A Railroad Department.
The railroad problem will never be settled
till we have a Railroad Department in the
general government with a cabinet officer at
the head ol it, to whom every railroad com
pany is compelled to make monthly or
quarterly report!, as regularly and as ex
plicitly as the postmasters report. The first
business of the Department would be to
ascertain the actual cost of the roads, or
rather, what it ought to cost to build and
equip them at the present time, and pro
ceed to extract the water from the stock and
bonds till nothing but pure, unadulterated
value remained, dividing up the loss or
shrinkage, prorata among the stocks and
bonds. Then the salaries of railroad officers
should be fixed by law, and rates fixed that
would pay not more than six per cent on
any road, and the rates for travel and trans
portation reduced to the cost of running the
roads and the interest ou the debt, with a
sinking fund to pay efi the mortgage debt
in a series of years, leaving no incumbrance
on the roads and people but the stocks. All
cutting of rates or canvassing tor business
by agents to be forbidden, allowing trade
and travel to choose such lines as would
best accommodate them.
The railroads are for the accommodation
of the people and not for the interest of
speculators and money investors, stock job
bers and gamblers, for whose interest they
are now principally used, the benefit to the
public being of secondary consideration.
Under such a strictly business control
every railroad in the country would pay a
reasonable and steady interest on the stock
representing its actual cost, which would be
the safest investments in the country.
Travel and transportation under such a bus
iness system would increase to a marvelous
extent and rates would be lowered in the
ratio to that increase, as the rates for mail
service diminish as the business grows, and
the industrial, producing classes would be
correspondingly benefited as well as every
legitimate line of business. The substance
of the people is eaten up by a class of oper
ators who infest the railroads as rats do a
grain or provision warehouse, who, judged
by the result of their stealing must be
classed among thieves.
Oh what a shrinkage would take place in
the fortunes and incomes of the Jay Goulds
and Vanderbiltsl But the freed public
would shed no tears over the loss of the mil
lions they have plundered from the people.
The systems which have sprung up with
the labor saving inventions of the last half
century are the most corrupt and unjust,
when their magnitude is considered, the
world has ever seen. Justice to the people
by the people must and will be established,
and the movement is now started that will
accomplish it. As the truth gradually breaks
upon the public mind the labor and honest
masses will gravitate to each other and a
government policy will take the place of
our present system as radically, unlike it,
as the government set up by the men of the
revolution differed from that of King
George. The interest ef the whole people
is the first consideration of government, and
not the interest of exploiters, which has
come to be the controlling belief of the day,
judging from the methods now iu operation.
To root out and break up the false systems
in vogue is the problem in political economy
the people are addressing themselves to. If
these systems were broken up men would
have to employ their time, cap
ital in honest and useful pursuits. Three
fourths of the so-called “business” of the
country, measured by the sum of money it
professes to represent is nothing less than
stealing in its various forms. Our railroads
furnish the greatest harboring place for the
parties who engage in this modern system of
theft, misnamed “business,’’ and the people
by the power vested in them through ther
government must control them.
Against Silver.
Since the editorial page of the Ap
peal has been initiated into the order
of the golden calf it espouses the
cause ot the foreign debt holders and
is even violent in opposition to sil
ver restoration to its constitutional
and ancient place as one of the
money metals. The last declaration
of the Appeal is:
“We hope that when the Republi
can State Convention meets it will
insert in the platform a positive
declaration that the Republican party
of Maryland is opposed to the free
coinage of silver.”
We hope so too. Let there be no
longer any bogus division of politi
cal parties on imaginary lines called
Republican and Democrat. Let the
true lines be drawn that everybody
may see and understand them. In
future let the parties be known as
the Rich non-producing Plutocratic
party and the Poor Producing party.
These are the present natural politi
cal divisions of the country. There
. are in reality no Republican and
Democratic parties. These are only
names of parties that once existed
and are handed down to us as Tyre,
Babylon and Carthage- The political
divisions masquerading under these
names are one in principle on the
tariff—both are advocates of a pro.
tective tariff—both are in unison on
financial matters. Their policr is to
sustain the present banking system
which makes debts and money dear
and labor and the products of labor
cheap; The financial policy of both
is to make the rich richer and the
poor poorer. Both cry out against
monopolies and trusts while adyocat
jog the policy that upholds them.
-THE RJiPILAIsr jD iTOtTfeITA-tj: P’Pg.llJA.-g, .ATTQ-TJS'X 1 14, IS9I
Government Control Cheapens the
Servioe.
