We are net aware that the
Democratic party of Worces-
ter County needs any advice
or will accept any from the
advocates Of other political
parties. Democratic voters
should remember that it is the
desire OF persons not advocat-
ing the principles OF the Dem
ocratic party or voting the
ticket to sow seeds of discord
among those who do vote it.
In the past five or six years
everything imaginable has been
tried to Stampede Democrats,
but to no avail. The people
are not fools and they can
easily see through the schemes
of designing men, be they
Democrats, Republicans or
Prohibitionits. When men want
TO be served they suddenly
become great patriots and the
dear people are urged to come
to the front and clean out the
other party so they can get in
power the people have caught
on to this scheme here in
Worcester County and when
they look around them and see
the Democratic party headed
by honest, brainy, intelligent,
prosperous business men, they
feel that their cause is safer
in such bands than in the
hands of people who have been
a dead failure at everything
and pay no taxes TO the county.
We do not say that the leaders
in this county are bc,1fef. Who
is? We do not say they have
made no mistakes. Who is il
that has not; But we do say
they are good men, true men
and honest men, and that they
do what they believe is right.

Congress to be null and void
in all its features.
The conclusions OF the Court
were as follows:
"First-We adhere to the
opinion already announced,
that taxes on real estate being
undisputably direct taxes, tax
es on the rents or income of
real estate are equally direct
taxes.
"Second-We are Of opin-
ion that taxes on personal
property, or on the income OF
personal property, are likewise
direct taxes.
"Third-- he tax imposed
by Sections ~ to 81, inclusive,
of the Act of 1894, so far as
it falls on the income of real
estate and on personal proper
ty, is a direct tax within the
meaning of the Constitution
and, therefore, unconstitution-
al and void because not appor-
toned according to represen-
tation. All those sections,
constituting one entire scheme
of taxation, are necessarily in
valid.
1.-The DEGREES hereinbefore
entered in this Court will be
vacated. The DEGREES below
will be reserved and the cases
remanded with Instructions to
grant the relief prayed"
Sections ~ to 81 of the
tariff act Of 1894, referred to
in the conclusions of the Court
in the opinions, are all the
sections Of the act relating to
the income tax, so that the
entire income-tax law is de-
clared void specifically.

WHEAT AND SILVER.

Scores OF thousands of far
mers have been misled into
the silver craze because it
seemed to have been demon
strated to them that wheat was
depressed in price by the de-
monetization OF silver. The
farmers were told that wheat
and silver had declined to-
gether; that the low prices of
the farmers products were
due to the depreciation of sill
yer.
Facts and figures conclu-
sively refufe wild political
theories. Silver never was
demonetized by the govern
ment until, for more than a
generation, the people them
selves, by their united action,
had eliminated it from our cir.
culating medium excepting for
subsidiary coin. The allega-
ton that silver was deprecia.
ted in value by its alleged de-
monetization in 1873, is con-
cluslvely answered by the fact
that since that period we have
coined and put into circulation
either as coin or by paper rep
resenting it, fifty times the
entire amount OF silver dollars
coined during the entire exis.
tence of the government be-
fore 1873, and to-day we have
three times more legal tender
silver dollars in use in the
United States than there ever
were at any period in our past
history. With all these efforts
OF the government to sustain
silver, it has deprecated and
the farmers have been deceiv
ed into the belief that their
wheat has declined because
the government rejected silver
as a circulating medium.
A few months ago the far
mers' wheat was worth per
bushel just about the intrinsic
value of the silver dollar; that
is a little over fifty cents, and
the howl was universal from
one end of the country to the
other from every blatant free
silver demagogue that wheat
and silver declined together.
To-day the farmers wheat is
worth nearly eighty cents per
bushel. and silver is worth no
more than it was when wheat
was worth ffty-fve cents.
Both are commodities in the
market. regulated by the in
exorable laws Of supply and
demand. and the farmers OF
the nation must see TODAY
how they have been falsely APP
pealed to in behalf of the cheap
money craze.
The price OF wheat and the
price OF silver have nothing to
do with each other. When
either is produced in excess of
the demand the price will be
diminished; when the supply
OF either is insufficient to the
demand the market value will
increase, and no political theo-
ries or Legislation can prevent
it. The farmers have a plain
object lesson of the falsity and
demagogic purpose OF the free
silver craze by the largely en-
HANGED value OF wheat without
in any way affecting the price
OF silver. Phtla. Times.
