WHY Do ENGLIsHMEN GOMEZ
The Question of Protection Versus Free
Trade In a Nutshell.

The Question of Protection Versus Free
Trade In Nutshell.
From the Paris Amelfcan Register.
An American serio-comic newspaper
represents an American workingmau say
ing to John Bull: Pray, Mr.. Bull, if
free trade be such blessing, why are
your agricultural interests in such Il
wretched condition, why are your manu-
facturers calling out for fair ira lie and
why do skilled English workmen emf
CRATE to America, instead of American
workingmeu to England?"
1t would be impossible to place the
issue of protection versus free trade in
clearer terms than in the above few lines.
1t is an appeal from the doctrines OF
political economists to hard facts. 1t is
fact that the English agricultural
classes are in deep distress and that the
area of cultivable land in England has
grown less and less every year since the
adoption of free trade. 1t is fact that
the agitation in favor of fair trade, which
is protection in disguise, is daily increas
ing in strength, and commands the sym
paJhies of a strong body of British
manufacturers. Above all there is no
denying the fact that the American scale
of wages, the result of the protective
system, is attractive to skilled English
workmen, and encourages among them
emigration to the United States. II the
protective system is to be destroyed, it
must be done By hosting false colors,
and it is these false colors that the Demo
Gratis do not hesitate to hoist Hence
the attempt to show that the Mills Tariff
bill is not leveled at Protection, but at
the surplus revenue, and that the work
ing classes will be benefited by reduced
taxation. Whether they will be so or
not remains to be proved but it is evi
dent that nothing can compensate the
workingman for the regime of low wages,
or no wages. which must be the inevita-
BILE result of any attempt to introduce
into America the highly dangerous sys-
ten of British free trade.

A Good Campaign Song.

We publish in this issue the music as
well as words of a good Republican
campaign song. The air is that of the
old Tippecanoe and Tyler too song of
1870, with which the Henry Clay
Wings of those days made this country
ring. 1t is one Of the most spirited
airs ever written for open air singing.
Sung by marching chorus of voices
we believe it cannot be exceled by
more pretentious productions. 1t is
simple air, easily caught, and has that
short and sharp movement so we'll
adapted to parades and street marching.
We commend it to the Republican
clubs of the county, and hope to hear
it echoed from the Octoraro hills to the
fertile glades of the Sassafras. Let
every man who favors protection for
American working men and American
industries learn the air, and sing it too.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has sent his
check for ten thousand dollars to the
Treasurer of the National Democratic
Committee. He is willing to devote
the one.hfth of a years salary to Sc
curing another term of four years,
Should this contribution bring about his
re election, it will be an admirable in
vestment in money point of view
The salary in four years amounts to
100000, just twenty times the sum
which the President has staked upon
his chances of success. 1t is doubtful
whether he ever will get his money
back, but the large percentage of pos
sible gain Is sufficient to induce the
average speculator to take the risk.-Et,

residence? Simply because the resident
merchant or trader L. amenable TO local
law, and must contribute his share OF
the public burden, either in the shape
of rental If she should not own his place
of business, or in the form of taxes if
he be its owner. He must contribute
out of his substance to the support OF
every provision looking to the public
welfare, the health. the police regulation
and the education of the community in
which he lives. Now the itinerant
yender has no such relation to COM
munity. He forms no part of the
political organism. He comes and
goes he is hot a taxpayer he shares
in none of the burdens of the people /;
he is free trader who looks upon your
market as much his, and as open TO him
as your own trades people.
Therefore our local government taxes
him in order to reduce the burdens OF
citizenship of those who are permanent
resident traders. 1t does this upon
precisely the same principle that we tax
the foreign competing product. The
foreign producer has contributed moth
ing to the growth or development OF
the country. Or as MIR. Mckinley
puts it he has nothing in common with
US. He is without the Jurisdiction OF
our laws. He cannot be reached by
the x-gatherer. He is exempt from
all civil obligations in every part OF the
republic. We can make no requisition
upon him, either in peace or in war.
Our mode of reaching him is through
the product he would send to our mar
kets. We can demand of him that his
merchandise shall make contribution to
our treasury ii he would enjoy the use
of our markets. We can make him
serve US IN no other way. The protec-
tive system therefore looks to the in
terest of the home producer who ought
to be favored as against the foreign
producer, just as our Maryland system
of licenses looks to the protection Of
the resident and home dealer against
the foreign or itinerant one. The prin-
clple is one, and the same in both
cases, and is founded in reason, and a
good public policy.

