If the Republican party is success
full this and next fall, the question of
free government may be set down as
settled from the encroachment of sa-
very, and the country may then turn
it's mind to the settlement of the few
remaining questions that are necessary
for the establishment of most salts
factory government for the whole peo-
PIE. Among them is that of banking
One of the very Objectionable features
that the system now recognized by State
laws is that of allowing the payment of
interest on deposits. The whole eeun-
Try feels the pressure of this system on
the business and industry OF the peo-
PIE. Fer example. if A has one hun
died dollars past him, be will take it to
bank aud deposit it and receive six, or
perhaps more per cent. than that on it.
lie will not loan il to B for less than
cent or two more, because the hank
promises to pay him back whenever he
asks 1t, whereas Il would require it for
stated time, and no less. The banks
by this system gather up nearly all
he loose noney, and the business
and industry of the country mus,
GO there to get money, aud there
must pay an advanced rate of interest
II is one of the great qaestions for the
near future. Governor Har;rznft has
alresdy turned his attention to the ques-
lion. Ee has already drawn the atten-
tion of the Legislature to the question,
and asked it to act on it, so as to stop
the psymen. Of interest on deposits by
the banks By voting for him ycu are
certain that the question will be again
presented 10 the Legial.tVre.

THERE is to be Democratic mass
meeting at the Court House on Friday
evening next. Their speakers will
doubtless have great deal tc say about
the taking of interest on State funds
on deposit, and the management of the
State Treasury, though, of course, the
Democratic State Treasurers who did
such things may be expected to be left
out, and you may be sure they will not
condemn the Democrats here who have
been cursing Stambaugh for saying that
be will not shave county orders. What
a msgnificentG fectacle it will be to see
and hear speakers denouneing the tax.
ing of interest on deposits, and to see
and hear others around in the crowd
saying Stamoaugh is a Ounce, and so
forth, for saying county orders should
not be shaved.

The last national Democratic admin
istration the country had was that OF
James Buchanan. During its four
years OF management it fell every year
IN debt. and ct the end of the terra it
was $50, 900, 900 in debt, and United
States paper on the market at u per
cent. discount. All this, with seven
States in rebellion, was passed over to
the Republican party in the spring of
1861. A nation in debt, State in
debt, and a rebellion organized, was
what the Republican party received
from the Democracy when it was
voted out of power. If the Democ-
racy had ruled this country few years
longer, there would have nothing
of its institutions worth having for the
masses been left. Let every citizen
who loves the institutions of his coun-
try attend the polls, aud see to it that
the men who did these things are MT
reinstated.

THE howls of the Democrats in Ohio,
that they were beaten by money and
fraud, would be amusing, we're they not
evidently uttered for the purpose of
hiding their own fraudulent misdee1s.
The fact that the Democrats we're in
power proves that the Republicans
could not practice the frauds upon them
that are charged. But this aside, a
telegram to Thompson, Chairman of the
Dsmocrati, State Committee, was in
tercepted, inquiring, "woud thou
sand majority In Wood county help US
out 2" The reply was that a thousand
would help. This and other frauds that
have come to light, show that the Re-
pupican vio'V.y ia ti.-s o.-so "-- :.
the face of frauds evidently perpetra-
ted. The cry OF repeaters was started
before the canvass closed, as means
of diverting attention, but the evidence
is too clear to admit of ooubt as to the
real facts in the case The Democra-
cy tried the fraud business, and failed
at that.-PiHs5wgh Gazette.

Governor Hartranft at Mt. JOY.

Next Friday, when the Democratic
orators at tie n,ass meeting in lhe
Court House are dwelling, for the pur-
pose of Misrepresentation, on the quss-
ton of the Sinking Fund of this Com
monwealih, it will be well to bear in
mind what Governor Hartrsnft SAID on
that question last Saturday at Mount
Joy. He said i:
Some of the papers try to make it
appear as If the sinking fund is being
squandered, lost or stolen but every
dollar is paid out regularly on warnnt
to NEE; the appropriations by the Leg
islature. When the Republicans put
down the tax on real estate 1t so b.s-
pened that the corporation tax, assigned
by law TO the sinking fund, made it
larger than was necessary, whilst the
general fund was not sufficient to meet
all the demands upon it. Then the
commissioners attempted to diver. a
portion of the sinking fund to the gen.
eral fund, but the Legislature, under
the lead of Senator Wallace, refused to
pass such an act, intending thus TO
force US back TO the tax on real estate.
The Republicans now claim credit for
relieving real estate and levying the
tax on corporations We did this be-
cause real estate was heavily loaded
with local taxation, which was not the
case with corporations. Wallace con-
tended that the sinking fund could not
be disturbed by the Legislature, but
we did right in diverting, because the
spirit OF the Constitution was more than
fulfilled, because from one to TWO mil
liops of the debt was paid, and We were
compelled to use striking fund money
that was over and on hand to meet the
wants of the government. Our posi-
tion as commissioners of the Sinking
Fund was not a pleasant one. But, as
one of the Commissioners, l contend
that we did our duty, for the debts, in
whatever shape, had to be paid, l
speak of this because feel that l cm
very much misrepresented. In my an
nusl message | explain this matter fully
And vet, il the face of the fact that
the general fund was insufficient, the
Legislature appropriated million and
a quarter. They might as we'll have
made it four millions, because there
was no money to pay it, and therefore
the Commissioners were forced either
to take money from the sinking fund OF
else LET the public charities 60. Before
We acted We gave them notice that il
they wanted their appropriations paid
they must divert, and this they could
have done, for there was an excess of a
million, and yet they refused to make
the transfer. II was fortunate, indeed
that there was just enough in the gen
eral fund to save the soldiers orphans
schools.

