a Great Exposition.

Yesterday the National Export Ex-
position OF Philadelphia, held its open
ing ceremonies in the auditorium on
Tie Exposition Grounds. After sew
efal months of preparation and hard
work everything except few stray
details and entries Was in perfect read
mess.
The exercises were opened with mu-
SIC by the United States Marine Band,
after which prayer was offered and
America" sung by the entire audi
ence, Several addresses were made
by the president and managers of the
exposition, and finally by w. p. Hep
burn, member Of Congress from Iowa
and chairman Of the Committee on
Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
Music followed this feature Of the
day and the Star Spangled Banner"
sung 10y the audieuce, ended the great.
est event that Philadelphia has seen
since the Centennial of 1876. In fact
this exhibition of the industrial, arts
tic and manufacturing interests of this
ana other countries will far surpass
the display at the latter celebration.
| The present exposition has large
gift of money from Congress and has
been largely advertised. The grounds
and buildings are beautiful and artisti-
cally laid out by gardeners of skill and
ability. The scope of the affair is
broad and its good results will surely
be in proportion to the effort made by
the Quaker City to have things right
on time and up to the expectations of
the thousands who will visit it. For
many weeks Philadelphia will be the
Mecca Of men and women of all call
ings and trades, who will take advan-
tage of the low rates on the railroads
to see not only the exposition but Phil
adelphia as well.
Any one who missed the Centennial
or Worlds Fair should bend every eff
fort to take in this exposition and see
the great strides that have been made
in all branches of industry.

Democrats, Pay Attention to Your
Registration.!

The attention of every Democrat is
called to the advertisement, in this is
sue, of the intermediate Registra.
ton" and in so doing we wish espec-
tally t. impress upon them the impor
lance of looking after this vital matter.
Ii has Always been our contention and
We think We ar right in our view, that
the registration is the rock upon which
rests the hope of any party. Without
carefully going over the field and see
ing that all the young Democrats are
put on the registration books, as well
as assisting, by legal means, if no
other avails, that names of young re-
groes who are not in their majority,
yet who, we are credibly informed,
have been given the right to vote by
the Republicans, be stricken from the
lists, as well as all others improperly
put on. All this as you well know, re-
quires time and organization, and we
thus early call attention to the fact, in
order that each district can get to
work and look after these matters.
This is time when the enemy will be
more than active, and it will require
most careful watching to prevent
fraudulent registration.
Only two days are set aside this year
for registration-First sitting of regis
trars, October 3rd, 1899, and second
sitting October 10th, 1S99-and it is in
cumbent upon all Democrats to briug
this fact to the notice of all who might
be interested. Don't wait, if you are
qualified as voter, until the last day;
something might happen to prevent
Look aftel transfers and changes of
residence. You must get removal
certificate from either the Board of
Elec ion Supervisors or the Board Of
Registry. The last day of the sitting.
October II, is not for registration,
but for revision. So remember
the dates-October 3rd and October
10th, ls99-and be sure to register
and see that every Democrat in
your district or any other that you
know of is informed of the facts and is
registered. BY attending to the proper
and complete registration of all new
voters, you do that much for the sue
cess Of your party this fall and share
accordingly in the glory Of victory,
which must crown our efforts if all
Democrats join hands for the common
cause and stand shoulder to shoulder
in the great fight now before us.

To the Democrats ofMaryland.

On the seventh day OF next Novelu-
Der the people of Maryland will have
an opportunity to choose their Govern.
or and other State and county officers.
Whether or not the present administra-
ton OF affairs in this State, with its
record as current history known to all
men, and with the opportunities of a
retention Of power, shall be continued,
Is the question that is brought face to
face to every voter.
That it is the duty ofeyery citizen OF
this State to exercise the right Of fran
chise is truth that cannot be too fe-
quently reiterated That many of
those best qualified by education,
knowledge aud experience for an in
telligent exercise ofthis right are those
most prone to neglect it is a fAt THAI
calls forth this appeal to every man
who believes in efficient public SER
wants and homes and capable conduct
OF affairs, to lay aside-sacrifce if need
be-his personal interests for few
hours aud devote that time to the ser
vice OF his county and State.
Prior to the exercise of this high
right of citizenship, registration is
necessary. In the counties of this
State there is no general registration
this year, but for the purpose of supple
mentary registration the registers will
sit in the several election precincts Of
your county on
TUESDAY, October 3, from a. m. to
p. m. and
TUESDAY, October 10, duril g the
same hours
For the purpose of revision only, at
which date no new names will be ad-
ded, they will sit on TUESDAY, De-
toher II. Remember these dates.
Not only is it the duty Of every citi-
zen to register himself and, through
the resul1r channels of his party, to
see that his friends and neighbors are
registered, but il is likewise his duty
to see that the lists are purged of all
names that by reason of death, removal,
crime, lllegslity or fraud should be
stricken therefrom.
Let every Democrat interest himself
in this important matter and the cause
of good government so auspiciously in
agurated in the city Of Baltimore in
May will be continued in the State in
November.