Cold Shoulder.

Brother Crookshanks of the Demo-
crat, treated his repentent brother of
the Meas very cavalierly, not to say
cruelty, last week. He never condo,
seconded to notice the Doctors "fop,"
not even as matter of news much less
editorially. And this too after his
brother had gushed so sentimentally
over him during his recent congress
sional fiasco.
Doesn't he welcome his prodigal
brother back in the happy CD house
hold? He has Jared sumptuously on
the party bounty these many years, and
now that his lean brother, with an ape
title thrice whetted by his long diet OF
''lndependent" husks returns repentent,
he gives his poor relation the cold
shoulder. Not forsooth the cold Shout
der of veal which the scriptural prodigal
fed on, but one of those suggestive
shrugs to poor relations which Charles
Lamb descants about so delightfully."-.
Really this shoulder illustration seems
quite coincidental in this connection.
Brother Vanderford, the mentor of
the man of the Meas, says that he has
felt that the Doctors independent
course didn't set we'll on his shoulders,
and evidently Brother Crookshanks
doesn't intend to lower his shoulder to
take Brother Frazer on. Besides,
Brother Vanderford thinks that an in
dependent amounts to nothing, and
that Brother Frazer has done injustice
to his Democratic ancestors by pre-
tending to be one.
Of course Brother Crookshanks being
a muscular christian, doesn't want to
shoulder nothing" But since Brother
Frazer has taken down his independent
sign, and resumed business at the old
Democratic stand, logically he has be-
come Something" IN fact he has found
that cold water and independent husks
were rather thin diet to run a news
paper on, and wants to shoulder slice
of the party pie.
And that's what's the matter with
Brother Crookshanks.

WE NEED NO BETTER evidence that
MIR. Cleveland's startling retaliation
message sent to the Senate last week,
was intended as campaign buncombe,
than the fact that Messrs. Barnum,
Brice and German were sent for and
consulted before the message was issued.
Cleveland was to give the British lion's
tail fearful twist, and every Irish
Democrat was to howl with delight. 1t
was nice little scheme, but it doesn't
work worth ole cent.

HOW THE FARMER FARES.

The free trade organs are constantly
harping upon the sad plight Of the farmer,
that he is driven to the wall, that nearly
every farm has che appendage of a mort
gage, and that the tariff is making a
pauper of him. There are ) 900 600 ow ners
of farms, gain of 900, 900 since 1880.
In the State of New York three tenths of
the farms are mortgaged; in Pennsylvania
but 10 per cent. of the farm value is en-
numbered; Kentucky one eighth, Ohio %
per cent Michigan, % per cent; in Hi
nols, where many young men have moved
in within the last ten years. and the same
rule will apply to the Western States
generally, the mortgages will average
thirty three per cent. Missouri 90 per
cent; Nebraska some what smaller.
In New England but few farmers are
mortgaged. in fact a large surplus from
the New England farm profits are sent
to Kansas for investment on mortgages
In the Southern sates the land is not
mortgaged to any extent.
Why isn't tue farmer doing well in the
East and North? The estimate of mort
cages we present makes better show
ing, as to debts upon given value than
any other Investment. What business
out of banking circles. can show as small
an Indebtedness as is exhibited in our
hgures OF the mortgages upon farms

farm and see how it compares with other
pursuits,

we'll stocked and we'll located. 1t would
be worth, in the Middle States, So, 600 on
an average. The owner has a family of
small children, and does his own work
He is the only worker but hires a hand
during harvesting, or keeps a boy
through the year. Now let us look at his
account. The value of the interest on his
farm, at 5 per cent. is $3.50. That is all
his money costs His own labor, esti-
mating him as a farm hand, is worth not
more than 5000 per wear. The boy is
worth S75, total, $500
What are his returns? Himself and family
have house rent worth, as the figures
respectfully would suggest, not less than
500, per year. His living for self and
family not less than S3u0, if there is a
wife and several children. His clothing
at least 500, total $500 Besides these
are many comforts aud couveniences
He rides to church or store, his sleep is
undisturbed, his employment is health
full his labor remunerative and he re.
ceives greater benefits for his investment
than he could realize in any department
of life.-Bucks County (Pa) MteLLigencer.

