COAL, IRON AND SUGAR.
The Presidents Attack on Labor and
Tax on the Breakfast Table.

Tax on the Breakfast Table.
The president of the United
States, Nh. Grover Cleveland, has
seen fit to recommend to Congress
that coal and iron ore should be
admitted into the United States
free of duty, and that sugar should
be taxed. The extent Of such an
EVIL may be briefly stated as follows:
The coal product of the United
States in 1892 was $1,000, 900 tons,
worth $207, 500, 3S1 at the mines
mouth. 1t afforded employment to
341, 943 workers, who each found
remunerative occupation on PIP
different days in the year. Their
earnings amounted to 1924, 500, 1875,
and all expenditures to SAG, $50
$50. The total amount of capital
invested in the coal mines was $3.50,
100000. The principal states of
production, IN their order of IN
portance, were Pennsylvania, Hi
nois, Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama,
Iowa, Colorado, Maryland, Indiana,
Kentucky, Kansas, Missouri,
Wyoming and Tennessee. The
United States Senators from these
states are interested in the welfare
and prosperity of their state enter
prises and industries.
The iron ore product of the
United States for the year ended
June 80, 1890, was 4,518,041 tons
of 2,240 pounds each, worth $685.
351, 878 at the mines mouth. 1t
afforded employment to 3S,227
workers, who earned 4,4O9,151.
The total amount of capital INVESTED
was $109, 7GG,199, and the total
years expenditures were 1928, 781,-
65S from SOP different mines. The
principal states of production, in
their order of Importance, were
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Alabama. Hi
nois, New York, Virginia, Tennes-
see, Michigan, Wisconsin, New
Jersey, West Virginia, Missouri and
Maryland. The United States
Senators from these states are in
terested in the welfare and pros
perlty of their state enterprises and
industries.
The sugar consumption of the
United States on basis of rs, 000,-
600 People, at a per capita cOnsump-
ton of IS pounds, is APO, 0O0,0 900
pounds of sugar, The value of
1920, 100000 pounds at 3 cents
per pound is 1892, 100000. An ad
valorem tax of 40 per cent upon
this 1882, 600,0 will be $53, O4O,-
900 divided among the $4,000, 900
consumers of sugar Will be rs cents

bank. He filled this position ably
until called to the sub-treasury in
1882. Later he returned to Cum
berland, and the County Commits
sioners of Allegany county
appointed him county treasurer,
which position he held for SIX years.
"When he was comparatively
young, without the solicitation of
himself or his personal friends, and
against his wishes, he was momi-
mated for Comptroller of the Treas
ury Of Maryland. In his campaign
for that office in 1889, he made a
most active and effective canvass of
the State, speaking IN almost every
county, and a number of times in
the city of Baltimore. In no cam
paign since the Civil War has any
candidate displayed more ability,
zeal and unselfish devotion to the
interests of the party. He aroused
the people throughout the State by
his effective oratory and his able
and convincing discussion of the
issues involved, and polled 97,171
votes, greatly the largest vote ever
cast for any Republican candidate
in an off year, and never equalled
or excee aed. except in the single
instance of the Presidential cam
paigL of 1888, when General Harri-
son polled 99,9S4 votes. He carried
Allegany county by over LOO
plurality.
ole was a member of the Mary
land delegation to the National
Republican Conventions of 1884
and 1888. In 1890 he was ap-
pointed sub-treasurer at Baltimore
by President Harrison, which posi-
ton he filled with great credit and
ability.
ON the year 1892 he was nomi-
mated for Congress by reclamation,
and with little aid from the State
Committee and none from the
National Committee, he made one
Of the most gallant and vigorous
campaigns ever made in the district.
In consideration of his devotion to
the principles Of his party and of
his Invaluable services in behalf of
its success in all campaigns for
many years; and in view of q wide
spread and very general wish of the
Republicans of the district, that he
should again be the standard
bearer of the party, and the abso-
lutte certainty of his election,
together with the further fact that
he is a ripe political scholar, an
able and skillful debater, and would
make the people safe, discreet and
able representative, leayes no room
tor doubt as to the wisdom or JUS
tice of nominating him again for
Congress.
"lt now behooves every Republi-
can in the district to stand by him
in this fight. A vote cast against
him is an endorsement of the pres
ent incompetent administration.
He has been loyal to the party.
Let us be true to him.

