A CALL.

The voters of Cecil County
who are opposed to saloon rule
in our county affairs, and not
in favor of supporting and en-
couraging by their votes the
corrupt and debasing infu-
ences that are prevalent in
debating nominations, are in
vited to call a meeting for con-
sultation and counsel at Elk
ton, at an early day, with a
view to the nomination of a
ticket that shall be acceptable
to the citizens of the county
who care more for an honest
administration of our county
affairs than for the success of
self seeking aspirants who de-
nand election as pay for past
services.
We are requested to publish the
above Call and make such suggest.
ions to the same as we think advis.
able. In order to give direction to
such q ticket as the above Call pro-
poses, it will be necessary that two
hundred voters attach their names to
petition asking that such ticket
have a place on the ballot to be cast
under the present election law. If
enough voters are ripe for such a
movement as the above Call sug-
gests they are requested to send their
names to the MIDLAND JOURNAL
office, and when sufficient number
of names has been received indicat-
ing the desire on the part of the pub
lie for such movement, notice will
be published of the time and place
for holding said convention. If the
people seem to desire such a move
ment by making their wishes public
in the above manner, we would sug
gest that the opportunity for some
needed reforms are offered. County
expenses are still maintained at war
prices. The fees are the same, and
the best offices are farmed out and
twice the amount paid for the service
which should be. Sheriff, clerk, reg.
lister and States attorney should all
be cut down 80 to fifty per cent and
candidates nominated under an in
dependent call should be pledged to
turn into the county treasury all
moneys arising from fees above a
specified sum. Fifteen hundred dol.
lars with assistant, is sufficient SAL
airy for the chief clerk, and other
offices should be reduced in like
proportion.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. D. {

WASdlNGIONs ~. ~.
To THE EDIToR.-The paid organs Of The
monopolists and the money lenders of Wall
street still continue their fight upon the
Alliance. 1t is never ending war until
one or the other of the parties shall cease to
exist
On the one side are the honest hard
working people of this country who have
been legislated against for years for the
benefit of the gold bug, the monopolists and
the corporations who rule the country, as
Abraham Lincoln said they would when the
shadow OF death had given prescience,
through the power of their MONEY, and that
latter composes the other party. Their
money enables them TO obtain the assistance
of almost every class of newspapers and OF
men possessing great intelligence and ability
and caring nothing for principle or their
country. The latest outpouring of one OF
these able newspapers reads as follows:
1.-THE sub-treasury project and the third
party will be discredited easily in the Alli-
ance if they are associated, as they are in
some parts of Texas, with pecuniary corrup-
ton, and if people see that the project and
the third party are opposed TO common
sense. Are they opposed to common hon
esty, too? At any rate some of the wisest
heads in the Alliance see that its prosperity
is seriously threatened. 1t has lost ground
in Kansas since the Cincinnati Convention;
and it will continue to lose ground wherever
there is proof or even belief, that it is
e. fbah anaGt e ba III
This comes from the New York Sun and
have been said by that and papers of its
class, which denouuce any attempt 10 take
the governing power away from one of the
two old parties, as dishonest.
The farmers of the country know what
they want; they have expressed their desires,
they have declared the legislation which
they deem necessary to relieve them from
their present condition. One Of the old
parties has passed upon it. That was the
Republican party in the State Convention
of OHIO, for that platform was made for the
National Convention when it meets. The
Republican party refuses absolutely even to
consider any of the propositions made by
| the Alliance. So far the Democratic party
has not expressed itself except through in
dividual members. A great many leading
Democrats in the South and West, pa-tic-
ularly in the South, incline to agree to a
part Of the demands of the Alliance what
the party will do as a whole cannot yet be
told. Senator Carlisle in the New York
Sun has advised that it should pretend to
agree to the Alliance propositions for the
purpose of securing the Alliance VOTE This
is probably what the party will do, because
those who are honest enough to declare 10
favor of the Alliance demands will be in the
minority and the fellows like Carlisle, who
only Aght for power and not for principle,
will dominate the convention and the party.

