RICHMOND AROUSED

From all that we can learn the bust
ness men Of Richmond are now thorough
ly aroused to the importance of doing
something to increase our trade relations
with the outside world, and the excursion
idea is popular. We are glad to see that
the Chamber Of Commerce has taken hold
of this matter and will push it along and
II all classes OF business men will cordi-
ally cooperate. there will be substantial
results.
If we can get outside merchants TO
come TO Richmond SO that they can be-
come acquainted with the merchants Of
this city. and thoroughly understand the
advantages which Richmond offers. we
can secure their trade.
IL We can get people generally from
Virginia and North Carolina. and even
from some of the States farther South to
come here once or twice a year to do
their shopping. the habit will grow upon
them, and every such customer becomes
a living advertisement for the Richmond
market.
those Of the cities farther North. and for
variety. style and prices. they cannot be
surpassed.
But II will require work. hard work and
intelligent work TO accomplish this. and
we must not only offer cheap rates over
the roads. but we must see to it that
when the excursionists come they are
well cared for and that they have cheap
rates at the hotels and boarding houses.
and it would be greatly to our advantage
81 some sort of entertainment could be
provided whenever the eXcursionists come.
In short, we should make Richmond just
as attractive as possible to visitors. so
that trip to the city will be entertain
ing and enjoyable as well as profitable.
The possibilities in this direction are
magnificent. and If we do not convert
them into realities 1t will be our own
fault. Let us be up and doing. Let us
stop crying hard times. and let us go
manfully To work and make the most
OF our opportunities There is nothing
to be said against the individual industry
and enterprise OF the business men of
Richmond. All that they need is to COM
blne their efforts for the common good
and success Will surely crown them.

In cotton mills
Again. our Petersburg contemporary
saws that mo one who has studied the
subject of protection even casually will be
guilty OF the folly OF supposing that under
normal and legitimate conditions the duty
could be added to the price of the home
article. for obviously that would defeat
protection itself. and give the imported
article access 20 our market on equal
terms as to prices"
But that II can be done under some con-
ditions the Index-Appeal frankly ad-
mitted the other day when 1t said;
"The suggestion TO impose a duty on all
goods imported after a certain date prior
TO the passage Of the Dingley bill may
have the flavor Of retroactive legislation'
but IT also has the quality OF retaiiatory
justice. For 1t is morally certain that IN
the absence Of such a law the owners oil
these goods will add the tariff rate to the
selling price, and thus extort from the
public a tribute which enriches them only
and leaves the Treasury as poor as ever.
The Hon. John G.. Carlisle, who has
given the subject some study, is also oil
that opinion. and in his recent speech be-
fore the Kentucky convention, SAID:
II prices are increased by the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, 1t Is Simply
because the money in which the prices
are paid is not worth as much as the
money previously in 'use, ana Wheh
prices are increased By tariffs 1t IS not
because the commodities are really worth
more than they were before. but simply
because the purchaser is compelled by
law to contribute to the seller a certain
sum in excess iof the real value OF the
article.
But the Index-Appeal insists on 1t that
the wicked persons who have taken this
advantage Of abnormal conditions are
"faklrs" Not so. if the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York Sun is TO
be believed. We quote:
