Free Trade for Farmers |"

In view of the fact that twenty-five
years ago, under a Democratic low
tariff law-as the Trenton IN, J.)
Gazette truly affims-"farm products
were often dumped into the New
York docks because there was no.
body to buy them," how can any in
telligent farmer hesitate in giving
his sole allegiance to the Republican
policy of protected production? Dem.
ocratic free trade would inevitably
destroy the home market, which is
not only the market wherein is sold
nine-tenths of American agricultural
produce, but is the market where the
producer gets the best prices for his
produce. Free trade would cut the
American farmers throat both WAYS.
because it would not only destroy
the home market by driving from
manufacturing and depending indus
tries millions of Consumers of farm
produce, but it would force those
millions who are now the farmers

Democratic laundering !

Nearly fifty years ago the Demo-
cratic party declared that State laws
for the protection of the institution of
slavery were and must remain para
mount to laws of the general govern
ment but where is the doctrine of
the "Higher Law" to-day?
Thirty years ago the Democratic
party announced that "sIayery is the
cnrnar-Stona of nr. I'~r. -.Iif~"n InoIG-
tutions." Where is slavery to-day I?
Twenty years ago the Democratic
party insisted that secession is an
inalienabIe right" Where is that
pernicious doctrine to-day?
Seventeen years ago the Demo-
cratic party declared that the debt
piled up by Democratic rebellion
would never be paid yet it has been
reduced nearly one. half up to to-day !!
Seventeen years ago the Democratic
party protested that the Nation, I'M
der Republican rule, would be bank
rupted; yet behold its prosperity
to-day!
Twenty years ago the Democratic
party Illuminated and voted almost
solidly against the Republican green
backs as an unconstitutional issue
yet see how they love them TODAY
Thirteen years ago the Democratic
party went solidly, in Congress and
out, against the public credit act vet
see where that credit stands today
Seven years ago the Democratic
party went solidly, in and out of Con-
gress, against the resumption act
and year later they tried to kill the
resumption day clause yet specie
payments have been resumed to the
great benefit of the Republics indus
tries to-day!
These are only few of the MANY
equally palpable blunders which the
Democratic party has been guilty of
during its recent history, and which,
if it had the power, it would repeat,
with variations, to-day.

Judge Alvey, on the 10th of Febru-
ary, 1876, in his letter to the General
Assembly of Maryland relative to
the appointment of school commits
sioners, uses the following strong and
explicit language:
"Hereqfter shall feel naySeG justi-
fed IN decijnj1Q to participate IN maxi
ina such appointments"
This letter was referred to the Com
mittee on Education in the House of
Delegates, and in their report they
entirely ignored Judge Alvery's sug
gestiOns. The fact remains, as shown
by the public records, that he has
not participated in any ofthe appoint
ments of school commissioners from
that day TO this.
What action will he take with ref
erence to the resolution of the Garrett
county convention which selected the
delegates who voted for Judge AL
vey's denomination in this city last
Thursday? The resolution was as
follows:
"ResOlred, That we shall expect
our chief judge, if elected, to partici-
pate in the appointment Ofthe school
commissioners as the law now stands
upon the statute book of our State"
Do not existing obligations require
that Judge Alvey should respond to
this action of the Democratic cOnven-
ton by stating explicitly whether or
not in the event of his election he
will reverse his previous determine
ton and action in regard to the APP.

it comes to the election, and many of
the friends of Judge Bnuic have ten

from Montgomery county yesterday
stated that all hope of Mr.. Peter car.
rying the county is past. His close
Identification with the canal ring for
many years past precludes the posi-
biIity of his bringing out even IA re-
spectacle vote, and many Democrats
have become so much alarmed that
they advocate a withdrawal of Mr..
Peter, as they fear his candidacy is
certain to involve the defeat CT Judge
John A. Lynch. The fight against
Mr.. Peter in Frederick county will be
more antagOnistic than when he OPP

Will Judge Alvey run for Congress

Will Judge Alvey run for Congress
in the Sixth district? Some of his
friends say that if he thought he could
win in the Senatorial contest in 1886
he would go into the fight without
hesitation. 1t would seem, however,
that the judge was too old bird to be
caught with German chaff.-BdLtO.

The judge may conclude he has no
chance for the judgeship, and prefer
to run for Congress in the hope of

would inevitably be his defeat for

This troupe viii be in Lake Charles
Monday, and at night viii present the
celebrated play "Coloncl Mulberry
Sellers" al Fricke's Opera House to
our piay-going people. The Dallas
(Texss) Herald has this to say Of the
Mabel Norton troupe:
The Mabel Norton troupe drew an
other large audience last evening at
Craddock's Opera Honse 10 witness
their presentation of the now eelebrat-
ed play Of Colonel Mulberry Sellers. "
Nearly al the theatre-goers have seen
Colonel Sellers in the best of hands,
and have heartily enjoyed that eccen-
trio and visionary gentleman's bound
lessness Of hopelessness of hope and
comprehensive grasp Of mind, but the
picture on the stage is ever entertain
ing and amusing. The large audience
at the Opera House last evening seem
cd to be thoroughly satisfied with the
Mabel Norton company's Sellers a. a
whole, and particularly Mr.. Cotton's
conception and presentation of the
leading character The public may
patronize them with the assurance that
it will see and hear something much
above the average on our southern
stage.

Prom Mr. c. p. Hampton, The
burning of whose saw mill was chron-
iClea last week, we learn that his loss
is about $4,000. Mr.. Hampton began
operations last January, and had just
reached that point when, be would
have been at no further expense save
those usually attached 10 the running
of saw-mili. All necessary machinery
had been purchased, buildings COM
pleted, and his prospects for dong a
lucrative business were fattering. He
carried no insurance and consequently
everything is total loss. Mr.. II. is a
thorouglgoing business man, and
takes his reRerses as philosophicaIly as
possible under the circumstances, hay-
ing an abiding faith in his ability,
with fare chance, TO pull through
and surmount all obstacles. The Echo
is glad TO be able to state that he has
already commenced to rebuild and ex-
poets to be running by the 18th of
January.
