For the Democrat Advocate
Underwriters Association.

EDITORS ADVOCATE = The Westminster
correspondent of the Baltimore american,
in the issue of Tuesday, 14th inst, in referring
to the formation of the Carroll County I'm
derwritersi Association, says, among other
things, 'sThis action of the agents is, there
fore, a matter Of unusual interest to property
owners in Carroll county generally"
This paragraph is calculated to create the
impression that the Agents are responsible
for the new rates, while the fact is that no
Agent in the county had anything to do with
their promulgation, but, to man, protested
against their adoption.
The Carroll County Association, and the
rates adopted by it were created by the I'm
derwriters' Association of the Middle De-
partment, (the office of which is in Philadel-
phia) body composed of representatives
from all companies Except Mutuals) doing
business in the portion of the United States
embraced in that department, and to which
all county boards and their agents are subor-
dinate, so far as rates are concerned.
la justice to the insurance agents of this
county, we respectfully request that this COR
reetion be made public.

From the New York Sun.
One thing should be kept clear in the mind
of every Democrat, although the weaker
brethren may have trouble in understanding
it, The Democratic platform and the Demo
cratic obligation to carry out that platform
are not altered by the result of Tuesday S
elections. Wherever those elections were
unfavorable to the Democracy, local causes,
the tendency toward independent voting in
off years, and most Of all the reaction and
disappointment caused by the period of stress
and uncertainty that precedes the creation of
a new system of taxation, may be clearly
traced. II is for the Democracy to go on as
quickly as possible to the fulilment of the
hope in which the American people intrusted
it with power last fall Make the tariff idea
a fact End the unrest and the uncertainty;
put to shame the trimmers and backsliders
who would have the Democracy play loose
with its word; wipe out protection, and es-
tabish the tariff for revenue only.
Then the Democracy will have no fear in
giving an account of its stewardship TO the
people. The elections this year came at a
time when the people were expecting much
and the Democrats had done little. 1t is
natural to suppose that when the Democrats
have done what the people have ordered them
TO do, the people will be satisfied.

A Protective Tariff.

A Protective tariff means tariff laid to
protect somebody, and tariff thus laid is
unconstitutional.
Any tariff at all is protective, but when
levied for revenue it is only incidentally
protective Revenue is the object, protec-
ton the incident
The powers of Congress are well defined
by the Constitution, and clearly limited.
The whole power relative to taxation is
contained in Article l, section 8, as fol-
lows
1.-THE Congress shall have power to lay and
collect taxes. duties, impots, and excuses, to
pay the debts and provide for the common
defence and general welfare Of the United
States; but all duties, impots, and excuses
shall be uniform throughout the United
States.
In other words, Congress has power to
levy taxes to pay the debts and proufte for
the common defence and general 'eelfare
of the United States.
There is no warrant for a protective
tariff in that clause. Protectionists found
their authority for protective tariff upon
the words general welfare" but the "gen-
eral welfare" is not promoted When one
class of citizens is taxed for the benefit of
another.

SEVERE STORMS AND FLOODS
Which Caused the Loss of Hun
dreds of Lives in Japan.

