The Prohibition Platform.

The "unpleasantness' as Nasty
used to put it, between the goldites
and the silverites of the Prohibition
party threatens to wreck that party
dwarf, and an effort is being made
to rule out everything from the
next national platform but the
single plank prohibition" The
platform will read something like
this:
''The Prohibition party of the
United States assembled in national
convention, declares its unalterable
opposition of the liquor traffic, and
therefore
"Resolved, That we are in favor
of total prohibition of the traffic"
That would make a unique plat
form that no prohibitionist, gold
bug or free silver man could object
to, and the party leaders appear to
have reached the conclusion that
this "dominant issue" plan is the
only hope of keep its 100000
national voters together, and they
declare if they don't stick together
the nation is as good as gone up.

Effects of the Gold Standard.

The Mccullough Iron Company's ex-
tensive property, consisting of iron works
at Rowlandville, tracts of farm and wood
land from % to 1885 acres, fishery on
North East river and building lots, &c,
will be sold at public sale at the Court
House in Flkton, on Saturday, April 25th,
by the receivers, The Girard Trust Com
pany and Henry Whitley.
This is a sad and sicke'iing announce
ment for old Cecil countians, especially,
to read, who remember when these works
flourished, giving lucrative employment
to many laborers and increasing the
countv's wealth. 1t has been nothing
but the contraction of the currency, the
lowering Of prices and Concentration of
wealth in few hands and trusts, which
was made possible by the gold standard
money monopoly. Nothing else could
have worked this disaster and this is but
single instance of what is going on all
over the country and must go on while
this internal British gold financial system
is continued. Had silver never been de-
monetized, the present money famine
that is crowding the bourgeois class down
to the proletariat could never have occur
red, and those fine works would have

among the pushing, progressive men OF
the county.
We will wager hat that every one of
these proprietots OF this once great. pros-
porous iron firm are goldbugs, voting for
and unfolding the tribe of Shylocks that
have sucked their blood, drop by drop.
And next fall every man of them will go
to the polls and vote for the Republican
goldbug English gold standard candidates
for President and Congress. 1t Is as sad
spectacle of intelligent ignorance as that
of the old monk Abecket fogging the
king on the bare back with a rawhide and
sailing the bleeding flesh for the good Of
the moparchs soul To behold such
men all over the country voting for, and
upholding policy that sleeps themselves
In ruin, Is net one whit in the exercise o.
common sense, above the performance Of
the old monk and supersitious king.

Direct LEGISLATION.

Senator Chandler said in a speech
he delivered in the U. S. Senate,
that the idea it was necessary to
defeat a party to purify it was a
mistake, that the party should be
kept pure by the constant efforts
of its friends, and it should also be
kept in power. The Cecil Democrat
snaps at this opinion of Chandler
and applies it to the Democrat party
in Maryland, fondly believing by
this theory the party could be kept
in power forever.
A few grains of practical common
sense used in examining this beauti-
full theory-beautiful to the life
time Office holders imagionation,-
will prove its fallacy. For several
reasons not necessary to enumerate,
such an arcadian dream is wholly
impossible, and all the care it is
possible to bestow ON party by the
honest rank and file of that party
will ever prove futile in q party
where the political power of the
people is turned over to body of
irresponsible delegates. If this
delegate system could always choose
pure men who could not be in
tluenced by the methods known to
the trained lobby, which Is wholly
impossible, the error of judgement
would be taken advantage of by
superior minds to often lead the
irresponsible representative astray.
If pure legislation is ever to be
had the people will have to take
the veto and confirming power into
their own hands, or rather keep it
there, where it rests till delegated
to a few selected representatives,
who may sell out the people to the
highest bidder at their pleasure.
The people tie their own hands and
make themselves helpless victims
by delegating their power of govern
ing themselves to a few agents,
There Is no hope for pure parties
or pure government, or safety for
popular institutions except in
Direct Legislation.

Why National Banks Want a Gold
Standard.

The dividends declared by the
sixty-six Clearing House banks OF
New York, the Financier reports,
after a careful calculation, during
the last fifteen months or since Jan.
LIST, 1895, amount, in total sums
paid to stockholders, to S., S26, O7O.
The total earnings of these banks
were somewhat larger, since COM
parison of their net profit account,
Jan. 9Th, 1895, and March 23rd,
1896, shows a gain of 1906, 100,
making their total earnings $6,631, :
40. The net dividends ON capital
have been nearly 8 per cent year.
This shows where the money
goes, and why the banks are raising
the cutlery against silver and in
favor of gold standard. They
are growing fat on it while every
productive industry is growing
lean.

