they all, without exception, endorse

The Sure Growth Compound for

The Tariff and the Present Business
DEPRESSION,

To hear the GU cry of the Repub
lican partisans over the present
business depression one unfamiliar
with our history for the past thirty
years might suppose that thiscountry
had never known hard times under
high tariff before.
1t would be a great mistake: His
tory is now simply repeating itself.
If ever the experiment of taxing a
nation into prosperity had fair
trial, it was the period following the
war. And yet the panic of 1878 was
the most disastrous and the period
OF business depression for five years
thereafter was the most severe of
any in our history 1t was officially
estimated that at least 3, 900, 900 work
ing men were out of employment.
And yet the tariff was nearly as high
as the Mckinley abomination.
The Republicans were in full control
of the Government.
From 1881 to 1886. under two Re-
publican tariffs, there were labor
strikes involving 22,304 establish
ments and 1,323,203 worllmen. Of
these strikes, 9,439 were for increase
of wages and 4,344 against reductions
of wages.
The Republicans tinkeredn the
tariff in 1883 In that year there
were 9,1S4 business failures, involv-
! ing SIP, S74, 600 In 1884 there were
O.96S failures, involving S; as; a wide
spread business depression with t.
O0O. 600 men out of employment.
In 1890 the Mckinley bill was pass
ed. and there were 10,G73 failurs that
wear. and -, 1874 the next, with liabili-
ties in each year amounting to nearly
5000, 100000.
Tramps and trusts were practically
unknown in this country until after
we had suffered from a monopolists'
tariff for a number of years.
The worst labor troubles, the
bloodiest riots, the most destructive
strikes, the most brutal lockonts
ever known in any country have
occurred in the United States under
the high tariff brought, made and
paid for by the contributors of the
Republicans campaign funds.
The financial and industrial history
of the past thirty years is simply
succession of short spurts of activity,
artificially stimulated, interrupted
by collapse, panics and long periods
of depression and distress. In not
ten wears out of the thirty has labor
in the so called protected industries
been secure in steady employment at
fair wages.
The panic of last summer started
when the average tariff on dutiable
goods was 1888 per cent.-pretty
nearly the highest in our history
and when it was perfectly well known
no change could take effect for nine
months or year to come. 1t was
due chiefly to the unsettlement Of
our currency by the Republican sill
ver-purchase and imitation act. But
the old trouble of a market glutted
with under the enticement of tariff
bounties contributed to the result.
The cry Of the Mckinleyites that
the stagnation and consequent dis
tress are due to a prospect that the
of the people and the !
essentials of manufactures are to be
untaxed, in obedience to mandate
of the voters twice repeated, not
only imputes incapacity to the peo-
pie, but ignores the facts of history
which are known to all intelligent

GOVERNOR o'FERRALL.
Yirginia's Chief Executive Inaugn.
rated Monday.

Richmond, Va, January 2.-The.
Inauguration of Governor Charles L,
O'Ferrall was brilliant occasion,
one to be long remembered. The
visiting military companies were
from Norfolk, Portsmouth, Peters
burg, Lynchburg, Roanoke, Alex
andria. Farmville, Culpepper and
Harrisonburg. The latter company
occupied the post of honor in the
military parade in the morning,
which was viewed by thousands of
people all along the line of march.
Messrs. Buchanan, Stubbs and
Echols, on the part of the Senate,
and Messrs. Fahrney, Saunders,
McRae, Howard and Smith, of the
House, were appointed committee
to inform Governor-elect O'Ferrall
and Lieutenant Governor. elect Kent
of the readiness on the part of the
General Assembly for the oath Of
office to be taken.
The inaugural ceremonies took
place on the southern portico of the
Capitol in the presence of vast as
semblage, who stood on the grounds
of the Capitol's square, and listened
to the inaugural address.
The ceremonies were opened with
prayer by Rev. DIR. Moses D. Hoge.
Gov. Mckinney in few well chosen
words introduced his successor,
Chas. 7. O'Ferrall, who was greeted
with applause by the thousands OF
spectators and military on the
grounds beneath Judge l.. l.. Lewis,
President of the Supreme Court.
delivered the oath of office to the
new Governor.
Governor O'Ferrall made an adj
dress which lasted about thirty
minutes. In referring to the oyster
question he said that the oyster beds
are the property of Virginia anc
, must and shall be protected from the
incursions of citizens of other State:
and held under the law for the eX
; elusive occupancy OF Virginians. II
closing his remarks he paid Il grace
full tribute to Governor Mckinney
and when he had finished cheer af
ter cheer rent the aif and the can
mons on the green sward of the square
! Numbered volley after volley as ;
; salute to the new Governor. Lieu
tenant Governor r. {. Kent also mad
an address.
After the inaugural exercises wer
over Governor O'Ferrall viewed tn

, ecutive Mansion. He will hold
public reception at the Executiv

tinguished visitors who accompanied

revenue TO both the State and those
engaged in the industry. That this
has been the case solely on account
of the undeveloped condition of the
property, growing out of the iinpro
vident methods of some of our citi-
zens, the destructive depredations of
non-residents and the. failure of the
system to promote and protect the
intelligent and profitable investment
of labor and capital in the business;
that while theact of Febuary29, 1892,
is a move in the right direction and
has already had its good effects, they
believe. from the testimony of eX-
perts and from the experience of
other oyster. producing sections of
this and other countries, that the
peculiar nature and exposed condi-
tion of this property demands most
vigorous, well-detined and uniform
system, and that only by such
system can the ratio of expense to
receipts be reduced to minimum
and this great interest he fully deve-
Hoped and protected.
READ FOR INFORMATION.
"These conditions induce the opin-
ion on the part of your committee
that there is urgent need of an ac
tive and immediate educational cam
paign, which shall result in such
general light being thrown upon the
question that universal interest may
be aroused, prejudice and ignorance
removed and prompt, efficient and
wise legislation secured.
'"They, therefore, recommend that
the COZ mercial organization through.
out the State, which should form
their character and objects. and most
sensibly feel the Importance of de
veloping every source of wealth in
the Commonwealth, be requested to
give this question in all its bearings
their early and serious consideration,
to the end that all the eXigencies and
equities of the situation may be
fairly and freely discussed.
THAT they be asked to send
delegates to meeting for conference
in Richmond during the approaching
summer at some time to be agreed
upon, and that representatives OF
the tongmen, dredgers and planters
as well as experts who have given the
subject special investigation anc
study. be invited to address thi:
. meeting"
The communication also included
that part of the Governors message
to the General Assembly relating tC
the oyster industry, which has al
, ready appeared in ENTERPRISE.
