COUNTY NEWS,
1.-THE Editorial We Explained"

AIle ILuitofiaI w e fINpIalncu.
Under the above heading the Cum
berland Nees reports the following:
A gentleman fthis city who is well known
as an advertiser, wrote to a country journal
not over thirty miles from Frostburg in
reference to rates for advertising. He also
asked for an explanation of the word 1--WE"
as used by all newspapers. The answer re-
ceived was as follows:
MID May 10, 1890, Dear Sir-By this
mail we send YOU in separate wrapper copy
of our paper. We would like to secure an
advertisement from you. Our circulation is
1900 or 1000 more than any other paper in
the county and our influence is first class.
We are a boy of - years old. Other papers
eXaggerate about their circulation but we
don't. We printed 5000 extra papers as
sample copies last week and of course our
sworn circulation tins week is based on last
weeks issue.
The JOURNAL can see that In this
case ''we" is u 12-year-old circulation
liar, but where Is the "explanation"
the advertiser asked for

A Discrepancy Elaborated.

n discrepancy ElaDofaleu'
We call the attention of the Frostburg
Journal to the strange behavior yesterday of
Senator Hill the man who made the phrase,
81 am democrat" famous. Senator Hill
was the champion of high protection to cuffs
and collars, the duty on which for some
darkly hidden reason, has given the JOURNAL
50 much ofIense The action of the Senator
yesterday will destroy the effect of some of
the great papers finest and most sarcastic
paragraphs. 1t persistently accused the re-
publicans of demanding high protection for
cuffs and collars with one breath and with
the next shouting for free coal. But when
it comes too "show down the leading cham
pon of protection to cuffs and collars and
free coal is its party idol David Bennett Hill,
the lama democrat from way back. These
things must be discouraging to the great
paper.-Cumberland NcmS.
The JOURNAL has never been an adj
mirer of ID. b. Hill.
1t was not, therefore, either sur
prised or chagrined at his freak of
Monday.
And yet there was something in his
caper which slightly redeemed him on
the one hand while it damned him on
the other.
Under the Mckinley Act the duty
on collars and cuffs, according to
Senator A!drich, is equivalent to IS
per cent. M ralorem, while the ''com-
1,il .llnr,-., thn,,, e vent
"a reduction of II per- cert.
An Act, therefore, which gives
collars and cuffs, which have the whole
country for market, IS per- cent, and
left coal, with a market restricted to a
small part Of the country, with only
% per cent, ought to show up very
plainly the "darkly hidden reason
For this discrimination norepublican
in 1890, nor democrat in 1894, includ.
ing the great 81 Am" has ever deigned
an apology nor an eXplanation-eX
cept when the NerS itself inaptly con-
tended that ''the makers Of collars
and cuffs should have as much pro-
lection as the miners"
The JOURNAL is not surprised, there
fore, so much at the sore-headcd Hill
as at the Netcs. For in the treatment of
collars and cuffs, compared with coal,
the two differ only in degree-not in
kind. With the former at GS per- cent,
the Ne,cs was and is satisfied with coal
at %. Mr.. Hill is content to throw
away 1t cents per dollar on collars
and cuffs and % cents on coal.
Il is surprising, then, to note that
the Ners finds fault with Mr.. Hill for
anything else than the depth of the
dig on coal.
1t was heartless in Hill, while stick
ing to both the principle and method
of protective determinations, to stop
collars and cuffs at IS per- cent, when,
with coal free, he should have brought
them down to about 9 per- cent. in order
to fully meet the Netrs' idea of the
proper ratio Of protection due to the
collar and-cutf factors and the miners.
That is to say, when government
ceases to afford any solt of tariff pro-
lection to miners, it must still find 9
cents per 81 somewhere and somehow
for the collar-and. cuff maker
The correct stntYs of the emente is
there is an unfair "divvy' for the
NecS and Mr.. Hill to quarrel over,
while the JOURNAL disfavors both a
system and regime under which "div-
vies'' are unfairly made.

CLEANED as follows:
No trade review of bituminous coal can be
written when there is no such thing as a
market. Very little coal is coming here just
now, probably not more than barely sufficient
to supply the steamship trade. Such coal
brings all the way from 81 to Sc alongside.
