Why We Feel Sure.

-Four years ago the Republicans
were still in power. The cry "turn
the rascals out," purify the seryice,"
"giye us a change" the divisions in
the party, all combined to give New
York to the Democrats. What do
we find now ? An united Republic
can party, the soldier vote solid for
Harrison, the Democrats divided
among themselves, papers support
ing Cleveland are all free trade
papers, the Democratic protectionists
lukeWarm. Besides this, CleVeIand's
free wool message alone will insure
us enough votes to carry the State.
His pension vetoes will give the Re-
publican party enough votes to carry
the State. His battle-fag order, and
many other things alone will insure
his defeat. New York is sure for the
Republicans for another reason We
have from that State the candidate
for the Vice Presidency, a man above
suspicion in every respect and who
alone has it within his means to carry
the State if there is any virtue in
haying barrel. New York is sure
for another reason: Buffalo alone,
which gave Cleveland a good major
ity four years ago, has repudiated
him and is conceded will go at least
fifteen hundred majority for Harri-
son. New York is sure for another
reason Conkllng is ead-peace to
his ashes. Blaine is net the candi-
date. That alone will give us enough
votes to carry the State. New York
is sure for another reason : DR.. Nc
Glynn's party will have a ticket of
its own and will also vote for Miller
for Governor. Remember, change
of six hundred votes carried New
York. Another reason why we will
carry New York, and a very good
one: The Democratic campaign is
managed by Brice and the Republi-
can campaign by Quay. Another
reason is, and the best reason of all
The people of the North are protec-
tionists-protectionists to the core.
We have the advantage now in argu-
ments,

sounds well, is well, and the Ameri-
can people are going to endorse it at
the polls.

Cleveland is Repudiated.

New YORK, Sept. 25.-The ITi-
6uNe publishes over two pages of
names of Democrats in New York
who have openly avowed their dec
iaration to vote against Cleveland.
Following is the Iribune'S introduc.
ton to the publication. 1t tells an
eloquent story:
A revolt of the most determined
and widespread character exists in
the ranks of the Democracy of this
State. 1t is largely, though not en-
tirely, due to the position taken by
President Cleveland and his part yon
the tariff. The detection extends
throughout the State, from Rouse's
Point to Buffalo and from Lake Erie
to the sea. II is much greater, or
more pronounced, in some places
than in others, but there is scarcely a
village or township where, if there
is not open revolt of the ablest men
in the party, there is unmistaken
evidence of an intense dissatisfaction,
which is likely to prove as disastrous
to the Democratic ticket in Noyem-
Der as the more outspoken opposi-
ton. All along the Hudson river
and through the Mohawk Valley,
where are loca ted so many vast man
ufacturing interests in Washington,
Steuben and the other wool and
potato growing counties !; in the min
ing region of the north in the lum-
Der districts that border on the st.
Lawrence and Lake Ontario around
the salt wells in the central countries,
and throughout the broad farming
territory of the west and south there
is such reputation of the free trade
administration by lifelong Demo-
Gratis that in some sections it amounts
to a political revolution.

The Republican Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-The Re-
publican Senators have at last put
into shape tariff bill that they feel
they can go before the country with.
Senators Allison, Aldrich Hiscock
and Jones, the Republicans of the
sub-Finance Committee have COM
pleted their work, and to-day they
reported the bill to the committee,
The bill will not be made public at
present, as it is deemed best to allow
the Democrats time, to prepare mi
nority report. When this is done
probably in two weeks-the bill Will
be at once reported to the Senate.
The caucus last Saturday decided
that the bill should be debated and
an attempt made to pass it now, If
this cannot be done the Republican
Senators will oppose all efforts to adj.
journ. If, however, the bill is not
acted upon by the Goth or 25th of Oc-
tober, recess for about four weeks
will be taken. This is the Republic
can programme, and the leaders say
it will be adhered to.

else. 1t shows the author who has
been doing the stealing in bad nliobt
1t has we'll been called the "deadIy
parallel" In the same category we
might class the leverage humbuo y
about which we have heard so much.
and about which we are no doubt
fated to hear much more.
Let US see once how this average
business works. Col. Douglas the
Democratic candidate has told rs
that the average reduction is 7 per
cent. The tariff on rice, ACCORDING TO
the Mills bill, is 100 per cent On
bagging it is nothing. Rice israised
in the South. Bagging is made in
the North. There you have two ar.
ticles. Average reduction 50 per
cent. Again sugar is left at eS per
cent, Tin plate is made free. Guess
we must divide that to get an aver.
age, making 81 per cent on tin pIate
and sugar, What nonsense The
plain facts are averages wont work
on the tariff. If you take 1t off of
my product altogether, -.
does it help me if you pE.ceTi0 IL
1000 per cent on something else? The
people of Garrett county arelct to
be fooled in this way. The Nils bill
has made pretty nearly evgthing
produced in the North eithefree or
lowered the tariff, and by kping it
high on Southern products hagines
people will be satisfied with serages.
The assault on the industrit of the
North was all along the lie. The
same old slavery but the svery of
cheapness, the slavery of thaboring

the South realize that sIaverls dead.

