Making a total of. ............... e..

Foreigners paid in duties for the priv
ilege of selling these products in our
markets about S1S,00O,000. They would
probably have sold five times as much if
there had been no duty.
Nova Scotia is supplying a large per
cent. of the potatoes in our coast cities,
and paying duty of fifteen cents per
bushel. If there was no duty the prov
ince would supply them all. Study the
above figures and you will then see why
your land is worth twice as much per
acre as it is on the other side of the st.
Lawrence River or in Nova Scotia. The
man that works for you will also
see why he gets $50 a month against
$l2 on the other side. The free traders
say: "Give us raw materials free and
products cheaper" If so, it must come
out of the producer, and nearly all your
produce is raw material. AS water finds
its level, so when you remove the duties
from farm products just so sure will the
farms and labor that produce them find
their level.
1t is true that wool would be cheaper
without any duty, until the American
sheep were driven out of existence, and
then you would have to pay the price
that the English syndicate choose to
ask. The reduction of the tariff on
wool in 1883 exterminated about one
third of our sheep. Injuring the inter
est of our American farmer will injure
the interests of all. If you drive 1,0OO,-
900 farmers out of the wool industry
they must produce other staples that
will come in competition with your pro-
ductions, so by voting to protect the
wool grower you protect your own in
tereStS.

FRANKNESS Is BEST.

New York Mail and Express.
Frankness is sometimes brutal, but it
is much to be preferred to deceit and
concealment. The recent utterances of
Ex-Governor Norwood, of Georgia, on
the subject of Negro suffrage are enti-
tied to commendation on this score.
This representative of the Southeast
ern 'chivalry" declares bluntly and in
the plainest English that the people of
the Southeast do not believe in the right
of the black man to vote, will not allow
him to vote, and will contemptuously
disregard and defy any Federal election
laws which may be passed for the pur-
pose of securing to colOred citizens the
rights of citizenship.
Thanks to you, Mr.. Norwood, for this
candid disclosure of the thoughts and
purposes of the people whom you repre-
sent. The open statements which you
and the men who are like you have
made regarding the problem of securing
a free vote and fair count in your sec
tion of this country are performing a
most useful work. They are teaching
the men of the Great North and West
what the fixed and final purpose is of
the dominant class of the Southeast in
respect to obedience to the Constitution
and the laws of the nation.

BELLS OF THE ANGELUS.

Bells of the past whose unforgotten music
Still fills the wide eNpanse,
Tnging the sober twilight of the present
With color of romance.
hear you call and see the sun descending
On rocks, and waves and sand,
As down the coast the mission voices blending
Girdle the heather land.
Within the circle of your incarnation
No blight nor mildew falls;
Nor fierce unrest, nor lust, nor lost ambition
Passes those airy walls.
Borne on the swell of long waves, receding,
| touch the farthereSt past
l see the dying glow of Spanish glory,
The sunset dream and last
Before me rise the dome-shaped mission towers;
The white presidiO,
The Swarth commander in his leather jerkin,
The priest in tone of snow.
Once more 1 see Portalass cross unlifting
Above the setting sun,
And past the headland, northward, slowly shifting
The frightened galleOn.
Oh, solemn bells! whose cOnSeerated masses
Recall the faith of old
Oh, tnkling bells! that luled with twilight music
The spiritual fold.
Your voices break, they falter in the darkness
Break, falter, and are still,
And veiled, and mystic, like the host descending
The sun sinks from the hill

The chemist of the Department of Ag-
riculture has completed very thorough
investigation of the baking powders
manufactured and sold in the country
He reports that the American people pay
about twenty-five millions of dollars an

cost to the manufacturers is less than
one-third of that sum. He further pre-
sents formula or recipe for a domestic
baking powder which he has found to be
entirely satisfactory and easily prepared.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER u, 1889.

OUR offer of low-rate campaign papers
met with responses from some of the
post-offices of the County. We desire to
express thanks to those of our friends
who interested themselves in the matter,
and to repeat the declaration that in no
other way can Republicans of the Coun-
ty so effec ually promote the good cause
in the campaign in which they will soon
be engaged.
The rate offered (25 cents each, in clubs
of ten and upward, until after the No
vember election, ought to add one thous-
and names to the subscription list of THE
CHRONICLE within two weeks. That ad-
ditional constituency would be reached
and stirred every week for about fifteen
weeks, at cost of less than two cents
week for each. Is this not, incompara-
bly,, the cheapest and best way to reach
the people? Is not the newspaper, 60
ing into families week after week for
more than three months, more apt to
make an impression than passionate ap-
peals addressed to men on the eve of the
election, at one hundred times the cost
The offer is still open, and we hope to
hear from every post office of the County.
Remember: The price is 25 cents for each
in clubs of ten or upward,
from the time received until the week
following the election.
This plan offers cheap, easy, and eff
fective way to reach the people, and the
of the County should avail
of it with spirit

THE Ohio WoOl-grOwers Association in
session at Columbus last week resolved
that they were in favor of the manufac-
turers of New England getting all the
protection they wanted, but that the man.
ufacturers should not interfere against
their protection, which is a far fairer res
olution than that of the manufacturers
who want all the protection they can get
on what they sell and all the free trade
they can get on what they buy.

Louisiana was victorious by more than
5000 majority at the election on Tuesday
of last week. This is half what it was in
the last election, when it amounted to
1858. The negro vote was light because
the negroes feared violence, which they
were threatened with before the election.
