MARYLAND DEMOCRATS

VrmtlOn Promptly SqurIChed.

BALTIMORE, Nd, June lO.--Chair-
man II. w. Talbot. Of the state central
committee. called the Democratic state
convention to order to-day and an
nounced that Senator \. =. German
would act as temporary chairman. The
announcement was hailed with pro-
longed applause. Il am always at
home with Democrats" said the sem
ator. In assuming the chair. I'VE come
together to-day not to discuss local af-
fairs. / would not give much for the
Democracy Of any man who would rake
up the embers OF the past and nir his
private grievances at the expense OF his
party"
The speaker referred In complimentary
terms to President Cleveland and his
administration. OF the Republican
party he suid It was the party OF the
dead" He urged the Democrats TO bury
all their differences and act in harmony
In accepting acceptable men TO lead
them. For In this" he said, in con-
cluslon, tho only hope OF this great
country lies"
Major Stewart, OF Talbot. was IN his
feet as soon as Mr.. German ceased to
speak. with motion that all rcsolu-
tlons be read before they were referred
TO the committees on resolutions. This
was the first gun from the silver men.
and the vote was looked upon as a test.
II was overwhelmingly defeated, not
more than n dozen delegates voting
aye. The committee an credentials and
resolutions were then chosen by cOun-
ties The convention nen took recess
for half Rn hour to enable the COM
mittec on resolutions to formulate Its
report.
when the convention re-assembled
the committee on permanent orSanlza-
tlon reported the name OF Senator Cor
man as It's choice for permanent chair
man, which action the convention ratl-
fed with whOop. Senator German
made another speech, in which he said
that he would join his hearers In re-
organizing the party so that never
Hgain. within this generation, would II
pass from control In this state and ma
ton"
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported. As prelude the platform re-
cited the necessity for an explicit eN-
preston OF the opinion Of the Demo-
Cracy OF Maryland upon national ques-
tinns. The resolutions favored y tariff
for revenue only and endorsed the
vigorous policy OF President Cleveland. "
The financial plank was stralght-out
endorsement Of the present gold stand
ard OF currency and an emphatic con-
demnation Of the free coinage OF silver
ut a ratio Of l6 TO l.
Major Stewart presented Il minority
report In direct contraventlon to this,
the reading Of which was hailed with
loud applause and which he offered as
a substitute for the financial clause In
tho majority report Major Stewart
then made a speech Of nn hours dura-
tlon upon the silver question, at the
conclusion OF which his motion was
overwhelmingly defeated and the ma
jorIty report was adopted.

Workingmen's Savings.
A. II. LEE.

Since we often hear it emphati-
cally declared by the defenders OF
capitalism that the only difference
between a capitalist and working
man is that the former has saved
his earnings and used them wisely,
while the latter has spent his in
riotous living, it may be worth
while to apply to this theory the
test of facts.
In the Seventh Annual Report of
the Commissioner of Labor, volume
2, tables 1926, pages 1877 and follow
ing, we find an account OF the m
comes and expenditures of 1919
typical families in the cotton, wool
en- and i glass industries. These
families include 22,74l persons, Of
whom 1925 we're children. In 1888
cases the family had some addl-
tional source of income besides
wages. The figures show that it
all these people had saved all the
money that they did spend in liquor
and tobacco, and added it to their
surplus, they might have made an
average yearly saving of $1O3'51 per
family.
Inorder to maintain this standard
of earnings. it was necessary tor

The Danger of international
Honey.
John A. KEYES.

There has been a great deal said
recently about an international
agreement" for the coinage and reg
ulati0n of money, and the repubi-
can platform pledges that party to
do all in it's power to bring about
such an agreement.
There are many foolish things in
this world, but about the most
foolish, and dangerous, too, is this
international agreement scheme,
now being advocated by the tory
element in American politics.
Thrice already has this country
proposed or entered into "confer
ence," and every time she has come
out with no results.
All this time the European money
power has been Tightening it's grip
upon the homes of the people OF
this country and forcing them into
hopeless indebtedness. Notwith-
standing this we are told that we
are not an independent nation, but
that we are dependent upon the
monarchies of the old world and
upon the caprice of the combined
bondholding fraternities OF those
countries.
What does an international
agreement" mean? It is easy to
say LET us have an international
agreement" but do those who use
the phrase understand it's meaning
or consequences? IF it means any,
thing it is that the United States
shall Join with European countries
of commercial importance in the
coinage of gold and silver at some