The tin plate liar is outdoing all
previous attempts in the exaggeration
line heretofore known. One party
paper will tell you that tin plate is
being turned out by American fac
tories by the tons and that dozens OF
the biggest kinds of buildings are
going mp where tin plate is to be
manufactured. Open the other
psrty's paper and there it is an
nounced that not sheet of Aneri-
can tin plate has been made. and
there is no prospect of any ever
being made. Who is lying any how?
The public would like to know. In
the meantime millions of pounds of
sheet tin have been shipped into the
United States in the last few months.
In one day not week ago 3,000,0U0
pounds of tin plate was landed in
New York before the new tariff went
into effect, July lst. which raises the
duty from $l.00 to $3.50. The tin
plate liar has evidently distanced all

treasury business have been artfully
framed to allow the government to
be cornered by the money trust at
pleasure. 1t is a public outrage that
such legislation should ever have
been allowed on the statute books,
and the great Wall street attorney,
John Sherman, did more than any
other man TO engineer such laws
through Congress. And now the
republican machine party press is
boasting over it, and claiming that a

people for longer lease of power
and misgovernment. The people are
beginning to think differently.

The sub-Treasury Plan vs.. the
Bonded Warehouse System.

When man wishes to 60 into the
business Of manufacturing spirits he
must file notice of his intention with
the collector~of revenue of his dis.
trict, and execute bond to comply
with all provisions Of the revenue
laws, pay all penalties or fines i'm.
posed for infraction of those laws;
and that he will not allow any land,
buildings or machinery used in the
business to be incumbered by any
mortgage, lien or judgment. This is
equivalent to deed for the property
and apparatus; but Uncle Sam knows
the character of the persons engaged
in the nefarious traffic and taking it
for granted that they will not be
honest if they can help it, proceeds
to put everything under lock and
key, bolt and bar, with salaried
officers of his own choice to measure
every gallon of product. Having
thus provided against any possible
loss. the moneyed partner (the gov
ernment) then Issues a warehouse re-
ceipt, which is accepted al the banks
as collateral, and upon which $50 ,000-
900 are now said to be loaned. The
government in this manner holds the
property and indorses atthe banks for
the distiller. 1.-THE warehouse receipts
represented something OF value, for
which money had been paid, the
transaction would be more reason
able, but they represent spirits which
cost about 10 cents a gallon, with
the tax added Of SO cents a gallon,
which tax is not paid until the liquor
is withdrawn from the warehouse
and sold. Practically then the gov.
eminent indorses for the distiller to
ten times the value of the goods
stored, and indirectly loans him the
money by allowing him three years
in which to pay the tax. The amount
of tax due and undue last year was
81,687,000, which added to the
$50, O0O,0O0 loaned by the banks on
the warehouse receipts. makes q
total of $l3l,687. 900 advanced to bis
wicked partner by his opulent friend.
This isthe style of business approved

many Objectionable features 10 the
sub treasury plan. They fini it i'm

mental care and storage of grain, bot
find no trouble in taking charge OF
the distilled product of that grain.
The government cannot loan money
on honest corn to half its market
value, but can practically advance
the cash on whisky made from that
corn to ten times its actual cost.
This is one of tho things a plain
farmer can't understand, but the
Alliance proposes to throw a little
light on the subject next year.-I5e

An Immense Debt Reduction

The debt reduction under the pres.

$24O, OO0, 900, involving gross expen
penditure of $40 600 600. If this
much of the national debt had not
been paid by Republican manage.
ment, the surplus to day would, OF
course. be very much larger than it
was a year ago. In other words. it
is held, if tae money in the Treasury
had been allowed to be idle during
the first year alone, instead of being
put forth to stop interest and save
an average Of 2 per cent month to
the people, there would be large
surplus on hand to day, notwith-
standing the heavy appropriations
and reduced receipts.
The above is all true and looks
very nice-on paper. But why not
tell the whole story? The most of
this reduction of debt cost the gov.
eminent 25 to 26 per cent premium
ana payment of interest six months
10 year IN advance, which was a
clean gift to the bond holders of not
much short of 60 millions of dollars.
The above statement puts it IN this
ambiguous way, "involying a gross
expenditure of $27O.OOO,O0O," which
gross expenditure" is a way the
partisan press has of Disgusting ugly
facts This is an odd way of Saving
Two per cent? And yet il can be
