Evils Of State Banks,

w. S. j., of Greene County, this
State, writing to the New York Press
makes the following very pertinent
points anent State banks:
1--WE old folks have been very bitter
toward the Democrats for the ruin
wrought by their blunders jim financial
legislation from the day Andrew Jack
son vetoed the bill creating the third
national bank 10 the time they were
driven from power in 1861. And now
they wish to return to the same evils.
I'm 1859 I was in Memphis, Tenn,
and about to 60 North. I ascertained
the fact that the exchange between
our best Tennessee banks and New
York was three fourths of one cent on
the dollar. So l went to the principal
bank in Memphis to get my money
changed for New England currency,
but could not get dollar, so l took
bills on that bank in lieu thereof.
II went to the steamboat, paid my
fare to Cairo, ILL.,, and got off Just at
dinner time. went to a hotel, where
l had been before, and told the clerk
that l wanted dinner. We'll, step
right in to the dining room, for they
are dining In l went, and after din
ner came out and rendered ten dollar
bill in payment. To my astonishment
the clerk said: why, there is dis.
count on Tennessee money here
How much?' Fifteen per cent. he
replied. We'll, I said, 4 have nothing
with me but Tennessee money So, as
| had to pay 70 cents for my dinner,
that and the discount cost me $2.25.
"No matter how current Tennessee
money was all over the State, just 80
soon as you stepped over the imagi-
nary lines bounding and adjoining
States it was subject to discount.
I'm those days the man who did not
carry Thompson's bank note detector
to tell him the discount on the different
banks throughout the United States,
and also the various counterfeits- and
they were legion-was one who had
occasion to handle but little money.
1T was to me a curious fact that
there was not only no discount in Men,
phis on any bank bill hailing from
New England, but a premium of per
cent. On several occasions paid that
amount of premium to get New Eng
land money to send to Maine and New
Hampshire.
1.-THE history of the Locofoco money
system, or, rather, want of system,
from the time of the breaking down of
the State banks in 1887 till our excel
lent national bank system was created
by the Republicans during the war,
ought to be brought to the attention of
every voter in the United States under
the age of so years, and perhaps good
many who are above that age"

A Fertile Land.

The mention of Newfoundland makes
the ordinary man shiver, as the idea
which the name conjures up is that of
barren land perennially enveloped
in raw fogs. This is, however, quite
q delusion. Colonel O'Brieh, the Gov
ernor, considers 1t a great misfortune
that, from its proximity to Europe, the
capital and the largest amount of the
population should be settled on the
peninsula Of Avalon, the rocky coast
of which, exposed to the fury of the
Atlantic gales, first receives the fogs
from the Banks, giving to the passer
by, at this the only port of call for
mail steamers, but very poor idea of
the fOgless climate, milder and more
eqpable than that of Canada, the love-
ly scenery. fine land and vast forests,
as well as of the great and varied min
eral resources Of other parts Of the
island. which are only awaiting pop
ulation, energy, capital and enterprise
for their development.-Pall Mall Ga
zette.

