The State convention Of the populist party
met III Lynchburg Friday morning in Nor

order by zen. James u. Field in the absence
of Chairman Ilobson, who was indisposed
Under instructions from the executive COM
mittee General Field presented the name of
Capt. Edmund K. Cooke of Cumberland for
temporary chairman. Capt Cooke on taking
the chair spoke briefly. He said that two
years ago under the teachings Of the noble
order (Farmels' Alliance) which met here ON
Wednesday, the Peoples party raised the ban
ner of reform. 1t any man in Virginia said
that reform was not needed he ought to be in
lunatic asylum. The Captain spoke about
the high motive of the peoples party and an

business.

Prohibition State Convention.

THEY DECIDE ToMAKE NOMINATIONS FOR CON-
GREss IN ALL OF THE TEN DISTRICTS.
The prohibition State convention was call
ed to order in the Opera House in Lynchburg
Thursday morning by State Chairman Gibbs,
| OF Staunton. A permanent organization was
effected by the election of Maj. David Hum
phreys, OF Norfolk as chairman, and 2. A
Ross, OF Staunton, secretary.
MI Gibbs gave an explanation Of the pro-
posed plan OF union between the populists and
| prohibitionists, which was formulated in the
| conference of the two executive committees
at Roanoke, to be submitted to the two con-
ventions.
| "A summary of the contents of this plan is
given in the proceedings Of the populists con-
vention.]
| On motion the following committee was APP
pointed to confer with like committee from
the populists, on the basis Of the plan OF I'M
ion-and the conference committee was also
made the committee on resolutions: Rev
Samuel Small, J. Il. Miller, J. NJ Gambrili,
J. w. Bodley, B. L. Hoge, r. Y. Zachery, j
NJ. Smithdeal, Il. IL. Beasle, W. W. Gibbs and
Col. E. Sykes.
Rev. Mr.. Small was invited to address the
convention while the committee waited ON the
popnlist committee, and he responded in his
forcible way, denouncing the democratic and
republican parties and eulogizing the prohi-
bition party.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Small's address
the conference committee made their report,
announcing that part of the Roanoke basis
of union had been rejected by the populists
conferees, who had submitted counter-prop-
osition. This had been rejected in turn by
the prohibtionists conference. This counter
proposition proposed a reatfirmation Of the
national and state populists platforms MAX
honest elections the dominant issue, but with
out fusion or union, and inviting the cooper
ration of all parties on that issue.
The prohibition committee then submitted
to the convention a platform, which was SUBJ
stantially the same as the basis Of union pro-
posed at the Roanoke conference, except that
prohibition was made the first plank instead
of the second. It was unanimously adopted
On motion Of Mr.. Gibbs, the State execu-
tive committee was instructed to arrange for
calling conventions in all districts as soon as
possible to make nominations for Congress.
The convention then adjourned sine die, sing
ing ''Blest Be the Tie That Binds''
The sixth district convention nominated O.
G. Ruker, of Bedford City, as its candidate
for Congress.

gle penny takensfrom the liabilities, yet there
was an apparent increase of the surplus of
more than fifty million dollars.
The subsidiary silver coin, being legal
tender for sums not exceeding five dollars had
been considered, prior to Mi. Harrison's ad-
ministration, as unavailable for tile payment
of the obligations of tie government, and
therefore had not been counted as an availa-
BILE asset. This was likewise transferred
from the column of unavailable to that of the
available assets, and the surplus again aug
mented without the addition OF farthing
Had this system of stating accounts been in
use at the end Of Mr.. Clevelands term, the
surplus in the Treasury, including the re-
serve, would have been 1S3,096, l5S. What
ever, therefore, of these two funds was ON
hand at the end OF MI. Harrisons administra-
tion should have been deducted from the sur
plus as stated in order to have arrived at the
true balance. The amount of the National
Bank Redemption fdnd on hand March 1st,
1913, was 81, 272, 061 and of fractional silver

A Terrible Death.

