one, and as man and citizen he worked
his way from the bottom to the topmost
round. He appealed to the young men
to try and let their steps be progressive

We again call the attention of the Col.
ored Republican voters of this city and
county to the claim of our nominee fol
sheriff. Mr.. H. Eye, Republican nomi-
nee for sheriff., was born at Pine Grove
Furnace, Pennsylvania. March 20, 1874,
where he resided until he reached his
18th year when he went to Whiteside
county, ILL.,, and in his 18th year, Unlisted
in Company F., Ninety-third infantry,
and served until the close of the war,
after which he returned to Illinois, and
in 1867 was married and moved to Mimi
eapolis, where he has since resided. He
served as \ deputy sheriff five and one
half wears, under three administrations
was elected sheriff in 1883 and placed in
nomination by reclamation at the last
county convention, thus showing the
unbounded confidence of his party in
him. He has been one of the best off,
GERS the county has ever had. Mr.. Eye
is staunch friend Of the Colored PEG.
pie and has always helped them when
ever it was in his power to do so. His
deputies are men who have been an
honor to:the country. He ought to re-
ceive evefy Golofed and white Republic

veteran, true and tried, we should stand
by him He has the universal conf
dence of the lawyers and courts of the
country without respect to party lines.
The APPEAL will give him its most hearty
support. Mr.. Eye has ever been true
and tried Republican, believing in its
principals and bearing its burdens, and
to the Colored people of the county and
city he has been the most sincere and
unfailing friend and We will stand by
him until the sun goes down on cleo
ton day. No man is q better friend to
the black man. He is not afraid to take
any poor man by the hand BLACK or

wool that commodity declined ten
per cent on the London market.
Why was this? Simply a scheme on
the part of the foreign dealer to meet
and undersell the American produ-
GERS and the price has only recovered
through the DELAY of the Senate in
passing the bill. The Democrat for.
got-probablv never knew-that the
tariff on wool was fixed bv joint
convention of wool growers and
wooden manufacturers. In other
words, that the farmer himself fixed
the price he receives for his wool. If
the Mckinley wool schedule is SO
nimical to the interests of the farmer,
why is it that the wool growers, who
are all farmers. have so recently
passed resolutions demanding that
the Senate Finance Committee make
no change in the protection afforded
them bv the bill as it came from the
House?
The argument (?) of our neighbor
reminds us of story Henry Clay
used to tell of Free Trade orator
haranguing from the stump to a
crowd of Kentuckians "DO YOU
know, sir" said the speaker to an
attentive hearer, "that that coat on
your back cost YOU half-a-dollar a
yard more than it need because OF
this accursed tariff ?" "Wal, stran-
GER" was the reply, drawled out
slowly, 81 reckon it must be 80 since
YOU say it, but this coat cost me- by
the yard just three bits"
In the good old davs "befo' de
wah."a repetition of which the Demo-
crdt would no doubt, like to see, the
farmer, who is now ground down
by the tariff, who has to paw so
much more for what he consumes bv
reason thereof received prices for his
products something like these !:
Wheat, so cents per bushel corn
could not sell eggs, cents per dozen;
butter. 8 cents per pound, and paid
for cloth 81 per ward calico 124 and
Is cents per yard muslin, 122 and
Is cents per ward salt So per sack.
Now, with the tariff-what horrible
shapes that word conjures up before
the eyes of the DemOcrdt-the down.
trOdden farmer receives for his
wheat 80 cents and 81 per bushel
60 cents for corn; 129 cents for eggs
Is cents for butter, and paws for calico
form 4 to 7 cents per ward muslin,
7 to 10 cents, and buys the same
grade of cloth for 81. and paws 81
per sack for salt.
AS to the tariff on lumber, we call
the attention of the Democrat to
another one of our "expedients" !. e,
a communication from Well-in-
formed gentleman.
Lack of space prevents a more eX-
tended notice of the comments of
the Democrat this week but in our
next issue we shall take up the
maple sugar and coal question.

