The excellent picture we prerent at the bead of t his column, is of a man who is as "ell and favorably known in his capacity as a travelling man or -drummer” as any one man in the United States. Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recent ly : “about four years ago l had a severe attack of rheumatism, which compietely disahled me tV>r a time, and which develop ed into what is commonly called -chronic,' attacking me when least expected, and lav ing me up entirely; incapacitating me for any kind ot business, and causing me as much suffering in a day as should be crowd ed in a life time.

I two bottles of bis stuff, prepared from roots and herbs, and I have never had a twinge of rheuma tism since. The medicine was not prepar ed for sale at that time, but was manufac tured by Mr. Hunnieutt for bis friends.

MONROE COUNTY, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 27. 1886. COMMUNICATED. Luray, Va., July 11th. 1886. Editor Advertiser : — 'To-day be ing Sunday, and tiring of lounging and reading, the iilea occurred to me that J would scribble you a few pages of observations taken in by the witer during bis three summer’s business tour through the Virgin ias as a commercial traveler, which if you deem of sufficient interest to your readers you can insert in your columns, otherwise consign the same to your waste basket. There is no more pleasant and in teresting tour to be made in tiie coun try by the wayfarer who has leisure and does not care to make much outlay of money than one through Virginia, oldest of tiie colonies, first among the states. Not a trip to he gone over in the stereotyped style, it would then afford not a particle of pleasure. Pedeslrianism, country stage coaches, and old fashioned ho tels would have to he availed of in conjunction with the railway and modern lintel ; the people and their home life would have to lie conned somewhat, the curiosities and sights sought out and examined into. So much it would be, above all, a lesson in character and in history from the life, aside from natural beauties. Such a tour, extended both as to space and time, was made by the writer through the most famous sec tion of Virginia, from Mount Ver non to York and Jamestown, down the superb Shenadoah valley, across the mountains, over the battlefields; through cached hamlets on to towns of high renown. A little steamer daily takes a load of human freight from Washington down the lovely Potomac to Mount \ ernon, pil grims from all parts of the Union. The sail is charming, and in an hour all are landed on the river s shore at the toot of the hill upon which the mansion is built. Some are in be coming, reverential mood, others are bent on gayetv, but patriotism pervades the crowd, including the cowboy or backwoodsman from afar. Good pathways lead up to the tomb and tbenco to the house. At the tomb hats come off before the simple marble inscribed with the great name, a moment of inspection en sues, and the pathway is resumed to ward the venerable dwelling, its rooms and relics being of course minutely viewed. The place is well kept by the ladies in charge, trees and flowers abound, and lunch can be had before the little steamer calls for the homeward return. Standing on the spot, the chief attraction is fancying the great man, his well rounded career ended, sitting under the noble trees on the brow of the bank or in the old fashioned piazza looking across the broad river, re calling the past or musing of the future, destined to bnug him endur ing fame. The trip is usually an extremely enjoyable one. Back to Alexandria, rich in his governors, the church in which he worshipped, the houses he frequented and duly visited. On through Fairfax Court House, wo stand at last on the first battlefield of the war, Bull Bun. The veteran of Waterloo sees \Y el lington in his minds eye, and so now can Beauregard be seen by the southei u veterans on the banks of Bull Bun. There is a very eager and laudable desire on the part of the soldiers fun away down in Dix ie’s land to see and stand once more upon the Virginia battlefields which their valor and devotion helped to put so higli up on the scroll of his tory, and not a few have revisited them. Their dearest memories will ever remain clustered around them, ever enlivened by the associations connected with them. How many common soldiers lie on these fields dead, not for idle glory, but from a sense of duty, (say it evenly ;) that was not vanity, but a wholesome lesson for those left living and to live. Then the blasting and hurling tramp of war. now peaceful silence over all bright flowers; nature all aglow with life, not reclining under destruction. What a picture is that in remembrance; what a picture is this before us now, the coloring is widely apart, but in truth, if we only look closely enough about, con trast will be found strong every where and always. Plunging into the mountain re gion Berryville is u fit eye-opener to the beautiful valley of the Shenan