The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1888-07-28

@We commend to the thoughtful
consideration of every wage Garner, every
business man, and every property
owner in Cecil county without regard
to partizan politics, or party associa-
ton, the following cogent and unan-
swerable presentation.of the effects of
the Mills Bill upon the industries of
Cecil county were it to become law
The writer of this rticle is we'll known
in this county. He has been life long
Democrat, and has never voted any
other ticket. He sees the hopeless
drift of his parry towards Tree trade and
the inevitable disaster to our manufac
turing industries that would follow. He
has carefully studied the subject of the
tariff as great economic question, and
he believes that the reasons which JUS
THY him in voting against his party on
the issue of prot, ction and free trade,
will equally justify every other Demo-
Graf who values the industrial interests
of this county, and wishes them pros
perity, in doing the same thing. He
believes that instead of assisting bv his
vote i'll breaking down the manufactur
ing interests of Cecil county, he should
rather aid by his vote in buildlng them
up, and in fostering and maintaining
them tor the common benefit of all our
people.

Tie July Crop Report.

The July crop report, just promulga-
ted by the commissioner of agriculture,
contains the following comments upon
the corn crop: "The crop in Maryland
looks better on high and dry lands than
on levels. There has been abundance
of rain, with low temperature, until re-
Gently. A few reports hint Of incipient
drought, relieved by showers toward the
end of the month. The plant is short,
healthy andgrowing. The general ten.
or Of Virginia returns, as to late plant
ing and slow early growth, is similar,
and similar improvement by late rains
and higher temperature is chronicled.
The injury from cut-worms has frequent
mention, affecting the stands and re-
quiring replanting. June was fayora-
BILE to cultivation and growth the lat
ter part of Nav, and in some places the
first days Of June, were unfavorabls by
reason Of excess of rain and low temp
erature.
In his notes on Maryland the State
agent says: "The area devoted to corn
is somewhat greater as compared with
1887 but the condition, owing to the
wet and cold spring cut-worms and 9th
er local drawbacks, is many points be-
low normal. The winter wheat area is
less than last year, and much that was
sown was winter killed, yet indications
are that 1T will prove great crop, both

WASHINGTON, July 30th, 49,.
The Secretary Of the Treasury, in re-
ponse to Senate inquiry as to properly

claim, but which is held in adverse pos
session has sent most remarkable doc.
umcnt to that body, in the shape OF a
report made by H. B. Littlepage, an
agent of the Treasury department, who
was formerly in the employ of the Con-
federate Government. According to
this report there are many million dol
lars worth of property still IN existence,
which formerly belonged to the Confed-
crate governmen, and to which the I'm
tied States is entitled, The property
consists of vessels of various kinds ma
chinery, money, real estate, etc. Some
of it is in Europe and some in this coun-
try. Just why Mr.. Littlepage should
have kept this valuable information all
to himself for all these years, is not ex.
planned, and if Uncle Sam ever gets IN
the notion to 60 hunting after the
mythical millions, am afraid he Will
find it wild goose chase.

The fiercest and most destructive hail
storm known to the Oldest inhabitants pass
ed over this section on Friday last about 5
o'clock. p. m. 1t came from the northwest F.;
the cloud was exceedingly black and its mo-
ton was wonderfully rapid. The hail fell in
torrents, very large in place and of all shapes.
Cornfelds, gardens and truck patches were
laid waste in few minutes. Window
lights were broken in quantities and old
whitewashed buildings and fences here have
the appearance of being riddled with buck
shot Chickens were killed, and few dead
birds were found. On level the hail was
three inches deep and along the mountain
slopes where it had been washed two feet
deep was no rarity.
