Clerks in the departments here

Senator Chandeliers resolution pro-
viding for an investigation of the
Louisiana election brought on sharp
personal and political debate ia the
Senate, in which Senator Coke tried
to see how often he could violate the
rules of the Senate by using unparlia-
mentary language. Senator Gibson
made a speech on the same subject
the day before, ia which he virtually
admitted that the elections in his
State (Louisianal were controlled by
the whites irrespective of the num-
Der of votes cast, and he strongly in
timated that it was no business of the
Senate's.
Senator Sherman, from the Senate
Committee on Foreign Affairs, re-
ported his resolution looking to closer
and better commercial and political
relations with Canada, and it was
placed on the Calendar. Mr.. Sher-
man stated that it was not the pur-

The President and OIeO.

In his letter of acceptance Presi-
dent Cleveland asserts that the tax
on oleomargerine, or butterine, adds
two cents per pound to the cost of all
butter consumed in the United States.
If that be SO, the people Of the coun-
try are taxed" to the extent of thir-
ty to forty million dollars a year for
the benefit of the butter makers and
dealers. Yet the law leYying a tax
on butteriDe was passed but short
time ago with the approval and help
of the President, although at the time
of its passage there was a large and
increasing surplus in the treasury.
1t must have been tnat Mr.. CIeve-
land did know the effect of the cleo.
margarine act when he signed it-did
not know that it was taxing" the
people such immense sums of money.
From the general tenor of his letter
it is fair to infer that he desires to
punish the monopoly of butter-mak-
ers and dealers, by repeating the oleo-
margarine act. If he does not mean
that, what does he mean ?
With respect to the butter, as in
everything else, the President assumes
that the natural competition between
butter makers does not have the eff
feet to keep prices within reason
able limit. Therefore he would pun
ish dairymen, farmers and farmers
wives by permitting vile limitations
of butter to freely compete with the
genuine article. 1t seems to be no.

The Surplus,

One of the most foolish ideas pro-
mulgated by the Democratic press is
that we must lower the tariff to get
rid of the surplus. Now, thoughtful
reader, one moment conceding a sur
plus, you lower the tariff and that
brings in the foreign article at once.
So much all are agreed upon. You
increase the amount of importatiOns.
Don't that increase the revenue
History and experience have settled
that. Now, again, raise the tariff,
the higher the less importations. Go
on in this way and you soon come 70
the point where importations stop
altogether. Now. don't that cut off
the revenue altogether, and here then
we have what is called prohibitory
tariff. Can't any school boy of Gar
rett county understand this. If it is
the surplus, providing there is a
surplus, the only way to get rid OF
the revenue is to make it absolutely
free to come without any restrictions
whatever. Free trade absolutely, and
the free traders understand this as
well as we do, The Republican party
says rather take it off tobacco and
off the home productions.

Things we Should Like to Know.

If the Sc per cent tariff on wool is
a robbery" as the Democratic free
traders assert, what is the Mills bills
tariff on sugar, which averages 81
per cent?
If SO per cent on wool is "rob-
berry," what is the 100 per cent on
rice of the Mills bill?
If the object of the Mills bill was
to reduce the revenue by reducing
the tariff, why not reduce the tariff
on sugar, which produces S5S, O00, 900,
instead of removing altogether the
tariff on wool, which produces only
S., 900, 900 revenue?
If the object of reducing the tariff
is to Tighten the farmers burdens,
why not reduce it on sugar, which
the farmer has to buy, instead OF re.
moving it from wool, which be raises
to sell ?"- Toledo Blade.

The Tariff Is Not a Tax.

Democratic orators, as we'll as
newspapers, are constantly repeating
that the tariff is tax. This may
mislead many people. The fact is
the tariff is a tax on foreign produc-
lions but the people of Garrett county
are not dependent upon foreign pro-
duction. What we want is a home
market for our grain, our potatoes.
for our meat, etc. Take the price of
cattle, the price of potatoes, the price
of grain, or what you please. How
does the tariff tax them? We don't
pay any tariff when we go to Georges
Creek, to Oakland, Cumberland, or
Baltimore. We produce them within
ourselves, and all we ask is a home
market, a good home market. Well
now how can we expect home mar
ket unless you protect the laborers
who consume our productions ? We
cannot make a home market by de-
stroying their toll. We cannot make
a home market by letting England
bring in her iron, her coal, her hard
ware and her productions which
cover every avenue Of skilled labor.
You cannot make home market by

Coal.

