seAnd, now, as to the debt Of graft.
Ftnde ! owe, you can rest assured that
the work of the Press during the sum.
mer of 1889, in behalf of the Maryland
State Exposition will never be forgot
ten by myself as its President, nor by
any of those interested in its success,
which was 90 largely due to the unan-
imous support Of you gentlemen
through the columns of your papsrs.
And I have made this opportunity to
return the most hearty thanks of the
Maryland State Agricultural Associ-
alton in general. and myself as its
President in particular.
Before closing, have one more ap.
peal to make to you, in my official
capacity as President of thr Maryland
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Association, and that ia that you
pledge yourselve, one with the other,
to give enthusiastic support to the eff
forts that will be made by the citi.
zens of Maryland to present her re.
sources, products, manufactures and
natural advantages, at the World 8
Fair. in Chicago. in 1898.
We are citizens of a great State.
Although small of area, there is not
one embraced within the bounds Of
this great country that can better af-
ford to exhibit herself with all that
God has blessed her; one whose credit
is unimpeached, whose record in peace
or at war is the peer of any country
of its size under Gods sun; one who
can boast of a happy. prosperous and
conservative people; one who can boas'
of it's safe and sound financial institu
tions; one who cs.n boast of the most
beautiful and attractive women known
to man, and, last, but by no means
least, one who boasts of Press o
which any State in, the Union might
be proud.
And, with a rising vote, move
that the Press of Maryland commit
itself today in behalf of the old com.
monwealth at the Worlds Fair, il

and, now, a toast to you all, wish
ing you progress and prosperity,
hope you will consider me yours te

together for a common purpose, and
let that purpose be to advocate, build
up and foster the enterprises of the
State at large.
Within the past few years Mary

all nations ships are sailing under the
white wings of Maryland Cotton Duck.

must learn of the peril. Or. when the
bright sunbeams of peace and plenty
smile upon the land, we gain that

ADVICE TO THE SAGE.

DoNNELLY and his attorney are still
fierce i'll their expressions OF diSsatisfac-
ton with the verdict in the libel suit,
and denounce the jury as knaves and
blockheads. 1t is hard to satisfy some
people. Has not one of the jurors pub
licly stated that he and his colleagues
agreed that DoNNELLY's reputation
was as good as WILLIAM KINGS? What
more can the Sage want? WILLIAM
KING used to be congressman from
this StSte, and once upon a time he So
Journed i'll Canada for a brief season,
not for his own good, but that he might
shield his innocent friends, of whom
the cruel world was speaking unkindly.
Most men would count it honor enough
to be claSsed on the same moral plane
with a citizen of this description. IG-
NATIUs DoNNELLY should not be SO
ambitious. This is one of his great
faults. He wants to be first, not only i'll
power. influence and noble works, but
also in public esteem and reputation
for character and honesty. He aims
too high. He may distance all his com
petitors in other respects, but in virtue
let him be content with the position
side by side with WILLIAM KING which
twelve of his peers have awarded him.
If he will not do this, the GLOBE sees
but one way left in which he can secure
a vindication. Let him resign his mem
bership in the state senate, and, return
ing to Dakota county offer himself anew
as a candidate for the SURFACES OF his
friends and neighbors. This is what
Tom" PLATT did under somewhat
similar circumstances. He would I'M
doubtedly be triumphantly reelected.
Everybody would turn out to help, for
what would a Minnesota Legislature be
without him? To no bette: purpose
could he consecrate the money which
he las won from the Pioneer Press.
The thought that he had forced his ira
ditional enemy to contribute in this
way to the regeneration of society
would be balm to his wounded feelings.
The devotion of his farmer constituents
TO their chieftain in this hour Of his
greatest humiliation would be sweeter
than soothing music. The GLOBE with
draws the suggestions it made yesterday
to the Sage. Let him forget his sorrows
and the unappreciative Minneapolis
people in the distractions and excite
meHt of political campaign.

THE PENSION REPORT.

The pension commissioner Mr.. RAUM,
has taken time from his private enter
prises to prepare the annual report of
his department. This shows that. with
out his frequent presence in Washing
ton, tie record of pension allowances
has not fallen behind. At the end of
the fiscal year, June 80. there were 1885,
PIG more names on the roll than the
year previous. The total at that date
was G16, 160, but as there are more than
that number OF claims lot yet acted
upon, it will be several wears
before the maximum is reached.
What that will be can hardly
be approXimated from present data. but
will be we'll toward million pension
ers, if not exceeding that number. The
expenditure for the past year is given
as Sl1S.54S, 959.71. While the aggregate
is growing so rapidly, the average value
of the pension has also been increasing.
1t is now stated at S13999. This would
be gratifying fact if the list were re-
duced to honest proportions. The re-
moyai CT those not entitled to pensions
would make it possible to do more
for those who are deserving and
needy. The gratitude of the ma
len can hardly be too generously

WHERE HE CONES IN

There were farmers in North Dakota,
as well As the New England and other
states convenient to Canada. who
thought the tariff makers were really
doing good thing for them in putting
high duties upon agricultural products.
They were not the most intelligent
class of farmers, but they are beginning
TO know more. In the matter of po-
tatoes. for instance, they supposed they
would sell their product at 25 cents
more per buShel by virtue of that duty.
The crop in New England was very
short last year, and when plant
ing time came last spring the
farmers not only had none to
sell, but many had to buy, both
for seed and consumption. The supply
was had from the other side of the line,
and sold at 81 per bushel. They bought
freely and put III an unusual crop, look
ing for the big dollar to roll into their
pockets in the fall. They have had
large yields, and they find that the tariff
does not cut any figure with them
not a cent bushel does it. add to
their receipts. They can get only the
usual prices of other years, 80 to 50
cents. They are protected against the
Canadian potato by the longer freight
hauls, and that is the only protection of
any value to them. The tariff only
comes in when they have nothing
to sell and are buyers at the
higher prices. 1t is a burden to
them, as to other consumers. The case
IS the same with other farm products.
There is no fruitage for them in protec-
ton. There are, however, disabilities
for them i'll it. In his recent effusion
pieturing the mlllennial era for agri-
culture, Secretary RUsK has, among the
essential contributing factors, ''wise
legislation reducing the burdens of the
farmer TO a minimum" and the exer-
else of the same zeal in opening the way
for the sale of his products in foreign
countries as has been shown for the
manufacturing, mercantile and financial
interests. That is, lie will be permit
ted to find the best markets the
world affords for him, and allowed to
buy as he sees fit in the markets where
he sells. or where he can do best. He
will not long be deluded with the pre-
tense that he is to be benefited by duties
on farm products, and compelled to pay
taxes for the exclusive benefit of other
people on his clothing, WOODEN goods of
all sorts. carpets, crockery, glassware,
tinware. and about everything he has to
buy for the use of his family. Even
Uncle JERRY RUsK. cannot see his good
time coming until there is a radical
change in the government policies.
