*I.OO A YEAR, IN ADVANCE.
Friday, Jnne 20,1900.
Senator McComas has been elect
ed National Committeeman for
Maryland, and the Malsterites
turned down.
If McKinley is allowed to go on
as he has been doing, violating the
constitution and every American
precedent, the land of the Ameri
can eagle will soon be but a colony
of the British lion.
Wonder how much Addicks
promised to put into the corruption
fund, in order to have his delega
tion admitted to the Philadelphia
convention and himself named
National Committeeman of Del
aware? f
McKinley’s likeness was con
spicuous in the Republican papers
after the convention. Quite a
change was apparent from the
smiles for all that formerly was a
distinctive feature of the same face.
A worn and troubled lojk predom
dominated the chief magistrate. Is
it worth the sacrifice to play second
fiddle to Hanna? This is the belief
of the whole country and is not a
mere party fling.
The money trust newspapers con
tinue their efforts to scare the
Democratic convention into emas
culating the platform. A long ed
itorial leading up to this appeared
in the Philadelphia Times on Tues
day, closing with the following
ominous prophecy threat: “If it
shall be conservative, there will be
a desperate and probably a doubt
ful contest for President. If rad
ical and revolutionary, the re
election of McKinley will be
assured.”
All these papers pray for Bryan’s
defeat, hence their advice; 1C to 1
is the Banquo ghost they most fear.
Destruction of the Eastern Shore.
The government engineers are
making a survey of the Chesapeake
Bay, its rivers and the adjacent
country. Capt. J. W. Down, En
gineer in Chief, has furnished a
sketch of this important work for
the Perryville Record.
It appears, according to the in
vestigation of the engineers, that
the shores of the bay are steadily
and surely wearing away and being
carried out to sea. The following
is the concluding paragraph of the
Captain’s prediction as divulged to
him by the oracle of science:
“The measure of good accruing
from a scientific standpoint; is ob
vious. The erasion of shore in
many places is remarkable—as for
instance Poplar Island has been re
duced in area one-third—this half
century. No part of the shore is
building up—degradation is tha
rule—and sometime in the far dis
tant centuries the Eastern Shore
will cease to exist and the Susque
hanna river will pour down its
flood directly into the sea. It is
quite practicable to define a general
rate of progress in that direction
as the work of erasion goes steadily
and constantly on.”
Just think a moment. Ten
thousaud years hence—maybe a
hundred thousand—all that flat
mosquito region from Mount Araaat
on the Susquehanna to the capes at
the mouth of the Chesapeake and
the capes of the Delaware is to lie
swept into the ocean. Havre de
Grace and Perryville will have to
go. Port Deposit with its Tome
Institute, the “World’s School,”
as the faculty and Commence
ment Day orators assured us,
will remain sate behind their
granite battlements. Little Dela
ware and the Eastern Shore will be
overed by the deeps and old ocean
will roll his tides, in obedience to
the moon’s commonds, over all that
now fertile region, the home of the
festive mosquito, the epicurean
einvas back and tempting bivalve.
Just think of all these treasures of
the Chesapeake and delights of the
bon vivant, all passing into obliv
ion, or which is the same thing,
the depths of the sea!
But what if another glacial
period should visit our planet as it
journeys through space in our
planetary system, and the ice comes
down loaded with gravel and sand
and boulders and lifts up the bot
tom of the sea, and builds great
morains like “Gravely Hill” which
defy the waves of old ocean. But
there is one regret if all this should
take place. No one will be here
to say “ I told you so.”

To Scare the Public—Fictitious Re
ports Circulated by the Republi
cans—Purpose is to Secure the
Re-election of McKinley.
[L. A. Whits, in Brockton Diamond.]
There is a plain purpose on the part of
the administration leaders to scare the
public with fictitious reports of inter
national troubles. Following on Secre
tary Root’s recent statement that the
United Stales would yet have to fight in
defense of the Monroe doctrine, Senator
Lodge makes the assertion in the Senate
' that there are already complications
which will compel the United States to
take active aud energetic measures in de
fense of that principle.
