IN A NUTSHELL.

There cannot be justice, nor real sound,
wholesome, national prosperity in taxing
fifty seven millions of people, in order that
three million of people engaged in manu-
features may get good wages.
There cannot he justice nor generally
diffused prosperity in adding to the cost OF
everything used by seven million six hun
dred thousand people engaged in agricul-
ture, in order that three million of people
engaged in manufactures may get good
wages.
1t cannot be just nor profitable to tax over
seven million farmers and oyer four mil
lion people engaged in other work, in order
that three million people may get good
wages.
Ncr in thirty years has it succeeded in
giving the three million good wages, though
it has succeeded in making many million.
ares of men the three million worked for.
1t has Gu the contrary kept the three mil
lion continually striking. not for better
wages but to keep those they already have
from being reduced.
In short, protection does not give and
cannot give a generally diffused prosperity
in any country that maintains it. 1t
makes rich men by the hundred and pool

ReJOlnQer OF tile DanVllle RegiSter.1
The Richmond State has long editorial in
its issue of June 10Th attempting to show that
the figures used by the Register and Mr.. With
ers, showing the extravaganza of Virginia S
government are grossly misleading" In the
main the States article is hardly worthy of
reply, and in saying this we mean no discour-
tesy to its editor, but simply state a fact, and
we will illustrate. After accusing the Reg
lister of misleading" it proceeds to show
that we included, in our estimate of Virginia s
expenses $1.219,9OO.7 interest OH the State
debt Ofcourse we did, but the State omits to
state that interest in 1892 amounted to but
1894, 1882, to which we called attention as
did Mr.. Withers in his speech, and now, we
ask the State to explain this discrepancy. We
might "mislead' if we undertake to do so.
We also ask the State if North Carolina.
Georgia and Tennessee have State debts, and
we ask further, don't they too, possess asy
lums, public schools, eleemosynary institu
tions, literary and educational institutions to
which they annually appropriate large sums?
Don't they too appropriate heavily to the pen
sions for ex-Confederate soldiers? Name an
item which the State has named as not being
:" PAoPoA AOOul VI oGdbo cApouS6S WHICH Is not
among the list of disbursements in these other
States and then let us see in what respects
and in what amounts the people of Virginia
are burdened with expenses which do not bear
upon the people of other States. We would
further ask the State if the facts, figures and
data used by Mr.. Withers IN his speech were
not placed at it's disposal by Mr.. Withers ?
We would also ask if Mr.. Withers did not 90
to Mr.. Noel, it's reporter, and to MIR. w. S.
Copeland, its editor, and tender to them what
ever data he had in his possession! And we
would ask if they were so "misleadlng" why
was not this then detected and exposed? We
stand ready now to submit our figures and our
authorities to the State, OF any one else, editor,
official, accountant or statistician, and we
challenge any living man to refute single
statement, fact OF figure. or to prove them
misleading or unfair. The State shows it's
familiarity with this matter by its statement
that TALL that constitutional convention
could do to reduce them (the expenses) would
be to change our court SYSTEM This state
ment answers itself and disoredits the whole

THE Value OF POLITICAL
Pa PT'TES

That two honest political parties are in
valuable to a nation, State OF city, the pres
ent investigation of the police force OF
New FORK city clearly shows. In that city
there is and has been for years Il combine
OF the baser elements Of the Democratic
and Republican parties, IL combine based
on corrupt practices. Under the immunity
arising from this combine the police force
of the city has become black mailing
machine which for money protects all vi
OlatorS Of the law, from burglars down to
the keepers Of LEVIED houses. The legisla-
tive Investigation now progressing is
bringing out startling facts, and showing
that 10y paying monthly OIL annual sums to
the police, almost any sort of violation of
law will be permitted to pass UNPUBLISHED.
| And, even worse, that if tribute is not
paid to the police. men conducting an hon.
est business will be harrassed out of it.,
The evidence so far taken justifies the fig
ures given below as the amount of money
received by the 5000 policemen of New
York, their officers, and the political bosses
of both parties, with whom they have to
share:
From the city for salaries. S 5, l39, 147 GA
From saloons. 100000. 90
From disorderly houses........... S,100. 900 90
From merchants and peddlers.. $4,000 90
Gambling houses. observation-disclosures. 10000 90
Total. ,274 147 GA
Except that received for salaries, the
whole OF the rest is obtained by protecting
law-breakers, by harrassing honest mer-
chants, by granting privileges which they
have no right to grant, and by standing be-
tween injured citizens who have been rob
bed by violators of the law and protecting
the latter. The evidence involves Police
Commissioners, Aldermen, Corporation
Attorneys, and many high Officially, but
low socially city officers. 1t has been
going on, as the evidence shows, for thirty
years! Fifteen millions year for thirty
years. Up to date no more dsgraceful
exposure of corruption in any great city OF
the world, has been made.
