Political Points.

Six States have voted since the opening OF
the Presidential campaign. Louisiana, Ala
bama, and Arkansas, Democratic States; and
Oregon, Vermont and Maine, Republican
States The majorities in the Democratic
States were in excess ofthe majorities in the
Republican States, but no especial rejoicing
by the Democrats was heard over this fact.
These results were looked upon by them as
matters of course. But when Oregon, Yer
mont and Maine voted on the Republican
side, as usual, the rejoicing of the Republi-
cans knew no bounds. They really seemed
to have anticipated disaster.
After all their Boosting kilograms from
Maine, it turns out that they did not hold their
own in that State. Although they increased
their vote 904, the Democrats increased their
vote 2l54. The Republican plurality is 49,
495, or less than it was in 1884, when it was
over q, GOO. 1t must be remembered, too, that
the Democrats of Maine had no aid from the
National Committee, while the Republicans
were assisted not only by their National Com
mittee, but had the benefit of the presence of
their great leader, Blaine, and vast number
of their best speakers, and the adventitious
aid of the hubbub raised over the fisheries
treaty just rejected by the Senate, and the
proposition to put their protected lumber
upon the free list And yet the Democrats
CALAMITY contested every foot of ground and
came out of the conflict with advantage.
This aspect of the Maine lection is decided
w encouraging.

Reformed and Became a Hero.

A letter to the New York Commercial
Advertiser, from Memphis, Tenn, says:
s'Ye and years ago in this city gay, free
liver, one Joseph Dutton, fell under the in
Auence of Christian minister and was per-
suaded to renounce the error of his ways
More than that, he resolved to atone for past
i'll deeds by a life of future strict piety among
the Trappist monks of Kentucky. Before
embracing it, however, he paid all his debts
with compound interest, and confessed to the
men and women who were his friends that,
instead of being single, as they had always
supposed, he was married to q woman he
had fondly loved, thinking her pure and good,
but had left upon finding her an adventures;
howhe got divorce, but sought out the poor
creature in her shame, and never rested till
he won her promise to turn away from It, and
live peaceably in place he provided for her.
Then the monastery's doors shut upon him
for years, till there came call for a volun-
teer to I'll the place of the man who had died
at his post among the lepers of the Sandwich
Islands, and Joseph Dutton answered it, and
went calmly to slow but certain DEATH For
two years be has faced and escaped it; but the
end will come after while. Meantime he
stays there binding up the sores of poor
stricken creatures, and now and then writing
cheerily to old friends in the Tennessee city. 2

The Prospect in Indiana.

Ex-senator Joseph L. Mcdonald, of In
diana, recently visited Democratic headquar-
tiers, in New York, and said II regard the
situation in Indiana as very favorable to the
success of the Democratic party. My opinion
is that the contest will be settled this year by
the same States that settled it in 1884, and
that the States that are decidedly Democratic
will give increased Democratic majorities,
and States that are decidedly Republican will
give increased Republican majorities. That
is the indication from the votes in the States
that have held State elections, and will prove
to be true in the presidential election"
Col. Brice, Just returned from his Western
trip, expresses the belief that not only is In
diana safe for the Democrats, but the Repub'
lcan majorities in all the Western States will
be much smaller than four years ago.

Forsaking the Sinking Ship.

The Washington Sunday Gazette, that has
been for years thorough going Republican
organ, announces that henceforth it will be
independent in politics. The change, Editor
Morrow frankly states, is due to his personal
investigation of the political situation in New
York. AtRepublican Headquarters he found
absolute apathy, and nothing that he could
learn while in town indicated to him that the
Republican campaign was being conducted
either with zeal or intelligence. Mr.. Morrow
sees too much of Blaine in the conduct of
affairs, and predicts that unless General Har-
rison consents to terms which will practically
place affairs in Blaines hands his fate will be
as disastrous as was that of Judge Folger.
He cites several instances to show this, gath
cred during a recent visit to New York, and
concludes by saying ~ predict that Cleve-
land and Hill will pull together, ard it will
take good deal of hard work to beat them if
Blaine stays in the background. If, however,
Blaine and his crowd persist in keeping con
spicuously to the front, then believe Cleve-
land will have a walkover."

How Farmers are Protected.
Fsom tie Philadelphia Times.


