why He Will Support CLEVELAND.

A letter to the Baltimore Sun from Hagers-
town, Md, says:
Mr.. George Mish, one of the largest land
owners of Washington county and one of its
most successful farmers, whose home is in
Clearspring, and who has voted the Republi-
can ticket since the organization of that party,
has declared his intention to vote for Cleve-
land, Douglas and tariff reform, and gives the
following reasons for doing so. He said =
'My departure from the Republican party is
not sudden. For some years past | have
failed to see how the farmer is benefited by
laws made to increase the price of everything
he buys withGlt any compensation or increase
of value for what he sells. That the maui
facturer believes in and votes for high pro-
teetive tariff ! can readily understand; but in
-viewof the fact that the farmers market fol
corn, wheat and meat is certain, stable and
fixed in far off England, beyond the control
of our government, / cannot see how any fair
minded farmer can vote for system which
makes him pay higher prices for his clothes,
his shoes, his hat, in fact, for every article OF
domestic consumption, unless, indeed, he is
actuated by motives Of so great patriotism as
to be willing for the general good of his coun-
try to make sacrifice of Al per cent. of his
earnings to assist in the establishment Of
charitable institutions for the benefit of his
fellow men.
s'0f course all this is good, noble and IN
selfish, in one sense, hut in view of the many
land mortgage companies which are advertised
in almost every newspaper, II appears in an
other sense questionable and at times even
doubtful whether we should encourage enter
prises and industries which have achieved
such remarkable success as to place millions
of dollars In farm mortgages at !, 8 and per
oent without losing n dollar as these COM
panies encouragingly report. Still, viewing
the fact that this had been going on for %
years, the time has come. in my opinion, fol
our infant industries to make a step of per
cent. towards self support, in order that the
farmer and his wife may be sufficiently released
from WORK as to be able to become acquainted
with each other before they die. 1t might be
desirable to have plenty of millionaires to
support the dignity of the country in regal
state abroad, but it seems to me equally de.
sirable to have in the distribution Of wealth
enough money remain among the middle and
lower classes to support the dignity of labor
and responsibility at home
