It says: The following article, which appeared in the southern states magazine, gives reason for congratulation throughout the South and is a most remarkable showing for these times of financial depression. The day is rapidly approaching when the South will be the richest and most prosperous selection of our country, and while the Farms of New England are being abandoned and manufactories clothes for lack of business we see new Enterprises opening up in all Southern States. This has been done in spite of Northern Prejudice and hostility, and in the face of obstacles that would have daunted a last determined people. The eyes of the world are beginning to look with favor on our Southland and the era of prosperity now opening is one that will bring prosperity and wealth throughout the entire self. There is an entire absence of love of country in the above, and a striking example of a love of selection. It emphasizes what has been said by Northern orders that the Democratic tariff bill was drawn with a view to entering Northern Industries and fostering Southern ones. The gloating over the destruction of New England manufactories is most unfortunate all classes can't afford to walk them the industrial emancipation of the section; but if it is to be done at the expense of others, we should be slow to to giving to our feelings in the matter.

It has been well said that any party which attempts to pass a tariff bill invite defeat. The measure known as the Wilson Tariff Bill past the Democratic House of Representatives after a bitter fight and was a long ride in the direction of free trade. In the so radical were some of its Provisions that many leading manufacturers declared that it would force them out of business, not being able to compete with the English manufactures and pay the American scale a wages. It was observed that the Democratic Senate would never concur with the house. The Wilsonville was so amended, add the changes made so radical that it was openly declare that it was simply the Republican McKinley Bill modified. Attacks was placed on Sugar, coal, and iron ore. The Democrats had to make these concessions in order to prevent certain of their own members in the Senate from defeating the matter. The income tax was another part of the house bill and it was with difficulty that it was retained. As it was Senator Hill declined to support it, and voted with the Republicans against the bill. It was known that the members of the House were Rafi over the turbo disfigurement their measure had received but it was not believed that they would go to the extent of defeating it rather than submit to its Provisions. It was thought to that the president favored the Senate measure as the best that could be gotten at this session. Imagine the surprise when the committee on conference from the two branches reported a disagreement and chairman Wilson although sick led the attack against the Senate bill. She read a personal letter from President Cleveland, delete it as late as July 2, 1894, in which he had denounced certain provisions of the Senate tariff measure and declared that to pass the bill in that shape would be to sacrifice by 2 principles of democracy itself. The Democratic senators were angry and Senator Gorman who seldom them loses his temper in public speech went so far as to denounce President Cleveland as a coward who had not there to make known earlier his ultimatum.

Shall we take advantage of the opportunity and nominate a republican or shall we declare it to be inexpedient to make a nomination and leave the matter to the dissatisfied Democrats, who rally under the banner of the Populists and the regulars who refused to profit by the present experience of hard times? In such an event the Republicans will be expected to hold the balance of power and do much towards the settling of the contest. It is unquestionably a fact that the new law to which the name of Walton is attached will be worked for all it is worth as against the Populist and the Republicans, and fraud will unquestionably figure most conspicuously in Richmond city. Can we win with such as against us and with Col. Tazewell Ellett as the standard bearer of Democracy? These questions require an answer before it can cen be intelligently decided as to whether ot not a republican convention should be held and a candidate placed in field. Furthermore, whom can we nominate? If the nominee is to run for patronage, rather than for the office, not much significance can be attached to this question, but if he is to runwith a sincere desire and an earnest expectation of being lected, we must necessarily go slow in slectng the timber which is to be used in the contest. “An unobjectional condidate if you want to win!” has been the cry.

The overwhelming victory of Col. Tazewell Ellett in the Democratic primary on the 2nd inst., leaves many sore-headed Democrats who would like to apply the [unintelligent] to his successful lordship. It is plainly evident, too, that Hon. George D. Wise, the defeated aspirant for reelection is not in the best of humor if we are to accredit the newspaper statement that he declared he would not throw his delegation in favor of any one man. The voters of this Third Congressional District are sick of Democratic inactivity and propose to rebuke the policy of “do nothing”. It is plainly evident, that there is a deep under-current in the Democratic ranks which will tend to a permanent disruption of that organization unless something radical is done to check it. Discontent and hard times are everywhere apparent, and the dominant party is rightly held responsible for it. The retiring congressman has been a partisan of the worst stripe and rewarded his benchmen to the detriment of the cause he represented. He was confident of being returned to congress at least so far as a Democratic convention was able to have him returned, but his hopes have been blighted, and he returns to the bosom of his friend in Washington, no doubt with tears in his eyes and bitterness in his heart. He can now sing with a realing sense of its full force: “I was Democratic congressman in eighteen ninety-three, I voted for the Wilson Bill, to set the people free, And now I heard a new song, they sing it every day.

