GREAT HIT.
Beachy Bros. have made a great hit by
establishing in Salisbury one of the larg-
est and best hardware stores in Somerset
county. Buyers of Hardware and Agri-
cultural Implements will make a great
hit by patronizing this store, for they
will find that Beachy Bros. will please
them in both goods and prices. They are
in the business to stay and will leave
nothing undone to please their patrons
and give the people what they want in
the hardware line. Their stock is bright
and new and made up of the latest styles
of goods. No shoddy goods will be kept
in stock, but improvements will constant-
ly be added ay fast as American brain and
skill ean invent thew.
DON'T PALL INTO THE GRAVE
error of supposing that you can buy hardware cheaper in other towns than in Salis-
bury, for you can't do it. Neither can:vou buy better goods in the hardware line
than those sold by Beachy Bros. Our goods are all new and the best that the mark-
et affords or ready money can buy. We want to
PAINT THE EARTH RED
with the statement that we will not be undersold. We will sell you the best goods
at the lowest living prices. and we invite you to test us and see if our word is not
good right down to the dotlet on the 1.
We have piles of goods on hand and many more on the road enroute for our store.
Our stock will at all times be complete and embrace everything usually found in a
first-class hardware and implement store.
PREPARE FOR THE INEVITABLE!
Harvest time is approaching and yon may need some new farm machinery. We
cin save you time and money on your purchases and supply your wants speedily
and satisfactorily. But we can not tell vou in print of everything we carry in stock,
for in order to do that we would have to charter this entire paper. But suffice it to
say that onr store will at all times be headquarters for Shelf Hardware of all kinds,
Cutlery, Paints, Oils, Glass, Tinware, Woodenware, Guns, Revolvers, Buggies,
Wagons, Stoves, Ranges, Agricultural Implements of all kinds and jn fact every.
thifig in thie hardware line that there is a demand for in this locality. We will do
our best to please you, dnd we respectfully solicit your patronage. Yours respect-
fully,

EDITORIAL REMARKS,
‘GETTING ready” seems to be the prin-
cipal occupation of the politicians in this
campaign.
A MAN doesn’t have to be ‘‘green” to be
attacked ‘by a cow; else Mr. Gladstone
would have escaped that indignity.
AN identification stamp for marking
children and dudes is the latest fad. A
company makes and sells the stamps.

WHEN one speaks of the efficacy of
the club in politics, itis not always safe
to assume that it is an organization that
is meant.
THAT letter of acceptance narrowly es-
caped a collision with the Sullivan-Cor-

newspapers.

covered before they got through that
8000-word epistle.
SoME men are mean by accident, others
by reason of circumstances beyond their

actually enjoy being mean.

MR. CLEVELAND is going to Illionis
next month to see if he can locate that
Democratic rainbow of which his running
mate talked so much during his visit to
Gray Gables.
Is the old man “bluffing.” or does he
really hold a royal flush? is the prob-
lem that is worrying the sage of Buzzard’s
Bay more than the old question—which
is the best bait?

Mr. Cleveland between the wind and

ing been supposed to have been dropped
from the top of a Hill.
- THE tendency of the times is to soften
harsh names. ‘“‘Cholerine” has been sub-
stituted for cholera, but the old pestilence
Ander its new name retains the deadly
qualities which have made it dreaded ev-
erywhere.
With cost’ of living lower and farm
prices higher than two years ago, as’ ad-
mitted by Democratic Senators Carlisle

ish, indeed, were he to vote against Pro-

THAT North Catvlina Young Men’s
Christian Associaton which tendered a
reception in its rooms to a brutal prize-
fighter must be a queerly constituted or-
ganization. It is creditable to the prize:

