Mr.. WAKEFIELD, who, in his speeches, is dis.
grazing himself and his campaign by his ever
lasting harping upon the "nigger" question,
said, in number of bis Southern MARYLAND
speeches, that trusted colored man had entire
charge Of his farm in HoDard county whiEe he
a1oay canlpaigning and that he felt no .fea,
for his rife and family during his absence How
a man can make such statement as this in
one section of the State and in another try to
incite the people against the alleged dangers of
NEGRO domination" is something that honest
men of all parties find impossible to reconcile.

Honest people only hope for free election
and fair count. Under the present wretched
law free election is an impossibility, but a
fair count is possible and the Republican cleo
ton officers should keep a sharp lookout to
prevent trickery. That it will be attempted
there can be no doubt and warning before
hand may put check on some of it.

MR.. WAKEFIELD AND MR.. eoRMAN.

Mr.. Warfield insists that the offices he has
held (and they have been numerous and long
continuing) came not by the grace of Mr..
German, but from the people. 1t will be hard
to make this pass with the public. For years
and years Mr.. Warfield has been associated
with the ring certainly as one with it, and
never kicker against its ends or its methods
In his county and in his time no man in his
party could draw his breath in politics save by
permission of Mr.. German. This is matter
of public notorety to which no testimony is
needed.
Coming down to later days does any man IN
Maryland believe that Mr.. Warield is today
the candidate of the Democratic party by any
other agency except the express authority ana
permission of Mr.. German? Does Mr.. War
field give credence to the good faith of Col.
Jones' candidacy? Is there anyone outside OF
an insane asylum who sees in it aught else
than a theatrical display of pretended con-
test? Would Mr.. Warfield say in absolute
candor that he could have been the nominee
of his party if, upon the Maryland Senator'S
return from abroad that eminent statesman
had opposed it by whisper, or even by
wink? Mr. Warfeld is not credulous man !;
he has had experience with men and in politi-
cal life, but does he expect the people to swal-
low bis romance about Mr.. German endorsing
him for Surveyor of the Port of Baltimore,
only as other citizens endorsed him? Why,
it is history that at the time he was appointed
Mr. German dispensed all the Federal patron
age in this State. Then why was Mr. War
field given this important and lucrative postP
S. Tackle Wallis answered this question years

''Be careful NOT to vote for CHARLES H.
KNOX, Independent Democratic. 1t May

object of this trick is too transparent to need
explanation. Is there anything in the shape
of downright baseness that the Democratic
managers will not resort to?
The DEMOCRATIC stump. speakers in Balti-
more county never tire of holding up to their
audiences the danger Of negro domination"
the 'nigger" vote, etc., but they are never
heard to say word in condemnation of their
own party for making use of this same
''nigger" vote in Baltimore and also in this
county whenever they can capture it. The
notorious Tom" Smith is among the 'nigger"
saloon-keepers in Baltimore who can procure
license from the Democratic Liquor License
Commissioners for a dozen low dives if he
wants them, and does actually conduct num-
Der, all of which are headquarters for the
'nigger" Democrats of their respective locali-
ties. The ''nigger" is all right when he's
Democrat, but something awful when he's
Republican.

platform promises of the Republicans are clear
and unmistakable. They demand an election
law that will give people chance to express
their opinion and to have that opinion honestly
recorded after it is expressed. Fair.minded
people ask for nothing more; they will not be
satisfied with anything less.

and other countries and a very strong
general lower tariff and reciprocity
resolution, offered by Mr.. o. w
Johnson of Racine, Wis. After recit-
ing the need of lower tariffs and as
sorting that reciprocity is the true
means of tariff revision, the John
son resolution concludes as follows:
whereas, 1t would now appear as
though the high protective duties had
to a large extent accomplished their
purpose in development and that a
more moderate tariff should now sui
fee to maintain our industrial suprem-
acy and that reasonable concessions
can safely be made with a view OF
augmenting and extending our foreign
trade; therefore, be it
"Resolved, That we urge upon con-
gress the faithful performance not
only of the repeatedly expressed, but
the implied promises contained in the
republican platforms and the utter
ances of the republican leaders who
have favored reciprocity by ratifying
treaties already before them, and
thus encouraging the negotiation of
other treaties equolly desirable, and
to carry out the policy of our late la
mented president, the Honorable Will
liam Mckinley, who so ably advocat-
ed the principles of reciprocity in his
last public address,"
When manufacturers, protected man
ufacturers, adopt such a resolution
with only two negative votes in a
large convention, what can the repub
lican leaders expect Of the consul

NOT STANDING PAT.

1t is extremely doubtful whether re-
publican leaders appreciate how
general is becoming the conviction
that the high tariff age for the Unit
ed States has passed, and that the
time has come when the interests of
the people demand a lower tariff, says
the Minneapolis Journal. a staunch
republican paper Everywhere you
can find manufacturers expressing
themselves as favOring a reduction
in the tariff-the very same men who
thought a few years ago that it
could never be made high enough
They want to sell their goods in for.
eign markets. and they are satisfied
that if they can compete there with
foreign goods they need not have
any great fear of losing the home
market.
If the republican leaders are fol
lowing the reports Of the numerous
associations of manufacturers that
are declaring in favor of genuine reel
procity, they cannot long maintain
their stand-pat policy without secret
misgivings as to its wisdom and It's
outcome. AS a sample, take the Ma

NEAT TRUSTS DOUBLE SQUEEZE

Prosperity is a plant which does
not bloom fast enough to suit the
meat trust. That gentlemanly com
bine" of extortionists has devised a
scheme to force the Towering pro-
cess. The interesting story of the
methods adopted is told by figures
from Omaha.
For beef steers the trust pays the
producers 25 per cent less than last
year, while charging 10 per cent. more
to its customers. Profit to the trust
increased by 50 per cent
For pork the packers pay 40 per
cent less than last year and charge
Is per cent. more Increased profit,
55 per cent
The producers of meat stock must
sell They cannot afford to hold and
feed The trust is their only sufficient
customer ION the spot What are
they and the consumers going to do
about it? In the presence of the power
which can force this double squeeze
it is to be seen that enforcement of
the law against railway rebates is
but small part of a necessary cam
paign.
