Dear virgie is from our household gone,

Her place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filed.

For her, so loved, so missed, who now
In dreamless quiet sleeps.
God in His wisdom has recalled
The boon His love has given,
And altho the body moulders here,

GREAT DEMOCRATIC VICTORY
Every Ward Goes Democratic

The election in Baltimore on Wednesday
was for members of the First Branch of the
City Council, one for each of the twenty
wards, and the Democrats elected their can
didate in each, making the First Branch SOL
idly Democratic. Wards that for some years
have elected Republicans or Independents,
on Wednesday chose regular Democrats.
The total vote cast was 1873, of which
3d. 69 were Democratic and 1854 opposi-
ton, including Republicans, Independent
Democrats, Industrial, and Independents OF
all kinds The Democratic majority was
nearly 10000, and the general result was a
clean sweep of the city.
The majority for the loan to take up the
Indebtedness of the Western Maryland rail-
road was carried by over 5000, and the ma
jority for the loan to improve the city water
works was about the same.

Speaker Carlisle states that as an actual
fact the Democratic party during its first
fiscal year, ended June, 1886, has abso-
lutely reduced the expenditures of the
government up,eards Of serenteen millions
Of dollars when compared with the last
year of Republican rule, this notwithstand-
ing an increased expenditure of seven mil
lions for pensions to Union soldiers The
fact is, the appropriation bill which passed
the House at the last session was about
two hundred and forty-seven millions OF
dollars, but was increased by the Repu6h-
can Senate by over thirteen millions. AT
ter protracted struggle in the conference
committee of the two houses the Demo
cratic party reduced that Republican in
crease to three millions.

What is in the Contest.

Hampered by Civil Service law that
prevents the removal of enemies and the
appointment of those in sympathy with its
principles and policy, and with hostile
Senate, it is surprising that, the Cleveland
Administration has accomplished as much
as it has in correcting abuses and reforming
the government. There can be no thorough
reformation until the Democratic party is
in absolute control of every department of
government. The results this fall will de-
termine whether the Democratic party is
to go forward and fully restore to its
former simplicity, honesty and econo-
my, or whether the Republican party will
gain that vantage ground that will en-
able it to secure the Presidency in 1888.
The battle this year is the preliminary one
to the contest of that year. IF the Demo-
Gratis maintain their supremacy in the
House of Representatives this year they
will have gained great advantage for the
Presidential contest. IF they succeed in
securing enough members to gain control
of the Senate, the victory will be virtually
won.
The party everywhere is making Wig
orous contest, and the outlook is promising.
Reports from the congressional contests are
encouraging and also from the state and
municipal campaigns. Even In the great
Republican stronghold of Pennsylvania,
the Democrats were making the result SO
doubtful that the ''Plumed Knight" from
Maine, was brought to the state to stir up
the labor vote and brighten capitalists and
monopolists by specious arguments and
false reasoning, and Logan was imported to
nut the soldier vote in line for the Repub-
lican ticket.
A great victory, so far as can be- judged,
is to be won all along the line, and the
Democrats of Maryland should not falter
in their duty. The danger here lies IN
confidence in past majorities, and we would
again impress upon Democratic voters the
fact that to secure a majority it is necessa-
ry that they go to the polls next Tuesday
and vote Let no one stay at home under
the impression that his vote will not be
needed 1t is the duty of every Demo
crat to vote. The larger the majority the
more overwhelming the victory and the
greater the influence for future contests.

Under Republican rule great frauds were
perpetrated by Indian agents. Their plan
was to make false reports of the number OF
Indians at the Agencies, draw supplies and
appropriate them to their own use. At
the Pine Ridge Agency the Democratic
agent finds that the Indians number 2,649
less than his Republican predecessor, Mr..
Gillicundy, reported. This discovery will
save the people $4,000 annually. At the
Cheyenne and Arapaho Agency the Indians
were found to number 1862 less than re-
ported under Republican rule, and the
people will save $50, 900 more by this dis
covery. No wonder the position Of Indian
Agent was so much sought under Republi-
can rule. There were fortunes in them to
the dishonest, and it seemed dishonest men
were usually appointed Their contribu-
tions to the Republican campaign fund
were usually large, and the Republican
party never cared to investigate how the
money was obtained.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1886-10-30

The Republicans spent over $500, OOO,-
900 since 1868 to build up navy. When
they went out of power in 1885 the gov
erumeut had neither ships nor money.
The Republicans are now censurlng the
Democratic party for not building navy
in eighteen months The Cleveland Ad-
ministration has made some move in that
direction, and has already let contracts for
some first-class war vessels. These vessels
will be seaworthy and fit for service.
The Republicans spent enough money to
have had the finest navy aAoat. but the
vessels were worthless when completed and
much of the money was consumed in 4Job-
berry That is the difference between the
two parties. The Republicans spent over
100000, 900 in seventeen years, and had
no navy; the Democrats viii have navy
in half the time with half the expenditure.

