'.At no time were our public schools.

He said the well deserved tribute paid
to Virginia and Virginians by the Pres

BILE by wise, safe and economic l'1in autl1it-

before had tho party had more reason or
right to expect the continued confidence

for their Inconsistency and division on
the tariff question, and said the old lead

The tariff question was about the only ss3
national one discussed py the speaAet,l4
and he dwelt upon this only long enough Il

the Inconsistency of the Republicans with Eg
reference to It. He took up some OF Mr.,
shaw's references to the subject. and In y
ans wering them showed that the Repuh-
llcan Idea Of protection meant, among Z
other things, that machinery manufactured
here could be purchased cheaper IN South
Africa than where It was made.
On State Issues
Passing from the tariff, Major Daniel
said: Federal politics are not involved
In this election, but if4I wero ever so Y
much IN favor OF the Republican party
In national politics. would still vote
the Democratic ticket In virginia. for
the Republicans have shown Themselves
much moro capable of Misunderstanding the
ma tional government than the affairs OF e
this Stnte.
II assert that In thirty-hve years OF i
our history there has been placed on our
statute books no measure In the Interest
Of the people which originated from
Republican, although there have frer$
quently been Republicans In the Less-I
0lature. HI,
Senator Daniel eloauently pictured ho3Ts6
