GOD'S BOUNTY.

Thev Democratic party of Virginia,and the Democrats who may be elect¬ed to the General Assembly In the ap¬proaching election, are respectfully ad¬

jured to defeat the proposed repeal ofArticle X., .Section 2. of the Constitutionof the State. That section as it standssecures to all the citizens of Virginiathe free taking, or catching, of oystersIn their natural buds. In all the watersot the Commonwealth, with tongs, andImposes on all oysters sold a. rate ofluxation not exceeding that on all othertaxable property.But what happens. If the section be

stricken out, as proposed? All the peo¬ple will be at once deprived of the. im¬memorial natural bounty of heaven; allour inhabitants, men, women andchildren, by thousands on thousands,tyito have been accustomed to free oys¬ters for centuries, will be driven fromtheir supplies of food: and, soon, theoysters taken from the poor Virginians,¦will be turned over to alien trusts andfyndicatcs to enrich speculators underit tyrannical system of lease, taxation,Inspection and harrying police utter¬ly unknown heretofore to our peopleand Inconsistent with their long vestedrights.Have the people no friends and de¬

fenders? Are all our public men theagents and lobbyists of the greedy cap¬italists that have fixed their graspingrind longing eyes on God's -alms for thepeople? Is the manna (Tom iicaVni tobe put to contract, license and taxa¬tion? Is the oystorman to he drivenfrom his ind.ustry. and his family leftto want and starvation'.' The waters ofthe .lames are not seized and let totrusts; their fisheries and navigationnre ttot taken from the people; and the

; riparian owners of the falls and is¬lands of James river are not molestedIn the enjoyment of the rich water andelectric powers of those.No! it is the poor oystormen of the

Chesapeake Bay and its Inlets, with itsnatural fisheries .that arc t,> be r,,ji¬bed, and all -their customary and pre¬scriptive rights and Interests to heconfiscated by rapacity to soulless cor¬porations, syndicates and trusts: mon¬strous and gorging monopolies that willmake their owners Incalculably richbeyond the dreams of avarice, while thepoor fisherman, his wife and children,will starve In sight of the generous pro¬vision nature and God Intended forthem.

THE TRADING POLITICIAN.In conjunction with the wholesale de¬

fection of the Democratic organizationof Virginia, to Martin, it \e noted thatn number of professed Democraticjournals have gone hag and baggagewith the unfaithful organization. ..\marker! feature of the defection hasbeen n growing coolness toward Wil¬liam ,T. Bryan and the platform ofHOG. In many cases thi* coolness haabeen accompanied with downright dis¬approval of Bryan, and the platformnnd expressions of unmistakable con¬currence with the Republicans andjjoltllte«, especially on the monoy-ques.tlon and various other issues smackingof money and its power an against thelegitimate will of the pcop|lc.Tho officials of the party, of the

State, countlot) and cities have largelyAssumed the tone indicated, while cer¬tain journals, without fully disclosingllielr treachery, have been and arcominously silent.thereby manifestinga rÄaüiiut's to. go over to the enemy

,on the first favorable opportunity. TheVjtrad.'nff'POliticlan Ja the model,and In-

splration of. «11 these patriots.- Ho haano principles, nor public policy, and heis for the party that wins. Circum¬stances, as in Virginia and the South,may make him call himself a Demo¬crat, for local and social considera¬tions; but what he is at heart, andwhat he would dearly love to proclaimhimself, as parties now arc, that nonde¬script and most perfidious of creatures,a Democrat in State politics, and a Re¬publican In National politics.some¬thing like Barnum's woolly goat.aSouthern man with Northern "princi¬ples."He is the Coryphoeus ol our so-called

party-managers, and it le he and theywho will readily sell us to the highestbidder, the moment they dare; andthey' will dare anything when theyfind the press obsequious and the peo¬ple without brave and honest teachersand leaders, and knowing not what todo In the midst of so much treachery on

every hand.There must be a change In our party

government.a new deal In its person¬nel, if not a radical change In Its per¬sonnel. The dictatorship that was

given to John S. Barbour at Lynch-burg must end. It has no longer an ex¬cuse, and Is now exercised no longerfor great public ends, but for the pet¬tiest and meanest personal and pri¬vate aggrandizement. Virginians de¬mand Reform.now!

