Statistics Of Southern Loss and Growth

The Manufacturers Record of Monday,in
showingthe phenomenal increase of wealth
in the South since 1880, incidentally por-
trays the vast loss Inflicted on that section
by the event of the civil war. In 1850
the assessed value Of property in the whole
United ates Was $4,000, 100000, Of
which the South had $4,000 900, 900, or
A per cent. The South was at that time
the rich AMI prosperous section. Miss
issippi, for example, had 100000. 900
more of property than Connecticut, and
was fourth in that list OF States in per
capita valuation. The census Of 1870 in
dicated vast dss ruct:on of propert ty in
the vanquished section. 1t had but 3d.
O64 100000 Of assessed v,luition, as a.
gaiust So, 300,000,0 900 ten years before, the
loss being $3lOO,OOO,OOO The Record
estimates the real loss at fully $4,000, 600, :
900. As the Record puts the va ua'ion
for 1889 at 1920, 166, 400, it would appear
that the South is sill poorer than she WI as
in 1860. II persent rate Of Increase is,
however, very rapid, the gain since 1880
being 1906, 729,9a7 The trades nan, OF
Chattanooga, going upon data obtained
from Governors and comptrol'ers general
places the present popu'a'ion of the S ,uth
at 19,4S9, $50, the gain since 1880 being al
the rate OF per cent per snnum.

The Tariff at the West.

The Western republicans are begin
ming to get better idea of the tariff,
and it is one of the reasons why a
strong opposition has been developed
against sending Senator Allison back
to the Senate, although, it is said, he
will probably win his reelection by 8
few votes. But the feeling is spread
ing at the West that reduction Of
customs duties is imperative. Bur-
lington. Iowa, is taking the first prac.
teal step in this direction. A petit
ton has been put in circulation there.
and generally signed by republicans,
asking Congressman Gear to use his
influence sin faver of taking the tar
if duties from the necessaries of life
and raw materials used in manufac-
turing, rather than the removal of the
internal revenue from tobacco and
whisky" or, as is proposed, from al
cohol used in the arts, which, it ia as
serted, "would lead to extensive frauds
in the whisky revenue" The Burling-
ton Haukeye. which has great inGu-
ence at the West, strongly supports
the movement. The Free Methodist
of Chicago is still more outspoken.-
Thoroughly republican, and with no
immediate intention OF abandoning its
party, it declares that "if the Presi-
dent and republican party think that
by making tobacco and whisky cheap
they can reconcile our intelligent,
conscientious people to continue to
pay high price for sugar and woolen
goods, and shoes, and hats, and print
ing paper, and type, and other neces-
sary articles, they are greatly mis-
TAKEN" With the Western republi-
cans threatening to break loose from
the party on the subject of the tariff,
and with the New England repu bli-
cans clamoring for coal and scrap iron
duty free and for sharp reduction in
the duty on pig-iron, it is difficult to
see how the Allisen tariff bill, or even
a modification of it, can pass both
houses without giving great offence to
the West and to New England on the
one hand, or, by acquiescence in their
demands, maintain the support of the
manufacturers, by whose lavish sub
scriptions of money the last president
ial election was carried.-Balt0. Sun.

According to common rumor there
will be multiplicity of senatorial
candidates. In the list are Gov. jack
son, James Alfred Pearce of Kent, John
B. Brown of Queen Anne's, Edward
Lloyd Of Talbot, and Henry Page of
Somerset. The list of availables speaks
we'll for the Easton Shore. Senator
Wilson, however, should be his own
successor. The Democratic party needs
experienced men in the United States
Senate. Senator Wilson is fully equip
ped upon all the leading measures that
will, be before the Senate, and his
knowledge, ability and experience will
count we'll against federal election and
educational bills and like measures.
Upon the tariff he has been tried, and
he is an able exponent of the Cleveland
doctrine that unnecessary taxation is
unjust taxation" Let Senator Will
son succeed himself. = Westminster

We believe, too, that Senator Will.
son ought to, and will succeed himself
but since the Senatorial appointment
belongs to the Eastern Shore, it il
probable that the ashore" will have

s'Reform League" Reform,

1t has been subject of some remark
on the part of observing Democrats
for years past, that the so called ere
form League" of Baltimore is always
careful that none of it's alleged reforms
shall impinge in any way upon the
ignorant colored republican vote.
While avowedly on the alert as to the
publication of the registration lists,
this great league has always directed
It's energies at the white Democrats,
and always closed its eyes In the most
innocent way to the colonization of
black republican voters. In fact it
has been perceptible, to the careful
observer, that the "league" seems to
have quite tender regard for the
rights of the colored republican voter,
and, between the two alternatives,
would apparently much prefer that he
should have too many rights than too
few.
This spirit on the part Of these
pseudo reformers has been recently
manifested in rather an amusing
fashion, in their efforts to frame an
other election reform law. They
started out with great vigor as earnest
advocates of the Australian ballot
system, and had committed themselves
unequivocally to that theory before
it dawned upon them that they would
thereby play havoc with the illiterate
colored vote, in Southern Maryland
and elsewhere. It would not have
mattered that few illiterate white
d emocrats should have been disfraDch
ised by the system; but when it ap-
peared that the colored voter was in
danger, the "Reform League" began
to craWfish at once. So they have now
determined to ask that the names on
the official ballet, instead of being
printed in alphabetical order as usual,
are to have the partisan tickets printed
separately on the same slip with a
distinguishing mark at the top, such
as o square or triangle or Mr.. Lin
coins head, which the colored voter can
check at one stroke, as an indication
of the intention to 'yote de straight
inpublican ticket.
When it is remembered that the
"Reform League" is composed for the
most part of partisan republicans, and
that this influence shapes the entire
action of the "league," this spirit Of
partisan partiality in their action can
hardly be wondered at. But it is the
fact that the concern is presided over
by the venerable Mr.. S. Teackle Wal
lis, and numbers among its member
ship q good many other aristecratic
old gentlemen of the old school, which
causes conservative Democrats to
wonder at the action Of the League.
But since these venerable old gentle
men have at last thrown off their mask
and have this fall voted the straight
republican ticket themselves, there
will now no longer be any room for
establishment.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser., 1889-12-27

The movement insugurated in the
q. S. Senate by Senator Morgan fol
the recognition of the new republican
government in Brazil, seems to be q
little bit premature. The new govern.
ment down there, like some Of our in.
FAINT manufacturing industries, has no,
gotten fairly on its feet. Marshall de
Fonseca, the chief Of the provisional
government, is said to be at the point
of death, and the changes of ministry
which mast follow his demise will
lead, it is feared, to serious complica-
tiops Dom Pedro has maintained q
dignified silence as to his future plans,
and has declined to accept bounty
voted him by the provisional govern
ment or to enter into any other nego-
tiations with it. Altogether the pros
poets of popular government in Pedlo'a
late dominion are not as clear as they
might be, and the Emperor may again,
in the not distant future, assume the
government Of his people, for all that
is now known.

The race problem and the future Of
the negro will be one of the most fruit
fnl topics of discussion at this session
Of Congress. The question will come up
not only in connection with the Blair
educational bill and the deportation

tion bills to be brought forward for
consideration. The whole subject is
now one of the main topics in politi-
cal circles. There has been wide COM
ment upon the dynamite talk" of

more importance has been given to

disposition to take any public notice

them.
