Can it be True.

There are four banks in this
county we heard a farmer, an in
telligent, business man, make the
statement, that each and every one
of them makes more clear money
as dividends and undivided profits
than all the farmers combined in
Cecil county. The profits to be de-
rived from farming, not from out
side business, the capital invested
to be charged five per cent as the
banks do, before striking the
dividend or setting aside profit.
Can this be true? The farmer
spoke very positively, as though it
was susceptible of proof. Think OF
a single bank, any one of the four,
clearing more money in a year than
the combined farms of a county OF
$4,000 population as favored as
Cecil county in soil, climate and
proximity to great business centers
If such is a fact there is something
rotten in Denmark, and it is high
time farmers were finding it Out
and seeking remedy.

Tom Reed on Silver.

Last week Hon. Thomas b. Reed
Was nominated in the first Maine
district to succeed himself in
Congress, and he made'a speech in
accepting the nomination on the
money question. There never was
a more ingenious speech of how not
to do it delivered. Mr.. Reed COM
pletely lodges the whole theory OF
the question, misconstrues facts,
uses illustrations that do not illus
trate, assumes results that are i'm
possible, denies or misinterprets
the plainest lessons of history, and
does this all in the most ingenious
manner frequently by citing
familiar business maxims which
have no proper RELEVANCY to the
point, and thus evadesand leads the
mind of his audience away from it.
Mr.. Reeds speech read by the light
of intelligence shows most clearly
the dishonesty and wholly indie
fensable position of the jew gold
standard. There never was a
greater fraud concocted in the
world than the gold standard, and
Mr.. Reeds speech is in evidence o.
the fact.

Restore Free Coinage and the Pros
porous Times Which Existed in
Those Days Will Return.


Of all the mouey in the world gold is
the least used by, and the least useful al
present to, the American people. They
seldom see gold piece. Since silver has
been demonetized gold has become almost
stranger to the people. Before the slave
rebellion gold was in constant use
Everybody used gold dollars and purses
were made with apartments or pockets
for keeping gold coins separate from
silver. There was about as much gold in
circulation i'll the SOS as silver. Silver
dollars were seldom seen. The silver
dollar was worth three cents more than
the gold dollar, becuse the French minis
coined silver, all that was taken to the
innts, at ratio Of ISL to 1. This held
up the price of bullion silver to the coin,
age value of the French minis and above
the coinage value of our minis, which was
IS to I. This condition had existed from
1903 up to 1873. 1t is plain in the face Of
these facts, if the United States minis had
remained open, there would have been nc
change, but gold and silver would have
remained in the same relation to each
other that they had for thousands Of
years, and the present distress the people
have suffered and are suffering could
never have existed. Had Congress or the
people known of, or suspected the diabol
ical conspiracy which was being worked
by John Sherman and the Rothschilds,
the black deed never could have been
accomplished.
If the condition which existed from
1873 down, or back through the ages
which was the free coinage of silver the
same as gold, is restored, gold and silver
money will assume their old time posi-
tons and the gambling in gold will stop,
gold will become as plentiful as silver in
circulation, because it would be worth nc
more and the present inducement foi
gamblers to corner and hoard it would nc
longer exist. 1t is passing strange that SC
many sensible, business men cannot see
and understand these plain facts of his
tory. Large numbers of them ought tc
remember them we'll. The stuff and soph
istry published by the Rothschild daily
press is false as any thing ever concoctec
by the father of lies.
After Bryan's election and silver /.
next year renlonetized the people will be
surprised that they could ever have beer
imposed upon by such transparent fiction
The entire gold basis or standard is {
shallow cheat concocted by panw
broker race of Jews who have managed
to get control of the daily press, by
which they have thus far succeeded il
fooling and buncoing the people.

What 1t Costs the Farmers.

We have goldbug club i'll Rising Sun,
and strange to say few farmers are
members of the club. And farmers who
have received liberal education, conse-
quently cannot plead ignorance of the
ultimate object of the club. Farmers
whose farms are of the average size and
over have in the last ten to twenty years,
contributed $1,000 annually to sustain the
goldbug financial policy, and so enamor-
ed are they of this policy they are willing
to continue contributing annually $1,000
while they have anything left. They
don't care for their families. The gold
bug policy must be upheld if it takes the
last grain of salt they have to do it,-and
their families turned out of house and
home, take to the road and start OH a
journey which has no stopping place but
the grave. These farmers know this
because they haye received liberal edu-
cation, but they feel they must make this
terrible sacrifc because the existence of
the republican party depends upon it, the
salvation of the party requires it, and they
will freely continue to contribute $1,000 a
year to sustain the party while they have
anything left to give.
In shame and confusion some of these
farmers sdeny their sacrifice to Moloch,
but they cannot hide it. They can use a
pencil and cipher. In twenty years the
price of their farms has fallen to one-half
The products of their farms have fallen in
price steadily in all these years, every
succeeding year being less till the present,
which has brought lower level of prices
than ever before, wheat So cents, oats IL
and IS cents, potatoes down to zero and
thousands of bushels thrown out to rot.
Such figuring proves clearly enough
that the heretofore prosperous farmer
who has joined the goldbug club and cast
i'll his lot with the goldbug crusade against
humanity, has been paying $1,000 year
to the Moloch, and he is giving public
notice that he intends to continue to pay
while he has bushel of wheat, a ton of
hay or hen to lay an egg for the great
goldbug cause, because it is the cause of
the republican party. 1t matters not
what becomes of the farmer, his family or
the people, the party must be supported.
The farmers, the people are made for the
party, the party was not made for the
prosperity of the people. They are bound
to give of their substance and their votes
as long as theyare able to toll and stand
erect like men, and when poverty and
want has brought them down to crawl as
the beasts of the field they can bless the
good old party" and die They will
have fought the good fight, they will
have kept the faith, henceforth for them
is pauper's grave, and that is a glorious
reward for free American. The gold
bug club in life and pauper's grave in
death

