ORGANIZATION BRINGS VICTORY.

square fight, bold course, a thoroughgoing
policy and an invincibIe determination TO win
in the coming campaign are the indispensibles
to success. Without these our efforts will be fu-
tile our labor will become the righteous con-
tempt of our opponents, who have won more
frequently through our misdoings than by vir-
tue of their own sagacity and political prudence.
The achievement of a signal victory this fall in
the State of Maryland is not beyond our grasp.
But to win we must do more than sit quietly
down aud wait for victory. If we do this the
Greeley party will carry off the prize while they
laugh at our lacking wisdom. 1t becomes TO
organize at once. Our organization must be a
complete one. 1t must be thorough in its every
appointment 1t must extend to every voter.
1t must stir an enthusiasm in the ranks of the
party and that enthusiasm must be kept alive by
constant work and the infusion of the idea of
wish to be understood that it will not do for US
to lay upon our oars and wait until the Greeley
men have put their ticket in the field. We must
not expect to gather our strength after that and
out of the disappointed ones of that party. If
we do this the Greeley party will have carried
off just that element to which we must look for
success. And this will be done not because that
class of people do not desire to join our ranks,
but because the persistent activity and the i'm
Fortunate solicitation o. Greeley politicians have
induced them to join our opponents while we
were standing idly by doing nothing to induce
them to come to US. This is the secret of their
success. They have set US an example worthy
of our emulation in this respect.
You may depend upon it, felow-citzens, there
is no victory for US without organization and this
cannot be had without work. To make work
effective in November it must begin now. And
it must be pushed with energy and vim until
the votes are counted on election night. There
is material in the State that will give US victory
But it must be worked up by complete Or
ganizalion.

A TRUE BILL

''Only persons of true, moral integrity can be
relied on to administer public affairs with that
impartial fidelity and honest economy calculated
to prevent increasing crime and taxes, and to pro-
perty, person and life."
This is one of the fourteen reasons given in the
"circular to the good citizens OF Baltimore why
they should attend the primary elections"-
When we reflect for moment that it requires
cur most intelligent and upright men to admin
lister our affairs best, we can arrive at no other
conclusion than that this class of people should
be in attendance at the primary meetings where
these selections are made. AS stream cannot
rise above its source so the influences that flow
from the primary meetings cannot become better
than they are there. Nothing can be truer than
that "only people of true moral integrity can be
relied on" No other man gives any safety in
public position. ANY other endangers the well
fare of the community that he undertakes TO
serve. To have the best men at the front in the
offices, this class must attend the primary cleo
tons. To do this we know that many people
must make a sacrifice. One whose hours are
worth scores of dollars perhaps, prefers to attend
10 his pecuniary affairs to going to a primary
election to exert his influence for the selection OF
worthy candidates. This is taking care of ones
interest, but not the interest of the community
And we are of the opinion that it is the duty of
the rich man to consider how his condact effects
the common veal and to do his duty TO his fellows
by protecting their interest as best he can There
are scores and hundreds of rich folks in New
York city who would ha,-- y; - isz---17;1
they had paid proper attention to the primary
elections and prevented the assertion of the Tam
many thieves to power and control. The city
would have been saved the disgrace and millions
of money that came out of the pockets OF the tax
payers. These same people after being pillaged
o: their millions had to put their own hands to
the wheel and give their aid and influence to dis
place the thieves that were allowed to get posses
sion of the government because these " good citi-
zens' allowed them by their neglect to do it
"Good citizens, your deares; interests and most
sacred rights demand that you attend the prma-
ry meetings

IMPORTING GEwGAws.-The foreign goods i'm
ported into New York for the week ending
March 3lst, were estimated at fourteen million
dollars Over three and half million were
dry goods and less than ten and a-half were
general merchandise. Merchants appear to
believe that Americans can consume and pay
for an unlimited amount of foreign mapufac-
lures but they will probably find th~ idea
unsound, and that day of severe reckoning is
not far in the future. Since the first of Janua-
ny we have exported $l3,347,3lS in gold and
silver This is at the rate of $50, 1886, 272 year.
Besides this there are indefinite thousands of
prosperous citizens of the United States in
Europe spending American gold. There are
no statistics showing the amount of this drain
on our precious metals; but it is higher in
millions than even we'll informed man would
be likely to believe.
