This makes him realize that the
tariff is the cause of the enor-
nous increase in the cost of liv-
ing, which started the moment
the new tariff law became effec-
tive; and he can no longer be
fooled by the talk that the farm
ers are getting his money, be-
cause his friend tells him that
the farmers in Canada get as
much for their foodstuffs, as
the farmers in Michigan.
Golfers recently published an
interesting table showing why
the American family was hav-
ing trouble to make both ends
meet. 1t showed that while
wages had gained only three
per cent since 1905, the price of
all necessary articles of food
and clothing, last year gained
ll.2 per cent and this year gain.
ed over last year ILL., per cent.
Is it any wonder in the light of
these figures that people are
having trouble to live and are
necessarily Disguised with the
Republican party? And in view
of these indisputable facts, the
President has the temerity TO
say that this iniquitous law is a
good one. If this is true, what
would bad one be:
Some people will never be-
lieve a thing which is told them,
if it is against their preconceiv-
ed notion of things, but when
the stomach and till are both
empty, conviction that some
thing is wrong will naturally
come. And we think it has
come to the American people
who are now beginning to real
ize that for fifty years they
have been voting, not for them
selves but for a few men. Claim
ing originally that it was to
protect our infant industries,
and then when they become
large, the working man, the
tariff has through fraud and
chicanery continued to be sus-
tanned by the American people
when the reasons for its exis-
tence no longer prevailed. But
the results of recent elections
show that the people now see
its monumental rascality and
like all other unclean and dis
honest schemes the tariff must
90.

If Governor Crothers thinks
he can please the Baltimore
papers he is badly mistaken.
What the Sun wants the News
doesn't want, and what the
News wants the Sun doesn't
want. If the Sun and the
News both want the same thing
then the American doesn't
want it and works itself up to
a state of frenzy because it is
afraid something will happen
that it can't claim credit for
having originated.
The News tried to name a
Public Utilities Commission for
Governor Crothers. The Sun
also suggested certain gentle
men. 1t looks very much like
the Sun got what it wanted.
The Governor has appointed
Hons. Philip Laird, of Mont
gomery Co.; Walter w. Abel,
of Baltimore; and James Am
bier, of Baltimore. Mr.. Abel is
one of the owners of the Balti.
more Sun. The people of the
State think the appointments
are very good, but the News, of
course, thinks differently. Even
the American compliments the
appointments. But the News
with its fiy-speck soul en-
deavors to belittle the appoint
ments.
Governor Crothers has also
appointed Mr.. John Z. George,
of Queen Anne County, Auto
mobile Commissioner, a new
Office created by the last Legis-
lature. The News tries to smear
it all over this appointment, sim
ply because Mr.. George is a re-
cognized Democratic politician.
If a man is interested in Demo-
cratic politics he is guilty of a
gross crime in the eyes of the
News. Because Mr.. George
won a fight over combination
of ignorant negroes, black re-
publicans and sore-headed
democrats, is enough to forever
blacklist him with the News.
All kinds of dirty things in the
way of combinations were re-
sorted to by the mongrels to
defeat the Democrats in Queen
Anne's last Fall, but John
George, found way to nullify
the negro vote, and he deserves
his reward.

The Tariff Must 60.

Last Tuesday another Demo-
crat was elected to succeed a
Republican Congressman, when
Hon. James s. Ravens, of Ro-
. chester, n. Y, defeated George
w. Aldridge in a special cleo
ton to fill a vacancy caused by
the death of Congressman Per-
kins, who carried the district
two years ago by a majority
of 1O,l67. On Tuesday last
Ravens was elected by a major
ity of 1881, which is a turnover
of abovt IL 900 votes in favor of
the Democrats, and principally
because the Republican party
stands for a high tariff. Wher-
ever the Democrats have put up
a candidate on this issue re-
Gently he has been elected. The
people are terribly in earnest
in their determination to over
throw the Republican party
and high prices.
The tariff is nothing but a
legalized form of robbery, which
view of it was never apprecia-
ted by the wage-earner, until
he discovered that since the
Observation-Disclosures
Bill became a law, he can not
live as well as formerly and
that his wife is having trouble
to get along with her allowance.
If he happens to be living in
Detroit, he is daily exasperated
by the sight of his friend and
fellow workman, who lives
across the line in Canada, still
buying his necessities for the
same price he did a year ago.
