The starting of tie iron furnace at Buena
Vista, the opening of its wooden mills, and
the prospect of resumption of work at the
glass plant, must be "tidings of good
news" for the people of that little city. If
ever pluck, grit, and town loyalty, faith
and trust, in the face of despair, were wor-
thy of reward, the people of the beautiful,
mountain-girdled Buena Vista are deserv-
ing of it.-Roanoke Times.
And if ever the people of any town
ought to be profoundly thankful it should
be the people of Buena Vista for return
to protective tariff. That is what has
opened the industries of "the beautiful
Fmountain-girdled" city, and not the glit
which was overcome by the despair that
followed the low tariff policy Of the Dem
ocracy. Everywhere in the South, and in
all sections of the Union, idle industries
have been resuming work since the Ding
ley bill became law. Still the Bryanites
continue to direct the attention of the
people to other supposed causes for the
prosperity and activity that now prevail in
connection with the manufacturing and ag-
ricultural industries of the country. None
are so blind as those who refuse to see.

THAT DEFICIENCY.

The Democratic press seems to be very
iubilant over the prospective revenue de-
felt under the first six months of the
Dingley bill. They lose sight of the fact
that under the Wilson bill there was q
great deficit, and that it was constantly in
creasing until the repeal Of that law. They
are also oblivious to the fact, while they
claim that the deficit under the Dingley
bill is $40, 100000, that the wages of at
least one million of men have been adj
vanced since the new tariff law went into
effect; that the workingmen of the country
have received in increased wages during
the past year more than twice the amount
of $4,000, 1000; and that the employers
have been benefited equally. All classes
of industries, the chief among them that
of agriculture, have prospered in like pro-
portion. There mas been no dehciencyin
the earnings of labor and agriculture, while
under the low tariff policy of the Demo
cratic party there was an enormous deficit
in all classes of industries, and labor was
brought to helpless condition. In other
words, under Democratic tariff we had
not only revenue deficit but there was a
fearful want of employment for labor and
destruction to agricultural and manufac-
turing industries.
Prosperity has come under the Dingley
law for labor, manufacturers, farmers and
all classes of our people, and any deficit in
the revenue can be rectifed by the in
creased revenue that Congress will surely
provide.

THE PRESIDENTS BEREAVEMENT.

On Saturday afternoon, short time al
ter President Mckinley had left his mother
at Canton, Ohio, on his return journey to
Washington, "Mother" Mckinley was
stricken the second time with paralysis,
and in short time it was announced that
she was dead.
The sympathy of the American people,
without regard to party affiliations, class
or condition will be extended the Presi-
dent in this time of great sorrow. The
close devotion that existed between mother
and son has been SO marked as to attract
the admiration of all who have respect fol
the tender love that binds together parent
and child. In all his splendid triumphs he
has never forgotten the devoted mother
who gave him birth, and she was always
ready and anxious to quietly enjoy with
him the great distinction which he wor
from his constituents, the Ameri
can people. The loss of such mother il
a sore affection, and the example Of such
a son is worth of imitation.

GOVERNOR o,EERRALL,s MESSAGE

The message sent in by Governor O'Fer-
rail- to the General Assembly of Virginia is
too lengthy for publication. He makes a
number of important suggestions to the
Legislature. The reduction of the expen-
ses of the State government is urged, and
the utilization of the oyster beds ne rec
ommends shall be made source of Reve-
nue., setting forth his views as to how that
can be done. He is very emphatic in his
advocacy of honest elections, and recon-
mends that our election laws beso amended
as to provide for the emblem ballot, and
that the form of the ballot shall be pub
lished in the newspapers and posted at ev-
cry polling place on the day of every cleo
ton. His suggestions on the ballot are
good, too good to meet with the approval
of Democratic Legislature, we fear.

THE RIGHT TO CHANGE.

