WORDS OF CHEER.

Our esteemed cotemporary the
Baltimore ,SuR, gives timely enoour.
agcment to The Republicans OF Mary
land upon the eve Of the Congress
sional canvas. A correspondent in
Howard county having asked our
contemporary, what will become Ct
the German Democrats in Maryland,
now that their 'king greater than a
Gar" has planted himself so con
spicuously on the protective tariff
principle of Republicanism?" The
SIN replies that:
Not in twenty years have the Republicans ia
Maryland been so much encouraged to 20 into a
Congressional contest with hope Of success us
now when, by an audacious act Of miSrepresenta-
ton, the Senators OF the State in Congress have
in the lace OF earnest remOnStrance-wped out
the fundamental principle which makes all the
difference in the world between Il Democrat and
a Republican. The attitude OF the Senior Sena-
tor o! Maryland is that Of voluntarily surrender
ing Democratic principie-if he ever mad any.
AS a tariff prOtecttonist, what control should he
be allowed to exercise in Il campaign for Con
gressmen who will be called upon to promote
liberal tariff reforms? The question asked by our
correspondent as to what will become of the
German Democrats in Maryland therefore an
swers itself. There can be no German candidate
| for Congress this year in Maryland unless it is
desired to put the candidates election as Demo
crat in serious jeopardy by running him under
| such auspices. If German candidates are put in
the field they should he let severely alone by all
| tariff reiUrmers.

THE only way in which the Senate
can at all redeem itself from universal
contempt will be to take up and speed
lily pass the bills for free sugar, free
coal, free IRON and barbed wire, passed
yesterday by the House. These bills
will remove SI75,oo 900 of the vast
burden of the Senate's protective"
taxation, the bulk of which, under the
German scheme, will simply 60 as
plundef 10 the iron and coal kings
and the sugar trust. Senators Hill,
Voorhees,, Vest, Jones, Mills and others
have ali along protested that they were
not in sympathy with the German
Smith ring. They now have It in their
power to give the country some proof
of their sincerity by an earnest and
instant advocacy of the new tariff bill.
The country will hold the House
responsible to stand out for its supple
mentary bills if it has TO remain in
session till December.-Nc7V Ivk

A DISH OF CROW.

Now that Senator German has
waved his protection" wand, and
the free trade Democratic members
of the House have bowed the preg-
nant hinges Of the knee that political
thrift may follow fawning, it is very
plain proposition, that some of our
Democratic brethren in Maryland
must either stay away from the
banquet OF party spoils, or sit down
TO disagreeable dish of crow,
spiced probably with a little sass.
While we have no disposition to
disturb the serenity, or to question
the judgment of our cotemporary of
the Cecil Democrat, by making any
adverse criticism or satlrical COM
ment on his utterances of last week,
yet viewed in the light of subsequent
events, or putting it differently, since
Mr.. German has whipped both the
President and lower House into
terms on the tariff, the Democrats
utterances OF last week seem little
too previous.
In this tariff fight, said the Democrat, we are
with the people and the President, and opposed
TO Senator German and all his herchmen, and
no amount of political favor thrown Mr. Wirt's
way, will modify our criticisms or prevent Us
from continuing in this fight humble though our
part may be- We speak for the people OF Cecil
county when we say that the yoke of misrepresen-
tation by our United States Senators is becoming
too calling for suferance. The Democrats OF
Cecil have no use Tor a Protectionist and they
stand ready, no matter who the local boss may
be, to instruct their next representatives in the
Legislature to vote for true Democrats, not those
who favor a tariff for personal revenue.
Now the proposition seems a fair
one, or at least the present prospect
seems to warrant the proposition,
that the Gorman-Brice-Smith-
Murphy-patent-Sugar Trust Bill will
not only be live issue in the present
Congressional canvas, but no less
prominent one in the next Presiden
tial campaign.
If the Democrat is opposed to
Senator German and all his bench.
men"-and the Democrats OF Cecil
have no use for "protectionist,"
from present prospects our cotem-
porary viii either flock by himself,
or take his dish Of crow, for Just now
Senator German is bigger man in
the Democratic party, than the
President, with the House thrown in.