SAN FRANcIsco, Nov. 13.-The steamer
China bring news of frightful loss of life and
tremendous destruction by the floods in the
Southern and Middle Provinces of Japan.
At Toyoe the water rose 20 feet and sub
merged all the houses in the town. AT Mi
louma the water attained height of 80 feet,
sweeping away many houses II was still
worse in the neighboring project of Ekayema,
where, at Kawabe, the water rose IS feet and
broke down great embankment, carrying
away 200 houses. About 100 persons are
unaccounted for. The police station was de-
molished and the chief killed.
Going northward, the storm beat with VIC
lence on the island of Sado, where it broke to
pieces six vessels in the port Of Yebisu, and
nine others at Suisi, whereby four seamen
lost their lives. Before going so far northward
it touched at Toyame- Ken, and carried away
As houses, and broke down the roads at
Shing Minato, but happily without any loss
of life. At the city of Toyama so houses were
carried away, and over 1000 are under water
The Yoshino rose 25 feet in Tokushima- Ken,
many houses were demolished and the en-
bankment burst in many places. In Kawa
hee and the neighborhood 400 houses were
carried away, and the fate of over 800 persons
is as yet uncertain, while similar number of
houses have been swept away at Kuboya. At
Tanoura, in Buzen, "a large number of junks
and fishing boats were smashed to pieces
Up to the present the report Of the greatest
loss of life, so far as actually known, comes
from Futakata- Gun, in Hyogo- Ken, where a
mountain side gave way, burying two villages
and killing fifty persons. At Misumi, in. Ku-
mamitoken, nine tenths of the houses were
damaged, and all the godouns of the rice ex
porters were blown down. At both entrances
to the port, 100 vessels were shattered TO
splinters, but the number of men drowned
has not been ascertained. The wharf at 0ita
harbor is half destroyed and majority Of the
houses are demolished. Thirty large junks
have been cast ashore and damaged, and
Mount Takas gave way, inaicting frrther
serious damage. The Tsurusakigaiya river
burst its banks and carried many honses to
sea.
In all sections innumerable bodies OF men
and cattle are to be seen in heaps. At Moi
"A vessels foundered. Of Tanowla seven
others were wrecked, and the crews we're
seen clinging to the topmasts and crying for
help, but no help could be given aud they
sank into the sea. The total number of yes.
sells wrecked in that neighborhood cannot be
much under 20.

Maryland and the Revolution.

The State Of Maryland bore herself gal
lantly throughout the revolutionary era.
Her high -souled, chivalric sons were among
the most ardent patriots of that tryi ng
period. Her statesmen were among the
foremost and irmest in fostering the spirit
of independence that eliminated in sep
aration from the mother country. Her
soldiers enthusiastically braved the battles
shock, and with more than Spartan devo-
ton were ever found where the fighting
was 6ercest. The great leader of the
American army paid them the highest
tribute that troops ever received upon the
field of carnage. The history Of those
times is the proud heritage of every Mary
lander, and especially of every son and
daughter of those Revolutionary sires who
emblazoned the escutcheon of our beloved
State with deeds of imperishable glory. 1t
is fit that they should commemorate those
deeds as oft as the occasion recurs, and it
is with qualification that we learn that the
Frederick Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, will commemorate
the first reputation of the stamp act, which
was by the Court of Frederick county, Nd,
on the 23d day of November, 1865. The
ceremonies will take place in the City Hall,
at s O'Clock P. NJ. Addresses will be de-
livered by distinguished speakers, an origi-
nal poem will be read by Charles II. Hoff-
map, Ii. D., and trained choir will rem
der selections of music, including the
national anthems.

Democrats Invite the Issue.

As soon as Congress rcassembles next
month the tariff contest will begin in earn
est. and all good Democrats will stand
shoulder to shoulder in redeeining the
pledge made at Chicago for modification
of the Tariff. The party cannot abate one
lot or title of its determination TO relieve
the country of this burden upon its pros
perity. To do so would be utter ruin to
its future prospects, and would be sure to
send it into retirement He is an enemy
to the Democratic party, and to the people
of the whole country as well, who would
counsel any other course. After the fullest
and freest discussion of the subject in the
Presidential campaign of last year, the
people gave a most emphatic expression OF
their will for the repeal Of the Mckinley
law, and the Democratic party dare not
disobey that will. The recent elections
adverse to the Democratic party, afford no
evidence of change of the peoples verdict
against the Mckinley tariff, for in nearly
every instance they were the result of local
causes, and had no significance as to ma
tional issues whatever Let the Democrats
in Congress lose no time in settling their
tariff policy, and if the Republicans want
to go before the country d-try the issue
over again in 1896, let them bring out Mr.
Mckinley as their champion for the Pres
:dency and for higher taxation, and we
will gladly meet them, rejoicing in the op-
portunity of forever settling this question
III behalf of the people, in favor of lower
and more equal taxation.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1893-11-18

