iP* rgfifilniid i/aar L tml isput fished on Frldaymorntugofeach week at Rising Son, Cecil Co., Maryland, —B T E. E. EWING & SONS. Independent in politics and all other j subjects. SI .OO A YEAR. IN ADVANCE. Friday, May 17, 1895. The income tax is the coming in tax. It will come in spite of the plutocratic Snpreme Court. The part poor men have in this government is doing most of the voting; the rich see to it that the legislating is for themselves. '‘Sound Money” is bankrupting all the railroads in the country, and pretty nearly every body and business but the banks and interest drawers. The class of voters who never scratch a ticket is rapidly dis appearing and their place is being filled by thoughtful men who have the manhood to vote as they please. Major Henry Alvord, formerly president of the Maryland Agricul tural College, has been appointed chief of the newly created dairy division in the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Agricultural De partment, at a salary of #2500 a year. In 1892 Europe coined $65,000,- 000 silver more the country pro duced. Had the United States mints been open to free coinage Europe would have been forced to pay our mint value of silver in order to get a needed supply for money purposes. In 8 years from 1865, when the amount of circulating money in the country was reduced from #2,192,- 395,527 to the sum of $631,488,676. See congressional record, March 31st 1874. Contraction of the currency, falling prices and hard times marched hand in hand, and have done so in all history. It requires no argument at all to convince them which is their side if they will ascertain who the men are that are rnnnniug the “sound money” craze or bamboozle. The bankers, the millionaires, specu lators. The men who plan to get what industry earns. Does this class ever plan for the interest of the masses? Appleton’s Cyclopedia says: “An article is determined to be money by reason of the performance by it of certain functions without regard to its form or substance.” The North British Keview says: “inetalic money while acting as a coin is identical with paper money in respect to its being destitute of intrinsic value.” The banks have taken charge of the republican campaign of 1896 with “sound money” as their battle cry. Now let the people clearly understand the nature of their “sound money.” Protection of the wages of American workmen is played out. It is now “sound money.” If he can be fooled again by the same old deceiver with his “sound money” humbug our faith will fail in his capacity for self gov ernment. Never since the war has there been auy attempt on the part of democrat leaders to more than abuse the republicans; nor any eTort of the republicans to do more than vilify the democrats. And each when in power has done exactly what it condemned when out of power. Neither party has ever attempted to educate the people on finance, tariff or transportation, but on the contrary to deceive and mislead t lem. It is left for the Populists t) educate on these lines, and but a few years more of education will destroy both old parties. There is much muddle in our political system at present, but amids the clouds and dust of un certainty there is one peak that rises high and clear on the horizon, which is that sufficient revenue, at the rate of latter day expenditures, cannot be raised by tariff' duties without abolishing the “free list,” * if even then. This being the state of affairs confronting the country, an income tax having been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court under the bulldozing process of plutocracy and its metropolitan press, but one other means remains to resort to, a direct tax which will fall heavier on farms than on any other class of property. It is esti mated —and the estimate is not denied—that farm property pays 80 per cent of the taxes already, and an additional federal tax will crush the rural population to the eirtli and under the earth, which will be constitutional while taxing the idle wealth of the millionaires is pronounced by the Supreme Court unconstitutional under the millionaire whip. The Danger Confronting the People's Party. In place of the People’s party perhaps it would be stating the case more correctly to say the reform movement. The move ment is rapidly nearing that point where the Peter Cooper greenback movement went on the rocks and was wrecked. A free silver movement was injected into it and the party was diverted from its main object onto the silver movement. The democrat party then, as it gives signs of doing now, declared strongly for the re monetization of silver and fusion with the greenbackers. When the gold conspir ators became convinced that the popular tide was too strong to oppose, a Bland was found to make a compromise when on the very eve of success. A bargain was made with the gold monopolists for the goverment, in place of free coinage, to purchase and coin not more than j(4,ooo,ooo or less than $2,000,000 a month of silver. This defeated the free coinage, without its advocates apparently being aware ot the fact, while the silver movement had wrecked the greenback party by swallow ing it up