We frequently hear persons criticising
other men for changing their political con-
victions and party associations. 1t is no in
frequent thing to hear harsh things said
about those whose views are not what they
formerly were. The right to change is a
personal one, and if exercised judiciously
and from honest conviction is to be COM
mended. If man has been holding to
certain political principles and becomes
convinced they are wrong, it is his duty
to change. Any other course would be
dishonest and cowardly. His conduct
should be influenced by honest convictions
and not policy. Of course, if one changes
his position from policy and not principle
his act is not only unworthy but mean. AS
to the motive which causes man to
change his own conscience must be left
to determine. You can constantly hear
some one saying: "Why Mr.. so and go was
at one time Democrat and is now Re-
publican, or Mr.. few years ago
was Republican and now he is Demo
crat or Populist." Suppose this is true,
who has the privilege to challenge the mo-
tive or question the right of these men to
break away from one party and align them
selves with another?
If there was no change in the sentiments
of citizens on political questions there
would be no progress or improvement in
governmental policies. Our national and
State affairs would be managed and con-
trolled indefinitely by that class of men
who are Democrats or Republicans because
they were born and raised Democrats or
Republicans, and for that narrow reason
proclaim their intention of dying in the
same political faith. In the discussion of
political questions and the views held by
public men the reasonable and just method
would be to ask whatare the opinions held,
at the time, by those who wish to act as
z &ty leaders. Public men should be
measured by their present and not their
past political convictions, and private citi-
zeus should bepermitted to change their
views without being subjected to the cruel
thatis toe frequently INDUCED in

Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1897-12-09

There may be strong sentiment in the
ranks of the Democratic party Of Virginia
in favor of honest elections, butNthe pres
ent Legislature is not likely to amend the
election laws so as to secure an honest bal
lot and fair count. The special correspond
ent of the Lynchburg News in cores
pondence sent from Richmond on the 4th
inst. wrote as follows of the Legislative
proceedings;
"Thes~far the only election bill intro
duced has been that of the Populist Sena-
tor Hale from Franklin. He wants law
which will permit the illiterate elector to
select one of the election judges to prepare
his ballot for him; which would mean, of
course, that the negro would be told to
call on the Republican for such aid. Mr..
Hale seems to be satisfied with less than
Governor O'Ferrall. The Senator is quite
an agreeable gentleman. His demands in
the way of election reforms are far more
moderate than Governor O'Ferrall's. 1t
is hardly probable that the recommends
tons of either of these gentlemen will
have much weight with the Democratic
caucus when that body comes to consider
the important question of changing law
which has given the party the largest rep
resentation in the Legislature it ever had,
and elected by forty thousand governor
who is now so dissatisfied with the opera
tons of the present plan"
So speaks the correspondent of the
Lyachburg News, the organ of Senator
Daniel, the strongest advocate of Bryan
Democracy in Virginia. The opinion OF
this correspondent is approvingly pub
lished in the News, there being no
comment of disapproval. We find
in this correspondence frank admission
Nthat the present election law has given the
Democratic party 'the largest representa-
ton in the Legislature it ever had" 1t is
bold, defiant admission that this major.
ity has not come from an honest expires.
sion of the electors of the State, but has
been secured by the operations of a Law
that was formed for the purpose of com
uniting frauds and has been used fully il
that direction. 1t shows most conclusively
the trend of the Democratic party on cleo
tions. When the charge was first made
that the Parker law was enacted to keeT
the Democracy in power and would bt
used systematically in the preparation O.
frauds on the ballot-box, the Democrats in
dignantIy denied the charge. Later they
admitted that frauds in certain localities
were practiced. Then they began to jus
tlfy frauds in the negro sections. Nov
they boldly admit the power of the Demo
cratic party in the State results from anc
is to be continued by the permanency of
thing they call law, but is too vile to g
by that name.
No they will not change it, except tt
make it more infamous. They have thu
people in chains and will try to forge TIT
links stronger.

