Friday Maraiag, March 28,1890. Canners Protest Against the Proposed Tin-Plate Increase. Last Saturday Messrs. J. W. Numsen, A. K. Shriver and R.T. Smith, representing the canners of Maryland, appeared before the ways and means committee of Congress and protested against the proposed increase of duty on tin-plate. They were informed that there was but a slight prospect of the bill being changed in that respect. Mr. Shriver said he represented the Can ned Goods Exchange of Baltimore and about 400 canning establishments in Maryland. He proceeded to show that several thousand persons are employed in that industry, and that 150,000,000 cans of frnit, vegetables and oysters are pat up annually in various parts of the State. He produced figures to show that the canning industry amounts to about $20,000,000 per annum, in which $12,000,000 worth of tin is used. Under the present rate of duty Maryland canning establishments pay about SBOO,OOO yearly into the treasury of the United States in taxes on tin. If the pro posed increase is sustained that amount will be swelled to about $1,500,000. Mr. Bayne, of the committee, said that in the course of a year or two tin-plate would be manufactured in this country in a great abundance for domestic consumption and at price that would compare favorably with the present price paid for imported tin-plate. He added that thirty thousand men would be given employment and the country would save the $20,000,000 now sent out of the country to pay for English tin. If Mr. Bayne’s prediction should come true, of which there are serious doubts, who would profit by the amount saved Not the canners nor the consumers of canned goods. The entire sum would go into the hands of the gentlemen who propose to experiment in the manufacture of tin-plate at the ex pense of other people. Let them first estab lish their works and demonstrate that tin plate can be produced as cheaply here as abroad. Then they will have some grounds upon which to ask for protection. They do not promise to give canners cheaper tin, but only say that their prices will “compare fa vorably” with the present prices. The proposed increase is nothing more or less than an extortion imposed upon one of the most important industries of Mary land, tending still farther to depress it and lessen its profits. It affects, also, millions of consumers, who would be required to pay more for their canned goods in order that one or two firms may be able to carry on their business at a profit. This is but a sample of the workings of the Republican tariff bill now before Congress. The Philadelphia Tima says: If tin-plate cannot be manufactured in this country with a tax of Si% per cent, on con sumers, it should not be manufactured.at ail. In point of fact it could be made here now at a fair profit, but that industry has been delayed sole ly to compel such increased taxes upon the peo ple as would establish a complete tin-plate mo nopoly and the whole battle now is for mono poly and greed against the hundreds of thou sands of farmers who grow vegetables and fruits for canning and are general consumers of tin and the nearly 800,000 of American working men now employed in the tin industries. The Resources of Maryland. One of the most interesting and valuable documents lately issued in this Slate is that of J. Thomas Scharf, LL. D., Commissioner of the Land Office. In the Land Office are preserved important records, documents, maps aud other valuable papers collected by the Province and State since 1680, including extracts from deeds, fur nished by clerks ot court in each county, to which reference could be made if the original records were destroyed. Dr. Scharf has established, in the Land Office, a Slate Museum, in which there is al ready a collection oi over 500 stuffed and mounted Maryland birds and animals, speci mens of our building stone, mar], sands, clays, cereals, geological specimens, &c., which illustrate the valuable minerals and ores of the State. There is also a collection of Indian antiquities. Dr. Scharf has likewise done good service to the State by publishing interesting papers on the soil, climate and other farming advant ages of Maryland. The pamphlet containing this information has been largely circulated. Ad appendix to the report contains a series of articles descriptive of the resources of the different counties. Of Harford the report says “The soil varies from light loam to heavy clay, and is easily improved and very productive. The land is for the most part arable and undu lating and highly improved. For farming pur poses the price varies from ten to a hundred dollars per acre. The chief products are corn, wheat, oats, bay, tomatoes and small fruits and vegetables. Stock raising and grazing and the making and sale of butter and milk are grow ing industries. Since the opening of the Mary land Central Railroad, the development of the milk trade has been very rapid. Over this road are nowshipped 1,500 gallons of milk daily. Most of the farmers ar Industrious and thrifty. As a result they have improved their stock of horses, cattle, sheep and swine by crossing with the best strains of each, and now use labor-saving machinery of the most approved patterns. “The estimated annual amount of the general mercantile business transacted in the larger towns gives to Abingdon, $15,000 Aberdeen, $75,000 Bel Air, $500,000 Chnrchville, $30,- 000; Darlington, $35,000 Dublin, $80,000; Falls ton, $80,000; Forest Hill, $35,000 Havre de Grace, $1,000,000 Jarrettaville. SIO,OOO Level, $20,000 Norrisville, SIO,OOO, and Perryman, $60,000. Other towns would swell the aggre gate to two million dollars. “There are few counties that posses superior transportation facilities to those of Harford.