The Gegiaiature.

Maryland Legislature got ready
for business this week after dividing
the offices as far as they would go.
There weren't enough to go half
round, however.
Mr.. Hayes again heads the finance
committee, and If the assessment bill
should finally reach it the Hayes bill
will most likely be reported by it
This bill is the one Governor Brown
vetoed and raised such rumpus
over two years ago. Hayes seems
to think there can be no improve
ment made on his work.
Mr.. Crothers is on the committee
on Education, Judiciary, Railroads
and Canals, Sanitary Condition of
the State and Contingent Expenses.
The Legislatures first business will
be to tack e the tax question, and
Senator Hayes will make strong
fight for his bill. The Governor
has different bill in his mind
and will antagonize the Hayes
bill with all his might. Senator
German favors the Hayes bill
because, be says, the people want it
and they ought to have what they
want, right or wrong. The Hayes
bill is listing bill, a new departure
in Maryland system of taxation The

For Business Men to Consider

MIDLAND JOURNAL an article under the
above caption which we entreat every bus.
mess man and especially manufacturers tc

carefully. They will be forced 10 admit that
no tariff can have the least influence in
getting them out of he hole contraction Of
currency has put them in, and if the gold
ring English policy Of finance is continued
few years longer, not manufacturer who
is not supported by strong trust and
located in the most favored situation will be
able to stand. Bankruptcy and total ruin
is inevitable for them. The mechanics
wages must drop still lower, and his idle
days increase in number. The steady fall
in farm produce which must continue will
close every country store except those
located in the mos, favorable places, enjoy
ing the best conditions for trade and run
entirely on the cash plan.
The folly Of the infatuation which
possesses the manufacturers and trading
people TO take sides with the Jew, gold,
scarce dear money system, cannot fail to be
understood if they study this fourth page
article carefully.
THE MIDLAND JOURNAL has warned its
readers for years what they might expect,
and the conditions are now upon them
which we've foretold, and they have not
reached their worst. Let any person look
back and around and observe what has
taken place and is steadily going on even
in this county, one Of the most fovorably
located FOX farming and its attendant bust,
ness in the United States, and behold the
ruin that has fallen on many Of our best

list of his orders, and note their smallness
and how few and far between those evidences
Of prosperity appear, and the narrow margin
of profit they show. Turn to the bank
statements, these barometers of business in
country districts, and note the steady dimn-
nation in their deposits. Every where and
on every line of business the trace of hard
times and the tracks of approaching poverty
are seen. Ard when you have looked upon
and considered all these results of con-
tracing currency, turn to Congress and
behold both old parties in the hands of The

The Board met on Tuesday. Present,
Messrs. Everist, Kirk and Ash.

that had been made. The matter was
held over for consideration.

One of the Job Comforters.

The Atlanta Constitution which
plays to the people a while and then
to Wall street administers the follow
ing as pain killer to the poor.
When we have hard times in this
country we live better, have more
comforts and spend more money
than people do-in Europe during an
era of good times.
The conveniences enjoyed by the
poorer classes of this country are
superior to those within the reach OF
the same classes in Europe.
X X
When we have an era of hard
times if our people would adopt the
European standard of living they
would get along and save money.
X
They teach great economic lesson
and sometime in the future it may
become necessary for us to profit by
the lesson.
The Constitution and all OF its
monopoly class ought to be cheerful
now since they have million or two
of Americans down to the European
soup house level and the great
economic lesson" ought to now be IN
order. The men who dish up such
moral and political garbage ought to
be shot at and not missed.

Sarsaparilla possesses by virtue of the
Peculiar Combination, Proportion and
Process used in its preparation, and by
which all the remedial value or the ingre-

A New Movement fer Local Option.


