HARM"
On July 81 the Liverpool Echo
repeated the warning:
Now that our home elections are
over, the great conflict which is
proceeding in the United States of
America naturally begins to attract
little more attention. a..
The discussion of the question at
issue, from the English point of
view, has only one effect in the
United States, and that injurious
and paralyzing to those who are
fighting the battle of Free-Trade,
Every public expression of opinion
in this country hostile to the Nc.
Kinley Tariff, from a British point
of view, is telegraphed across tho
Atlantic and eagerly reproduced il
the Republican papers throughout
the country. As we have said be
f2s the apostles of Free-Trade, il
they wish to further the principle,
they are so proud of, should rigidly
hold their tongues during the pres
ent Presidential campaign. Theil
utterances do incalculable harm
to the Democratic cause, and il
Mr.. Cleveland is defeated it will be
largely owing to the too loudly and
indiscreetly expressed remarks pro
ceeding from these shores.
How do you like fighting under
the British flag, Democrats?

Harrison's Administration

Hon. 7. j. Morgan in Review of Reviews.
The administration of President
Harrison has been in keeping with
his personal character-clean, able,
conservative, dignified and patriot
&c. He has naturally gathered
about him men who sympathize
with him in his views and resemble
him more or less in character. The
general tone of his administration
has been impaired to it by its
Chief, and there have been no
grave scandals, defalcations or 9TH
er stains to mar its good name.
The search light of political inves-
legations, seeking campaign ammu-
milton, have brought to view moth
ing that challenges criticism. An
opposition Senator, in an article
on the Administration published
in the June number of the North
American Review, does not even
hint at anything to the discredit
of his personnel, motives or meth
DDS; while Senator Dawes says:
Gle called into his Cabinet men
as his advisers who commanded at
once the fullest confidence of the
country; some of them already so
tried in public service that they
had been designated by common
consent for the places they filled.
Some of them were new men in
public life, but brilliant service has
in each case proved the sagacity
and wisdom of the selection. Sub
ordinate offices have been filled
with able and clean men ;commenda-
ton of this administration does not
demand or claim that there has been
no exception. In the vast machin-
cry of this government, in opera
ton at thousand points, many of
them thousands of miles beyond
the eye of the Executive.
it never has been nor never can be
the case that men who operate it
will in every instance prove them
selves fit and faithful. But one
who has witnessed the successes
and mistakes of administrations in
this particular during nine of these
quadrennial periods challenges
without fear for the present admin
istration a comparison with any or
all of the Others"

Supper Before MARRIAGE.

There was a ripple of excitement
at the Oakland Hotel on Wednes-
day night, all caused by the arrival
Of young couple who gave THEN
names as I. F. Mcintyre and Miss
Jennie Thomas, of Petroleum.
W. Va.
The young man at once asked fol
bell boy, whom he dispatched t.
the proper official for a marriage
license with instructions to bring
along a minister to make himself
and his bonnie companion one,
and then the two went to the din
ing-room to supper.
Ere the first course was finished
the bell-boy rushed post haste tc
the dining-room with the informa-
ton that the license clerk insisted
on the would-be-groom coming for
his own permit, so Mr.. Mcintyre
left Miss Thomas to finish her meal
while he went after the important
document.
He returned with the paper and
the clergyman, and found that the
young lady had eaten her supper
and gone to room 209, but before
going through the ordeal of taking
unto himself a wife he ate supper in
solitude, and then asked that the
marriage ceremony be performed.
Mr.. Cologne, the manager, offered
the young couple the use of the par
lor, which they declined, saying
they wished the affair to be as pri-
vate as possible, so at $50 O'Clock.
in room 200, the Rev. G. W. Keep
Ter performed the ceremony which
made the yound lady Mrs. Mcintyre.
Mr.. Cologne and Mr.. Hazleton were
the only witnesses.
The groom, a clerlcal-looking
man of "a, wore black suit with
cutaway coat and white tie, while
the blushing BRIDE of 10 was dressed
IN stylish gray travelling suit.
After the marriage some stray
members of Jungnickle's Orchestra
attempted a serenade under the
window.
Mr., and Mrs. Mcintyre are still
at the hotel, and are objects Of
much interest to the guests, who,
believing them to be a runaway
couple, are now looking for al
irate father-in-law to put in an ap-
pearance.
Up to the present time no modern
Lord Ullin has been seen looking
for his daughter.

SPEAKING of the diabolical way
in which the Republican party has
"squandered the surplus" it is
important to note that the interest
bearing debt of the United States
has been reduced since the inaug-
uration of President Harrison in
the sum of over $275. 900, 900, and
that the annual interest charge,
which, when he was inaugurated,
amounted to S34,000,000, was, on
June 80, 1892, only 1922, 900, 900, a
decrease of sl2,000,00C, or over
one-third.

