What ga NJ cans.

The Record, one of Philadelphia leading
daily newspapers, published the following
about the A manufacturers whose inter-
esting advertisements are appearing in our
columns:
"Wm. Ayres & Sons, manufacturers of
horse blankets, lap busters, horse sheets,
fly nets, etc, are the largest makers of horse
ing strong, honest goods which will stand
rough usage, and ill literally advertising
them. This wise policy has led 10 an enor-
nous business and 3 A Horse Blank have
become known throughout be entire United
States as the best and strongest. The ga
manufacturers have three large mills in
Philadelphia, in addition To their New Eug-
land mills, giving employment to a very
large number Of working people Owing to
their superior facilities for spinning the
yarns, weaving the cloth and making up
the goods, they are enabled to make strong
blankets at as low price as other manufac-
turers can make weak ones.
"Many are asking what ga means. ga
on a horse blanket means that it is the
strongest which can be obtained for the
money. The popularity of this trade mark
(the figure followed by an Al, was sug-
gested by the fact that there were fiv Ayres

"There is nothing easier in finance
than to show surplus if you have the
money, and if you collect the money
and don't use it for the purpose for
which you collected it, but lock 1t up
in bank, for the banks sole profit, YOU
are sure 70 have it. Doubtless the FIRST
National Bank of Elkton highly APP
proves of this financial policy, as it
helped its little balance of deposits right
smart, discount days ; but where did the
taxpayers come in for their share OF
profits Zeal Democrat.
When tax payer reflects that the
surplus to which the editor of the Dem
ocrat refers, was saved by the present
Board of Commissioners out OF an
mount levied for County Expenses
upon a Democratic estimate of the a
mount needed, the greater the credit
to the present Board Of Commissioners
will appear, tor we certainly should have
never heard OF any cash surplus in that
office, under recent Democratic man
agement. Every cent levied and col
lected would have been spent, as in
duty bound, and every partizan retaiL-
er of the office would have received his
share in some shape or other. But so
offensive to the editor of the Democrat
is the idea of cash surplus, either in
bank or out of it, that the only conclu
sion to be drawn from the above extract
is, that it would have been better upon
the part of the Commissioners to have
squandered this money than to have
saved it. He never considers the fact
that the existence of this surplus of SILL,
6oI. IS, enables the Commissioners to
reduce the levy for roads and bridges
to the unprecedented low figure this
year of $4,000. This isn't the kind OF
finances the editor of the Democrat
learned in the Commissioners office,
and you couldn't get the true meaning
or use of cash surplus into his head
by any means short of surgical oper-
ation.

"This boosted surplus was estimated
tor the roads and the roads needed it,
but did not get it, because the Com
missloners wished to show surplus to
their own credit, and for political effect.
Cecil Democrat.
General you not only mlstate the fact,
but do the present Board Of County
Commissioners gross injustice. The
surplus to which you refer was accumu-
lated as we show elsewhere from eleven
different accounts, and instead of being
intended for political effect, indicates a
sincere desire upon their part to dis
burse the hard earned taxes of our peo-
pie carefully and economically, and you
may rest assured that their character in
this respect is fully understood by the
voters of the county. As to your asser-
ton that the present Board of Commits
sioners is looking to political effect in
the administration of their office, we on
the contrary declare, what Is universally
known and conceded throughout the
county, that political considerations
have influenced them less in all their
business transactions, than in any case
in recent years. Not one of the pres
ent board sought the office, on the con
trary all three OF them to-day are
making sacrifice of their personal bus
mess in its acceptance. They were
taken up by the people of the county
because they were known to be men of
first-class business qualification, and
high personal integrity, and were men in
every respect above political dickering
in the affairs of their office. Their of.
fetal record shows that the people did
not mistake their character, and this is
what is troubling you and your partizan
associates.

and reduce just that much the amount
Of the succeeding levy?
And that is what was done by the |
present board of Commissioners having
this surplus OF SII'60I.25, they were
enabled this year to reduce the levy for
roads and bridges to SIS 900, which by
the way is less by the big difference OF
s2o.595.22, than the actual expendi-
ture of the last Democratic Board in
1887 when they spent on the roads and
bridges s35,595.22.
Another mistatement General, is your
| assertion in the above extract that
scores of roads have gone to the bad
for need of repairs. We challenge you
to the proof of any such a statement.
Considering the unprecedented rain fall
of the year, beginning early in the
spring and continuing throughout the
entire summer and thus far into the au
tumn, we assert that the condition of
the roads throughout the county COM
pares favorably to-day with that during
any recent years past.
| And while on this subject, and in the
face of the statement lst made as to
the present condition OF the roads in the
county, it may be profitable to consider
a moment what roads and bridges have
cost the property-hclders and tax pay
ers of Cecil county for seven years un
der Democratic rule. Beginning with
1887 and including 1887, the enor'
nous amount $292,388.l6 has been
spent on and about them. We say
about them, because no man can be
found credulous enough, after an exam
ination of the bills on file IN the Con-.
m1ssioners office, to believe such a sun
was ever spent on them. They have
cost the tax. payers ali average OF SAL,
s77I.I2 year for the period closing
with the term of office OF the last Dem
ocratic Board.
Contrasted with that expenditure, the
present Board for the year ending June
goth, 1850, has spent only. s22,IS2 50
For S8S the Democrats levied SI4, 900
the expenditure in the same year being
S2S,43344, OF which the Democrat!
{-expended S17,So4. So, and the presen
board the balance SIC, 62S,92, during the
fractional part of that year.
We claim that an inspection of thu
roads throughout the county, followed
by an examination of their cost, will
show, that their maintenance under tht
present Board OF Commissioners il
quite up to the standard of their Dem
ocratic predecessors, at about one hal
the cost to the taxpayers OF the county
