few days ago one of our citizens, having a

it on the highway. The first person that came
along picked it up, and examining it, threw
it back again where he found it, for the next
passer. So the joke ran.

A N OPEN LETTER.

WESTMINSTER, MD., April 10, IS9O.-Mr
Jos. B. Boyle-Dear Sir: For many years
have suffered intensely, on taking cold, from
very troublesome cough, for which | have
used number of various remedies, and oh
tanned but temporary relief. During the past
spring | was again troubled with the same
cough, and through friend was induced 10
try your PectoraI Syrup, which not only gave
almost instant relief, but permanent cure.
1t gives me great pleasure TO say that believe
it to be the best remedy ever used for the
purpose for which it is recommended. Hoping
that any person afflicted as ! was may be
fortunate enough to give it trial, am, truly
yours EDWARD Lynch.

The Poor Pay the Taxes.

From the Cecil Democrat.
Tariff taxes exempt all property from tax
alton for the support of government, and
draws its taxes from the money the people
must spend for the necessaries and comforts
of life This has been clearly shown in the
reduction of the price of sugar by the aboli-
ton of the tariff tax upon it. These taxes
fall lightly upon the rich, but with crushing
weight upon the poor. They take the burden
of the support of government from those best
able to bear it, and place it upon those least
able to bear it. They tend to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer. The poor are
further robbed by them to add to the private
profits of class of manufacturers. They
promote bribery and corruption by making
business profits depend upon political action
in the passage of tariff bills. They cons titute
the most infamous and unjust system of tax
alton that the human mind has conceiv ed of
and must be abolished.

ITO FARMERS AND TRUCKERS
L
Rsg~ USE ZELL's FERTILIZERS. -sssa

The season is now at hand when farmers
are looking for the best Fertilizers. This We
believe they will find in the Zell's Fertilizers.
We have sold these Fertilizers for II years,
and can recommend them rs having no supe
rior. Those farmers who have been using
them for years have no desire to change, and
can attest to their merits. The increased
sale of these fertilizers from year to year is
another evidence of their superiority. We
recommend
ZELLS DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE
For oats and potatoes and all kinds of truck
Price $40 per ton, For corn we recommend
either the Dissolved Bone Phosphate or Zelrs
Economizer These Fertilizers will be kept
for sale during the season at the new machi-
merry building of J. Q. Stitely, Westminster,
Md; at the agents residence, Union Mills,
Nd, and at Fink & Shorb's warehouse,
Littlestown, Pa. Persons desiring these
Fertilizers at Westminster will call on j. Q.
Stitely at his office, who will deliver them in
my absence. Thankful for past patronage,
and hoping for a continuance of the same,
am, yours truly, JOHN BURGOON,

For the Democratic Advocate.

An advertisement in the Baltimore sun, or what
is published in that paper in the form of ain adyer-
tisement, advances the idea that Maryland wants a
Governor who can go to Chicago next year. and
make speech That is all bosh. Maryland doesn't
want her Governor to go to Chicago at all, much
less to go there and make speeches. The Chicago
exhibition is not national one, il is mere side
show for the benefit of Chicago. Let her enjoy it, in
her seclusion, as best she may. Maryland has no
money to spend for such purpose; and, if she had,
where is the authority in her constitution to it
in that way? The taxpayers will protest against
squandering their money in such a useless underta
king, which cannot advance the interests of Mary
land in any degree.
