When Grover Cleveland refused
to aign the Wilson tariff bill after
It had been butchered in the senate
until It boro little resemblance to
th* original draft, and carried with
It but little fulfillment of the prom
toe* made by the party in its plat
form and in Bpechea, he character
ised It as a work of “party perfidy
aim dishonor " When the Aldrich
tariff bill finally passes both
houses of congr«*ss and goes to the
President, will he refuse to sign It
for the same reason? In a recent
•l*»ech he warned his party that
unilees its promises were fulfilled
the people would arise and relegate
It to thu minority once more. For
shameful extravagance, humble sub
servience to the “Interests" and
broken promises, it deserves rebuke.
The Parkersburg Sentinel well says:
Thu Aldrich tariff bill is almost
ready to report to thu Senate. A
little more tinkering and It will be
ready to pai«*i. Anj In Its almost
<>erfected condition It proves a great
*r disappointment than ever before.
Instead of revising thu tariff down
ward, as was promised, the bill Is
now loaded down with prohibitive
duties. As a revenue producer it was
long since seen to be a failure and
ihenca the tax on the corjioratloTis.
la splta of such overwhelming popu
lar demands for n reduction of tariff
duties that the Republican party was
compelled to pledge Itself in Its plat
form to a “revision." the Dingely
duties have actually been Increased.
Hxiravagant expenditures of the past
have been oontlnued, Increased taxa
tion has been lrnjosed and pledges
to the people have been broken.
The evils attending the automo
bile cra«e will |>e compensated large
ly if thw obsession shall bring good
roads In Its wake. The wounded
t*rlde of rural communities may
drive them to action where all ap
|>eal9 to reason and even to self
interest had failed. It is one thing
to wallow along contentedly over
highways axle-deep In mud, “the
world forgetting, by the world for
got; * but quite another matter to
h“ advertised from Dan to Iieersheba
• <* a let of mossbarks living In a
•vetlan centuries behind the times
In one of the chief adjuncts of so
cial progress and material prosperity
7 has 'The Red Devil" may prove to
*** the harbinger of real progress.
“When the late Senator Q :ay was
chief conductor of the Pennsylvania
machine the worshipers of power,
no matter how gotten or how exer
cised, lauded him as a great states
man, although he ha(j never per
formed an act of statesmanship In
Ms whole career, lit- was even held
up when living as a greater states
matt than Webster or (May Vet
with all his alleged ability In ma
chine management, he had no more
•ucs<and power than Penrose now
wo Joys The fact ]* that there was
more friction to the machine under
Quay than there P now under Pen
rose, who goes to Harrisburg to
make the nomination of s Republi
can State ticket with little or no
reelatane* to his supreme behests ”

If prices continue to rise of all
that covers the nakedness or tills
the stomachs of the people, what is
to be the end? What is to become
ot the families with fixed Income*,
derivable from rents or dividends?
What of the householder who lives
on a salary? What of that arji>
o' wage-earners which gets no pro
tection from organization, the men
and women who are producers In
one sense, hut having nothing ex
cept their time and labor to sell?
To the means of this class nothing
is added by the advance in the cost
of alt the necessaries they consume
Kvery cent that Is added to the mar
ket value of food, clothing a..d rent
means to them a diminution in the
quality of those tilings upon which
quality of thlse tilings upo„ which
their health and comfort, if not their
existence depends. If there is no
lin.it to the greed of that faction
o' the oltizenshlp which takes bene
fit from tliosw conditions. If there Is
no end to the disposition of the law
makers to lend to n preferred ele
ment tiie power of the government
t i grind the faces of the |»oor, must
there not como « time when the
Samson, no longer blind, will assert
his ow„ strength to seize Ills own
rights? Is fciere not danger that
when the tjme arrives that his pa
th nee is exhausted he will no long
er be contented to restore the bal
ance between the few and tho many
tliat. he will demand reprisals for
the wrongs so long suffered? Are
tl.ese legislators in Washington not
playing with fire when they pile bur
den on burden on the masses? Pres
hi* ru i arts warning rises to me
height tlmt the Republican majority
may become the minority unless the
call of the multitude for a fair deal
Is considered. That might content
the victims vf Protection now. H..t
later will it 8ufTtce to slake their
wrath that a political party should
retire from power? If the oppres
sion continues will not the anger he
accentuated against the government
itself. Entrenched privilege should
b<* wary of pressing those who hew
it i woo,i and draw its water too far.
Vested wrong must remember that
if is dealing with human beings,
not with sticks and stones. Reform
Is possible now. a few more years
of existing conditions and there will
he heard a wilder cry; and It will
spell Revolution.

Some Idea of the material prog
ress that this State Is making may
be gathered from the statistics which
set forth her increase in land pro
ducts and In the various branches
o' farming industry within the past
decade. Since the year 1900 Virgin
ia’s coni crop has trebled In value,
her dairy output has been multi
plied threefold. East year the mon
ey of the corn, wheat, oats, hay. to
bacco. potato, peanut, truck, fruit,
lairy, aipj miscellaneous crops was
nearly eighty per cent In excess of
the value of these crops In 1900.
though the acreage was consider
ably smaller, thus showing a much
Increased production to the acre.
The average improvement in all
lines of agriculture Is more than
satisfactory In all directions and
highly gratifying In many. From
the re|w>rt of the State Commissioner
of Agriculture we gather the fol
lowing com parisons:
Trucking has Increased five hun
dred per cent during the pes* ten
Nears. Fruit growing has Increased
• me hundred and fifty per cent. The
hay crop has increased one hundred
per cent. The canning industry Is
growing one county last year did
nearly 11,000,000 In this business.
I Ids line of business is growing In
many sections of the State. Several
hi ndre,j dollars per acre have l>een
made by small farmers In canning
their own crops of vegetables. Truck
lag requires Intensified farming, and
l» ads to the permanent improvement
of the soil. More live stock Is kept
on the farms and better quality of
V'sk The day of tbe scrub Is
rapidly passing away. The apple
orchards in the state, which have
been set less than ten years, are
coming Into hearing nicely. There
ire now a number of large commer
cial orchards in the state The val
ue of the fruit crop this year Is
f'<,000,000. an,| |n a few years will
exceed *he wheat crop. Com Is king
la Virginia The crop this year Is
▼ slued af 930.000,000.
Ten years more of equal advance
m« nt will place Virginia well in the
bad among the agricultural com
munities of the T’nlted States. T>|
ver«lty of crops, liberal fertilisation
and more skillful methods account
for the achievements of the past fie.
