An Outrage.

The election in Baltimore next Tuesday will
be hindered by $50 United States Supervisors
of elections and 1000 Special Deputy United
States Marshals. These 1860 Federal officers
are to work around the polls to throw obsta-
cles in the way of Democrats, and to bring
out the Republican vote, one half of which is
composed of negroes. In addition to these
all the Custom House and Post Office officers
and employees will be on hand to do their
part, and an army of Federal officers about
1000 strong will do their utmost to stife the
voice of the people and secure a Republican
triumph.
The Democrats of that city should not toll
crate any fraud or interference, and be pre-
pared to secure their rights on election day.
The presence of this army of office-holders
should determine every Democrat in Balti-
more to turn out and vote. Not only should
the Democrats of Baltimore turn out, but the
Democrats of Carroll also. If the Republican
party is not hurled from power, we may ex-
pect Federal Supervisors to be appointed in
Carroll. A vote for Talbot is vote against
this Federal interference with State elections.

Bear in Mind.

Bear in mind the fact that the Board OF
County School Commissioners is appointed
by the Judges of the Circuit Court in each
county. This is a matter of great Importance
to Republicans and a reason why they should
be careful to vote for Stockett, Smith and
Brewer.
The above is from the Annapolis Gazette,
the Republican paper of Anne Arundel county
If it means anything, it means that if Stockett,
Smith and Brewer are elected the County
School Boards will cease to be nonpartisan,
and will be wholly Republican. 1t means,
also, that school trustees and teachers will all be
Republicans as in the days of Radicalism, and
that the Public School System will be broken
down by partisanship. The system in Carroll
is out of politics, and if the people would keep
it so they must vote for Miller, Henning and
Jones.

RESOLUTIONS of Respect.

At the annual celebration OF the Marheius-
burg Sunday School, held here last Saturday,
the following preamble and resolutions were
nassed on the death of Rein +. Albert, It's
late superintendent: ~
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an ALI WISE PROV
idence. in His inscrutable wisdom, to remove
from our midst our late brother and Superin-
tendent. one we all looked up to for counsel,
and received the same with reverence and
respect; kind friend, generous companion
and an honest man; therefore
ResoIred, That we bow in humble submls-
sion to Him who doeth all things well, for he
hath said, "Well done thou good and faithful
servant; thou hast been faithful over few
things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord:

right manhood and the many qualities Of
heart, which in all his intercourse with Us
commend him to our admiration and friend

Resolred, That we sympathize with the at
flicted family of our late brother and Superin
tendent, in this their hour of trial and grief.

A rote for Miller, Henning and Jones IS a
,ote against negro bailifs in the Courts.
Protective Tariffs.

Protective tariffs help the laboring man,
say the advocates of such tax. How? By
putting up the price of goods, the manufac-
turer is enabled to pay higher wages. Just
SO. But $500 under protective tariff will
not buy more than Sl.0O would if the protec-
tive tariff were removed. By reducing the
price on goods, by repeating the tariff laws,
the mechanic would make as much at S1.OO a
day as he does now at $500, and the laboring
man and farmer, whose wages are not in
creased in proportion to the price of protected
goods, would be able to buy about twice as
much for his money as he does now. Besides,
protective tariffs cause over production OF
goods, and about three months of year, ON
an average, the operatives in manufactures
are thrown out of employment, thus reducing
their wages one-fourth.

Federal Taxes.