The distant object of the Demo
cratic leaders who advocate imitation is
to SO glut the country with paper money
that 1t will fall into contempt, or that
so much of'it shall be issued that it will
be plain that 1t cannot be redeemed,
and then reaction will set in against
1t, and IT will be repudiatcd by the
country, as was Continental money
Ohio voted against repudiation. So
will Pennsylvania next Tuesday. Truth
and honesty of purpose was strongest.

builders, but it could have easily been
done without in these times when the
whole country is struggling to get out

ONE of the features of the banking
law that is highly Objectionable TO the
country and is hard ou business people,
is the paying of interest on deposits BY
the banks. Governor Hartranft has on
several occasions enjoined it on the
Legislature TO frame law against the
paying OF interest on such deposits.
Vote for Hartrauft, and insure the
pressing ct this great question on the
mind of the Legislature.

| SUICIDE OF MURDERER.-Chas. Sadler
who was arrested and committed to prison at
Port Tobacco, Charles county, for shooting
Robert Davis, August H. was found hanging
by the neck dead in his cell on Sunday last
by one of the guards of the prison going his
morning round. He gave the alarm at once,
and physician was sent for to examine the
man, who said that life had been extinct for
four or five hours. The suicide usually wore
q common leather strap around his waist,
which he used instead Of suspenders. 1t is
thought he took this strap some time during
Saturday night from his waist and tied one
end of it to one of the bars of his cell and
fastened the other tight around his neck, and
then drew himself up three or four feet and
let himself fall, thus breaking his neck.
The democratic convention of Somerset

Outten who resides short distance from
Newtown, Worcester county, expired last
Tuesday Of lock. jaw. Mr.. Outten, week be-
fore last. unfortunately caught his hand in a
cider mill, resulting in its being fearfally
mangled. A few days afterwards the arm
became alarmingly inflamed, and although
every effort was made by two experienced
physicians to relieve the sufferer, it resulted
as above stated.
Mr.. Thomas DeRockbrune, highly re-
spected citizen, died at his residence near
Centreville, Queen Anne's county, on Sunday
Of last week, aged eighty-three years. He
served in the war of 1872, and was member
Of Captain Henry Story's company, and took
part in the action at "Slippery Hill," near
Queenstown, in 1913.
The commissioners of Queen Annes coun-
ty have declared levy Of 673 cents on the
$l00 for the present year. The State tax is

early peach trees. g4T5 r4sgrf5
Middletown transcript., 1875-09-04

CNtsTy 1nem D0sCn.-The effect of such q
peach crop Of the season is shown in the fac,
that good number of trees are soon to be Gu,
down. 1t is the experience of many of the
most intelligent and thoughtful growers tina,
the interest in peaches has been imposed upon
by too extensive planting. What this fall
will witness can only be conjectured at pres.
ent, but there are few farmers that ALREADY '
intend to reduce their orchards or cut them
down entirely. Among the former are
Aessrs. Thomas Clayton and Thos. Houston,
residing near Mt. Pleasant, both of whom are
making preparations TO cut their orchards
away, leaving only enough Of the best varie-
ties to make the fruit pay them. Mr.. Clayton
has purchased twelve axes to complete his
work.
C0nsmised to Jail.-On Wednesday evening
tramp was assaulted near town, by two
companions, and his money stolen from his
pocket. One Of these two assailants, James
Welch, then went to the Delmarvia drying
house, and on being elected for drunkenness,
commenced an assault on the door, and after
wards threatened the life Of Mr.. Charles E..
Jones. This gentleman had a warrant issued
for Welch's arrest and officer Heald proceed
ed to serve it, when be was resisted by the
tramp and it was only by severely Furnishing
him that be at last consented to 90 to the
magistrate. Squire Walker gave Welch q
hearing, at which Mr.. Jones swore his life
against him, and in default of $500 bail, he
was committed to New Castle jail. This fel-
low is desperate, and an introduction to our
whipping-post will have the effect of reducing
his savage disposition.
In the afternoon Welch's companion was
also arrested on the charge Of threatening the
life Of Mr.. Jones, and after hearing was
sent to Jail on the evening train. Thus two
examples Of oar average tramp is given.