1 This is all thundering for a purpose,
and that purpose is simply to secure the
re-election of McKinly. The Monroe
doctrine is menaced by no power save
Great Britain and is endangered by no
3 one so much as by McKinley himself.
I Had McKinley occupied the White House
. instead of Cleveland Great Britain would
> today be in possession of the mouth of
the Orinoco and over a third of the in
terior territory of Venezuela. There has
been no point of contention in which the
5 interests of the United States have been
I jeopardized by Great Britain since Mc
. Kiuley entered the White House that the
American position is not worse off than
I when McKinley took the oath of office.
But the one nation toward whom both
Secretary Root and Senator Lodge are
pointing is Germany. Why? Because
the Geruian-American vote has so far left
- the Republican party on the issues of itn-
perialism, militarism and the pro-British
attitude of the administration that only
the most powerful counterstroke can pos
-3 sibly offset that defection. There are over
1 2,000,000 voters in this country who are
• either of German birth or German de
scent. They have been the most power-
I ful factor in carrying the great middle
west for the Republican party. Their
steadfast adherence to Republican for
-1 tunes in the past has secured the election
of every Republican president since Grant
left the White House. Their defection in
. 1884 and 1892 brought about the election
B of Cleveland. This year more than either
of the years mentioned the Germans have
turned their backs upon the Republican
• party. The efforts now being made in
l Washington to have the public believe
- that the German empire is hostile to the
? United States will emphasize the defection
t of the German-Auierican party.
8 Germany is not hostile to the United
- States nor to the Monroe doctrine. There
• is ample and sufficient evidence that
- McKinley’s anti-German campaign is a
8 part of his pro-British policy which has
its inspiration in London. Lord Salis-
S bury has seen German enterprise and
I technical skill uprooting and weediugout
. inferior British products in all the prin
cipal markets of the world. German
technical schools and scientific methods
have made Germany the world's leader iu
- all processes involving synthetic cheui-
J istry and its application to the arts and
t sciences.
Only by exciting the hostility of the
t English speaking peoples of the world
against Germany can England save her
' markets. Even should Great Britain pre
serve her territorial integrity her once
. overwhelming commercial superiority is
t doomed. There is no line of manufacture
r in which she is not losing her hold. Be
r tween German science and American
r ingenuity the industries of Great Britain,
> hampered by antiquated methods and
1 lack of enterprise, are being ground as
between the upper and nether millstone,
r Conscious of her weakness and unable to
avert the commercial disaster, Great
1 Britain is using her vast control over the
• cables and the newspapers in both hemls
pheres to sow the poison of suspicion
■ between the two great nations which
t threaten her most. In the United States
, she preaches the danger of German ag
gression. In Germany she whispers the
1 danger of boundless American ambition
In the United States Lord Salisbury's
i willing tools are told to declare that the
seizure of the Philippines by the United
States was absolutely necessary to curb
German aggressiveness in the orient. In
Germany Lord Salisbury’s subsidized
organs are made to foam at the mouth
over the "interloping” disposition of the
United States in the far east. Yet there
is no question but what Lord Salisbury
egged McKinley on to take the Philip
pines and then, turning on his heel, sold
ont American interests in Samoa to
Germany.
The puppets of the American state de
partment dance like Punch and Judy
whenever Lord Salisbury pulls the striug.
It is pitiful to acknowledge, bnt there
has been absolutely not a single event in
the international history of McKinley’s
administratson which has not been in
spired and controlled from Loudon. It is
impossible to name one to the contrary of
this statement.
McKinley hauled down the flag and
under the modus vivendi gave Great
Britain a slice of the Alaska panhandle to
which she was not entitled.
McKinley took the Philippines on
Lord Salisbury's suggestion against the
best advice and sentiment of his own
party aud has alreody lost 4,000 lives and
sunk $150,000,000 in the hopeless task of
their conquest.