doah river, it is one of the neatest cosiest, little villages to meet any where. with excellent inn and some pretty residences. A few hundred yards distant can be seen the first log house, shingled, put up by Wash ington with his own hands for his dwelling when he was Lord Fair fax’s surveyor. It is of course very much decayed, yet wonderfully well preserved, if time and weather be considered. A flat stone lays in front of the door, or the opening where the door was. and it would appear that there was just space enough in the loft for the general or his body servant to sleep in ami not be smothered, which is to say that the structure is diminitive. So young, he seems to have had a gen erals eye. for his little building is situated near a large spring, still now. as then, bubbling forth its de licious water. Other relics of him are to be *ound in tine neighborhood. At a cottage called the -Briars " in the vicinity lives J din E-Ren Cooke, “the Virginia novelist,” as he is known, seeing the state has none other, and as his writing has been exclusively confined to Virginia subjects. The attractions of Har per’s Ferry, Yfincli ester, Luray Cave, Stanton, a town of female semi naries, and other ’•points of inter est in the valleys!are richly deserv ing of their notoriety. Conven ient lines of railway bear us through the valley, and from these stages and vehicles will take the traveler bent to go on either side, north or south. The “peninsula” formed by the James and York rivers, extending as it were from Biehrnond to Fortress Monroe, is peculiarly interesting from the fact of its having been the first settled, and tints entitled to be known as ‘-Virginia proper.” Tou rists are conveyed over it by means of two lines of railway and two lines of steamboats going down the James and the York. One line of railway leads to the head of the York river, and is here called the “York River Railway.” It is in good condition, forty miles long, but its train coach es might be improved upon, not be ing exactly of the Pullman palace car order. In ’fact they are rural, but one gets over the ground in them all tiie same, just as the small boy who takes his ride on the omni bus steps gets to the goal as do the insiders on cushioned seats. We stop at the “white house” station on leaving the York train and find our selves inspecting the plantation and site of the abode (for the old white house was burned during the war) where Washington escorted Mrs. Curstis to the neighboring church of St. Peters to get married to her widows hip. Gen. Lee possessed through the Curtises this mansion and fine estate, and lived upon it. His youngest |on, Robert E. Jr., still owns and cultivates a large por tion of it nearer lo WeA Point. A little below the white house, on the river Pamunky,; stands “Pamunky Town.” It is known to a very few only that neal descendants cf the queen of the tribes of the Pamunky Indians have continued to reside in Virginia after the disappearance of all other tribes. The soil is as sa cred in their eyes as in those of the pale faces, the part they own and occupy, at least, which consists of eight hundred acres ol land in King William county. Including men, women and children they number about eighty persons, none of whom are of pure olood, as their progeni tors for several -alteration:! inter married with < whites, mulatties and black C tl-hlanding this fact, the distinct physiognomy ofthe Indian strongly asserts itself, and an observer will not fail to recognize at once the peaceful fishermen and peasants of Pamunky Town to be the direct descendants of Opee elnincnough and his tawany war riors of 1 GOT. The tribe still has a chief, and are untaxed by state or Federal government. The land on which they live is now and ever has been held in trust for their benefit by commissioners appointed by the county court. During the late war their rights as neutrals were respec ted by both belligerents, and they received compensation from the government of the United States at the cessation of hostilities for damages done by the Federal troops. Although it is not required of them, it is the custom of their chiefs to make a complimentary visit to each newly inaugurated governor at Richmond and express their fealty to the state by a present of fish or game. Thus they have lived in perfect security for two hundred years among the descendants of their ancient enemies, a remnant of the original owners of the country outsed by the whites. During all this time their little settlement has remained as free as Andona, in the Pyrenees or the little republic of San Marino in the Appenines. They represent the only free organized community of aboriginal Americans now left on the Atlantic slope, and with their disappearance will have passed away the last of that myste rious race cast of the Missississippi river. They have schools of their own but they are greater adepts at fishing and hunting than imbibing book knowledge. Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown, the first of capitals, are now mere shadows and wrecks, yet gloriously alive on the pages of his tory. The site ofthe first settlement is about as hard to find as that of Troy, though we may easily tread the plain “where it was.” Several churches and a goodly number of houses, A'et standing and used and dating from the colonial era. are to be seen in the “peninsu la.” The mason of their walls is thick, solid, as good as when put up, and the finishings are likewise sub stantial. such buildings date from the latter half of the colonial regime. The solid old brick houses are yet tenantable after a lapse of more than 100 years. Several of the finest were ruthlessly destroyed by the Federal soldiery, especially by that scon rage of any country hostile cav alry. St. Peter** church, still in good order near the “white bouse” is of very solid and quaint built. Mr. Keppler an Episcopal minister of Richmond, was its rector for many years before the war, and during ilie straggle be preached there often. His son recalls having heard his father say that an old darkey rela ted to General Lee and himself as they were strolling about the grounds the manner in which he witnessed Washingtons marriage party as it proceeded from the j “white house” to the church. St. Peter’s is itself a curiosity with the peculiar tower and inbuilt shed, un der which carriages could empiy their load ot worshippers in bad weather without any fear of wetting their feet or garments. Service is occasionally held in the church, though the attendance is slim at the best, owing to the sparseness of the population roundabout. The locali ty was devastated during the war, and many of the inhabitants were ruined and left to seek their fortunes elsewhere ; those who had been well off and thriving refugeed to Rich mond during the battles, afterwards broke up their old moreings and sold their estates for much below their value, in tact sacrificed them in order to move away. The same unfortu nate rcsulW-tnok place at many other localities in the state. Many old homesteads were thus utterly razed to the ground or fell into the hands of strangers, who have since so changed them that they would not be recognized by the former own ers themselves. The “peninsula” bore its full share of the brunt of the war, and its battlefields are almost left alone to tell the tale of glory and ruin. Clarence. FARMERS AND TARIFF. The tenancy towards the concen tration of exclusive priviledges in the hands of the few, is fast under mining’the pillows on which, our re publican or democratic institutions rest. Since Mr. Morrison and his democratic supporters failed in their efforts to lighten the burden of taxa tion, by reducing the tariff, many of the organs of protection have turned loose their slush tubs on the mem bers of congress from Georgia and other southern states who supported and aided, Mr. Morrison in his ef forts to reduce taxation, calling them free traders and fanatics, and tlieir arguments free trade twaddle. Now let us see on what foundation such assertions rest. The democrat ic p’atform on which Samuel J. Til den was nominated and was elected contained this plank on the tariff question. “Wo denounce the present tariff, levied upon nearly tour thousand articles, as a masterpiece of injustice, inequality and false pretence. It yields a dwindling, not a yearly ris ing revenue. It has impoverished many industries to subsidize a few. It prohibits imports that might pur chase the products of American la bor. It has degraded American commerce from the first to an infe rior rank on the high seas. It has cut down the laics of American manufactures at home and abroad and depleted the returns of American agriculture an industry followed by half of our people. It costs the people five times more than it produces to the treasury, obstructs the processes of production, and wastes the fruits of labor. It pro motes fraud fosters smuggliu, enrich es dishonest officials and bankrupts honest merchants. We demand that all custom house taxation shall be only for revenue.” It will be remembered that with this plank in its platform the demo cratic party carried the country for the first time in twenty years. ” The democratic national platform of 1836 contains this article: “Hostility to any and all monopolies by legisla tion, because they are violations ot the equal rights ot the people. The true foundation of republican gov ernment is the equal rights of overt citizen in his T>erson and property and its management.” The democratic platform of IS 10 1 has this plank. “Justice and sound policy forbid the federal government to foster one branch of industry to the detriment of another, or to cher ish the interest of one portion to the injury ot another portion of our com mon country, it is the duty of ev ery branch of the government to en force and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and no more revenue ought t be raised than is required to defray the necessary