How 1t Worked for the Farmer.
From the Baltimore sun.

From the Baltimore sun.
As the new tariff law went into force Octo-
Der /, 1890, the effect of it upon our import
and export trade is exhibited in the statistics
of the nine months ended June 80, 1891.
The average rate of duty on dutiable articles
was increased by that law from about AZ per
cent. to about GO per cent. 1t is found ac-
cordingy that in the period named our dutia-
Bile imports decreased from 1899, 7SG,032 to
1854, 242, $40 The new tariff, it is seen, has
kept some articles from coming to us at all.
and has diminished the importation of others.
That means that fewer ships have sought our
ports for grain and the expectation Of bread
stufTs has declined. Our farmers sent out but
Sl27, 66S, 092 worth of breadstutfs i'll the nine
months of the Mckinley tariff, as against
Sl54, 925,027 in the like period under the
preceding tariff. The expectation of cattle,
sheep and hogs fell off also, but to a much
less extent, while provisions little more than
held their own as an item of the export trade.
Mr.. Blaine's prediction is verifed-the Nc
Kinley act has ''not made new market for
Il single barrel of flour or pork" The West
ern farmer is not proiited in the least The
Southern otton-planter, however, by accept
ing very low prices, has exported 40,00O,000
pounds more of raw cotton than last year.

The Philadelphia Ress, the leading Re-

loaded editorial, warns the friends of Blaine
that Senators Quay and Cameron are not sin,

gain control of the delegation to the national
convention to use it against the denomination
of Mr.. Harrison.

For the Democratic Advocate.

Last weeks DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE contained
list of names emnently qualified and deserving of
place upon the Democratic ticke. for next election
none of whom is more entitled to the consideration
OF the voters of Carroll than Edward Lynch. This
deservedly popular gentleman has made an enviable
record in our midst by life of industry and useful
ness from his youth up. and venture the assertion
that the county records cannot produce his equal in
the matter of adding to property value, and as the
value ofproperty is the basis of tax levy it is
easily seen that his exertions in this respect have
been direct benefit to each individual tax payer
in the county. He has also been found among the
leaders in every enterprise gotten up in this town
and county during the last thirty years, not only
with his time but also with his money. If AIr
Lynch will consent the convention soon TO assemble,
could make no wiser and more popular move than TO
nominate him for clerk of the court.
