What Alex. H. Stephens Said.

From Major McKinley's Atlanta speech
The Hon, Alexander Stephens, a
distinguished citizen of your own
State, and endeared to the people of
the South, stated on June 90. 1882, in
the house of representatives, the
eheory so we'll that l beg to quote
from him:
1.-THE best way to raise revenue is
by duties upon imports, They-bear
less heavily on the taxpayers, and,
as legislators, that is what we should
look to. In levying duties on i'm
ports you can at the same time make
foreign producers pay for the use of
your markets, and in that way. in
cidentaly and properly, give aid and
protection to American industry. 1t
is not true as a general proposition
that the consumer pays all the duty
imposed upon commodities brought
from other countries. This is ques-
ton that | cannot now argue. In
most instances, where the duties are
judiciousIy laid, they are borne part
ly by the consumer and partly by the
impOrte'.
ITO allow congress thus to raise
revenueby duties upon imports was
one of tie main objects in establish
ing the federal constitution of 1887.
This system of internal revenue tax
alton by excise and stamp duties was
not favored by the early fathers OF
the republic in times of peace. l
speak plainly, and say that it was
looked upon then as not only of
British origin, but there was always
the odum of British Toryism at
tached to it in the American mind.
There was never any legislation
more abhorrent to the people of this
country, even in their colonial con.
ditiOn. than what was known as the
infamous stamp act"

The time is here when we can look
for outbreaks of typhoid fever, diph-
iberia and kindred diseases. Medi-
cal science has demonstrated that
many such outbreaks are due to bad
drainage towards the we'll, Don't
wait for the Board of Health to come
around. Resolve yourself into a
committee of one and 60 to work.
Remember the we'll is the low spot
towards which all drainage tends for
hundreds of feet. Stop the leakage
as best you can by means of bitches
or drains. Have spouts to carry off
all waste water, dish water and
chamber slops. We believe blind
drains to be a delusion and a snare.
Better ten times over an open drain
and cleaned out occasionally by flush
ing with fresh water. Don't imagine
that if you kill the Odor that you
have killed all disease germs, Save
all your coal ashes and use to disen-
feet and abolish the odOrS from the
priyy. DON'T build new house, dig
a well and then dig privy vault not
hundred feet off. Don't have any
privy vault. Keep all excretions on
level dry ground and use coal ashes
freely and remove frequently, as YOU
value the health of family or neigh
bors. We people of Oakland should
go into a committee of the whole
House and resolve to Danish every
nuisance, clean up and keep clean,
and then next spring show by ocular
demonstration that this is a clean
town and worthy of the name of

In all due respect we submit to our
friends of Allegany county that the

collect and spend the taxes. We have

OF all this. our old friends of Allegany
still think when it comes to getting
up ticket, that we are not able to
Ego it alone" The days of Adde'S
cence have come in all things but
this. But we are getting sensitive.
1t looks like an imputation of in
competency, and the fact is that we
resent it and naturally it causes i'll
feelings all around. We yield to no
one in allegiance to our mother coun-
ty. Her noble sons and daughters
are as dear to us as the apple of our
eye. But when it comes to fixing up
ticket, electing delegates, &C., we
like to do as we are at all other times
expected to do, "paddle our own
canoe" Some of these times we are
going to hold big fair. We are
going to bring together all our pro.
ducts, our big horses, cattle, sheep,
and hogs. We will bring out the big
turnip, potato and onion. In grain
we can show the biggest in height
and highest in yield. Then our fruits,
apples, pears. peaches, &C.. simply
beat the world. Then above all and
over all we will show what boys and
girls, and what men we have with
ruddy faces and muscles ready to
conquer the world. All this we are
going to do and then challenge the
world. We won't forget to show you
how we can shoot, how we can run,
hold the plow and what not. Mother

We would ask of the farmers and
laboring people of Garrett county
why they go on year after year vot-
ing for party whose record, legisla-
ton and general tendency is always
against your interests. Does not
every attempt TO injure American
industries come from the South ?
You know as well as we do that if
the Republican party was in power
no Southern free-trader would be
chairman of the committee that has
charge of such measures. You know
as we'll as we do that to put coal on
the free list would kill Western
Maryland so dead that to all intents
and purposes we might be fenced in

Is it wise? Is it honest? Is it pa
triotic, we ask you in all candor, to
further cast your votes with such a
party? Don't say your father voted
that way or some neighbor you don't
like votes the Republican ticket. We
have no time for child's play this
time.

that free trade is cry for campaign
purposes, look at the back files of

The Burlington Free Press shows
how the Protection issues added to
the Republican vote in Vermont.
The heaviest Republican gains have
been made in the large towns, like
Burlington, Rutland and BratteIboro
where the voters comprise a large
number of workingmen. 1.-THE re-
suits in these towns indicate plainly
that the workingmen are using their
own eyes and brains this year; that
they appreciate the business issue,
and that they are protecting their
own interest by voting with the party
which stands for the protection OF
American industry"

A Sacrifice to Grover.

The Republican press has not fol-
lowed up the charge of those Demo
cratic newspapers that opposed Judge
Thurman's nomination. Very little
has been said about the old gentle
mans infirmity. Republican news
papers are willing that Judge Thur
man shall stand or fall with the prin-
ciples he represents.
At the same time it becomes in
creasingly apparent that Judge Thur
man is in no condition to make the
campaign which the party managers
are forcing him to attempt. To drive
an old and infirm man to go through
his platform PAGES at the risk of his
life, keeping him up with stimulants
is nothing short of cruelty.
Judge Thurman can have little
substantial interest in these things.
The managers are looking to Mr..
Cleveland's advancement, Judge

rical display. - Wheeling Intelligent

Mr. Blaine on the Presidents Error

In an article on "The Presidents
error" IN the american Mdgdzine for
September, Mr.. Blaine says:
"Strangely enough the President
neglects, either from design or over
sight, to notice what effect the serious
reduction of the Tariff would haveOn
the 1,8l0.256 men employed in trans
portation on the railroads,
coastWiSe vessels, river steamers and
barges, canal wagon and stage lines.
These varied ways of transportation
represent an investment of thousands
of millions of dollars of American
money and give employment to near
ly 10000 of men, whose earnings
support 100000 of people. What
ever impairs American manufacture
ing strikes at the great transportation
interests. Iron ore admit ted free
from Spain, coal admitted free from
Nova Scotia, wool admitted free from
Australia, all favor British ships at
the expense of American railroads.
The further the President goes in the
direction of the doctrine laid down in
his message, the more direct and the
more deadly is the assault upon the
whole organization of American in
dustries."

The House Painters.

There is the greatest demand for
painters this year, that has ever
been known in Salem. The art of
house painting has become so fine a
one, that it is not every person that
can do it. 1t used to be that man
with a whitewash brush, and a
bucket of lime was a house painter.
Now whitewash brush, will not
do. The late style of painting and
finishing houses, requires that a
man be as thorough an artist, as
though he were going to paint a
buggy.
There are several first class house
painters, in this city, and they are
rushed all the time. There are a
large number of houses now being
repainted, and a large number
awaiting a visit from them. Gov.
Moody's residence, Hon. Ed
Hirsch's residence, Ed Hutchins'
new cottage on Mill street, Mrs. A.
F. Cox's home on Summer street, r.
B. Fleming's new cottage on Cot
tage, and Center streets and numer-
Gus other houses are being repainted,
and there are several new cottages,
the outside of which are nearing
completion, that will be ready for
them in few days.

Indians in Harney valley and vicin-

blind women and ten blind men.
The greater number of these Indians
are said to be in starving condi-
ton, begging from door to door by
which means they manage to exist.