Here is Another.

Mr.. Ferdinand Williams, a yerv
respectable ember of the Cumber-
land bar, was nominated for Con-
gress from the Sixth district yes
terday. Mr.. Williams took pains
to say that the nomination came to
him from the people. "Rings,
political syndicates and machine
politics." said he, "have no hand
in it, And Mr.. Williams Justly
declared that ga nomination thus
gwen is an honor of which any
man might be proud Such a
nomination in the Sixth district
ought, we think, to make man
strut.
Mr.. Williams is, or was, the
chairman of the Allegany County
Democratic Committee, composed
entirely of German men. "Rings,
political syndicates and machine
politics" may have had nothing to
do with his nomination, but they
were all around it. We suspect, in
spite Of Mr., Williams denial, that
German has another candidate and
the people of the Sixth district
another set of resolutions. The
work of fooling the people goes
bravely on.-BaItimore News,

The sugar planters of Louisiana
met at New Orleans on Monday
and carried their threat of revolt
into execution, and will affiliate
now with the Republican party,
In view of the fact that the resolu-
tons adopted unequivocally indorse
the doctrines of protection to Amer
lean industries, the wonder will be
that men holding such faith should
have remained out of the fold so
long.

HON. GEORGE /. WELLINGTON.

The Frederick Examiner of last
week contained the following short
sketch of Hon. George L. Yelling
ton, Republican nominee for Con-
gress in this Congressional district:
"Hon. George L. Wellington, of
Cumberland, has been honored with
the nomination for Congress by the
Republicans of the Sixth district of
Maryland. Mr.. Wellington needs
no introduction to the people of
this county or the Sixth district.
He was our standard bearer two
years ago, but met defeat. In that
contest the Republicans in this dis
trict partook Of the apathy tina;
prevailed throughout the country,
and although Mr.. Wellington was
an exceptionally strong candidate,
like those of other districts, was
sacrificed along with the gallant
Presidential standard bearer of the
National Republican party.
1.-The untoward outcome of the
campaign of 1892, has admonished
the Republicans everywhere, that
the Indifference that led to that up-
happy result must not be again in
dulged in by them. And we feel
confident that the patriotic senti-
ment of the people will not permit
a recurrence of the culpable supine-
ness and criminal neglect, that
made that inexcusable result posi-
bic in the Western Maryland Dis
trict.
George L. Wellington was born
in Cumberland in 1852. From the
time he was twelve years of age he
was compelled by reason of circum-
stances to earn his living. His first
employment was IN a Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal store. At the age
of eighteen years he was given a
position in the Second National
Bank of Cumberland. He rapidly
rose from one position to another
until he became paying teller in the

The LATEST Oakland quotation
for fleece-washed wool is sixteen
cents pound. In the correspond
ing week Of 1891 the quotation was
thirty cents a pound. The fall is
very nearly one-half. The farmer
who has one hundred pounds of
wool 10 sell gets 8l4 less for it than
he did three years ago. An excel
lent suit of clothes can be bought
for S14, but it will not be bought
with the $l4 which the farmer will
not get.

In Loving MenOrN.