In discussing the manufacture of heavy
guns, armor plates and ships the Philadel
phia Pi-ess pays a iribute (thoughtlessly
doubtless) to the economy of government
control ol large enterprises, and which
points out the advantage to the public which
would result from the government control of
railroads and the telegraph. The Press
says:
“The advantage is seen in the experience
of the Navy Department, which has reduced
the cost of manufacturing 6-inch guns from
$3400 in 1886 to $1298 in 1890, and the
average lime required for the production of
a gun was shortened from 115 to sixty days.
There was a similar redaction in time and
cost on the guns of larger caliber.”
Who would agree to turn over the post
office business to a private monopoly or to
the competition, rate cutting and finally
pooling and the inevitable “trust,” by giv
ing the business into the bands of several
private companies. As it is with the mail
business and as it is beimr demonstrated by
the mannfacture'of cannon, ships and armor
plate, so it would prove with the railroads
and telegraph, the business would be safer
and carried on at half the present cost if it
.was all under government control. So
nicely is the far reaching and complicated
mail service managed by government con
trol that if a single mail bag is misplaced,
where tons of mail is shifted with the utmost
hurry and dispatch, the mistake is imme
diately known at headquarters, and the
fault traced up to the agent in a few hours
after. If any employe supposes he may
venture to steal a few letters while haodiing
thousands and no eye to see him, before he
is aware of it the officer has him under ar
rest, and the evidence of his guilt is placed
before his eyes. If the telegraph was in the
hands of the government half our corres
pondence would be done in that way, greatly
lightening the letter service, and reducing
the expense. Railroad freights and fare
would be reduced to one-ha)fat once and ere
long to one-fourth of what they are at pres
ent. The frightful railroad murders that
daily fill the papers, which are pretty
nearly all traceable to inefficiency or care
lessness, would be reduced to a minimum.
No one iu the employ of the mail depart
- ment can shirk his business and escape
, complaint and sharp criticism from the
public, and being reported to headquarters.
: And it would be the same in the railroad
! and telegraph. The argus eyes of the pub
lic would be ever on them. The public
will not endure much longer to be abused
- ane robbed through these •mediums by a
select, favored class.
The State of the Order.
Under this caption The National Econo
, mist, the national organ of the Farmers’
Alliance, published at Washington, D. C.,
in a review of the condition of the Order
1 says:
“In compering the present condition of
the order with that of one year ago when the
state meetings began, a decided movement
f for the better is at once discovered. Not
' withstanding the fierce opposition the Alli
ance has increased in numbers, become more
t
solidly united and is every way stronger.
| It is to-day better equipped for the struggle
> for reform, better prepared to cope with its
1 enemies and better qualified to take care of
1 itself and defend its principles than ever
before.
1 “The public press, especially the subsi
! dized portion, has persistently misrepresent
’ ed the condition of the order. A false
! report would he sent out from Kansas stat
-1 ing that the Alliance was being disrupted
’ on account of the sub-treasury plan. This
■ would be taken up by all the leading dailies
' both North and .South, and heralded all
* over the land. Another equally false state
ment would be given out through the same
channels, that the Alliance in Texas was
I breaking to pieces for similar reasons. No
matter what evidence might be given that
these reportb were untrue, not a line could
! be gotten into the columns of those papers
1 to inform the people of the facts. A vie
-1 ious attack planned in Nashville, St. Louis
’ or Topeka would be printed simultaneously
* in New York, Charleston, Chicago and all
other large business centers, proving con
! clusively the existence of a plan of cam
paign against the Alliance from this source.
In fact it is doubtful if all the unfair, mis
leading and false reports given out by the
subsidized press, haye changed the opiniens
. of a dozen members of the entire Order,
. while the ridicule and abuse of the priciples
, of the Alliance are known to have started
good men to investigate these demands,
which in turn has been of great benefit to
the Order. Every trne member of the
I Alliance should take renewed interest in
> the Order and continue the contest revived
, and lefreshed by this reassuring condition
of Alliance affairs.
I The Australian Ballot Law at the
Primaries.
k
, One important duty developing on
. the next legislature of Maryland will
bo extending the Australian ballot
1 law over the nine counties which the
I local bosses prevailed on the last
, legislature to exempt. There is no
. sufficient reason why this judicious
i law should not be extend over every
* voting precinct in the state and
many good reasons why it should
. The law should also be made to in
> elude the primaries for here is where
I the most mischief to the franchise is
J done. The primary shou'd name the
candidate and make it the business
j of the judges of the primary to meet
* at Elkton to count the votes and pul-
J lish the names of the candidates the
; people selected and this is all the
, “county convention” should be em
i powered or permitted to do. No log
* rolling and swapping either at the
primaries or the convention, and no
J boss dictation and coercion. Let us
have the Australian ballot excended
to the primaries as well as to the
'general election.
The Tickets.
