tax repealed. Banks should concentrate their

reflections on Congressman, as he had some in

Mr.. Hayes, Mich, asked: Is it lawful to tax

comptroller of the currency shows the income
OF his Office from banks is seventy millions
more than expenses. Instead of going to Con-
gress and opposing Congressman, we should
educate the country up to the fact that the
banks benefit the laboring class.

THE MARYLAND PLATFORM.

The brief though incisive platform of the
Maryland Democrats is model of perspi-
Guilty. No useless words are employed to
express ideas, but every sentence is clear cut
and emphatic. It pronounces against any
further increase of State or federal debts, de-
nounces the electoral fraud of 1877, and
places the party squarely on record as the
champion Of States rights. The Republic
can party, it declares, has, in it, conduct of
national affairs, violated the fundamental
article of the constitution with reference to
the reserved rights of the States. 1t goes on
to say, in the arraignmen; of that organiza-
ton:
1t has p rovided by law for federal int fer
ence in State elections. 1t has assumed the
rightto confer on federal courts, supervisors,
marshas and special deputy marshals the un-
constitutional power of enforcing State laws
1t has deliberately sanctioned the unconstitu-
tiona! use of troops of the United States at the
polls in the several States. These are measures
of Capitalization which show q determined
purpose to change the organic character of the
government beqneathed to us by our fathers,
and such measures ought to be resisted by
every constitutional means within our power.
This is distinct enunciation of the issue
to be fought in the next campaign, and it
cannot be kept too constantly before the
people. 1t has been expressed by every
Democratic convention yet held-antago
nism to the centralizing tendency of recent
Republican legislation. The time may
come when the evil done in the past through
the attempt to subvert free government here
will be so manifest that all will be able to see
it as clearly as some do now, and the enor-
nifty of the crime sought to be committed
will overwhelm the country.
The issue of States rights is vital one.
On its maintenance will depend the future
destiny of our country whether 1t will con-
tinue to be government of the people, for
the people and by the people, or wheih her the
personal liberty of all citizens will reside in
the hands of a small cabal Of designing and
unscrupulous men at Washington. We
have progressed in the direction of the
overthrow of the rights of the people faster
than many people imagine. For the first
time in our history man fills the Presiden-
tial Office who is neither legally nor morally
entitled to it. The expressed wishes of the
people were reversed when Hayes was in
augurated. We have witnessed legislatures
duly chosen by the people disbanded at the
point of federal bayonets and persons not
elected placed in their seats. Al every cleo
ton We see corrupt and insolent emissaries
OF this usurping government standing at the
polls, and for pittance of five dollars day
driving legally qualified electors from the
polls. All these encroachments have but one
purpose-the overthrow of free government
and the establishment Of q monarchy. No
