wage total increased $142, 100000. 1t
VIII be remembered that this was be-
lore the passage of the Morrill, tariff,
when the country was at peace. A
decade of protection followed and
what was the result? The total
manufacturing capital increased dur
ing that decade $1,1O9. 100000 or
two and three-guarter times the in
crease from 1850 to 1860. The wage
total increased 1897 ,OOO, 900, or two
and half times the increase from
1850 to 1860. The advantages of
protective decade oyer that of de-
cade of free-trade are sufficiently
striking. Comment is superfuous
when it is considered that this great
Increase of product and wealth was
made while the country was under
going a war, the most disastrous of
modern times.
From 1870 to 1880 the capital in
vested increased S672, OOO, OOO, or thirty
three per cent. more than it increas-
ed from 1850 to 1860. The total pro-
duct increased S1,137, 900, 900, or rs
per cent. more than it increased from
185Ot to 1860. The total wage increased
Sl72,OOO, 900, or 20 per cent, more
than it increased from 1850 to 1860.
During this decade there was the
great panic which grew out of the
civil war, and yet the progress of
development went on despite this,
and the result is, as may be seen,
even a greater endorsement for the
Republican policy of protection than
that produted by the preceding de-
cahe.
There is nothing in these figures
for the friends of protection to evade.
If they are eyaded at all it is because

pense to the county, but time and
space forbid the further mention oft.
If we adopt local option, however.
crime and pauperism will decrease,
officers fees and court expenses will
be reduced, followed by correspond
ing reduction of taxes. This assertion
is not without foundation, it is based
upon the history of other counties in
the State ; the effect local option has
had in counties where it has been
tried. upon II comparison of their con-
diti0n before and since its adoption,
and upon comparison of the stats.
tics of the counties where it prevails
with those in which the license sys-
tenn is in force.
Mr.. G. S. Griffith, President of
the Maryland Sunday School Union,
shows by statistics that the percent
age of commitments, criminal bust
messy In license counties Is nearly
three times as great as in local option
counties.
But see the result in local option
counties: In Worcester county. in
one year after the law was in force,
the States Attorney stated that his
fees went down from $1,000 or $500
per annum to $500.
A similar statement WAS made by
the States Attorney of Talbot coun-
ty. In the latter eighteen months
after the law went into effect, the
Sheriff said "he could now go ani
live on his farm, there was nothing
to do about the Jail, and that this vas
the result of local option" In Gro
line county in August, 1882, there
were no persons in Jail ard the Sher-
iff stated "that local option was the
cause, and made it very poorbusi-
ness for SheriffS, rs there Was little
or no money in it now, and the posi-
ton was hardly worth having" In
Dorchester county the ClerF of the
Court says that "since its enforcement
the expenses Of the Court mad been
reduced to about one half In Kent
county the States Attorney stated
that "the law had reducedhis income
one-third." In Calvert county cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun in
1877, said: "The good effect of the
law is seen in the improved industry
Of the people. &C. The Office Of jailor
is almost a sinecure he is fast becom-
ing gentleman of leisure. The bust
ness of the Court is growing less, &C."
In other counties the effect is the same,
but we cannot call attention to them
specially now. Enough has been said

option, we not only vote Tor the re-
moval of blightIng curse, and for
protection to our homes, safety to

but also vote for good order in our

tiun of taxes and a financial saving

Give Them the Figures.

A Boston free-trade organ, in at
tempting to prove that protection
sInoihered to death the inventive &c.
MUS of the country, made the asser-
ton that in all their argument the
friends of protection evaded a COM
parison between the eras of ree.trade
and protection. The assertion is as
false as the position it attempts to
prove is ridiculous. The statistics of
the two eras in this country are not
so eloqently in favor of free.trade,
but that the friends of protection
may not quote them. IF we remem-
Der correctly. Mr.. Blaine did not
evade them either in his letter of &C.
ceptaDce or in his speeches to the
voters Of Ohio. He quoted copi0us.
