THE DEATH OF GEORGE G. NOR
RISON.

The death by suicide of this great
gentleman was great surprise and
shock to Baltimore, and to the peo-
pie of the State at large. He was
well known in business and political
circles, and was considered one of
Baltimore's most estimable citizens.
He was what you would call well
balanced man, of remarkable equi-
poise, and would have been one of
the last persons you would suppose
as contemplating suicide and finally
carrying the rash purpose to execu-
ton.
But this il just what this even
tempered man did on Monday night
last at the Athletic Club. His death
was by inhaling Illuminating gas. He
left several notes, but none Of them
gave any special clue to his rash act,
Except the sensitiyeness which he
felt in the association of his name
in the public press with the disrepu-

now going On at Havre dc Grace
and which is really disgrace to the
State.
There was nothing, however, in
this matter that touched MIR. Nor
rison in any dishonorable way, and
therefore, does not account for his
suicide. His whole nervous system
must have been from some cause OF
other, overwork or overworry, com
pletely undermined, and then in that
condition to have what his morbid
imagination wrought UP. into great
scandal, thus blasting hi prospects
as he supposed, brought him to the
desperate act of taking his own life
And we express sorrow at the re-
moval from the field Of usefulness o.
this excellent man.

THE FARMER AND THE PROTEO-
TIVE (?) TARIFF,

For publicity and terseness the fol-
lowing from the Hampstead ENTER
prise" a. to how the farmer il affect
ed by q protective d.? tariff cannot
be excelled
If there is farmer on earth who
can tell Is what good the protective
tariff does him, W. would like to hear
from him. we import none Of his
products, but export millions of dol
lars worth every year; we import no
farm machinery but export millions
Of dollars worth every year and the
farmer in the Argentine Republic, in
South Africa, in France and in almost
every other foreign country, buys
American manufactured machinery
for less money than our American
farmers pay for it. The protective
tariff has never benefited the farmer
nor the laborer. Manufacturers can
certainly sell goods a. cheap here at
home as they can ship it three or four

them to charge what they please at
home. And, If you want to see how
the tariff protects American labor go
into our mills and factories and try
to talk to the operatives. You can't
Go it for they are mostly imported
foreigners who can not speak the
English language, and who work for
a mere pittance.

Wilson never said any such thing.
In the first place he never wrote a
letter of acceptance, he accepted his
nomination in speech in which we
find H. said this $50
1.-THE Nation IL a nation has grown
immensely rich. She is justly proud
of her industries and of the genius of
her men of affairs. They can master
anything they st their minds to, and
we have been greatly stimulated IN

green. we must accord them thu

to find ourselves growing poorer, ev-

we can push our earnings up"
The i'll advised attempt of the
Sentinel" to make political capital
out of detached and misstated para
graph from Gov Wilson's speech or
acceptance is the kind Of campaign
argument none but an amateur would
indulge in.

A NUT FOR THE SENTINEL" TO
CRACK

we regret that the Oakland Wooden
Mfg. Company, one Of the largest in
dustries in our county, upon which
upward of 400 men, women and child
rem were directly and indirectly de-
pendent for support, closed its Mills
on the 5th inst.
AS to the cause for this action we
are not informed; perhaps the Editor
or the Sentinel" can enlighten u
upon this point, as it occurred under
a Republican administration and the
operation of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. Shade of Adam Smith ! deliver

us.

A FAULTY COMPARISON.

That agricultural implements, sew
ing machines, as well as almost ev-
erything else that is manufactured in
the United States for which there is
foreign demand il sold cheaper
abroad than at home il a well known
fact. The Sentinel" in extenuation
of this unjust discrimination against
our home people, cites the case of
the Merchant who offers at stated
periods of the year, for one reason or
another, his surplus stock at a large
reduction in price.
The cases are entirely dissimilar.
1T should be noted that it is high
tariff that enables the various trusts
to unfairly discriminate against our
home people, while the Merchant j.
In no sense benefited by the tariff,
but on the contrary his trade is much
curtailed by it because of high prices
which the tariff encourages. More
over, the Merchant does not discrimi-
nate against his home people, but
offers them the option of reduced
prices which the Manufacturer re-
serves for foreign customers. The
comparison il most inapt one and
cannot in any way be made to serve
the contention of our neighbor.
The most plausible reason we have
ever heard advanced for this dis
elimination upon the part Of the
Manufacturer against the domestic
buyer is that it is his surplus pro-
duct, i'm other words more than the
American market requires, which lie
sells abroad at an alleged loss and
which he produces for the purpose OF
keeping his factory in continuous
operation and for the retention and
benefit OF his employees, This com
ing from such source is much toe
altruistic to be true, but even though
it were true, lowering the tariff 70 a
revenue basis would be an effective
remedy, as it would widen the for
eign markets for his products anG
make profitable an exchange for the
products of other nations; now large
ly prevented by tariff which in most
instances is prohibitive. Such barter
could reasonably be expected to re,
act and lessen the cost Of most manu-
features to the American consumer
thus benefitting him that gives, anG
him that takes"