Every man, woman and child pays an aver
age of nine dollars year to support the Fed
eral government. There are no collectors to
gather up the money, but the money is gather
ed by indirect means This is done, too, when
the needs of the government do not require it.
Notwithstanding the great extravagances,
there will be collected this year $3.50, 100000
more than is required. This surplus becomes
the prey of jobbers and spectators, and all
sorts of means are devised to get it out Of the
treasury.
If the amount exacted from the people
through custom duties and protective tariffs
are considered, the average for each man,
woman and child would be appalling. Every
cigar is taxed by the government, and the tax
is added by the manufacturer to the cost OF the
cigar. Every pound of tobacco is taxed.
There is tax on your coat, your hat, your
shirt, your shoes, your cotton towels, your
dishes, your knives and forks, your salt and
pepper, your sugar; tax on your collars
brides, plows, harness, cultivators and even
your Bibles the calico dress as we'll as the
finest silk, pays a tax. These taxes, collect
ed indirectly, are not severely felt. If they
we're collected as state and county taxes are,
the Republican party would go out of power
the length and breadth of the country within
twelve months.
If protective tariffs were removed $l4 plow
could be bought for about SO; $40 coat for
about Sc. so; a 81 pair of shoes for about $l.30,
and so on. This protective tariff does not
bring any revenue to the government. 1t
goes to the manufacturer.
Does any man in Carroll county think ii
right for the government to collect $3.50, O0O,-
600 annually more that it needs? Certainly
not, and vote for Mr.. Talbot is a vote
against the imposition. The next House Of
Representatives will be Democratic. If the
Senate be Democratic, too, and there is O
prospect that it will be, these taxes will be
greatly reduced. Not only will the $50, 900,
600 surplus annually be saved, but some thirty
or forty millions of dollars more will be saved
Does any man in Carroll county think thai
the people should be taxed to make million
aires of manufacturers? Certainly not, and (
vote for Talbot is vote against protective
tariffs.

Federal Supervisors.

Federal Supervisors of Election have been
appointed to supervise the election in Anne
Arundel county by Judge Bond of the United
States Court These Supervisors are not
needed, and the act warranting their appoint
ment is unconstitutional. Such interference
by the government with state matters is an
outrage which every lover of civil liberty
should rebuke by his ballot. The people owe
it to themselves to put their seal ofcondemna-
ton upon this interference. These Supervi-
sors are not appointed in the interest OF free
and fair elections, but to intimidate and awe
the people and to uphold the Republican
party.
Not only will the Democrats have to con-
tend against these federal officials, whose
presence at the polls is an insult to the people,
but they will have four thousand straight Re
publican ballots cast against them by four
thousand negroes.
These are the main reliance of the Repub-
Hcan candidates for Judges. Without these
Federal Supervisors, and the four thousand
negro voters, Stockett, Smith and Brewer
would be defeated by fully five thousand.
VIII the people allow negroes, marshaled by
federal supervisors, to choose their judiciary?
Let them answer at the polls.

Here is a statement showing few of the
burdens of the farmer: Under the Republican
tariff he rises in the morning, puts on his COM
mon flannel shirt taxed 95 per cent. ; his coat,
taxed 81 per cent. shoes, taxed 30 per cent.
and hat, taxed go per cent. takes the water
from bucket, taxed 35 per cent. and washes
his face and hands in tin bowl, taxed 30 per
cent dries them on cheap cotton towel
taxed As per cent He sits down to his humble
meal and eats from plate taxed so per cent.
with knife and fork taxed 95 per cent. drinks
his coffee with sugar taxed 68 per cent. sea-
sons his food with salt taxed 90 per cent.
pepper, taxed 81 per cent. He looks around
on his wife and children all taxed in the same
way; takes a chew of tobacco taxed l99 per
cent or lights q cigar taxed 11S per cent.
And, SIR even the sunlight from heaven that
pours into his humble dwelling must come
through window-glass taxed SO per cent, and
vet he thinks he lives in the freest government
under heaven. Then he starts to work puts
a bride taxed IS per cent. on his horse, and
takes his horse that has been shod-the nails
used in shoeing being taxed SO per cent.
driven by a hammer taxed 20 per cent.-and
bitches him to a pillow taxed As per cent
with chains taxed So per cent. and after the
davis labor is closed and his family are all
gathered around, he reads chapter from his
Bible taxed % per cent. and kneels to God on
an humble carpet taxed 81 per cent. and then
he rests his wearied limbs on sheet taxed 45
per cent. and covers himself with blanket
that has paid 1O4 per cent. Nor do these
grasping manufacturers stop here, but even the
broom with which his good wife sweeps the
floor is taxed 80 per cent. and the cooking
vessels used in preparing her husband frugal
meal are taxed 42per cent. and the soda used
to tighten his bread taxed SO per cent. She
sits down to her sewing with needle taxed
25 per cent and spool of thread taxed IA
per cent to make calico dress taxed So per
cent or if she wishes to knit warm socks to
protect her husband and children from the
bitter cold she uses yarn taxed 100 per cent. !;
and thus daily and hourly must the hard earn
ings of the laborer go to satisfy the manutac-
turer and add to his ill-gotten wealth.

