HARK FRoM THE rOMRs:

The Bristol News reports Judge Rhea
as having said in a recent speech that
he pleaded guilty to the charge of being
a calamity bowler and would continue TO
howl as long as the gold standard re-
manned.
There are many others OF the same
sort. 1t matters not how much gold
there Is. II matters not how the country
may prosper. there are those who have
determined 90 defeat the gold standard
81 they can and 10 open the minis of the
country 10 the free coinage OF silver
whether or not. The only way TO make
the people vote for free silver is to make
them believe that tho country cannot
be prosperous without II. In short the
free silver cause cannot be promoted
except by bowling calamity. and so. as
Judge Rhea says, the calamity howl Will
be kept UP until the minis are opened
% both metals.
And thus It comes 10 pass that many
OF the free silver people find themselves
In most embarrassing position Many
OF Them want 10 talk prosperity and 10
ses prosperity under the gold standard,
but they are afraid TO admit that pros
perity Is or Is possible except under the
free coinage OF silver for every such ad-
mission IS damaging to the cause.
We are sorry. however, that Judge
Rhea has thus committed himself to the
calamity habit. lie ia a sensible man. he
IS a progressive man, ne has done much
20 promote the material welfare Of Hle
Southwest; he has been first among the
foremost In hurraring for Bristol and in
helping 10 build up new industries there;
he has been one OF the most enthusiast
Gle In advertising the resources OF that
section OF Virginia. and he has been
chief among the optimists. II Is too bad,
therefore. that he should forsake tbs
ranks Of the progressive and enterprising
and joia hands with the calamity folks.

SUNDAY. SEPTEMBER IL. 1873.


DO the people Of the United States bear
In mind that in order to make prepara-
,,ons for the war with Spain. Congress
added very greatly to their taxes and
that although the war is practically over
they SIN pay the increased taxes ana
will continue 20 pay them until Congress
repeals theme A gentleman told us day
or so back that he had just executed
written instrument, upon which hc had TO
nlacs seventeen dollars Of stamps. SIX
months ago ne could have executed ms
.paper without paying one cent but no"
ne has this grieyous burden imposed upon
him.
And Congress will never repeal these
taxes unless the people rouse themselves
ana demand their repeal. NO politician
was ever yet known TO move in the ol-
rection OF reducing revenue unless ms
constituents drove him TO it. because
the more revenue the more swag there
Is for his henchmen. and that is what
he wants. No politician ever yet COM
menced such move and no politician
ever will. The move for repeating the
war taxes must come from the people.
There is no reason why our taxes should
not be brought, as soon as peace IS
made back 10 what they were a year
ago. The volunteer army should DO dis
banded at once, whereupon all OF our IN
creased taxation should come 90 an end.
We suppose there would be such
unanimous demand for this that we
should have a repeal Of all the war taxes
by the next session OF Congress, If 1t
were not for the membranes we have
assumed through taking possession OF the
Spanish colonies. OF course, If we are
going into the colonizing business it will
cost us money, and we must prepare our
selves for governing under taxation for
long time to come. But If we bring that
business TO a close, We can at once Top
or the war taxes.
Let us only adhere to our traditions
and abandon all idea of adding territory
20 our dominions, already too large, and
we shall soon be back where we were be-
fore the Spanish war, and it viii be in
Anitely better for all parties when We are.

Editor Of The Times;
gir-The Young men OF the Chamber
OF Commerce seem 20 be alive 70 the I'M
rortauce of securing trade and enterprises
for the city. and l write 70 suggest that
they take up the question ana make
special EFFORT az organizing hty thou-
sand dollar warehouse company Tor tne
sale OF loose and hOsshead tobacco. IL
they win investigate the matter lhol-
ouehly 1 believe it will be shown that ~
cam be made a paying business and yield
o. GOOD per cent. on the investments. The
use OF this amount OF capital would in-
sure the success OF the enterprise. and
if we could have q market where farm
ers and traders would come. and where
millions would be paid out as in some
other places What other enterprises that
we could hope for would employ so much
labor the year round and bring such
volume OF trade % Richmond? The sue
cess OF this enterprise would help the
warehouses already here. would add life
to the hogshead market as well as most
every other interest Ia the city.
Now this is not new idea, but has
long been a special subject with the
''Tobacconist," our trade paper. II was
brought up a few years aso by some OF
tho leading and most successful business

sons al the time, the matter was lad

into. believe It would be now just as
fruitful subject for attention and IN
vesugation on tho part OF our business

Richmond has large contract orders
for tobacco. Suppose it was all sold and

it be worth to the city? Tobacco 6rows

some Of the benefits OF supplying this

ful consideration and investigation on the
part OF the young business men Of the

An intelligent correspondent Of the
Charleston News and Courier has been
giving the planters of his state some
very good advice about the production OF
cotton. "The cry should not be plant
less cotton" says he. out plant more
of food crops, diversity and produce
every ching necessary at home, ana let
cotton be a surplus crop" And he
adds:
Live al home. abolish the lien law, sell
something from the farm at all seasons
Of the year, instead Of at one season.

Now 1 know the argument Of many IS

The all-cotton crop got them in debt.
and they would pursue the same course
TO set out
If / fan in the ditch ] must stay in
the ditch to get out. instead Of seeking
some other way. Such argument viii
never do. and such course viii never
relieve the farmer or better his condl-
ton. Some say It is "under consump-
ton" farmers don't buy clothes, etc.
because they are too poor
Why don't the farmers buy more
clothes. etc, and thus increase the con-
sumption and demand? Why II is sim
ply because they spend all Of the money
received from the farm 10 buy flour, ba-
con, corn hay, mules and such things
that ought to be produced on the farm.
But how are we 20 induce the farmers
to undertake this difficult system Of man
agement? You can't try pledges or ar
| guments that will not be kept, II must
| be done by persuasion and example, ad-
dresses. lectures and talk in season and
| out OF season.
The low price of cotton has greatly
aided IN bringing the farmer 20 true
| sense Of his condition. and has been In
my Judgment a blessing In disguise, ana
| IL the price of cotton was to SO up 10
or cents now IL would be great
| calamity In the long run TO the farm

This is good advice not only TO cotton
planters. but 10 farmers Of every class.
| Tho farmer is producer, and It should
| be his first concern 10 produce, as Tar
as possible, everything that he consumes

election that farmer can buy his sup
plies cheaper than he can produce them
| on his own farm. because the supplies
which he purchases are produced on
somebody else's farm. and he pays not
only first cost Of production but two or
three profits and the cost Of transporta-
| ton added
This it seems to us is a proposition so
| plain and logical that 1t must carry con-
viction to the mind Of every farmer who
studies It.

to these things which cost the city man
so dearly.
