Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1894-04-07
Entered at the Postoffice at Accomac
G. H.. Va, as second-class matter.

President Cleveland. as was eX-
pected, has vetoed the Bland bill
providing for the coinage of the sill
yer seignorage-about fifty millions
of dollars-now in the Treasury In
submitting the veto, he reviews the
financial conditions and says that
recovery, being so we'll under way,
nothing. should be done to check
convalescence, gives as his main OBJ
jections to the bills its unfortunate
construction, nearly every sentence,
in his opinion, inviting controversy
of construction and that it will not
maintain the parity of the two met
ais, says the present perpleXities and
embarrassment of the Secretary of
the Treasury ought not TO be aug
mented by devolving upon him the
execution of law uncertain and
confused, that the scheme proposed
by second section of the bill is i'll adj
vised and dangerous, the ultimate
result of which would be TO replace
legal tender treasury notes by silver
certificates which are not legal tend
er and closes by urging the desirable
ity of granting to the Secretary of
the Treasury better power than now
exists TO issue bonds to protect gold
reserve. His action in the matter is
in accord with the views of the bank
ers, brokers and monopoliSts of the
country and of course approved by
them, but the people Of the country
generally and the farmers of tue
South and West especially do not
approve the veto and il seems TO have
been matter of little concern TO the
President, that they through their
representatives had spoken to that
effect. Mr.. Cleveland's opinion of the
masses seem to have undergone
change AS candidate, he had un-
bounded faith in the good Judgment
and justice of the people, as Presi-
dent, their views in public matters
seem to have little weight with him.

The Tariff Debate.

In his speech opening the tariff de
bate Monday Senator Voorhees,, af-
ter adverting to the difficulty of
Graduating at once all the iniquities
of a protective tariff system fastened
upon the country for thirty years.
stated that the revenue the bill will
produce, incl lding its notifications
of internal taxation and the new in
come tax, is estimated at $3.50, 7SS.7 66,
or some 500, 2S9, 245 more than the es-
timated expenses of the government.
The income tax, TO be paid by some
$1,000 individuals and corporations,
will Weld, it is thought, about $50
000. 600: the tax on playing cards,
IS. 600. 900: the additional tax on
spirits. $40, 100000 The tariff proper
is estimated TO produce $1G3, SCI GOO.
These items of revenue, with the
$3.50, 600, GOO now obtained from inter
nal taxes and $20,000.00 from miscel-
laneous sources, make up the ,tSfal
named. Its amount is such as to
produce proha6Ie Surplus after all
the provisions of the bill shall have
become effective. 1t was thought to
be better to provide for small eX-
cess of revenue than to risk the in
convenience of deficit.
Senator Voorhees, confesses the
faulty character o. the bill since it
has been rent and mangled by GER
tain protectionists who claim to be
democrats. Concessions he says,
''are apparent which have been un-
willingly made in order to secure its
passage: articles on the free list as
thew came from the house have been
made dutiable under the duress of
small majority here. Yet, deeply as
| regret the necessity for these
changes, do not hesitate to say that
the bill, taken as Il whole as il now
stands, with its combination Of lower
taxes on the necessaries of life and
at the same time increased revenues
for the government, will be hailed as
a substantial measure OF reform and
relief by the great producing masses
of the American people" The Sena
tors loyalty to the partv's platform
is beyond question. Unlike some
other Democrats, he has not yielded
to supposed self-interest or
to the clamors of the monopo-
lists of his state. He has adhered to
principle and deserves the thanks of
the people Still, in order to make
his record consistent, he must contin-
ne the fight for reform and endeavor
to cut out of the bill some OF the
''protection' his colleagues have put
into it.-Baltimore Sun.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The month
ly crop bulletin issued by the wealth
er bureau, says that unusually warm
weather prevailed during the first
three weeks OF the month, during
which occurred the highest tempera-
ture recorded in March since the es-
tablishment of the weather bureau
over Il large area in the Southern and
Middle Atlantic States.
This warm period was followed by
the most decided cold wave of the
month, which carried the line of
freezing weather southwark to the
gulf coast and caused frostS which
proved injurious to fruits and vege-
tation over the agricultural districts
of the central valleys and Eastern
States The last decade of March,
1894, was characterized by the most
remarkable temperature extremes
occurring in March that have been
recorded since the establishment OF
the weather bureau.
Within six DAYS over Il large por
ton of the country east of the Rocky
mountains both the highest and low
est temperature yet observed during
March were reported. Concerning
these remarkable periods of high and
low temperatures special bulletins
were issued by the weather bureau.
Special efforts made to determine the
extent of damage resulting from these
frostS and freezing weather show
that not much damage has been done
in New England, New York State
and Pennsylvania.
In New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Georgia most early fruits and vege-
tables are greatly damaged, and in
the more Southern States entirely
killed.
In Florida the crops were only
slightly injured, no BARN being done

On Friday afternoon, of last week,
the South Carolina State constables,
whose duty it is to enforce the dis
pensary law, giving the State Il
monopoly of the business of selling
liquor, came in conflict at Darlington
with citizens who objected to the
search of private houses for liquors
kept in violation of the Lave. Two Ct
the constables and three citizens
were killed. Further trouble was
expected not only at Darlington, but
at other points in the State, but so
far nothing has occurred of serious
character, Further bloodshed how
ever is apprehended if Tillman' 5
constable again resort to the high
handed proceedings employed by
them in enforcing the dispensary
law at Darlington. The responsible
ity for the killing of these men is
placed for the most part by the Press
of the country upon Tillman. the
Governor of the State. The shoot
ing was due, they say, to the bitter
feelings created by him, as dema
gogue and tyrant, between the citi.
zens OF the State.

SUDDEN DEATH!
The Community Shocked.

" Last evening, just after tea, while Mr..
Thomas Hartman, prominent and highly
respected citizen, apparently in the best Of
health and spirits, was reading newspaper,
the sheet suddenly fell TO the floor; he
placed one hand over his heart, gasped, and
sank back in his chair, evidently uncon-
scious. The family were stricken with con-
sternation, and Immediately summoned
physician. But il was too late. The old
gentleman was dead. Physicians gave heart
disease as the cause" --HoLbrOok Herald.
Every day the papers contain statements
similar to the above. Even youth is no de-
tense against heart disease, and the awful
rapidity with which it is claiming victims
forces upon all conviction of its prevalence.
Reader, if you have symptom Of this
dread disease do not hesitate moment in
attending to it. Delay is always dangerous,
and in heart disease too often fatal. Some
symptoms of heart disease are shortness of
breath, fluttefing, or palpitation, pain or
tenderness in left side, shoulder, or arm, ir-
regular pulse, smothering, weak or hungry
spells, fainting spells, dropsy, etc.