Mr.. G. A. Bolden editor of The
Terra AHa Oracle, sometimes gets
into a poetical strain. Last week
the following appeared IN the col
umns Of his paper anent the death
of the Terra Alta Cornet Band,
(peace to its ashes) and we repro
duce it by request:
DECEASED On Thursday even
ing, August 10th, 1894, at its fes-
tiyal in Bank Hall, of spinal stran-
gulatiol and premature exhaustion
of necessary wind, The Terra Alta
Cornet Band, aged years, Z
months, 4 days and a few hours.
Gone to the land of the PliEketypluuk-
On the shores OF the Musical Sea
Rocked on the waves of the high clef,
In a bark ofthe Tamarind Tree
The bass-dIummer sits on a music machine
And pounds to tune OF the past;
The baritone, tenor and altos all three
Blow measures too silent 10 last.
The comets and piccolo, silent and grim,
List to ibis oft unheard strain;
the carionet's gone to the Classical West
To blow with the wind and the rain.
The snare-drum and cymbals get into fuss
About leven teen times to the day;
The bassoprofundO busticated his horn
While piping a canaly-brd lay.
So they sit on the shore of this Musical Sea
Playing tired overtures to the Moon,
While the Bugaboo weeps and cozzles her
Aad the BulII"og tunes his bassoou.
o, come back to us, we friends OF the past,
Come from those re- ions Internal
Come from the laud of the Plinketyplunk
And give us once more cd "Fratelnal.'
Alas! ADD alack the call is unheard-
No answer save that ofthe Poodle;
The band is defuDct- clear out o. sight
And the Katydd chants Yankee Doodle,

A Few Caustlc Remarks.

ALLIANCE, o., Sept. 18.-Thos.
Burton, president of the Daniels
Steel Tie Company of Youngstown,
who has been spoken of as a candi-
date for the congressional honors
on the Democratic ticket in this
district, in reply to an inquiry de-
clares that he is in no sense a can
didate and airs his views on the
subject in the following caustic
style:
| am anti administration, an
avowed and emphatic toe to the
Wilson bill and all Wilson billlsm,
Hoke Smithism, and the whole anti
Democratic political policy of
infamy of Mr.. Cleveland and his
retinue of unregenerated bills and
sadly degenerated Republicans in
cabinet and important missions at
home and abroad. Further, | am
an admirer and firm friend of that
sterling Democrat, honorable gen.
tleman and comrade of the Grand
Army of the Republic, Senator
Calvin S. Brice. Under these cir
cumstance you will readily compre
bend that ] have not been and
cannot be a candidate at this time.
| hope to see Mr.. Clarke or Mr.. Raft
the nominee, the former preferred,
and let Cleveland and Clevelandism
be the issue upon which the voters
of the eighteenth district shall make
emphatic declaration in November.
This has produced great sensa-
ton ia the Democratic camp.

Lower Vases For Lumbermen.

The threat Of free trade in lum-
Der has completely demoralized the
lumber trade in every section of the
country. There has been stagna-
ton in the building trade, which,
together with the uncertainty as to
future values caused by delay in
the tariff settlement, has naturally
curtailed the output Of the mills.
AS consequence there have been
many idle lumbermen, and their
wages have fallen. Two years ago
the lumbermen in Georgia were
earning from 81 to $1.25 per day,
but lately they have been only re-
ceiylng from 70 to IS cents for a
days work. They find that the
loss of 50 or So in a weeks wages
does not compensate them for any
cheapness there may be IN the price
Of goods. They begin to appro-
ciate that protection for lumber is
also protection for lumbermen, and
they wonder if the mere fear of
free trade has already caused loss
of 81 or SO a week in their earnings
what free trade itself will do. This
"object lesson is bringing the
southern lumbermen over to the
side of protection.

DURING the first week in July
We sent ouU from this office nearly
half thousand statements of ar
rearages for subscriptions, amount
ing in the aggregate to over sixteen
hundred dollars. The returns
have been altogether too slow and
we wish to call the attention of
those receiving statements at the
time mentioned to the fact.
We only want what we have
labored for and we want it badly.
We dislike this method of calling
the attention Of our friends to a
matter that has likely slipped their
minds, but it has become a case of
necessity.
Of the sixteen hundred dollars
we have received less than two hum

concessions. The above prices are
based upon 35c. for clean wool.
No foreign WOOL of the same kind
