history Of the old scorld is surely and moi
slo,oly taking firm hold upon all the ma
terial interests of the producers of this
country. Yes, consuming everything, and
if reform is not brought about soon your
children aud mine will be reduced to q
state of positive serfdom.
THE GAME OF GENERALIZATION
is being adroitly and sharply played; a
few more such hands as have already been
shown during the last decade will decide
the contest in favor of capital and against
labor.
Again, the capital or money of the coun-
try is protected by law and otherwise, and
the laboring and producing interest are
compelled to bear the burdens of the gov
eminent, in consequence of the unjust dis
elimination in favor of money, and against
productive industry in the assessment and
collection of taxes, the collection of duties
on imports, of which the producers haye
in the end, nearly if not quite all to pay.
We very we'll remember when in the
darkest days of the rebellion, when the
government demanded and took by right
our kinsmen and friends and sacrificed
them on the bloody field of battle for the
preservation of our government, they were
taken upon such terms as the government
chose to give, which was in itself all right,
But how was it when the government
needed and was obliged to have the money
of the country to defray the expenses of
the war. 1t was not pressed into the SER
vice like
THE SOULS AND BODIES OF MEN
were, but the capitalists magnanmously
and of their own free will came forward,
demanded and received the faith and
pledge of the government for two dollars
and its interest for one, thereby doubling
| the power of money at single bound, and
secured it against taxation for any purpose
whatever.
And even then their greed was not sat
isfied. they demanded and made to their
own liking the present infamous banking
law that further robs the people of more
than twenty millions of dollars annually,
and as circulating medium it is not bet
ter if as good as the bonds deposited for
its security would be for which the banker
draws his six per cent gold interest semi
annually and then loans his currency at ten
per cent, pocketing his fifteen per cent. on
his doubled capital, or about thirty per
cent, on the original investment. Count
ing in the profits Of the manipulation
which the bankers made by the sixty and
ninety days process of compromising inter
est it is still more Thus it is plain that
NON PRODUCING CAPITAL HAS DOUBLED
yes, trippled in power in few short years,
whilst productive industry has only in
creased the wealth of the country at the
rate of about three per cent. per annum,
no well informed statisticians place the in
crease above three aud one half per cent.

Corporate Election.-Thc a

corporate EIccl1OHs-l nc anIu-
al election for Mayor and Councilmen of
Frostburg recurs in few weeks. As yet,
we have heard but little as to candidates.,
and this little indefinite. Good names have
been mentioned for the positions named
above, by citizens of various personal predi
lections, but no concert of action has been
attempted. To carry the object of obtain
ing an enterprising and effective board of
corporate officers, this point should be a
matter of immediate attention. 1t should
be desired to have all sections of the town
duly represented by their best men.
In this connection we are glad to note
the wide prevalence of sentiment to who'll
~ discard politics in the selection of the
board. This is step exactly i'll the right
direction, and we hope to see it carefully
and rigidly pursued. Political considera-
tons can have nothing whatever to do with
municipal affairs but, under the exist
ing custom Of permitting them to control
our selection, they doubtless frequently lose
for US good officers. We, therefore, want
tHc Dcst Hlcll vi bOtil Pul N Nh'r
even if they are politically inharmonious,
cannot surely be antagonistic upon the well
known, and urgent needs of the town con-
tinually pressing for appropriate provision
At this juncture and in fact for some
years to come, it is particularly necessary
We should enlist the counsel and admins
tration oftour very best men. mall proha
bilty the present Legislature will authorize
the issue of bonds by our corporation to the
amount of $50, 900 for water purposes. This
work, of itself will involve unusal care and
responsibility and should be entrusted to
men of business capacity and circumslcc-
ton. 1t is true, the same enactment will
confirm the appointment of a board of ST.
pervisors, gentlemen in every way safe and
worthy of confidence, but this in no wise
does away the want of Council of equal
calibre; it rather furnishes an argument
in favor of meeting one good selection with
another.
1t is now the duty of our citizens to talk
this matter over and mature conclusions
worthy of the important object of providing
an administration suitable to our munich
pal needs.

