span of blacks ran away. The sleigh was jerked
entirely over wagon which stood near the store,
with the sleigh sometimes on its runners and
sometimes on the side. The horses at last became
fastened between two trees in Mr.. Turner'S
woods, and when captured, strange to say, not a
splinter was broken from the sleigh. The scenes
here must have left the Bel Air Carnival in the

The United States Senate, last Saturday,
discussed the bill providing for the appoint
ment of a new cabinet officer, to be called the
Secretary of Agriculture" The project is
one of doubtful propriety. We fear it would
turn out to be merely scheme to provide
situations for the relatives and friends of
congressman, and that the farmers of the
country would reap but little benefit from it.
Instead ofcreating new government bureau,
let the farmers of the country unite in filling
some of the representative offices with
farmers. Their interests might then be better
protected than they are now.

The stockholders oftbe Frederick count

The stockholders of the Frederick county
agricultural society, at their recent annual
meeting, passed resolutions prohibiting gamb-
ling and the sale of liquor on their fair
grounds. 1t has for some years been re-
proach to the Hartford county society that
these things have been allowed at their an
nual fairs. The prohibitory liquor law will
put stop to the sale of liquor at our fair
next year, and the directors should refuse to
grant permission for any kind of gambling
devices The money received by the society
from these things will not compensate for
the harm they may do.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION REPoRT-It is
mission will not be passed by Congress this
session, and it ought not be passed. Senator
Beck conclusively shows that instead of re-
ducing tariff taxation it increases the burden
in the interest of manufacturers who them
selves dictated the rates inserted by the COM
mission in their report. For example, by
several artfully -contrived provisions the tariff
on iron and steel is made actually prohbito-
ry A material which to-day costs $50 per
ton free on board ship is to have its price
raised 224 per cent, and on bllets worth $50
per ton the tax will be $3.50 or more The
duty on cotton ties, now $14 ton, is to be
raised to $1,000 per ton-from 50 to 1876 per
cent. On barbed wire fence material the
duty is raised from 50 to over so per cent
On the rods of which chains are made the
duty is doubled. Senator Beck shows the
fallacy of the argument that high tariff
means high wages for labor. Throwing out
the youths and children, the average wages
of the labor employed in manufacturing the
material so highly protected by the tariff is
little more than 81 n day, while the aborer
is compelled to pay, in consequence of the
high tariff, from so to 100 per cent. more than
he ought to pay on every imported article he
uses.
The tariff needs fairer and more equitable
revision than the commission appears to have
given it. Struggling American industries
should of course be protected against ruinous
foreign competition, but the interests of the
consumers should at the same time be con-
sidered

The Montgomery County Farmers' Con.
yentiOn.

The annual convention of Montgomery
county farmers was held at Sandy Springs.
on Tuesday. One hundred and fifty farmers
were present. Mr.. Henry G. Hallowell one
of the most enlightened and successful prac-
tical farmers of the State, presided. The
convention consisted of representatives
of four farmers clubs. These clubs are COM
posed, one of elderly men, and dates back to
1916; one is of middle.aged men, one of
mature men and one of young men. A num-
Der of excellent papers which were read gave
the experience of the writers in various de-
partments of agriculture, all of them being
marked by sound sense and a familiar prac
teal knowledge of the subjects treated.
Mr.. Hallowell called particular attention
to the imperative need of taking care o.
forests. To the destruction of trees in the
old world he attributed the disastrous floods
which have spread ruin and distress over SO
large part of territory in Italy, Austria,
France and Germany. While the forests re-
main the loose loan, two or three feet deep,
holds the rainfall until it may be slowly car
ried off by the streams. When the land has
been stripped ofthe trees the rainfall is carried
off directly, and torrents. destruction and
distress follow in the train. Mr.. Hallowell
instanced the introduction of the system of
ensilage as one of the practical results of the
Montgomery county farmers convention
Ensilage, indeed, claimed large part of the
attention of the meeting. No one present
who had tried it found fault with it,
The subject of Chicago dressed beef also
claimed attention. The convention voted
that dressed beef from the West would have
no injurious effect on the business of fattening
cattle in Montgomery county. Those who
spoke against the Western beef said three
grades of beef were sent to the market from
the West. The first went to Europe, the
second to Boston and New York, and the
third-the worst-te this part of the country.
Mr.. B. II. Miller thought that the use Of
ensilage would enable Maryland dairymen to
compete with Western diaries, and that the
same article of food would equip them to
compete with Western fat cattle.
The sense of the convention was strongly
expressed in favor of more safety gates at
railway crossings of county roads, also in
favor of protecting sheep husbandry.
A number of minor subjects were also dis
cussed.

limited to twenty firms, whose combined pack
last season was about 300 900 cans. By the great
care they have exercised to have none but prime
goods sold under their brand, they have already
gained n wide and enviable reputation. Though
some new firms will doubtless be admitted to
Association the coming season, yet they are OPP
posed to an indefinite increase, as close and
equal inspection would be much more difficult,
and inferior goods might be thrown on the
market The Association also would be much
more unwieldy. 1t is now pure democracy
all the firms can readily attend the meetings and
business affecting the organization is harmo-
niously transacted"
