Cause of the Panic Explained.

The Cecil Star gives the following unique
reason for the panic which has been squeez-
ing the business Of the country and is still
at it. The Star says:
''Here is the way it works: Ten thousand
people read a partisan editorial about the
evils to come upon the country as the result
of predicted legislation of the opposing
party, then ten thousand people rush gil
together to the bank where their savings are
deposited and demand their money!"
Well, friend Star, if it's their money they
ought 10 have 1t If they want it. Don't it
look that way? And the !s;ap adds;
'But banks don't keep all the money they
receive in costly fire and burglar proof
vaults sinpiy and solely for the convenience
of deposltors.'
Then who do they keep it for? The
iStar answers this also by telling these fool
ish depos;torp
They (the banksj use the money, lend
it Out at profitable per centage, lend ii tc
men 10 business, who use it to pay wages,
and buy material or more merchandise.
But these ten thousand fOoiishiy frightened
depositors demand their deposits"
We take different view of this matter
and cannot understand that the depositors
are "foolish'' for wanting their own. The
tacit understanding is between then sni the
bank that they, the foolish depositors," are
10 receive their money whenever they call
for it. aud il they can't get it and The bank
hasn't got 1t there is evidently something
wrong. The fact is the whole system is
wrong, not because ten thousand people get
frightened. When they call for their
money and CAN'T get il the evidence is clear
they had good cause 10 he frightened. The
fright could be avoided and panics could
meyer occur if the government established
he deposiio:ies which we cali banks, and
took charge OF depositorsl money. Then
they would get their money when they
called for It. for the government would be
always prepared to furnish the money on
demand. Nobody would demand money
when they did not need il. Ten thousand
people would not be frightened by reading
partisan lies, and no such thing as fnan-
cial panic could OCCUR.
There is no right founded ia justice that
any set of men should have a special pre-
rogative bestowed on them TO loan other
peoples money and pocket the profits of the
loans, and this is eKac.ly what banks do
People should think of, and talk ahoui This
matter of changing our abominably expen-
sive and unsafe financial system. The
control of the money should be taken out of
the hands Of shy lock and placed in the
custody Of the goYsrnment, which has no
motive for exploiting the people.

Some Whiskey Statistics.
Communicated.

SoHuuuledteu'
A person who has been engaged in the
saloon business for short time, but suf-
fciently long enough to know why the gin
mill man, fhe don't fall victim to the
whiskey habit himself, usually accumulates
money and lives on the fat Of the land,
apparently unconcious of the evil that he
has wrought and blind to the poverty and
wretchedness that he meets with in his
pathway through life; but then he has
license to sell whiskey, gin and rum and a
majority ofthe people of the county have
endorsed his right to make paupers and
criminals, and given to ten men of the
district, black or white, the privilege of
setting him up in business next door to his
neighbor if he sees fit to do so. Why there
are those who can be induced to enter into
the business is shown by the enormous
profits of the traffic as given:
A barrel of whiskey at say 81 per gallon
which is near about double the cost of the
cheap article, called "nigger whiskey,"
will cost 800. A gallon will pan out 20
drinks, which at 10 cents per drink will
make SIP per gallon, or $40 per barrel Of
As gallons, leaving profit of $3.50 TO the
barrel. The profit on the cheaper article
being greater, as the hummer who lays
around the saloons In stormy weather and
toasts his shins by the landlords slove on
winter evenings pays the same price per
drink as those who get a nip" at the
higher grade article. Since larger beer has
been introduced as beverage among the
country people, large quantities are shipped
daily from the cities to the country town
saloon keepers at cost of $l25 per key of
five gallons, on which a profit of $500 is
realized. and often more when the article is
froIhy and the crowd impatient. A good
hearty beer drinker, of an evening, will put
away a dozen glasses, or "schoouers" as
some call them, and some have been known
to drink twenty and still maintain a vertical
position at the bar. Youths of sun bounded
stomach" ever ranking themselves with
decent people, not hogs, while the saloon
keeper counts his gains and drawing the
drspery of his couch around him, lies d own
TO dream of money, bonds and mortgages,
lands and tenements.

