friend John Wilson charges one of my
field hands five dollars for pair of

nearly seven bushels Of wheat.
These ocofoco friends of the British

fishermen, and pork and beef packers
too, many of whom are farmers They
told US we were enormously taxed for
salt--nye! .7iWm Sat-. They complain
ed bitterly because the salt was taxed,
and charged that the duty went to sup

the people Of this State. who carried
them in the New Constitution. We ap-
prehend he will try in vain to explain
them.
Letters from various parts of the Dis
trict give good news for Evans. Our
friends in all the other counties promise
him ma orities; and we feel con fdent he
will have a considerable majority in Ce-
Gil. We presume, no one really com
petent to Judge, doubts his election, and
that too, by large majority.
We hear from time TO time, rumors of
gross lies circulated against Mr.. Evans
in the other counties in the District. We
scarcely think he can be injured by them,
| for all the W higs Of his District who are
not already assured 1.-THE fact, may rest
satisfied that he is true Wing, a true
Marylander, and whole-souled gentle
man, and just such a candidate as is quail
flied by talents and principles to repre-
sent the people Of the fifth District CT
Maryland.
We have good reports as to the pros
poets of the Wing ticket in Cecil gener-
allv--the signs are unusually suspicious
for our success.
The candidates nominated by the State
and District conventions, held in Balti-
more on Wednesday, are placed on the
ticket at the head of our paper this week.
A good deal OF surprise is expressed in
some quarters that Judge Chambers was
not nominated for Judge Of the Court OF
Appeals, but Judge Eccleston is most
acceptable candidate.
A most prominent topic of remark is
the late outrage at Christiana in Lancas-
ter Co., Pa, in which Mr.. Gorsuch OF
this State was killed and his son so Sc
verely wounded, by certain negroes and
their white abettors, for reference to
which see another column. The ex-
pectation that those concerned IN the
outrage will be summarily punished,
prevents any exhibition of peculiar hor-
ror and wrath, but we fear the conse-
quences if they are allowed to escape.
Most certainly, the worst foes to this
Union, to the negro, and to humanity
generally, are those who refuse to OBJ
serve the laws of the land, and assist to
set them at defiance.

Mr.. Edttor:-Two weeks ago, ven.
tured a few remarks upon the effect OF
the Tariff of lS4G, on the value OF the
crop Of wheat grown by }. q. Hewlett,
the present season, and also, upon its
effect on the value of the crop grown in
Mary land, and in the whole Union.
BY the calculation of$1,55 per bushel,
loss-that being the difference in the
price Of wheat, as then shewn, between
the year, 5 years after the passage ofthe
Wing tariff of 1852, and the present
year, 5years after the passage of the To-
cofoco tariff of 1916. The estimate
showed that the apparent loss to the
State of Maryland, was over seren MIL
lions Of dollars, equal to half the State
debt, in that single staple product. The
same estimate showed an apparent loss
to the whole Union of tuo hundrcd and
thirty tDo milltons Of dollars: fully
enough to build double track Railroad
from Baltimore to San Francisco, on the
Pacific via St. Louis, and lick Spanish
Cuba, that piratical nest of freebooters
ana cutthroats into the bargain.
The effect of the tariff of 1916 upon
the Tenant Farmers is particularly hard.
Every tenant who has wheat,reot to
pay loses money. On page 443, Patent
Office Rep. 1913, the cost of raising a
bushel of wheat in Delaware Co.. Pa, is
put down at ) 90; and at page I7l, the
cost is put down at IS cts for Princess
Anne Co., Va. As MARYLAND lies be-
tween those two states we will put down
the cost of raising wheat at SO cts uer
bushel, which is the mean between the
two. | take tie above from Commits
sioner Burke's Report, presuming that
he is considered better authority, with
the Iocolocos, at least, than either nv
own experience or that Of the Tenant
Farmers.
We have assumed SO cents as the av-
erage cost Of rai$ing qgAcQt. But the
Tenant Farmer has to pay from two
ffhs to one-half Of alt he raises for his
rent. From the above it is evident that

TOPICS OF THE WEEK.

The political excitement is on the
increase, and the signs are that we will
have two quite exciting elections. On
next Wednesday week the Congression-
al election takes place. We urge our
friends in all the districts to see that a
full whig vote is out in Cecil on that day
We find on our table the following
announcements:
Editor of Tie Cecil Whig:-Please announce
me as an Independent Candidate for the Office
Of County Commissioner for the Second Election
District of Cecil county.
BENJAMIN F. SLUYTER.
We have not seen Mr.. Sluyter, and
do not know his views and prospects;
we shall keep his name announced IS
requested.
PC. R1cKErrs-Dear Sir II beg lenve most
respectfully to decline the nomination that was
conferred on me by the Wing Convention which
met in Elkton, on the 9th ultim,.
Respectfully, BARCLAY REYNOLDS.
The above card wasreceiv,d from Mr..
Reynolds some two weeks ago, and was
withheld in the hope that h, could be
induced to alter his determination and
consent to serve. He, however, states
that his business arrangements will not
permit him to run for any ohic, at this
time. He is well satisfied with tlE Wing
nominations, and states to us hiSnten-
ton to use his influence for thewhole
ticket. The Wings of the Sixt, Dis
trict will, therefore, in due time elect
another candidate.
A topic Of conversation this week is
the result OF the discussion at the cci-
dental meeting between Evans and Nc
Cullough, referred to by "Peter" inan-
other column. Mccullough was con-
pletel y worsted-he made no show whit
ever. We have seen letter, froma
Democrat who was present, from which
we are permitted to make the followin.
extract.
"Mr. Cooley, in his speech, informed Us,
there was no difference whatever between he
Wing and Democratic parties. As that is ne
case, we reckon, on the whole, il is best to pte
for Mr.. f.; for he has been two sessions in on-
sress and has go, into ''the hang of the rors,"
while Mr.. Nee. is rather green at cgislgion,
and would require considerable time gei