When it came to the point of fulfilling promises made to the Republicans, the liberal Democratic contingent you did to the siren voice of the tempter and violated it obligations. As a result, on the 7th inst. Martin J. Ryan, a Democrat of the most pronounced type was elected Chief of Fire department over J Anderson, the Prohibition-Reformer nominee, and A. E. Murray, Democrat, was elected Captain of Police over Chas. Vellines, Prohibition-Reformer. Thus may be seen how utterly impossible it is at this time to force a compliance with party obligations. It is well that the colored men were provided for in the commencement of the biggest all of patronage. Twenty-two of them are on the street force and one is janitor at the courthouse. The decision which deprive the six color councilman of the seat to which they had been honestly elected or yet result in harm to the cause of the party that profited by it. It is a shame that such a disgraceful affair should be allowed to go unpunished and unrebuked by the proper tribunal. These reform movements are sporadic and to profit by them one must act quickly. Disintegration begins as soon as victory has been achieved. They are no doubt beneficial, but are intended to punish old parties not to kill them.

Senator Gorman, who led the forces against the administration clearly outgeneralled his antagonist. Republicans sat quiet and witnessed with pleasure that's disruption which was open the apparent within the ranks of the Democratic Party. The passage of the tariff measure has tended to widen the breach rather than close it, for Senator Hill was neither slow nor backward in declaring that the income tax would cause the lost to the Democracy. not only of New York and Connecticut, but New Jersey as well. With all of the effort expended to secure the passage of the measure barring the income tax feature it is but the McKinley Bill modified and this modification is in the direction of sacrificing Democratic interest both in the North and in the South. Virginia and West Virginia will feel keenly the reduction of the duty on coal and iron ore. The stand taken by the House,Expressing as it did the sentiment of President Cleveland makes it especially objectionable to him that he should be forced to allow it to become law, a measure which Hon. Wm. L. Wilson had so roundly denounced and which in the famous Cleveland letter was declared to be a sacrifice of principle which should neither be tolerated nor endured. The passage of the bills providing for free coal. 3 iron ore and free sugar was mere Child's Play, and simply afforded the House some occupation and consolation after it had been bullied and beaten into submission by the Senate. The Tariff Bill as passed by Congress will do the party as much harm as would the failure to agree upon any measure. The gentleman in the White House is not in the best humor and his followers in the lower branch of Congress are as Sullen and angry as any body of men could possibly be. The end is not yet.

Item Type Article Image No URL https://virginiachronicle.com/cgi-bin/virginia?a=d&d=RP18940901&e=-------en-20--1--txt-txIN------- Topic Government and Politics Times Repeated Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound President Cleveland declined to sign the Senate Tariff Bill passed by the members of his party in the Congress of this United States, and although the measure has become a law, the ten-day limit having expired, he administered a most telling rebuke to his party. To say that after all of these months of weary toll, and patient waiting a tariff bill should have been passed which the head of the organization could not countenance of endorse is to make more ridiculous the position of the Democratic party and to stamp indelibly upon its face the brand of incompetency. But why is this bill so objectionable and what are the ills which come with it? It sacrifices the principle of free raw materials by allowing a low rate of duty upon coal and iron ore. In this, it is tacitly admitted that the Republican McKinley Bill is right in principle, and the fervid oratory of the Democratic orators goes for naught. The Democratic leaders denounced the Sugar Trust, a company of men who control the sugar interest of the United States. And yet the same leaders in the Senate engrafted in this Democratic tariff bill a tax which will give to this same trust fourteen million dollars as a starter. The Louisiana dyed-in-the wool Democratic planters are angry, for the bounty of two cents per pound of sugar which the McKinley bill allowed them to have repealed and this section is in tears. The Democratic leaders condemned the Populists as being dreamers, the propagators of visionary schemes, and yet they adopted in the tariff bill one of the main planks in the Populist platform - the income tax against the protests not only of Senator Hill but President Cleveland as well. This act alone the distinguished Senator from New York declared he would lose not only his state, but Connecticut, and New Jersey as well. Never has there been a more self-evident case of political suicide in the history of the government. Defeat for Democracy is already in sight and the only question is as to the size of the majority which is to hurl it from power, we hope at least for another generation.

