The fact that our revenues are in cX-
cess of the actual needs of the ecOnomi-
cal administration OF the government
justifes a reduction IN the amount ex-
acted from the people for its support.
our government is but the means estab-
lished by the will of free people by
which certain principles are applied
which they have adopted for their benefit
and protection, and it is never better ad-
mlnisterod, and Its true spirit Is never
better observed, than when the peoples
taxation for Its support Is scrupuluusly
limited to the actual necessity of
expenditure, and distributed accord.
ing 60 a Just and equitable plan.
The proposition with which we have to
deal Is the reduction OF the revenue re-
ceived by the government, aud indirectly
paid by the people, from customs duties
The question of free trade is not included,
nor Is there now any occasion for the
general discussion of the wisdom or eN-
pediency of protective system, Justice
and fairness dictate that In any modltlca-
tion of our present laws relating to reyo-
nue. the industries which have heen en-
couraged by such laws, and In which our
citizens have large Investments, should
not be ruthlessly injured or destroyed
We should also deal with the subject in
such a manner as protectionists OF
American labor, which is the capital Of
our workingmen. Its stability and proper
remuneration furnish the most justiAable
pretext for a protective policy. Within
these limitations a certain reduction
should be made in our customs revenue
The amount Of such reduction having
been determined, the Inquiry follows,
where can IL best he remitted and what
articles can best be released from
duty In the interest OF our citizens2
think the reduction should be made
In the revenue derived from a tax on the
Imported necessaries OF life. We thus
directly lessen the cost OF living in every

TERRITORIAL PRESS TOPICS.

Tho following excellent article from
the editorial columns OF the Salt Lake
Tribune, is SO good We are compelled
to give il u conspicuous place, with
our highest approval. Those who
think Montana Il hard place to make
money and that times are hard in this
Territory, must have had IN excep,
tionally fortunate one here:
"TAo year jnst closed has been pros
porous in Montana beyond anything
evor experienced in its past. 1t justly
boasts the second il not the very first
mining camp in tho world; its output
of gold and silver and copper has been
marvellous: its unequaled pastures
have been TO It's people II bonanza on
top of the ground, and one, too,which

sufficient for its people; it possesses
the very finest ranges in the world,
and of IN extent which is almost inn
measurable; but it, mines are its
chiefest source OF wealth. They arc
something tremendous, and the last
few weeks have established that they
grow rich as they 50 down. The Ter

Deep Creek,

In our first letter from this place
we wrote about the origin of the
name Deep Creek, etc. Now we will
endeavor to give a short sketch of
the surrounding mountains, first set
tiers, etc,
The Meadow Mountain owes its
name to the many beautiful glades
on its western slope. The Negro
Mountain is so called because. after
BraddOck's defeat on the Mononga-
hela, a scouting party travelling the
Braddock Road. came in contact with
a party of Indians, when a skirmish
ensued. in which one Indian was
killed and very large Negro NOR
tally wounded. The Negro was laid
under a rock until the party should
return from their expedition, and
when they returned the following
night, the Negro was still groaning
under the rock but theirf ear of the
Indians was 80 great, that, not daring

More Shedding.
Some of our farmers are hauling
limestone for the season of 1886.
There has been an immense amount

Owing to the scarcity of work and
low wages it is intimated that some

their neighbors' smoke houses and

There is enough for all, and our PEG.

The District Institute held here by
Mr.. Ludwig was we'll attended by
our teachers. Owing to the short no.
tice some of the teachers failed to get
notice in time of the meeting and
hence did not attend. The young
men and ladies in attendance all de-
serve much credit for the interest
manifested. We hope they may
visit US again and again. We all
need little warming up on the edu-
cational question.

Speaking of the vote on the mo-
ton to suspend the coinage of silver,
the New York Tribune says:
A large number of Republicans
would probably have supported the
motion to suspend the coinage of sill
yer, had 1t been offered in a form
worthy of Congress. AS it was,
though Objectionable in form, RepuD-
licans, two to one, voted for it, and
the motion was supported by 11S
members. The proposal to intrust
extraordinary power to an untired
and unknown Democratic President
in this matter was supported by lit
tie more than one-quarter of the
Democratic members. and by more
Republicans than Democrats. Upon
a direct vote to suspend the silver
coinage without conditions, it is prob
able that smaller number of Demo.
Gratis would have voted in the affirm.

A Surprise.

On Thursday night of last week a
number of the members and friends
of the Methodist Church in Oakland
assembled at the church, according
to precOncerted but carefully con-
cealed plan, bringing with them
packages of various articles useful in
any home. These were arranged on
the platform near the pulpit. A del
egation was then sent to invite the
pastor and his wife to the church. In
almost utter ignorance of the whole
matter they were soon in the pres
ence of the noyel spectacle. A brief
presentation address was made by
Rev. j. M. Davis, which was respon-
ded to. Several beautiful songs were
sung by the choir and prayer was of
fered, followed by the doXology and
the benediction.
On pressing invitation to the par
sOnage most of those present came
bearing thither the contributed arti
Giles. A very pleasant hour was
spent socially, after which all took
leave, seemingly pleased, but those
most highly pleased were the family
left in possession of the gifts. On in.
yoicing it was ascertaihed that goods
and money the value of thirty-eight
dollars and a.half had been cOntribu-
ted.

THE BALTIMORE MORNING HERALD
FOR 1885.

The growth ofTHE MORNING HERALD in cir
culatiOn and influence during the yearju
closed has been as remarkable as it is graf
flying. To-day it is recognized as the
SprightlieSt, newsieSt and most e"terpris-
ing paperin the state in its news columns,
and the ableSt, most honest and most fear
less in its editorial utterances. THE MORN
ING HERALD has this reputation because
it has earned it. Whenever any event of
importance happens THE MORNING HER
AID has an account Oft, and generally
better account than any its rivals. This
is costly, but we find that it pays to spend
money laviShly to get news and print ii in
the best form. Whatever THE MORNING
HERALD has to say editorially It says
plainly, neither party affiliations nor per-
sonal feelings avail to secure its endorse
ment ofanything evil, or prevent it speak
ing well of men, measures or things that
deserve to be well spoken of. THE MORN
ING HERALD, although believing in the
Republican party, never allows its allie
glance to party to interfere with its duty
as newspaper THE MORNING HERALD
gives all the news in the most compact
form, but every item gets the space it de-
serves, whether it be a complete page or a
couple Of lines. Its market reports are full
and accurate. THE MORNING HERALD is
the handsomest paper in Maryland, and

finest pine timber, together with
oak, curled maple, birch and chest

land in the county.
The first settlers of this Deep Creek
country were man by the name of
Clouse and Nicholas Friend. Clouse
settled in about 1925, on what is now
known as the Thayer farm, Thayer
coming into possession in 1884, and
is now owned and occupied by Mr.,
Wright Thayer.
Friend settled on what is now
known as the John l.. Browning
farm.
There were quite number of ear
lier settlers than the two mentioned,
namely: John Enlow, Meshach
Browning and others, but their inn
proyements were but temporary, for
use merely as retreats when trapping
and hunting upon these noted noun
tains, and angling along the brakes
of Deep Creek, which is celebrated as
the finest trout stream of the State.
