Action on the Tariff.

In the House ON Monday, the Tariff bill
was considered, and by vote of 40 TO 1O2
wool was placed on the free list. Minor
amendments to the bill were adopted. The
final vote was to have been taken on Thurs
day, but, as many members were absent who
wish to go ON record, the vote was postponed
until to day, Saturday, in order to afford
them an opportunity to be present. Mr..
Breckenridge, in an interview with a reporter,
a few days since, thought the bill would pass.
He said lyon must remember that an i'm
mense number of manufacturers will be ben
Gifted by placing the raw material on the free
list. Take undressed hides, for instance.
This article was placed on the free list in
1872, and since then the exports of manufac-
tured leather have increased to large extent.
Yet the Republicans want to put a high rate
of duty on hides, amounting on the total i'm
portations to Sl,700,0oo. This would be a
direct tax on the manufacturer. The plac-
ing of wool on the free list will benefit the
manufacturers and cheaper clothing, blankets
and carpets, because there is not enough wool
produced in this country to meet the demand,
and large quantity is yearly imported, the
tax on the raw material enhancing the price
of all woollen fabrics.

Harrison's Record.


Gen. Harrison's full record is gradually
coming to the light, and will fully be brought
out before this campaign is over. He began
his political career in 1856, as Fremont
man, or Free Soier. He voted fourteen
times in Congress in favor of Chinese immi
grafton, and in 1877, during the labor strike,
he proposed bullets for the laboring men.
He was also Know Nothing. This is his
record, as brought ont, on Saturday night
last, by his neighbors, on their banners and
transparencies, at the great Democratic Rati-
fication meeting at Indianapolis. Ex-senator
Mcdonald touched on Gen. Harrison's war
record. He said that he was in no hurry to
rush to the camp. He suffered sixty-fve reg
iments to pass his door before he put on his
uniform, and was not at all eager for the
fray. On one of the transparencies of the
laboring men were these words Harrison
proposed bullets for Workingmen in 1877,
Workingmen will prepare ballots for Harri-
son in 1885, And thew will Workingmen
take no stock in Harn N, who would have
shot them down in 1877. when they struck
for their rights.

For Congress,
HERMAN STUMP,
OF HARTFORD COUNTY.
Election Tuesday, November 9Th, 1855.
The Contest.

We shall feel but slightly, in Maryland, the
surging waves of the Presidential battle, COM
pared with what will be felt in those States
which are close, such as New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, and Indiana. In the
last named State, the most extended prepa-
rations are making, by both parties, for
opening the campaign early in September.
The Republican National Committee will call
upon every available speaker, in either house
of Congress, to take the stump. Senators
Sherman, Allison, Cullom, ingalls,, Frye,
Hoar, Hale, Hiscock and Spooner, are all
expected to take part in the debate. The
House will also furnish large number OF
speakers, among them Messrs. Mckinley,
Cannon, Mason, Henderson, Boutelle, Reed,
Long, Lodge, Grosvenor and others.
The Democrats are not less active and en-
ergetic. They have determined that Indiana
shall not be captured by the Republicans,
though they should send to that State all
their eloquence and all their money. They
have polled the State, and know the political
status of every man in it. Democratic clubs
are organizing all over it, and the organization
will be made as perfect in all parts of 1t as
human skill and determination can accom-
plish. Mr.. Thurman himself will take the
stump and make thorough canvass OF the
State. He will be assisted by Senators Turpie,
Voorhees,, Breckenridge, Vest, Cockrill, Coke
and Reagan, Speaker Carlisle, Sunset Cox,
Frank Hurd, Daniel Dougherty, McMillin,
Springer, Cultivate, and others.
The Democrats will open their campaign
about the same time as the Republicans, and
will push it with an energy and determination
hitherto unknown to any party in this or any
other country. Indeed, they are already in
the field, and the grand ratification meeting
at indianapolis, on Saturday night last, was
one of the most spirited and enthusiastic
ever held. 1t was but the forerunner Of
others yet to come, into which all the fire
and enthusiasm possible to men in the deep
est earnest will be concentrated. The Demo
cratic party means business, and not only in
Indiana, but all over this broad land, from
now until the last ballot is in the box on the
sixth of November next, there will be no
cessation of work, no relaxation of effort, to
put the Republican party hors de combat.

