Finances Under Democratic and
Republican Rule.
From the Rplair .EgiS.


COMPTROLLER Marion de kalb Smith. in his
excellent address at the mass meeting IN Bel
Air. last Thursday, contrastcd the manage
ment of the State $ finances under Republican
and Democratic rule He showed. from the
records. that before the Republicans came
into power the State tax was only 10 cents ON
the 500. The Republicans. upon assuming
control Immediately increased the State taxes
to 20 cents and shortly afterwards to 30 cents
They levied money for public school pur-
poses and diverted a large portion of it every
year from the purpose for winch it was col
lected, using it for other purposes. not author
lied by law to the great detriment of the
schools.
They annually levied large sums for the
sinking fund. which is an accumulation for
the payment of the State debt, and failed to
appropriate these sums as the Legislature had
directed.
They increased the State debt. 50 that when
the Democrats regained control in 1861 they
found the State S15, 100000 in debt. The
Democrats lowered the taxes for public
schools. holding the school funds as Il sacred
trust. and with lower tax rate have brought
our schools to as high state of efficiency as
those of any State in the Union.
The Democrats. with little more than
half the State tax rate collected by the
Republicans. have taken care of the sinking
fund and reduced the State debt TO about S3.-
0O0, 600, and if the same prudent. business
policy is continued for Il few years longer we
are assured that the State debt will be entirely
wiped out. Then the securities held by the
State will provide annually in the interest re-
ceived from them IA fund sufficient to support
the State government and likewise maintain
our public schools, with free tuition and free
scaool books.
The State tax. Mr. Smith showed has been
decreased from 80 cents, under Republican
rule. to liz cents under Democratic manage
ment. and of this 17a cents no less than 10
cents goes to the support of public schools.
Which of these two parties, therefore, is
entitled to the support of taxpayers? These
are vital facts for every taxpayer to consider

Let Him Answer.

DR.. Weaver, in his speech here Monday
night. said national politics were not involved
in this campaign.
We ask him the State Senator 10 be elect
ed on November will not vote for two United
States Senators. one at the session next win
ter and one i'll 1898.
Of course he does. and DR.. Weaver knows
ii.
Do United States Senators deal with any
thing else than national affairs. tariff bills,
force bills, finances, &c. ?
OF course not. and DR.. Weaver well knows
it. Then why does he persist in saying that
there are no national issues involved in this
campaign. If he mistakes Democratic voters
for idiots he will find himself woefully mis-
taken when the election returns are received
on the night of November ).
DR.. Weaver cannot be elected without
Democratic votes, and the Democrat that
votes for him casts II ballot for two Republi-
can United States Senators. endorses the
Mckinley iniquity, the Force bill, and every
Republican principle and practice.
Every political principle is involved in the
election of State Senator. and DR.. Weaver
well knows it,
Senator Bennett will vote foT two Demo
Gratis for United States Senators. and upol
the chief state issue, reassessment. he has
record second to that of no one in the Mary
| land Senate. He voted for every assessmen
bill proposed or passed. and had some i'm
portant amendments added to the well known
Hayes bill. Every Republican in the Mary
land Senate voted against the Hayes bill
Would not DIR. Weaver stood with them ha,
he been there? He has always been stauncl
Republican and strict party man, and it is tt
he presumed he would have stood with hi
| party against the Hayes bill.

A Difference.

Under Nckinleyism most of the factories
were closed or were running upon half time.
Every Republican in Congress voted for
the Mckinley Law; every Democrat voted
against it.
Under the Wilson law every factory is run
ming on full time, and some are sending their
products to Europe.
Every Republican in Congress voted against
the Wilson law; every Democrat except one
in the Senate--Mr. Hill-and twenty in the
House, voted for the Wilson law
Under McKinleyism there was continual
contest Of labor against reductions of wages.
Under the Democratic Wilson bill there
have been voluntary advances of wages-not
one advance. but three advances in about a
wear
The Democratic advocate., 1895-10-19

Not a Democrat in Maryland. who has re-
Gently become so independent that he has
gone clear over into the Republican party,
has word TO say against the high character
and fitness for Governor of Mr.. Hurst. But
Mr.. German nominated him. they say, and
Mr.. German is Republican. So they are
jumping out of a party because there is one
Republican in it and into another where all
are Republicans, and one-half of this party
are mostly irresponsible Negroes who pay no
taxes and cannot read the ballots they cast.
This is a fine reason 10 give for political
Somersault is it not?

Across the Bay.

In it's weekly political review the Baltimore
Herald Of last Sunday said no one could have
followed Mr. Hurst through the five lower
counties On the Eastern Shore and not been
convinced that the party is thoroughly aroused
in each of them and that he has made strong
impression with the people. The Herald says
the detection that has been trumpeted abroad
was largely mythical. and that the counties
composing the first congressional district,
which last year gave but 1900 Democratic
majority will give at least 2OOO this year.

Holding on to Wheat.

DULUTH, Oct, l4.-It is reported through
out the Northwest that the wheat growers
have, in response to . secret circular, formed
an organization for the purpose of advancing
the price of wheat to figure where it will
pay them to take ths grain to market. Some
weeks ago IN anonymous circular was scat
tered broadcast over the Northwest calling
upon the farmers to hold their wheat, as the
capitalists of the country were manipulating
the price in order to make fortune for them.
selves. They claim to have positive nforma-
ton that the price will advance from % to so
pen. cent. inside OF few months, and they
will therefore continue to hold it.

Four years ago the Republicans of Carroll
regarded P. j. Bennett so good a representa-
tive of the ,chOle people of the county that
they did not nominate any candidate against
him. His chief service in the Senate since
has been toward securing the passage of an
Assessment Law. Does the nomination of
DIR. Weaver mean that the Republican bosses
of Carroll are opp0seq to a reassessment. 1t
can have no other meaning, because every
Republican Senator voted against the Hayes
bill.
