Jerry Simpsons Hit for the
Wilson Bill.

[From Washington letter in Philadelphia
Record, jan IS ]
Congressman Jerry Simpson certainly won
honors in the Tariff debate to-day, and when
he took his seat at the end of an hours speech
he was greeted with such applause as had not
been accorded any speaker who preceded him,
since the debate. He contributed dramatic
incident when he exhibited thin, faded,
shoddy overcoat as specimen Of what pro-
lection had done for the American farmer
The House laughed as he ripped open the
bundle containing it, and the Democrats
cheered so vigorously that members came
running in from the cloak room as he waved
it i'll the air, shook it at the Republicans and
shouted "This is what your protection does
for the American farmer. got this off the
back of farmer. who told me that he got up
at midnight to drive % miles into Washing
ton to market his products. The rotten shod-
dy He only wore it a year after paying
$40. 80 for it. A million farmers in the Uni
ted States wear no better coats With that,
seizing the coat by the tail, it fell to pieces in
his hands as he became wrought up with in
dignaton, and as he flung it contemptuously
in the chair beside him the Republicans, who
had been bothering him with questions were
discounted and the Democrats we're delighted
Mr.. Simpson said that, while there were
many provisions in the Wilson bill that did
not meet with his approval, he should, mas
much as it was robber tariff at least 20 per
cent. lower than the Mckinley bill, have to
support it. Protection is for robbery, and
is robbery" was MI. Simpsons text for the
statement that GA, 800 employers of the
9o5,ooo paupers in our pauper houses, called
protected industries collected in 1880 over
$500, 900, 600, under pretense that it was to pay
the difference in wages, and the total amount
received by their workers was under $500, 900
600. The employers had absolute pauper la.
Dor, and robbed the paupers OF over half the
public money contributed to their support

determination of Deer.
[Letter in the Clifton Forge Review

Letter in the Clifton Forge Reyiew.1
The deer in the mountainous section Of Vir-
ginia are becoming very scarce and their num-
beers are being rapidly diminished every year
If some steps are not taken to arrest this work
of determination, five years hence there will
be acns left 10 tell the tale. The writer has
become we'll acquainted wiih 1iie mountains
of Allegheny, Bath and Highland counties,
and for the last ten years has hunted deer in
them. and consequently has become we'll i'll
formed as to the rapidity with which they
have disappeared, Where five years ago deer
were not only to be found but plentiful, to-
day not a deer nor track is to be seen. In
fact, they have disappeared altogether from
the smaller mountains, and but few remain
hid away in tue rGoesges Of the highest and
most inaccessible points.

THE ''HONIE MAKET" OF VIRGINIA MINES
from the Ivanhoe Advocate.

[From the Ivanhoe Advocate
We have some doubt as to whether the prin-
ciples advocated in letter to the Wytheylle
Enterprise of Dec. IS, would measure up to
the righteous maxim for which we have
fought so long special privileges to none'-
but we have always known its author to be a
Democrat. So whilst we like him we can't
endorse his conclusions.
In his explanation of the reason for the az
ticle Free iron won't hurt he lays himself
open to attack. He says thata foreign impor-
ter voiced and clothed that sentiment with the
deceitful garb of self-interest Now, know
ing, that he is an attorney for the N. & W. r.
K. Co., have not we perfect right to say
that his facle pen only traced out an artful
plea for an increase of tonnage upon his eli
ent's trains? His article suggests a. few que
ries and remarks that we hope will meet our
readers appreciation. Do large manufacture
ing and railroad corporations Improve" our
country for gain CT for glory? Do they de-
serve special immunities because they can
eminent domain? Were not freight rates re-
duced whilst the Kent Railroad Bill was be-
ing agitated and have they not Increased since
that measure was killed? Has not pig iron
(charcoaD been made in Wythe for less than
80 per ton? Is it ignorance to know that and
also to know that Pennsylvania cannot do so?
Is it not true under an increase of tariff that
Cripple Greek ircn in ten years has dropped
in price from 500 TO $50 per ton ana nine-tenths
OF her furnaces closed? Where are Virginia's
Bessemer ores, If she has such? Don't the
$500 laborers pay extortionate prices for the
goods and receive min imum wages from the
mining companies generally? Is it not woful
ignorance to say we raise an oYer production
of crops when Cripple Creek buys flour from
st. Paul, Mimi, corn from st. Louis, Mo,
lard and bacon from Chicago, ILL.,. and hay
from Louisville, Ky? Does tariff for revenue
mean revenue for Uncle sam Or more gilt
with which to Gid such men as Gould2
Which is the best antidote for deficit, q tax
upon the rich mans wealth OF a tax upon the
poor mans want? Is it not better that so, 900
people carry a small burden than that G5 900,
900 be over-burdenetl? In conclusion, since
much of the Wilson Bill is an Gntried steed
which side Of our queries better represents
true Democracy

