AN EXPLODED THEORY.-Nc theory
in political economy has ever had a
fairer or more complete trial than the
theory of protection in this country,
and none has ever failed more conspic-
uously in it's practical application. For
thirty years the protectionists have
had everything their own way, and the
system has worked out it's natural and
legitimate results. 1t has produced an
aristocracy of millionaires and an army
of tramps. The condition of this coun-
try to day is just what might have been
expected from so called protection.
Wealth is concentrated in the hands
of few favored individuals and cor
porations, and millions of honest citi-
zens find it hard to earn livelihood.
No wonder the people have grown tired
of the robber tariff and demand a
change of policy. The Democratic par
ty pledged to inaugurate new system
should hasten to redeem the pledge and
relieve the people.-Lynchburg Ad-
UG71ce.

A REBUKE TO BOSSIsM. Norfolk, it
seems, has been tolerating boss rule
until forbearance has ceased to be a
virtue, and some weeks ago reform
movement was organized by many
democrats who never before had voted
any other ticket. These formed an al
lance with the prohibition party, and
there was placed in the field a full
municipal ticket. At the election
Thursday this ticket was elected over
the Objectionable democratic ticket by
a sweeping majority, the latter party
losing the mayor, all the salaried Off

thing attempted to be forced on them
by party bosses. There is lesson in
the result of the Norfolk election which
party bosses in Baltimore may study