Not s'rascal has been caught and con-
yicted by the Democratic reformers, say the
Republican orators, who are happy because
the whole set has not been discovered and
convicted They forget one, at least, Philip
S. Wales, Medical Director of the United
States, whose duty it was to purchase med
ical stores and supplies for the hospital
service. He was convicted of expanding
hundreds of thousands of dollars, between
1880 and 1885, upon false vouchers and
fraudulent claims, and suspended from
rank and duty for five years. Another
rascal caught and now undergoing punish
ment is Paymaster-General Joseph A
Smith, who connived at and consented to
frauds in the purchase of pork and beef
for the Navy, whereby the government was
robbed of large sums of money.

The Tariff and the Farmer.

Every industry in this country has been
Unprotected" except that of agriculture, and
thew have been protected so long that not
only have many of them been ruined, SO
far as the laborer and mechanic are con-
cerned, but agriculture also.
Protection, by means Of which large
profits were at first obtainable, has been
oyerdone. The profits were SO great, the
starting of SO many manufactures has re-
suited in over-production, for the market
for our manufactures is restricted to our
own country. When over-production oc-
ours, or there are more goods on hand than
there is demand for, the manufacturers
don't lose. They form combinations to
maintain prices, and either run on shorter
time or shut down altogether until the stock
on hand is sold. In this way the laborer
and mechanic is reduced to almost starya-
ton wages. He not only loses by loss OF
time, but protection" increases the price
of all that he has to buy.
The policy of protection, too, has de-
stroyed our foreign trade. The time was
when our merchant marine traversed the
waters of the world with ninety per cent. of
the CARRYING trade. Now we carry but
seuenteen per cent. By barring out the
trade of other nations we have destroyed
the chief export trade we habitat in
wheat corn, rye, oats, beef, wool, etc. Ma
tons that once purchased the products OF
our farms. and brought in return their
manufactures, have directed their efforts
elsewhere. England was once large pur-
chaser of our wheat and beef, but by tax
ING her manufactures out, she has stimula-
ted wheat and beef production elsewhere
and purchases where she can sell. Thus
At as that the price of grain and other pro
ducts as so loc, ,ohile ere,y necessity TOR
the taym and household IS from forty to
sirty per cent. higher that 1t 'eo''1d be an
der a tariff for rerenue only,
The result of protective tariff IS low
wages for the laboring man and mechanic,
and higher prices for all that he has to buy;
the destruction of our export trade, low
prices for the products of the farm and
high prices for all that farmer buys; the
making of millionaires and the pauperizlng
of the laboring people.
The effect of protection on agriculture
is well discussed in another column by
"LUx," who is writing series of articles
on the tariff for the ADVOCATE, to which
the close attention of every famer is direct
ed. We also direct attention to another
article, entitled "Some Questions for Pro
tectionists."
Hon. Frank T. Shaw is in favor of q
tariff for repenue and opposed to Prohlbi-
tory tariffs. At the last session of Con-
gress he voted to take up the Morrison bill
for revision of the tariff, and will always
be found on the side ofthe people as against
monopolies. Mr. Marine, his opponent, Is
protective tariff man. Can laborer,
mechanic or farmer, hesitate moment
about how he shall vote? Is it not to theil
interests, and to the interest of the whole
country, that the policy of protection" b'
done away with and a tariff. for rerenue only
be laid? Then vote for DIR. Shaw and thus
give practical expression to your views
and protect yourselves.

The effect of protective tariff is to make
millionaires of the few at the expense Of
the many. DIR. Shaw is in favor of re-
vision Of the tariff in the interests Of the
people. He would make the revenues Of

abolish the tariff on the necessities of life.

Every foot of territory acquired by this
government from its foundation to the
present time was acquired under Demo
cratic rule, except Alaska, an unknown and
unexplored region, too cold for the most
part for habitation, and of no special bene-
ct. Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Cali
fornia. were added under Democratic rule.
They are large, rich and prosperous states,
giving to the country vast territory and a
large population The Republican party,
on the other hand, have allowed greater
part Of the public lands to be fenced in aud
appropriated by rich and powerful corpor-
atoms and individuals. When Cleveland
went into the Presidency nearly six and a
half millions of acres had been uDlawfully
appropriated, but Democratic Admins
tration has reclaimed more than one-third,
and is engaged in retaining the balance.