Senator Stewart has introduced a

Lumber.

Democratic campaign orators will
soon be telling the people of Garrett
county that the Mills bill puts luln-
Der on the free list, and lumber now
must get cheap and thousand upon
thousands of new houses must go
right up if the Republicans will only
stand back and let the Mills bill be-
come law. How much cheaper,
we would like to know, and who is
complaining about the price of lum-
Der. Ask any saw.mill man of Gar
rett county about the actual profits in
the business and where he, his men
and his horses would be left granting
the price to be still lower. Cheap
ness. cheapness, is the great cry of
the Democracy. Reduce the tariff
and everything will be cheaper. Re-
duce the price of lumber. Then,
logically, reduce the price of labor.
Reduce the price of labor and the
laborer must be at disvantage, or
he must buy cheaper. Well what
must he buy cheaper? Why, what
does he buy for his family? Wheat?
Yes. Buckwheat. meat, clothing?
Oh, yes. Well, but they must come
down. The laborer, you know, won't
get as high wages, but you know,
they say, he will buy SO much
cheaper. Well. how much cheaper {?
Ask our friend, the farmer, can he
raise these things? Where are the
profits to our farmer with wheat
much less than dollar per bushel?
How much less can he afford to sell
his wool? One man and dog, they
say. can herds. 900 sheep. Yes, that
Is all right. That is just what they
do in Australia and Cape Colony, but
not in Garrett county. Our sheep
and wool cost all they bring. and so
1t is all the way through. We don't
want cheap times. We want good
times, with all kinds of business
booming, all at work that want work,
new enterprises springing up, new
coal mines, new saw mills, new work
shops and manufactures. We want
our children at school, we want them
well clothed, we want them to breath
the very air of freedom, be they rich
or poor. The pauper slavery of Eng
land and Europe, the enforced slaY-
cry of the South we want nothing to
do with. High wages brings good
times always. The people of Garrett
county have minds of their own, the
slave whip has been cracked over our
heads but never again. The laborer
is worthy of his hire. Degrade labor
and you degrade the country.

Democratic Economy

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-1e coun-

ing power for the county, wtch they
have held eyer since.
The session of 1882 opend some.

hopes and aspirations but as we
shall see, they were equal the oc-
casion, and ayailed themseIYS of the
full benefits of their opportunities.
The unchangiDg purpose isto bleed
the people for the benefit ofthe par
ty, and this year was no exception to
the general rule.
When the Legislature assembled,
and the delegates looked roum to see
what could be done for the benefit OF
the faithful, it was found tnt the
Republicans had about all the couh pity
Offices, and it was not the Sr-s,' Kr d
new assessment but they were Dem
ocrats to the manor born, and very
naturally did what was to be expec-
ted Of them.
Within the limits of the county
solitary Democrat held an office, the
Crier of the Court, whose salary
might be effected by Legislation land
while all the Republican county off,
cials were serving for small pay, they
passed them by, and raised the sal,
airy of the Democrat.
Just now, our Democratic friends
are talking a great deal about taxes (;
and it really seems funny-it must
be a coincidence or something but
whenever a Democrat introduces a
bill to change the salary of Demo.
crat, his pay invariably goes up; but
when he changes the pay of Re-
publican official, the Republicans
salary always goes down.
The Republican members from
Garrett reduced the salaries of the
Republican county officials, in the
interest of lower taxes, and for the
good of the people; but when your
Democratic law maker undertakes to
legislate on the momentous question
of salaries, it don't work that way.
1t goes up for the Democrat or down
for the Republican.
1t is heads-I-win, tails-you-lose
sort of a game, as played by them.
The fact is the breed of Democrats
indigenous to the soil of Garrett, be-
lieves in great big lot of fat offices,
made fat by fleeing the peopleysaua
an equal number of lean Democrats
to fill them. So when a Democrat
gets an Office they increase the paw,
and when Republican gets elected
to the same office, they reduce it. and
when there are not Offices enouoh IN
go round they have a patent on the
creation business, and know what to
do in the premises.
Having increased the pay of tho
only Democratic official In the conn
ty, and realizing the inadeuuacv of
such an effort, and also their resnon-
sibilities as Democrats and realizino
the additional fact that Democro flo
offices were somewhat scarce in tho