Republican Primaries.

The republican party of the county

There will be a candidate for the
Senate, three for the House of Dele

FIVE delegates chosen by each prima-
ries will meet ia Elktqn on Monday
at ii o'clock to name these nominees
who are to be put through the sham
of election. Not a voter in Cecil
county has the remotest idea that
one of them will be elected. For 20
years this republican force ha been
carried on with prospects growing
small by degrees and beautifully less
every year, They serve TO strength
en- the grip of the democrat ring of
office hunters and office holders, and
tAiq is the only discernable power
they exert.
There is no more prospect OF the
republican party gaining national
supremacy again than of the restora,

sensible voters o. Ceai! who have
trained with the republican party
through all these years of defeat con
sent to still keep up such farce by
casting their votes for the ticket
which represents lying cause and
continue to block the way to any
change for better conditions? Such a
ticket, no matter how excellent its
personal may re cen only stand as a
forlorn hope of a small coterie Of
Office hunters, and the little motion
it may have is but the momentum
of the past. The slowing down of
a large body.

Is it a Conspiracy P-Conditions
Show It.
To THE MIDLAND JOURNAL :

To The MIDLAND JOURNAL
The most conservative and moderate con-
clusion arrived at after thoroughly and care
fully examining the situation, is, that it is
the determination of the present admins
tration to centralize in our national banks
absolute control of the treasury note circula-
ton of money TO the people. The last report
of President Cleyeland's Secretary of the
Treasury for the year 1883, page 433, shows
plainly that the present administration is in
the conspiracy not only to demonetize silver
but TO retire our present circulation of green.
backs, am ounting TO some $3l7 100000, and
then issue bonds for national bank circu-
lation.
The Secretary of Cleveland's former Cab
met wrote, that "the present circulation Of
greenbacks (the peoples money! is the
weak point in our currency system, and that
the present state of things seems favorable to
the substitution of national bank notes for
greenbacks, and to that end | mention for
the consideration Of Congress the following
measures: funding in bonds the greenback
debt Of $346, 6Sl ,0l6, or as much of it as
may be presented at the Treasury within
limited period, say three years; the bonds
to be issued only to national banks present.
ing greenbacks; the bonds so issued TO be
available only as deposit for national bank
circulation, and to entille the banks depos.
iting these to receive circulating notes to the
full amount of their face"
The attitude of the present administration
on the silver question, and of Cleveland's
former administration, can be viewed in no
other way than an advocacy of a simon pure
system of class favoritism, simply giving
the banks absolute control of the peoples
money, to loan to the people at usurous rates
of interest.
With the Sherman act repealed. silver
demohetized, the banks issuing all the paper
money, gold standard, the gold boarded,
all in line with the present administration.

The gold bug party care very little
for consistency. Last week they
we're crying out against the Sherman
law Initiating" the currency at the
rate of 100000 a month, and
yociferously claiming there was
abundance of money. This week
they are introducing a bill in Con-
gress granting the privilege to the
national banks to take out currency
to the full face value of their bonds
in the hands of the Comptroller, and
congratulating the country ON the
fact that this would add 100000
of currency to the volume of circula-
sion. They evidently think that
anything published In the daily
papers will be believed by the peo-
pie. no matter how absurd or con-
Trajectory it may be. They may be
deceived in this.

There is more ignorance al

There is more ignorance and
mendacity in the daily newspaper
than can be found in any other litera-
ture since the first historian scratched
his heiroglyphics on stone; and it is
one of the paramount duties of the
reform press TO impress this alarm
ing fact upon the public mind. Every
effort of the daily press of the great
cities is put forth to mislead and
darken public thought. 1t is the
saost actively dangerous institution
the civilization of the nineteenth
century has produced.
