Some Virginia Democrats are very anxious to have the tobacco tax re moved as one means of reducing the surplus. They argue, and with a sophistry that would do credit to the original Sophist himself, that the farmers demand this in order that they may be relieved from the erip of the tobacco monopolists of Rich mond, who are only five in number. These, it is claimed, by reason of their wealth, are able to pay the tax, whereas the small dealers cannot, therefore the farmers must sell to them. This is abstjrd upon its face. A dealer in tobacco is not called upon to pay any nWe tax than his dealings amount to1, and up to that point many of them can be fair com petitors of the monopolists. But that aside, the tobacco growers can, at any time, redress their grievances of. monopoly by clubbing together and sending their tobacco to the email traders, who can easily find bank accommodations equal to the amount of their purchases. But this story is not true. Tj'obacco, like every thing else, is worth just what it will bring, tax or no tax. This can be ascertained by thri relative value of raw and manufactured tobacco. This story of the monopolists is all sub terfuge and nonsense. The tobacco grower is not affected by the tax, and it should not be receded. If it is, it will be a confession of weak-j hess that will work to the injury,'; perhaps the defeat, of the Demo j cratic j party in 1888. It will be a case of the tail wagging the dog Randall and his little handful of fol lowers legislating for the whole Pemocratic partyj It will bo a cow-; ardly and base desertion f prmci-l pie. jl he internal revenue snouta stand as it is, and the Democratic party, with the rallying cry of; poor man's necessities first," enter upon the next cam Under the banner of a "free "The should paign breakfast table" there is certainty of victory for the Democrats. The re peal of the internal revenue will work its defeat. - The Star's Most Flattering Notice. I Lynchburg Daily News. - While we have not coincided with some of the views propounded by the Stab, we read its columns with both pleasure and profit. It is our private opinion publicly expressed, that our Wilmington contemporary is the ablest edited, but one, of the newspapers printed between New Orleaus and Mason and Dixon's line, and it is not one whit behind the ex cepted journal. We have said this many times privately before saying it now publicly, j We have read with satisfaction the "vehement praises" of its State contemporaries evoked by the announcement of its twen tieth birthday, and we wish it a long lease of life and prosperity. 1 j BENJ. FRANKLIN'S OPIN ION OF THE TARIFF IDEA, , Several of the Princes of Europe, having of late from an opinion of advantage to arise from producing all commodities and manufactures within their own dominions so as to diminish or render useless their im portations, have endeavored to entice workmen from other countries by high salaries, privileges, etc. Many persons pretending to be skilled in various great manufactures, imagin ing that America must be in want of them and that Congress would prob ably be disposed to imitate the Princes above mentioned, have pro mised to go over on condition of having their passages paid, lands given, salaries appointed, exclusive privileges for terms of years, etc. Such persons on reading the Articles of Confederation will find that the Congress have no power submitted to them or money put into their hands for such purposes, and that if such encouragement is given it must be by the Government of some particu lar State. The buying up ; of quantities of wool and flax with the design to employ spinners, weavers, etc., and form great establishments producing quantities of linen and woollen goods for sale baa been several times attempted in different provinces, but those projects have generally failed, goods of equal value being imported cheaper. And when the Governments have been solicited to support such schemes by encouragements in money, or by im posing duties on importations ; of such goods, it has generally been re fused on the principle that if the country is ripe for the manufacture it may be carried on by private per sons to advantage, and if not it is a folly to think of . forcing nature. Great establishments of manufacture require great numbers of poor to do the work for small wages, those poor are to be found in Europe, but will not be found in America till the lands are all taken up and cultivated, and the excess of people who cannot get land want employment. The manufacture of silk, they say, is natural in France, as that of cloth in England, because each country pro duces in plenty the first material; ".but if England will j have a manufacture of silk as well as that of cloth, these un natural operations must! be sup ported by mutual prohibitions, or high duties on the importations of j each other's goods; by which means me workmen are enabled to tmr t.h home consumers by greater prices, : j givnvu ri. tvCDa while the higher wages they receive make them neither hannier jnr ,v"' diuvd moy ouiy afinK more and work less. Therefore the Gov ernments of America do nothing to encourage such projectsJ ! The peo ple by this means are not imposed on either by the merchant or I me- vuanic: u tne merchant d.man much profit on imported ; shoes they . xuawuuo LUII buy of the shoemaker; and if he asks too high a price they take them of the merchant; urns we two proies eions are checks on each other, j The shoemaker, however, has, on: the Whole, a considerable profit upon his labor in America beyond what he had in Europe, as he can add to his price a sum nearly equal to all the expenses of freight and commission, risk or insurance, etc, neoessarily charged by the merchant.