he declined.
THERE is not a Democratic editor in
the land from Cape Cod to San Francis-
co, from Lake Itaska to Key West, who
is not today buying the very paper on
which he prints his McKinley prices false-
hoods for less monev than he paid hefore
the McKinley hill was passed. We know
of our own personal knowledge that is
true of the New York dailies—one of
them is saving $60,000 a. year in the fall
of the price of its paper below the new
Tariff was enacted.
The American Protective Tariff league
will pay $1,000 to that Democratic editor
who will show that paper of the quality
and kind used by him to publish his Me-
Kinley prices falsehoods eannot be pur-
chased in the open market from 5 to 40
per cent. cheaper than it cost under the
old tariff. —American Economist,
THE registration of voters in Mississip-
pi under the new constitution shows but
76,742 voters instead of 257,105, which is
the number of males over 21 years of
Lage. This reduction has been accom-
plished by excluding the negro voters.
But Mississippi is still claiming seven
members of Congress and nine electoral
votes. The state is by its voting popula-
tion entitled to two members of Congress
and four electoral votes, and that ques-
tion should be raised when the seven
Congressmen appear in Washington and
the nine electors try to cag their votes
for the Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. The men who framed that new.
constitution in Mississippi said they were
willing to reduce their representation in
Congress to get rid of the negro vote.
They should be compelled to do so, and
have but two seats in the next Congress
of the United States.—Ex.
PARKER GARDNER, a well-known and
“highly respected farmer of Wabash, In-
diana, who resided in Illinois: during the
period of the drafts and relates in an afi: to
Qavit what he personally saw Stevenson
do, as follows:
In the year 1862 1 was & resident of Wilson
township, DeWitt county, Illinois. At that time Jey
I was acquainted with Adalai E. Stevenson,
Democratic candidate for Vice President, he be.
ing a resident of Bloomington, Ill. I stoodin
my own yard in Wilson township early in the
summer of the year aforesaid and saw Stevenson
and James Ewing, present partner of said Steven- ih
son, come on horse-baek off the prairie,and went
to the residence of Mr. Ellsworth, neighbor,
where he sold two revolvers—one for Ellsworth
and the other for his son. Stevenson and Ewing g
then went across to the south side of Salt creek, |
where there was a camp of the ‘Knights of the
Golden Circle,’ and Stevenson there sold eighteen
revolvers to members of the order, * James Spratt,
now living in the same county, informing me
that he bought two revolvers himself, and that
Stevenson was peddling the arms for the pur.
pose of enabling men to resist the draft. Mr.
Ellsworth at the same time informed me that
his object in purchasing the revolvers was to
arm himself and son against the draft officers,
and that Stevenson so understood the purpose
for which they were to be used.”
SEVERAL weeks ago THE STAR com-
mented a little on the People’s party.
showing up its weak points and the rot ;
ten foundation on which it is trying to
build. Our article was clipped and en-
dorsed by the Carleton (Neb.) Reporter,
and now there is already a howl set up
by a soft-pated nonentity who replies to
us through the Reporter and signs an as-
sumed name. The reply, however, con-
sists mainly of a few coarse remarks, :
some wholesale boasting and several wild :
and idiotic assertions. The writer of the
insane reply referred to states that there
are about 80,000 people in Nebraska that
will this year support Weaver, Field and
Van Wyck, and adds that in four years
from now the People’s party will elect
the President of the United States. It
may be interesting to our Western friend
to inform him that the People's party has
no strength whatever outside of a few
Western and Southern states. In the
densely populated states of the East the
People’s party is almost unknown, and
can never become popular. It will bea
long. long time before such states as’ Ne-
braska elect the President withont the
aid of the East. Even in Nebraska, the
great (2) People’s party seems to be on
its last legs, judging from the following 4
which weclip from the Trenton (Neb.)
Register, a People’s party organ: :
“In the opinion of the Register, the most un-
fortunate thing that has happened to the Peo-
ple’s party in Nebraska, was the action of the
Kearney convention in the nomination of C. H.
Van Wyck for the office of Governor. It threw
aside a poor man, a toiler, a patriot who has built
up the People's cause in Nebraska and rewarded
the treachery of 1890 by nominating a million. ;
aire, a place-hunting politician, and one whose
sympathies are not with the common people.
While the Register believes firmly in the prinei-
ples of the People's party and will advise its
readers to vote the ticket as far as they can con- °
scientiously do so, it is not bound and will not
support a man whom it believes to represent all
that it despises in polities.”
By the above clipping from a People’s
party organ, it must be admitted that
TaE STAR presented some facts in.its
write-up of the said party. Furthermore,
our Western contradictor can tell us noth-
ing new concerning the kind of men the
People’s party is composed of in Nebras:
ka. We have lived there long enough to.
know all abont it, and we reiterate the
statement that the People’s party in Ne-
braska is made up almost entirely of the
most ignorant and shiftless people in the
state. There are hundreds of intelligent
Nebraska editors, partisan and non-par-
tisan, who will back us in this statement.
Free Trade in the United States.
The New York Sun, a Democratic news-
paper which believes in protection to
home industries, makes a good point in
replying to a correspondent who asks:
“Would it not be better for America to
come out boldly for free trade, rather
than to induce through a high tariff the
settling here of a lot of foreign manufac
turers, which, in my opinion, is free trade
under another name.” ;
*“The querist,” says the Sun, in replyi:
‘does not seem to he aware that the
United States is alreadv the greatest free
trade country in the world, since among
its sixty-five millions of population, in-
cluding the fools, there is the most entire
freedom of trade, without a single Custom
House; on any dividing line between
states or sections.”
A consideration of this fact will em:
phasize the importance of the immense
home market possessed by the United
States, a point which the Free Traders
are prone to dismiss with a sneer, but
which is a very important factor in the
debate between Protection and Free
Trade.
The Sun then states the general ques:
tion for the benefit of the questioner in
these words:
“The ordinary common sense of the
case is that it is a great advantave for
every country to manufacture within its.
own limits everything that is necessary.
to human existence and comfort. The
country which has to import articles of
necessity from abroad is weak in conse:
quence; becanse in time of war it may
be entirely deprived of these articles.
Accordingly, it has ever been a great ob-
ject with statesmen to bring every prac
ticable manufacture within the hounda-
ries of their own governments. The
more manufactures, the more varied ip
industries carried on in any country,
