Mrs. Annie M. Chance died on April 2ist, 1890, at the residence of her son- in-law, Captain Alfred Kemp, Cambridge, aged 84 years. Mrs. Chance was born in 1806 in Miles River Neck, and was the only daughter of Shadrach Wooters, a veteran of the War of 1812.

She was married twice, her first husband being James L. Floyd, of Miles River Neck, by whom she had three children, two of whom died in infancy, and the remaining one, James Floyd, dying in Virginia, January 25, 1887. In 1837 Mrs. Floyd, then a widow, remarried, her second husband being Henry Chance, by whom she had nine children, only two of whom are now living. After the death of her second husband, which occurred May 8, 1872, she went to reside with her son, Charles Chance, remaining with him eight years.

She then removed to Cambridge, residing with her daughter, Mrs. Captain Kemp, until her death. Mrs. Chance leaves thirty-six grand- ch ildren and twenty-four great-grand- hildren. Chancery Examiner T.

When about half way between the two villages, t'ne car struck a spike, which it is supposed some boys had laid upon the rail, and went, helly-to-split-end-over-end and dumped the men, promiscuously, by the side of the track. The injury was slight, except to one, wliose head was leaned up against a cross-tie with considerable force, making a gash about four inches long in the scalp. Dr.

Phillips dressed the wound at the drug store, and while painful it is not dangerous. We did not learn his name.

DUTY' ON TIN To the Kilitur of the The question of the re-arrangement of the tariff on tin plates--an article entering; into the personal need of every individual in the necessary MI largely and in such diversity to a of the most important manu- a i interests of our country-necessarily effects the personal welfare of every member of the community. The tax upon the people ot i country in 18X9 upon i article, was about seven millions of dollars wholly uuiiLCtssary for the need the Government, and i the excuse of single protected interest.

The of the law proposed as now printed, is very ambiguous; but it seems this tax of one cent, per pound is to be retained i the first of July 1891, and a that time all gu.iges from .25 to 29 arc to be taxed cents per pound and as nearly all tin terne plates come i i those guages, Mihslanii.illy a will be the rate ol llie whole product. i any increase in consumption, this difference would make an addition to the tin plate duty of $8,750,000 per annum, which would a total tax per annum, for the tin plates needed for this country's welfare, and judging from the past increase in the consumption, the amount must be largely in excess of even these enormous figures. This a is to be a of the people i being needed for expenses, and upon sole proposition a by it we shall be enabled to establish a new industry, and eventually supply ourselves with tin plates a a in this country. Now multiply this amount by the ten, i years or more a these duties will be demanded by the a a and judge if it be wise to buy the industry at such a price. It must not be lost sight of, a a a of articles in this country from tin plates is now an i ol enormous magnitude.

Were tin plates free, there is little, if a doubt a these a a could all of them find a a in foreign countries for their product, in competition i the product of any other nation in similar goods. This market is denied now by the duty of one cent per pound, and you can easily miau'me helpless it will be in the face of a of cents per pound. The plea for this is th.it a a of tin plaits would be estahlKhed here in ihis country, and become a and imposing branch of i i a and the inference is left to be drawn a in a very short time this industry, supplying the country with ti.i plates, would be ready In take olf the and furnish the people their plates as cheaply as they get them now. We have only to look at history of the iron manufacture's, and of our copper mining interests, to see how futile such an a i is. so far as any relief from those interested in the a a of plates is concerned.

It is now i years, nearly, since an enormous was rhiced upon the a a of iron and steel i into this country. Tiie revenues from duties, as you know, have amounted to over one millions per a more a necessities of the rcquiied, and has been ncccsiarily used to i ciiasc its 4 per cent, bonds and cancel its indebtedness, at a premium of 25 to 30 per cent, above a pouring this money, not i the hands of the laboring classes', whose welfare is the confessed object of this tarifl, but into the hands of capitalists, who weie i i to invest i money at 4 per cent, for safety a than risk it in the i a a of business. These iron and steel a a as you well know, a this nearly i years of protection, are now a i its increase, instead of being willing to reduce the burdens laid upon the people. We submit i case to yon. It is only one of the many necessities of people, which arc proposed to be a riot as they claim to protect the laborer, nor to care for labor, but it is manifest a these men, seeking such protection, demand for themselves, for the oversight of such a a a net result that accumulates a in individual hands all over the country.

Ought not the people to bestir selves, and demand of our legislators such an arrangement of tariff revenues, as shall confine them closely to the necessary expenditures of the Government, and interfere, in the least possible manner i the business of the country.

MrKiuIvy unit i Speak of Tliflr 1'ai orltc Theme-- Nntvt. WASHINGTON, May 12, 1890 The two main of Major McKinley his speech before the House in ixliich he opened the tariff debate was, first the great and bcneficicnt scheme extending and liberalizing the draw- jack sections of the law. The bill jrovides that drawbacks paid by the overnment to the manufacturers of exported goods be ninety nine per cent. of the duties that exporters are obliged to pay loreign custom-houses. Under the present law 90 per cent.

Is paid. The result of this law is that the manufacturers we are taxed to support sell their goods to foreigners at a price less the duty, that he charges American No sophistry can misconstrue this measure into anything but a direct bounty paid manufacturers for selling goods in foreign markets. Secondly: That the time had come when the A i a agriculturalists must sell his products in the markets of the world, in competition with the low-priced labor of foreign countries. The only remedy or advice he offered the farmers was to take great care of and preserve the home market, for they would certainly be driven from the foreign ones. He was followed by Mr.

Mills who a this was the lirst tarifl bill that had ever come before the people with its ma'-k torn off, like a highwayman de- man.lir.g their purses. To check i a i was to check exportation. No man could show how v. could buy if we could r.ot sill.