McKinley allowed Lord Salisbury to
actually write the terms of the Hay-
Pauncefote treaty whereby the Claytou-
Bulwer treaty is resurrected from the
grave and the actual control of the Nic
araguan canal is practically vested in
Great Britain, for -the surrender of the
right of fortification by the United States
places its custody under the fleets of
Great Britain whenever war shall be
dec'ared.
McKinley has allowed this country to
stand before the world as favoring Great
Britain's war of extermination against
the Boer republics.
Thus the chapter runs and is capable of
indefinite extension. Yet so desperate
are McKinley’s prospects of re-election
that his leaders and backers will hesitate
at nothing that might serve to bring
about Republican success in November.
The country should now take warning
over the desperation which has seized 1
upon the Republican leaders. Only the 1
success of American principles at the 1
polls will save the country from its pres- 1
ent plight and from threatened disasters 1

A New Financial Policy and Its
Defects.
Hon. Wharton Barker, the Presidential
candidate of the "Middle-of-the-Road”
party, in his American of June 9 gives
f the public the benefit of his financial
theory. Mr. Barker cannot claim it as
’ original, for Coxey we believe was its
originator and explained the theory be
fore a committee of congress in minute
j detail. Like Coxey, Mr. Barker would
r get rid of gold and silver money and sub
e stitute a purely government paper cur
rency. In order to get this money issued
is the important part of the plan.
It must be issued direct to the people
for services rendered the government by
them. Mr. Barker, following Coxey’s
lines, would organize a vast system of
public works by building railroads, tele
graph and telephone lines, and a system
of irrigating works in the dry country
r west of the Missouri river. These works
' e would employ all labor not otherwise
occupied, aud in the payment of such
j. labor the government would put its
money into circulation.
Following this plan of issue is that of
e redemption, which would not be in gold
and silver coin but in "the net earnings
of the public works for the creation of
’ which it was issued. Out of such earu
n ings we would have it retired, thus mak
ing place for the issue of more currency.”
But what object would be served bj
b retiring this money if the same or similar
e money is to be issued to take the place of
e that retired ? And what is meant by the
, “net earnings” of such work which is to
1 redeem and retire such issue in place of
1- using coin for the same purpose ?
h Such money once in circulation would
not complete its cycle so readily as its
; champion of the plan seems to suppose.
*' It would go into other lines of private
r business aud refuse to be redeemed or
e retired.
. But let us try and imagine what would
’ take place as soon as the government
r ' commenced paralleling railroads. All
e the railroad companies in the country
ir would offer their roads to the government,
r . and in place of issuing new money to
build parallel roads the government would
n have 185,000 miles of railroads offered to
it it at the cost of their plant plus their
n watered stock.
The railroads are valued at about eleven
billions of dollars. Or that is what they
:r represent in stock and bonds, but their
e actual plant value, or the amount of
n money required to duplicate them, is
estimated to be about five billions of
dollars. The issue of five billions of
e money would close up the bankrupt sys
e tern at fifty cents on the dollar and is the
„ business method of closing up all bank
rupt estates; selling the porperty for its
actual market value and dividing the
d proceeds pro rata among the creditors,
e As that much new money suddenly put
,t into circulation would upset or demoralize
all existing business, it is more probable
a that two per cent bonds would be resorted
s to in place of legal tenders.
1- This would forestall the new work of
[1 railroad building for the idle bands. The
telegraph would be treated in the same
way The telegraph plant of the country
'■ is worth about twenty-five million dollars,
n but the stock is watered to over a hun
s dered millions. It would make the Mor
gans, Goulds, Vanderbilts, et. al. sweat
to receive twenty-five million two per
'• cent bonds for their lines, but there would
d be no alternative. Either that or see
their lines duplicated and a tariff for
service of one-fourth what is charged.
Twenty-five cents on the dollar would
i burn these millionaires worse than a fly
r blister, or about as bad as they have
~ been blistering the public for 10, these
many years!
e All this time we have not been able to
s get -any new government money into
e circulation on the Coxey-Barker plan.
. But there is a vast field, in fact an im
mense territory, for the grandest system
of irrigation the world has ever dreamed
1 of much less ever constructed.