COL. j. NJ. WINSTEAD, OF GREENSBORO, N. c
TO THE PAvEMENT-EvERY BONE IN HIS BODY
BROKEN-THE SUICIDE A MYSTERY.
Col. j. NJ. Winstead, one Of the most prom
nent citizens of Greensboro, N. c., and pres
dent Of the Piedmont and Peoples Banks o.
that city, committed suicied in Richmond OF
Thursday by jumping from the tower of TIN
city hall to the pavement below, distance
Of ninety -four feet. His body fell upon al
iron railing, then to the pavement and W. s
horribly mangled, every bone in the body he
ing broken except the skull. Several persons
witnessed the suicide. The unfortunate mar
before making the leap removed his shoes and
threw Them with his cane, to the pavement
They struck the sidewalk about two second:
before the body. This fact precludes the idea
that the fall was an accident. Three notes
and check were found upon the body, the
entire amount of which was little over nine
thousand dollars.
Col. Winstead arrived in Richmond from tht
south, it is believed, Wednesday afternoon anc
registered at Ford's Hotel. He appeared tt
be in good spirits. He ate breakfast at the
hotel this morning and conversed with several
gentlemen at his table. AT SIS he appeared
at the city hall and expressed desire to &c
up into the tower Of the building. The keys
were procured for him and he was given some
instruction as to closing the windows and
doors when he left the tower He showed nc
signs whatever of being excited and proceed
ed to the tower above. The motive for the SUI
icide is mystery.
Col Winstead was native of Person coun-
ty, n g., and was about seventy years of age.
Under the Grant administration his brother,
Col G. S. Winstead was collector of internal
revenue for the Greensboro district and decd
was his deputy. He afterwards engaged in
the banking business, and became president
OF the Piedmont bank and the Peoples bank
of Greensboro, which position he held at the
time of his DEATH, Mr.. Winstead was mar
ried late in life to Mrs Scales, of Greensboro,
a widow lady, who survives him. No chill
dren were born of this marriage, but Mrs,
Scales had by her former husband one son,
MI Henry 2. Scales, now resident of At
lanta and senior partner in the tabacco house
of E. D. Winstead & Co., of Milton, n. e.,
and he is said to have some connection with
the Greensboro Land Company and the North
State Development Company.

COMP4RE THE PRICES.

Let the farmers make a note OF the aver
age Mckinley prices for wool. Now is the
time to do it, Let them also set down the
average Mckinley price for lumber, shin
giles, salt, agricultural implements and
wooden goods. Now is the time, at the end
Of the year they will he enabled to see how
much they have lost in their wool sales, if
anything. At the same time they car
make a comparison of how much they have
gained by the lessened prices Of articles in
which the Mckinley duties have been re-
duced. BY comparing their gains and their
losses they may be able to ind whether OF
not they have proited by tariff changes.
a little home ciphering of this kind is
worth acres of political haranguing and
pamphleteering.