Volumes haye been written on this,
one of the most interesting ofgeOlogic
subjects. We are confronted at the
outset with the wealth of material
at our disposal, and it would only be
tiresOme to the general reader. Its
origin, composition, its formation
and uses, where should we begin and
where stop. The Saxons were famil-

carrying Goals to Newcastle" mined
in Georges Creek as early as 1923,
the first great impetus came in 1912,
when the B. & O. Railroad was COM
pleted to Cumberland. and in 1850,
when the canal was completed. The
consumption of this coal now is
simply enormous. Millions of capt.
tai are employed and millions are
invested indirectly in mining, trans
pOrtatiOn and commerce. 1t is esti-
mated that there is enough still left
in Georges Creek and Elk Garden
region to last the Atlantic seaboard
two centuries. To the Atlantic sea-
board it all goes, to be sent North and
South, and yet here is a Democratic
campaign circular claiming that rail-
road men generally will be benefited
by lower tariff. They classify them
as unprotected labOrers. What nom
sense. Now again about this famous
Nova Scotia coal, of which we have
heard so much and which Mr.. VIM.
Singerly, with whom President
Cleveland spent Sabbath. Sept. 10th,
so much wants to come in tariff free.
The supply is ineXhaustable, near
New York and Philadelphia, and
said to be the finest bituminous coal
in the world, one vein alone we were
told years ago by no less authority
than the lamented DIR. Welhey, who
gave the matter careful study,
the Picton vein of Nova Scotia, being
373 feet thick, solid coal. couple this
with the fact that Nova Scotia is al
ready sending in whole trees by
water, duty free, because free raw
material, and we can understand the
anxiety of such Democrats as Mr..
Singerly for free trade, and especially
free coal, and if you don't believe he
wants free coal read his paper, the

prospects of the Democratic party lei

of this years election
In Oregon the Republicans cast the
largest vote they ever polled, gained
the largest plurality they ever had,
and greatly increased their represen-
tatiOn in both branches of the Legis-
lature, making it from two-thirds to
three-fourths Republican.
In Vermont the Republicans cast
the largest vote they ever polled at a
gubernatorial election, gained the
largest plurality they ever gave a
candidate for Governor, chose every
member of the State Senate and
made large gains in the lower branch
of the Legislature.
In Maine the Republicans cast the
largest vote they ever palled, gained
one of the largest pluralities they
have had in twenty years, elected a
solid State Senate, made large gains
in the lower Legislative House, and
alected ninety.six of the ninety-nine
county officers chosen.
In Alabama the Democratic ma
iOrity was cut down at the recent
State election from one-third to two
fifths. The exact figure is not known
as yet, but there will be loss of from
10000 to $4,000 as compared with
Democratic majority at the CORE

A Feast of CheapnesS

got that this cheapening process NAV
be pushed so far as to involve the
cheapening of human life, and the
loss Of human happiness"
Some years ago our British cousins
faced this very question, and thew
decided against protection. The
"feast Of cheapness" came to them.
just as General Harrison says twill
come to US if we invite it by our
votes. The result of such fest is
outlined by Mr.. H. j. Pettifess
rotary, of the BrifisK WorEES,g

persons of both sexes.
"YOu can make sum of that. and
can reckon up that, on an average,
every one Of those 100000 would sup.
port at least three persons if fully

SATURDAY, OCT. 6, 1888.
Mr.. McCOmas.

One of the most faithful represen-
tatives Western Maryland has ever
had is Louis E. McComas. Uhtiring
in his zeal to his constituents, he has
been representative in every respect.
Democrat as well as Republican has
had equal fair treatment at his hands.
Quick, able and ready at all times to
protect the interest of Western Mary
land. He has stood a bulwark of the
Interests of the laboring man, the
farmer and mechanic. We would
like to ask the people of Garrett
county, where would we have stood
with Democratic Representative at
Washington all these years, and
especially during the tariff fight in
the present Congress A Democratic
representative would have been COM
PEELED to bow to the free trade idol
OF his party, our interests would have
received a lukewarm support at best,
and there would have been another
vote to be added in favor of the Mills
bill, another vote for the Southern
idea of low tariff or free trade.
The indications are that Mr.. Nc.
Comas will be returned to Congress
by an unprecedented majority. Many
Democrats are going to throw off the
yoke and vote for their homes and
firesides.
