A dispatch from Washington represents
that information has been sent to the
Postoffice Department from Norfolk that
Mr. Walter Sharpe. one Il the applicants
for the appointment Of postmaster at
Norfolk. has at some time been exceed
ingly strong in course and fross Vltu-
peration of President Cleveland and that
Mr. Sharpe is now called upon 10 give
some explanation OF this before his
claims 10 appointment can be considered.
We most earnestly hope that no such
demand has been made upon Mr.. Sharpe.
and. in saying this We are 10 no extent
taking his side in the contest for the
Norfolk postofiice.
IL is not any part Of the plan OF our
government that officers of the United
States are to be appointed or refused APP
pointments accordingly as their opinions
OF the President are complimentary or
otherwise. A man may think very badly
OF the President and yet he may be the
very man best qualified for a particular
Office and the very man the public in
tcrests require 10 be in that office. In
such a case. the President should totally
ignore this individuals uncomplimentary
opinion of himself and appoint him 10
the Office with as much readiness as II
ne thought the President the wisest. best
and greatest man i'm the country.
1t Is almost humiliating TO think that
Mr. Cleveland Will allow Mr.. Shapes
opinion OF him as a man 10 affect the
question. whether he shall or shall not be
postmaster at Norfolk. and yet we should
not he surprised II the circumstance lie
actually allowed TO be a controlling one.
The weakness of Mr.. Clcveland's adj
minstration has been his tendency TO
look upon the government as his own
personal affair. His present unpopularity
has grown more out of that than any
thing else. and 1t viii leave traces upon
the page OF history. which will perma-
nontly tarnish the really brilliant and
noble services that he has rendered TO

PROTECTION ABSURDITIEs.

The absurdty OF the talk of the Nc
Kinley tariff law being a Chinese wall
to keep out foreign trade Is demonstrated
by the official figures which give the eN-
ports and imports. During the first three
years of Harrisons administration the
imports were greater by the sum or $2uS,-
263 55S than they wee during the nrst three
years OF Cleveland's administration,
while during the same time in Harrison
administration the exports were $221, Z45'hl
greater than the corresponding time In
Cleveland's administration. That is 10
say. our total foreign trade under Harri-
son was S43S. 5O7. 26s greater than under
Cleveland. IL any Chinese wall. or any
other obstruction 10 foreign trade was
made II was done in the Democratic ana
not I'm the Republican administration
Iiarrisonburg Spirit of the Valley.
The Spirit OF the Valley is an intelligent
newspaper. and Is in favor OF high protec-
ton. We are surprised, therefore, that
our contemporary, for whose opinion we
have great respect. should have employed
these figures by way OF illustration. The
one fact which they impress more than
all else is the absurdity OF the claim OF
protectionists that low tariff would flood
this country with foreign manufactures.
Under the Wilson tariff. as the Spirit OF
the Valley points out. the imports were
far less than under the Mckinley 'arif,
and better than all, our exports under the
low tariff largely increased. 1t Is concur
sivelv shown. therefore. that the Demo-
cratic idea il right. namely-that the low
tariff gives the people cheaper goods ana,
so far from interfering with American
Industries. gives them the whole world
for q market. and enables them not only
90 supply the home demand in competition
with foreign manufacturers, but also TO
sell their goods in all the markets in the
world.
Now then II high tariff does not prevent
the importation of foreign goods, as our
Harrisonburg. contemporary claims. what,
pray. is the object of high tariff. and
why do American manufacturers want II?
Clearly. that they may raise the prices
70 American consumers OF their product.
1t is evident. therefore. that the effect
OF protection is TO give the manufacturers
more profit. and TO make the people of
America pay q. higher price for their sup
plies than they are now paying. That be-
ing the case. can any man longer doubt
that protection is Tor the beneht OF the
few at the expense Of the many?