he, "to change one sentence in the platform of

am proud OF my party organization because
it is conservatively sturdy and persistent in
the enforcement of its principles. Therefore
l do not despair of the efforts made by the
House of Representatives to supplement the
bill already passed by further legislation and
to have engrafted upon it such notifications
as will more nearly meet democratic hopes
and aspirations.
cannot be mistaken as to the necessity of
free raw materials as the foundation Of logi-
cal and sensible tariff reform. The extent to
which this is recognized in the legislation al
ready secured is one Of Its encouraging and
redeeming features. but it is vexatious to re-
call that while free coal and iron ore have
been denied us. a recent letter of the Secreta-
~ of the Treasury discloses the fact that both
might have been made free by the annual sur
render of only about 500, 900 of unnecessary
revenue.
am sure that there is a common habit of
Understanding the Importance OF free raw
materials in tariff csislation, and OF regard
ing them as only related 20 concessions to be
made to our manufactul ers. The truth is
their influence is so far-Eeaching that if dis
regarded complete and benifcent scheme of
tariff reform cannot be successfully inaugu-
rated.
When we give to our manufacturers free
raw materials we unshackle American enter
prises and engenuity. and these will open the
doors of foreign markets to the reception of
our wares and give opportunity for the con-
tinuous and remuneratiye employment of
American labor
With materials cheapened by their freedom
from tariff charges, the cost OF their product
must be correspondingly cheapened There
upon justice and fairness to the consumer
would demand that the manufacturers be
obliged to submit to such readiustment and
modification Of the tariff upon their finished
goods as would secure to the people the bene-
fit Of the reduced cost Of their manufacture
and shield the consumer against the exaction
of inoldnate profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw materials
and just and fearless regulation and reduc-
ton of the tariff to meet the changed condi.
tons would carry to every humble home in
the land the blessings OF increased comfort
and cheaper living.
Aho MiAlioiis VI ouf countrymen who have
fought braycly and we'll for tariff reform
should be exhorted to continue the struggle
boldly challenging to open warfare and con
stantly guarding against treachery and half
heartedness in their camp
Tariff reforms will not be settled until it is
honestly and fairly settled in the inter est and
to the benefit OF a patient and long suffering
people. Yours, very truly.

FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 81. 1894.

STILL F,AITHFUL TO TARIFF RE-
FORM.
When Mr.. Cleveland allowed the tariff
bill to become law by limitation, OF with
out his signature, last Monday night, he
did precisely as we thought he would do.
With consistency and honesty, of which
he remains a surviving political embodi-
ment, he could not have acted otherwise
Under all the circumstances, it was of
and thus give to it the stamp of his ap-
proval. If he approves a measure passed
by Congress, says the Constitution. he
shall sign it. Now Cleveland did not ap-
prove the German rice bill. He disap-
proved of it most heartily in his letter to
Chairman Wilson and has repeated his dis
approval in q more recent letter to Con-
gresham Catchings. The bill which was
forced upon the House by a treacherous
Senatorial quartette, was by no means
what the people wanted, or what they had
a right to expect. but it was the best terms
that could be wrung from the trusts and
their Senatorial cOadjutors. The measure
WAS not therefore the mighty stride to
tariff reform that the Democrats had
promised, but it was a step in the
right direction. ard ole that will lead to
others along the same line. There are pro-
visions in the bill that are not in line with
honest tariff reform, and many inconsist-
encies, but with all these imperfections it
pfc n oViStipr
conditions. It will be found to tighten
many tariff burdens. and will furnish a
barrier, Mr.. Cleveland thinks, against the
return OF ''mad protection" a vantage
ground from which further aggressive ope-
ration IS against monopoly may be waged.
But while conceding this much, MI. Cleve-
land steadfastiy refused to accept the Cor
man Brice bill as a satisfactory settlement
or to forgive the offenders OIL condone the
offense by which it was thrust upon the
country.
II take my place." he says, with the
rank and file Of the democratic party, who
believe in tariff reform and who know
what it is; who refuse to accept the results
embodied in this bill as the close Of the
war; who are not blinded to the fact that
the livery Of democratic tariff reform has
been stolen and worn in the service of re-
publican protection. and who have marked
the places where the deadly blight Of treas
on has blasted the counsels Of the brave i'll
their hour Of night
Tariff reform will not be settled until
it lis honestly and fairly settled i'll the inter
ests of a patient and long suffering people. ri
Thus we see the great reform leader is not
one whit shaken by this temporary check,
but will hold the ground thus gained for
further aggressive movements. In refus
ing to sign the bill Mr.. Cleveland seeks to
eyade no responsibility nor on the other
hand is he willing to cut loose from his
party by a veto of the best relief measure
it could secure, but allow the bill to become
operative by executive suffrance. He felt
justified in neither accepting OF rejecting
the compromise, preferring an unaltered
stand for honest and unconditional reform
and with that war cry the hosts Of Demo
cracy will sweep Oh with renewed ardor to
the final consummation Of their great lead
Ell S purposes