* The protected road from Bel Air to the Susque hanna river, when completed, will furnish all the facilities desired. During the last twenty years there has been a marked improvement in the farms and buildings and the wealth and comforts of the inhabitants—attractions that catch the eye of strangers and cause many of them to remain in the county, which Is regard ed as one of the most progressive and prosper ous in the State.” The report estimates that there are 15,000 acres of tide marsh in Harford, no attempts having been made to reclaim any of it. The Chnrchville and Bel Air Road. The petitions in circulation praying the County Commissioners to make some per manent improvement on the toad leading from Cburchville to Bel Air have been signed by a large number of taxpayers and other citizens. Tbe road has been in a deplorable condition—in fact almost impassable in places tbe entire winter. It is one of the most pub lic thoroughfares in the county, and to this fact, in addition to the unusual amount of raio, is due its miserable condition. Under any circumstances a considerable amount of money must be spent to make It passable, and it is suggested, with reason, that certain places in tbe road which are quagmires every winter and spring, could with economy be macadamized. By a little work of this kind every year for a few years, this road could be put in a con dition to be accepted when the op portunity offers, by the trustees of the Woolsey bequest. This once accom lished tbe County Commissioners would re ceive SIO,OOO, and with this sum in hand tbe county would not be called upon for any further aid in macadamizing tbe other roads named in Mr. Woolsey’s will. This road is used by a large number of cit izens in all of the districts except the fourth, and more than one-half of the county is in terested in it. The petitions will be present ed to the County Commissioners next Mon day. —Mr. William M. Marine, the newly ap pointed collector of tbe port of Baltimore, took charge of tbe office on Monday.

On Wednesday morning the good people of Bel Air were grieved to hear Hint State Treasurer Archer was critically ill at his home, near the tow n. His physician, Dr. Hollingsworth, said he was suf fering with congestion of the brain and that his condition was very critical. His son-in-law, Senator Benjamin Silver, was summoned by telegraph ou Wednesday. All day long H tzel Dell, his residence, was be sieged by anxious callers, hut no change for the better was reported until after nightfall. The air, besides, was filled with painful rumors and the popular excitement was subdued hut intense. Early Thursday morning the rumors assumed more definite shape and the city papers w ere eager ly seized us soon as the mail arrived. The shock which followed the announcement they contained with reference to Mr. Archer’s management of the State finances, was painful in the extreme. GOV. JACKSON’S MESSAGE. On Wednesday night, at 10.30 o’clock. Governor Jackson sent the following message to the Legisla ture Annapolis, March Z 6, 1890.—Gentlemen of the Slate Senate of Maryland On Monday evening, 241 h instant, I received from the Comptroller of the Treasury a communication as follows: “Frederick March 23,1890.—His Excellency E E. Jackeon— Dear Sir: It becomes my painful duty to inform you that information reached me in Frederick on Saturday evening last which con vinces me that there has been a misappropriation of the Stale securities in the bands of State Treasurer Stevenson Archer. I believe that at least two of the banks of Baltimore City hold notes of Mr. Archer, secured by bonds of the kind belonging to the State sinking fund, one being secured by Piedmont and Cumberland bonds, another by Treasury relief bonds, and that another Joan was negotiated by Mr. Archer and Frederick City bonds were deposited as col lateral, bearing the samenumbers as someof the bonds belonging to the State sinking fund. The gravity of this information is such that it be comes imperative upon me to communicate it to you at once, in order that an immediate investi gation of the accounts of the State Treasurer may be made, and such further action taken as may be necessary to protect the State’s interest. I am very respectfully, “L. Victor Baughman, Comptroller.” As soon as this letter reached me I endeavored to communicate with the Treasurer, but I have been unable to do so, and it has been reported to mo that ho is critically 111 at his home in Bel Air. I feel it my duty without further delay to make known to you the information conveyed to me by the Comptroller, that your honorable body may take prompt action to Investigate the affairs of the office of the Treasurer and ascer tain whoter the State securities are intact or not. I have the honor, &c., Elihu E. Jackson, Governor. An investigation was immediately ordered by the Legislature, and both Houses at once adjourned. A SENSATION IN THE LEGISLATURE. “The scenes in the General