Carlisles, her Millses, her Brecken-
ridges and all the host who fill our
legislative halls. are bent on destroy
ing our Tariff. Will you send Mr..
Douglas, who fought with them, to
Washington to vote against our in
terests? viii you give them more
clubs to pound US over the head =?
God knows the farmer and laborer of
Western Maryland have it hard
enough, with our long winters, our
rough, stony, thin ground, high
taxes, bad roads, distance from mar
kets, and many discouragements
which jewellers in miIder climates
know nothing of, without lending
assistance to a party who would de-
stroy our markets, depreciate the
price of our property and put US on
an equal with the foreign cheap mar
kets Of the world.

Every year we receive enough i'm
migrants to fill a State such as Mary
land. Does that look as though times
were as good in Europe? Give Gar
rett county as many paupers in pro-
portion as England has and we would
have six hundred to care for. Give
us as many as Belgium and we
would have one thousand two hum
dred and sixty. Give us as many as
Italy and we would have over six
hundred. This is calculating our pop
ulatiOn at twelve thousand, and it
was twelve thousand one hundred in
1880. Last year over six hundred
thousand immigrants landed on our
shores. The population of Maryland
is less than ten hundred thousand.

If this is not Tariff fight then we
don't know what Is. The whole
American people are now engaged in
earnest discussion of this subject.
You will hear it everywhere and il
all this talk is for fun, our people
must be very funny people indeed.
But men and brethren it's business.
Business on the first floor, and all the
way through it's business, real and
genuine, and don't forget that your
vote is going to weigh tons if it ever
did. Thank fortune the Republican
party is now, as it was during the
war. on the right side; on the side
that wins and that says Protection.
Protection to America. Protection

ist in the Democratic party. Citizens
of Garrett county, this is a Tariff
fight in earnest. This excitement
and this forsaking of the Democratic
party by hundreds of people everv-
where show how earnest the fight ;s
Rest fully assured that every vote
cast for Cleveland and Douglas will
encourage the Free Traders of the
Democratic party. If the American
people, who fully understand this as
Tariff fight, say Cleveland by their
vote. it means free wool. That much
is certain,

Horace Resley, an old and honored
citizen of Garrett county, used to
say: You must judge man by the
company he keeps" Now it is al
most the same way with parties, only
more so. We generally Judge man
first by what he does. Secondly by
what ne attempts to do. That is, if
we see a man try to steal, try to kill,
or commit any crime, we judge he
means to do it if he can, 1t is the
same with political parties. A great
many people say oh! if 1 only
thought the Democratic party meant
Free Trade / would not vote the
ticket. Well just apply these little
rules to the Democratic party and
see how 1t works. In 1884 Morrison
was Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee. The Democrats
had full control of Congress. Mr..
Morrison got up his little Tariff Bill
putting coal free. 1t took Mr.. Nc
Comas and the mining interests
weeks of hard work to kill that little
scheme. Mr.. Morrison was defeated
when he came before his people for
reelection. Then Mr.. Mills, of Texas,
another out-and-out Free Trader, was

There are hundreds of Democrats
whose hearts are for Protection but
who dislike to vote against their
party. To those we say, do not give
club to the party that even threat
ems to pound you over the head. Mr..
McComas has proven himself smart,
able, willing and anxious to serve US
all. Why 60 against him. He has
worked day and night to protect our
interests at Washington, and why
send new man whose heart we
know is with the Free Trade South.

The Joint Discussion.