At the great ratification meeting of the
Democrats at Indianapolis, on Saturday night
last, Hon. William H. English presided, and
the meeting was addressed by Gov. Gray,
Ex-senator Mcdonald, and Hon. J. B. Brown.
Five thousand men were in hne, with music,
banners, torches and transparencies. 1t was
midnight before the speaking ended. They
promised a rousing majority for Cleveland
and Thurman in November next. The Re-
publcans will try hard to carry Indiana, but
their candidate is not popular at home, and
hey will have hard time of it.

This is to be campaign to be fought on
principle-whether the taxes collected shall
bear reasonable proportion to the revenue
necessary for an economically administered
government, or whether they shall be laid to
yield huge surplus to threaten business and
tempt to gross extravaganza, and to build up
and foster oppressive monopolies and trusts.
No foolish and ridiculous talk about free trade
will be.permitted to becloud the subject The
people are too intelligent to be led astray by
such stuff. They know that there is not much
free trade about an average import duty of
forty per cent, that will yield $l5s, 900
Annually.

The man who writes and talks about the
war, in connection with the issues of the
present campaign, is just twenty-three years
behind the times. 1t is notorious fact, too,
that those who did any real service in either
army do not now discuss the war and the
events leading to it Go anywhere, North,
South, East or West, and nine out of ten of
those who are talking war-about rebels and
traitors on the one hand, and the yankees on
the other-are those who were continually on
the sick list, on detailed. duty in safe places,
or we're valiant only with their tongues. True
soldiers, who commended for principle, have
put the war behind them and laid aside pre-
JUDGES. Those who skulked, or fought, bled
and died" at the tail of suffers wagon, are
now the tongue-valiant men who are ready
if you could believe what they say-to wade
kuee.deep through fields of carnage. But
they are the laughing. stocks of the true sol

The public heard much during President
Garfelds affection of his ''brave struggle"
for life and recovery from the wound that
ultimately proved mortal. Then of General
Grants ''heroic resistance" to the ravages Of
the cancer in his throat, to which he ulti-
mately succumbed. Then the ''heroism'' of
the Emperor Frederick, under similar attic
ton, was the subject of widest comment.
And now every one is told of the "pluckn of
Gen. Sheridan, as likely to enable him to
''pull through" What can pluck, or the
power of the human will do against inexora-
Bile fate? 1t is the merest balderdash to say
that any effort of the will of man can stay the
progress of disease.

Change of Base.

In Cincinnati, on Thursday, July 8, before
the Chamber of Commerce, Senator John
Sherman said-sEvery man of sense knows
that the Government should not collect any
more money than is actually necessary to
carry on the business with close economy.
Congress ought to devise some mode to dis
pose of this surplus" Sherman is consider
ably in advance of his party on the subject of
the tariff, but his utterances will not change
his vote in the Senate. Nevertheless, he &C.
cupies Democratic ground, in theory, at least.

1t has been our custom for years to call all
farmers attention to our various brands of
Fertilizers for fall crops. But the first thing
we want to do is to congratulate our farmers,
and with them all citizens, ON the excellen
crop of wheat and rye just harvested in our
county 1t is also source of great pleasure
for us to know that the various brands of
Fertilizer sold by us last fall in competition
with so many others has in every case equaled
our competitors. and in very many cases far
exeelled them, both in the yield of wheat and
rye and in its maturing
One of our customers, to whom we sold four
tons last fall, can't praise it enough. He has
just left his order for nine tons for this fall.
Another party, who used but half ton of our
Fertilizer last fall, and several tons of other
goods, intends to increase his acreage in wheat
this fall, and will use all of our goods
Another farmer, whom we induced to try
some of our Cheap Fertilizer-our $50 goods
used it by the side of fertilizer he bought
of an agent, and for which he paid forty per
cent more for than he paid us. Ours gave
him equally as good results
The reports we have from the clover where
our Fertilizer was used is satisfactory.
We have many other reasons and facts why
we think it would pay the farmers to get their
Fertilizer from US this fall, and will present
them in later advertisements, and request
everybody to look out for them and read them,
Very respectfully,
