International Conference.

The advocates of an international con-
ference to fix the ratio between silver and
gold coins contend that one country is
not able to fix such ratio. If one coun-
try is not on account of the natural law of
supply and demand controlling prices,
how can all countries accomplish the
purpose? If the United States cannot,
then all the countries of the world could
not. But the country which can absorb
the product of silver or gold or both of
the worlds supply by converting them
into money, can control the price ofboth.
The business of the United States alone
could easily absorb both metals as money.
Her internal trade is equal to that ofthree
of the greatest nations of Europe.

Emily Faithful, Writer and Lecturer

The London Times announces the
death of Emily Faithful. Miss Faithful
was born in 1885. Becoming interested
in the condition of women, she collected
a band of female compostors and in 1860
founded typographical establishment,
in which women as compositors were
employed.
In May, 1868, Miss Faithful started a
monthly publication called the Victoria
Magazine, in which for eighteen years
the claims of women to remunerative EN-
ployment were earnestly set forth. She
achieved marked success as lecturer.
In 1928 Miss Faithful visited the
United States. After a third tour, in
1898, she published book entitled
''Three Visits to America" containing
vivid descriptions of various feminine in
dustries and life as she found it among
the Mormons in Salt Lake City, Colora-
do, California, etc. Miss Faithful gave
an address on the Queens influence on
women i'll the jubilee year.
In concentration of thirty years dedi-
Gated to the interests of her sex, Miss
Faithful received in 1888 an engraving
of Her Majesty, which was sent her by
the Queen, bearing an inscription in her
own handwriting, and followed by a
civil-service pension.

500 Reward 500.

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity
Catarrh being a constitutional disease,
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors have
SO much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of
testimonials. Address,

Increasing Taxation.

Bondcreffs was Russian peasant who
by the hardest effort learned to spell out
the contents of the Bible. He was so
impressed with the sentence pronounced
against Adam when turned out of the
Garden of Eden, Gin the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread" that when he
had Raced the age of IS he wrote book,
the central thought of which was the text
in Genesis. He submitted his work to the
Car, and asked permission to publish 1t,
but the Gar refused. Count Tolstoi pro-
cured the manuscript of the peasant and
adding predatory book and putting in
presentable form by correcting the orthog-
raphy and grammar, obtained permission
to publish. The following remarkable
passages are taken from the book:
II remember we'll that, fifty years ago,
the money tax was four roubles head.
the custom house dues were trifling and
the kings treasury was we'll filled. To-
day the money tax is thirty-6ve roubles a
head, and all others are ten times as much
as formerly the lumber of persons liable
to be taxed is doubled, and yet they conf
plain that the amounts collected are in
sufficient. Thus it may be foreseen that
in fifty years more the tax will be increas.
ed to one hundred roubles a head, and
the people.will all be ruined. And why !?
Because every one wishes to be elegantly
attired, without working for it. On all
sides you offend us in an insupportable
manner. People have become tricky and
given to intrigue they love to deceive
and thus having no claim on the treasury
for the least sum, they will assert that
it owes them not five but ten thousand
kopecks and they will receive them"
The humble Russian peasant in these
short passages paints picture of the
United States that it would be difficult to
improve on. The same spirit of greed,
trickery and dishonesty prevails here as
in despotic Russia, and If anything with
greater license.

Result of the Gold Standard.

The Atlanta Constitution has
prepared and published a map
showing the parts of the country
which have profited by the "gold
standard" Shylock's financial
system. The New England, New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
the increase has been 1912, 11O,555.
Of this increase 1926, 1888, 4S2 comes
from New York alone. The de-
crease in the valuation of property
in the rest of the country is $780,
1S5,790 The great money centers
have gained and all the rest of the
country has lost under this famous,
but internal Jew ''gold standard"
of usury. And this ruinous result
has been produced in the single
year of 1894 the years of 1898 and
1894 only having been compared.
This is the prosperity the monopoly
papers boast of, the building up of
great money Genius by the plumber
of all the balance of the country.

Honest Because Poor.