Attach m ent 1.nWS.--Ihe pubic
mind of Maryland has been considerably cX-
ercised over the bill recently enacted by
our Legislature, raising the exemption of
wages from attachment for debt from $40
to 800 This proposition has been favored
by parties who want reduction of business
transactions to as nearly the "cash system
as possible, and opposed by others who dis
Germ additional oppression to the laborer and
protection to scoundrels who buy withon, the
intention Of paying. The one hopes indirect
ly to abridge the indulgence of creditors; the
other directly to maintain collection by legal
process to the farthest amount.
Many twosidcd questions are not equally
balanced, and this is one of them 1t may
seem hard to many men to have their usual
credit shortened or denied on account of an
enactment like this; it might appear that
our law makers are specially dcvising meas
ures oppressive to the poor, and so on. Bat
when the workings of the system puts sur
plus cash in their pockets; when few
months of stringcncy is followed by compc-
tcnce, comfort and independence they do
not feel 80 badly over fanccd wrong in
fact the former complaint proves confessedly
groundless as the only restraint incurred
Is upon extravaganza. Forced to continc
themselves and families to the nccessarics,
they find as credit shortens the family fund
increases, until the law is acknowledged as
unexpectedly blessing.
Thus, the tendency of the measure is to
the ultimate benefit of those who depend
upon credit for supplies. The intcntionmay
have been to exempt employers from the
vcxatious annoyance of attachments of and
sQua bibles over wages in their hands but
good results to the employee is none she
less assured, as he finds his honor thus made
more and more the basis of credit As be
oppressive discrimination against the poor
man; he may even compare laws made for
the regulation of his conduct, with those
affecting the rich, and, even though finding
inequality, he must eventually acknowledge
the measure fraught with pecuniary and
moral advantage, if it does not actually
lead him to conclude that it would really
be better if all statutory laws for the collcc-
ton of debts were obliterated from the code
In this way, what little credit existed would
be solely upon the grounds of most undoubt
ed business probity
The effect of system like this in all de-
partments of business would be celebrating
indeed. Merchants could afford to buy and
sell low; to obtain the greatest number o
patrons and to establish uniform prices tc
uniform customers.
1t may not be easy for some people to sec
it, but the increased difficulty of collecting
debts as certainly tends to the cash system
as some of our Congressman say "contrac
ton of the currency gravitates to specie
resumption" The principles are the same
and the results must be likewise May
both suspicious periods soon come!

Working Tor Others.

It was stated atthe Agricultural Con
gress, lately held in Atlanta. that the
crop OF 100000 bales of cotton
brought s23, 900, 900 less than the crop
of 100000 bales. SO. in order tc
enjoy her old luxury of exclusive cot.
ton raising. the South paid the middle
men and spectators the handsome
premium OF S23, 900, 900 in money and
1,500, ,000 bales of cotton. II it was
pleasant thus to work for others, /,
wns costly. Had the labor, capital
and thought thus thrown away been
applied to manufacturing the staple
and in the production of food crops
and rearing OF stock aud improvement
OF land, We should not have to chroni.
Gle oases OF deetitution, prostration OF
business. scarcity Of money and in
oreaeing discomfort. The recommen-
dation OF the National Grange to the
cotton States to plant only one.third d
the usual area in cotton was wise
one. The rains, storms aud frost have
come, as it were, to teach tho same
lesson. Perhaps we shall learn it
after while. The idea, no donbt,
has fully entered the agriculture mind,
but the difficulty seems to lie in
concert of action. How to induce
each cotton planter to reduce his crop
one.half or two-thirds-that is the
question. He would sgree to do so,
perhaps. provided it was absolutely
certain that every body else would do
the same. Some agency which would
make the plan universal and bring it
home to each Individuals mind as an
obligation and duty, is the great
desideratum. There can be no better
than the Grange. Ae it increases in
authority and influence, it should ad-
dress itself strenuously to the satisfac-
tory solution of this difficult problem.
We trust that it will follow up its re-
com mendation, and secure the needed
CO. operation among planters. if poss.
BILE, at the planting of the next crop.
