Mr.. Blaine's Charge Refuted.

The foolish charges of free trade brought
against the Democratic party by Mr.. Blaine
has had the effect Of inducing the CdttOhc
Meas, an influential paper published in New
York, and which has remained neutral in the
campaign, 10 announce its support of the ma
tional Democratic ticket. The Neacs sets
forth with vigor the fact that free trade has
nothing to do with the campaign but that
the question is "Shall the people continue 10
pay war taxes after quarter of a century of
peace, and five hundred millions of the peo-
pies money Cutting the treasury and tempt
ing to public corruption and wastefulness Z?
On this issue the Cattolic Noes proposes to
make an earnest fight for Democracy.
The above, from the Baltimore Sun, shows
the bad effect OF want Of sincerity in'public
utterances, even when backed by the ability
of the great exponent of Republican party
principles. Mr. Blaine knows as well as any
one that his charge Of free trade" against
the Democratic platform is false and hollow,
and he could have made it only in the inter
est of desperate contest for his party. H.
stead Of serving the purpose for which it was
intended, its immediate effect has been to
stimulate an able and influential journal to
strenuous exertions in behalf his oppo-
nents. And So it will always be and ought

A Specimen PrOtectiOnist.

Mr.. Allen w. Thurman, son of Judge Thur.
man, Democratic nominee for Vice Presi
dent, upon his return from recent trip to
the great West, says:
"rhere is man in California by the name
of Drexel who pretended to be Democrat
but says he would have to leave the Demo.
cratic party because fits position on the tar
i'll, which would result in exposing American
labor to the pauper labor of Europe. He
manufactured jute bags. You know it is me-
Cessary in California for the farmers to put
their wheat in bags, and jute is extensively
used
The Examiner sent down and got photo
graph of Drexel's mandatory, showing that
over one-half the employees were Cinnamon,
while the rest were girls working for almost
nothing. Ofcourse, that knocked Drexels
argument. Then the Examiner began a
series of articles, showing the farmers how
the tariff raised the price of jute, and / tell
you it set the farmers to thinking"
If the Mr.. Drexel referred to is a specimen
of the kind of Democrats that we sometimes
hear of as deserving their party on account
OF the tariff question, we think we may well
dispense with their support His course to-
ward American Labor units him to call him
self anything but "Chinese Protectionst."

Maryland Republicans in New York.

At the big Blaine reception in New York
last week, our fellow townsman, S. w. Brad
ford, Esq, was accorded prominent posi-
ton. Besides being an aid 10 Col. ]. Frank
Supplies, Commander of the Sixth Division
Of the grand parade on the occasion alluded
to, Mr. Bradford was one of the number, Cim-
ited), who secured passage on the boat that
met the returning Republican leader. He
was also one of the select committee of ten
who escorted Mr. Blaine from the boat to the
quarters provided for him on the occasion.
Gen. Adam Z. King and himself, both Mary
landers, being members of that select COM
mittee. The account of the affair in the Bal
timore Sun says
"As soon as the greatest living Statesman
reached the boat he was greeted with the
welcome composed by w. w. Hamilton, of
Hagerstown, and sung to the air OF America,
with great effect, by the club and committee.
In the special escort that walked beside the
open carriage from the dock to the hotel,
were Gen. King and S. W. Bradford. The
latter had the pleasure also of furnishing the
hero of the hour with the umbrella that shelf
cred him from the sun as he rode along"
Gen. King and Mr.. Bradford may perhaps
congratulate themselves at this endorsement
of their Republican principles, which were
attempted to be criticised in this county last
fall, by the local organ of their own party.

DemOcracy's Land Record.

The information given below by Hon Ben
ton McMllin, of Tennessee, is of Importance
at this juncture, and should be known by
every intelligent voter 1t will be remember
ed by many in this county that Mr.. McNIillin
addressed an audience at our Court House,
In Bel Air, during the campaign in which
Hon. Robert NJ. McLane was Democratic
candidate for Governor of the State. His
career in Congress and mastery speech on
the occasion referred to will recommend his
utterances to our readers more strongly than
any commentators of our own could posi-
bly, do, and consequently it needs no apology
on our part for substituting his excellent re-
marks upon the important questions to
which he has given special attention for fur
ther editorial comment. Mr. McMilin says
There is no brighter page in the history of
the Democratic party than that which re-
cords its acquisition, outstanding and recla-
nation of the public lands. 1t began with
the administration of Thomas Jefferson and
the purchase of Louisiana annexation of Tex
as and coast of Mexico and purchase from
Mexico, SO that 1t had trebled the size of the

before the war. Much of this domain-about
10000 900 of acres-was squandered be-
tween 1864 and 1874. But not an acre has
ever been squandered by the Democratic
party since 1t got control of either branch of
the National Legislature in 1874, and one of
It's finest records is that it has reclaimed lands
hitherto squandered or given away by the
Republican party, while it held control to the
extent of nearly one hundred millions of
acres, and has under reclamation either In the
Land Office or in the bill which passed the
House and is now pending in the Senate de-
claring forfeiture of certain lands 640O0,OO0
