From the Havre dc Grace Republican.

Sheen raisers want tariff on wool. Carpet
and cloth manufacturers want free wool.
Cattle raisers want tariff ON hides. Shoe
manufacturers want free hides. So the tariff
iangle continues. no odds what the political
complexion Of Congress. II is utterly i'm
possible 10 prdteet, through amy system 81
taxation. ONE industry first at the expense OF
another The only possible way to eliminate
tie agitation of the tariff question from public
discussion, is to let every industry be gov
erned bv the nasural and memorable law OF
supply and demand and unhampered compeh-
ton All attempts by legal partalIty, IN the
way OF wet nursing, substituting and bolster
ing up any one industry above another-in
this country, where the interests are so varied,
wide spread and adverse, must continue the
agitation of tariff taxation, as it has done for
the past sixty years.
From the Frederick Citizen.
The drnmmers, who represent nearly every
line of business and who visit our city, still
shake their heads when asked if that prom
;sad nrosperity has returned. All over the
country the furnaces and factories are idle;
strikes continue yet; combinations and trusts
are flourishing. The people realize that these
trusts are the creatures OF the Repnbhcan
party: that they receive all kinds OF Legislation
necessary for their life and existence They
also know that il was with the money secured
from these combinations that Mark Hanna
was enable to buy up the last Presidential
election The farmers and the workmen all
over the land are the great sufferers. The
remedy will be given them to change their
rnIers and relegate those who have deceived
them to the rear What promise made by
Republicans in Maryland has been fulfilled
Was the late assessment one of the blessings?
viii increased taxation tend to promote our
happiness? Will the heavy expenditures IN
the municipal department Of Baltimore help
the struggling workmen, with little homes, 10
nav their taxes? Has the attitude OF Wei
fington and Lowndes justified the action OF
Democrats in abandoning their partyY Has
the bossism of Wellington made Democrats
contented with having placed the entire cleo
tion machinery of the State in the hands of
our enemies? Have not all of these things
made Democrats determined TO undo the
great wrong they have placed upon their
people? These are some OF the questions
Marylanders should consider at this time.
From the Cecil Democrat.
Unless the Democrats of Maryland turn
fools and refuse to accept their opportunity,
thew are sure to redeem the State this Fall.
The Republican party has had short lease
of power but it has shamefully abused. It is
already boss-ridden and boss-tired. Its lead
ers are Jealous and ready to betray or openly
oppose each other Its record is one OF brib-
ery. corruption and Encouragement, and
proof positive of its unworthiness. Are we
then to allow our chance to pass, because,
forsooth, we were for or against the Chicago
platform last year, or are for or against Mr.
German next year? 1t is to be hoped that
the Democrats of Maryland have more polti-
cal sense. Surely we have had enough of ex-
perience by this time to show us that if we
would win we must put aside individual pre-
ferences and unite for the common good.
From the Cumberland Times.
What great county Allegany is, anyhow,
with the best steaming coal in the world,
besutiful scenery, railroads, canal and hospi-
table, prosperous people, added to which is a
Governor, United States Senator and a
United States Sub-Treasurer. Resources
Here is challenge to any county, in any
State in the Union to beat our combination.
Some people may call this jingoism. Maybe
it is. We don't know See Senator Wei
lington first before seeking information else
