Communicated
CHADTBERsBURG, Feb. 27.-Colored
men came from every city, town, vii
liage, hamlet and district of the coun:
try and joined the Union Army,
fought, bled and died, they came for
ward and offered themselves before
they were acknowledged to be citi-
zens. AS the negro fought, so has
he voted, but that is not enoagh.
Press forward and claim your place
in the County, State and National
Conventions. The six hundred col
ored voters Of Franklin county,
should be represented in the State
convention by some of their own race.
See to it colored voters, that you send
strong man we'll qualified to look
after your interest. So long as you
leave your interest to be looked after
by others, you will be left behind.
You helped to save the country by
taking the musket in your hand and
going to the front. You with the
ballot in your hand must step to the
front. Look around for good man,
and send them to the State Conven-
ton from Franklin county,and every
other county should do the same.
The election of our borough came
off quietly Tuesday last; there
was but little excitement, but very
large vote was polled. There were
four colored candidates in the field,
William Little, for Constable in the
First ward, was elected; there was
no opposition Edward Thompson
for School Director, was defeated,
John Taylor, for Assessor, was also
defeated Joseph Winters, in the
Fourth ward, independent Republi-
can, for City Council, was defeated.
White Republicans don't vote very
freely for colored candidates. Col
ored voters must learn by sad expe-
rience how and what to do. When
the defeated candidates return from
Salt River, new and better way will
be marked out for the colored voters.
The Salt River party started on the
noon train to day to return in time
for the County Convention. Great
honor was paid to the party as they
left the country. Mayor King, of
Philadelphia, and the Committee of
One Hundred will join the party.

terminate entirely the acoursed rebels
OF our country and murderers of in
nocent people. 1t must ultimately
come to this. We find no rest at
our firesides, nor at our labors. Why
then longer stand and be slaughtered
like beasts of prey? We ask only
for an equal showing. Arm US
equivalently and then we will meet
shot gun to shot gun, rife to rifle,
pistol to pistol, cannon to cannon,
man to man, on an equal plain. After
such an event this trouble will be
settled. We therefore would suggest
that the colored people throughout
the Union at once organize. Speci-
ally in the south would we have the
leading spirits take hold of this mat
ter and effect organizations that will
do them credit. We of the north
will not be found wanting. We are
men and freemen, clothed with the
rights of other beings. and by God
endowed with the power to think
and act. Let us not then longer sub
NIT to be like sheep, driven at will,
but when struck strike back and
with interest. We love our country,
its constitutions and its laws, but we
love our lives and liberty better, and
like other nationalities we must pro-
tect and defend the things that so
vitality concern US. If the constitu-
ton, laws and powers that be are in
adequate to defend US, then we who
are so greatly concerned must form
laws for our own protection. If this
course is adopted it will save the
government the useless expenditure
of thousands, yes millions Of dollars
for annual Investigations, which only
tend to solidify the north against the
south, but does nothing toward pro-
tecting the colored man in his en-
joyment of life, liberty and happiness.
Sound the tocsin along the line that
we may all prepare for selfdefence.

Why we Should have a Delegate
to the State Convention.

Its possible that the colored voters
would have had delegate to the last
State Convention, had it not been for
the fact that they allowed themselves
to be duped by the machine. Various
reasons was given as to why we failed
to get the much desired recognition,
but the truth of it was that the party
leaders did not want us to have it.
This position has been taken by the
party leaders in this county year after
year, and we now serve notice OF
the leaders that the brakes must be
applied, and this kind Of insincerity
stopped. There are numberless rea
sons why we should have a delegate
from this county to the State Con.
ventloD. One reason, 8nd sufficient
one is, the fealty and answering
fidelity of 1900 colored voters to the
Republican party, in this a Republi-
can county. should present a CLAIM
unquestioned and readily acknowled-
ged without further argument. The
leaders say the time has arrived for
us to have this representation and
they are quite willing we should have
it. But they have made these same
assertions before and failed to stand
by them. When accused of insin-
cerity and infdelity they give as q
reason that we could not agree among
ourselves. We claim that we have
the same right to differ as to men we
want from among ourselves as any
other class Of people. Every party
is divided into factions, every faction
urges its claims and invariably the
strongest wins. We don't propose
to be hoodwinked by that argument
any longer. It matters not whether
we agree upon a man or not, we
should not be expected to do what
other people cannot do, and the only
thing left for the party leaders is to
recognize the man who develops the
greatest strength.
In the county convention there will
in all probability be some ten dele,
gates, holding sufficient controlling
power, if properly managed, to de-
mand all that belongs to them, and
it is the indispensable duty Of the
people to see that delegates are Sc
lected who are free from guillability.
The curse of the colored voters of
this county hgs been the men we have
allowed to 60 to the front as our rep
resentatives. The better class have
stood back and allowed themselves
to be misrepresented, and the men
who have bourn the brunt of the
battle have been indiferently treated
as result.

A Cry OF Fire which Came near
having a Serious Result.

