4 As we have said before, we believe this
.bnoxioue feature of the Richmond plan
sas inconsiderately adopted. We feel
nre that If the subject had been fully
discussed in the public prints and in the

BE- raised in Richmond. We ought not to

lost of electing Richmonds delegation.
rhe idea is radically wrong. All other
,lties bear the cost OF electing their own
selegations to the Roanoke convention
and why should not we bear the cost of
tlectlng ours?
i Our CITY Democratic Committee ought
% meet at once and devise some other
method of raising the required amount of
money. 4 primary we must have, of
course. Ward meetings would not satisfy
BAR people and. therefore. are not to be
thought Of; but the money for the pri-
mary should and can be raised in Rich
nond. There ought to be no assessing OF
candidates. Instead OF that. let the City
romnlittee send out a committee Of three
,r five Of its most prominent and influen
iaI members to solicit contributions from
pir people.

Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1897-08-11

We are approaching a great crisis in
the tariff question, as indicated bv the
growing demand for discriminating
duties on imports and on tonnage. and
by the bill of Senator Elkins. While
have always been willing to accept any
step toward the restoration of our
merchant marine 10 its position in the
old days, | have long believed that the
modus opcrandi employed by the
founders of the present union. and rep
resenting the best experience of the
nation, is the only sufficient modus by
which to restore our lost prestige on
the ocean-to recuperatc our shipping,
navigation and commercial interests
on the blue sea. But il will bring
back and intensity the old contest
which was at the foundation of our
revolutionary struggle
When Col. Henry Laurcus left Eng
land i'm the year l75I. he mad previously
waited on the earl Of Hillsborough. in
order TO converse with him on Amcri-
can affairs In the course of CONVEX
sation Col. Laurens said the duty of
threepcncc a pound on tea and all
other taxes were not worth the ex-
pcnse of war. you mistake the cause
of the controversy" said his lordshiD.
You spread too much canvas upon the
ocean. DO YOU think we will let YOU
20 on with your navigation and your
10000 scamen?" The attempt to re-
vive our prominence in the carrying
trade OF the world will revive that old
issue with England, for she has very
abiding faith in the truth of the ancient
Ceredo advance. [volume] (Ceredo, W. Va.) 1885-1939, 1897-08-11
