Election Supervisors.

The Board of Election Supervis-
ors have decided to have the regis
tration books made to contain not
over 1000 names. The president
will designate the places for hold
ing registration and direct the clerk
to give notice by advertisement
according to law of the time and
place of holding registration in each
of the precincts or districts. The
clerk will secure bids for the fur
nishing of ballot boxes and award
the contract to the lowest bidder.
The board will meet ON September
10th, at $50 a. M, at which meet
ing the election officers are expected
to meet the board to qualify and
receive their commissions.
What is wrong with the nice
glass ballot boxes which now belong
to the county? They appeared to
answer every purpose at former
elections. The polling booths are
not fit for the purpose they are
designed. They are open to the
public and too dark to see how to
mark the ballots.

THROUGH WONDERLAND.
Personally-COnducted Tours to
Yellowstone Park via Penn
Sylyania Railroad.

The Yellowstone Park is one of the
most wonderfully attractive regions of
the world. Its beauties of scenery, the
wild grandeur of its mountains and
canons, compel the admiration of every
visitor, while its phenomenal geysers and
curious neurological formations make it
a rich field for the investigation of the
scientists. Universal interest attaches to
it, and in order that the natural desire to
visit it may be accomplished in the most
satisfactory manner the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company has arranged for a
tour covering a period of sixteen days,
leaving New York and Philadelphia,
Thursday, August Fl.
AS the tour will be run under the per-
sonally-conducted tourist system inaugu-
rated by the above named company, it is
hardly necessary to give the assurance
that it will be arranged in the most COM
plete manner. 1t might be we'll to state,
however, that no other means of seeing
the park thoroughly is comparable to that
afforded by a we'll ordered personally
conducted tour.
A special train, consisting of dining,
Pullman vestibule drawing room sleeping,
compartment, and observation cars, which
will be the best that can be secured, will
be provided, in which passengers will
live Ell route, and whenever the journey
is broken the choicest rooms in the lead
ing hotels will be reserved for the use of
the tourists, for which regular rates are
paid, so that the guests, although
members of party, enjoy all the privi-
leges of individuals who may have made
their own selections.
The party will be conducted through
out by tourist agent especially selected
for his ability and experience, with
chapron to look after the comfort of lady
passengers.
The rate, covering every necessary ex-
pense. will be $2Io from Boston, and $500
from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Washington and Harrisburg; proportion
ate rates from other points.
Detailed itinerary will be sent ON ap-
plication to Tourist Agent, 2o5 Washing
ton Street, Boston: 1895 Broadway, New
York; $50 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, or

Gold Standard and Silver Standard
Countries

There is not a silver standard
country to-day that is not building
up its manufacturing industries and
forging ahead in prosperity.
There is not gold standard
country that is not falling back in
its general prosperity and losing
ground in its manufacturing indus
try. Witness the United States.
There is not silver standard
country where wages of labor are
not increasing and the people are
having avenues for employment
enlarged.
There is not a gold standard
country in the world where gold is
to any extent used as money by the
people, and wages are not falling.
Witness tho United States. Gold
is becoming too dear to use as
money and is being boarded.
There is not a gold standard
country to-day where the circulat
ing money per capita is not decreas-
ing, and there is not a silver stan
dard country in the world to-day
where the volume of money per
capita is not increasing, and pros
perity following the increase.

The West Grove Independent,

The West Grove Independent,
from being unable to comprehend
that condition of general prosper
ity among the people is the best
guarantee for the savings bank and
building and loan association, blum
ders ilto the belief that a limited
monarchy would remedy the cor
rupt practice of bribery and vote
buying at elections. 1t is the I'M
limited money power and privileged
corporation that are the sources of
our political corruption. A limited
monarchy is part of the program
of the money power. The fact of
the matter is the Independent don't
seem to know "where it's at" on
any question, but would like to
help goldbugism and shut up the
saloons at the same time. Well,
that is a paradox, friend. The
saloon is upheld by the money
power and is one of its chief instru-
ments for political corruption. But
the Independent is mixed in gen
eral, even to quoting John Sherman
as being able to tell the truth about
silver.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1896-08-21

perceptibly increased, beyond the
amount the free coinage of silver would
add to it, which in itself would be but
comparatively small addition, without the
government has the machinery in its
hands for that purpose? That machinery
consists of banks of deposit and loan,
just what we have now in private hands,
standing like wall of adamant between
government and people, barring the way
of distribution of money direct to the
people" by the government. These
banks are toll gates on the avenues of
trade and business, exacting immense
tolls from the people in the form of inter-
est for the privilege of doing business.
Government must tear up these private
toll gates, and establish in their place its
own banks to transact that business at
bare cost of clerk hire and necessary
supervision. Then the demands of trade
can be supplied without the interven-
ton of private banks" and supplied with
full legal tender money to the amount of
the security offered by the borrowers.
That is the exact measure "of the de-
mand of business and population of the
country" and there is no other measure
to gauge it by. The private banks are
now engaged in this business. They are
not loaning money but credit and for all
the interest they can squeeze out of the
people who produce all of the wealth of
the country.
When free coinage has been established
the next step of escape from the bank
bondage the people are grooming under,
Through this medium the farmers may
escape from the dead-fall mortgage which
is now holding them down.

Speaking of the great comfort

Speaking of the great comfort a
plentiful supply of fresh water
afforded the town of Elkton by the
water works, during the late dry,
heated term the Democrat adds,
"The town ought to own those
water works, and could, if the
citizens were not scared to death at
the word bonds.'
Do not the citizens realize they
are paying what amounts to much
more than would amount to interest
on bonds to the water company?
Every municipality should own its
water and lighting plants, and if of
sufficient Importance to have street
railways, those also should be the
property of the municipality.
There is scarcely a town in
European countries that does not
own all OF these natural monopolies
and receives considerable revenue
from them which lightens other
taxes. In the U. S. all of this
revenue goes into the pockets of
corporation mOnopolies. We are
the worst monopoly ridden nation
on the face of the earth. England
comes next, and we have a class of
people who seem to never be salts
fled unless we are copying English
methods. For thirty years the
United States government has been
run in British grooves, we have a
great political party threatening to
go mad with fright because the
people have about concluded to try
American ways once more.

The Canadian banks are going to try

will receive United States Silver Certif-
Gates in future on deposit at only go cents
on the dollar. That will be good turn
for the Americans. 1t will serve to drive
home the Certificates, make money
scarcer in Canada and more plentiful on
the U. S. side, which will tend to help
business in this country and cripple it in
Canada. "Whom the gods propose to

The tax collector paid our farmers

The tax collector paid our farmers
and all other property owners a
visit on Wednesday and Thursday.
The tax he demanded was $1.O7a
cents on every hundred dollars
worth ofassessed property. Twenty
to twenty-five years ago the tax
rate was about the same while every
thing the farmer had to sell was
about double in price. He must
now give two bushels to pay the
same amount of tax he then paid
with one bushel. In effect taxes
are twice as high for him as they
were 20 to 25 years ago, or 1915
on the 800. Is the farmers
dollar now a so cent dollar or a 100
cent dollar? Is the fairness mortg-
age $1,000 mortgage or a $4,000
mortgage measured by the amount
of produce he has to give in ex
change for the dollars? This is
what the gold standard has done
for him.
