A Setting to Shakespeare.

I am persuaded that if Shake
speare lived today he would rejoice
in the beautiful illustration of his
plays that is now always accorded to
them by the better theaters. Of
course the setting of plays today is
so utterly different from the Eliza
bethan setting that a revival of a
Shakespearean play often necessi-
tates some Encouragement and cut
ting of scenes. But if / may venture
upon what will doubtless be called an
amazing piece of impudence here
again fancy Shakespeare would be
very tolerant He was consummate
master of stagecraft and had the
keenest sense for what was effective
on the boards. But he was far
more than this.
In spite of all their crudities and of
their adaptation to wholly different
modes of stage setting and stage man.

Democratic Inaction.

The tariff bill has been before the sem
ate for many weeks. Over 400 Demo-
cratic amendments have been proposed,
and the long debate on each Of these
drags from week to week, from month
to month. Meantime the country waits;
industries of every sort, paralyzed by
the threat of the repeal Of the present
protective tariff, stand idle or working
on short time until some definite legisla-
ton is in sight. This long delay, this
continued tension of the business situa-
tion, is wholly due to Democratic inca
pacity.
Look at the record of delays. Mr.. Will
sons bill was so altered and amended in
the house that it was hardly recognize
able. 1t went to the senate to be re-
vamped in secret caucus and loaded
down with over 400 amendments. If
they had mind Of their own, why did
they not speak it in their first bill? Why,
if the Wilson bill is wrong, are we to be-
lieve that the Wilson-VoorheeS bill is
perfect?
The mere careful consideration of a
tariff bill demands time. If to that is
added 400 amendments by Democratic
committee, many weeks must be con-
sumed.
All the Republicans ask is fair discus
sion of each paragraph and principle
It is not their fault if afuctuating Dem
ocratic mind brings 400 new topics to be
debated.
They have a few rights; should be ex-
pected to propose some amendments, but
they are not standing in the way.
They have dared the Democrats to
bring it to vote. They stand ready to
press the matter to speedy decision.
All they will demand is that after fair
and full discussion there should be yea
and nay votes on all important topics, so
that there can be no Democratic hedg-
ing, no hiding behind unrecorded votes
The Democrats have full control Of the
executive, the house and the senate.
That they do nothing except talk and
quarrel among themselves is no fault of
the minority. When the Republicans
had charge, they knew their mind and
spoke it and got their legislation onto
the statute books in good order. That
the Democrats fail in this duty is be-
cause they have no mind or so many DIFF
ferent ones; because they are unable to
rise to the dignity of initiative, but pot
ter and dodder while nation waits in
idleness and distress.

THE BRITISH ARE ANXIOUS.
Their Exports of Goods to America Have
Very Largely Decreased.

The New York importers of foreign
goods were not satisfied with their first
meeting at Cooper Union, when the name
of ex-President Harrison was applauded,
and when they agreed to swallow the
"carcass out of which the fostering flies
of lies and perjury constantly rise"
They wanted another meal of it, so held
a second meeting, but did not publish
this time the names of any importers,
lawyers, presidents, chairmen, free trade
editors and eating house proprietOrs who
signed call, but held it under the aus
pices of the Manhattan Single Tax club.
The urgency for the passage of the
Wilson tariff bill, so called, is becoming
very pronounced. Trade and business
are in critical condition in England,
where the volume of exports is decreas-
ing, and particularly so far as the United
States is concerned, the decrease in ship
ments to this country up to March 81
last exceeding the entire falling off
shown in the total trade with all other
foreign countries for the quarter. In an
ticipation of our lower tariff on cotton
manufactures England continues to buy
very largely from us of cheap raw cot
ton, expecting TO ship it back here in the
shape Of cotton goods later in the year.
But in the matter of exports of British
goods to the United States the London
Economist gives the following exhibit:

The Industry of the Sheriff,

The platform of the Democratic party
at Chicago vigorously denounced the in
dustry of the sheriff, which, it was
claimed, had been fostered by protection.
Remembering how busy time the sher-
iff has had since March 4, 1898, it is as
we'll to see how the Democratic perform
ance has agreed with its denunciation of
the sheriffs industry.
During 1898 there were 1850 trade
failures in the United States, being 80
per cent more than in 1892. The liabili-
ties of those who failed in 1898 wei }
$3.50, ,000,0 900, as compared with liabilities
of $10S,000,000 in 1892, an increase of
$685., 900, 900 in single year. Was there

this Chicago denunciatiOn of the sheriff!

mand the immediate cessation of the pol
icy of prostration which the high sheriff
is thrusting upon the American people

The Mark Lane Express, the repre-

tural classes, in its issue Of May has
the following strong and significant re-
marks:
"Protection, protection, protection!

IsH EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES.
Totals. .........

Here we find that the British manu-
facturers have sold to American con-
sumers $12 100000 worth less of the
goods enumerated during the first three
months of this year than they sold us
during the corresponding quarter of
1898, and this does not comprise their
total sales, the aggregate of their ex-
ports showing a shrinkage Of $19, 9,500,-
600 for the three months this year, or at
the rate of $500 900 a month.
When the British shopkeeper is drop

to go wild, and it is not surprising that
a loss of Sc, 10000 month, during three
consecutive months, of golden dollars

Mr.. Frederic r. Coudert of New York
has aptly described the meal that the
free traders in the senate are preparing
for themselves under the direction of
Chief Cook Cleveland. 1t is as follows:
"The income tax is a carcass out of
which the fostering flies of lies and per-
jury constantly rise, and the result has
been, and the result must be, and the
result shall be premium upon perjury
and penalty for honesty and truth.
But such is the importance of passing a
tariff bill that l swallow it, income tax

A Word on Exports.