A GREAT YELLOW JOURNAL.The N. T. Journal, or Mr. Hearst's

Journal, notwithstanding the World,the flesh and the devil, and all the ad¬verse criticism with which it ts unspar¬ingly denounced by other journals, stillkeeps, In the main, the oven tenor ofIts way as a people's paper, thoughowned by a millionaire, and neitherblushes, nor changes color. "Yellow"it may be, In the cant sense of thatword, but it is certainly fearless andenterprising, and its circulation is pro¬digious. It .-was for Mr. Bryan and theDemocracy in 1S0G; but what it maybe in 1900 is problematical, though itcan hardly turn Republican, with theliberal principles it professes.

It maintains what it calls "an Amer¬ican Internal Policy," which it deflncsas follows:FIRST.PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF

PUBLIC FRANCHISES.SECON D.(DESTRUCTION OF

CRIMINAL TRUSTS.THIRD.A GRADUATED INCOME

TAX.FOURTH.ELECTION OF SENA¬

TORS BY THE PEOPLE.FIFTH.NATIONAL. STATE AND

MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT OFTHE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.SIXTH.CURRENCY REFORM.SEVENTH.NO PROTECTION FOR

OPr>rucsSLVi2 rrrt.usTS.We sec nothing objectionnhlo In all

that except that "public ownership ofnubile franchises," in an unlimitedscope, seems to us to 'be (In popularparlance) "biting off more than wecan chew," premature, and dangerouslysocialistic. There are several fran¬chises that government, no doubt,should hold and operate..as water,light. &c. But the scheme of unlimitedpubMc works In dangerous as an enter¬prise for government to assume, whenprobably many of them, or some ofthem, can be let, under careful safe¬guards, -to general competition, withgood results.At any rate, It is well to remember

that private intelligence and enterprise,not government, created and Inventedmost of our groat industries In theirpresent shape and magnitude. ButMr. Hearst's Journal, with all Its faults,is a great paper.

NOT AT ANY PRICE I

If, with our experience of a coloredrace among us, it could be presented asan original proposition: "That wc in¬troduce among us 8,000,000 of the col¬ored African race,".we incline tothink that the vote in all sections ofthe country would be overwhelminglyagainst it,.notwithstanding the In¬dustrial, commercial, political and allother arguments that could be used,in its favor; and the same considera¬tions should exclude another and nothalf so desirable an addition ot col¬ored inhabitants, citizens, or subjects,no matter the rehsons urged for It.Wo say this In reply to the half-

veiled support of Philippine expansionnow urged by South Carolina, factories(largely, if not chiefly owned by North¬ern and Republican investors) andSenator McLaurln, of that Slate, whomake a commercial appeal in behalf¦>f Chinese and Asiatic trade for theSouth. There are ninny and. had andmad things that might be profitable Incash, but the mnddest. worst and .sad¬dest would he for the South and South¬ern white people, after their past nndpresent experience of a colored race,t" seek or allow any connection what¬ever with another colored race if theycan prevent or oscnpc it.

THE PURSE NOT PATRIOTISM.

Cnpt. Lenry wants a few more troopsout in the Ladrones. The old (lag mustl>e protected. Tho fact that the fingmust and will be protected Is neverquestioned for a tnoment by any man.

It is not patriotism that ts "kicking"and fussing, It Is want of "funds" andthe dislike of American people tospending their hard-earned cash In thel .a drones, the Philippines, or in anyother Islands in Asiatic witters. If allthe soldiers and marines were calledhome and discharged, only enoughchecks and deeds and notes would haveto be stamped to pay the pension roll.The poor fellows'are not anxious tostay there and the American people donot wish them to stay there. It maybe assured that they will not staymuch longer than an election can beheld to change the complexion ot Con¬gress.