Charles Francis Adams in his addi ess
delivered at the banquet of the Boston
Municipal League, Dec. 10th, 1894, said :
"It is all very well to pirate of the SIM
plicity and purity of the past the past
was simple and, perhaps it was pure; but
it was also poor, and its purity, fancy
was largely due to the fact that there
wasn't much to steal. The pickings to be
had from the municipal appropriation of
the last century were amazingly lean.
Things in this respect have changed. The
municipal appropriations are now enor-
NOUS, and 'wheresoever the carcus is,
there will the eagles be gathered
together"

Taxing the Elective Franchise.

Mr.. E. L. Duyckinck entertained
the Cecil Farmers Club last week
and as host furnished the essay.
Mr.. Duyckinck reiterated his con-
viction, expressed in former essay,
of the business and policy of a poll
tax. We fear Mr.. Duyckinck has
not fathomed the deep significance
and future danger that turks in a
poll tax. 1t is at war with the
principle ON which the government
of the United States is founded,
which is the freedom of the ballot.
The right to vote is law making
right, an unalienable right. 1t is
the new gospel of freedom which
surprised the crowned despots and
privileged nobility of the old world,
and denied the old dogma of divine
right of kings, which Jefferson so
clearly promulgated in the Declara-
ton of Independence, and on the
freedom of elective franchise rests
our whole system of popular or
democatic government. A poll-tax
is a tax on the right of self govern
ment, a restriction of that funda-
mental power. In place of taxing
the citizen for performing his first
duty to government, he should be
taxed or find if at all for not voting.
Mr.. Duyckinck thinks one dollar
would be an insignificant matter,
but the principle is where the wrong
and the danger turks. If the right
to tax the voter one dollar is con-
coded, the right to tax him $40
follows and rests with the legisla-
ture. A poll-tax does not differ in
results from property qualification
tax. 1t would disfranchise millions
of voters, and that is the next move
ment the present conspiracy of Or
ganized wealth is contemplating.
If poll-tax is sanctioned on the
grounds taken by Mr.. Duyckinck-
and it appears to be the only view
that has ever been taken, when the
time is ripe, and that time is not
far distant if present conditions are
not changed, the poll-tax will be
used as one of the means to disfran-
chise millions of voters. The pre-
paration for such step is being
quietly prepared for.
Mr.. Duyckinck says he has
received numerous letters from the
corps of writers who have engaged
to ply every person come-atable
with letters on single-tax and they
have not converted him to Mr..
Georges theory. We can readily
believe him. Such letters as these
people mostly write develop their
ignorance of the science they
attempt to elucidate. Mr.. Duy
ckinck does not pretend to under
stand that theory of taxation, and
of course he does not or he would
not say in referring to it:
Gin my opinion, an excessive tax
drives any commodity from the
market anu the present depressed
condition of the land market to-
day, under a single land tax, in a
few years the tax would consume
all the arabic lands"
1t is the monopoly of land that
is CONSUMING" the arabic land,
which however, is not consumed
but cornered. The land is cornered,
and the money is cornered, wealth
goes almost exempt from taxation,
while the people, the products of
their industry and the necessaries
of life they consume are taxed to
the breaking point. The pity of it
all is they cannot, it would seem,
be brought to see their enemy.

The series of articles by Senator Stew
art, History of the Demonstration of
Silver" being published in the National
Wtatclman ought to put to rest the lies
of the plutocratic press in their attempt to
defend the crime of 1873" That piece
of treachery engineered by John Sher-
man, was tenfold worse than anything
Aaron Burr ever did, and yet he was
ostracized and driven out of the world
almost, while the former is allowed to
still pollute the United States Senate.

"Sound money" is the refrain OF
the gold bug. More money says
the populist, not sounder money.
No money could be sounder than
every dollar Uncle Sam is behind.
If the silver dollar was as large as
a pound weight it would not be
more sound. 1t is more money
every body wants but the gold ring.
The cry of "sound money" is fake
like "honest money!" "dishonest
dollar, +" eight weight dollars" etc.
These catch words have all played
out and the last one in the bag
appears to be ''sound money"
How long will that fake last? More
money, more money is the populist
watch word. The people know
there is no humbug about that.

Gold, poverty, low prices, hard
times and bountiful harvest of
crime are ever associated. The gold
bugs are afraid of the free coinage
of silver would drive gold out of the
country and with it would go COLDS
undesirable company named above.
It's departure would injure nobody,
while there would be universal
rejoicing at the exit of his company.
If the gold bugs go also they would
not be missed.
