Postal Currency.

Senator Hale has introduced bill for the
issue of fractional currency and the abolish
ing of the abominable postal note. The
denominations named in the bill are 8, 10,
25, so and rs cents, to be legal tender in
sums less than dollar. The and 10 cent
notes would be nuisance. They always
were when we had them, 25 and so are the
best sizes and sufficient for all practical
purposes. They were the favorite sizes
when all our change was of that sort of
money.
When shylock had sixty millions of frac-
tional currency drawn in by the Treasurer
and destroyed the people did not know that
there was reduction of the money of the
country to that amount and it meant gen.
eral fall 10 prices in the same ratio. And
when in 1867, one thousand millions of
larger denominations of the money of the
country was changed into interest paying
bonds, they also did not know that they
would be taxed to pay the interest and
principal on those bonds but heavy pre-
MUM on. them also, that the prices of their
labor and products would fall in the exact
ratio to the destruction of the money. They
feel it now but the larger part OF them do
not understand the reason why. For that
little bit of sharp fiDanciering by Wall
street, they, the people, have paid thous-
and millions Of interest and seventy mill
lions in premiums on such Of the bonds as
have been cancelled. They, the people.
did not know that this smart financiering by
shyiock would. and did, compel them to sell
two grains Of wheat for the same money
they got for one grain before, and work two
days TO earn as much as they earned in one
before, and 10 buy on cre0ii in place of pay
ing cash as before, and give their notes
drawing interest renewable forever, with a
bonus added TO the interest at each renewal.
Well, it meant all this and more and worse
in the near future.

The Free Coinage Question

The Stree coinage" question in q
nut shell is this. The banker class
wishes to reduce the volume of
money, if possible; at any rate keep
it at the present volume, which at
least relatively speaking, is reduced
greatly below what it was 20 years
ago The present reduced volume Of
money was brought about by this
banker class, the creditor class gen.
orally, through series of acts which
eliminated with the fraudulent one
that demonelized silver.
This class held the bonds of the
Federal government, and was rapidly
coming into possession, through
mortgages. of the bonds of the indi.
vidual small farming and industrial
classes. 1t Was accordingly to its
interest to reduce the volume Of
available money, and one of the best
means to this end was the virtual
decentralization Of silver. The scheme
of the banking and credit class
worked like magic. One commodity,
gold. only being made means Of
payment, when the interest on the
bonds and mortgages and the prin-
cipal ON the latter became due, the
debtor class had to pay . good deal
more than they had originally bar
gained for, aud the creditor class got

G0VeTnoE Brown as an ECONOMIST
The Governor has slashed the
work of the Legislature right and left
after the adjournment by withhold
ing his signature from bills that cut
deep into the treasury. The bills
from which his signatureis withheld
are as follows: Providing for free
books in public schools and appro-
priating in the two years $204.00O
to meet this expense to build an
insane asylum on the Eastern Shore
at cost of $4,000, and allowing
$4,000 a year for two years for
maintenance, making $l05, 900 in the
aggregate; giving $4,000 to the
Eastern and Northern Railway Go.
of Cecil county, appropriating $4,000
to the schools of Garrett county;
establishing the State weather
bureau at a cost of $2 1000 q year for
two years. The aggregate amount
named in the bills that have been
scotched is $4,000. To this must
be added the $1,000 that was going
to the Sons of the American Revo-
luton for q monument in Baltimore
city by bill which the Governor
vetoed Monday. This, in round
numbers, foots up $380,000 in ap-

Road Making and Mending.


On the fourth page OF the MIDLAND
JOURNAL very instructive paper on
road making will be found that every
body interested In good roads (Which
includes every one who travels over
the public roads) should carefully
read. The writer lays good deal of
emphasis on under drains where the
soil is tenacious or any signs of
springs in wet weather appear. This
has wholly been neglected, and many
q quick sand spot defes travel during
the spring months which might be
entirely abolished by putting good
drain under the road. This would
be permanent improvement and
insure dry roads where they are at
present mud holes. There are mum.
erous places in the neighborhood Of
Rising Sun of this character, .
notable one is Barnes corner. This
execrable spot could be readily drain
ed and the road made permanently
dry.
There is much other valuable in
formation contained in the article
referred to which will be found new
to the majority of readers, but which
cannot but strike them as sound in
every respect. The matter Of COM
pacting roads by heavy roller is no
doubt one of the best methods to ap-
Iply to dirt road, and would be q
great and permanent improvement
to all manner of roads. This brings
US to the question of economy.
Whether is it more economical to
pursue the clumsy methods in vogue
since the colonial days of the prov
ince of Mary land. and see the annual
expenditures for road purposes
swept away in few weeks after be-
ing applied, or by a systematic
method in which the improved ma.
chinery for road making is used, and
the annual labor and expense made
a permanent investment ? In order
to reap the advantages the latter
method offers. a radical change in
our road law is demanded.
| Before satisfactory roads can be
enjoyed by the public what may be
properly termed four cardinal points
in road construction will have to be
utilized, each IN its place; namely,
drainage, the road machine or scrap
er. the heavy packing roller and
stone. In ten years such an inno-
walton would demonstrate both econ
omy and steady, permanent improve
ment in the roads and expenditures,
while the lack of system which has
obtained for century has been q
chronic waste of the money appro-
priated. Scientific brain work to
lplan and direct, and improved ma
chinerylto execute the work with after
it has been planned, are the sine qua
non Of success.

