The SUMS" Motive.

The Baltimore SIM is very enthusiastic in
regard to the Democratic campaign in New
York, and hopes for Democratic triumph
in November. Why is it so interested in
Democratic success there? 1t can only be
on account Of the effect upon the country for
1892 A victory now will be the capturing of
5Ger,itfe str50ry nj ffyew OK
in a state campaigR-s desirable for the effect
it will have on the country for the Presidential
campaign, why would it not be desirable in
Maryland? Are the candidates better and
methods purer in New York than in Maryland?
The SIN will not dare say so. What, then, is
the cause ofthis difference in the treatment of
the two campaigns by the San. Is it not, by
encouraging discomfort and dsaffection and
aiding independent movement, the hope that
awarm campaign may be inaugurated and both
sides will use its advertising columns? Is it
not the almighty dollar the SIN is after. The
Sun places money above principle in home
affairs, but is a great exponent of Democratic
principles aud great advocate of Democratic
success elsewhere. because there is no oppor-
tunity to make money by going the other way.

Prepare to Rejoice.

New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are
going Democratic in November-at least
Democrats of these states so predict and the
Republicans don't claim they will be success
full Is there a Democrat in Carroll who will
not rejoice over these viciories-the three
largest and most powerful states in the Union
joining the Democratic column to prepare for
1892 Can Democrat who remains away
from the polls, except in case of sickness, or
cuts single man on his ticket, rejoice over
Democratic success in other states when he
himself does not do his duty? Maryland
electoral votes are essential TO Democratic
success in Presidential contest. Besides,
two United States Senators are to be chosen,
and we ought to elect Democrats. The VIC
tory of 1892 will not be complete without a
Democratic Senate and House to aid Demo-
cratic President in reforming the government
lin reducing taxation and enforcing the doc
trine that public office is a public trust, not
a private snap

The Legislative Ticket.

The Democratic party never presented a
stronger ticket for House of Delegates than
the present one. Col. Berret ranks with the
best men in Maryland; Messrs. Sellman and
Leeds are experienced legislators, who have
served their county well and faithfully before,
and Mr.. Haines is an intelligent and progress
sive farmer who will reflect credit upon rs
county.
Further, they tcM cOte for Democrats for
United States Senators, and these Democratic
United States Senators will vote to relieve
you of the odious and impressive taxation
imposed by the Mckinley bill, and against
the worse than odious Lodge election bill,
designed to put Federal soldiers at the polls
to overawe the people, that the Republican
party of Harrison, Reed, Mckinley and Lodge
may keep in power and monopolies and trusts
may continue to live in luxury off the money
squeezed from the farmers and other con
sumars

Then and Now.

The last year of Republican rule in Carroll
the tax-rate IN Carroll was 40 cents on the
$780, Not one cent was levied then for the
support of public schools, and most of the
school houses were miserable structures, I'M
safe and unfit for use. The county since then
has nearly doubled in population. There are
many miles more Of roads to keep up, more
bridges to keep in repair, and court expenses
are far greater. Besides, S26, 900 are now de-
voted to public education. Yet, the tax rate
is but so on the 500. Deducting the 10
cents levied for schools, it is seen that the
County Commissioners are now conducting
county affairs on a tax-rate of "a cents on the
500, or cents less than the Republicans
levied, Notwithstanding the far greater ex-
penses now for courts, roads and bridges.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1891-10-17

Nearly every Republican state convention
held this year has endorsed the Mckinley bill
and the Force bill. They are live issues and
the campaign in nearly every state is being
fought on these questions. Everywhere i is
realized that the contest this year is prelimi-
nary to the Presidential battle next Each
party is striving 10 gain vantage ground.
Each realizes that victory now, means a long
stride to success next year. Stand together,
Democrats, and let not the Maryland Democ.
racy be behind in the Democratic procession
that is marching to victory in 1892. Let US
roilup such a majority in 1891 that will carry
dismay to the advocates of high taxation and
bayopet rnle-

The Farmers Poverty.

In his speech at Woodstock, Senator Cor
man said
Why in 1878 IL one of you good farmers owed S. 900
on your farm you could have taken sec bushels OF
wheat and sold Il and paid off your mortgage. II
last year you had owed So 600 you would have had
to have sold 23 bushels of wheat to have paid III
price ofwheat. A protective tariff was an immense
benefit TO you, wasn't it One thousand four hun.
dred and fify-seyen bushels more in 30 to pay the
same debt than it would in 70. There has been some
improvement in the price during the present year
because of the scarcity OF the crops-almost a
falure-on the other side of the water But still so
long you compelled 10 pay tribute on all you
use at the rate at which the Mckinley bill has fixed
it and at the same time forced to compete with
Canada, India, Russia, so long VIII you be in

No Trading.

There is no necessity for any Democrat to
trade votes with Republicans. Get out the
Democratic vote and victory will be assured.
To secure the clerkship Republicans will vote
for a half dozen Democrats to get one
vote for their candidate for clerk. They
want to trade votes to elect at least two of
their commissioner nominees, in order to
secure the county printing for the amateur
journal run for the benefit of the bosses

w. }. Vannort, the Republican candidate
for Governor, is announced to speak at fancy.
town next Saturday. To know how to pillow
well he thinks is sufficient qualification to
be Governor. There are many colored men
in Carroll who can beat him blowing, yet the
Republicans never put any of them up for
any offices, don't even let them be delegates
to county convention, nor even think they
are fit to be on the county subcommittee
The only use Republican has for colored
man is to vote him.

The ADVOCATE erred last week in speaking
of Frederick county as being under Republi-
can control. 1t generally has been, but a
majority of the County Commissioners now are
Democrats. When they took charge of
county affairs they found the tax rate 20 cents
on the 500. but by economy and the appica-
ton of business principles to the conduct of
affairs, they have reduced the tax rate to 62
cents

Two of the three Democratic nominees for
County Commissioners are experienced in the
management Of county affairs. None of the
Republican nominees are, and taxpayer
remarked a few days ago that it was as rea-
sonable to expect efficient management of
county business from an entirely inexperienced
Board of Commissioners as there was to ex-
pect quiet, sober work from three unbroken
colts hitehed up together.

Hon. Frank Brown.

Carroll has belonged to the sisterhood of
counties for iifty-four years. Never in its
history has Governor been selected from
her many distinguished citizens. Now that
the county has been honored by the nomina-
ton of one of her young and progressive
farmers for the exalted position, he citizens
of Carroll should show their appreciation by
giving him Il rousing majority. County pride
in the matter should serve to give Hon. Frank
Brown the largest majority ever given to a
gubernatorial candidate.

Mr.. B. f. Grouse, Democratic nominee for
Clerk of the Circuit Court, is self made
man. Endowed with good mind, he has
cultivated it, and by energy and industry he
has risen to his present prominence. He was
not left a fortune, but, to use common ex-
preston, has ''hoed his own row. The
Court here never had better Clerk, and he
has the further advantage of experience.

The appearance of Cleveland and Hill as
speakers at the great Democratic mass meet
ing in New York, on Thursday night of last
week, carried encouragement to the Demo
cratic party not only in New York, but
throughout the country. 1t was an evidence
that these leaders are more interested in party
success and the triumph of Democratic prin,
ciples than in their own ambitions. The ae.
tive participation of these distinguished lead.
ers in the campaign also carries dismay to
the Republicans. 1t means a Democratic
victory in New York, and it gives encourage
ment to the party elsewhere, while it carries
encouragement to the Republicans.