TRUSS TO HANG.
Guilty of Murder in the First Degre


At 2.45 p. m. Tuesday Judge
Wickes declared James III. Truss
guilty of murder. Both sides closed
their testimony on Friday morning,
and argument began at noon, w
Is. Evans opening for the State and
the Messrs. Constable following fol
the prisoner. Albert Constable,
Sr., did not conclude his argument
till Saturday morning. A. L.
Crothers, Esq, closed for the State.
The argument of the States lawyers
was mainly a presentation of the
striking links in the chain OF
evidence and the strength of the
entire chain. For the defense the
main reliance was in the lack OF
sufficient proof of the money found
at Truss house being Camps and
that Truss account of his move
ments on the evening of the murder
must be taken absolutely in its
entirety except where it was con-
tradicted. The State insisted that
the murder was done between 6 and
7.2Op. m, during which time Truss
claimed he was at home, part OF
the time reading paper.
Judge WickeS at the close of the
argument said he would give the
evidence and argument most care
full consideration. The verdict was
expected on Monday morning and
again on Tuesday, but was not rem
dered till Tuesday afternoon. At
2.3O Truss was brought in and
placed in the dock. Shortly after
wards Judge Wickes entered and
took his place on the bench. The
pending case was suspended and
his Honor stated that he was ready
to announce the verdict. The
Court prefaced the announcement
with reference to the great re-
sponsibility which Truss choice as
to the method of trial placed upon
it and stated the fundamental rules
covering the acceptance of circum-
stantial evidence. 1t was not nee
eessary to go into details as to the
evidence but to simply refer to the
most striking facts and circum-
stances upon which the State relied
to prove the prisoners guilt.
After reviewing the evidence Judge
Wickes directed the clerk to enter
a verdict Of equity of murder in
the first degree" Truss was
ordered to stand up and Deputy
Clerk John G. Williams formally
announced to him the judgement
of the Court.
Truss was in a measure prepared
for the verdict before the Court had
proceeded far in the preliminary
statement and received the fateful
final announcement with his char
stolid GOODNESS. His sole
defense was insufficiency Of the
States evidence. Sentence was de-
ferred till the close of the present
term of court.

The New Tax Law and the Farmer.


The Maryland Legislature terminated
its observation-disclosures sine die-Mon-
day night. The Assessment bill which
has been on hand for three legislatures
finally passed at the eleventh hour and
was signed by the Governor. There had
to be supplementary bill of the Cover
nor's suggesting before he would sign the
bill. What manner of law it will prove
to be none will know till it is tried. Ap-
parently very few if any are satisfied with
the new law. Taxing mortgages disgusts
the money loaner, and among this class,
report through the Baltimore papers
says, Mr.. Tome is numbered. He said if
the bill passed containing the clause tax
ing mortgages, he would foreclose all his
Maryland mortgages, which in most in
stances, no doubt, would be benefit to
the parties who are working themselves
to death and paying the last cent above
stingy living in interest. AS troopers the
most of them will be better off and more
independent than nominal owners, with
the mortgage yoke OH their necks.
The farmer as usual gets the hot end of
the poker. He is taxed on all he has and
all he ought to have. Every other class
has more or less exemption, directly or
indirectly. The legislature was made up
overwhelmingly of farmers, but they
stand up so straight for Consistency"
and the principle of taxing everything"
that they lean back, and money bags
stands behind with open arms, ready to
catch hayseed as he falls.
The blind de1usion which the average
farmer hugs, of taxing everything" is
where he falls down. The farmer is the
only man whose everything" can be got
at by the assessor and taxed. 1t does
look like he never will learn that "every-
thing" in the matter of personal property
cannot be brought to light except the
part which the farmer owns. The delu-
sion of taxing all personal property has
been tried for two thousand years, with
out in single instance succeeding. The
theory looks just and fair but in practice
it is delusion and will ever prove to be.
The parable of putting new wine into
old bottles and patching old garments
with new cloth fits the taxing problem
exactly. The efforts of our statesmen to
apply old systems of taxation to present
new conditions in the very nature of
things must prove failures.
Methods of business, conditions and the |
organization of society are we'll nigh |
reversed since our old system of taxation
was organized, and its attempted adjust
mert to the new era is the experiment of
putting new wine into old bottles. They |
burst and the farmer is always in the
soup.

who had his natural limbs cut Oft

of the ladies was successful and a
sufficient amount secured, but by
the advice of a physician the pur-
chase will be deferred for a period.
In the meantime the money collected
for the purpose has been deposited

thought this explanation was due

responded to their call.-Democrat.

The Manufacturers "Heel."


The peace of the Manufacturers
club of Philadelphia was greatly
disturbed by the bold, Independent
step a member of their members
took in consulting with senators
who favor the reconciliation OF
silver. This bold step gave gold
bugism a chill and the club was
ordered to hold a formal meeting
and denounce the movement. Con-
sequently the meeting was called on
Monday night and five minutes only
allowed to speakers. A series of
rank Rothschild, national bank re-
solutions was read and put through
under the whip,
They denounced every thing and
every member that ever limited at
free coinage.
These manufacturers and all other
large and small corporations and
establishments which are compelled
to depend on the banks to furnish
them with money TO keep going
their running expenses, when the
banks cry halt obey with the
alacrity of the setter dog which
"heels' at the cry of his master.
To disobey is to invite the sting of
the whip, The banks can throw
any of them into bankruptcy in
short order.

drawn so taut by the gold trust. 1t
promises to make square fight
between the money trust and the