Like Pingree of Michigan this
man Wanamaker states cold, cruel
facts, and facts are something with
which the average gold standard
editor has no intimate acquaint-
ence at this particular time.
Inasmuch as the 6. O. p. papers
refuse to quote Mr.. Wanamaker'
words, THE UNION herewith pro-
duces them. In an address to the
Business Mems League of Phila-
delphia some ten days ago, stall
wart republican though he is, John
Wanamaker used these words:
"The country is not prosperous. Since the
outset of the last presidential campaign the
party press and political leaders fixed the No.
vember election of 1896 as the date for the
beginning of good times. A full half year
has expired since the will of the republican
party was declared. Thus far but one OF the
important issues Of the campaign is nearing
settlement, and hardly any noticeable i'm
provement of the wretched times is manifest.
The tide will soon set IN strongly against
the republican party unless this depression Of
business is altered. Idleness and want breed
a bitter discomfort which will never be over

foes America has to fear are not the sullen.
savage Turks or the nsurrectionists of Cuba,
or the territory -grasping British, but they are
our own patient and heart-tired people, who,
BETRAYED AMI DISHEARTENED, NO LONGER
HAVE FAITH IN THEIR PARTY, and will turn
to any leadership that will offer better times,
1t is a terrible thing to observe public senti-
ment adrift and unexplained and the people
sweeping away from their affection for the old
party"
Had a populist democrat uttered
such a warning he would have
been an "~anarchist' or a "calamity
howler,' but coming as it does
from such a man as Wanamaker-
we'll, the republican papers don't
care to discuss the matter.
Evidently Mr.. Wanamaker does
not have much "confdence" in
that "wave of prosperity" nor can
he possess that conhding faith in
the theory that "the silver craze is
dying out" He does not believe
in trying 20 cover up and hide the
real situation, and it would be vel
for the republican party if it con.

ker variety.
The gold standard is the produce:
of the want, idleness and discon

republican refers, and 1t is the off

not 4 pCpuhSt when reelected and could not
have been reelected as such. Mr.. Pettigrew
in tact obtained his Office under false p~retens-
es. There was some talk that he would re-
sign and seek reelection IRON the pops, but
the willy pickerel was too smooth for that.
Heis too shrewd a man to take unnecessary
chances. Had he resigned he would now be
a plain citizen.-Rapid City Republican.
So the Associated Press is now
classifying Senator Pettigrew as a
populist. Horrible! But granting
that he is, we might add that sew
eral thousand other former repuh-
licans in South Dakota are today
populists. Indeed Mr.. Pettigrew
was not a populist when last elect
ed to the United States senate, al
though ne may or may not be one
now, but what about the prlnci-
plies set forth in the republican
platform on which he was reflect
ed? Does the Republican mans
memory fail him SO soon? At that
time Mr.. Pettigrew and the repub-
lican party of South Dakota stood
upon a platform declaring in favor
of equal treatment Of both gold
and silver in the minis of the coun-
try. The republican party won its
victory on that platform, Mr.. Pet
stood on that platform and the
present editor of the Republican
protested to support that platform
at that time. MIR. Pettigrew fol-
lowed those principles and he
stands by them today. The editor
of the Rapid City Republican does
not, and there you have the differ
ence.
There was never any talk about
Mr.. Pettigrew resigning except by
the disgruntled republicans who
wished him to do so. In this case
the wish was was father of the ex-
pressed word. He had nothing to
resign for and he knew it., hence
he still retains an honored seat in
the national senate. So the Re-
publican's belated wall about Mr.,
Pettlgrew gaining his office under
'sfalse pretenses" is the %silliest rot.
That paper knows better, even
though it lacks the honesty to ad.
nit it.
TO sum up the whole matter,
MIR. P%ettigrew is supposed to rep.
resent the people of his state and
carry out the principles of his par.
ty SO far as he is able. He went
to the United States senate on (
tree coinage platform and he i
