Union Reform Ticket.
The Union Reform parly has
made considerable progress in sev
eral States. In Ohio the party’s
greatest strength appears. Jn
Maryland the propagandists of the
new narty have been quite active,
the city ot Baltimore being the
center of activity. A State ticket
and local ticket for Baltimore city
have been nominated and by peti
tion the party has secured a place
fir its ticket on the election ballot.
The parly has but one plank in
its platform, which, however, in
cludes all questions in issue at
present, or that can be place in
issue in the future. The plank in
the party’s platform is the ‘'lnitia
tive and Referendum,” or direct
legislation, which requires acts
passed by the legislature to be sub
mitted to the people for ratification
before such acts can become law.
The following are the State candi
dates of the
UNION REFORM PARTY.
For Governor
William N. Hill,
of Baltimore.
■ For Comptroller
William E. George.
For Attorney-General
Robert Brent Walling.
All who have conscientious or
political scruples against voting for
the State goldbug candidates on the
old party tickets can east their
votes for the candidates on the
Union Reform ticket. No reason
able man can have any conscien
tious scruples against voting for
himself as a law maker. That is
what direct legislation proposes to
do, give every voter a chance to
vote for or against a law after it
passes the legislature.
Dewey as a Presidential Candidate.
Our erratic brother of the Cecil
Star has a new crotchet, and we
fear the steady going denizens of
Cecil will be calling the Star a
“yellow journal.” The Star’s
latest love is Dewey and this is the
way it shies love apples at him
after a eulogy of the “great
Admiral : ”
“While not at this time urging
the nomination of the great Ad
miral by the Democrats, we wish
to say that in common with a very
large majority ot his countrymen
we would take great pleasure in
assisting to confer upon him
through the Democratic party the
highest honor which can be con
ferred upon an American.”
The Admiral being a Vermont
Republican, why not take pleasure
in conferring upon him through
the Republican party 1 That would
be more rational, if only the man is
to be honored at such a fearful cost.
The apostles of democracy have
always taught that the doctrines of
the party were founded on prin
ciples and not on man worship.
Mr. McKinley is much better skill
ed in statecraft than Dewey, and if
the Star desires to perpetuate Re
publican party principles it is far
more logical and rational to go to
McKinley.
Schley* or Watson—we doubt
Sampsou—had either been in com
mand of the Asiatic squrdron, we
doubt not would have as effectually
smashed up the Spanish navy in
the harbor of Manila. It is very
poor Americanism and very shaky
democracy that proclaims its read
iness to forget principle and pros
trate before a mere man.
Political Deformity.
The Gorman policy of the Democratic
party of Maryland is vindicting its wis
dom with a vengeance ! The Baltimore
Herald is out flatfooted for I.owndes and
the Republican ticket. The Sun after
balancing and weighing chances has
concluded to he “ independent," and is
praising the Republican ticket. The
leaders of the Democratic party of Mary
land have isolated it from the national
party. They have tried to capture a
metropolitan daily by standing up for
“sound money” and placing three gold
bugs at the head of the ticket. They
have led the party into the wilderness
and away from home in order to coax a
metropolitan daily to its assistance. The
principles of Jefferson and Jackson have
been deserted and it has been clothed in
the cast off garments of the Republican
party, all for the empty hope of currying
favor with the goldbng element and get
ting from it a liberal campaign fund, and
their apostasy has left the party stranded.
The independent, thinking vole which
is opposed to the British policy of the
Republican party, will leave the party on
election day severely alone. The Balti
more dailies are already prophesying the
election of Lowndes and a Republican
House of Delegates, and there is nothing
in sight to defeat such a result hut the
intense unpopularity of the McKinley
administration and his' British financial
and colonial policy in the Philippines.
The people of Maryland or any other
State cannot endorse two gold standard
parties. They will abhor one and cleve to
to the other, and large numbers will de
spise both. The Democratic party of
Maryland it must he confessed occupies a
most pitiful position in the eyes of the
whole nation.
If, owing to the intense unpopularity of
the British policy which the Republican
party has adopted, the nondescript Dem
ocratic party of Maryland should succeed
in electing its State ticket, what kind of
low seat would it occupy next year when
the party must he national or be cast out,
as the Palmer and Buckner deformed
Democratic monstrosity was in 1896?
