HIS FORMER MAJORITIES.


Review of Mr.. Reeds Past Elections-The
GOyernorship.
PORTLAND, Me-, September S The
election to-day was for governor, ii legis-
lature, four representatives. in Congress
and county officers. Congressman Reed
has been reelected seven times, and his
actual plurality has varied in that time
from 112 votes to . 443. The first year
he ran, III 1876, he won by 1909. Two
years later, when the Greenback craze
was at it's height, the Republican pan ty
was in clear minority i'll the district of
over 600, but two canddatcs-one
Democratic and one Green backer-dlyi
ded the opposition vote, and Mr. Reed
pulled through with eass, Ia 1870,
against Il fusion candidate, he had the
hardest fight Of his congressional career,
winning at last by a bare margin of 172.
In 1882, the state not having been redis
tricted. the congressman, now four in
number. were elected on general ticket,
and Mr.. Reed carried York and Cumber.
land counties by ,2j3 plurality over the
head of the opposition ticket.

There is only one rational explanation

There is only one rational explanation
of the great victory in Maine, aai es
apecially in Mr.. Reeds district. 1t is
that he dared to take a step which
proved him to be a'leader and states,
man, to correct great and growing
evil which was rapidly making the
Congress of the United States a COM
bination of circus and a debating
society, and his constituents approved
him. The triumph in the State at large
is due, aside from State issues, partly to
this and partly to the popular endorse
ment of the Mckinley Tariff bill and
the course of the Republican party.
That is all, and that is enough. 1t was
waste of words to argue further The
people vote on issues, not on trivialities.
The voters of Maine have taken the
Republican side of the issues set before
them in this campaign.

The Reciprocity clause, adopted by
the Senate, relates to sugars, molasses,
coffee, tea and hides, raw and uncured.
These articles are to be admitted free
of duty, but if the President finds that
countries producing and exporting such
articles impose duties upon the agri-
cultural or other products of the United
States, which he may deem to be recip-
rocally unequal and unreasonable, he
shall have the power, and 1t shall be
his duty, to suspend the free impor-
tation for such time as he shall deem
just, and during such suspension duties
shall be imposed on the articles named
according to a schedule provided in
the Tariff act. This makes the impos-
ing of duty the positive act OF the
President as measure of retaliation,
whereas reciprocity has generally follow
ed the principle of imposing duties to
be suspended when certain concessions
have been made.

Now by the above census tables it
appears that we have in Cecil 62 less
people than we had 20 years ago, and
I 2o6 less than we had 10 years ago,
vet we had 2S2 more voters in Cecil at
the presidential election in 1883 than
we had in 1850, and I745 more voters
in 1883 than we had in 1868.
How could've gam I745 presidential
voters and lose 81 in population, as the
comparison for the years 1890 and 1870
shows? There have been no unusual
causes at work in the county, to pro-
duce SO exceptional result and what
is more, the history of the past ten
years in the county, is one OF unusual
and increased industrial activity. Not
only have Mr.. Singerly's mills been 10.
Gated in Elkton within that period, but
his business at the Providence mills has
been increased within the same period.
Mr.. |. D. Carter, at the Walnut Valley
mills, and Mr.. c. S. Garrett, at Marley,
have also enlarged forces within that
time. The population of Elkton has IN
creased 652 in that period and the upper
portion of the district IN which it's located
grown in population by 200, making the
increase in the district over $50 in ten
years, the increased trade along the line
of the Philadelphia extension OF the b.
& O. being a noticeable cause of that
increase. Further increases in Eopula-
ton are noticed in our local columns,
as well as the matter of a petition pre-
sented to our Board of County Com
missioners by Henry NJ. Mccullough,
Esq, on this subject. Cecil county is a
progressive and prosperous county
which fact we believe correct census
will prove, but which is not the show
ing now made at the census depart
ment, and of which it is the duty of our
people at least to attempt correction.

CAPITAL STOCK SUBJECT TO TAXA
TON

An important decision has been rem
| der by the supreme court of the United
States in the case Of the Home Insurance
company VS.. the People of the State of
New York, says Bradstreet's. Under a
law of the state of New York subjecting
certain corporations to tax on their in
corporate franchise Or business, the
amount of the tax varing according to
the dividends declared by the companies,
the insurance company was assessed
81 800 for taxes. 1t resisted payment on
the ground that the tax was in fact
levied upon the capital stock of the COM
pany, and contended that there should
be deducted from the amount levied a
sum propOrtionate to the amount which
the company had invested in United
States bonds. A law requiring a tax
without such reduction, it maintained,
was unconstitutional. as violative of the
provision that bonds or obligations of the
United States shall not be subject to tax
alton by the states. The supreme court
decided against the contention of the
company. 1t is said that the tax is not
one upon the capital stock of the COM
pany, but upon its corporate franchise"
or business, and reference is only made
to its capital stock and dividends for the
purpose of determining the amount of
tax to be exacted annually. The grant
ing of franchise, that is of doing bust
ness, rests entirely in the discretion of
the state, and, of course, may be subject
to such conditions as the legislature may
see fit to impose, including that of re-
quiring it to pay a certain amount on its
annual business or profits. The validity
of the tax can in no way, the court says,
depend upon the mode which the state
may deem fit to adopt in fixing the
for any year which it viii exact
for the franchise. 1t can not be affected
by the character Of the property in which
the capital stock Of the company is in
vested.
