That Mecklenburg Declaration.

The 10th anniversary of the fam
Gus Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence was celebrated in we
ancient county of Mecklenburg in
the old North State on the 18th inst.
A great deal has been written and
said about this Declaration ante,
dating the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, written by Jefferson and
published by the Continental Con-
gress July 4th 1776. Neither JEFF
ferson or the Mecklenburg people
can lay just claim of originality to
the famous papers. They but ex-
press the consesus of the public at
the time. The sentiments, and
doubtless much of the language,
were in the mouth of every intelligent
patriot of that day. In political cir
Giles there is no doubt but the same
ideas were expressed daily long
time before Jefferson embodied them
in the famous Declaration Thomas
Jefferson being the most graceful
and forcible writer of his fellow
members comprising the Continental
Congress, he was doubtless on this
account chosen to give expression to
language and sentiments which had
become patent among the people
Any person who is enough of an
antiquarian to possess the pamphlet
entitled Common Sense" written
by Tom Paine before the war broke
out, will find the sketch of declara.
ton which he recommends to Con-
gress, which the Jefferson document
much more resembles than it does
the Mccklenberg paper. In fact
Paine's and Jefferson's are almost
identical. Paine and Jefferson were
very intimate friends and colaborers
in the cause of Independence, the
latter was of course entirely familiar
with the contents of the Common
Sense pamphlet. Thomas Paine
was one of the most powerful writer's
of that period, and the way he han
dies King George, applying such
epithets to him as the royal beast"
would delight Dana of The New York
San. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence was not an original idea OF
Jefferson's or of the Mecklenburg
patriots, but the embodied expires,
sions of the day put into beautiful
and expressive language by the pol
ished pen of Jefferson, and in crude
form by the citizens committee of
Mecklenburg county, Thos. Paine
had written the same declaration
before ejtLer of those famous his.
torical parties, and in language as
vigorous and expressive as Jeffer.
sons, if not so polished.

A SPECIAL Pet of Government.

This government of ours has sew
eral special pets, and among these
royalty cared for there is none that
fares better than its whiskey pet
1t has warehouses especially con-
structed for the accommodation of
this favored pet, with officers under
government pay to protect and guard
the buildings and their contents.
The whole country is picketed to
see that no other person shall sell a
gallon at a reduced price and estab-
lish competition in the rum sellers
hme mar ket to bring down the price.
Uncle Sam fosters the rum manufac-
turer by giving him credit for 80 cts.
on every gallon of liquor in the ware
house, for three years. On this 80
cents. which is not demanded till
the manufacturer has found Gus
toner for his goods, the government
enables the distiller to collect inter
est and profit. His gallon of whis.
key, which cost Is cents to make,
the government, by protecting him
from competition in the home mar
ket, insures him at the end of three
years a profit of not less than $500.
All the capital in goods the distiller
has in stock is the cost of manufac-
turing which is placed at Is cents a
gallon. This is protection indeed, of
an industry the most accursed of any
the sun shines on. For subsidy to
the government of 80 cents gallon
its strong arm is thrown round the
liquor monopoly, while it robs every
community in the country. The
government is in the habit of protect.
ing everything that is rich and pros
porous, but to the men of honest toll
it grants no fayors nor heeds their
cry for justice.

Landlordlsm.

Russell A. Alger landed in Detroit
at the close of the war without O
cent. He now owns 200 square
miles of pine land in Michigan and
is worth $2O,000,0O0, and believes in
tariff on Lumber to ''protect Amer
lean workmen."
The pine woods of Mississippi
belong to whom?" asked a lumber
king at the Fifth Avenue yesterday.
To Mississipians you suppose no
doubt. But there are pine barons
and pine barrens both in Michigan.
and in consequence of the latter the
former have begun to buy up all the
timber they can find anywhere for
sale. They already control Mich
gan commercially ard politically.
When they get State or two more
in their hands they will be able to
form political lumber trust. These
men now control the lumber interest
interest OF Mississippi, but they have
let Its politics alone so far. They
nave also bought heavily of pine
lands in Georgia and Alabama.
General Alger and his friends have
gone in largely in investments on
the Pacific slope. Alger now owns
the biggest tract of redwood land on
the coast.-1he Standard.
The remedy to head off this system
of landlordism which is fast absorb
ing the United States in its wheat
lands, its pasture lands, it's mineral
and timber lands. will be found in
the "single tax" or tax on land val
ues- In place of this increment
created by the community going into
the pockets of land SPECTATORS and
monopolies. it will by that system be
turned into the public treasury and
take the tax off of labor.

The Gold Tourists.

The great American summer pill.
grimage to Europe is beginning
which will draw seventy to hundred
millions of gold from the Treasury
and banks to spend in Europe. This
same crowd are found mostly on the
side of the monometal or gold stand
ard party and opposing the remon
citation of silver. And their CHIEF
stock argument is that the free
mintage of silver would drive gold
out of the country The demone
tization of silver enabled this class
to take more gold out of the country
and return nothing for it than any
other cause that can be named. The
class who 90 to Europe to spend the
summer and American gold, are the
class who have fattened on the low
prices of produce that has been
b ought about by demonetizing silver
in 1878, by which means the bond
and debt holders have been enabled
to purchase twice as much OF every
thing with tt cir interest. and con.
iscate property for the debt placed
upon it by mortgages when money
they loaned had scarcely half it's
purchasing power that il has to day.
BY this juggle the classes against
the masses, through our law making
power, they compel the masses to
pay twice as much as the contract
CLAIMED when it was made. measured
by values in products and labor,
and by this means the demonetiza
ton of silver has aided the classes
to carry gold out Of the country to
spend for their personal enjoyment,
which returns nothing to the country
but autocratic notions which stimu-
lates greed and further efforts for
class legislation,

No Law to Punish Official Thieves

The present deplorable condition
of Maryland's rulers and custodians
of her funds, is the strongest protest
that can be made against party
vassalage and bigotry. 1t is sure to
place rogues and imbecils in posses
sion of public affairs. The state pre-.
sents the spectacle of governor who
is such blockhead as to haye never
sought to learn the duties of his
office; of a comptroller of the Trea.
sury who never bothered his head to
know anything of the public tressu.
ries; Of secretary of State who di'.
not know or care that the Treasurer
was serving without authority and
without bond; Treasurer who used
the states money for years as his
own private property, and spent
$4,000 of the public funds; of a
state without law 20 punish the officer
who robbed its treasury. This is
what party bigotry has done for
Maryland and will do for any other
state under any party which can
bind the people to vote a party
ticket blindly. The rogues are sure
to get control and place themselves
on the ticket Thus will it continue
to ever be while the voter will con.
tinue to vote for every man nominal
ted by his party without regard to
qualification or honesty. To beat
the other party is the political bigot 8

free, intelligent Americans could be-
come such slaves but it is solumD

A Political Barometer.

A very good way to determine the
merit of political questions which
the ordinary citizen does not fully
understand is to ascertain who the
most active men in pushing such
measures are, what is their business
and standing, wealth, &C. BY this
test the true merits of most political
questions can be pretty accurately
determined.