The Maryland State Temperance
Alliance has prepared a bill which
they propose submitting to the Gen
eral Assembly. backed up by mum
erously signed petitions for its
passage into law.
The substance of the Bill is State
law providing for local government
against the sale OF liquors. 1t pro-
vides that when one fourth of the
voters of an election district, town
or county, shall petition the Circuit
Court for submission at special
election of the question of granting
or not granting license for tie sale
of Intoxicating liquors as beverage
therein. To ten days after the receipt
of the petition the Court shall issue
an order to the Sheriff whose duty it
shall he to give notice of an election
for this purpose.
If the vote shall be against license
the Clerk is forbidden to issue license
for the sale of grog in the county,
town or district voting against it, on
aud after the first day of May next
following the election. The Bill
provides for a trial of strength
between the voters for whiskey and
against whiskey every two years.
p This would be an excellent law,
giving every county, incorporated
town and election district control
of the liquor trade within its juris-
diction. 1t looks to thorough self
government in the matter of whiskey.

the goods which are in the general market.
Money can be acquired in three ways; by
inheritance or Gift from another, by produc
ing something which is put into the common
stock-the public market-and by stealing
it. The latter is the criminal process and
is punishable by law unless the thief has
been in advance of his crime and secured
the passage ola law to legalize the crime,
which is very often done. The two former
modes of possessing money are legitimate and
entitle the holder to whatever he may find
in the general stock of the community
known as the market. The possession of
money is an evidence to the public that the
party has contributed something useful to
the common stock of society, the general
market, for which he has not received an
equivalent in return that he can apply to
his personal benefit, and in consequence the
community is indebted to him to the amount
determined by the figures on the money.
This certificate of indebtendess by the COM
munity TO the bearer, entities him TO go into
the market and exchange his certificate
money for something he can apply to bis
personal use when he fnds party who has
more of that particular article than he wants.
The obligation which the community owed
this person is then cancelled. He has re-
ceived as much in value from the common
stock as he put into it.
Without celebrating this point which is
easy TO understand and apply to the whole
volume of trade which moves through the
entire country, it will be seen that money
has no relation to the metals of gold and
silver, and that it is purely creation OF
government for special purpose, that pur-
pose being the execution of the laws to
facilitate trade. If this simple process is
the sole use for which money is created
and il evidently is-we can see readily what
appalling abuses it is made to snbserve.
The usury of money, the cornering Of
money, the holding it from use, the exploit
ing and gambling in the necessaries of life,
all of which are abuses of money which
could be prevented, and ought to be pre-
vented by the government.
We also see that gold OR silver 1.-THE prec-
ious metals) play no part whatever as
money. The thing known as money is a
tablet on which the decree of the State is
registered, and it is evident that it is an
unnecessary expense TO have it recorded on
piece of metal so costly as gold. This
being the case the gold tablet has been
taken out Of active use and a paper sub
stitute is now almost universally used Gold
as money is no longer made use Of for an
honest and necessary purpose as money, but
for very dishonest object aud the incon-
ceivatle injury to the public. 1t is high
time the intelligence of the age had risen TO
comprehension of the subject and demand
ed its banishment as money.

A Living Census.

1t is said by those who have the
means of ascertaining the facts that
the agricultural statistics of the
Census Bureau have been purposely
altered and cooked to keep the public
in the dark as to the true condition
of the farming interest of the country
A truthful exhibit would be appal-
ling, and therefore the facts are sup
pressed for political reasons. The
Englishman, Porter, whom the
Republican party bosses placed at
the head of the census business, was
opposed to extending the census to
taking account of the farm mortgage
debts and when the figures were sent
in they were deliberately altered and
falsi6ed. These facts are given out
by parties who were employed in the
Office where this dirty work was done
The National Grange was largely
instrumental in having the Census
include statistics of farm indebted
ness, and is order to prevent such
intermeddling in future, the goldbugs
have managed to place men of their
own class as Master and National
Lecturer of the National Grange. and
President Cleveland completed the
job by selecting rank gold ring
national banker for Secretary OF
Agriculture. Thus while the farm.
ers work and sleep their natural
enemies plan and scheme to keep
them in the dark and rob them
through legal methods.
