There are certain politicians in the
county whose bread and butter were
once contingent upon their creating
the impression among the colored peo-
pie of our county that, if the demo-
crats ever obtained control of our ma
tional affairs, the freedom of the black
man would be imperilled and his right
Of suffrage either abolished or abridged.
After awhile the thing wore itself out
and it was found impossible to trade
probably upon these ideas, and as
was to have been expected, they were
abandoned or held in allegiance and a
new set of novelties introduced, the
latest being that the low prices of our
tobacco and other produce are attri'
Lutable TO democratic rule. Now,
we readily admit and deplore the de-
pressed condition Of our agricultural
interests, but whether this state Of af-
fairs can rightfully be laid at the door
Of democrats or to over production Is
the real question ahead Of us. We
think that over production has some
thing to DO with it, but of this We
have no right to complain. What We
have a right to complain OF, however,
is the existence at this day OF the war
tariff, with an average addition Of at
least 50 per cent. which it puts upon
everything We are compelled to buy.
The party, then be it democratic or
republican, which is responsible for
the continuance Of this tariff is the
guilty agent in our oppression. Which
Old bfissaa aThtd butNF Brigade tina may say
either from ignorance or venality it is
not the democratic party. 1t has the
presidency and the lower branch of
Congress, it is true, but it has not the
Senate. and in order TO rid ourselves
Of the war tariff, it is necessary that
the Senate should concur in our re-
lief. The republican Senate is, com
Iaratlvely, a unit for the present Ia
rili and there Il no hope Of its repeal
until the democrats obtain control Of
that body also. Besides, the .epub-
lean party is the author of this tariff,
has kept 1t by lis advocacy and sup,
port upon our necks for years and is
keeping 1t there now when no public
OF governmental necessity exits for its
continuance. As between DR.. Tuck
and Mr.. Compton, who is the war tariff
candidate and who Is the low or reve-
nue. tariff candidate Read the plat
form upon which they respectively
stand and lnterrogate their records.
, Inc democratic party is about as re-
sponsibIe for the low prices we now
get for our tobacco and wheat as it is
for the Charleston earthquake. We
suppose the bread and butter brigade
know this, or ought to be ashamed not
TO know it.

pay for goods be needs. and thus he
farmers profits are cut At both en-
by the tariff. ri
A great wrong Is being practieed Oh
the American people by the existing
tariff. Take steel bars for railroads,
for instance. In 1881 they could be
bought in England for less than SIS
ton We manufactured in that year
l,lOe. 600 tons. and sold them at an
average Of SCI ton. Who got the
difference. SAT 900 900, that these rails
cost the railroads in 1881, in addition
10 what they would have cost If we
had not protective tariff? The steel
rail manufacturers. Why should they
be protected at the expense Of the
rest Of the people? That S47, OOO. 600
must be paid by the people who use
the railroads.
A duty has been levied on wool,
but notwithstanding there was less
wool raised in the region east Of the
Mississippi river in 1880 than there
was in 1850. Why don't protection
on wool encourage sheep raising in
these localities?
The protected people are getting
high prices for their articles and are
spending their money where they get
the most for it. Will the United
States government allow farmers to do
likewise?
Weare producing cutlery out of steel
imported from England, paying a
heavy duty on IL, and selling that cut
lery in Sheffield and Birmingham in
competition with English cutlery, and
yet the price of cutlery here is double
the price in England. Why? Be-
cause the protective tariff shuts on,
English cutlery.
The agricultural interests cannot be
protected by a duty, because We are
raising more than we can consume,
and have to find market abroad.
When in England, some time since,
at the Royal Agricultural Fair, the
centre of attraction was the Ameri-
can exhibit. The English farmers
didn't know the use of many of the
American implements. He saw in a
store evaporated apples, imported
from America. The storekeeper said
there was no sale for them, but after
showing how they should be cooked
they sold rapidly. He advised Gamers
to send agents abroad with exhibits OF
canned goods at all the fairs, and
show, practically, how the canned
goods should be cooked. Let them
taste them, and they will soon want
to buy them. Many of them don t
know what tomato or what corn is
We are in advance of England in
manufactures, Notwithstanding her
cheap labor, and yet we must pay
twice as much for our implements
here as they can be bough for in
England. All because of the protec-
! tive tariff.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, 1886.
Editors 50. .Kdry's Beacon A week
from tomorrow the Democratic status Of
the Fiftieth Congress will be clearly and
Enthusiastically defined. If not augmented
10y an increased majority, which, from pre-
sent indications, seem somewhat doubtful,
it Is earnestly To be hoped that the present
majority will be maintained. The organi-
zation of the next House of Representatives,
under democratic control, is essential TO the
tration and the furtherance of its plans in
the interest of economy, reform and good
government. The people of this city, I'M
fortunately, denied the right of franchise,
the prerogative Of expressing themselves
through the ballot-box, do, nevertheless,
take lively interest in politics, especially
in the adjoining States of Maryland and
Virginia. The energetic canvass now be-
ing made by your honorable representa-
tive, the Hon. Barnes Compton, for re-elec-
ton, Is exciting considerable interest here.
That he may be returned by largely in
creased majority is the earnest wish Of
our DISTINGUISHED citizens, 10 whom, regard
less of their political procliyities, he has
endeared himself by the friendly interest he
has always evinced in our affairs. Living
in close proximity 10 our city, and thor
oughly conyersant with its wants, he has,
by virtue of his position as member of
the District Of Columbia Committee. been
instrumental in accomplishing substantial
FR=f h..
ment Of the Nations Capital. do not say
it in disparagement of other representative
from Maryland, but no member Of the del
egation stands higher in the estimation of
his fellow members for ability and brain
power than Mr.. Compton. He is, on all
sides, recognized as man of superior abil-
ity,, an effective and elegant debater and
well up in all that pertains 10 q knowledge
ut parliamentary rules and the methods OF
expeiiting legislation. Aside from his
standing in the House, Mr.. Compton has
the confidence and esteem Of the admits
tration in an eminent degree. The inter
eSts of his constituency and his State will be
best subserved By the return of Mr.. Comp
ton. / hope the voters Of your section Of
his district will on NOVEMBER end empha-
