senator AlIison's Address.

Senator Allison said Ours is govern
ment comprised of congress- which makes
the laws; the president who confirms the
laws, and the supreme court, which inter-
prets the laws. But it is the careful bal
10 of the people which makes them all.
The two great parties may have one u:ti-
mate object, but they differ inI method
The republican policy is to give every
man.. woman and child the necessities
and comforts of life, and hence to have a
happy and prosperous nation. The
United States have had a republican
president and republican congress for
almost thirty years. The chief RESPONSE
bility of the government has rested on
the republican party 1t has made mis-
takes, but the spirit and purpose of the
republican party are toward the common
interests of the entire commonwealth
and TO perpetuate the flag of the Union.
For four years our best young men were
on the tiresome march and the bloody
field for those purposes and that cause
shall be maintained.
"The wealth of the United States in
creased from $l6,000,0 00, 100000 in 1870
70 $4,000, 100000 in 1890. This in
crease has been proportionate in all parts
of the United States. But the agricul
tural states have advanced most. In 1891
our corn, barley, oats and wheat crop
amounted to $3.50, 100000, our cattle pro-
duction was worth 100000 900, our hogs
5000 000,000. our butter 5000, 10000 and
our eggs 500, 100000. The increase in
our egg production in 1890 over 1880 was
$69000,000. Why? Because the 4,000,-
600 of persons employed in factories and
in transportation and otherwise consumed
them. The markets for these products
were found at home, because all the peo-
pie were kept employed at good wages.
This was realization of the republican
policy. What We can do under the
American flag should not be left to be
done by foreign nations. We can diver
sify so that all the peope will aid in
productions.
"The republican policy is to legisate
for the United States, and not in the
interests of great Britain, as has become
the policy of the democratic party, whose
representative from West Virginia is
being Toasted by the chamber OF COM
merce of London in return for what he
has done for Great Britain"
Astwood's Desertion of Democracy.
WAsHINToN, d. c., Sept. 26.-H. c. c.
Astwood, the colored democrat who was
made much of by the democratic party
and given appointments in both of the
cleveland administrations, is out in a
letter declaring that he is no longer a
democrat and will take the stump for
the republicans. His letter is directed
to CHI. ]. Taylor. In it he says:
"The democratic party has purloined
our votes in the south ever since 1876,
and even before, TO maintain ficticiious
representation in the legislative branches
of the government, the electoral college
and the individual states. In view OF

The North Carolina democrats are, like
those of Tennessee, dolorously crying out
for money. They tell their national com.

the party together. The fondness for
being sugared that began in the senate
is spreading through the party in way
that ALARMS the leaders.

Is This the Break in the south.

Does the revolt of the planters in Lon
isiana mark the beginning of the break
from the democracy in the southern
states which all sagacious men have been
loakipg for for years past? There is no
longer any room for doubt that these
democratic boilers have accepted the
republican creed in good faith and with
out any reservations. At first it appeared
to the country at large that their quarrel
with the democracy did not extend
beyond the sugar issue, and that on this
question alone could they be counted OH
to support the republican party. This
seems to have been false impression,
however. The recent expressions OF
their leaders and the resolutions adopted
at their latest meetings show that they
have su Inscribed to the doctrine of protec.
ton in its broadest aspects, and that they
have cast their fortunes with the repub-
lican party for good.
1t has been clearly foreseen ever since
the war passions and prejudices began to
disappear that a partisan division must
ultimately take place in all the southern
Estates. Economic issues, as all intelligent
persons realized long ago, must some time,
and that too, in time not at all remote,
split the people below the old line Of
Mason and Dixon, as they have in the
rest of the country, into two parties Of
approximately equal strength. 1t was
seen that when the bitterness which
created and maintained the sectional sen.
timent subsidized, the spread of manufac.
turing and the general Investigation OF
industries which have been actively un-
der way in recent years in the south,
must develop differences in opinion
among the people Of that region that
would raise up rival organization to do
battle with the dominant party.

