vi pOhliSdl StnlCS. L nat Is, that
though the Southern Democrats
believe protection to be wrong,
in fact dishonest, that, if the
country is to have a protective
tariff, the Southern Democrats
should so vote as to receive a
share of the loot. The News
Leader says:
Senator Daniel is exactly
right in his position on the tariff.
and he expresses the judgment
and feeling of the vast majority
OF Nlrginians, Democrats and Re
Publicans. The protective tariff
system is wrong and bad, but
while 1t is forced upon US and we
are compelled to pay its penal
ties we ought to demand our
share of its profits.
The defense made in support
OF Senator Daniel by the Lynch
burg News is upon a similar line.
We hardly think Senator Daniel
will be pleased with such a de-
Tense. If he is, he will not have
expressed 1.-The Judgment and
feeling OF the vast majority of
Virginians, both Democrats and
Republicans" 1t is too much
like saying that if a number of
honest men live in a community
which borders on another COM
munity In which the majority are
orlgands or pirates, that the hon.
est men in the first community
should unite with the brigands or
pirates of the other community
that they may secure a part of
the loot.
But why all this Pother about
Senator Daniel being a protec-
zionist? This is no new declara-
ton on his part. Have the Dem
ocratic papers in Virginia forgot
ten that the Senator two wears
ago announced himself for pro-
lection? In an interview given
out about the Ist of June, 1907,
Senator Daniel outlined a plat
form which he suggested for the
Democratic party in the cam
Paign of 1908. And here was his
plank on the tariff:
"a judicious revision of the
tariff, not wrecking, not doc
trlnalre revision, would best meet
the fair public sentiment on the
= subject and the conditions that
t are to be dealt with. People will
exact that they shall not be dis
Paraged for the benefit of foreign
ers abroad or monopolists al
home. We should not develor
! other countries at the expense Of
this country, pay other laborers
at the expense of our laborers OF
fatten distant consumers at the
expense of our consumers.
In discussing this pronounce
ment of Senator Daniel the
Tazewell Republican on June 9th,
1907, closed its editorial thereon
with the following paragraph:
eff Senator Daniel intends tc
stand for such doctrines as these.
he, and those Democrats who
agree with him, will be more al
home In a National convention
dominated by Theodore Roose-
welt than they will be in one con-
, trolled by William Jennings
Bryan"
We are not surprised at the
position Senator Daniel is now
taking on protection. 1t is en-.
tirely consistent with his posi-.
ton announced in 1907; and the
Richmond News Leader and the
Lynchburg News are doing him
great injustice in imputing tc
him a sordid motive for his pres
ent attitude.

Daniel a PrOteCtiOnist.

II want to protect American
interests. That is my policy. 1
don't care what name you call it,
am for it.
With these startling words
Senator John w. Daniel, of Vir
ginia, began a speech in the
United States Senate on the 7rst
inst. IN support of a high protec-
tive duty on quebracho, which
IS a bark extract similar to an
extract made from chestnut wood
and used in tanning leather. Of
the twenty-three factories in this
country making the chestnut ex-
tract nine are located in Virginia.
Senator Daniel declared that a
great trust with headquarters in
London and Berlin would drive
the American manufacturers out
OF business if a low duty was
placed upon the foreign product
In this contention Senator Dan
iel was supported by Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina.
The position of the Senior
Senator from Virginia on the
chestnut bark industry, follow
ing so soon after his vote for a
protective duty on iron ore, has
greatly shocked the Democratic
low tariff press in the State.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch,
the Richmond Journal, the Nor.
folk Virginian-Pilot, the Newport
News Daily Press, and other pa.
Pers, consider it a complete
abandonment Of the tariff declar.
atoms of the Denver platform
and surrender to the Republi.
can party on the doctrine of pro.
lection.
The Virginian-Pilot few day.
ago severely criticised the Dem
ocrats in Congress who voted
with the ultra-Protectionists or
certain tariff schedules. Our
Norfolk contemporary ridiculec
the idea that these Democrat.
can clear themselves of infidelity
to their party by voting against
the Payne-Aldrich bill when il
comes up for final passage.
The Newport News Daily
Times says there is but one way
IN which the Democracy can free
itself from the stain which these
"recreant representatives" have
placed upon it, and: That is
to retire at the primaries every
so-called Democrat who has
proved false to his trust and
nominate new men who may be
depended upon to vote as Demo
Gratis in spite of the blandish-
ments of special interests and
the seductive persuasion of the
Republican boss"
Will the Democratic press in
Virginia have the courage to ad-
vocate the suggestion of the
Newport News Daily Press?
This will not only mean the de-
mand for the retirement of Sen
ator Daniel, who will be a candi-
date for reelection at the COM
ing Democratic primary, but the
retirement of five of the present
Democratic Congressman, viz:
Carter Glass, E. w. Saunders.
F. r, Lassiter, John Lamb and
Harry L. Maynard.
But there are certain of the
Democratic papers that are try
ing to discount the disgust which
the papers before referred to have
been exhibiting because of the
record of the Senators and Con-
gressmen from Virginia. Among
the apologists for the "recreant
representatives" the most con-
spicuous are the Lynchburg News
aud the Richmond News Leader.
