Whenever congress says the mints
of the United States are open for the
free coinage of silver, not another
ounce can be bought in the wide
world for less than 1921 cents, and
any person of even average intelli--
gence who will investigate the sub
ject will be unable to reach any
other conclusion. When country
that produces nearly half the silver
OF the world opens her minis to free
coinage, then all the rest Of the world
must pay her price for it. This Is so
plain that q wayfarer ought to see it.

first clause which says the Legislature
may exempt church and other prop,

4th.-CoUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
This amendment provides that
County Commissioners shall be elect
ed on the general ticket of each
county, commencing in 1891, and
for such periods not exceeding six
years, as may be prescribed by law.
This article we heartily endorse
and it should receive a unanimous
vote.
5th.-THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
This amendment is intended to
give the Board of Public Works
authority to sell the States interest

General Assembly.
This clause is open to abuse but if

This amendment proposed to tax

this State, in the county or State
where they bona 1fde reside for the
greater part of the year, for which
the tax is levied, and not elsewhere.
except goods or chattels permanently
located, which are to be taxed in
county or city where they are so
located. It is also provided in the
same amendment that the general
assembly may provide for the taxa
ton of mortgages upon property in
the State, and the debts secured
thereby in the county or city where
the property is situated.
This provision does not appear to
add to the power already possessed
by the legislature, which has always
claimed the power to tax mortgages.
The amendment may as well be
adopted and give it trial, if it
promises to enable the Legislature to
perfect and pass more equitable
tax law than we have.

Farmers Who Oppose Their Own
Interests.

The essay read at the last meeting
of the Cecil Farmers Club, and pub.
lished with the proceedings will pro-
woke smile by its many peculiar
tiles. The remedy Tor the ills Of the
farmer is pointed out in the follow.
ing paragraph:
..The ills of the farmer we have
briefly sketched. What is the rem
edy? IT'S this, a short, sharp and
sovereign one. Let every farmer in
every county and state reduce his
tillage from one third to one half,
thus making the supply not equal to
the demand, he will then receive full
and remunerative prices for his
products. Supply and demand, are
the supreme regulators
AS the above plan is impossible OF
trial, it will of course never be test.
ed. A few paragraphs previous the
essay states the fact that IS per
capita, (the amount at present in
circulation,) Of circulation is too
small quantity to do the business
of the country, and how a diminished
quantity of food products would
remedy the evil is not plain, there
being no money to purchase with at
a higher price. The very condition
OF present exists which is recon-
mended as cure. There is q lack
of grain within reach of the farm
ers' market of at least 100 million
bushels, but the scarcity Of money
and the ability to corner that pre-.
vents the rise in the price of grain
above what it sold for last year.
ITO close," continues the essay,
.the Farmers Alliance is no myth,
but power in the land, it has come
to stay; time and experience will
eliminate cruditles and visionary
schemes, wise counsels will prevail,
and practical measures take the
place of impossible theories"