80
In your is':F.a ct January 9Th, you re-publish
from tic lsicnnlond Times OF the 5ll, a list OF
thirteen Virginia furnaces which have signed
a paper protesting against putting iron ores
on the free list.
Suppose we consider the condition of thest
thirteen furnaces after an experience OF three
years under the Mckinley bill. l give the
list of protesting furnaces as printed as
follow:
The Lowmoor Iron Company, The Long
dale Iron Company, Pulaski Iron Company
Grocer Iron Company, THE VIRGINIA NAH
AND IRON WORKS, GRAHAM FURNACE Com
PANY, SHENANDOAH FURNACE Co., BRISTOL
IRON AND Steel. Co., LYNCHBURG IRON Co.
SALEM FURNACE Co., BUENA VISTA Iron
Co, MAX MEADOWS FURNACE Co., RADFoRI
CRANE IRON Co.
Please let your readers know that out OF
the thirteen protesting furnaces named above
MN E OF them are out of blast, and have been
idle for more than half Of the time since the
Mckinley bill became a law. The last named
nine, III capitals, have gone under, not from
Free Ores or Democratic ltuls OF laws, but
under Republican Protection, May be the
managers Of these NINE smokeless furnaces
are now singing the old. old tune, "Let Well
E1loasgh Alone,' but the stockholders and poor
laborers-who have been idle for some years
would, no doubt, rather have change, and
are eXclaiming, ':If this be Protection to the
American workman, give us changer
may be noticed that at tie head of the list
of NINE stands the name of our prosperous
VIRGINIA NAIL AND IRON WORKS COMPANY.
This should be a surprise to our citizens, as
none of us supposed there was vitality enough
left to this prosperous home industry to en-
able it to sign its own name; and we also find
a little lower down on the list, its twin-sister,
(anotijer Child OF protection) the Iynchburg
Iron Company
Why, am told by travellers on the Concord
turnpike, that this valuable plant is so
CHILLED from the effects OF the Mckinley
medicine, that they are obliged to put on
overcoats and blankets, even in summer,
while passing its silent stacks.
-Four more years Of McKlnleyism, continued
by the votes of qaas5 Democrats, will no doubt
keep the country in its present very prosper
Gus condition. Yours truly,

[From the Buchanan Banner, JAN 13th.l
There is 10 telling who will be nominated
and if times don't change and the Democratic
party don't redeem some Of their many pied

not be worth having. At any rate the people
would rather have Mr.. Tucker than Mr.
Flood, and III case we do not get either, Bot

sight
Their Hours Are Few.

Fort Smith, Ark, Oct. 25.-An day
long the marshaps office has been ex-
pecting a telegram from their deputies
in regard to fight with the Cook gang
About $50 deputies have been ordered
to Gibson by United States Marshal
Crump to participate in the chase after
the bandits. Gibson is the place Cook
has heretofore made his headquarters.
There is little doubt, however. that his
gang has scattered. learning of the
coming Of the deputies and Indian po-
lice.
Indian Agent Wisdom had the Indian
police join in the search along with the
deputies. Troops would be useless in
the territory except. perhaps, cavalry.
The Cooks have to be tracked and the
country is filled with many of their
friends, ready to give the alarm.
The chief of the Cherokee nation has
offered reward OF $500 for Bill Cook.

a Few nights since, saying that Jim
Cook, the young brother of Bill Cook.
had made his escape from the Cherokee
guards, is a mistake. -Four guards have
MIN In charge. They got scared the
other night, and fearing the Cooks
would suddenly close on them, they
changed his guaGdhouse and gave ont

or a few hours until the last is heard

is imminent