The allegation of Stree trade" against
the Democratic party is falsehood reiter-
atcd by the Republicans every day. We
cannot have free trade while the revenue
for the support of the governments chiefly
derived from a tariff. We never had free
trade from the foundation Of the govern
ment until now Why, then, do the Re-
pubBcans persist in reiterating this false
hood against their Democratic opponents?
Simply to deceive those whom they sup
pose know no better. 1t is very low es-
innate which they put upon the public in
telligence, but it shows the estimation in
which tariff monopolists and corporation
capitalists hold the masses. And in this
differentiation of the intelligence of the
masses hes the secret of their frequent de-
feats at the polls 1t is the essence of
ancient ederalism-contempt for The peo-
ria

Plain Truth.
From the oakland Post.

Like the sick sinner, the beneiciaries Of
the Mckinley tariff who have just been plead
ing before the ways and means committee are
fertile in good promises to the laboring man.
sIf you reduce the tariff" they say, I'VE
shall have to cut wages or shut up shop" But
these sanctimonious friends of labor have
short memories. They obtained the present
rates of duty because, they said, they wanted
to pay better wages to their workmen.
American wages to American workmen"
was the shibboleth Of the campaign. But
they forgot their promises when they got
what they asked for. They continued to hire
their workmen for the lowest wages possible.
They continued to import Bohemians and
Italians and put them in the places Of the
American workmen, whom they pretended to
love so well. They have not raised wages,
but have lowered them. They will do the
same in the future whenever possible, tariff
or no tariff.

The intelligence of the colored voters of
Talbot county was well illustrated in the
late election They could not tell a letter
on the official ballot, but everyone of them
knows the picture of Lincoln. In order
to get them to vote straight Republican
tickets, some were instructed to place their
cross-marks opposite Lincoln's face. The
face on the ticket was turned to the left,
and the cross marks were placed in the
square to the right Of the Democratic en-
blem, and they voted straight Democratic
tickets instead of Republican. 1t is a
travesty on popular government when the
ballot is placed in the hands of voters who
are too ignorant to read the tickets they
vote; and this is the class of voters that the
Republican party depends upon for whatever
success they attain in Maryland.

Our neigbbor, the Sentinel, was illus
frated last week. Just what for,>no one
knows, for the election in Carroll went
heavily against its party, and the results
elsewhere were without national signifi-
cance Apart from this, however, the
question is, what did that cut pretend to
represent? It resembled somewhat an
elephant, but the tusks of the elephant do
not grow out Of its trunk. Il looked
something like seal, but seals do not have
trunks. And itappeared somewhat like a
rat. The animal-it was intended to re-
present was as uncertain as the Republican
victory it was to gloriiy. If the country
endorses Mckinley and MeKinlcyism in
1896, we will send our brood of ROSTERS
down to it to do some growing.

Early in 1891, Miss E. Mann gave $50, 900
worth Of real estate as the first endowment OF
a Protestant Episcopal Cathedral at Wash
ineton, d. c., and at once G. C. Glover gave
$4,000 and Miss Julia Merrill $4,000, and
others gave over Sl7 900. Besides this land
valued at over $3.50, 600 has been donated for
the site. The site is near Connecticut avenue
extended. the Klingle road and the Woodley
road, and the deed is given to Bishop Paret
and others, as part of the land for the benefit
of a cathedral foundation and the adjunct
scholastic, religious, ecclesiastical and edu-
cational institutions. The site OF the pro-
posed cathedral. which contains in all twenty
acres, is very elevated, one of the most superb
in the neighborhood. An effort TO secure
fund of Sl00, 900 from citizens Of Washington
is in progress. 1t is estimated that $4,000
GOO will be required to complete the enter
prise.

the stranger, who drew revolver and fired,

Tho projected manufacturers of the
country are circulating petitions among
their employees protesting against any
change in the tariff These will be show
cred upon Congress at its next session.
This was to be expected. Those who have
been enjoying the benefits of Protection
are not going to forego them without a
protest, but the Congress would do well to
remember that the Constitution warrants
no favoriiism and that the people Of this
country by an overwhelming vote, after
five years of discussion, declared for a tar
if for revenue.