1 This would afford work for a great deal
s of labor, such as grading and mecliauical
work, and the rents from the irrigated
• land would create a large annual revenue,'
5 and keeping the works in order would
t employ a great many laborers constantly.
; This appears to be the only field in which
the new system of finance proposed by
the Middle-of the-Road Presidential can
-1 didate could be initiated, and it seems
1 altogether feasible.
5 But why abolish gold money and keep
silver from the mints? Of these metals
we produce, or wrald prodace, abcut
: $200,000,000 annually at coiu value. The
nations of the world all use these metals
s for money purposes, and there is no sign
that they will cease toVlo so. The new de
■ velopments taking place in the old East
I make it certain that a large accession of
j nioney will be needed to conduct business
, >n the new fields, opening to improve
ment, and there is no money so accept
-1 able among the peoole of Asia as silver.
1 This Yankee nation wants all it can
. make out of its products, and silver and
, gold are among its most valuable pro
ducts. We could do without either for
our money in use, as seventeen years’ use
of greenbacks abundantly proved, but we
can never get full value for our silver
unless we remonetize it, and use it as
money till the world pays us its full legal
tender mint value, which they would have
to do and that very soon, as the United
States and Mexico hold a natural corner
on silver, producing about three-fourths
of the world’s annual supply.
But the Coxey-Barker plan of a govern
ment automatic currency has never been
tried and we are quite sure would not
work satisfactorily. By all plans that
have been suggested the banks are left in
full power to manipulate and corner the
money after it is out of the government’s
hands and among the people. They,
with their interest aud credit system, are
left in complete control of the finances of
the country, and would remain master of
the situation. The government must
establish banks for the use of the people
or the bankers will.
The people would be only too glad to
have the government establish banks for ]
their accommodation, and discount and
loan at a rate so low as to cover cost only.
This would break up the great interest
drag net which draws into the hanking
and money loaning class billions of the
people’s wealth. Last year they ran
through their cleariug houses ninety-four
billions of business, and every dollar rep
resented in that transaction drew interest
from the producers of wealth.
If the government did the banking
business gold aud silver would gradually
disappear as money in use, go to other
nations, and help raise prices and lift up
the laboring class the world over.
The security furnished by the borrowers
of money who are transacting legitimate
business, would gauge the demand for
money and keep prices level When
money was not wanted for leg timate
business purposes it would lie in the
hanks and not be seut to the large cities
to be used to gamble in stocks, which is
now the practice.
Government ownership of such natural
monopolies, or public utilities as railroads,
telegraphs, etc., would take billions of
fictitious capital from circulation in the
form of stocks and bonds and deal a death
blow to the gambling institutions of mod
ern business that run as stock markets.
When government competition at nom
inal rates of interest had wiped out the
private banker and his bank, the nation’s
stock of money could not be gathered
into the centers of population and fur
nished, by “call loans,” to stock gam
blers, while legitimate business is being
bled at every vein by the cupping glass
of bank credits.
Every grain of wheat our farmers raise
and every bushel placed on ship board
for export to Liverpool from India, Rus
: sia, the Baltic States and Argentina, is
used as poker chips for margin stakes in
. the produce exchanges, through the
hanks which make use of the people’s
I money to supply stock and grain gamblers
' with betting funds.
The high-roller gambling of tile stock
exchanges based on and made possible by
, modern banking methods and their credit
money, has made it well nigh -impossible
* for honest men to succeed in trade, and
1 every system of finance that turns the
. circulating mediatn over to the manage
ment of private bankers, stock jobbers
and speculators, but serves to aggravate
' present evils, till the producing people of
1 this and other natious of the civilized
. world will be borne down under a load of
n debt more than legitimate industry is able
to bear, when the collapse is inevitable.
* It is not “sound money” only that is
wanting—all money is sound the govern
f ment issues, but sound money tnanage-
I ment that is lacking, aud the whole
Republican financial theory which is
’ being forced upon the people by a sub
f sidized and mercenary press, is rotten to
. the core, and must so demonstrate itself
in the not distant future.
