L L. D., New York, a pamphlet of
48 pages with the above title. Mr..
Cooper desires
First. A national paper currency, issued
solely by the government, and made the
only legal tender, receivable for all taxes
and dues, and fundable at any time for an
equitable rate of interest, 10y being made
interconperti5s with the bonds of the gov
eminent.
The Uolune of this currency must be de-
termined by law as per capita.
Second. A tariff not simply for revenue,
but made discriminating and helpful to all
the industries of the country, where the
raw material and the labor can be furnish
ed by our own people.
Third. A "civil service" divorced from
party politics, and organized for the pub
lie service, as are the departments of the
army or navy, purely on personal qualifi-
cations and thorough fitness. The offices
to be held during good behavior, on mod
crate salaries, but pensions provided for all
disqualified by age or sickness, and pro-
vision made for the widows and orphans.
These propositions are elegantly
elaborated by the great philanthropy
list, and m ust make an impression up
on the public mind, already largely
turned in the direction of some salts
factory and permanent settlement OF
the Issues treated.
A VERY IMPORTANT NATTER
The voters of Allsgany county are
colled upon at the ensuing election to
vote for or against the issue of six per
cent. bonds, not exceeding $4,000,
for the purpose of er acting an Insane
Asylum for county uses. This is pro-
vided for by Chapter 2o7;; Acts of
1880.
In order that voters may cast their
SURFACES intelligently statement is
appended showing cost of keeping
taUenty-nime insane paupers under
present system
Montevue Hospital, 0 insane
paupers from Allegany county,
q $3.50 per annum. ..........$1 $4,000
Maryland Hospital, 12 @ $780,. 100000
Mount Hope Hospital, s q $175 100000
lOLal. .......... .pf,ooU.Uu
AS a matter Of economy it would
seem that the people should authorize
the issue of the bonds, and as one of
humanity it is especially desirable
that our unfortunates should be held
in our own keeping, within easy reach
of and under the supervision and as
sistance Of their friends.
Vote for the issue of the bonds.
Moreover, let the money levied for
the support of these poor people be
spent at home, among our own trades
men, in our own midst.
Vote for the issue of the bonds.
The Baltimore Sun, felicitating
itself upon the success of the late Gel
ebration, naturally tails into some ap-
propriate remarks concerning the flu
ture growth of the city. Among
other things it says:
The industries we possess are not only
many in number, but are already estab-
lished on a sound, substantial basis, and
are solid nucleus that tends to attract
others. "The prosperity Of England"
said Mccullough, "is based upon her coal
and iron" "Without these her manufac-
turing Industries would never have taken
the lead in the markets of the world, and
her ships would have found but small en-
ployment as ocean carriers; for, unlike
the United States, she has not only no sur
plus of the products of the field and the
forest for export but has not enough OF
breadstufs and provisions to feed her own
people" Baltimore is especially well situ-
ated for the promotion of manufactures
and for the extension Of her commercial
relations with foreign countries. We
have abundance of iron ore in our hills,
and bituminous coal of the best quality for
smelling it and for the generation of
steam.
Yet nothing indicating the pres
ence and industrial Importance of the
article last named was found in the
great trades pageant. Bituminous is
confessedly an essential basis for man
ufacturing growths, but as an article
Of display it wasn't worth even the
poor compliment of reminder.
In the -Ne,Us' treatment of the
trainmen's trouble the idea of the
company's right to punish its en-
ployees seems to obtain credence and
currency. Where the right comes
from is not mentioned. The State,
the creator of corporations, confers
no such rights upon anybody; these
it reserves to itself-to be inflicted
only after trial and conviction of
