number. IL sets forth fully the Rrgu.
ments Of the prOtectiOnist against tariff
tinkering. Mr.. Edmunds sketches the
history OF England, and shows how by
protective laws she raised herself to her
present high position; and he assumes
the position, and defends 1t, that the
burden OF the tariff does not rest upon
the consumer, but the foreign importer.
Then he discusses what effect free-trade
would have on this country, and winds
up the article with suggestions as how
best to reduce the surplus.

Killed by a Blast,

A terrible explosion occurred last
Thursday on the new railroad being
built between Berkeley Springs and
the main line of the b. & o. Railroad,
which resulted in the instant death of
j. III. Shackleford, foreman of the
road, and the serious injury of three
colored men named Andrew Smith,
William Stotler and Henry Green.
The accident was caused by the pre-
mature explosion of a blast. Foreman
Shackleford who was formerly an
agent of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road at Sleepy Creek, had been super
intending the blasting of a number of
huge rocks, and had succeeded in
clearing out a number of boulders.
Before clearing away the debris he
started to reload d blast, and was sur
rounded by the colored men and other
help. While placing in the charge
the powder exploded, throwing Shack
leford some distance, and covering
him with pieces of broken rock. The
colored men were also thrown vio-
lently to the ground. Smith had sew
eral ribs of his right side broken.
Stotler was badly cut about the head
and injured internally. Green was
also hurt about the head The body
of Mr.. Shackleford was removed to
the shanty, and Drs. Perkins and Sti-
gers summoned. Life was extinct.
The physicians removed both plates
of the skull of Smith, who is thought
to be fatally injured. Green will prot
ably lose the sight of both eyes. Stot
Ter may recover. Smith and Green
We're badly disfigufed. Foreman
Shackleford leaves family. The
colored men also have families.

THE SAME OLD THING.

There don't seem to be very much
Improvement in the Republican meth
DDS of campaigning. During the last
campaign their orators and newspa-
pers openly asserted or slyly intima-
ted that if Democratic President
should be elected the negroes would
be put back into slavery, all the reb-
els would be pensioned, the govern
ment would be busted" and the
country go to smash generally. a
Democratic President was elected, but
so far no negroes have been made
slaves, no rebels pensioned, the gov
eminent has been wisely and econom-
ically administered, and the country
is as prosperous as it is possible to be
under such pernicious tariff laws.
This year the Republicans are cam
paigning in the same old way. OF
course they are not putting out the
same old exploded yarns, but they are
circulating others just as foolish and
false as those proved to be. Now they
are telling the voters that if Democra-
cy again triumphs and its tariff reform
policv is successful, the United States
will not be fit to live in. They tell
him that if clothing is made cheaper
by revision of the tariff he won't
have money to buy food; if salt is
made cheaper he won't get enough
wages to buy flour; if the mechanic
gets his tools cheaper he won't be able
to buy sufficient food to give him
strength to use them; if the farmer
gets agricultural implements at re-
duced prices he will not have the
means to buy seed to plant his ground.
And so on through the whole list they
go, making the most absurd state
ments without any argument or facts
to support them.
Time was when many persons
through ignorance or blind partisan
ship would swallow all these stories.
But things have changed now, and
voters are beginning to think intelli-
gently for themselves. And the closer
they study the tariff question the
more firmly they will be convinced
that the great body of the people will
be benefited by tariff reform. The
present tariff has built up immense
monopolies in every branch OF trade,
and made millionaires of manufacture
ers while it beggared the laborer
Now the Democrats propose 10 cut
down the enormous profits of these
wealthymonopolists and force them to
let the laboring man have a fair share
by making the necessaries Of life
cheaper. That's what the Democrat
ic party is here for.
Voter. are you for the Republican
high tariff doctrine that creates and
fosters monopolies and millionaires,
or for the Democratic policy of tariff
reform in the interest Of the whole
American people?