ex peaces of the gov ernment. The democratic platform I of 1852 has this flank on the tariff ! question. Resolved, that it is the dut\ T of every branch ofthe government to enforce and practice the most rigid economy in conducting our public affairs, and that no more revenue ought to be raised than is required to defray the necessary expenses of the government and for the gradusil but eertian extinction of the public debt and to sustain and advance among them constitutional liberty by continuing to resist all monopo ; lies and exclusive legislation for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many.” The platform of 1844 and 1848 | contained planks equally strong in opposing monopolies and excessive revenue taxes. With the above facts before us what right have those editors who eali themselve democrats to denounce our representatives who aided Mr. Morrison in his efforts to reduce revenue taxes. It lias always been the policy of tiie democratic party to oppose rais ing only more revenue titan was ab solutely necessary to run the gov ment economically. The democrat ic party has never favored a tariff for ' protection. This is a free country and every man has a right, to his opinion and if a man thinks it right to tax all the people, by a protective tariff, for the benefit ofthe few who are engaged in protected industries it is his right to so express himself, but he has no right as a democrat to denounce democrats for adhering to democratic principles. If they do not like democratic principles then let them go where they belong to the republican party, as that party has always been in favor ot a protective tariff. In a speech delivered in the Uni ted States senate on the 10th day ot January 1882, lion. James B. Beck said “to-day- the farmer who furnish es nine-tenths of our vast exports, and is compelled to sell them in un protected markets or at their prices, cannot buy with the money he gets in the market where he sells, the things lie must have without paying 45 per cent, at least more than they are worth or than man who has them for sale asks for them. I nev er could see how that protected American labor.” 1 lie foreign seller can sell, in spite of us at the price he asks to any of the 1,400,000,000 in the world out side of the United Stotes. Congress cannot prevent that. All it can do or does do is to rob our own people by requiring them to pay for what they must have 45 per cent, more than anybody else pays. The pro tection (so called) is a congressional license to a few influential corpora tions or wealthy combinations to extort from the American farmers, laborers, professional men and their families a large percentage of their earnings, not to support the govern ment, but to enrich people who have no right to take any thing from them, and call that protection. It is the protection the wolf gave the lamb.” To show the corrupt working of such a system I quote from the 7th page of the same speech of Hon. J. 13. Beck who was showing how the system worked in New York, he said: “The secretary ot the treasury re ported officially that at the port of New York alone, in a few years, an informer named Jayne received $451,000 as his share of the plunder, while the collector, the appraiser, and the naval officers each received about $170,000 as their portion of it, in addition to the large ariual sala ries paid to them by law, while the merchants were robbed indiscrimi nately regardless of their right or justice.” The system of protection was wrong in principle from the start, and fraud and corruption have fol lowed as the natural consequence of such error. At the battle of Rephi dem, which was fought 3377 years ago between the Amalekites and the Hebrews, when the people held up the hands of Moses their leader and legislator the Hebrews prevailed, and when they let 'down his hands the Amalikites prevailed. So it has been in all countries from that time to the present, when public leaders grappled with error and difficulties, if the people did not sustain them and hold up their hands then they of necessity failed. “It is hard to tread the wine press alone.” Our Georgia congressmen have stood up in the national congress against or ganized capital for tiie people’s rights and now the people ought to come to their rescue when the democratic protection is to tpour out their anath a mas on their heads for doing their du ty. If the people do not sustain their congressmen in this ease why after awhile they will fall into the ranks of the enemy and join the republi can ranks who clamor for protection. Let the people speak out on I his subject. In the issue of June 29th ofthe Monroe Advertiser a writer who signs “Cobden” shows that out of a tax th* people pay to the pro tective system 0f81,700,000,000 that only 8300,000,000 go to the support ofthe government. The remainder $1,400,000,000 go to build up protec ted in dust res. Farmers, merchants, laborers and professional men have the power to change this system.