The Democrats professed great
jubilation over the election of 1890
and claimed that it was a condem-
nation by the people of the McKin-
ley law. Yet they are trying to
obscure the tariff issue and to
bring forward the purely local is
sues in the States in which they
elected the Congress two years ago.
This is confession of weakness.
Local issues can cut no figure in a
Presidential year, and the peo-
pie cannot be blinded on the tariff
issue.

A Growing Industry.

The tin-plate industry of the
United States under the Mckinley
tariff was one year old on the first
day of July. This is the record Of
the American production: First
quarter, 500, 722 lbs; second quar-
ter, l,4O9,S22 lbs, third quarter,
3,0o4,oS7 lbs; fourth quarter,
5000, 900 lbs. If the production
should increase at the same rate
for the next year and a-half, the
home supply would be fully equal
to the home demand.

Mr.. Wellington in New York,
We clip the following from Sun
DAYS Baltimore American:

BUREAU OF THE BALTIMoRE AMERICAN, !
Room li5, WORLD BUILDING,
NEW YORK. August Is.
Hon. Geo. l.. Wellington, Re-
publican candidate for Congress in
the Sixth Maryland district, which
is Mr.. McComas' district, was one
of the earliest callers to-day at the
Republican National Headquarters.
He came over last night and is
staying at the Imperial Hotel, and
will leave here Sunday night. Mr..
Wellington had a talk of nearly
two hours duration with Secretary
McComas, of the Republican Ma
tional committee, and in the after
noon had a conference with sew
eral other members of the COM
mittee, among them Chairman Car
ter.
The talk was principally about
Republican prospects in Maryland,
and especially about the state of
affairs in Mr.. McComas' old dis
trict. Mr.. Wellington was assured
that the National committee would
aid him materially in his fight. If
they do not help the Republicans
in finantial way, they will GER
tainly send some of their best
speakers into the district-men of
National repnte. 1t is not improb-
able that Major Mckinley will de-
liver several speeches in the dis
trict. Secretary McComas, will
leave his desk at headquarters long
enough to make several speeches
for Mr.. Wellington.
When he had finished his talk
with Secretary McComas, Mr.. We'll
hngton received the American cor
respondent and said to him: Il
have no doubt of the result in my
district. | think | will be elected
by substantial majority. AS yet
| have not the names of the prom
inent national speakers who will
deliver addresses in the district,
but the members of the National
committee, through Secretary Nc
Comas, have assured me of their
aid and support. We viii win on
the two nam issues of the cam
paign- the protective tariff and
sound money. The speeches
made will deal with these issues.
Mr.. McComas viii also deliver
several speeches in my interest. =
VIZ. Wellington said that he had
thought seriously over the propri-
prietv of sending in his resignation
from the federal office he now oc-
cupies before the opening of the
campaign, and would probably re-
sign his position as soon as he be-
gan the active work in his district.
He thought the campaign would be
fairly open by the middle of Sep
TENDER. From the reports he heard
while at headquarters, Mr.. We'll
lington said the outlook for the
Republicans was, to his way of
thinking, extremely bright.

State. They were kept on the
road for an entire year, showing to
the people of other commonwealth
the resources, the advantages and
the boundless opportunities to be
found in that great domain OF the
Southwest. Airport upon the work
done was submitted by the director
of the exhibit, and some of the facts
contained in it are most suggestive.
The cars passed through some
part of Is states and traversed %
lines of railway. They travelled
10, 900 miles, and % tons of reading
matter and maps descriptive of
Texas and its resources were distrib-
uted en- route. About 100000
people passed through the cars at
places where stops were made, and
80, 1000 names were recorded in the
visitors register. A list Of 13,400
names and addresses were given to
those in charge of the cars, with
request that additional information
be sent to them. Free transporta.
ton for the cars and attaches were
| gwen by the railroads, and $50, 00C
lines of "write ups" were secured
| from the various papers of tho
country.
AS a result Of this enterprise,
immigration has been turned Texas
ward, and the director has facts in
his possession which show that some
200 farms have been purchased and
10 manufactures located by people
who were induced to 90 to Texas
on account Of the showing pre-.
scented by the exhibit cars.
These facts are thus mentioned
in detail to show the practicability
of the scheme. Texas wanted
strong helpers to assist in develop
ing the state. Her people went
out into "by-ways and hedges" and
compelled them to come in"
And we submit that it is some such
enterprise as this which MARYLAND
needs. We have just been told
by the official resolutions of the
state Farmers Alliance that rural
interests are perishing, and that
paucity of labor is reducing the
Maryland counties to a wilderness.
Here is an example which might
proftably be initiated by the fruit
growers, landowners, mine workers
and railroads Of Maryland. Let
the enterprise be inaugurated, let
the exhibit car be prepared and
sent through the North and West
of its campaign of education. !"
1t would pay many times over.