To the Editor ofrhe Republican
In "a few months the Republicans
of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict will be called upon to name a
candidate for Congress. Already
the names of several gentlemen
have been mentioned in connection
with the nomination from the diff
ferent counties comprising the Dis
trict. 1t seems to mo that justice
would give the nomination to this
county and that we are entitled to
that honor. Garrett county Rrpub
licans have always Loyalty supported
the nominee of the party, no matter
from what county he came. So
staunch and true has been that
support that Garrett county has
been a synonym for Repu blicanism
and when other counties forsook
the principles of the G. G.. P. Gar

A Democratic Scheme,

The municipal ticket which was
evolved at the citizens meeting on
Monday night last is composed OF
gentlemen well known and respected
in this community, and against
whom personally We have nothing
to say. We do deprecate however,
the scheme underlying their noml-
nations, for it is nothing more nor
less than an attempt on the part of
the Democrats Of this town to once
more regain control Of our munlci-
pal government.

of Democratic imbecility and incon-
sistencv in National affairs, even in
a local election, give aid or c0unte-
nance, or assist in any manner. in

We are panied to think that any

his allegiance to his party to for

Concerning Archer,s Pardon.
Very truly yours.

Governor Brown has fixed May
9th to take up the application for
the pardon of ex-State Treasury
Stevenson Archer. Advertisement
to this effect will at once be pub
llshed, so as to give those who may
oppose the application an oppor-
tunity to prepare their objections.
Archer term will explreSeptem ber1
deducting his communication for good
behavior. If the governor concu-
des to grant the pardon, Archer
will be released about June /, three
months before the expiration of his
sentence.
The governor is induced to take
this action by the strong petitions
filed wit him. signed by nearly all
the members of the Legislature
without regard to politics. Senator
Parran, of Calvert county, Repub-
lican, started these petitions and
interested himself in having them
signed. Numerous other petitions
asking this pardon are also on file
in the executive department.

The Congressional Candidates.

Speaking of the candidates
throughout this Congressional dis
trict, the Baltimore Ne,cs of last
Sunday, contained the following
which is of interests to the Repub-
licans to Garrett county:
"Garrett Republicans will also
come to the front with a 'candidate
for Congress this fall in the person
of George, W. Wilson, who has been
a memb Der of the House of Delegates
three times. Mr.. Wilson is lum-
Der manufacturer and is very pop
ular. His friends have been urg-
ing him for some time to allow
the use Of his name, and he has
finally consented. 1t is the first
time that Garrett Republicans have
asked for recognition IN Il Congress
sional convention, and they say If
Mr.. Wilson is nominated he will
make one of the most vigorous
campaigns the district has ever
known"

The Tariff of 1916.

The REPUBLICAN can say moth
ing stronger or more to the point
than the Wheeling IntelliQencel'
condenses in the following article.
upon the tariff bill, and the speech
of Senator VOORHEES, in defence
thereof:
The advocates of the Wilson tariff
bill delight to dwell on the good old
days when the Democratic party
made the tariff laws of the country
They have special fondness for the
Walker tariff of 1916. Senator
Voorhees, lauds it in opening the
discussion in the Senate.
The Walker taritf-tor-revenue
took the place of the protective
tariff of 1912. II was an abandon
ment of the protective policy and
was heralded as IA revenue measure.
In the first it was successful, in the
second an abject failure. 1t did
not raise the revenue enough to
support the government, and the
government was in Democratic
hands.
The tariff acts of 1916 and 1857
were in operation from lS47 to
to 1861, period of fifteen wears.
In that time the expenditures of the
treasury went beyond It's receipts by
$4,000, 900. The average annual
expenditures were $1,000, 900 so
that the deficiency was almost equal
to the cost of running the govern
ment for two average years, The
public debt increased from SIS, =
55O,202 in 1916 to $50, 5S0,873 in
1861.
The act of 1857 to make worse
the bad tariff of 1916 was signed by
President Pierce few hours before
he went out of office. President
Buchanan, who was just coming in,
was Pennsylvania and a protec-
zionist, and the free traders desired
to fix things before he got in.
Then as now the Secretary of the

sions. About sixty dollars were
taken, two twenty dollar bills and
other notes. Part of the notes were
in a small box over ten or fifteen
dollars in loose silver; the notes
were taken but the silver, so far as
we can see, was not touched.

Whether it was the scheme to