PUBLIC CONVICTS MUST MAKEPUBLIC ROADS.

There Is a business which from thenicest ancient times has been peculiarlythat of government, If not its exclusive¬ly, and that is the public highways: tolay out, construct and repair them; andto this work, from the same antiquity,government has dedicated captives,prisoners und criminals, to whose ranksaro now added, in some countries, he¬reditary road-workers, descended fromformer prisoners and criminals. It was

by the labor of these classes, we'd man¬aged and directed, that the stupendousmilitary and other ways of old were

constructed, of which much, after manycenturies, still remains unparalleled byany modern highway; and In somecountries to-day the best systems ofroad-construction nnd repair arc main¬tained by convicts, cx-convicts, theirdescendants and associates. In someof the counties of Virginia, North Car¬olina and other States the city, countyand State prisons have contributedconvicts whose labor has been mostsuccessful in making common roadsand keeping them in order.This is their proper work, and to it

they should be kept exclusively, andthere can be no greater misfortune be¬fall a Stale than that It should find ita profitable thing to put its convicts incompetition with Its honest citizens inthe ordlnhry industries and enterprisesof life, or to hire or lease them toothers to be* so employed.as in farm¬ing or planting, shoe-making, cooper¬ing, tobacco-manufacturing, mining,&c. Where popular government Is notpositively forbidden to enter into thiscontest with its citizens In materials,labor, products and capital itself, or bysupplying these, or any of them to part¬ners, lessees, or borrowers, the true rep¬resentatives of a free constituencyought to see and feel not only the hu¬miliation and degradation, but the pe¬cuniary loss to the honest and Indus¬trious citizens by forcing them Into a

competition with prisoners and crimi¬nals, worse than slaves, under a strin¬gent system that free men will notconsent to, and at rates that decenthouseholders cannot live upon.

It is therefore that the Virginian-Pi¬lot, In behalf of the people of Virginia,demands that the present system ofhiring and employing the State con¬

victs shall cease, as, in any case, un¬

worthy of her and in every way derog¬atory to a sovereign State; humiliating,Insulting and Injurious, to an honestand Industrious population; and tend¬ing to and only justifiable by a sys¬tem of government founded In com¬munism or socialism nnd which, de¬stroying Individuality, confounds all,good and had alike, In that most mon¬strous of despotisms which makesevery person a mere cog In a wheel,or a part of a regulated machine, with¬out will, or choice, or hope of advance¬ment. Down with such a policy.theworse the more money it makes; andleave honest Industry free to free andhonest toilers.What the State needs above all things

is a good system of public common

roads. Everybody knows this; butnow, as for years past, the pecuniaryprofit that can be realized by pittingcheap criminal labor, tinder stringentmastery, against the labor of honestfree men, Is appealed to unblushinglyto maintain the wrong against the peo¬ple, and at the same time to deprivethe Commonwealth of good roads thatwould contribute untold millions to thegeneral prosperity and happiness.The Virginian-Pilot has long been

crying.otrt.against.rhts.petty andshameful plan of employing the con¬

victs, nnd urging that wo have betterroads by convict labor. It is folly totalk of the counties building roads bycontract labor, at any early date, ifover; but the convicts, be they wherethey may, can at once be put to givingus* good roads, helped by additionsfrom the city nnd county jails. Theway to do it is to do It; and we askevery good citizen to make it his dutyto help the Virginian-Pilot push thismatter on attention and action.

