B. r. stockton g. Bro.

For number of years the firm of B. F..
Stockton and Bro. has been carrying On in a
quiet unassuming way the business of Foans
ders and Machlnists, at their place of business
on Middlebrook Avenue in this city. By
close application and industry they have year
by year added to this plant to meet the de-
mands of an increasing trade until that trade
has outgrown their ability to handle it with
their machinery and present facilities. Moth
ing was left to do but meet the demand on
them in the most practical way. so they are
now erecting two-story brick-building for a
pattern shop, and have set up hundred
horse power engine, put in large amount of
the newest and most costly machinery, and
will in short time have everything in the
best possible shape, assuring to the people of
the city and county an opportunity to have
made and repaired, everything in foundry
and machine work, including very heavy
castings. 1t gives us pleasure to note such
thrift aud enterprise.

Under the pretext of responding to
the Presidents recent financial mes
sage, and providing sufficient revenue
for the government. the republican
House has passed a protective tariff
bill, the effect of which according to
the statement of Representative Nc
Millin, of Tennessee, will be. If it be-
comes law, to tax the people $44 ,00O,-
600.
The bill passed the House by whip
and spur, under the limiting debate,
and preventing criticism. The repub-
licans frankly acknowledging that they
had no estimates from the treasury up
on which they based the bill, and re
fused to allow the minority time to
procure the proper estimates to show
the effect Of the measure.
The New York World says: sUnder
Speaker Reeds whip the House yester-
day precipitately passed bill to tax
the clothing, blankets and flannels of
the people. 1t is bill not likely ever
to get through the Senate. and is one
that is certain to be vetoed if it ever
gets to the President"
The bond bill introduced in House
by the republicans passed that body
on the 9th ult. It is doubtful wheth-
or either of the bills above referred to
will pass the Senate.
The Baltimore Sun says the compost
ton of the Senate committees proves
the existence OF shameful bargain
between the republicans and populists
