A BIG Rush. FOR

Especial to Tho Times D.spatch)
IRVINGTON, VA, Sept. D.-The nat
ural oyster rocks have been thrown open
to the public. .and hundreds OF tongers
are already at work on them in spite
OF the stormy weather. Tho scene on.
the public rocks at the opening was was
we'll worth e trip out on the river : 70
see. Hundreds OF white winged boats
OF various descriptions were there buslly
engaged In longing the btyalres.
The opening OF the oyster season Is
not as nuspicious an occasion now as
1t has been In years gone by. While
many hundreds OF people still make their
living by oystering. yet the business mas
been greatly reduced, owing to the de-
pletion OF the rocks.
Some OF the vessels engaged In tong
ing remain on the grounds night and
day, and sell thoir oysters TO packers
who send out buyers among the fleet
Others. however, plant their catches on
private beds and wait for the season
and prices to advance.
1T is reported that there are n great
quantity OF oysters in the Rappnhan-
mock this year, more than for number
OF years but the bivulves are very poor,
but It is\ thought that they Will fatten
lin later on in the season and measure
up to the standard
Several new shocking houses Will be
opened up in the vicinity OF 1rvington
and Weems this season. but as yet not
shucking house has opened on the

left he may apply to the forty women Of
Chicago who embroidered the sacred

Dowie), clad in his n,agniflcently en-
broidered garments, proclaimed himself
the first apostle OF mis- church before
1000 followers. THE Chicago Tribune
says:
"Dr. Dowie wore a long garment OF
heavy white satin, lined with white SIX.
Over this was purple satin robe, frlnged

No Discharge.

It would be subversye Of our State
rights and dangerous to our free insti-
tutions to have national troops charged
with the duty Of preserving local order
and enforcing State laws. It would also
add largely to our national debt and In
crease the chance Of international COM
pllcations, besides giving enormous power
to the central government Of the United
States IL America were obliged to keep
under arms a body of men in any way
numerically comparable to the reserves
now furnished by the militia Of the sew
cral States. And yet these results Will
Inevitably follow any reduction in the
high standard among State troops. Our
present standard In Virginia is very
high. but It cannot be maintained with
out proper pay for the soldiers or service
and public appreciation Of the neces-
sary and important duties performed BY
the militia. The manoeuvers at Manas-
sas demonstrated that tho Virginia mill
tia were not make-believe soldiers, and
that the Sencampment WAS not holiday
junlet. The men who took part IN those
manoeuvers underwent real hardshlps and
did real military service for their state
and country Such men should be encour-
aged and not disheartened or prevented
from serving their State by being dis
charged from their positions for having
done their civic duty 1t is narrow,
selfish and short-sighted policy that
throws any obstacles In the way of the
militia which at the last protects the
property. laws and lives Of our citizens.

duty of s17564. 694 was collected, averaging
81 per cent on the foreign cost OF the
goods. When Transportation Is added,
the cost OF the imported woolehs equals
fully $500, 900. This, added to the homo
product makes the total wooden consuinp-
ton Of America $s5e0oo.oo at factory
prices But when the other costs OF
manufacturing are added, the American
public paid at least $3.50, ooo, 900, or an aver
age Of ss4e4 per family, which Is far
below Mr.. Edward Atkinstn's estimate.
In the same year, 1908. we imported
s21 ,25s,o31 OF raw wool and paid tax
OF s11,es1o4s. Hence tho total duties col-
lected on wool and woolcns was $40. ,73s,
or h.72 per family.
goods are imported, and as the tariff
cost Of these goods Is, at retail. about $3.50
per family, 1t Is reasonable to assume that
the tariff cost Of tho ten times rs many
domestic woolens is, at retail, $40 per
family. In the table the total tariff cost
Is estimated Mt sll per family, Of which
sl.72 went to the government.
It Is allvery we'll to talk about Ameri-
can workman and the needs OF Ameri-
can manufactures, but the workman Is
Liable to do some hard thinking between
this and November 9Th, and It will be
difficult to explain to him why he should
pay the wooden trusts $n year in ex-
cess values in order that the govern
ment may get s1.72 for its expenses. And
when the Republican orators and editors
undertake to explain that without the
tariff the American workman would be
out Of a job, he may we'll stop to con-
slider whether that Is not Just as dlslt't
genuous as the rest Of the arguments
that have been advanced.

The Family and the Tariff.

II tho Democratic campaign hand book
does not do anything else, it Will give
a clear and Intelligent statement OF how
the taxes, which are taken from the peo-
pie Indirectly, hut none the less efficiently,
by the tariff, are divided between the
fairfield industries and the government
Two examples of striking interest are
given in the analysis Of the tax on shoes
and on woolens. The Dingley bill OF 1897
added tax OF over 100000 annually
on the American people by putting a Is
per cent, tariff on hides. This has added
not less than from S per cent. to per
cent. TO The cost of each pair of shoes.
The Democratic textbook analyses this
statement and shows that the annual shoe
bin OF the America people Is some $751;
10000 Five per cent. TO 5 per cent, Of
this sum is from slS,tO0,OpD to- $50 600, O0o

this tax the government receives only

and other trusts. who keep their dividends
for, themselves and add nothing and do
nothing towards reducing tho cost of ex-
isience or adding to the comforts OF life
for the public at large. who pay the
annual tribute extorted By the tariff
An equally striking illustration Is seen
in The tax on woolens. The total value