"See the Conquering Hero Come. -

The journey Of w. J. Bryan from
his home in Nebraska to New York
was one continual ovation. People
hocked to the train at every stop
ping or halt it made, day and night
to see the candidate and shake
hands. He was called out of his
berth in the dead hours of the
night and in the early morning be-
fore the birds had left their perch.
The people wanted to see and hear
their candidate, the first they have
had in many years, and their next
President, the peoples president.
Mr.. Bryan's journey has been a
triumphal march, a long ovation,
as no candidate ever received be-
fore. At every town of any size
thousands thronged the platforms
and streets abont the stations to
greet their candidate. At the
Madison Square Garden, New York,
where the notification meeting was
held the people were out in tens of
thousands to see and hear the great
orator.

Farmers Problems.

Search for the truth is the noblest oceupotior
of man; its publication duty.-DE STAEL.
'In the year 1884, over sixty years ago
George Wolf, Governor of one of the
great states of the Union, speaking of the
condition of things then prevalent, said
in message to the people:
1T cannot be denied that every incor-
poration that is authorized, and every
monopoly that is established, even for the
most useful public purposes, is devia-
ton from that republican simplicity which
the principles upon which our admirable
form of government is predicated would
seem to iuculcate, and virtual encroach
ment upon our liberties. By multiplying
these formidable, irresponsible public
bodies, we shall, in process of time, raise
up within the commonwealth an aristo-
cratical combination of power, which will
dictate our laws and put at defiance the
government of the people,
THE Farm Journal commends these
warning words of Governor Wolf to the
paople at this time, and expresses the
hope that they will be we'll pondered
How far have they become true? Monop-
oily now is rampant ard submits to no re-
straint. 1t threatens the happiness of the
people and bodies mischief TO republican
institutions"
Under the above caption the Farm
Journal is doing grand work in the field
of reform by exposing the abuses which
have ran riot in our public affairs. 1t is
not the fault of the corporation or art-
fetal person created by the government
that such abuses have spread and usurped
the powers Of government, but the abuse
of law, wrong comprehension of the
power and duty Of government.
The corporation is great multiplier of
wealth. 1t is the power of many in one,
the e PlnribHS mum in trade and bnsi-
ness. All that is required of the govern
ment, which creates corporation, is that
its hand should be always kept upon this
giant child of its creation and not allow it
to grow into that monstrosity, the monor-
oily and trust. The corporation should be
supervised by the State or nation that
creates it. No watered stock should be
allowed to be issued. An itemized state
ment should be published monthly, and
the prices of its products held down, so
that this government-inade person should
be made to administer to the public
benefit and not to that of close corpora
ton and select few, which soon begins to
produce the rank, noxious weed in society
known as the millionaire, and the poverty
stricken tramp. It is the neglect of duty
OH the part ofgovernment that has caused
our present ills economic.

"There can be no prosperity
when low wages are paid. There
can be no distress when the rate OF
wages is high"
So said the Irish Tammany brave
Bourck' Cochran in speaking for
Mckinley and against silver. So
says the Peoples Party and they
have persuaded the people to give
it trial, by remonetizing silver
and giving the workers more work
and more wages. They are going
to elect Bryan and do that very
thing. They are sick of hearing
goldbug lies about wages.

The many subterfuges the gold
bug press is driven to, show the
weakness of their case. The peO
pie are studying the financial prob
lem and unmasking all their shall
low tricks. The 50-cent dollar has
become an old chestnut with the
people. They see through the
sophistry. So also about the wages
of the laberers purchasing so much.
Most of the "laborers" are idle half
the time, which makes the gold
dollar a 50-cent dollar in truth.
And the farmers wage is the price
of his crops, which do not yield
him % cents day. Steadily the
goldbug sophistry is being exposed.
A little thought on the part of the
people is all that is necessary to
demolish their refuge Of lies.
