a TEsTIMONIAL TO THE SOUTH.

The Richmond and DanVille rallroad
system. covering great part OF the
South. was the football Of Wall street
speculators until 1t had been plundered
Of every vestige Of lfe. Then the great
financial firm of Drexell, Morgan d CO.
took hold OF Il, pruned off all its fungus
growth. and set it on its feet again
This firm will soon issue n blanket mort
gage on the whole system for $l2o'WoV"'
learing 3 per cent. interest with which
they propose TO take up and pay OF the
present obligations of the system. This
is an immense loan. and the bonds VIII
nrobablv not be issued for six weeks
vet. But the public Is so anxious TO get
them that 81 IL cents in the dollar is
already bid for them
This is a prodigious testimonial to the
growing appreciation of the conserVa-
tism and future prosperity of the South
Her superb demeanor of quiet and self
during the late labor riots has
made a profound impression upon the
minds of men. She has but one draw
back now. and that is the leaning OF
her people towards cheap money CAPT.
talists will not invest their money In
regions where they are threatened with
payment in 80 cent dollars. All that
the South now needs for great and per
manent prosperity is perfectly honest
elections and abandonment Of all con
nection with unsound money, ard Vir-
ginia Will lead in the race.

AN UNSOLICITED TESTIMONIAL

Baltimore, July II, 1884.
Business Manager of Richmond Times,
Richmond. Va:
Dear SUPPOSEDLY you may remember
'n January last visited your office con-
corning the advertising Of the Brown
Chemical Company browns Iron Bitters).
OF which company I am the president.
You may also recollect that at first
would make no arrangement with you
because the agency publications failed to
give your paper any circulation; but upon
came satisfied Of the papers value. While
we have no way OF tracing returns from
the Brown Chemical Company advertising,
we have a system Of watching results
from advertising done for Powells fer
tnjzers. and, while we have no desire TO
reflect on the many good papers In your
State. II may be a pleasure and Of in
terest for you to know, In replies and
results you about double your COMPETE
tors. and, what is singular TO us, is the
thoroughness and completeness with
which you apparently cover the country
districts Of your State. Wishing you con-
tinued success
Yours very truly.
W. S. POWELL.
President.

1T Is ALL WRONG.
W. S. POWELL,
President.

We have asked many Democrats II they
Understood when they voted for Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1892 that they We're voting for the
principle of free raw materials" and
We have not met with one who said that
he did. The invariable answer has beer
that they were voting for tariff reform
which they expected TO be accomphshed
by a uniform and ratable reduction OF
duties that would favor no industries nor
bear unequally upon any.
We have met now, however, with the
first apparent departure from this view
a mass-meetlng of Democrats at Moor
field. Hardy county, w. Va, In the con-
gressional district OF Mr. w. l.. Wilson,
which adopted resolutions which en-
braced the following:
Second. For free sugar and free raw
material, including wool, iron ore and
coal. The country, being solely agricul-
tural and given 10 sheep-raising, a duty
on wool Is reiinquished in behalf OF the
principle OF free raw material and the re-
lief of the masses OF the people.
1t might be argued that Democrats who
now say they are in love with the prin-
ciple of free raw materials" were work.
ing for II in the election Of 1892 BE this
as II may. however. we put this resolu-
ton down solely and entirely to the in
fiuences OF the Hon. w. l.. Wilson. Mr..
Wilson is college professor and doc
trenaire who has welded himself TO the
undemocratic idea Of free raw materials.
and he has won the people of his district
over TO his own erroneous way OF thinking
about IL. Nevertheless, the doctrine is one
of favoritism, and 1t is not. therefore.
Democracy. and never can be until
Democracy comes TO be wholly changed
In It's nature. Democracy means that the
laws shall bear in exactly the same way
upon all men, and this can never be the
case ~ some men are allowed TO bring
their imports into the country free of
taxes while other men are made TO nav
taxes on theirs.
VINO would be benefited by making coal
Tree! IL would be absurd to suppose that
Tree coal would cheaper coal in the
smallest degree TO the people living in the
interior OF the United States. There ts no
coal supply anywhere near the Uni,ed
States except In Nova Scotia. That coal
can compete with American coal along
the Atlantic coast only. and as vva ba,,a
several times shown, IL has n rno,oDo,,.

show that more than one-haif Of New

stabIishments-those which set the pace