great as it would be, is the least in
store for the people if the State banks
are to come ON top with Democratic
triumph.
The country has never yet known a
system of banking, aside from our
present National system, that did not
leave the note holders liable to serious
loss by banks breaking, either because
of the dishonesty or unfortunate risks
of the officers and directors. Why are
the National banks such exceptions 7
Simply for the reason that each bank
has to keep on deposit with the United
States Treasurer 300 of United States
bonds for every 500 of paper it circu-
lates. Then if the bank breaks the
United States Government sells these
bonds and pays the note holders, not
partially, but fully, every dollar. Bu-
siness depositors suffer alone from sucL
breaks, but not the people who hold the
notes. 1t is not so with State and indi-
vidual banks. Taking the banks of all
classes in this State from 1885 to 1850
(the period of my observation of their
action and history, noteholders lost,
by their dishonesty or unfortunat ate
breaks, not less than twenty five per
cent of their holdings. If this figure
be applied to all the States the aggre-
gate every ten years would run up to
more than our present National debt.
The one and half percentage ex-
change of itself ought to prevent any
sensible, honest man from desiring the
change back indicated by the Demo
cratic platform, as it would bleed the
great masses of the people every ten
years of not less than 81, $50, ,0OO, 900.
That, however, is but fair specimen
of modern Democracy, and indicates
that ParsOn Brownlow was not far
wrong in his facetious definition-that
Democracy came from demos" and
"cratio, which signified rule us and
damn u.s." Honest Democrats ought
to unite with Republicans in their ad-
miration of our United States National
Banking System. Back in the forties
Wings advocated a National bank un-
der simple charter, whilst Democrats
plead for subtreasury system circu-
lating treasury notes. The one way a
top without sufficient bottom, whilst
the other was a bottom without suffi-
cient top. Our present National bank
ing system happily unites the bottom
and the top, forming financial system
which can not be improved upon. It's
circulating notes secured against posi-
BILE loss and as good as gold and better
than silver in every State and Territory
of the Union. In fact they are so very
good that the traveller going abroad
finds them equal to their face value in
most of the civilized governments of
the world. N. A. PATTERSON.

NEAR AN END.
The Last Count But One Takes
Place.
Mahnka Retains First Place
Angus Second and Lish-
man Third.

The sixteenth count of ADvER-
TIsER ballots and the last but one
took place yesterday at this office
before the usual assemblage of in
terested spectators.
Eight hundred and one votes
were polled during the present
week, divided chiefly between the
three leaders of the contest, MANU-
ka, Angus and Lishman.
AS the final count draws near
public interest increases in regard
to the result, as to which there
is a great deal of speculation
among many people; but next
week will put an end to guessing,
as the last count takes place then.
There are bound to be some dis
appointed ones and it is a difficult
matter at the present time to name
the winner of the Volcano trip.
The youths about town say that
Angus must go, while the school
boys and girls declare that nothing
can prevent their idol, Percy Llsh-
man, from receiving the first prize;
and Mahuka's friends are reticent
when questioned about the star
first-baseman's chances; but they
cannot conceal a self-satisfied air
when his name is mentioned.

OYSTERS AND SEEDS

Are valuable for what's in 'em. Good
and bad oysters look alike in the shell.
Good and bad seeds often have the same
appearance. Any one can tell worth
less oyster on opening it. The value Of
q seed must be determined by its growth.
This makes its quality worth considering.
You want seeds that will grow, and you
want the product to be of value. There
is but one guarantee; the reliability of
the firm from which you buy.

A Home upon the Farm.

The new bridge at West Annapolis
and the regularly graded approaches
now rapidly pushing to completion
have brought to public notice the Mel
vim Garden Farms now fairy establ-
ished. Sales of some of these farms
have already been made and others
arc contemplated. The location for
this enterprise is one of the finest in
the state. The land is high, well drain
ed, healthy, with fine water situations
and soil of the best for the purpose.
Several new houses will be built on
these farms within few weeks. Mr..
Melvin offers great bargains to those
wanting home upon the farm close
to the city. Living out there will be
cheap. Farms with or without dwell
ings can be purchased in convenient
installments. Call and see Mr.. George
T, Melvin who will show you a plat of
the farms and take you over to see
them.

pleted, convenient and pretty cottages.
Train Master Upton besides finishing
his residence has designed tasty
little poultry house where he proposes
to raise some first class browning

We are now entering upon what is
known as the Dog Days." which pre-
cede and follow the heliacal rising of the
star Sirius-in the constellation of the
Greater Dog. The extreme heat of this
season of the year, although to us palpa-
bly, the effect of the continued high po-
sition of the sun. was connected by the
ancients with the appearance of this star
in the morning. They considered the
dog star as raging, and gave the appel
lation of Dog Days. The liability of
dogs to rabies In consequence of the heat
of the season was connected with the
same star, though there was nothing but
accidents in the collision, and they butch
cred these animals without mercy. The
season lasts six weeks and is considered
an unhealthy one.