Owing to our limited space, we
can say but little of the joint discus
cion between McComas and Douglas
Thursday of last week. The large
hall was packed with an attentive
and orderly audience. Col, j, w.
Veitch acted as Chairman for the
Democrats and and Hon. George w.
Wilson for the Republicans. Mr..
McCOmas opened the discussion and
spoke for an hour, combining his re-
marks entirely to the tariff question.
Col. Douglas followed and made
frantic efforts to lead the minds of
his hearers away from the convincing
arguments of his able opponent. The
Col. was loudly applauded at the close
Of his hour and fifteen minutes, when
Mr.. MCCOmaS again took the stand
for fifteen minutes, and never was a
man so badly used up in so short
time as was the gallant Colonel. Nc
Comas was so interrupted by APP
plause that much of his time was
consumed in that way, but he SO
thoroughly put the Democrats to
flight that they were dumb after the
meeting, while the Republicans were
all smiles and enthusiasm.

Farmers and working men of Ga

Farmers and working men of Gar
rett county, you are intelligent men.
You can see for yourselves the direc-
ton the two parties are travelling.
You know that the life-blood of
Western Maryland is bound up in
having protection. The Democratic
party is headed in the wrong direc-
ton. England extends three thous-
and miles along our North with her
wool, her coal, her iron. She is on
our East and Southwest. The South
with England work for one interest.
The South raises cotton, sugar and
rice. She needs no protection. She
don't manufacture anything. One
Northern State manufactures more
than the whole South. She wants
England's cheap goods to come in
free Of duty. She detests the Yam
kee. She begrudges the money paid
for pensions which comes mostly
from the tariff on foreign goods. The
tariff which is our protection against
cheap foreign labor, wool, coal, iron,
etc., is to the South obnoxious. Her

The British Case.

Minister West is trying to show,
first, that he has the right to hold and
express political opinions in Ameri.
can politics, and, second, that he did
not express such opinions in the Muir
Gibson letter. AT the same time Mr.,
Bayard, who has returned to Wash
ington, has undertaken to do away
with the bad impression made by the
Delaware interview. in which he de-
clared that the government could not
take any notice of Mr.. Vests letter
because it was marked "private. D."
He now says that it was an imperti-
nent interference in our domestic
affairs.
1t is an impairment interference.
As we have said before, there is no
escape from the conclusion that Mr..
West intended to secure a vote for
Cleveland. The Murchison letter
was written by an Englishman who
wanted to vote in way that would
be most advantageous to British in
terests. He naturally applied to the
British minister and received the adj
vice to vote for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
was sound advice from his point of
view, for there is no doubt that the
election of Mr.. Cleveland will be best
for Geart Britain and Canada. There
is no doubt at all that the accession
of the Republican party to power
will be followed by much unhappi-
ness in the Dominion.
If the administration had not been
truthfully represented in Lord Sack
yille's letter, we should have heard
long before this that he had been sent
home. A thoroughly American ad-
ministration, such as Mr.. Harrison
will give us, would have given him
his passports Immediately on the
publication of Mr.. Vests letter. But
this administration knows that the
Minister was right in asserting that
Mr.. Cleveland was not sincere in his
retaliation message, and that he
would not do anything to injure Can
ada if he could avoid it. Therefore,
the passport has not been issued and
Minister West remains. 1t would
be too late now to insist on his re-
call. Such a course at this time. so
long after the commission of what
Mr.. Bayard calls his impertinent in
reference, would simply be another
political game, and a game of as low
a character as Mr.. West describes the
retaliation message to have been, We
regret that the administration in
yites such insults as Lord Sackville
has inflicted upon the country, but
we cannot expect anything better so
long as Mr.. Cleveland remains in
office, After the 9Th of March the
British Minister will have less influ-
ence in American councils, and
American citizens will have their
rights more zealously guarded-Nea0

Don't forget, fellow citizens, these
facts: England is all around and
about us. with warehouses over
flowing with merchandise, waiting
for US to give her Free Trade. The
Canadian frontier along our North,
three thousand miles long, eagerly
waiting to send over her wool, her
lumber, her iron and coal. Nova
Scotia to the North and East, barely
fifty miles from the Coast of Maine,
with twenty thousand square miles
of territory, ready to come in with
coal. On our West Australasia. Go
to your school maps and you will see
she is almost as large as the whole
United States, with one hundred mil.
lion sheep. There's the place to raise
sheep cheap. Flocks with fifteen to
twenty thousand and the whole con-
tinent covered with sheep. goats and
cattle. A square mile of territory
to each inhabitant. England is all
around US. Go where you will you
will find the Englishman has foot
hold. Our Tariff alone keeps him
out. Why tear down single stone?
Take out wool and you weaken the
whole structure. Put lumber on the
free list, you remove another stone,
and so on. The whole English world
is looking hopefully towards US for
Free Trade.