The Republican primaries were
held last Saturday, and the nominat
ing convention on Tuesday. The
work of the latter having superseded
the former, the result of the pri
maries in the several districts lose
their significance, and a report of the
work of the convention is all that
the public feels an interest in. We
publish proceedings of the conven
tion elsewhere; and arise to remark
. that the legislative ticket of both
’ parties are nominations not fit to be
made, and are an insnlt to the peo
ple of Cecil county who represent its
worth, wealth, morality and industry,
and we challenge a successful denial
of this indictment- There is not a
paper in the county that will dare
defend the legislative nominees of
either ticket on the ground of fitness
for the place they are designed to
occupy. They are as conspicuous
misfits as Paddy from Cork’s coat
which buttoned behind to keep his
belly warm. All such nominations
are designed to warm the jobs, mo
nopolies and syndicates ttiat swarm
about Annapolis during the session
to capture franchises, defeat laws for
equitable taxation and promote class
legislation generally. But it is not
worth while to waste words comment
ing on such tickets. The moral and
object of such nominations are plain
to everybody, as a city set upon a
hill that cannot be hid. This is the
last straw that breaks the camel’s
back —or ought to. It is a cool, de
liberate defiance to the people. The
next legislature of Maryland is to be
one of the most important that has
assembled in 20 years. Almost a
new departure in legislation is de
manded and provision is to be made
by amendments to the constitution to
enable such legislation, and at the
very threshhold, the huxteriug poli
tician, the political fake, shakes his
dice. presto! out drops nonies
to represent Cecil in that extraordi
narily important law making body.
We have not a single word to say
against any other part of either
ticket. They are fairly good. Where
one may lack something ibe opposite
offers better material to draw from,
but the legislative tickets are like
salt that has lost its savor and should
be disposed of as such.
But the time for protesting is past-
Let there be a mass meeting organ
ized at the Woodlawn farmers’ meet
ing and their representative men be
placed in nomination, in order that
citizens may not be compelled to
i lose their votes by refusing to vote
for such nominees or throw them
1 away by voting for them. The self
■ respect, the manhood, the brain and
brawn, the intelligence of every cit-
C izen of the county is put to theftest
by this open defiance, and the com
mercial politician says, in the lan
t guage of the millionaire Vanderbilt
. ‘ the people be d d.”
Geo, A. Blake, who was one of the
nominees for the legislature, was not
! present when nominated, and of
. course is not included in our stric
. tures- He would make an intelli
gent, conscientious legislator. The
’ following card is published in the
' Appeal :
A CARD.
Mr. Editor: —Having been advis
. ed that my name was placed in nom
. ination before the Republican con
vention yesterday for the position of
I State’s Attorney and also as a aom
( inee for the House of Delegates, I
| wish to say that I most positively
I declined to allow my name to be used
before the convention for any posi
tion whatever, and that it was done
1 without authority- While thanking
' the gentlemen of the convention for
’ the honor intended, I hereby decline
: the nomination made.

A Money Aristocracy.
Thirty-three' in
i the United States own over half of
i all the wealth of this country, and
' one-sixth of our wealth is owned by
| foreign money kings- Let us figure
a little and ascertain the amount of
this wealth The property of all
. kinds constituting wealth of this
■ country is put down at $00,000,000,-
000. if the 33,000 families owned
hut one half of this sum, evenly di
vided among them, each family would
own nearly one million dollars. Add
, to tikis sum one-sixth owned by for
eign money kings, ten millions more,
and we find there is left but about
twenty of this sixty billions to be
I owned by the remaining twelve and
, half million families. It will be
, readily seen that we are approaching
a monied aristocracy at a greater
' than railroad speed. If present gov
' eminent methods are allowed to go
i on unchecked, a generation or less
. will bring us to that condition, when
I all the profits of labor will go to sup
port in idleness an aristocratic
money class, and every man and
woman who labors to produce wealth
: will have a virtual task master stand
, ing ready to take all of the fruits of
their labor but a bare subsistence.
Then we will be under the same wage
slavery system that to day crushes
. Europe and Asia, and from which
their populations are fleeing to
America to escape.

What I Love.
For the Midland Journal,
I loye the babbling stream that flows
Adown the meadow, fresh with dew.
Where grow the daisy and wild rose.
And owletts in the twilight woo.
The evening air, so calm an 1 still,
The silence almost makes me sad;
The sun sinks down behind the hill—
The blamed mosquitoes drive me mad.
I love to listen to the cat bird’s lay,
Among the spreading maple trees,
As zyphers through the branohes play—
Confound the plaguy, August fleas!
1 often hie me to the shady wood,
And there in calm and peaceful rest,
Dream the hours away in pensive mood.
Of nature in her robes of beauty drest.
