Begging the Question.

The Frederick Examiner challenged COM
parison of the condition of Republican and
Democratic counties, supposing such COM
parison would more than Offset the difference
of taxation in those counties. The average in
Democratic counties is very considerably
lower than in counties controlled by Repub-
licans, and the Examiner intimated that roads,
schools, public buildings and the condition OF
the people was better in Republican counties
than in Democratic The ADVOCATE took up
the Examiners article and compared Freder-
lex and Carroll, showing that Carroll was
equal to Frederick in all respects, and that
our tax rate was much lower. The ErdDalneT
had nothing to say in reply, although the
ADVOCATE several times referred to the Er-
aminer' s article. The Montgomerian, of Rock
vile, had paragraph recently, stating that
while the tax rate was S1.05 in Montgomery,
it was only 83a in Frederick. This so de-
lighted the Examiner that it republished the
article, and added a request that the Sentinel,
of this city, copy. The Sentinel will no
doubt contain the paragraph this morning.
1t shows nothing, however. Carroll and
Frederick are alike in soil and there is a
great similarity in population. They are the
two that are more alike than any other coun-
ties in the state, are contiguous, and the
proper ones for comparison. There IS con-
siderable difference between Frederick and
Montgomery, both in soil and population, al
though they lie adjoining. That Frederick
has lower tax rate than Montgomery does
not alter the fact that the average tax is much
lower in Democratic than in Republican
counties; and if comparison be made be-
tween Democratic Carroll and Republican st.
Mary's, it will reveal greater difference than
is shown between Frederick and Montgomery.
Carroll and Frederick are the counties for
comparison, Mr.. Examiner, and it is fact
that with tax 16 cents on the 500 lower
Carroll is the equal in all respects to Fred
erick.

1t is now proposed that the surplus revenue
in the United States treasury be divided out
among the several states. There should be
no considerable surplus revenue in the treas
ury Congress has no right to tax the people
beyond the needs of the government, and the
government should be administered upon the
most economical basis. All excess is simply
robbery. There are in the treasury about
sixty millions of dollars more than the gov
eminent has any legitimate use for, and il
economy were practised the sum would eX-
coed hundred millions. The reason of this
excess is, that a Republican Congress lays
high duties on imports in order to foster mo-
nopolies and favored manufacturers.

The Westminster AdCOcdte took occasion
not long since to demonstrate with other coun-
ty journals, that had seen fit to push the
Hagerstown Mail to the wall and show editor
Bell how utterly groundless, idle and untrue
were the assertions derogatory to the good
conduct of the Democratic party he is accus-
toned to make, by urging that the INdlt is no
longer recognized as a Democrat paper, and
therefore its utterances are no longer entitled
to notice. 1t impressed us that there was
some force in this commentary OF the AatO-
cate; and hence We were not a little surprised
to find that paper devoted its leading editorial
last week to the important fact that the Hagers-
town Mail which used to be unfriendly to
another State journal, when the latter oppos-
ed Mr., VIM. T. Hamilton, now manltestS
much regard for the aforesaid other journal
since the latter has Topped over and turned
to praising William T. physician, heal
myself" -Port Tobacco Times.
The ADVOCATE did not undertake to COM
bat or answer the unimportant articles OF the
Mail, as other Democratic journals had then
been doing. The article referred to in the
BdLtimorean was an answer to the Hagers-
town Mail, the Mail and BaItimoredn then
having controversy over the course OF the
Governor. The two papers were so intimate
" associated that we could not refrain from
mentioning the Mail whilst noting the change
in the BaLimorean, and we are not amenabIe
to the charge of inconsistency, because we
wasted no space in argument with the Nal.
We are glad to note that the Mail is being
passed in silence by the Democratic press,
except the Hagerstown Ne,os, which has been
giving the old scod and the Governor pretty
fine dressing The Ners can and ought to
take care of the Mail.

The regular meeting of the Western Nail
Association was held in Pittsburgh on We'd
nesday. 1t was decided to suspend opera
tons in all factories for month, beginning
next Monday, to prevent any depression IN
prices Just so. Protective tariffs ensure
large profits and stimulate production.
When over production is imminent cessa-
ton of manufacture is agreed upon, and the
operatives are thrown out of employment I'M
til the stock on hand is nearly all disposed OF.
Protection, say the advocates of such system,
benefits the laboring man by enabling manu-
facturers to pay high wages. But they don't
take into account such stoppages as that above
noted, when operatives are obliged to be idle
At best, notwithstanding the large profits OF
the manufacturers, the wages do not enable
the operatives to much more than live, and
when month cessation occurs, the year 5
total of wages are greatly lessened. Protec-
ton is unjust alike to producer and consumer.