A Home Illustration of the Pro-
tectiYe Idea.

In his recent speech at the Piedmont
Georgia. Chautauqua, Mr.. Mckinley
very forcibly illustrated the theory of
our protection system, by showing that
it was the duty of the general govern
ment to have thoughtful concern for
the industrial interests of the people,
and that the high licenses generally
imposed upon Itinerant vendors of mer-
Chandise by most cities and towns, were
In character akin to protective tariff,
and imposed upon the same principle.
Now we assert that there cannot be
found in the town of Elkton a single
merchant, storekeeper or shopkeeper.
who does not believe that the law of
the State of Maryland imposing pro-
hlbitory license upon itinerant vendors
OF merchandise is wise and just one.
This law imposes a license OF one hum
dred dollars upon any vender of mer-
chandise who travels on foot. If he
drives one horse he must pay one hun
dred and fifty dollars, and if he uses
two horses he must cover annually into
the State Treasury the neat little sum
OF two hundred dollars. The effect of
this law is to practically break up the
peddlIng of merchandise by itinerant
vendors. 1t is a prohibltory tax or
tariff intended to protect resident ven.
ders. Like the national protective
system which President Cleveland and
his party are striving to break down, it
invokes the highest law of nature, that
OF self preservation.
And on what does the justice of this
Maryland law rest? Why should the
man who has no fixed abode, no per-
manent place of business, pay higher
bounty to the State to prosecute his
traffic than the man who has one estab-
ished stand, and one fixed place of

Daniel l.. BrlntOn.

We welcome to the front another
Cecil countain of good, true and loyal
stock in the person OF Daniel L. Brin-
ton whom the Republicans OF the Third
district nominated on Tuesday for
Congress. Mr.. Brinton is a native of
this county and the son of Alvin Brin-
ton who, while resident here, was
highly respected merchant at Miller's
Corner, near Lords factory. He mar
ried daughter of the late Charles
Crouch, a niece of Richard F. May,
recently returned to Cecil, and after
merchandising successfully in this
county removed to East Baltimore,
where he has for years been prosperous
merchant. Daniel, his son, was edu-
Gated at the John Hopkins University,
read law with John V. L. Findlay and
afterwards graduated at the Maryland
Law School. He is promising young
lawyer sharing the highest esteem of
the community, and an earnest and
consistent Republican. His popularity
was attested by his unanimous nomina
ton. On being introduced to the con-
vention he made ringing speech.
1.-THE Republican Party" he said sat
its formation fought for human liberty,
and now it fights for the protection of our
industries The Mills bill stands for free
trade, and the issue is between the cham
pions of protection and those of free trade.
The accumulations OF the surplus in the
treasury is tribute to the management
of the Republican party. So large sur
plus should not remain in the treasury,
and the Republicans propose to reduce it
by the abolition of the tax on tobacco, on
alcohol used in the arts, and on sugar, if
necessary. The Mills bill, it is true, pro-
poses reduction of seven per cent. in
the tariff, but it is the entering wedge for
further reduction hereafter. MARYLAND
should place herself in line with the
great manufacturing States of the coun.
try, and she has nothing to lose in re-
publican success. In the third district
we are opposed by large democratic
majority. But we know our cause is
just. With protection to American indus
tries, free schools, free ballot, aud
fair count inscribed on our banners, why
should victory not be ours? when the
sun rises on the November morning after
the election, | believe the announcement
will come that nation and State have
been disenthralled.
We feel assured that Mr.. Brinton will
honor himself, his cause and the county
of his nativity by his conduct of the
campaign in the Third district.