in the democratic fusion move ment in favor of restoring silver to free coinage. When a compromise was engineered by the gold trust in the Bland-AUison law silver was made a commodity with the government as the chief bear in the pit. This was all the Jew bullion traders of London wanted, and from that day they continued to quote the price of American silver as low as the firms dared to put it, gradually pushing the price down week after week. Having managed to secure the administration on their side, insured only the minimum sum of £2,000,000 dollars coined monthly. Having defeated the greenback move ment and destroyed the party the national banks breathed easy, and the silver free coinage movement switched off, one of the chief sources of speculation among London bullion traders was American , silver. Having everything in their own hands, 1 contraction of the currency, lowering prices of property and creation of debts, 1 private, corporation, state, national, municipal became the chief end and aim of the gold money monopoly. This des perate game had so impoverished the people that IS9O precipitated another ! struggle for free coinage. A still more fatal compromise was made with the silver cause iu the hand of that prince of blun derers, “Dick” Bland, in the Sherman law A political cycle has brought the people ’ face to face again with conditions re sembling those of the Bland-Allison period, greatly magnified, and the silver movement is shaping itself in a very sim , ilar way. The rank and file of the demo , crat party are declaring in favor of free coinage of silver, while a distinct party under the name of Bimetallic party is , making a strong demonstration 011 the enemy’s flank, and in due time the flank movers are in hopes of committing one of , the old parties to free coinage, when they * will throw all the strength they can com mand to that party, and if some compro mise cannot be patched up like the Bland and Sherman laws, the gold ring and its “sound money” bamboozle will adopt 1 free coinage, and if the People’s party is 1 committed to the one financial plank theory of free silver at the front it will be hopelessly wrecked. It is a fact very noticeable that about all the old greenback leaders are endeav oring to run iu their old silver and green > back groove, as instance General Weaver and others. They are oblivious of the fact that public thought has traveled far j. beyond the old Peter Cooper policy of , only arresting the destruction of the > greenbacks. The People’s party aims to substitute for the greenback and all other govern j. ment paper a national legal tender money ( not redeemable, but primary. I The Bimetallic party which has taken entire direction of the silver campaign, 1 aims to give silver the same standing as ( gold, by declaring it a “primary money,” a “redemption” money. This is no more than adding more gold to the present gold coinage, by making silver, too, as it alwaj’S had been before 1873, a ‘ money of “final payment,” a “redemp -1 tion” money. This would tend to relieve 1 the pressure of debt to some extent and ’ raise prices, but the power to control } the money of the world, and especially of this country, would * remain iu the hands of the money 1 trust. This trust will consent to the re monetization of silver through its two old 1 parties when it finds itself unable to stem 1 the popular tide that is rising in force ' against it, but it will offer this concession I for another important concession which i will be the destruction of the greenbacks t aud the paper money of the future to be I bank paper. The entire Bimetallic, Bland, et. al., company would agree to such a “compromise.” They are all , “final payment” money men. The money trust could well afford to consent to the remonetization of silver on the “final payment” principle with forty billions of debt in their hands resting on the back of the industrial class of this country alone, and twenty-eight billions of national debts on the governments of ; the world. An addition of the silver to the gold of the world as final payment ' fixed in the demand of these mountains of debts, would leave the money trust as completely in control of the money, and 1 through money, of the property of the . world as they are at present. The trust through their banks could raise and lower . prices at will, make panics and brisk | times at their option, control congress and the nation’s Treasury and dictate the decisions of courts as they now do at their pleasure. If the single money plank policy ob tains control in the People’s party the ' gold monopoly and national bank party , are sure of their innings by another cotn | promise, and the People's party leaders of , the Weaver stripe will again find them selves either in the enemy’s camp as 1 allies or captives. They are moving on f the same fatal lines they did in the old ( Peter Cooper campaigns, aud apparently , have not discovered the great advance iu public thought since then. As old men * they fondly linger round the scenes of their youth and the graves of earlv hopes. TELE Ikd:Xl3XiA.lTr> TOTTEUST-A-L : FRIDAY, IMZALST 17, 1895. School Commissioners.
