TIE PR0rEcTIoN QUESTION

IHE IHOA ~ IIO-N tStbo I Wv
Brother Colston, quotes from Mr..
Carlisle in answer to our article Of
last week, and then gets down into
his little bed and curls himself up for
nap, with the sinners of 1860.
He says it was about that time that
he quit the Wings, who were the pro
tectionists of those times. He fails
to give any reason for jumping the
fence A reasonable reason is in or
der-something a little bit larger
and stronger than State rights--a
national principle of some kind. Our
friend knows that there must be tar
if or taxation for purposes of gov
eminent, and he also knows that the
industries Of this country are so di-
versifed that the only trouble is to
select that which may be best to so
tax, otherwise, taxation for revenue
would necessarily be upon every
thing. 1t is the elimination for pro-
lection, to best practically aid our
own people that causes the discus
sion. THAT was an empty nut that
Mr.. Russell gave here on the wool
question. He cannot import wool
from England and manufacture it
into goods with our wages for labor
and compete with British goods man
ufactured by pauper labor. You tax
your own head, all personal and real
property, you license certain kinds
Of business in your own State. VIII
you permit others to come in, trans
act business, own property and enjoy
themselves, free and clear of equal
taxation? But, brother, what made
YOU fire eater of 1850?

clined and declined the nomination
at the hands Of the Democrats, but
being deemed the foremost man of
his party, Of that day, was nominal
ed and he made the race. To have
done otherwise, would have disgra-
ced his principles, his party and him
self. Blaine, may be forced into the
same position, and declination then
would mean ruin, but accounting
him a student and wise in judgment,
we believe it would be unwise to
force him into such position, as the
Democrats did Seymour. They have
furnished the precedent but the re-
suit was disastrous. Read Blaine's
letter through, grasp the thought
therein conveyed, with all its
strength Of meaning, and see how,
after full study Of European meth
DDS, he speaks for protection-that
the American laborer at least may
not be reduced to the level Of the
European laborer. That is battle
cry, that next to the Christian reli-
gion, should be in every Americans
heart, careful of home and family.

Mr. MASON, of Illinois, made a
very neat point in his speech on the
tariff in the House in explaining the
beauties of protection when he said
IL am like the boy who hired his
sister to make his shirts. Some one
said, "You could have taken those
shirts to the factory and had them
made and saved So" Yes said
the boy protectionist, "Sister Sally
got a pretty fair price. She always
pays me well for what / do for her.
That two-dollar bill is still under the
same roof with me, and if sickness or
trouble or hard luck comes to any Of
our family that money is there in the
house"
The free-trade boy calls his sister
New England tariff robber. 81.

Our carpet trade is far ahead of
that of any former season. In fact,
our sales have far surpassed our eX-
pectations, but we have a very much
larger stock than any former year,
and we are selling them on very
short profits as we are determined to
work up a big carpet trade, SO if you
are thinking of getting a carpet this
spring, you should not fail to call
and get our prices rs we are conf
dent we can save you from five to
ten cents per yard.

MARTrNsBURG brought back a bad

MARTINsBURG brought back bad
report from Cumberland. In the
morning game the score was 8 to
in favor Of Cumberland. Such a de-
feat as this was something new to
Martinsburg boys and they became
nervous and dispirited and were
gathered in the afternoon game by
score Of Is to in favor Of Cumber-
land. The morning game was quite
interesting. Martinsburg led off at
the bat, and the first man, Bowers,
found the ball for a two Dagger and
made third off Combs safe hit and
brought in, the only score made dur
ing the day, off a sacrifice hit by Pit
ger The field work of our boys was
not up to their usual standard and
wild plays allowed Cumberland to
get in | run in the second, 4 runs in
the third and 3 in the seventh, to-
tai of 8 runs with 6 blanks. Mar
tinsburg drew blanks for the other
s innings. In the evening the boys
showed the effects of having travel
ed all night and did not play with
their accustomed vim. They did
fairly well under the circumstances
however, and it was more through
bad luck than bad playing that they
were shut out. Cumberland in this
game made a total Of Is scores. The
team that Cumberland put in the
field was the stronger of the two but
it is fair to say that Martinsburg's
nine is composed of local amateur
players and expected to meet the
same kind. The Cumberland's are
salaried and therefore professionals.
Their battery was imported from
Pittsburg specially for these games,
and was a very fine one. Consider
able interest was manifested here
about the result Of he,games.

4 BARREL of gasoline exploded
about p. NJ. Monday in the cellar of
the grocery store of c. r. Zellers,
corner Market and South St., Frede-
rick, Md, with terrible results A
boy had been sent into the cellar to
tap q barrel of gasoline and while do
ing so he lighted a match and the
gas coming from the gasoline was
ignited. Great volumes of smoke
and flame rolled out of the cellar Gre
ating great eXcitment. An alarm
was given and the fire depart
ment promptly responded. Just as
they were about to turn the water
on the fire the gasoline exploded with
fearful force. The brick front of the
building was blown out and the rear
part of the premises was totally de-
stroyed. A large number of people
that had gathered around the build
ing were caught in the ruins and the
most heart rending scenes followed.
Many were cut and bruised by the
falling bricks and others were buried
in the ruins. The scene was fear
full one. Women and children ran
frantically about looking for missing
relatives the wounded were being
carried in various directions and a
large force were at work doing every
thing possible to help the suffering.
All the physicians and surgeons in
the city were summoned to the spot
and for several hours were busily
engaged in treating those who had
been struck by the falling bricks or
burned by the dreadful burst of flame
that came from the cellar. Two per-
sons were killed and large number
more or less injured. Frederick has
the sympathy of this and her other
sister cities in this sad occurrence.