How to Destroy the Trusts.

Since the beginning of the recent
age of large combinations of capital
and trusts, for which the Republican
| party stands responsible in the eyes of
the W rid, we have seen many ideas on
/ the subject of combined and individual
oppOs ton to them; also suggestions
/ that congress pass laws to restrict thu Sc
/ grinding monopolies from further ply
( ing their nefarious occupation. In
j certain States we hear of laws that are
/ Intended TO operate against trusts and
in all parts of the land politicians and
orators denounce these commercial
monsters IN language fierce and fluent.
But IN few cases have we seen an ad :
quate remedy suggested. All know
and see the evil fruits of Republican
protection aud can well put the proper
blame where it is due. The only sure
and just way ofdealiug with trusts is
not TO deal with them in their business
capacity by trying to restrict their
trade or territory by laws either State
or national, but to change by legisla-
tive action the tariff laws of our coun-
try. There is the truth in nutshell.
1t is the tariff that enables the trusts
To 20 thrive and grow fat on the profits
they reap from the pockets of the
American people by reason of the re-
strictions imposed upon other nations
in their dealings with us. 1t has been
proven that with all things equal, the
United States can compete with any
Won in the world in her raw aud
manufactured products. This was
shown efire the protective tariff law
went into effect, Now all the goods
the trusts produce are heavily protected
against foreign competition by large
duties, up 10 which protective figure
home concerns can charge without
fear of competition. Tie home mar
ket is controlled by them and they
fear no other
The Republican party laid great stress
up II what they called "Infaut Indus
tries' during the campaigns Of 1855 and
1892 and a protective tariff wa, iusti-
tuted in their behalf 1t is wrong, we
claim, to further protect these same in
dustres noN that they have aim st out
grown the country viii Ii fostered them
and have lie ONE menace to both lair
competition and consumers # their pro-
duets.
Let the people resolve TO change this
$ ste.". 1t is certaiuly class legisla
ton, to which all Democrats are op-
posed. There will b. no difficulty in
gazing recruits to tue good cause of
Tariff for Revenue Ouly" and such a
! policy will surely be successful. Not
much is being said these DAYS about
the tariff, but it certainly is a factor that
once properly taken into consideration
will b Up produce the effect we all de,
4 sire. There must be an end to "High
Protective Tariff

Nominate a Good Ticket and Vic
tory Is Certain.

1t il gratifying to state that now, if
at no other time in its history, the
Democrats of Frederick county are de-
teTmined to get together and win The
| fight this fall. All signs pint to this
desirable end. Returns from every
district in the county show that more
/ enthusiasm and genuine party feeling
exists to-day than for many years past.
In fact the interest in the primary for
Frederick district and the large crowd
! present. has not BEEN surpassed in
twenty campaigns. Something surely
| i. Indicated by this immunity of feel.
ing and expression and added to this,
is the uncertain and unanimity IL
dition of the Republican larty. Loud
denunciations are heard on every hand
of the recent proceedings OF their
County Convention. where the "mys-
FERROUS fifteenp worked the downfall
of several candidates who had assur-
ances of reasonable support. Such
cannot be said of the convention that
will be held tomorrow. All through
the preparatory stages and even now,
on the very eve of the decisive action
Of the delegates, every professed eau
didate has had fair show and no ill.,
tlmidation or any attempt made by the
party leaders to thwart the ambition Of
any man who aspires to office. All
will 90 before the convention with an
equal Chance, 50 far as any action on
the part of the managers has tended to
enhance or detract from it. The party
demands good, clean and representa-
tive ticket and it is the duty Of every
delegate to labor with that eud in view.
No other course will receive the COM
mendalion of the people and no com.
promised candidate can hope to secure
the support of the party. The duty of
the convention is plainly to select the
best possible ticket available. No one
can say that any candidate has the
promise or support of the party leaders
for any place on the ticket aud The
choice is alone in he hauds of the del
egates 10 the convention whom the co.
pie 10 X to to carry out their wish,s.
With such chance before the party
i'll this county to elect IA majority, if
not ali Of the ticket this fall, we trust
the convention will measure iu every
respect up to the high ,tandard de-
sired aud that men capable aud worthy
of the united support Of the people Will
be selected 10 occupy the important
position TO be filed at Tie coming ell, c.
ton. The CITIZEN pledges its earnest
support to the nominees Of the conven.
ton and asks all Democrats TO join in
the cause against the common enemy
for the best inter, st of the parry and
The commonwealth.