State Ownership of Natural Monop.

State Ownership of Natural Monop-
olies.
The State could own and run very
probably TO the peopie) several
natural monopolies as successfully as
the post office. In Australia the
colonies own the railroads and the
enterprise is such a success that the
policy is advancing in place of con.
templating return to private mo
nopoly management. The Australian
government owns in addition to the
railroads and post Office, parcels
express, the telegraph and telephone
systems, the water supply depart
ment and the purchase of the ship
ping by the government is being con.
sidered. The municipality of Mil
burn proposes to purchase the street
car and lighting franchise. and
plants, the franchises having been
given to monopolies as in the United
States. These public accommoda
lions are managed successfully and
economically in that country and
could also be in this. No private
company could run the post Office SO
|cheaply and satisfactorily as the
government.
If the government owned and ran
the railroads, telephones, telegraphs,
street railway, gas electric lighting
and water privileges, all natural mo-
nopolies, the entire taxes of the
country could be paid out of these
and the accommodations to the pub.
lie would not cost one half what they
do under the present monopoly con-
troll.

Debt and Interest on Farms.

On the farms of the five States,
Alabama, Illinois. Iowa, Kansas and
Tennessee, there rests q mortgage
debt aggregating $534,653,85 the
annual interest on which is SCI, sos,
629. This statement is taken from
the census reports.
When the clerks in the department
reach Maryland will the proportion
be any less we wonder. And what
will the mortgage debt of Cecil
county foot up? The farmers can
never pay such mountain of debt
under present conditions.

THE LOST POCKET-BoOK.
Adventure OF Mr.. John Tutt1e of Kansas
ut the Ocean Beach.


A young man OF meek appearance and
apparently quite harmless was few days
since introduced to Billy Vice, passenger
agent of the Union Pacific. He was vouched
for by gentleman connected with one OF
the charitable institutions of the city, and
introduced as Mr.. John Tuttle OF Kansas
City. who was temporarily In trouble and
desired to be assisted to return to his home.
The story told Mr.. Vice was that this young
man, who was employed as a clerk lin a
commission house. had been working hard
for small pay for seven years, but had man.
aged to save up enough In that time to take
trip to the metropolis of the West He had
not spent his money In dissipation like many
would have done, but had been unfortunate
and had lost all his money.
Mr.. John Tuttie of Kansas went on to
say that he was much pleased with all he
saw, but what pleased him most was the
grand old ocean. He spent many hours on
the beach near the Cliff watching the break
ers chase one another and break on the
sands. One sunny afternoon while en-
gagged In this occupation he became so
absorbed in the grandeur of the scene that
he was lost III admiration and did not
notice that his pocket-book containing all
his wealth, $3.50, had dropped from his
pocket, and il was not until he got on board
OF the ears aud wanted TO pay his fare that
he discovered his loss, which left him pen
nless stranger in a strange place. He
jumped from the train and made a search in
vain on the sands for his lost coin. AS he
told his story the tears weled up in his eyes.
Mr.. Wee suggested sending telegram TO
Mr. John Tuttle's employer and yesterday
a $50 remittance by wire was received. Mr..
Vice identified Mr.. John futile at the tele-
graph office and then concluded that he
would eross-Questi0n that Individual in re-
lation to the lost poeket-book Mr.. Vice be-
longs to the club and knows s-thing or two.
and in the most nonchalant way asked Mr.
John TOttle, Upon what shell did you
bet?"
The middle one," unconsciously re-
spOnded the man from the cyclone State,
but no sooner had he spoken than lie tried
TO hedge, and stammering out something
about having lain on the sand reading a
book and that the money must have
dropped out Of bis pocket He finally ad-
mitted that while lie was on the beach two
young men approached him and managed
TO get him interested IN game he did not
know. They had three little shells and q
little pea; they manipulated these things in
careless clumsy manner, and all ne had to
do was TO guess under which shell the pea
was. he told where it was and backed his
judgment with money, but somehow or
other when the shell was raised the pea was
not there. 1t did not take him long to part
with his money, and when il was all gone
the nice young men departed as silently as
they bad come, but they were each 500
richer than when they met Mr.. John futile
OF Kansas. The victim Of the she'll game
was given his ticket and he started home
ward a much detected man, bordering over
the saying that experience is dear school
and that fools will not learn in any other.
