lazs~ We are glad to see that our friend King,
of the Annapolis Gazette has done away with
the "patent inside" of his paper, and now, in
stead of an eight page is issuing four page
sheet, of large size and neat appearance. This
doing away with the "ready printed paper" we
consider the very best evidence of prosperity.
1t doesn't look as though a paper was very
prosperous when two pages Of it are already
printed when purchased, and the other pages
printed at the publication office The Gazette
is live paper and decidedly the best one pub
lished in Anne Arundel county

How CAN IT BE Done ?-There is considera-
BILE gain in the deposits of the New York banks.
On Saturday of last week they held $12, 72S, 1926
in their exchequers. Let the South and West,
by their Representatives in Congress, take the
proper steps to have the surplus in this and
other Eastern cities transferred to their locali-
ties until they take from the East the $2h, OOe,-
900 that she now holds that belongs to the other
sections. But let the South and the West take
the proper steps outside of Congress to bring
this currency among them. This must be done
by the establishment of banks or it must 90
there in exchange for something they have to
give for it. If it goes there for corn wheat, cot
ton or sugar, so much the better. Both will be
gamers by this, but if it must 60 there by the
establishment of banks, let us consider what is
necessary to be DONE Folks there must sub
scribe money as capital stock to establish
bank. They raise 100000. They take this to
New York, Philadelphia or Boston and buy
bonds. The 100000 worth of bonds are taken
to Washington and deposited in the Treasury
The Secretary of the Treasury calls from the
New York banks $50, 900 and gives it to the bank
esta )lishers for the 100000 worth of bonds
So the folks who furnish 100000 to establish
bank get back to their community only 800 900
in return for it. Patience, industry, endurance
and economy are the only legitimate road out
of the difficulties.

What a nice time the unblemished De-
mocracy has had in telling tales out of school
in consequence of the city extension fight.
They unwittingly spoke out loud and accused
their brethren of doing things that are by no
means reputable. How is this?
Philip Clayton, who was Assistant Secre
tary of the Treasury under Howell Cobb in
Buchan~n's administration. has been appoint
ed by President Grant, Consul to Valparaiso.
The Senate has confirmed the appointment.
He is from Georgia, was in the confederate SER
vice and has been q Republican since 1868
He is a small monument Of the amazing gener-
osity of a great people.

The CosT OF FENCE;.-This subject has been
frequently agitated in the newspapers and dis
cusSed at meetings of farmers clubs, but thus far
without resulting in the adoption of any pract-
cal plan to lessen the enormous expenses offences
There is in fact no way of doing this, but to dis
pense with the fences themselves, except such as
run along public highways, and are necessary to
enclose farm. The enormous cost of fencing
has been repeatedly stated, but it cannot be too
often brought before the public eye, and we there
fore copy from one Of our Pennsylvania exchang-
es the following data
'It is estimated from reliable data that there
are l56, 377 1921 rods of fence in the Stale of
Pennsylvania, the first cost of which is not less
than Sl79, 1874, 494, nearly one hundred and
eighty millions of dollars The annual cost of
keeping this vast amount of fencing in repair is
S9,883,078 The total cost of fencing, in the
81 States is 81, TAI, 549, 93l, putting the average
cost at only LOS per acre. 1t is estimated that
for every dollar invested in live stock, another
dollar is required for fences to resist their attacks
farm products and that the total cost of fences
is equal to the national debt upon which interest
is paid"
The remedy is very simple one if public pre-
JUDGE can be overcome. 1t needs but a law to
prevent stock from running at large, and an en-
closure of reasonable dimensions upon every
farm for its use, where it could be fed to better
advantage than to leave it roam over the fields.
That something of this kind will have to be done
before very long cannot be doubted. The forests
of the country are disappearing far more rapidly
than they can be replaced by new growths, and
the demands upon them is fearfully increasing
with the lapse of each year, so that the cost OF
fencing hereafter will be much greater than it
now is. 1t is believed that fences to the amount
of One Thousand Millions of Dollars can be dis
pensed with in the United States by some such
plan we have adverted to-

Maryland has two Adjutant Generals-as
tending for recognition. And they are both
amusing the public by calling each other reb-
els. Mr.. McBlair has sned out a mandamus
to direct Mr.. Bond to deliver up the office and
its archives to him. Mr.. Bond-in his answer
replies that Mr.. McBlair is incapable of
holding the office because he was engaged in
instruction and rebellion against the Federal
government while in the Confederate service.
1t must be gratifying to be called rebel by a
fellow rebel. 1t is good illustration of what
Democrats will do to obtain hold on Office.
1t certainly is their forte to be tenacious upon
this point.
The public debt of the United States was
decreased during the month Of April $685.
45l.4S. This is something better than we have
been doing for some time past, but nothing
like what should have been the case. In the
place of three millions per month we should
be paying about ten millions. Had the wise
financial counsels of Secretary Boutwell, been
acted upon this would have been the case
But instead of that timid Congressman were
in 'hot haste" to strike off tax after tax until
now we are scarcely able to reduce the debt at
all during the year, when it should melt away
at the rate of an hundred millions per annum.
There must be more revenue from some source
and it must be raised by more taxes of some
kind.