To the Voters Of the Second Congressional
District SO long as we are subject to appe-
tites, degrees of hunger, passions, aches, pains,
torments, disease and death, we must have
government and various forms of such upon
earth. | therefore announce myself as can
didate in the Second Congressional District,
to be voted for by the dear people on the
principle that physical labor is as good as
mental work, or the two must go together in
order to the continuation of any government,
especially this Republic of America. Conse-
quently shalllo look to the press for some help,
and will say to the Farmers | will canvass the
district after the election, if elected, and tell
all how to farm and live in the pursuit of hap
piness without so much hard and degrading
labor. You are aware this government can
not stand unless labor can do part of its own
work that is, there must be some incentive
for people to educate themselves in order to
be capable to hold some of the most important
offices under the government. For instance
if there were no persons in this republic but
laborers how would it work?

chickens belonging to Bum out of one OF his

A singular continuance for evading the local

apparently but wall of sheet iron before
them. The proprietor was fined 500 and
costs in each of the three cases against him.

were consumed. All the live stock and farm
ing implements were e oo saved. The ,l loss
amounting to about 81, 900, Is nearly covered
by insurance in the Mutual Company, of Fred

taneous combustion of the hay.

Deadly Fireworks.

The coroner's investigations into the cause
of the death of the seven persons who were
killed in Paramount Park, Philadelphia, by
the explosion of a mortar while pyrotech-
mic display was in progress on Tuesday even
ing of last week, brought out some facts which
are calculated to make people somewhat timid
about attending exhibitions of this character
The victims of the disaster were seated on a
hill about 800 yards distant from the enclnss-
ure In which the mortars were being served. !;
in fact they were SO far away that Prof. Sharf-
know that any one had been hurt until 2
o'clock the next morning. A large fragment
of the mortar went whistling through the air
with the velocity of q cannon ball. Mrs;
Coaklee, one of the victims, had just changed
seats with her husband, who was in delicate
health. and to shield him from the wind had
placed herself in front of him. The next in
slant her head was knocked off by the flying
missile.

Judge John e. Smith on the Demo-
cratic Party.

Judge John E. Smith was member OF the
MARYLAND constitutional convention OF 1864,
and took an active part in framing the odlous
Constitution which was swept away as soon as
the letters fastened upon them by the Repub-
lican party were removed from the people.
Judge Smith then made record OF which he
is proud, and no doubt rejoices in his acts
and utterances during its sessions. On page
ASP of VOL of the Debates of that conven-
ton, he is thus reported
"Down to 1860, the power of the govern
ment was in the hands of the Democracy, a
name which has done more harm, a party
which has perpetrated more wrongs than any
other which has ever existed In this or any
other land, in my best and candid OPINION.
On page 1745 of Vol. III. of the same De-
hates. we find that Judge Smith said
sIf entertained in my heart the sentiments
which / know are ranking in the bosoms OF
men in mn county and throughout the state,
the blush of shame would mantle my cheek,
and should feel like felon if should dare
to offer to vote in the state of Maryland"
The above was uttered when Judge Smith
did not think a Democrat should be permitted
to vote, and at time when thousands OF
Democrats were disfranchised throughout the
state. 1t was during the time, Democrats OF
Carroll, when you were insulted and driven
from the polls. Then he thought that only
Democrats with the feelings of ateton would
have dared to offer to vote.
Judge Smith is the Republican candidate
for Associate Judge of this circuit. His party
is in minority in the district, and if he is
elected it must be by the votes of Democrats
he so much hated.
But, Judge Smith some twelve years later
is on record as bitter hater of Democrats.
He was not at all softened between 1864 and
1876. In fact his bitterness and hatred in
creased. In the latter year he made speech
at Porter's Cross Roads, this county, which
was considered so good that it was reported
for the american Sentinel, of this city, and it
was published with strong editorial endorse
ment. From that speech is the following ex-
tract:
"What the Democrats dom t want is an hon
if you are Republican you will have your
middle name left out but if you are Demo
crat you can register without being naturalized
or without name. AS class there is not a
meaner set this side of hell"
In the same speech Judge Smith spoke of
the whole Democratic party as "hell-hounds. y
If Judge Smith is elected on the 7th OF
November it must be by the votes of those
whom he terms "hell hounds"