EVERY friend of American indus
try should read carefully the follow
ing facts gathered by the PhiIadel-
phia Press. This bargain with the
chief Free Trade organization of this
country is most significant. The
Golden Club of England can rest
awhile now that the Democratic party
are backing the Golden Club of
America.
The Iowa politicians have raised
$4,000 in this city New York;. At
least they have received the promise
of that sum in case they will permit
the Reform" Club, of this city. to
run the educational end of their can
vass. The experience of these Iowa
reformers in this city is a revelation
of the manner in which the fall cam
paign is to be carried on in many
parts of the country.
Last winter some of the Iowa
Democrats got together in Des
Moines, 1 think during the session
of the Legislature. to devise a plan
for the Congressional campaign.
There were not many wealthy men
among them. They proposed to put
in the zeal and come to New York for
the money. They, however. col.
lected little over $4,000 in Iowa,
and, having got so much money to-
gether, the committee undertook an
other work.
The whole of this money was de.
voted to making canvass of every
voter in the Stale. This canvass was
to be as complete as business direc-
tory. Each voters occupation and
his presumed politics were to be set
down. and it was hoped that the
name of every voter in the State
would appear 10 the list. When the
work was done it was found that al
most every dollar which had been
raised had been spent in securing this
canyasser's list. 1t was then decided
to send representative of the COM
mittee to New York. He was to
bring with him this list, and vas to
show it to Democratic politicians
who had wealth, and to explain to
them what the purpose of the Iowa
Democrats was in connection with it.
This man reached this city few days
ago.
He had brought letters of intro
duclion from the Democratic GOV.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

(From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Aug. 18th, $780,
The Democrats have discovered a
new cause for abusing Mr.. Blaine.
This time it is becauss the State de-
partment refuses to make public the
contents of the dispatches received
from the U. S. Minister to Guata-
mala relating to the war between
that country and Salvador. 1t is
known that Mr., Blame is doing his
best to bring about satisfactory
peace between the beligerents, and
the indications are that he will be
successful. Of course il Is nonsense
to expect that any Secretary of State
would be willing to have such dis
patches published while the negota.
tious were still in progress but that
does not prevent the Democrats kick
ing.
Things are beginning to look like
business in the Senate. The Fedora
Election bill, as modified by the
Committee on Elections, has heen re-
ported and placed on the calendar
and Senator HOar has offered the

Only few years ago when a farmer
wanted to cultivate certain piece of
ground the first thing he did was to
take his axe and "deaden" the tim

sufficiently dry to burn well he cut
them down, chopped them into logs,
and rolled them into heaps and
burned them. This was laborOus
and an expensive operation. The
more timber a man had who wanted
TO utilize his land. the worse he was
off. Timber was an obstruction a

THE promised answer to our
"pueriIe" and lilly informed'' little
editorial on those schedules of the
Mckinley bill which practically af.
feet the interests of Garrett County
appeared in the columns of the Demo-
crdt last week.
Fourteen days of hard labor were
spent in the composition. The census
tables were searched, mathematics
were employed upon which to pred
icate its argument. the accumulated
knowledge of past years was called
into play in its structure, unlimited
space was given to its well rounded
and sonorous sentences. In short,
the object was to edo" THE REPUB.
LICvN in the first round, but thanks
to vigorous constitution. we are
still here subscribing the best interests
of the people with our love for the
Mckinley bill, as applied to the well
fare of our County mistaken, uDal-
tered, firm as ever.
To say that the Democrat has
developed into full-tledged Free
Trade organ Judging from its effort
of last week-would be putting it
mildly. In its attempt to get rid of
the EFFECT Of our exposition of the
pending bill, it presumes upon the
ignorance of its readers and makes
use of argumentst?l which would in.
sure its editor a joyous welcome into
the councils of London Golden Club
without being asked any question or
producing any credentials.
In 1884 the country was stirred
from centre to circumference by the
Morrison tariff bill which proposed
horizontal reduction of twenty per
cent. The agitation of this question
which affected every business interest
of the country, unsettled prices and
caused decline in value of every
farm product. The wool industry
was the first to feel the blighting eff
fects of the proposed measure. The
price of wool went down. The far
iner could not realize ANYTHING like a
fair price for his clip. The day il
became known that the Morrison bill
would be defeated in the House of
Representatives a telegram was re-
ceived bv prominent merchant of
Oakland instructing him TO offer the
farmer an advance of two cents per
pound for his wool. The day the
Mckinley bill was reported from the
committee with its protection on
