Staunton spectator and vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1896-1916, 1898-12-01
Farm Produce and Protection,

Protection is claimed to benefit the
farmer as well as the manufacturer.
We are told by Republican orators in
Congress and on the stump, that it
makes home market and makes farm
products in demand. Well, the manu-
facturers in this country have not only
supplied the wants of our own people,
in the year just closing, but have ship
ed many millions Of their products to
foreign markets. That is considered
by protectionists an ideal result and
confirmatOry of the benefits of the sys-
TEN. In the Dingley tariff they have
'protected' the American farmer from
competition, by putting tariff tax on
foreign farm products, wheat, corn, oats
and so On. So the farmer is at last in a
position in which 'protection'' has done
its best for him. What that best is, the
farmer knows today by the price Of his
wheat, corn, oats, cotton, and every
thing he makes on his farm. With
wheat at 66 cents, corn at 30 cents, cot
ton at ) cent?, how are those who work
the land going to live? This is what a
Protection home market' OH d gold
basis, has done for the American farm
er, and it is something for him to think
about when he goes to vote. The fairest
chance Protection has ever had has
failed to give him more than half price
for his crops. Protection of the Ameri-
can farmer against foreign wheat is
something like protecting Newcastle
against coal.

Mr.. mCKinley's Committee.

We have had occasion before to speak
Of the way Mr.. McKinley's so-called
investigating" committee worried wit
nesses. Their examination of witnesses
is just about that INDUCED in in the
courts by attorneys for the defence,
trying to worry and confuse witnesses
for the prosecution. They treat philan-
thropic women who volunteered to
nurse sick soldiers, just as they do the
others. In New York, on Monday, they
had before them Miss Chadwick, pa
triotic woman who volunteered to Nurse
the sick at Camp Wikoff. She testi-
fed that seven-tenths of the men fur
ioughed from the hospitals there were
too sick to move. and she had heard the
men complain of being sent away. Here
is specimen Of her examination:
did you hear men say they we're
sent away against their Will" asked eX-
Governor Woodbury..
Il heard men say 1t is a shame to
send me away sick as l am"
"But you did net hear them say they
were sent away"
mo, but surely that statement meant
the same thing"
The next witness was DR.. VIM. G..
Thompson, of the Presbyterian Hos
pital, in New \ Ork city, which took in
many i'll soldiers who had been sent out
of the WikoT hospitals while i'll. The
doctor, who had seen the way Miss
Chadwick was treated by the commit
tee, said
Il wish to say that | have not come
here to make criticisms in general. |
merely came to tell you about the 80
cases of typhoid fever which came under
my Oh eryation i'll TIE Presbyterian hos
pitai In my opinion they should not
have been allowed to travel OH rail
road 100 miles, scattering infection at
every stop. | can give you the names
of those 80. BONE OF he men picked up
in the streets Of this city and taken to
the Presbyterian hospital were in the
third week OF Uphold fever. One was
covered with b9d sores, ancther died
within two hours OF his admission and
another within q hours"
1t begins to appear that the private
soldiers who complained 50 bitterly of
the doctors in the hospitals were not the
"chronic grumblers'' that has been al
legged, and that hey were right in say
ing that 1T was too much whisky
among the doctors, or rank cruelty, they
could not tell which," And yet Sur
geon-General berg SAYS everything
was lovely, and Mr.. McKinley's COM
mittee, to judge by their examination of
witnesses, will make the same kind of
report later on.

Destruction of Our Highland Trade.

In our issue of Friday a letter from
"a Highlander" calls attention to our
I less of trade from Highland county. He
calls attention to the fact that a few
years ago many Highland farmers came
to Staunton with their wagons, bring
ing their wares, and trading and carry
ing back goods. He himself was in the
habit Of coming, he says. Now few
make the trip. Our correspondent lays
this at the door of the street car He
| may be partially right, but we are not
exactly inclined to agree with him. We
think the cause dates further back, and
The farmer found that he had to own a
wagon fit to carry a good load. He had
to keep cover for his wagon. 1t took
him practically one week to make the
trip, and he must use the good reads il
possible, and consequently was from
home in the best weather and when he
could have done SO much if he had been
at home; he had to camp out, pay tolls
and otherwise the trip became expen-
sive. He got home with his team look
ing badly, sore shouldered and lame,
and occasionally broke down OR lost a
horse. He found but little profit,
though possibly he enjoyed the outing.
Later merchants ia Highland be gan to
rise to the situation. They found that
by doing the hauling with team regu-
larry in the business wagon which
Carried something like theanount hauled
in a freight car with a systematic han
ding Of the produce of the country he
could supply tAe wants of the people of
FL ighland cheaper than the people could
do it themselves, so such enterprising
m archants began to bring to the doors
of the Highland people the goods they
formerly came to StauntOn to buy, and
thus the people began gradually to stop
their trips and now they trade with
Highland merchants instead Of with
Staunton merchants. The street cars
are not the cause Of this dropping off so
much as our friend thinks. The High
land merchant has done it. The people
buy at home.