THE ZMZIZDZLiA-lSriD
The Money Monopoly.
Wilmer Atkinson, editor of that excel
lent agricultural magazine, the Farm
Journal, strikes many sturdy blows at
monopoly but is not prepared to lay the
ax at the root. The following natural
monopolies the Farm Journal favors
putting under government cohtrol :
“All public utilities such as the express '
and transportation business, water and j
gas companies of cities, telephone, tele- ]
graph and trolly lines, he taken over by >
the government and tun as the post office
is now.”
This list seems to cover all natural
monopolies but one, the greatest of them
all, which is the money monopoly. In a
private note to the editor of the Midland
Journal, who suggested the wisdom of
putting the king trust of them all in the
list of government control, friend Atkin
son balks at the sight of that giant having
a bit put in its mouth by the government,
and being served as all the smaller fry,
and iu the note says:
“I would not want the government to
go into the banking business any more
than it is now. We had that in the old
United Stales bank anil you know how
that worked.”
Yes, we know how that worked, and
that is the strongest reason, coupled with
the manner of all private banks, govern
ment chartered banks work. We are in
clined to conclude that the editor of the
Farm Journal has not looked as carefully
into the bank business as he has into
other monopoly abuses. The Farm Jour
nal is a radical advocate of a government
savings bank system, which is a consid
erably further advance in government
banking than at present occupied.
The old United States bank was not a
government bank in any sense, not so
much even as the present national banks,
but merely a corporation receiving a
charter from Congress, in which the gov
ernment was a stockholder to the amount
of several million dollars and depositor
of the public money, the same as other
stockholders and depositors. The gov
ernment voted its stock in electing officers
but had not a contolliug influence, hence
the election of Nicholas Biddle as pres
ident, who fought General Jackson so
hard, and gave him a world of trouble.
In fact that bank made the biggest polit
ical fight the nation ever witnessed, and
threatened to overeide t'>e government,
just as the national banks are attempting
to do at present. The bank's interference
in politics and its efforts to override the
power of the government by its pressure
on Congress, and its general interference
to iuerease its power and perpetuate its
charter, was the main reason given by
Jacksou for his battle against it.
The United States bank was simply a
chartered corporation which was intent
on forming a gigantic money trust, and
had no semblance of a government bank.
There are a hundred good reasons why
the government should take the banking
business in hand, even stronger reasons
than can be named for taking charge of
transportation lines and the telegraph.
All the reasons that can be named for
government control of these natural mo
nopolies apply to the banking, and yet
stronger reasons. The banking business
would be as simple and easily handled by
the government as the post office bus
iness, if not more easily; far more easily
managed than transportation and rail
roads.
There is a constant “demand” by a
class of economists for the government to
issue all the currency “direct to the peo
ple without the intervention of banks.”
Unless the government establishes its
own banks, we wouid like the Farm Jour
nal or anybody else to explain how the
government could do that. The individual
wise enough to answer that question has
not appeared. The government without
banking machinery could neither issue
approximately the needed supply of paper
tnouey or control that it might issue.
Banks are the distributing agents of the
money employed in business, and are
necessarily so, and these custodians ol the
money in circulation can and always will
control it to advance their private interest,
and use it as a powerful political machine.
They always have done so and in the very
nature of things will continue to do so
until the power is taken from private cor
porations and lodged in the government,
which is in the people, without the inter
vention of private banks.
All of our banks are private hanks.
They are organized by a few men obtain
ing a charter and starting the business of
fleecing the rest of mankind by loauing
their deposits several times over and pock
eting the interest. The transportation
companies, telegraph, street railways,
electric and gas companies, etc., do the
same thing, operating through the me
dium of the corporation with a little dif
ferent kind of machinery. How any man
can advocate government ownership and
control of the various natural monopolies
or public utilities named above and shy
when government control of the most
powerful and most dangerous monopoly
of them all is proposed is passing strange.
No reason has ever been offered why the
money monopoly should not be included.
As the Farm Journal is very near the
farmers, a class most pitilessly shorn of
all classes, vyll it tell “our folks” why
the money monopoly should not be
placed under government control with
the others?