DEAR BROTHER JONATHAN -

you that times are little hard Just
now. L think my Island rather
small for farming so we have built
all kinds of manufactures and hope
you will take down the Tariff wall
and let us in. Some of my boys are
over in Canada and Nova Scotia
waiting to go to work, and also down
in Australia. and Cape Colony, and
India. Some of the boys are raising
money to help our Brother Cleveland.

you not to ask us in when we are so
close. Times have been little scant
ever since you built that Protection
wall, and we all join in love, and
request that you open your door just
little once, so we can shove in some
lumber, coal, iron and wool. You
will find them all first-class.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
We fully opprove Of the efforts of the Demo-
cratic Representatives in Congress to perform
the pledge made by the last National Demo-
cratic Convention to reform and remove taxes,
to the end that the labor of the country be re-
heyed Of onerous and unnecessary burdens.
We denounce the present tariff system, which
creates an annual surplus of S155 900 900 in the
National Treasury, by taxing the every day
necessities of our farmers, miners and labor
ers for the benefit of protected Eastern manu-
facturers 50 for every dollar that goes into the
Treasury, and which does not protect the Ia
borer. We declare that taxation should be
limited to the requirements Of governments,
and that the burden of taxation should rest
upon those who use luxuries rather than upon
those who use only the necessaries of life.
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER ADVOCATED.
We favor the free coinage Of silver now en-

Bismarck on Horseback.
m. Y. Sum-

BERLIN. April 2e.-The man OF innu-
merable surprises, Prince Bismarck,
knocked the predictions Of the doctors
and the traditions of age edgeways to-
day by mounting long legged roam
mare, that tried to jump over every
house in sight, and riding her at break
neck pace out to Charlottenburg and
back. Less than week ago the ply
sicians forbade his mounting 4 horse
again, and the Chancellor renounced
riding forever with a pathetic homlly
on the punishments Of advancing
years. The newspapers recalled his
splendid feats of horsemanship, even
UP to his sevcnty-second year and
dropped a journalists tear over the end
of Bismarck's riding. All this having
been accepted as fact and due misery
having been felt, Prince Bismarck this
morning mounted the most fiery horse
in his stable and galloped nearly all the
way to Charlottenburg.
On his way back his reception was
wonderfully warm. People waited in
crowds numbering thousands at street
corners and in the park and cheered
the veteran to the echo. He WAS vio-
lently red, but in state of heaming
good nature.

between the rivers, and prospective
candidate for Congress, who is COM
monty known as the ''silver-tongued
orator." was once a delegate to a DEM
ocratic Congressional convention in
Mount Sterling, says the Transcript.
The programme was interspersed with
speeches. Several prominent poll
ticians had been called and told their
love for the "dear old party" No one
had called for ~. w. Johnson"' and
that parsonage became nervous. At
last he circulated around the room and
gave several boys nickel each with
the request that they call for -. W.
Johnson, of Pike" AS soon rs the
next speaker left the stand the gamln
raised yell for:
~. w. Johnson ~. w. Johnson"
The cry was taken up by a hundred
voices and Mr.. Johnson, smilingly,
commenced his speech. But the boys
kept up yell for
J. w. Johnsonw J, W. Johnson"
"Stop that racket" said bSstander,
i'That's Johnson now"
"What'er ye givin' u.s. replied the
boy, "That's the feller what give US a
