The Requirements.

The necessities of the State Of Maryland ar,
those influences that have been the inspiration
and outorowth ofEepublicanism. Every one o
"no carries level head and sees tn,
r,Overty of enterprise and growth that surrounds
him must ask himself "why isit?" And he mus
ask what is its remedy. The simple transfer O.
the individual from our midst to the thriving
communities Of Republican Yankeedom will sug
gest the remedy. The comparison is Notifying
to any Maryland man who chershes pride fol
his State. With the resources, the opportuni
ties, the chances that a bounteous nature has
placed within our reach we are an age behind
others for whom gushing opportunities and ar
abundant consideration by Providence has don,
so much less.
What we want is the enterprise to make use
every advantage that has been placed in oul
way. tbs true we are coming to this slowly
Farmers used to think that corn, wheat and oat
and some hay was all that it was necessar,
for them TO cultivate. The raising of these con
stituted farming sum total of it ten, fifteer
or twenty years ago. Men are beginning-thos
who are devoting their brain work to the pur
suit-to learn that something more is necessary
to keep ahOat than simply doing what thei
grandfathers did years ago. Some folks are en-
gaging extensively in the milk business Others
are turning their attention to potatoes as one o
the crops that should not be neglected Others
are looking to growing fruit, market gardening
and things of that character. They are begin
ming to farm fewer acres and farm them better
They are beginning to read upon the subject and
to put their knowledge thus acquired into prac
tice. But there is nothing like SO much of thi:
as there should be.
Then we want more enterprise in the estab
lishment of manufacturing establishments. We
should not send all of our money out of the State
to purchase the implements with which we oper
ate our farms and other avocations. Let oul
capitalists shell out their dollars and erect more
machinery making establishments. Machine;
can be constructed cheaper in our midst thar
they can be built at distance and conveyed tc
our realms, if we have the means of doing it.
We want better school system and better

der that we may be lifted up to the plain of oul
destinies it is necessary to place the political ma
chinery of the State in the hands of those imbued
with the spirit of progress-those whose labors

hensive sense is what is required to do the bust.
ness. Place the State under Republican inlu-
ences and the influx we want will come with the
same facility that water seeks its level or ripe
fruit falls to the ground. Let the moneyed man
of the North feel that he shall live in the same
sort of political atmosphere with US he already
enjoys, and he will bless us with the advantages
of his money, brains and enterprise.