Republicans both white and colored have been [unintelligent] out time and [unintelligent] just such men and [unintelligent] as Senator Butler and his supporters.

This magnificent body, by a unanimous vote stood by its former action, demonstrating that it recognized the fact that no considerable portion of the population should be (unintelligent) or unjustly discriminated against in a city of progress, which is making rapid strides in the direction of becoming one of the foremost municipalities in this country. We viewed Mayor Taylor’s action more with pity than with anger, feeling that his unfortunate message based upon the color line would cause many white gentlemen of the same party persuasion to “bite their lips” with vexation and feel ashamed that the official head of this great city government had made himself ridiculous in the eyes of the SOuthland and the country, ere yet the robes of office had become adjusted to the lines of the figure which they had been made to adorn. These colored militiamen are under the direct control of Hon. Charles T O’Ferrall, the Commander-in-Chief of all land and naval forces of the commonwealth, and in case of riot or other disorder in this city are under the command and direction of Mayor Taylor himself. These colored troops have been trained to obey implicitly their commanding officers, and should an order be given, requiring them to fire upon their own color they would not hesitate to do it. “Theirs not to make reply, Their not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die” The riots at Newport News many years since demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt the efficiency of this branch of the service. When was is made upon us the enquiry is made for a being who can handle a rifle and be brave in the exercise of rifle and be brave in the exercise of it. The color does not enter into the matter. It was hardly necessary to argue this question since the facts to argue this question since the facts are so plain that he who runs may understand. Suffice it to say that troops are maintained for the protection of the life and property of a community and when the constabulary and police force are unable to cope with spreading disorder, they are called into service. As gentlemen, identified with and belonging to the white race are owners of the larger portion of property and by force of numbers possess also the greater portion of life to be saved, it stands to reason that they should be most forward in the advocacy of all measures which would secure the best protection which can be obtained. It was with this idea in view that both branches of the City Council have done what it could for the betterment and encouragement of its citizen soldiery. The Oath which Mayor taylor has so recently taken, declaring that he recognized the civil and political equality of all men before the law and that he would maintain and support the Constitution of Virginia and the Constitution of the United States should have warned him as to the languages to be used in his official document...

The trial of the fiends who conspired to, and finally murdered six colored men alleged to have been implicated in barn-burning resulted in a miscarriage of justice. Richardson and Smith, the murderers were acquitted, although there is hardly in this country today a fair-minded person who paid any attention to the facts in the case but what believes them to be guilty. Hon. H. Clay Evans, the Republican nominee who was elected Governor of Tennessee, both as an actual fact and upon the face of the returns has not yet been inaugurated and Gov. Turney, the defeated Democratic nominee complacently violates the constitution and the law and refuses to relinquish the office as a candidate for which he has been defeated. The Democratic members of the legislature are a party to this conspiracy, although many of them have refused to be led into committing perjury and violating the most solemn obligations which a man can take. It is the intention of these men to have a contest before the legislature for which be it remembered there is no authority under the Tennessee constitution thereby delay the time in order that usurping Governor may continue to hold the office. This is revolution and it becomes an open question as to whether or not the people will attend it. On the heels of this, comes a delegation of the business men from Tennessee asking the government to make an appropriation for government exhibit at the exposition to be held in this state in ’96. With the Republicans in the ascendancy in the 54th Congress and enough members of that Party in the Senate to talk such a measure to death, it seems to be inconceivable that the liberal-minded Democratic white men of Tennessee should be so stupid as to allow such a condition of affairs to longer continue. We trust that Hon. H. Clay Evans will fight it out to the finish, and go to any length to secure the office to which he has been honestly and legally elected.
