Big Stone Gap Post (Newspaper) - March 31, 1920, Big Stone Gap, Virginia
Peninsula Enterprise John w. Edmonds editor owner. Too Oman court hou8b, a entered it the poet office at Accomac o. I. Ta., As second class matter. Saturday april 22. 1911. Much Effort is being manifested by the opponents of Tariff reduction to embroil the democrats in the House Senate at the extra session of Congress to the end that Harmony in proceeding May be so checked As to destroy pres ent Prospect for a presidential Victory in 1912. Division of the democratic majority As Between the conservatives progressives is sought to be fermented while conciliation Between the regulars insurgents on the Republican Side is set Forth As insuring a failure of any legislation which the democratic party is pledged to carry out in Congress at the earliest possible Opportunity. In order further to increase chances of embroil ment the name of or. By ran is being used As a Factor to Widen the breach Between those democrats who stand for local High Protection the vast majority who Are lined up for the care of the interests of the Public at Large. The program Laid out by the House caucus of democrats will avoid if carried out As we believe it will be All the snags which the entrenched interests Are endeavouring to put in the Way of reciprocity general Tariff Reform. Or. Bryan himself through his commoner has expressed himself unequivocally in its favor. It is first the ratification of the Canadian treaty without amendment. Next such legislation As will immediately Cut Down the Price of the necessaries of life by the leveling of the chinese Wall Tariff Barrier erected added to by successive Republican administrations a revision schedule by schedule. With this alone accomplished Quot the democracy can go before the country with a record of Confidence not misplaced promises performed. The menace to the adoption of these measures is a nominally Republican Senate. This should not will not deter the democratic House in redeeming its pledges to the people. If. Through the opposition of the upper chamber these immensely important Reform measures shall fail the democracy will go before the people in 1912 with additional strength claim for the support of the country. Among the most ardent supporters of senator Martin in his candidacy for reelection to the United states Senate is the Index Appeal of Petersburg a. That journal denies the charge of a Washington paper that or. Martin voted with senator Aldrich while the Tariff Bill was under discussion eighty times More than any democratic senator but admits that or. Martin did vote with senator Aldrich eighteen times More. One of the times in which the Quot Index Appeal credits senator Martin with having joined hands with senator Aldrich appears in the following from the virginian Pilot a for example the explicit charge is made that among the 18 occasions when according to the Index Appeal his name was recorded in the same column with that of or. Aldrich he voted in opposition to a motion re committing for amendment that schedule of the Bill fixing the duties on Woolen fabrics the schedule which president Taft did not hesitate to denounce As indefensible the schedule which piles up profits As High As 100 per cent for the manufacturers enhances the Price of clothing to the american consumer in a like ratio. It is alleged that when senator Cummins moved to Send this schedule Back to the committee with instructions to Cut Down the Bonus to monopoly to fix compensatory duties based on foreign prices Cost of Domestic production senator Martin joined with senator Aldrich to defeat the motion. Is this True let us have a Yea or nay reply also let there be Light on the seventeen times when the Index Appeal credits senator Martin with having joined hands with senator Aldrich. That schedule a is the most outrageous of All the assaults on the rights pockets of the people it is the one first to be taken up for correction by the democrats in Congress. A a As appears from the above senator Martin voted to a increase the Price of clothing 100 per cent a the query therefore is pertinent can we Trust a Man who voted to impose such a Burden upon us to represent us again in the United states Senate the course Success of governor Wilson of new Jersey is being watched commended by the democratic As Well As by an influential part of the Republican press of the country. The adoption of Wilson s progressive policies the Strong following he has secured in efforts to eliminate the Power of Money from politics is destined to have its influence throughout the entire country. So keen an observer As or. Bryan awards him the highest Praise. If governor Wilson has an Eye to the presidency he has certainly not let that ambition interfere with the carrying out of his duty to the people As he understands it. The officers of the United states Public health Marine corps now surveying the Oyster rocks of Virginia will Complete their work in a few Days will confirm in full the results of the inspection made by the state health department experts. It is also expected that the Federal authorities will be Able to report that the Oyster Industry of Virginia is being conducted in a sanitary manner that the oysters with a few exceptions come from Beds which Are sanitary Safe. The publication of the Complete reports will put an end to the false reports regarding the Virginia Industry which Oyster Raen declare were circulated by the yellow press of the North in an attempt to damage the Oyster Industry of this state. State chairman j. Taylor Ellyson has issued a Call for a meeting of the state democratic committee to be held in Richmond the first week in May. The Date for the primary has been set for september 7, which is later than such contests Are usually held. The state democratic committee will assess the candidates according to the estimated expenses of the primary election. Circuit court proceedings. April term 1911. Henry h. Read wife is. Cuas.
