THE COMING ISSUE

the following circular:
THE COMING ISSUE.
Four years ago the Republicans came back
into power and for the first time in the his
tory Of the country adopted the extreme
protective policy OF excluding trade in COM
peting products in order to preserve the
home market exclusively for home produc-
ers. They assured the country that this
policy would stop the fall of prices and
bring about general prosperity. 1t has not
done So; it has not prevented the continued
fall of prices nor relieved the mass of the
people from the evils of increasing debt and
taxes caused by the continued increase in
the money standard on the contrary il has
engendered monopoly and led to combina-
tons TO gain for few advantage over the
many.
On the 4th of March next The Democrats,
for the first time in more than thirty years.
will have the President and both Houses of
Congress. They are pledged TO REVISE the
tariff on lines leading to free trade, and
promise by this policy to do what the Rep
ublicans have failed TO do. This policy
will also fail, and is likely, by increasing
imports, to draw away gold and precipitate,
instead Of preventing, the further fall Of
prices. Then their turn will come. The
force bill will be ont of the way and there
will no longer be solid South The ties
that bind men TO parties, whether or no,
are everywhere being loosened, and prin-
ciple more and more governs voters.
The continued fall of prices is due to one
cause the increase in the money standard Z;
that is, in the value of gold. In other
words the change is in the measure and not
in the commodsties. This evil cannot be
cured by tariff legislation. There is no
remedy but to stop the increase in the value
of the money unit, and until this is stopped
the stealthy appropriation of the earnings
of the people by insidious device of an
increasing money standard will 20 on. Such
money standard is no more deiersible or
tolerable than would be an increasing unit
of length, or of weight. or volume.
The next issue, therefore, will be the
money question; nor will this issue be long
delayed; its suppression by the two leading
parties in the campaign just closed did not
settle it. The people are being educated on
the money question foster than politicians
comprehend, and they will pot submit
forever TO the robbery of an increasing gold
standard.
Now is the time for bimetaliisis to
organize and push TO the front the issue OF
free bimetalic coinage.
A. J. WARNER, President.

Not What He Meant.

There are many ways in which Ian
guage may fail to convey the idea that
is in the writer's or speakers mind. A
Scottish story illustrates this form OF
ambiguity.
Our minister was learned and warm
hearted, but somewhat erratic and alb
sent minded. He had pony that had
a great aversion to donkeys, and it was
with much difficulty that it could be
got to pass one of these animals on the
road.
One day, when riding to Forfar, he
met near Quilkfe an itinerant earthen,
ware merchant, whose stock in trade
was drawn by a donkey. The pony
reared and backed, and was only got
past after a great struggle. The min,
lister at the turn of the road a little fur
Their on, and before his mind was quite
composed, met the provost of Forfar.
"a fine day, provost" said the min,
lister.
Yes, fine day, Mr. Allen" replied
the provost.
"Do you think, provost, I'm likely
to meet any more asses on this road ?"
The provost used strong language in
reply, though there was no cause for it.

an advance in political thought among the
people.
The Single Tax theory of taxation has
spread all over the country and there is
more discussion every year on the subject
We notice also that applications are being
made for local option laws for the purpose
of testing the Single Tax theory in practice
on a small scale by way of experiment.
Hyattsville in this State, little town near
Washington, is the first to enter the trial
arena Of the new theory of taxation, and we
look for many more similar experiments in
the near future, especially in the west.
Hyattsvlle in our ownstate having led the
way the next legislature ought to be peti-
toned TO enact thar any county or incorpo.
rated town disposed to try the experiment Of
Single Tax should have the legal power TO
do so as far as The town or county taxes
levy was concerned. So that a vote of the
citizens, or better, probably, vote Of the
taxables only, could put the machinery of
the new law in operation. A few expert
ments limited 10 small areas could be tried
without auy risk of disorganizing the ma
chinery of taxation of the State, and if the
plan didn't please the people Immediately
interested, they could drop it and return to
the old methods.
Local self government is what the world
is coniending for, and it is the best, because
the safest plan for testing new theories or
systems of taxation. We have the local

privileges of local self government by in

Judge John Martin, of Topeka

Judge John Martin, of Topeka
was elected U. S. Senator by the
Kansas legislature on Wednesday
He is thorough democrat, but a
very honorable, high toned man.
The associated press despatch says
The populists stole clever march
on the republicans when they nomi
mated Judge Martin in caucus last
night. They figured that Mr.. Martin
being democrat there would 60 into
their joint convention not only
enough democrats to elect him
without counting the populist mem
bers, who took the seats of the
unseAted republicans, but also enough
to break the republican quorum.
Their figuring was correct, for when
the roll was called in their conven,
ton today three democrats voted for
Martin. OF course those three cannot
now go into the republican joint
convention, and without them the
republicans can only muster 81
member~two short Of quorum.
The republicans will therefore be
unable to elect Senator, and John
Martin will, without doubt, be the
only applicant for recognition before
the federal Senate.
Judge Martin declared in favor of
the populists last fall,

Local Option in Taxation.

Local option is a most democratic system,
and is the essence of local self government
in a restricted sense. Thus far "local
option" has been confined to the liquor
arafiic and when the term is used everybody
understands that it means an appeal to the
voters Of a county or town TO answer at the
polls whether the majority are in favor o.
or opposed to the sale of liquor in the pre-
scribed district. This same spirit of local
self government is growing, and we mark it

PEACH BASKETS.
A Busy Industry on the Peninsula at
This Time

A Busy Industry on the Peninsula at
This Time.
In anticipation of the coming fruit crop
the manufacture of peach baskets is one OF
the busiest industries on the peninsula.
Under the rules made by the commission
merchants in the cities no peach baskets
will be returned and consequently great
number will be required. 1t is estimated
that at least 5000, 900 baskets will be made
in Delaware and Maryland. They are SELL
ing at SIC. EACH Baskets for the peninsula
crop will be furnished on the peninsula.
Dovers two basket mills are running
with all the force they can accommodate.
About 5000 baskets per day are turned out
from the two factories. John Cohee at Pen
niwelPs is the fastest hand, making from
$50 to 300 per day. One cent is paid for
each basket,
J. Colby Smith, the Willow Grove basket
maker has turned out 0,00O. One of his
operators has made 2075.
G. L. Severn at Millington is averaging
5000 per day.
C. T. Collins basket factory is running full
blast and every boy in Chestertown can find
employment He has an order for 10 ,00t
| baskets now waiting, and they will be
| turned out as fast as possible.
RS. Emery's factory has been running
| the past week and he is prepared to furnish
growers with either batkets or boxes.