Retain the Tobacco Tax. Phil. Record, Dem. . It has been asserted by high tariff organs that the Treasury would have been relieved of its embarrassments if Speaker Carlisle had consented to a repeal of the tobacco lax in the last Congress. This is a poor plea. repeal.of the tobacco tax would have redaced the surplus only to the amount of $27,000,000, and the high tariff obstructionists on both sides of the House would agree tq nothing of importance beyond this in the way of revenue reduction. They wanted to repeal the tobacco tax in order to prevent any interference with the taxes on raw materials and on articles! of necessity.1 1 To that the advocates of a sound fiscal policy can never consent.- i Besides, who can assert that a majority in the last Congress would have voted for a repeal of the to bacco tax, even if the rules of the House should have been j suspended for that purpose? A good many moderate Republicans, who remem ber that the internal revenue system is a part of the policy of their party, are opposed to interference with it. These Republicans have not aban doned their opinion that a better sys tem of revenue could not be devised than that) which taxes jdrink and smoke. They revolt at the proposi tion that the Voluntary taxes which men pay for such luxuries ' should be repealed in order to maintain taxes on raw materials and on necessaries of American households. When the question of abolishing the! whiskey, tobacco and oleomargarine taxes shall be raised in the next! Congress these Republicans will! be beard from. ' I : . 'i-.r'! - The organs of tariff extortion have no warrant for the assertion'! that the Republicans in the next J Congress can be'mastered in a body for a re peal of the internal revenue system.

The travel lers having within ten days bad a chance to experience the hospitalities of all sec tions of the country between Minneapolis, where snow actually feu upom them. and Montgomery, where banana trees were found growing in the open air, turned their faces homeward, with a promise from the railroad peopie that a run of forty-two hours should land them in Washington. Rome, Ga., Oct. 20. Ten thousand peo ple gathered at the depot of the East Tennessee road at Rome at 9.80 to-night to greet the President and Mrs. Cleveland. Huge bonfires blazed up and down the track and over it were threwn two magnM ficent arehesof electric lights. An im mense concourse of people gave expression to its enthusiasm in frequent cheers for Cleveland, and louder and even heartier cheers for Mrs. Cleveland The Presidential train was met .two!. miles outside the city by a committee, con-f sisting of Mayor Knox of Rome, Mayor: Mcwilliams of East, Rome, Congressman; Clements, and Mr. John T. Graves, editor of the Daily Tribune, who was charged with the dnty of introducing the President to the assembled multitude.

