THE EFFECT ON BUSINESS.

Constant complaints are being sent to
Washington that the long agitation over
the tariff and the tacks upon the pro-
tectiye system are having a yery serious
effect upon all branches Of. trade. j..
some lines, such as the iron manufsHur-
ing, business has almost been stopped
Manufacturers do not know what to de-
pend upon, aud they dare not go ahead
making new contracts with prospect
that Congress may reduce the tariff be-
low the protective point, and cripple
them in their business. For this rea-
son iron manufacturing is practically AT
a stanistill, Tue party of Free Trade
would like to take the duty off the met
ais. and if there is any chtn that they
will do so iron manufacturers are ready
10 10 out Of business. 4 similar feeling
Of depression exists III other branches OF
trade. One member of Congress said
recently that be had received several let
ters from manufacturers and wholesalers
III bis district asking him when this tar
I'll agitation would cease. They said
shat they were unable to go ahead with
their business. not knowing in what
plight Congress might leave them, and
shey were seriously embarrassed by the
menaces and hostile legislation proposed
by the Democratic party There is no
doubt that all lines Of trade are more or
less affected BY the De nocratic party
constant attacks from the tariff. That
party has done more to unsettle the con-
fdeuce of business men and to iniure
their trade than all the good it has done
can ever outweigh The election of a
Republican administration with Repub
fIcsn majoritics IN both Houses will be o
guarantee to the business interests Of

can party is in faver of such revision Of
the tariff as to correct its inequalities

INCREASED SALARY FOR
TEACHERS.

At this time we think it opportnne td
call III attention Of the Board Of School
Commissioners to the hew law enacted
Nv the last legislature, TO increase thr
salary Of the teachers Of Charles county
We think il duty the school commits
sioners owe 10 the teachers Of the public
acbools to make az earnest effort to hav'
the provisions Of that law enforced. For
a more faithful and efficient set Of teach
srs cannot be found within the limits Of
the State, and the conscientious discharge
NJ their important duties should be re-
warded by the officials who have the
power, at this time 10 do So The last
legislature increased the State appropri
stions for the public schools $40, 600
and that sum in addition to tIe amount
which the county commissioners can levy
will be sufficient TO accomplish the de-
sired result in the county. Charles
county pays for :he support Of its public
schools IL cents on the hundred dollars
Of It's taxable property, and the sum of
a., 200 is annually paid to the school
commissioners for school purposes. That
shis sum is totally insufficient is 'idcnc-
ed by the fact that each year some Of ia
school houses have to be closed 80 that q
sufficient amount can be saved from the
teachers salaries IN build new school
houses, or put in repair old ones. Their
need be no necessity for shortening the
school year because Of the increase of
salaries TO teachers, nor will there be a
necessity for paying teachers other than
IN cash at the end Of each quarter as
now, because Of the increase Of salaries
rs proposed by the law. For it the
amount Of school tax were doubled (even
were it necessary to do so to accomplish
the object) the people of this county would
not demur. for every tax payer, rich and
poor, is eager aud and anxious to see
,he public school system in this county
increased in efficiency and its standard
raised to the highest level We trust
that our school commissioners will ask
en- additional appropriation. aud we feel
satisfied that if the request is granted by
the county commissioners, the people
Of this county regardless of all other
considerations will heartily approve
theis action.

MR.. CeMPTON's CHANCES

Mr.. Compton, in an interyies il re.
ported as saying that his district is uni
ted and harmonious, and will give him
the usual majori'y. Mr.. Compion's po-
liticai uiterances have heretofore been
taken by some Of our people a., proofs
strong as Holy writ F." THIS latter state
ment Of his however, will be taken with
great allowance, for il is well knopn that
there ha' not been for many years past
as much dissatisfaction, as exists at
present with Mr.. Compton. notwith-
Standing the fact Of his nomination by
acclanation, on the 24th instant May
Of the best thinkers in the Democratic
ranks in Southern Maryland believe that
MIR. Cleveland will be defeated this fall,
and IN consequence, will not work With
the enthusiasts that characterized them
four years ago. While on the other
hand Republicans, seeing a glorious vic
tory about to lie won BY their forces in
The great national contest, will work tere
at home to secure on the floors Of Con-
gross from this district, one who can and
will, ably second the brilliant McConas
IN his efforts in behalf Of American in
stltutions against foreign attempts to
make us. as in days of yore, dependents
upon them. The gerrymanderina scheme
Of the legislature at its last session, was
an acknowledgement Of weakness in this
district. and would never have been at
tempted but for that weakness. The
ring managers realizing the great dis
affection, sought to turn the sixth dis
trict, which they have little hope Of
ever capturing f,om the gallant little
Mack entirely over to the Repub-
licans, by placing Montgomery county
in the Fifth, thereby increasing the
Democratic vote by several thousand,
and at the same time fll up the gap
created by many of those who are tired
of continued ring rule and domination,
and who do not intend to vote
again for the ring nominee -
Mr.. Compton will not have a walk over
and none knows this SO we'll as he.

In view of the fact that New York
New jersey and Connecticut have in
their State Convention refused to en-.
dorse the Mills bill, aud also declined
to endorse the Presidents message. OK
cept in the case Of New York, in which
the platform specifically points out GER
tain passages which it approves, the St.
Louis Convention will be compelled to
meet the tariff gu stion, as it did in 1884,
as if there was nothing before Congress.
Evidently the party is looking for q
chance to. hedge again, by writing a
double headed platform.

BLAINE'S DECLINATION.

Another letter has been published
from the Hon. James G. Blaine, in
which he rei.erates in emphatic Ian
guage his positive refusal to allow his
name to be presented to the Republican
National Convention. This second let
ter puts at rest the continued charges
made by his political enemies and would
be friends, that his first letter was only
intended as bid for the nomination. =
There never has been douot about his
denomination if he desired, il and his let
ter from Florence in January last had a
tendency to weaken. rather than
s:reng hen his chances. 1t would have
been very unwise upon his part to have
written such letter, if it was desired as
,lleged, to strengthen bis prospects for a
denomination. This last letter however
puts stop to all such unfair and invidi-
Gus comments. And it also removes
from the field the ablest statesman on
the American continent.

LucIus Morrison of Madison.

This aged and respected resident passed
quietly away on Sunday morning last, af-
ter an illness of six days. Save a short
| sickness in the early summer he had been
in the enjoyment of his usual health. He
was born in Pennington in 1902, and
came to Madison with his parents in 1919.
few years after, his father, brother and
| himself utilized the excellent water priyi-
lege at this place, and in time several
mills We're erected along the outlet. So
prominent was this family in the indus
trial life of the place that 1t received and
long bore the name of Morrson's Mills.
In 1874 disastrous fire swept away all
these industries in single night
Though life long sufferer from dis
ease which partially disabled him, his in
domitable will and tireless energy carried
him through more than tour score wears
When children were given he and his es-
Unable wife. who died few years ago,

stance to the work of lifting them for
useful lives lie was long identified with
the interests of the place, was honored
several times with positions of trust, and
sought in many ways the good of the vii
laSe which was his home for nearly three
quarters OF century. Surrounded by
his friends and loved ones, and cared for
assiduously by his devoted daughter, he
came quietly to the end. He was a good
man, and his name stands for what is
pure in life and honorable in action His
funeral took place on Tuesday forenoon,
and was conducted by Rev. c, V. Hanson
of Skowhegan. He leaves brother
Robert, who has long resided here, and
two sisters, Mrs. Almira Flanders of Nor
