Have the Advantage OF Having His
Goods Advertised IS "Imported."

sumed its hearings On Cuba reciproc-
ity with special reference to the pro-
posed reduction on Cuban tobacco.

r. Young, presiSent Of the National
Leaf Tobacco association, made an
earnest plea against any tobacco con-
eessions to Cuba. lie said there un-
doubtedly was a public sentiment in
favor of granting 'eiief to Cuba, but
he contended that we should be as
Just to the people IT our own country
as to the people Of foreign countries.
The purpose of the movement for
reciprocity, he said, was to have the
whole expense Of Cuba's relief fall
on two American Observation-Disclosures
and sugar. As TO cigars. Mr.. Young
declared that the proposed conces-
sions would 4wipe eat the American
made ten-cent cigar" The Cuban
cigar maker would lay down a cigar
here for less than the American hah-
ufacturer receives for his high-grade
goods and the Cuban would have the
advantage of having his goods adeer-
tised as imported cigars." This, Mr..
Young said, would secure for Cuba the
entire American market for all goods
above five cen
Representatives Richardson, q Ten
nessee, asked II the price Of cigars
would be reduced to the cigar smoker,
Mr.. Young said the price would be re-
duced but he did not believe the con-
sumer would ask this reduction a
the expense Of the American indus
try. J. Wertheim, of New York, head

Pages Brilliant Campaign.

Mr.. William Tyler Page, the McComas
nominee for Congress, several weeks ago, dis
tributed toothpicks, dis6gured with his picture
and the words "My pick for Congress. " On
Tuesday night, pipes were distributed, on tie
stems of which were printed the words "Smoke
and vote for Page" At the same meeting a
number of "yaller" dogs were distributed.
On the collar of each dog we're the words 1--WE
cannot Vote, but we can bark for William
Tyler Page And then a number of leaflets
were distributed, with some puns on the name
of Page. Mr. Page, no doubt, thinks he is
conducting brilliant campaign, but he has
low estimate of the intelligence of the voters
of the second congressional district, if he
thinks they can be influenced by toothpicks,
barking dogs and puns. The dog, however,
is not so bad. 1t is rather emblematical OF
the convention that accepted Page as the can
didate and nominated him at the dictation of
McComas. Other names were proposed for
nominee, but every suggestion was met with
"McComas wants Page" and the delegates
meekly nominated him. Not delegate from
two of the three counties OF the district had
ever heard of him before, nor had the party
leaders in those two counties. And the dele
gates from Baltimore county had never heard
of Mr. Page as congressional aspirant until
his name was sprung upon them an hour be-
fore the nominating convention was held.
McComas selected Page and Blakeney pre-
tended to be candidate and secured dele
gates he could hand over to McComas candi-
date There was objection from some of the
delegates, but the answer to the suggestion of
the names of DR.. Weaver and Judge Reifsni-
der, of Carroll, and Mr.. Dalam, of Hartford,
"McComas wants Page, carried the day for
Page So the dog is not SO inappropriate as
a souvenier of the Page campaign.

The First Congressional District

Hon. William Fl. jackson, the Republican
nominee for Congress in the Eastern Shore
district, bought his election to Congress two
wears ago. Bribery in that district has been
notorious for some six or eight years past,
and the Democrats this year have made
move to have square election on the merits
of the principles Of party. Hon.. Z. Ellie
good the Democratic nominee, inaugurated
the movement He made an appeal TO Mr..
jackson on the matter, and as was to be ex-
pected, Mr.. jackson has declined to give any
assurance he will not endeavor to buy his
election again. In his reply, while not doubt
ing the sincerity and honesty of purpose OF
Mr.. Ellegood, he pretends to doubt the sin
cerity of the Democratic party.
The first district is naturally Democratic.
1t gave Or. Herring for Comptroller last year
over 5000 majority. But money is apowerful
factor in elections Mr.. Jackson knows this,
as he has tried it, and he would not have ac-
cepted denomination except for the hope ne
had in the power of his money TO again over
come the natural Democratic majority. So
while Mr.. Ellegood is appealing to the homes
ty and patriotism ofthe voters, and endeavor-
ing to arouse interest in Democratic prlre1-
ples. and to show the evils to result from a
further continuance of Republicans in power,
Mr.. Jackson will be trying to debauch the
people with tempting offers of money.
The Democrats Of the district should en-
deayor to hold their own, aud lay down dol
lar for dollar with Mr.. Jackson. They have
a right to protect their party in that way, and
they should make Mr.. jackson spend his dol
lars in holding his black contingent, constltu-
ting three-fourths Of the Republican party IN
the district.
When honesty in elections is spurned by
the Republican candidate, it is useless for
the Democrats to stand idly by and see
the district bought away from them The
district is entitled to Democratic represent
tative in Congress, and the Democrats VIII
err if they do not elect one. They do not
have TO bride voters TO accomplish this They
simply have to protect their own voters ana
make Mr.. Jackson spend his corruption fund
upon his voters. There is nothing dis
honest in this, nothing unpatriotic. And the
Democratic leaders in the nine counties OF
the district should not hesitate moment TO
use every means to defeat Mr.. jackson and
elect Mr.. Ellegood. When the Devil comes
at you with fire. fight him with fire. Mr.. Jack
sons party, including the whites, represents
nothing in most of the district, and Mr. Jack
son, himself, represents nothing but an ambi-
ton to go to Congress and large bank &C.
count to be used to crafty his ambition at the
cost of debauching voters.
