I
not the trusts
The Times Dispatch states Mr.. Stu
art s position to be Stuart believes in
n thorough revision OF the tariff so that
the revenues of the country from this
source shall be sufficient only for the
support Of the government of the coun-
try economically administered.
presume that the Times-Dispatch
means to convey the impression that
Mr.. Stuart's motive in levying a duty
on imports would only be to get sufi-
cient revenue for the support of the
government economically administered
Ii this be correct, then Mr.. Stuart in
the Gate City speech subscribed to the
Republican doctrine Of protection, while
the Times-Dispatch's statement of Mr.
Stusrt's position enunciates the Demo
cratic doctrine Of tariff for revenue
only.
One of three things must be true:
LIST. Either DIR, Stuart's speech st
Gate City which. so far as am advised
has not been disclaimed by Mr.. Stuart.
"NS fNAN iuNOIAoCtiY.
End. Or Mr.. Stuart has changed his
position on the tariff question since his
opening speech.
Srd. Or the Times Dispatch mis-
states Mr.. StuSrt's portion.
In view of this position, before max
ing structures upon me, a. an homes
newspaper it is up to the Times-D
patch to give its authority for Mr..
Stusrt's change of front.
II Mr.. Stuart would discI.im the DO
sition attributed to him in his opening
speech and subscribe to the position
given him by the Times Dispatch, as
one believing in q tariff for revenue
| only, l not only would vote for him
were l in the Ninth district, but would
do anything l could to assist in getting
him elected; but 1 have no federation
for so-called Democrats who preach
Republican doctrine and would greatly
prefer seeing an avswsd Republican
elected than to see Democratic prinei-
pies deserted and the party destroyed
by electing people who are Democratic
only in name.
Let the public have your authority
for statement of Mr.. Stuart's position.
Respectfully,
A. F. THOMAS.
In our issue of May 9Th we had occa-
sion to say that soma Of Mr.. Stuart's
intimate friends feared the fulsome
fisttery Of the out-of-the district peo-
pie who have been trying to conduct his
campaign might be making a loud noise
to hide the sharpening of a "snicka-
snee."
For the benefit of Senator Thomas
aud others who have not caught on we
will explain how it was done:
Henry C. Stuart wants to be the
Democratic candidate for Governor of
Virginia. The gang in charge of the
party in this State are bound that
neither he nor any other man in the
~N"~ SS snail NC anu JueT0IOTo forced
him to run for Congress in the Ninth.
If beaten well and good, for this would
block his nomination, but should he by
fiuke be elected how then to stop his
nomination for Governor?
One thing you can say for the ms
chine in charge Of Virginia's Democracy
they are skrewd and know their man
They said to him: "You are running in
district rich in coal, iron and timber
and with many and varied industries.
1t will not do to talk free trade to them
30 you must cone out for protection"
Vacillating as usual and accepting
their sophistry for reason Stuart listen
ed and followed their advice. In 1913
their party platform will declare for
free trade and Nr. Stuart will be barred
from the nomination for Governor even
should he win this fall.
Verify the ''snickasnee" vas well
sharpened.
