"If like result of chcapness Is to
follow an approach 10 Free Trade here,
| an alternative is presented which it is
we'll for a large class of our people to
seriously consider before aiding to
strike down the policy under which our
| country has hitherto made such adj
vances IN wealth and greatness.
1--WE may well be appalled, in con-
templaling a shrinkage in real estate
values IN the United States to one half
the extent experience III England, and
| the losses OF farms and homes it would
| entail upon those il dustrlous tOilers
who have incurred debts in securing
homes for themselves and families.
| Under a decline of one-fourth its pres
ent value, tine man who had bought a
home for $4,000, and by years of IN
dustry and saving paid $1,000, would
still find himself owing $1,000 for prop
erty worth but $500. In the midst of
the cheapness with which he has been
caioled the payment OF this sum would
be more difficult than the original $4,000
under existing conditions of ready sale
of products and fair returns for labor.
If the adoption of the English policy
bv the United States should be followed
by one. half the reduction IN real estate
values hat England has experienced
within the past few years, mortgaged
farms and homes would revert by thous-
ands to creditors, who like the land
lords of England, would permit what
could not be rented to 60 out of til
lage.
"In no other country than ours does
so large percentage of farmers own
the land they cultivate In no other
country is there so large a proportion
of workingmen who own the homes
they occupy. In no other country
does the fiscal policy so decidedly
favor the man who honestly and in
dustriously endeavors to better his con-
dition in life. Nowhere else in the
| world can the laborer get so many of
the necessaries and comforts of life for
a days work as here in the United
States. All this we are asked to menace
by adopting a policy that has thrice
brought disater to the business of this
country policy with but one aggres-
sive advocate among all the nations of
Europe, and that one nation today pre-
senting within her borders some OF the
strongest possible arguments against
the policy she seeks to enforce upon
| others. While the Golden Club and
leading British journals are preaching
the benefits of Free Trade, the British
farmer is depressed, 100000 workmen
are idle, and the police of London are
kept busy suppresslng uprisings of men
made desperate by hearing their chill
dren cry tor bread. Nothing can be
dearer than "cheapness" bought at such
a price; nothing more un American
than policy which makes such con-
ditior possible"

difficult to find out who the defec,

can be no such trouble, however in. the
case of Judge Yellott of the Court Of
Appeals OF Maryland, who has just de-
clared his intention to alb .ndon the
Democratic party and vote for Harrison
and Morton. This certainly is one oil
the best decisions the Judge ever rem

Our Congressional Candidate.

We have for long time enjoyed the
pleasure of a personal acquaintance
with Col Lang, and welcome him as
the Republican standard bearer in this
district. He is an Intelligent and worthy
exponent of Republican principles. To
the soldier element of our voters he
ought to be particularly acceptable, on
account of his high personal qualities,
his genial and cordial good fellowship,
a. well as his excellent military record.
Now there is just one thing to be I'M
pressed uron the Republican voters Of
this county as an act of justice to him.
1t has been unanimously rendered him
by the nominating convention as a
recognition of his fitness, his ability, and
his acceptabllity as candidate. There
is therefore, we maintain a greater OBJ
legation upon the part OF the Republi-
cans OF this county and the entire dis.
trlct to make his cause their own, and
to throw some vim into the canvass
with view to his election. We pledge
him our cordial support by every hon
orable means at our command and be-
speak for him from Cecil Republicans
the most cordial endorsement.
Now there are three good reasons
why Col. Lang ought to receive the
largest vote thrown in recent years in
this district for Republican Congress
sional candidate. In the first place he
is brave Union soldier, who shouldered
his musket and took his place IN the
ranks when his country needed his ser
vices. His personal bravery and cool
judgment in the field readily COM
handed merited promouor, and he left
the army Colonel. This record should
make every soldier his active and earn
est supporter.
In the second place unlike his Dem
ocratic opponent, Col. Lang is a man
pre- eminently of the people, with the
working classes of which he has warm
affiliations and of whom he is one. He
has had no ariStocratic aids to success
in lite, but has by htrI knocks and in
dlvidual endravor W ,rked his way on.
He knows the needs of the daily toiler
for his bread for he has by association
with him famliarized himself with the
great political questions which so init
mately concern his interests. He knows
what protection" means when applied
to the American workngmln. He
knows it means a "home' with the
domestic comforts necessary for self
respecting husbands and wives, with
schooling, clothing, and maintenance
for the children. He knows that the
welfare and standing Of the American
mechanic, his ability to hold his place
in the daily struggle for family and
kindred, are involved IN the contest be-
tween the friends of protection and the
advocates of free trade. He is not
descendant of the Maryland and Vir
GINA land owing classes who have no
sympathy for and little klnshlp with the
toiling masses. To them therefore his
candidacy should be especially accept
able.
In the third place the merciless
"squelching" which DIR. Shaw received
at the hands of his Democratic brethren
in this district was not calculated to
foster harmony in the party, or beget
zeal for Mr.. Stump's candidacy. Indeed
the fact is, that with the milk and water
support of the large Democratic con-
tingent of Carroll county which espoused

Dr. Shaw's interests, the magnified and
multiplied differences OF the Democracy
in Baltimore county largely attributable
to the dark ways of that manipulatlve
genius Fred Talbot, with the chronic
split, eternal and everlasting in Cecil,
between the old Bosses and the rev
Masters, our candidate has better
prospect of success than that offered
any recent Republican Congressional
candidate in the district.

NO FREE TRADE FOR HIM,

faction.

But Strong for Harrison, Morton and Pro-
lection.
Judge George Y elliott, of Towson, who
is member of the MARYLAND Court of
Appeals, is quite open and pronounced in
the expression of his decision to vote for
Harrison and Morton and to support the
Republican ticket in the coming election
Though he is quite modest in lis position,
lie is very firm in his stand, and his decis-
ion is all the more eloquent, as it is the
conviction impressed by an intelligent
aud unprejudiced review of the ex-
perience OF the country during the past
torty-eight years. Says the venerable
Judge:
