To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
A printed circular, ADDRESSED to the taxpayers,
is being distributed, stating in effect that Dor

nifcant, for they show the rapidly in
creasing part which money plays in our
elections and our government. 1t is
of course perilous and revolutionary
tendency. because it destroys the moral
authority of the government and re-
lakes the sentiment of loyalty. Laws
made by legislators who have bought
their places and do not represent pub
lie sentiment have 10 moral sanction.
It is this fact which makes the advanc-
ing power of money in politics alarm
ing. Laws lawfully enacted are un-
doubtedly to be obeyed until the evils
of acquiescence have become greater
than those of resistance. This is the
traditional American doctrine Of rcvo-
luton. The will OF 4 majority which
is venal and not an honest majority
which is not felt to be morally binding
although for convenience the minority
may choose to assent.

THE BOHEMIA BRIDGE.

The matter of making the Bohemia
bridge free passage way is again being
aggitated, and we trust it may this time
be successful. A bill has been pre-
pared by Mr.. William S. Potter, of the
County Commissioners, and is now
about being presented to the Legisla
ture by him, with the endorsement of
the board, providing for the waiver Of
the claim of the State upon the Bohe-
mia bridge and for making it free. We
trust the Legislature will see this matter
in the right light, and promptly pass
Mr.. Potter's bill. Cecil is the only
county that has had no benefit of a
waiver of State claim upon any inter
nal improvement made under the law
of 1860. So far as we can call to mind
at this time, the waiver of the States
grant or loan of s15,s77 to the Bo-
hemia bridge will be the only bene-
fit Cecil ever experienced from the
State disbursement of 81 900, 900. Other
Eastern Shore counties have enjoyed
grants to railroads, and the State has
waived the claims, while Cecil has
never before asked any such consider
alton.
We think she is entitled to what she
now asks-that her citizens may pass
from one end of the county to the
other without being subject to an oner-
Gus tax for the privilege of crossing one
of her waterways. If this grant is re-
fused, what will the State be able to
realize upon its claim upon a line of
decayed piles and worn-out planking?
If the petition is granted, the county
will take charge of the bridge, and, as
a portion of its highways, keep it in
crder
Whether this effort proves successful
or not, the citizens of lower Cecil will
not be slow to appreciate the action Of
Mr.. Potter in the matter.

OUR NAVY.

Mr.. EDITOR If the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall and the majority of his COM
mittee have not lost all respect and devo-
tion for the Old Flag of the Nation, they
would not be so anxious to strike from
the naval appropriation bill nearly nine
millions of dollars, asked for by the De
partment and Naval Committee, to bnild
navy commensurate with our position
as a ration, among the other civilized
powers of the world. A navy to protect
the honor of the country and look after
the safety of its commerce in foreign seas.
With an overlooking Treasury and all
kinds of projects proposed to spend and
squandei the money, they refuse to vote
or recommend the means required for
this purpose, and yet permit an annual
addition of young officers to be added to
the list of now employed officers seek
ing duty. for want of ships to give them
employment, making our so called navy
ridicule and laughing stock to the
world. If a former head of the Navy
Department is accused of Squandering
the money placed under his control, in
building worthless ships, it is no reason
why. under proper restrictions, no more
appropriations should be made. Our na-
val list OF officers contains many disting
uished men, thoroughly competent and
trustworthy to act. as an advisory board,
to see that the vessels built are equal to
the improvement and fighting capacity
of the age, and also see that the money
is not used to reward politicians. Rear
Admira's s ohusfeGt, Simpson and several
others could be named to superintend the
construction of a navy that would not
disgrace us i'll the eyes of the world and
make US hang our heads with shame.
The writer has no pecuniary or other in
tereSt in the matter, save as an old sea
farer who has often and often again seen
our flag iusulted for the lack of navy
to defend and protect it. Look at our
present condition in the Chinese seas.
Not Il crusier met to engage the most
insignificant iron clad now watching the
events in that portion of the globe. 1t is
simply mortifying and disgraceful. l..

land journal the other day took cheer
full view of the cut in wages prevailing
or impending in that section, because
it was symptom of ''return to hard
pan, that would force all values down."
Unfortunately the rule does not go
round. If not enough food is grown
for near markets to supply near home
consumption, the market prices do not
for some time follow the decline in other
prices simply because they can resist
fall elsewhere. When the single item
of eggs, which used to be-within the
memory of not elderly people-twelve
cents a dozen, and perhaps eighteen to
twenty-five in winter time, has recently
gone to forty, fifty, sixty, and even sew
enty-fve cents per dozen and, when
it pays to import cargoes Of Holland
eggs at the risk of delay in the winter
journey, it is evident that the selling
prices of manufactured goods and the
rates of wages have no immediate in
fluence towards giving the factory hand
cheap eggs or other cheap food. When
as many hands shall have gone out from
manufacturing industries, and taken up
cheap lands in the east for farms, cattle
feeding, poultry yards, &c, as will give
better supply to the eastern markets,
then we shall arrive at something like
balance. At present the hard pan is
an uneven pan, and yet the leveling of
it lies near at hand in the development
of agriculture in petty culture" near
home. 'Petty culture" means in Eu
rope even such fine work on land as
may be done with spade tillage, and
raising fruits, vegetables, poultry, the
products of vineyards, of bees, nuts, and
the separate industry of cheese making.
The Cecil Whig., 1884-02-16

81 AM often asked says an intelligent
writer as to the amount of capital ne
cessary to start in farming. 1t is a
question which hardly admits of being
answered. l could name men who
have started on government grants with
almost absolutely nothing, and by
working for neighbors at first, and then
for themselves, have in very few years
reached a position of comfort. Again
l could name men who, after starting
with large capital, have found farming
failure. The same story can be told
all the world over. The shrewd, care
full man, with his small capital, outstrips
the reckless man with his thousands" !"
The Cecil Whig., 1884-02-16
INFLUENCE OF
CORPORATIONS.

The recent election of MIR. Payne, OF
Ohio, to the United States Senate,
largely through the use of his money
and that of the Standard Oil Company,
one of the most unscrupulous corpor-
ate monopolies in the country, has at
tracted increased attention to the num-
Der of Senators who owe their seats in
the Senate, to the active political in
fluence of large corporations. The
Chicago TRIBUNE thinks that the Sen
ate is losing intellectual power, and rep
1esentative character, and becoming a
merely plutocratic and therefore an
obstructive body. 1t fortifes its opin-
ion by asserting that ''the Union Pacific
Railroad has several Senators, the North
ern Pacific has one, the Pennsylvania
Railroad has two, Central Pacific has
two, the Georgia Railroads have one,
the lumber monopolists of Michigan
and Wisconsin have two or three, the
Chesapeake and Ohio, has one, the
Wilmington Match Company has one.
Behind every one of half of the portly
and well-dressed members of the Sen
ate can be seen the outline of some
corporation interested in getting or
preventing legislation, or of some syn
dicate that has invaluable contracts or
patents to defend or push"
Even more emphatically, the New
York TINES asserts that "there are to-
day sitting in the Senate of the United
States sixteen Senators who owe their
election entirely to the indirect use of
money and the exercise of corporate
power and influence in their respective
States. Why mince words? The last
Presidential election was determined
by the use of money. The Democratic
party cannot throw stones at the Re
publican harlot. They are not without
sin. They taught Republicans the art
in 1876. Barnum and mules carried
Indiana in the October contest of that
year. They were on hand again in
1880, but Dorsey and two dollar bills
were too much for a Connecticut Yam
kee and his mules. If MIR. c. P. |
Huntington can be compelled to ac-
count for the sIoo,oo he expended in
1876, it will be found that SIS 900 OF
that amount was a contribution to
campaign fund. 1t will further appear
that the contribution was not unCondi-
tionally made, but that the pledge was
exacted of Presidential candidate to
consider favorably legislation which
might be enacted in the interest of the
corporations Mr.. Huntington repre-
sented. If the secrets of Mr.. Jay
Gould's cabinet could be extracted or
distracted, it would appear that like
contribution was made by him by
similar pledge given at the same time
to the same parties who acted as the
go-betweens between the bosses of the
corporations and the Presidential aspir-
ant"
Commenting upon these assertions,
a prominent weekly pertinently remarks
| that "such facts as these are very sig
