the re-
ceipts were only about $50, :
100000 per month. Secre-
tary Carlisle is of the opin-
ion that the deficit will not
be less than $4,000, 900 for
the year. If his predictions
become true, the National
debt will be increased to that
extent. In that event, the
obligation would have to be
met. Under our present sys-
tenn the receipts of the gov
eminent are confined to Gus
,om duties and internal taxes.
It is therefore evident that
unless there is a change, the
,nly way to meet a deficit is
o increase the taxes. But
instead of doing so there are
