Home Markets.

Toledo Blade
Why do Democratic merchants, as
we'll as Republican ones, insist on
peddlers taking out a license and
paying so much day before selling
goods in their towns? Do they do
it to protect themselves ? Then isn't
1T protection Do you want the fee
reduced ? Do you want English mer-
chants to peddle in yonr town with
out paying fee
Why do Democratic merchants oh.
Ject to people going to another town
to trade ? What makes them cry out
"patronize YOUR home merchants. If
you want to build up the town ?" Do
they do 1t to protect themselves
against foreign markets I?
Do they want all America to do as
they say, and "patronize home in
dustry to build up the country 2" Is
the medicine that will tone up town
not as good tonic for nation? Or,
isn't the sauce for the goose useful to
the Gander? How is it?
Why do merchants say, 1--WE pay
rent in this town we pay taxes here,
we keep up the schools, the churches.
the streets, the water.works we
keep up the whole town and we don't
want lot of fellows who don't pay q
copper for any of these purposes, ov.
er.running our town, selling that
which We should sell ?" They don't
want that, but they do want lot of
pauper European workmen, who
don't keep up a single American in
stitution, and who live in squalid
poverty and get a few shillings
week-they do want them to overrun
all America with their stuff.
But" they say, tive must buy In
the cheapest and sell in the dearest
market" Yes. that's business that's
good enough, so long as there is q
dearest market to sell in. When that
runs out. we're fiat.
People who live as European WORK.
ingmen do, don't tend to make
dear market" They don't need a
great deal of carpet they don't need
many chairs, bookcases nor books.
No. they have learned to buy cheap
and when things are not cheap they
don't buy at all. If the people have
no money, you will have to quit bus
mess. The people will buy in the
cheapest market, and the goose's
sauce will begin to accumulate in the
gander's dish, and he will have to
eat it whether he "hankers arter it"
or not.

Unassessed Lands in Garrett County.
G.. T. SWEET.

UnaSSeSSeu LanuS Ill UaTTelt COunJf'
1t is fact not generally understood
by the taxpayers of Garrett comfy
that nearly one third of the Military
Lots, besides other large surveys in
Garrett county, have never psid one
cent of taxes to the State or county.
Mr.. H. P, Tasker has been for two
years past making a speciality of
tracing the titles to and locating these
unassessed lands. In January last he
agreed with the Commissioners to 60
to the General Land Office at Annap-
oils and ferret out the rightful own.

sent. He has shown US his manu-
script, which covers over one thousand
pages of closely written extracts of
titles affecting the unassessed lands
alone. AS his compensation is to be
contingent upon the actual amount
of new assessments he brings in,
there are no just reasons for the I'M
favorable criticisms that have been
circulated. On the contrary, when
his labors are properly understood
and appreciated he will be regarded
as a public benefector by the over
burthened taxpayers of Garrett
county.

Mountain Lake Park.

AS soon as the camp-meeting closed
the people began to 60 away, so there
are but few left at any of the board
ing houses and hotel. A few of the
cottagers have left also.
The services last Sunday were I'M
usually good. Rev, Mr.. Elliott, OF
Washington, preached in the morn
ing and DR.. Bolton in the afternoon,
and at night Miss Jennie Smith and
Miss Sherman conducted a very in
teresting meeting. There were four
asked for prayers.
Miss Jennie Smith has charge of a
picnic to be held here on the 18th
inst, to which all the Sunday Schools
in reach are specially invited. Come
and bring your baskets. A substan-
tial dinner will he provided for those
who have not been provided for. A
brass band will give music.
We now have our bylaws in
pamphlet form, and are prepared TO
attend to any encroachments by
stock, People who have been letting
their stock run at large, and know
ing that they are or are likely to
come onto the grounds, had better
look after them, so that the officer
having charge of the grounds will
not be compelled to enfore the law
upon them.
All the entertainments this season
have been a real success. This has
been the first season that every thing
has paid its own way, and the Park
real estate is in advance of any
former year.
A meeting will be held here by
Miss Carrie Jud, beginning Septem-
Der 23d, and continuing up to the
30th. This, it is thought, will be
nearly if not quite equal to the
Friends meeting in July.
Miss Harris is now having a we'll
put down on her property, where she
is preparing to build her large cot

mean that every orchard should be
either on the top Of hill or we'll up
on some hillside, 10 that the cold
air as it descends from nlght-fall till
morning, will have ample room to
flow off or settle without enveloping
the orchard. Valleys are colder at
night than hill-tops which makes
more dew and frost.
AS to aspect, if the soil and eIeva.
ton were favorable, | should not
worry much about the direction of
slope. Grapes, peaches, pears and
ounces, in our county, will reach a
greater perfection if they have a
southern or southwestern exposure
the latter is preferable on account
OF being shielded from the morning
sun in case of late frosts, while with
apple the northwest is as good as
any. The better way, however, is
to plant an orchard on each side of
or entirely around the head of some
hobw. Then, whatever the freaks
OF L,,me Nature, we shall pretty gen.
%3W have some fruit and often
enough to sell. Some of us are de-
termined to make Garrett county
famous enough for her fine fruits that
the buyers will be on hand every
time for any surplus we may have.
The head of a hollow has the addi-
tional advantage that the fruit laden
trees in summer and the occasionally
sleet.laden trees in winter are pro-
tected from high winds.
It's we'll to remember, when plant
ing, to set those varieties most sub
iect to wind-fall in the more protect
ed situations.

To the Sunday Schools OfGarrett County

To the Sunday Schools OfGarrett County.
AS yice-president of the Maryland
Sunday School Union for Garrett
county, [ would respectfully ask that
special attention be paid TO the an
nual circular issued by the State Su-
perintendent of the old and worthy
institution referred to, soliciting dona-
tions for the various Sunday Schools
of this and other counties. In view
of the interest which the institution
has always taken in our county, and
its readiness to aid our schools, not
only by its conventions and insti-
tutes, but by liberal gifts of literature
to such as require aid, l deem it just
and right that each school should
give some pecuniary response, even
if the amount be small. Our schools,
too, have been negligent in sending
in their statistics, which hope will
be promptly done, as the general
State report cannot otherwise be cor
rect.
The Maryland Sunday School
Union is doing a great work in this
State, and merits our prayers. our
esteem, and our aid.
Fraternally,