EATING GROW,

"And now, said General German, lets move
upon their works.
Range up your biggest cannon and pulverize
those Turks;
Bring forth your heavy siege guns and blaze
away with will,
Your smooth bores are not htted to kill the
Wilson bill.''
Twas bulky Colonel Cleveland who held Fort
Saccharine,
A stouter man than Grover not often may be
seen.
With watered bags of sugar he'd fortified the
walls,
And iron ore and coal Jumps he used for cannon
balls.
The fort had been beleaguered for better than a
year,
The garrison was starving, and Wilson shook
with fear;
at length the white flag tuttered above the
postern gate,
And all the brave Free Traders beheld their
coming fate.
Said Crisp, old Gro's lieutenant, We've no
provisions lett,
Our iron ores exhausted, OF coal we are bereft
"Re merciiul, . German" said Grover with a
sigh,
and give us fair conditions Thus German
made reply:
Ills one OF my conditions that you must eat a
bird;
I'm letting you down easy, though really it's
absurd.
The bird must not be eaten the same as quail on
toast;
The bird may be black one, and net a boil or
roast.
The fort it was surrendered. the garrison marched
out
In Free Trade rags and tatters, a motley rabble

With Germans dish uncovered they ranged up
in 4 row

But whatever hearlburnin9s the

passage will mark the beginning OF

as dead as door nail. The Novem

that point in the minds of the Free

A STARTLING STATEMENT.

In his speech before the Democratic
caucus on Monday, Mr.. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, Chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee OF the House,
and whose name the defeated Tariff
Bill bears, after admitting that the
Representative Of the House had failed
to reach conclusion honorable TO the
House and the Democratic party, then
made the startling statemen! on the
authority of a leading Democratic
Senator, that tie Trust lad bought
sugar 10 tile amount Of ,SIL2, 600, 900
IN the foreign markets, IN anticibation
of tile Senate Sugar schedule receiV-
ing tile a1bro0aL Of tile President,
and that tile Trust z0oulareab a b1ofl
of $40, 100000.
This declaration made by Mr.Wilson
that the Sugar Trust had the people by
the throat, and that it was now a battle
royal between the people and this
great monopoly, marks piece of legis-
lative debauchery unparalleled in the
recent political history of the country.
Yet with the open knowledge of this
debauchery, the Democratic House
endorsed the infamy, and basely sur
rendered to the Senatorial dictation OF
the Senators from Havemeyer.
Is it any wonder that Mr.. Wilson S
Congressional associate, Mr.. Burke
Cochran, of New York, then and there
so eloquently portrayed the pathetic
contrast of the positions recently occu-
pied by Mr.. Wilson.
"On that momentous OCCASION" said
Mr.. Cochran, referring to the passage
OF the Wilson bill, "the gentleman from
West Virginia, borne upon affectionate
and loyal shoulders, was the central
figure of a demonstration which evil
denced the depth OF feeling throughout
the American people long pent up.
Today no more pathetic figure in the
history of the world can be observed
than that same leader, shorn OF his
support, walking down these aIsles,
disdaining to preyarlcate or misrepre-
sent the actual condition which con-
fronts US, confessing that he had been
deserted by those in whose support he
had every reason to ccnide, asking US

FREE WHISKEY.

The Democratic Tariff Thinkers al
Washington find, that provision in
the German Bill will cost the u. S.
Treasury about ten millions. This
provision exempts alcohol in the arts
Or in any medicinal or other like
compound from taxation. The Treas
ury officials assert that this is an
open door for colossal frauds, and as
the law stands, the only way to pro,
tect the Treasury is to mix methylic
spirits with alcohol before withdrawal
which would render it unfit Tor use az
a beverage.

A LATE DISCOVERY.

Now that a pop-gun bill to make
sugar free is pending in the Senate,
having passed the House, Secretary
Carlisle sends d message to the
Senate informing it that free
sugar will create a Treasury def
cheney of $50, 900, COO. If this be the
fact, it shows that the House acted in
the heat of passion when it passed
the German Bill, and without neces
sary data before it. This is another
evidence OF the inevitable faculty for
laundering shown by the Democratic
majority at Washington.