A free trader is always telling us that
under protection we are not able to sell
our goods in foreign markets, but that if
we have free trade we shall be able to
sell in every market in the world. Dur
ing the last 20 years England has been
free trade country while America has
been protected. We can see how the ex-
ports of the two countries have increased
from the following figures:
England. America.

1880 1890. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 5.5 1917
Average increase. .............. 21.0 S43
1t thus appears that during these 20
years the average increase of exports has
been only 81 per cent in free trade Eng
land while it was 84.3 per cent increase
In America. This fact is calculated to
upset another free trade theory.

The Barbecue

1t has been decided to have bar
becue here on the Goth inst instead OF
the 18th as previously announced
The reason it was postponed to a
later date was for the purpose OF
having Gov. O'Ferrell as one Of the
speakers. He speaks at Mendoza on
25th and will come from there direct
here. The Governor is a candidate
for United States Senator, and this
fact should draw a large crowd.
Daniel, Morrison and Wysor, have
been invited also, and will probably
be present Let everybody go to
work to make it success
Arrangements are being made to

cent Of protection to the laborer goes
through the hands of these manutac,

dial mongers had to say against him.
He has the confidence of all men
whose confidence is worth hill of
beans. General Walkers private
character is all right. He is an hon
orable man in private life, but his
public record is not good. He is too
changeable, and his present attitude
is palpablc to Democrats and
Republicans alike. Had he been
nominated for attorney general when
Rufus A. Ayers was chosen, General
Walker would be a good Democrat
today. Not being able to attain dis
tinction in the ranks Of the Democrats,
General Walker has shown his APP
probation for the old adage "In the
Kingdom of the blind the one-eye5
man is King by joining the Rcpub-
licans. There, where in the South at
least the men of brains are very lin
tied, lie sought, and has acquired at
the outset the leadership. 1t must
be a bitter pill for that sterling Re
publican campaigncr, Col. Slemp
and the Hon. David Bailey to march

vert to their faith 1t must be CALLING,

their hour of need as, Judging the fu-
ture by the past, he will, we may

With such principles as the Re
publicans have, and with such mar
to represent them, we cant sec
what hope they have for success.

Negro Equality.

There is one thing that the negro
must keep firmly impressed upon his
mind, and that is that he must keep
to his own color. The white people
of this section and of every other
section of the South are determined
upon this and will, sec that it is car
ried ont to the letter, and it is right
and proper that they should. The
Posr is no negro hater in the vulgar
acceptatioa of the word 1t takes
but little stock in the argument OF
those who dislike the negro, because
he is black, but it does believe, and
believes firmly that this is a white
mans country, and that the whites
must and shall rule it. That being
our belief VIC are most heartily i'll
favor of furnishing 4 negro brute
every time he outrages a white girl
or has improper relations with her,
with or without her consent. 1t is
disgrace upon our civilization, that
such things should happen, but they
do aud they must be nippcd in the
bad 1t is only one step removed
from the intcrmarriage Of the races,
which is prohibited in the South.
Quite recently there was a very dis
reputable occurance in our town. We
refer to the negro Watson. In this
case. the family and the girl were
but little if any better than the ne
gro, and it might be added as an ex-
tenuating circumstance that they
came from Ohio, and are not as can
readily be imagined natives Of the
South. Thank God we don't have
but few of that class of people
amongst us. But this is no EXTENT
ating circumstance for the negro
Watson. lie should be taught, aud

Browning Gets a SHINING.

Col. "Jecms" Browning Of Poca-
hontas. who has been stumpinS this
end of the state in the interest OF
General Walker, got one OF the
soundest political drubbings at East
Stone Gap last Friday night 1t has
ever been our pleasure to witness.
Mr.. Browning is a coal operator and
tried to convince the people that pro-
tectinc him in his particular calling
was necessary for the prosperity OF
the people at large. Mr.. Browning
spoke at this place in the afternoon
to a small crowd, and in the after
noon he thought himself able to take
on R. A. Ayers and Joe Maynor.
Well he GOT enough Of it before he
got through. Joe Maynor lead off in
a forty minute speech and mace
some strong arguments tol Democra
cy.
Browning replied in an hour, and
then Gen'l. Ayers replied to HIM IN
an hour.
Gen'l. Ayers made one of the best
speeches he ever made. 1t was too
the point, and free from any person
alities. He discussed the issues in a
masterful manner, and made a great
impression-ercn Browning's friends
admitted that he was not in 1t. One
Republican was heard to remark
that Browning was good joker, but
very poor on argument. 1t was a
regular Democratic gala night.
A few more such discussions and
Walker will be showed under to the
tune of 10000 majority for Morrison.

The correspondent Of the Bristol
Ncms at East Stone Gap seems to be

did not mention how badly Browning
got skinned. Wen wager something
