MEssRs. EDITORS During the latter part
of August and the first of September, this year,
| had the pleasure of visiting the scenes of
my early recollections, in Montgomery coun-
| ty, Nd. As if by the waving the magician's
wand, old fields and barren wastes, not cap
able, in their former sterile condition, of pro-
ducng any thing except broom-sa briars
and poverty grass, have been reclaimed, and
by proper system of fertilizing and farming,
produce luxuriant crops, rewarding the farmer
for his toll, identifying the face of the coun-
try, adjoining the landscape, and thus making
| old Montgomery, that was once a by-word,
on account of her sterility, one of the first
counties in the State.
Frederick county people used to say, ''that
the land was so poor, that the killdeers used
10 bring their rations with them, when they
had to pass over Montgomery. as it was a
land that yielded no supplies" and that, ''the
dogs used to seek post or fence to lean
against when they wanted to bark, as they
were too poor to stand alone, and that you
could always tell a Montgomerian, even in
the dark, by rubbing your hands over him, as
they would come in contact with the protrud-
ing herring bones" These were extravagant
| Expressions gsed to signify the contempt of the
speakers for Montgomery and its citizens
Now, how changed the seenes There are
many farmers from Frederick county located
! in Montgomery, whose beautiful homes and
well titled farms, together with those of her
native sons are not surpassed by those. in
other counties.
do not think, in all my travels, that have
! seen q farming country that has added more
TO her material wealth and general prosperi-
ty; these things, in her history, together with
her moral prosperity, are certainly very
marked.

| liberal and bears very evident Improvement
over the old subscription system, which was in

when it was my lot to be known, and recog-
| nized, as a teacher of some of her children.
Many of the most pleasant recollections of my
earlier life linger around this period. Some
| of the pleasant incidents ofmy visits are those
| in connection with the meeting of my former
pupils, grown from childhood and youth to
! full manhood and Somanhood, with the i'm.
pressions made during their school life stamped
| indellibly upon the tablets of their memory,
influencing them for veal or woe, in their re-
| spectiye spheres and callings. Of the mum.

DR.. shaw and the Dairy Iterests.

From the Hartford Democrat
1t is well known that the dairy interest Of
the country has suffered for several years by
the Manufacture and sale Of cheap imitation
of butter called oleomargarine- This stuff is
made of tallow and other ingredients that
cost but little money, and is favored and sold
at a low price for butter. The Agricultural
and Dairy Association, that is composed Of
intelligent farmers, saw that their business
was going to ruin and an important industry
paralyzed. To prevent this they drew up and
presented to Congress bill known as the
oleopaargarine law, the object of which is TO
prevent grnss fraud on the people and allow
the products of the dairy to fairly compete on
its merits with the imitation butter. As ex,
pected, the large corporations organized q
strong lobby. literally supplied with CASH to
defeat the bill, They succeeded after fierce
struggle in shearing the law of many of its
valuable features, hut enough was left to be
Of service to the farmers. The passage of
this bill has already done much for the dairy
interests, and more is expected. Among
those true to the farmers, who labored faith
fully and intelligently for the passage of the
law, was our present Representative in Con
gress and candidate for reelection, Hon.
Frank I. Shaw.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1886-10-30
Hon. Frank It. Shaw and the Tariff

From the Beldir 1Egis.
If Hon. Frank T. Shaw, the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this district, had nc
other claims for the support of every farmer
in his district, he is entitled to their votes for
the stand he has taken in favor of a just and
equitable revision of the tariff. 1t seems
strange that any farmer can persuade himself
that taxing an article can cheaper it. The
cost of every implement the farmer uses on
his farm, and of nearly everything he buys for
the comfort of his family, is increased from
25 to 80 per cent. by the oppressive and bur-
densome tariff He is obliged to sell his
wheat at a price regulated abroad, where
American wheat comes into competition with
wheat raised by the cheapest labor in the
world, and at the same time he is debarred
from buying what he needs in the same cheap
market, because of the heavy tax he must
pay to bring his purchases into this country.
Consequently, the farmer and his family must
deny themselves not only the Injuries but the
necessaries of life, because they can not, at
the low price of wheat, except by such self.
denial make both ends meet. The present
low price of wheat would not be so bad if the
farmer were not compelled to pay high and
useless tariff tax on all the raw materials
which enter into the manufacture of every
thing he uses.
The Hagerstown Mail, in speaking of the
injustice done to farmers by the existing war
tariff, says:
"How are these oppressed and suffering
people to be relieved? Not by taxing them
surely! Not by putting the tariff on iron,
which goes into their daily use; or upon su-
gar, molasses, rice and so many other essen
tails of a pleasant life. This false claim for
false and fraudulent protection should be
stopped; the farmers, mechanics and laboring
men should be called upon to meet the issue
fairly and squarely: Whether they are to be
taxed for the benefit of the few who, as gen
eral rule, live in plenty"
The Republican party in Congress has
thwarted every attempt to modify the tariff
and tighten its burdens upon farmers, and
therefore we say that every farmer and every
toiler, in whatever line of industry, who looks
to his own interests, owes it to himself and to
his family to vote for the man whose efforts
are pledged to secure reduction of the tariff
on the necessaries of life. Let the Injuries
which minister to the pomp and pride of the
rich, and not the necessaries that sustain the
life of the poor, bear the chief burden Of the
tariff tax