COMMUNISM: THE HAMAN TRIAL

The* Virginian-Pilot was (he firstamong American journals (and allothers, so far as it knows) that calledserious attention to the fact that con¬solidation nnd combination, or any co¬operation in business on a largo scale,levltably tended to social communism,or socialism. Trusts and Fourier'sphalanstery may be opposite extremesin fact, as they aro certainly antago¬nistic In spirit and purpose.the for¬mer originating among the rich tomake them richer, nnd the latteramong the poor, to bring about somecciunlizatlon of conditions. Yet in prin¬ciple nnd operation they are very muchthe same; and If the capitalist and cor-

porator fears, hales and execrates thecommunist, the latter fully recipro¬cates the feeling.both ignorant thatthey are working to the same ends,though with very different designs.Hence. It Is tiot astonishing to sec

the strongest socialism taught in jour¬nals that nrofess to detest it; and nprominent nnd ablo organ of the trustsand 'imnerlalism, in whose horror ofsocial-and political communism weheartily concur, temporarily and pro¬visionally, expresses Itself as foil us,apparently without a suspicion that itis advocating the doctrines of Fourierand Herr Most:Several men working Independently,

working In competition with each oth¬er, each, striving to outdo the other,each studying how to reduce the costof production that he mny undersellhis competitor and command the trade,Anally decide upon a truce which end9la on agreement to combine their

forces nnd work together for the' com¬mon 'good of all mittles to the contract.The corporation, therefore. Is, soi tospeak, the outcome of a treaty ofpence between a number of men whobad previously been at war with oneanother.' It Is. In short, nn arrange¬ment by which they'llghten their res¬pective burdens. In this way they getrid of much of the worry and anxietyof the business competition, und theyaccomplish much more with a smallerexpenditure of energies. Corporationis but another word for co-operaticn,and the more we study the questionthe'more do we Incline to the opinionthat herein lies the solution of the greatproblem which from the beginning manhas boon trying to solve. With suchco-operation, strengthened

vand aided

by the numerous labor-saving inven¬tions of the day, the greatest resultswith (lie same expenditure of force arcto be accomplished, and the necessi¬ties, tho comforts nnd the luxuries oflife are thus to be obtained with thesmallest expenditure of force, with theleast amount of work.

That, mark you, is the plea nnd ar¬gument. In brief, of trusts nnd greatcorporations, and it is also the pleaand argument for socialism and com¬munism, only the former Is by a few.Tor the benefit of a few, nnd latter byall, for the common benefit of all. Itis obvious, loo, that as trusts Increasein magnitude and number, all men notIn them will bo Induced or forced tocombine and co-operate in self-defense,its well as solf-benetlt in other regards;and this must practically and logicallylead to the commune1. The conclusionis irrislsliblo from every point of view,and it is the wise and just conclusion,if tlte paragraph we have above quotedin behalf of trusts and progressiveco-operation be founded In right andtruth.When that time comes, wc who tire

temporarily and provisionally bitteropponents of socialism and communismmust become temporarily and provls-vlslonally their warmest advo¬cates, yet with a lurking long¬ing for the individuality, the per¬sonal freedom' and independence, theaspiring, yet honest ambition and thesoul-stirring 'struggles with circum¬stances and competitors, that are gone.The snmo paper from which wo havequoted above says that trusts and thegreat corporations do not and will notsuppress individualism, but encourageIt by the recognition, reward and pro¬motion of excellence and genius. Butif that be true, why are socialism andcommunism necessary destroyers ofIndependence and individuality? It" Itbo true, there decs not exist a singlevalid argument to meet Fourier, St.Simon and Robert Owen. It is nottrue. The encouragement alluded to soflatteringly Is but that extended tochildren and slaves. &c, who showsome aptitude thai may Ik- profitablyfostered. That is all.

If combination, co-operation and con¬solidation arc to have their perfectwork, from the corporation-trust tothe social anil political commune, asthey must and will, unless the courseof things ho stayed and altered, wcshall all be degraded to the lowest level,assigned and detailed according torule nnd order, without hope or fear,.mere animals in a tread-mill, with noprospect but the apportioned time forrest and feed.' That may suit somepersons; but it is suffernble only astho last resort from a competition runmad Into monopoly and Its greed andexorbitant oppressions; and the Vir¬ginian-Pilot docs not consider that thislifo is worth living to such an end;nor dees it believe that brave and in¬telligent men, to say nothing of Prov¬idence, will permit so deplorable andshameful a failure of the human ex¬periment.