Tuesday evening, during the ex-
ercises at Bethel Literary, and just
in the most interesting part of de-
bate, which was the conclusion OF the
evenings programme, a puff of smoke
was discovered as it came up from
the register near the main entrance
TO the building. A strong smell Of
burning paper pervaded the whole
church. At the same time persons
sitting quietly in their seats remarked
of smelling something burning, but
did not think of danger until some
miscreant cried out fire. In mo
ment men, women and children rose
to their feet and made rush for the
one door, the only means OF egress.
From the large crowd present it did
not take long to block up this exit,
thus cutting off about the only means
Of escape, excepting by the windows,
there being four on each side Of the
building. Those on the north side,
opening into a lot belonging to Marsh
bank & Co., and those on the south
side opening on a narrow alley. The
trustees and officers of the church
mounted the seats and endeavored TO
quiet the panic stricken crowd, while
men with cool heads and collected
thoughts prevented those around
them, as much as possible, from rush
ing toward the door The crush at
the entrance still continued, and not
until every yistage of smoke and smell
died away was partial order restored.
The GOODNESS ofseVeral ofthe menpre-
vented serious calamity. J. B. Sam
pie, president of the association, and
Rev. Wilson never left their chairs,
but continually warned the peoplethat
there was no danger. 1t was simply
impossible to get the people seated,
and dismissal amidst confusion fol
lowed the people passing quietly out.
Upon Investigation by Mr.. James
Douglass, one of the trustees, it was
found that some one had either in
tentionally or thoughtlessy dropped a
piece of paper down the register,
which had ignited and caused the
smoke. A serious calamity would
have been the result had flames made
their appearance, as there is but one
entrance to the main floor of the
church, the vestibule being very small
and only reached by narrow flight
Of steps.
A few cans of dynamite distributed
among the southern Democrats would
be the greatest persuasive power in

in the importation Of seed took place,
The falling of is particularly marked dur-
| ing the last septerinum. In the fiscal
year ended June 30. 1875. the importa.
/ ton amounted to 8,479,777 bushels,
valued at $5,722,095, while during 1889
only 698. .762 bushels, Of ths value of
S766. OBS, were entered for consumption /;
falling off OF 50 per cent. in the quan.
tity and S6 in the value, in the short
period of seven years. The immediate
cause OF this great decline in the use of
foreign seed was the large crops in re-
cent years, as already mentioned. The
remote cause was the high rate of duty
that induced western farmers to engage
extensively in the cultivation of flax for
seed.
The beneficial effect of tariff leeisla-
ton upon the growers Of fax seed having
been shown, it is proper, remarks Dr..
Young, to inquire Whist has been the
effect upon the large nfimber of persons
who are consumers Of linseed oil. If,
through the imposition of heavy duty
upon foreign seed, western farmers are
able to obtain higher prices for their
prodnct, it follows according to free
trade theories, that linseed oil of
domestic make, protected in turn BY a
duty OF thirty cents per gallon, must be,
to that extent, at least, enhanced in price
to consumers. Turning from free trade
theories to the stern logic of fact and
figures. We present the Wholesale prices
of oil during nearly half century.
The average price of linseed oil during
the year 1886 was 81 10, and in 1886 from
Sl.02 to 81 O3 per gallon. In the latter
year large oil mill commenced the
crushing of fax seed in New York, and
the price destined thereafter as follows:
In 1887 the average was 821@ cents, and
in the decade '837-lS46 slightly under
so cents. The average price IN gold dur
ing the decade 1865 1874 was about 8815
cents. From 1875 to 1880 the price
ranged from 67 to 81 cents In February,
1881, the price was only Sc cents, and
the average in New York during the
year 1881 was 58.8 cents. For the fifty
six years ended in 1881 the average price
was 1913 cents; the percentage Of price
in 1881 to the average prices of fiftY.eix
years was only "a per cent. At the
present time the wholesale price in New
York is ffty.four to fifty FIVE cents
per gallon for city, and ffty-three
for western. The price. there.
fore. in recent years, instead of being en-
hanced by the amonnt of the duty was
considerably lower-less than three.
fourths of the average-proving incon-
testably that protective legislation on
fax seed and on fax seed oil benefited
both producer of seed and consumer of
oil, despite all theories to the contrary.
Another effect of the protective duty
is shown in the diminished imports OF
linseed oil. The imports amounted to
l,5l3,117 gallons IN 1850, and l. .243, ,O35 in
1856. but gradually diminished to 6887s
iu 1874, to 38.535 in 1875, to 8, ,4Os in 1876
to 3 1863 in 1877, to 6,66l in 1873, to 4,47(
in 1879, to 1892 in 1881, and to 1851 il

PROTECTION A BENEFIT.

An Illustration Which Can be Readily
Comprehe"ded by the Flax Growers of
this Section.
In letter to the president of the
Association of American Economists, the
recording secretary-Dr. Edward Young
-conclusively proves by facts and
figures that protective legislation not
only benefits the farmer by creating .
home market for tax seed, but despite o
duty on linseed oil, has greatly lowered
the price OF that commodity to the con-
sumer.
In colonial times. and in the early
years of the republic, flax was grown
largely for the fber.and the seed was ex-
ported to Great Britais and elsewhere.
During the forty years from 1889 to 1929
the average yearly export of tiax seed
was more than 250,00O bushels; but as
oil mills became more generally
established farmers found o remunera.
tive market for their seed at home.
The demand for linseed oil
gradually increased with the popnla.
ton, becoming SO great that the seed
was imported in large quantities, chiefly
from thy East Indies, aud at less cost
than thas OF home production. As a
measure Of protection duty Of twenty
per cent was imposed on fax seed Of for
eign growth in 1646, bnt reduced to fifteer
per cent. in 1857; that no linseed was
through ignorance, admitted at ten pei
cent. IN l846. and IN 1857 free. In 1891
this error was corrected, and the duty