New YORK, Sept, 10. 1888.
a. n. Mcclure: Be honest and tell how
farmers are taxed for their wheat, corn, oats,
potatoes, hay, butter, pork and ali vegetables.
j. R. Claghorn.
Thanks to Farmer Claghorn for taking
pains while journeyIng in New York to have
the tariff taxes of the horny handed tillers of
the soil fully presented. We specially thank
Kim, as, in the multiplicity of high war tariff
taxes which are showered upon the farmer,
we had overlooked the taxes upon his own
products. Farmers are protected by tax of
20 cents per bushel on wheat, which protects
them to the extent of taxing them Just 20
cents per bushel, in addition to freight, for
the seed wheat they must now and then i'm
port. The farmers of the country last year
imported S2l8,O0 worth of wheat, wholly for
seed and paid 20 cents tax on each bushel,
and they exported S165, $780, 900 of wheat.
Farmers have also tariff tax protection of
a cents per pound on butter, and as our but
ter imports last year were S3S, 900 and our
butter exports $1,000, 900, the benefit to the
farmer won't be exactly visible to the naked
eye. Then they have a tariff tax protection
of 10 per cent on vegetables, but as our peo.
pie import 81, 100000 and export 81, 800. 900
the protection requires microscopic view to
get the hang of it. They have tariff tax
protection of 10 cents per bushel on potatoes,
and we export S31S, 200 and import $543, 900.
True, they have big tariff protection of
cents per pound on cheese but as we export
only S7,595,000 of cheese and import only
$4,000, the special blessing of that protec.
ton is decidedly mythical
Farmers have liberal tariff taxes on their
products, but as these taxes give them just
about no protection against foreign competi-
ton because there is next to no foreign COM
petition at all, the chief blessings of tariff tax
protection to the farmers are in taxing them
for the seed wheat they must import to i'm
prove their crops. Won't Farmer Claghorn
chip in again? We like to hear the fresh in
SEPARATIONS of the farmer who rises with the
layk and enjoys hard work, free air and end
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1888-09-22

Congressman Mcmillan spoke in the fourth
congressional district, Baltimore, on Monday
night. Federal taxation was his theme. He
said:
There has accumulated in the treasury at
Washington a surplus Of $4,000, 600, put
there from taxes wrung from the. people.
Not only is this accumulation locked up there
as surplus, but it is there by the next thing to
robbery. 1t is growing at the rate of 500 a
minute, to be temptation for every Jobber
who turns his face toward Washington. How
is this to be got rid of? The Republicans
say, spend it; the Democrats say. return 1t to
the pockets of the people. Harrison says,
buy government bonds with it. There will be
none of these bonds due until 1907, and to
buy them now at premium Of 20 per cent. is
what Harrison would do with the people s
money. The people throughout this land
have said, Down with such demagogy., 1t
is a question Of high taxes or low taxes. That
is the issue upon which this canvass is going
on. Grover Cleveland, in his Incompatible
message, asks for reduction of taxes.
Do the people want lover taxes. Ifso they
will vote for Cleveland.

TO REACH THE PEOPLE.
President Cleveland ON the Efficiency
of Democratic club Organization.

Hon. Chauncey F. Black president ofthe National
Association of Democratic Clubs. has received the
following letter from President Cleveland:
EXECUTIVE MANSION WASHINGTON, D. c.. Sept. ID
1SSS.-HoR. Chduncey r. Black, president, 6c.-My
Dear Sir: The papers which you kindly sent for my
perusa touching the scope, method and purposes OF
the association of Democratic clubs have strength
ened my belief in the extreme importance of such
organizations as have been thus associated The
struggle upon which we have entered is in behalf oil
the people-the plain people of the land-and they
must be reached. We do not proceed upon the
theory that they are TO be led by Others who may
may not be in sympathy with their interests. We
have undertaken to teach the voters as free indie
pendent citizens, intelligent enough TO SEQ their
rights interested enough to insist upon being treat
ed justly, and patriotic enough to desire their
country's welfare.
THUS this campaign is one of information and
organization. Every citizen should be regarded as
a thoughtful, responsible voter, and he should be
furnished the means of examining the issues inyoly
ed In the pending canvass for himself. am con-
WINGED that agency is so effective TO this end as
the clubs which have been formed. permeating all
parts of the country and making their influence felt
in every neighborhood. By systematic effort they
make the objects of the Democratic party under
stood by the fair and calm discussion Of the Demo-
cratic position in this contest and among those with
whom their members daily come in contact aud by
preventing neglect OF the duty of suffrage on cleo
ton day these clubs become in my opinion, the
most important nstrumentality yet devised for pro-
noting the success of our party. Yours. very truly

Our New Navy.

This country will soon have a splendid
Navy of thirty-on armored cruisers and
monitors, equal to any aAoat. So much for
the Cleveland administration. In the twenty
years of Republican domination, subsequent
to the close of the war, in which period over
three hundred millions of dollars were appro-
priated to naval purposes, not seaworthy
vessel was aAoat when the present admins
tration came into power. What went with
that vast sum of money, spent by the Repub-
licans, is profound mystery.
