severely at the elbow.
Quite an excitem ent was caused in the

The Soldiers Appeal.

The survivors of Companies A and |,
Fifth R4gt., Nd. Vet. Vol. Init, desire
to erect monument on the battle field
of Autietam in honor of and sacred to the
memory of their comrades who fell there
in defence of their state and nation in
that memorable battle, Sept. 18th, 1862.
Twenty seven years or more have elapsed
since our noble men fell there in defence
of a great cause aud on their own soil.
There is nothing to mark the spot on
which they fell or where they lay. There
fore, we the survivors call upon the citi-
zens of Cecil county to aid us in our
duty. Let every church, Sabbath school,
society or lodge contribute toward this
worthy cause or tribute of respect in
memory of our noble dead. These noble
men sacrificed bone, church, school,
society and lodges all for the cause in
which they fell. There is none that knew
the worth of these comrades or have felt
their loss so keenly as Elkton, North
East, Chesapeake City. Cecilton, Bohe.
mia Manor, Charlestown, Port Deposit
and Baltimore city. There were no SOL
diers more brave and true than those
from Cecil county in the Federal army.
We feel assured that you await the OPP
portunity to contribute as your own high
sense of patriotism may dictate. A book
will be prepared to enter names of all
,,NI 1r1,
matter of record. The names must be
sent to the secretary and the contribution
to the treasurer, who will send them a
receipt tor the same. That will be the
contributors voucher that the money has
been received by him. The following
comrades have been appointed to collect
funds for this association for Elkton,
Chesapeake City and iCecilton: Colonel
Isaac d. Davis, Second National Bank;
and John T. Bennett For North East,
Charlestown and Port Deposit, Jesse
John w. Worth, post-office, and Pltrick
Reedy. For Washington, ID. c., Capt.
Samuel Foard, 314 22d St., s. E. We
hope all of Cecil county will encourage
us IN our patriotic eff rt by speaking
kindly of it and giving cheerfully to it.

very DESTROYS of securing the co.opena-
ton of all ladies whe prefer a non par
tisan to Prohibition thirdparty move
ment. They claim that their organiza-
ton goes back to the first principles of
the w. G. T. Ito work for temperance

that they have large and growing
union IN Washington. While they are
entiely distinct from the old organiza-
ton, of which Miss Francis Willard is
president they say that they wish that

VINO VIII doubt the expediency of revision.
Du' whenever the tariff is revised business
uiuS' De disturbed necessarily. The tariff
cannot be revised without disturbing bust
ness any more than house can be repaired
without discommoding the family. No tariff
e'er was revised without disturbing business
tor a time. So it is manifestly short-sighted
for those who believe that the dangerous
surplus should be removed and American in
dustries protected to complain of the disturb
ing effects of tariff revision. 1t is one of the
most forcible arguments of the free traders
that protection is bad for business because
as no tariff can be permanent, the frequent
revislons necessary exercise an unsettling
effect upon business; whereas, free trade
being constant state no changes are eces-
fairy. But this argument is plainly applica-
BILE only to condition Of things where free
trade is universal. For just so long as one
commercial nation has protection, its tariff
changes will disturb business in the others
as well as within itself. For instance, Eng
land is a free trade country and according to
the argument ought to be free from the par
ticular business disturbances which our own
people are complaining of. But the truth is
that our tariff has caused even more business
disturbance in England than here, if we
may judge from the bitter remarks of the
English press. So it is hardly fair to lay the
business disturbance" to the trainers of the
tariff BILL Some such disturbance is newt
able and the present revision probably
causes as little any revision ever did.
