There IS to Independent or Mug
wump Party IN this campaign. Those
who left the Republican Party in
1854, because they could not vote
for man whose record was not clean,
will now join themselves to one party OF
the other. They have no such excuse
as they had four years ago. General
Harrison is worthy any mans support
If they 90 into the Democratic Party
it will be because four years of affilia-
ton with that party has converted them
to its ways and principles, or because
they are and have Eeen at heart out Of
accord with the Republican doctrine
OF Protection. If they want to take the
road to Free Trade the Democratic
Party is their proper company. The
Republican Party is committed heart
and soul to the policy of Protection OF
American interests and on this issue it
goes to the people, and confidently
expects to win.

This country has prospered beyond
all precedent under the economical laws
of the American system of protection
while countries that have rot had this
system have kept behind or renamed
stationary. The free traders and theil
English leaders promise US the ''mar-
kets of the world" and yet those
English leaders are responsible for the
idleness, the poverty and the crime Of
hundreds and thousands OF sturdy Irish
men who cannot get work because the
"markets of the world" do not need any
more goods than their English masters
themselves can make. If the "markets
of the world" 200, 900, 900 of human
beings according to Mr.. Frank Hurd OF
Toledo, O., are waiting for cheaper
American goods, why does not England
convert the idle and poverty stricken
population of Ireland into busy and
well paid weavers and spinners? If the
"markets of the world' are crying for
goods, why do not the English states
men put to work at manufacturing the
thousands of starving men and women
of London? Can this country ever ex-
pect to manufacture things more
cheaply than they are manufactured in
a country where the operatives are
certain OF the poorhouse in their old
aye or in sicknesso

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 proportion
of worklngmen who own the homes
they occupy. In no other country does
the fiscal policy so decidedly favor the
man who honestly and industriously
endeavors to better his condition in
life. Nowhere else in the world can the
laborer get SO many of the necessaries
and comforts OF life for days work as
here in the United States. All this we
are asked to menace by adopting a
policy that has thrice brought disaster
to the business of this country-a policy
with but one aggressive advocate among
all the nations OF Europe, and that one
nation to-day presenting within her
borders some of the strongest possible
arguments against the policy she seeks
to enforce upon others.

The only reductions made in tariff
duties since the war have been made by
Republicans. The magnitude of these
reductions is shown by the statement
that if the rates of duty imposed by our
tariff laws prior to July I4th, 1870, had
been applied to the importations OF
1887, the amount of duties collected in
the latter year would have aggregated
S359,629,II7.I5, an excess OF $3.50,
5e5,693.25 over the amount actually
collected under the present law. The
average ad valorem duty upon all i'm
portations of merchandise in 1887,
dutiable and free, was 3I.I3 per cent.
If the war tariff duties had been LEVIED
the average rate would have been ST.
76 per cent.

Eugene Higgins is Baltimore poll
uClan who has achieved national noto-
riety. The New York Mail and En-
press pays HIM a deserved tribute ::
Higgins is a turnover, machine pol
ltlcian of the dangerous plug ugly type.
Through the influence OF Senator Cor
man he was made appointment clerk
in the Treasury Department, where he
remained until the pressure from the
civil service reformers became so great
that he was suspended. He was one
of the men who was sent into Indiana
in 1876 to work for Samuel J. Tilden
and in every national campaign since
that period he has been intrusted by
the Democrats with important secret
underhand missions. He has spent
nearly a month in this city, and the
result of his observations is that he tells
his friends quietly not to place any
bets on Cleveland, As Higgins is a
gambler, Doth by nature and profession,
his advice is significant of his belief
that Harrison and Morton will be
elected.

The Rising Sun Meeting.

The Republicans OF the Third DIS
trict and in fact every other district OF
the county owe it as matter OF justice
TO their party brethren OF the Sixth dis
trict TO attend their grand rally a: Rls
ing Sun on Friday the Second of No
vember. The spirit and enthusiasm
which that district has shown during
the campaign, justly entitle it to the
credit of being the banner district OF
the county. Not only has it the largest
working club of the county, handsomely
uniformed, but it has twice compll-
mented Elkton by turning out in force,
and it is only matter of party courtesy
that the Republicans of the Third dis
trict should return the compliment an!

Farmers prospects are improving.
Wheat is now worth over dollar a
bushel, with an upward tendency, and
the price of all other grain is Slightly
advancing. Hay is looking up, and
dead hogs are now worth 81 cents,
higher than they have been tor years.
With good grain harvest, great yield
of potatoes and corn, the farmers should
not complain of the years business.

General Harrison punctured a thin
spot with Free Trade argument the other
day. He quoted from Mr.. Mills to the
effect that nothing radical in the way Of
reduction was intended by his party, and
then asked why, if small reduction OF
the tariff was to be such great boon to
the workingman, why not make a big
reduction, and make great whopping
big boon and boom2 Mr.. Harrison
should remember that just in this spot
the Democratic ice IS very thin.

Your Democratic friends say that a
Protective Tariff is robbery. You see
this written at the head of campaign
tracts circulated by their committees.
You hear it said in the public speeches
of their leaders. You have not once,
think, in the campaign heard any Dem
ocratic speaker admit that even a low
Protective Tariff was desirable. Those
who, like Mr.. Randall, have in former
campaigns been used to allay the appre-
hension of our working people by talk
ing Protection have been silenced. On
the other hand, the Republican party
declares by its platform and by its
speakers that Protective Tariff is wise
and necessary. There is the issue.
Make your own choice. II you approve
by your votes the doctrine that Pro
tective Tariff in public robbery, you will
expect your representatives to stop this
public robbery, and If they are faithful
they will do it, not 7 per cent, OF it, but
all of it. applause, and cries of
"Thats it.") So that beg you all to
recollect that you will vote this fall for
or against the principles of Protection.
You are invited to a feast of cheapness.
You are promised foreign-made goods
at very low prices, and domestic COM
peting goods, if they are made, at the
same low rates. But do not forget that
the spectre of lower wages will also at
tend the feast. applause and cries