Republican VS. Democratic Success.
President HafriSon's admins
trative record is his best and strong
est recommendation to the support
of the American people in the ap-
preaching election. 1t satisfies all
honest-thinking and public-spirited
citizens. 1t is patriotic in purpose
and upright in performance. 1t
has advanced civil service reform
in wider application and along
the rational lines of practical and
permanent benefit.
The twin agents of American
progress - Protection and Reel
procity- have increased employ
ment at home, enlarged trade
abroad and advanced the income
while they have cheapened the
necessities of of the people. In
all that makes for the country's Sc
curity and the peoples happiness,
in the stability of the currency, in
the creation of a new navy, in
the extension of internal improve
ments, in the practical application
of needed reforms-our nations
future progress all hinges on Re
publican success.
All these great public causes, in
which the people are so vitality in
volved and deeply Interested,
would be violently checked, if mot
fatally crushed, by a Democratic
victory in this election. Free
trade is the only cause which Dem
ocrahc success would prosper.
This is not all. A Democratic
victory not only means the dis
turbance of business, the loss of
public confidence, and the agitation
of the foundations o. government,
by the introduction of wild and
chimerical schemes If social, polit-
ical and economic innovations, but
it would also mean the Inauguration
of carnival of corruption. There
is not an intelligent supporter of
Grover Cleveland Who does not
know that the election of the DEM
ocratic candidate is only possible
by wholesome crime at every
Southern polling place.
Now it is manifestlthat no good
cause can prosper an6 no public re-
form succeed in the hands of a
party whose supporters not only
tolerate but encourage this crime
against freedom and humanity.
The conservative citizens OF this
country, those who have interests
at stake and who take a patriotic
pride in the progress and prosperity
of this nation, are, therefore, salts
fed that the welfare of the people
and the security of the government
will be best conserved by the con-
tinuance of Republican supremacy
under the safe and sagaclous
craftsmanship of President Harri-
son.

fore the manufacturers get there
heads together and conclude that
the only way out of the difficulty
for them is to force the farmer who
raises sheep to pay revenue of 6
cents per pound to his own Gov
eminent to allow him the privilege
to produce wool and he must pay
81 cents per pound to some foreign
steam ship or sailing vessel line to
carry wool to the American manu-
tacturer. That settles it! !

any such a doggoned thing. ]

was shining, say from '62 to '65
that he did not get a focus on the
running gear of this Government
and have some free trade injec,ed
into the wool business at the start
Just to protect the farmers.
/ My mind is made up. | won't be
forced to pay any more 9 cents du-
ty on the wool | sell, and ! Will
not pay any more exorbitant freight
charges. The idea of the unsus-
pecting farmers of Garrett county
having to pay 81 cents per pound
for carrying foreign wool to the
American manufacturers! Why it
is utterly preposterous. l will kill
every blarsted sheep first, and then
wait until ! get some free trade to
protect, or, l will build few wool
en- mills, or perchance may con-
clude to buv a half dozen or 50
steamships and go to freighting
wool at 81 cents per pound.
How person can be fooled,
happen to know some manufac-
turers, and they seem to be real
nice people. | never suspected
that they would be guilty of i'm
posing such burdens on the poor
tax-ridden farmers.
And what will Mckinley say
when he discovers that instead of
IL and II cents per pound as he
put it in his bill, that the duty is
only 9 cents after all, according tc
this correspondent? That will be
rough on Mckinley, but since the
Garrett county farmers have to pay
the duty on foreign wool I don't
care; we can stand the reduction
and Mckinley deserves "settine
down" anyhow.

American Economist, from the Lon
don Economist, from the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, etc., but I
forbear. 1t is getting late and !

SENATOR CARLISLE admits that
wages were higher, cost of living
less and prices of farm products
higher in May, 1892, after the pas
sage of the Mckinley law, than in
June, 1889, before the passage of
the Mckinley law. He is bound
to admit it because, having taken
part in an exhaustive investigation
of the subject he found it to be a
fact. The best argument this
ablest of free-traders can find in
the face of these stunning facts, is
that it would have been the same
had the Mckinley law not been
passed. The people are not dis
posed to daily with what might be.
