zens Of the Northern Neck IS the famous

likely that the defence will introduce
other witnesses.

not regard It as sufficient ground Tor
postponement of marriage.
DIAGNOSIS IMPOSSIBLE.
Or. L. G. Mitchell. OF Downings, this
county. was the next witness for the
plaintiff. Dr. Mitchell testified that he
did not think a diagnosis could have
been made upon the symptoms as detail
cd by Mr.. Sanders physician. though Dr.
Treacle. Mr.. Sanders physician, had
made a partial examination as would
have enabled him 10 ascertain what was
the matter with Mr.. Sanders. and that
he could not say himself what was the
matter with him.

symptoms described by Mr.. Sanders ply

THEY PROVE TOO MUCH.

The protectionists are pointing in
spirit OF great glee 10 the large increase
In our export trade. and are declaring
that II completely upsets the theory OF
their opponents that a high protective
tarin tends 10 discourage foreigners from
purchasing our ware
This argues nothing except that we
have Increased our export trade in spite
Of protection, for the most enthusiastic
protectionists cannot fairly claim that our
rolicy OF exclusion helps TO cultivate
friendly trade relations with outsiders.
else why this continual talk on the part
~ the Republicans about reciprocity
The game Of commerce is game Of give
and take.
But in trying to score this point against
free trade. protectionists arc scoring "a
point against their own pet doctrine. They
have claimed all along that a high tariff
was necessary in order to protect Ameri-
can industries and American working
men against the industries of Europe
which they claim are operated by pau
per labor" But it has been proven, and
the protectionists even boast of 1t, that
we are now able to compete at their
own doors with the factories of Europe,
regardless of the pauper labor agains
which the tsrin IS designed TO protect
as. What then. we ask in all sincerity
IS the need of protection? If we can
compete with foreign factories abroad,
surely we can compete with them at
home, and by the confession of the pro-
tectionists the time has come when our
tariff may be adjusted 10 the revenue
basis. There is absolutely no need for a
protective tariff. a tariff for revenue Is
all that we can want. Our Infant indus
tries" are now great giants Of strength
and II there is nation on earth that
Is interested in the freest possible trade
between the peoples Of the earth. that is
Interested in cultivating friendly rela-
tons with outsiders. that nation IS the
United States.

necessarily attracting the attention OF

that still others will be built and we be-
lieve that numerous industries that use

We have been making war on the calam-
fly shouters. not for any political purpose,
but TO promote the welfare Of that great
section OF Virginia.
In the same connection we note an ar
ticle from the Pulaski News-Review,
which is also a valuable instri mentally
in the development OF the Solthw est. in
when IT Is urged that the people OF th1t
town should organize a Board o. Trade
or a Board Of Public Welfare, which
should look into the matter Of local gov
eminent and seek to interest outside
world in Pulaski as point Of Investment.
our contemporary says that the oppor-
tunities offered at Pulaski to capital need

Opportunity after opportunity, II says

have been directed towards Pulaski, but
