The IEGIs is the oldest established
newspaper i'll Hartford county. 1t has a
larger circulation among intelligent farm,
ers, Gamers and other business men than
any other newspaper published in the
county. These facts make it a valuable
advertising medium for reaching ali
classes.

had been successful since the war.
Let us examine into the fact of
tariff changes on business and
politics. The Mckinley tariff raised
the duties in 1890 and the following
year was unsatisfactory to all
business men. During the next two
or three years there was much COM
plant in the wooden and cotton in
dustries, and the report of the New
York Chamber of Commerce pointed
out the fact that raising the tariff
could not be depended upon to make
business good. The Republicans lost
the Congressional elections Of 1890
and 1892. The factories of Massa-
chusetts employed more persons
every month from November 1892 to
June 1893 than in the corresponding
months of the year before, so that
the Democratic success evidently did
not check business. The Wilson
tariff was passed in 1894 and in the
following spring there was a marked
and general revival of business and
wages were increased. This extern
sive revival of business shortly after
the enactment of the Wilson tariff
law is a significant fact. 1t shows
that true prosperity does notrequire
any artificial means to keepit going.
The natural causes of demand and
supply will always govern the con-
sumption of any commodity.
1t seems to be an unfortunate fact
that the Republicans and some ofthe
Democrats too, seem to regard our
party as drawing its life from mis-
fortune. The record of the Demo-
cratic party, from the time OF
Thomas Jefferson, brands the false
ness as history will show. The
greatest misfortune that we labor
under is the fact that our own peo-
pie are too prone to desert the stand
ard at critical times and thus allow
an aggressive foe, which owes it's
birth and succor to artificial stimu-
Tents, to creep in. The Democratic
party is the party of the people, for
the people and a government by the
people.
THE CRAWFORD COUNTY SYSTEM.
Mr.. William F. Porter, one of the
members of the Board of Election
Supervisors Of Baltimore City, re-
Gently stated in an interview that he
regarded the primary election law in
Baltimore City as no longer an ex-
pertinent but proved innovation,
which has come to stay. Hebelieved
that the law should be modified so
as to abolish the delegate system
and that the direct method ofballot-
ing for candidates should be provid-
ed. This is on the line of the Craw-
ford county system which has been
in vogue in Hartford county for thirty
years with the exception ola short
time when the party returned to the
old convention system. Years of
trial have convinced every one that
it is the best and most satisfactory
method of making nominations.
Since the trial of this system has
proven so satisfactory, the politicians
of both parties in Baltimore county
are agitating the adoption of a
similar method and it is said that the
suggestion meets with much favor.
The greatest objection seems to be
that the thickly populated districts,
near the City, would most likely
dominate the party and the upper end
ofthe county would probably receive
but slight recognition. The whole