They re m mained half an hour. Tectjmseh. Ala., Oct. 21 At Caler a iunflion noint in Alabama where the train slopped to change engines, three or four thousand persons were assembled, and among them 500 workmen from Birmtog ham, who had come on a special train with cars gaily decorated. Here three cheers were given for Mrs. Cleveland and the President Mrs. Cleveland remarked sotto voce, "ibey have got the wrong end firstl" but Use President thought the people knew what they were about. Asueville, N. C. Oct. 21 This inor ing s run of the President's special train be twetn sunrise and late breakfast took in the ascent of the great smoky spur of the Al leghaoies. the line lying for fifty miles or mord beside the French. Broad river. Not all 1 be tourists werb up, and these missed the panorama whose varied charms are ho where surpassed . At Hot Springs Senators Ransom and Vance and Congressman Henr derson boarded the train and accompanied the President to Asheville. About 8 o'clock tho watches of the party, which were let back three weeks ago at Pittsburg, were advanced from central to eastern time, t Mono ah ton, N. C.Oct. 21. During he descent of the mountain along the banks of Mill Ureek.tbe head-watersof the Catawba the entire parly, including, the wife and daughter of Senator Ransom, who came on at Asheville, assembled in the observatory, the President and Mrs. Cleveland standing inesi of the way on the platform Majo McIJcc. railroad tuperintendent, called at ten! ion to points of interest, a dozen of which were in eight at one time. There marks of the least poetic of the tourists were broken and ejaculatory, while the artist became almost incoherent and wanted to get off. j f Old Fort. Oct. 21. The stop at Ashe villc. N. C. was scheduled for only fifteen minutes, but it lasted an hour. The muni cipal authorities and a host of citizens wel corned the President at the station and escorted him and his companions to car riages and took them through the town The way for half a mile was up a steep hill and it struck the guests as an . oddity that tneir conductors tn calling attention to : the natural beauty of the situation should refer to the locality as a valley. Therefore North Carolina was better understood when the summit was reached, from which on all sides could be seen from ten to fifty mues distant tne tops oi tne Blue Ridge, the Balsam range, the Smokies and Black Mountains, hemming in the fertile region wnoee Knoiis or ouo to 800 feet were dwarf ed to pigmies in comparison. The party's most active escort were a score of ladies and gentlemen on horseback, who led the wav up and down the steep mountain roads in a gallop. A feature of the reception was the line formed by a thousand mounted mountaineers and country people clad in their every day habits, but with bridles bedecked with little ' flags and equipage irimmea witn evergreens. i From Asheville eastward the railway kept close company with the Swannanoa.

New York, pro vides that S250 go to the unowiesvilie Presbyterian church; $50,000 to the Niag ara Presbytery; and $175,000. or property estimated to be worth that amount, to the Board of Commissioners of Foreign Mis sions. The Christianity of former times adhered closely to the inspired Word. The new piety has progressed far bevbnd these narrow bounds, and exults in emancipation from the bondage of written Scriptures As helps to devotion tne uioie and other books are recognized as useful instrumentalities. Bat its infallibility is denied, all all reliable interpretation of its contents is relegated to the "Christian con sciousness' within, in other words, as some final standard of judgment is neces sary, that standard is not to be sought in the Pooe. nor in the general consensus of Christians, but in the opinions and tastes of esch individual. The theologian of the gnostic and mystic school has a pope with in his own bosom. He possesses a mo nopoly of "sweetness and light," and the lowly Christian who is cat off from these superior privileges must be contented with the rude and unsatisfactory provisions of a literal Bible falsely imagined to be in spired. Richmond Advocate. r Holiness is a Btate-of soul and not t an emotion of the heart. It is not a distinct and specific virtue in itself, but it makes everything it touches virtuous. it is not in itself an independent grace, but that which confers graciousness on everything. Personal holiness is the first tribute which we owe to God. Pharnecas, says the Ro man historian, sent Cse3ar the present of a diadem while he was yet in rebellion azainst his throne. ' Csesar returned it with this sententious, admonitory message: "First of all. yield obedience, and: then make presents." The spirit of this message is addressed to every man. Holiness is the life of the Church. It is this that makes the Church a living body, and consequent ly it is the means and agent of its growth and happiness. A living thing grows from itself, and not by accession from without, as' a house or ship grows. A flower does not crow bv addinz leaves to it, or a man by fixing a limb to his frame. Everything that has life crows by a conveitmg process. which transforms the food into a means of nourishment. A holy Church lives, and its holiness converts all its ordinances ana pro visions into means of deep-rooted, solid, enlarged and beautiful usefulness. Dr. Jenkyn.