Assembly last night, says the Herald, “when the Governor’s message on the subject was read, were without precedeut in their dramatic force and intensity. Strong men weeping over such a revelation coming like a thunderclap from a clear sky, was certainly a spectacle that has been rarely witnessed in the Captol of any State. It bore a striking testi mony to the high esteem in which Mr. Archer was held by his associates and friends in official life.” The Baltimore Sun says Gov. Jackson and Comptroller Baughman re mained at the Executive Mansion. Both wore visibly affected. The comptroller paced the floor and wrung his hands, and ho could not con tra! his feelings enough to give a clear state ment. It was his discovery of the hypothecation of securities held by the State that led to the dis closures, and it was his letter that Gov. Jackson used as the basis for the message to the Logisla lature. WHAT THE GOVERNOR BATB. Governor Jackson “It was one of the great est surprises that has ever fallen upon me. My confidence and respect for Mr. Archer were sin cere, and I often consulted with him upon the most confidential subjects. I have had nearly sleepless nights since this unfortunate affair was disclosed to me. I have always been opposed to the investment of money for sinking funds in other than securities of the State, as Is allowed by the act of 1884. Such securities cannot be canceled, and they remain in the sinking fund to be used, perhaps, as some of them may have been. The notes referred to by Col. Baughman are for 52,000 and $2,700 respectively. The bond of the State Treasurer is $200,000. His sureties are Murray Vandiver, Edwin U. Webster, Joseph M. Streett, Henry W. Archer, Jr., S. A. Williams, Allen Hoffman, J. Thomas C. Hopkins and Patrick Howard. Mr. Archer’s condition, at last accounts, was somewhat improved, but he is still considered tc be very ill. No one except his physician and fami ly is permitted to see him. Mr. Archer's popularity and influence in Harford have been unbounded and the expression of sym pathy for lain is universal and sincere. Letter from Jarrettsville. Reported for The 2Egis. March 34. —Mr. William Dowling is digging a well for Mr. Henry Horn. Mr. J. Mulligan it also digging a well at his house, on the north side of the ridge. Mr. Philip Spencer has his ice-house fillet with ice. Mr. N. O. Stokes is about to put rollers it his mill. M. Life is too Short and lime and money too precious, to lie fritterec away in the trial of uncertain means of cure, whet one is afflicted with any lingering or chronic ail meat of the liver, lungs or blood. Now, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is such a positive remedy for all such ills, as to warrant its maniifac timers in selling it. as they are doing, through drug gists, on condition that if they don't do all that il is recommended to. the money paid for it will Ik promptly refunded. There are a great many blood purifiers advertised, hut only the "Golden Medi cal Discovery” of Dr. Pierce could sustain itsell and be sold, under such trying conditions. To sel any ordinary medicine under such a guarantee would bankrupt its proprietors, hut with M# “Golden Medical Discovery” ail that Is asked foi it is a fair trial, and if it don’t do all that it is ad vertised to, the manufacturers will cheerfully and promptly refund all money paid for it. By the singularly peculiar method of business, alke liberal to the purchasers and exacting to the raaufacturers the invalid can be sure of getting the value of hit money, which is not true of any other medicine.- All diseases arising from a torpid liver, or from impure or poisoned blood, are conquered by the "Golden Medical Discovery.” Especially has il manifested its marvelous potency in curing Salt rheum, Tetter. Eczema. Psoriasis, Imperligo, Ery sipelas. and all skin ami scalp diseases, no matter, of how long standing. Scrofulous affections, sores ami swellings, as Fever-sores.

A Properly Planted and Cared-tor Hedge is the Cheapest, Best and Pret tiest Fence in the World, We claim the following advantages for our Hedge It is the cheapest fence made. It is the most lasting. Winds do not blow it down.— Floods do not wash it away. It does not decay. Stock cannot rub it down. It protects itself. It stops sheep dogs and trespassers. It takes but little room. You can cultivate close to It. It lasts for generations. No new material needed for repairs. It is ornamental to the farm. It is mule high, bull strong and pig tight. The farmer prepares the ground and works the plants as he weuld corn. We do the rest and guarantee a good fence, keeping it in order for you afterwards at a trifling cost. Osage Orange Hedge Fences are no experi ment. There are many hedges In Pennsylvania and Maryland which were planted 75 years ago and show no signs of decay. Figure up the cost of a post and rail fence, estimating its dura tion, and contrast it with the prettier and more durable fence we will give you, at only (1.25 a rod and you will readily see which is the cheap er. The easy terms of payment we offer are an other great advantage. Twenty-five cents per Rod at the time of setting the plants, 25 cents per Rod when re-setting Is done In 1891, 25 cents per Rod when re-setting or side-trimming is done In 1892. and 50 cents per Rod when and in proportion as the plashing is done.
