AGAINST THE APPROPRIATION.
More Opinions on the Appropriation to the
Worlds Fair.

NEW WINDSOR CoRREsPoNDENr OF WEST.
MINISTER SENTINEL-Protests, loud and
deep" against the 100000 dollar appropria-
ton to the Columbian Exposition, are heard
continually. One can scarcely imagine a
more unwise expenditure of money, when the
returns must be SO meagre Why should the
| State be called upon for such an enormous
amount to advertise the individual interests
of large firms, to enable them to display their
wares to the world? Yet at the same time,
| the chief interests and advantages ofthe Com
monwealth, such as Lynnhaven oysters, can
vassback ducks, terrapins, and Carroll county
butter, as well as specimens ofgrain, fruit, min
erals, &c, will be displayed in the most attrac-
tive manner to induce immigration hither. But,
ISM it a very expensive performance, a high
priced privilege, when it is plain, nationally,
that 1t cannot allure a settler to Carroll coun-
ty, nor advance the price Of butter one cent
What is true of Carroll is true of nearly every
county in the State. Those portions of land
unsettled in Carroll and most other countless
but few persons would desire, when bound
less South and West offer superior advantages.
"My Maryland has the wealth and variety
of material to make most creditable display

reply to your request of the 23rd of January,
| have to say that, in my Judgment, the best
investment any established business can make,
is the payment of its debts The best evil
dence of progress, in a state, and the strong
est inducement to industrial enterprise, is ex-
emption from taxation. These principles APP
piled to the use of the funds received by
Maryland from the government, would stop
the appropriation for state building at Chi
cage. We will pay pound for penny by such
an appropriation, and at loss to many for
the qualification and advantage of compare
lively few. My limited faculties cannot see
any reason for spending our money this way
that is not met by better reason for using
it at home"
DAVID Z. STEM, SANS CREEK.-ln reply
to your inquiry us to whether our Legislature
ought to appropriate 100000 for a State ex-
hibit at the Worlds Fair, would say | am
opposed to it, for the reason fail to see where
in the people would be materially benefited.
1.-THE appropriation is to be made and has to
come out of the direct tax fund that the State
will receive from the general government, or
that a loan will have to be made, as has been
stated, the Legislature in my opinion should
deliberate wisely and well before making the
appropriation. think the direct tax fund
should be applied to the payment Of the pub
lie debt IfSl00, 600 is available at this time
think it could be more judiciously expended.
