Taking in the People.

Charles A. Hollis is the name Of a
slick artist from St. Louis, whose vic
Tins in Birmingham have just found
out that he is a scoundrel. He came
representing himself as agent of the
St. Louis Library Association, which
sold books to members at discount
of 80 per cent. In order to become a
member, the victim was required to
subscribe for some publication of
which Hollis was agent, such as Har-
per's, Puck, etc., and pay cash. These
subscriptions were also at a large dis
count. A great many people took the
bait. Nothing has been heard of
Hollie nor his publications, and all
letters addressed to the St. Louis Lii
brary Association come back stamped
s'fraudulent." Hollie worked Bir-
mingham for several hundred dollars.

Democratic papers are constantly
reminding them that wool is. several
cents cheaper than it was last year?
Do they also abserve that these pa
pers charge this decline in price to
the Mckinley bill? Isn't this very
absurd? Don't the same papers
insist that the tariff increases the
prices of dutiable articles? How
can it increase the cost of all other
articles and decrease the price of
wool?
We ask these questions merely to
show the absurdity of the Demo-
cratic position on the wool interest.
But the facts are these There
has been a general decline in the
price of wool all over the world. In
Australia the decline is 20 per cent !;
in the United States only 6 per cent.
If there were no tariff on wool the
American farmer would be brought
into direct competition with the
Australian wool-grower, and he
would be compelled to suffer de-
cline of 20 per cent instead of only
per cent. The tariff is, therefore,
the American wool-growers' saliva
ton.
Again, the wool of this country
that is now selling for Is cents is
worth 16 cents in the London mar
ket. The difference between the
value of protected wool and free
wool is shown by these quotations,
which are taken from a trade report.
Here, also, the tariff comes to the
farmers relief.
Read this illustration from the
Canada market, given by a member
of a large wool commission firm in
Philadelphia: A Democratic far
mer in Pennsylvania bought some
Shropshire lambs in Canada. The
lambs brought to Pennsylvania were
shOrn unwashed and the wool sold
in Philadelphia this season at 80
cents. Lambs Of the same flock
and breed, Of the same age, left in
Canada, were shorn washed, and
the wool sold this season in Canada
at IS cents.
Which do our farmers prefer, the
Mckinley protected market, or the
free trade market?

The Political Situation.

The political situation in Garrett
county at the present time is one of
great Importance to the people of
the county. 1t is one which affords
a fruitful theme for deliberate, care
full and thoughtful consideration.
Beside the different candidates NOM
mated for State offices. the Repub-
lican party and citizens will be
called upon to select and vote for
the following: States attorney,
sheriff, two candidates for the House
Of Delegates, three candidates for
county commissioners, three candi-
dates for judges of the orphans
court, and county surveyor. A can
didate for associate judge Of the
4th judicial district of the State
will be also voted for. This will
make an aggregate of sixteen per-
sons for whom the people of Gar
rett county will be called upon to
vote.
In this connection it is well to re-
mind the Republican voters of Gar
rctt county, that upon their wisdom
in the primaries on Saturday, Octo-
Der 3, much depends. On the pru-
dent and discreet selection of men
to the county convention to be held
on the Tuesday following, hinges
the general welfare of the whole
people.
With a ticket selected and COM
posed of the best men in the ranks
of the Republican party and which
shall commend itself to the hearty,
energetic and enthusiastic support
of the voters Of Garrett, there need
be no fear Of an unfavorable result.
Remember. it will be utterly i'm
possible, with so many candidates
to select, that the views and desires
Of every person can be fully met.
Let it be borne in mind, however,
that "a public Office is a public
trust" and that the power delega-
ted to the representatives of the
different districts in the convention
is the voice of the people, with a
loyalty to the party that shall know
no swerving.
Resolve that the ticket selected at
the convention shall meet with your
approval, and that the best interests
of the community and the success
of the Republican party shall pre-
vail, and that its preponderating
and elevating influences toward good
government shall leaven, enlighten
and educate the people to knowl-
edge of their duty to themselves
and to their fellowmen.