The following paragraph, taken from a
history of the old United States Bank, (
shows the danger of sucii institutions. In
place of the Bank being under govern- ,
ment control the government came very
near being placed under the Bank's
control.
"This powerful corporation," says the (
historian, “created by the government 1
and mainly supported by the deposits of
the public funds, had grown so proud and ;
insolent by a long continuance of arbi- 1
trary and irresponsible power as to threat
en the very government itself, and to 1
exercise an influence over the trade and
industry of the country incompatible with
the freedom of either and the rights of
the people. It controlled the financial j
j operations of the government and of the <
people. It put up and put down the price
of commodities at will. It first essayed
to corrupt the people. It subsidised a
portion of the press. It regulated ex
change.”
Jeremiah Black in his eulogy on Jack
son says:
“The Bank suddenly withdrew her dis
' counts, curtailed her circulation, pressed
: her debtors to the wall, and the conse
! quence was that formal committees from
every part of the Union waited on the
President by thousands with their com
plaints of the distress they had been
taught to believe was brought upon the
country by him. Two-thirds of the
presses, three fourths of the orators and
writers of the nation were exerting their
powers of invective, argumeut and rid
icule to bring contempt, hatred and rid
icule upon his character. Physical force
began to be talked of, anonymous letters
warned him that assassins were watching
for his life, armed committees of ‘ten
thousand’ were proposed, an encampment
on Capitol Hill was threatened, and revo
lution was mentioned.”
Just such conditions were brought about
in 1893 by a similar conspiracy of the
present national banks to bring a pressure
to force the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law. But the banks
had fortified themselves with a willing
tool in the White House, and beyond a
financial panic it was not necessary for
them to go
Iu order to impress the people with the
danger of the money power it is necessary
to often bring a portion of its history fresh
to mind. The two old United States
Banks were simply private corporations
with the government as stockholder and i
depositor, on the same level with the in
dividual depositor. The Bank issued its
hills and was responsible for their j
redemption. Its notes were popular with
the people because the popular belief was
that they were somehow invested with
the prerogative of the government, which
was not the case.
The national bank note has the guar
antee of the government bond which
rests on the ability of the people to pay.
Anything that the people believe the
government endorses as money goes.
Any obligations in the shape of bank
paper it does not endorse is regarded with
suspicion by the people. Hence the logic
of the w hole case is the people want the J
government for their banker, separated
from all tangling alliance with private J
banks and bankers. It has five hundred
millions of money in the form of
taxes to distribute annually, which it 1
could keep in circulation through its ow n
banks. At present for want ofsuch finan- j
cial machinery half that sum lies lifeless
in the the treasury, with the Secretary
offering to pay #30,000, of interest in ad
vance to relieve the stringency of the
money market in Wall street !
The old United States Bank and the
present national banks, though not
exactly alike, are as near akin as two
children of the same mother.

West Jefferson, 0., after suffeting eigh
teen months from rectal fistula, he would

Greenbacks vs. Bank Notes.
During the war when gold and silver
were at a premium, bank notes circulated
on a level with greenbacks, and were
never worth any more; the reason being
that national bank notes were payable in
lawful money, and the greenback being
lawful money (and at the time the cheap
est money) was used by the banks for the
redemption of bank uote§. It is interest
ing to hear these same bankers, who
redeemed bank notes in paper when gold
and silver were at a premium of over a
hundred per cent, talk about the dishon
esty of a debtor, w hether the debtor be an
individual or the government, who would
redeem his obligations in anything but
the dearest money.
The bank note has been good because
it has had behind it the bonds and the
greenbacks issued by the government. If
the greenback is good enough to stand
behind the bank note it is good enough
to stand without the bank note in front
of it. —W. J. Bryan in New York Journal.
During the winter of 1897 Mr. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and mer
chants of Clay, Clay Co., W. Va , struck
his leg against a cake of Ice in such a
manner as to bruise it severely. It be
came very much swollen and pained him
so badly that he could not walk without
the aid of crutches. He was treated by
physicians, also used several kinds of lin
iment and two and a half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it, but liotliing gave
any relief until he began using Chamber.

complete core in a week’s lime and he
believes that had he not used this remedy
his leg would have had*to be amputated.
