FITz. LEE ON pHE STUMP.

We have heard it stated on reliable
authority that General Fitz Lee will
probably take the stump in Virginia in
the present congressional campaign.
We hope this is so. The people love
10 look into his open, manly face and
hear his frank and hearty voice. When
he goes before them and tells them, as
he will. TO turn their backs on new
tangled theories and stick to the old
time Democratic doctrine of equal laws
and opportunities for all, and special
privileges for none. the people viii listen
TO him as they listen to an Cd and
trusted friend. General Lee is great
power in this State If he was Thin
bie-rieged out of his place i'm the Sen
ate, to which the people wanted 10 send
him. and the old Commonwealth has a
right TO have word or two from him
I'm the present strife. He is dearer L
their hearts to-day than ne ever was at
any other period of his life
Turning over the pages OF the war record
n few days back our eye fell on the
following passage In General j. r.. Il,
Stuart's report OF the operations OF the
cavalry corps In the Gettysburg cam
paign:
Il desire 10 mention among the brig
adier-generals one whose enlarged com
prehensons OF the functions of cavalry,

probation and faithful performance of

one OF the first cavalry leaders on the
continent. and richly entitle him to pro-
motion. | aiude TO Brigadier-General

The man who at that period OF the
war when many OF it's sternest trials
had been passed through. could extort |
from Jeb Stuart such words as these has
in him the stun Of which real men |
are made. We don't wonder that the |

A LESSON IN FREE RAW MA
TERIALS."

Free raw materials" is already begin
ming TO be heard from. The new tariff
bill placed wool upon the free list, in
pursuance OF the doctrine Of free raw
materials" and the wool growers have
already made the response which every
one ought TO have known at the begin
ming they would make. At the annual
wool Growers Convention, Just held at
Columbus. Ohio. an address to the peo-
pie of the United States was adopted.
with only one dissenting voice. which
states that the threat of free wool has
reduced the value OF our 4j,OOO,Oo0 sheep
nearly S7O,OOO,OOO. and reduced the price
OF the wool clip Of 1894 more than
SsO.OOO0O below the normal under ade-
quate protection" This. it adds, is,
with cheap foreign wool and protec-
ton duties on manufactures, to limit
manufacturing TO eastern cities and New
England States"
While this statement of losses is prob
ably much exaggerated, it should be re-
membered that this convention was one
composed OF Democrats and Republi
cans We would be perfectly Indifferent
to the complaints of these wool growers
IL the losses they complain Of resulted
from a fair and equal reduction OF the
tariff that left all importations taxed
at the same rate. In our opinion, taxes
should be reduced, without regard to the
injury caused special interests, to the
point that will raise no more than the
revenue necessary for the government
when economically administered, and
such taxes as are imposed should be
laid upon all imports at the same rate.
II the present tariff bill had done that.
we would have closed our ears 20 all
such complaints as that made by .he
wool growers.
But we recognize the justice OF the
claim they make under present circum-
stances. They have a right TO complain
that Congress has forced them to com
pete with the wool of the whole world
while II has given the New England
manufacturer protection on the goods
that he manufactures out Of their WOOL
greatly reduced in price by the competi-
ton that has been forced on them. 1t
has left them TO scuilie for living as
they best may, and has given 10 the New
England manufacturer every unfair ad-
vantage that legislation for favortes
can secure.
Here is the first result developed by
the small dose Of free raw materials
that our doctrinaire statesmen succeeded
in giving the country. If they have
their way and are allowed TO administer
all the physic of that sort that they
would like to. we predict n retching from
the patient that will require the calling
in OF another doctor.
