The price of corn has gone UP from 80
to 40 cents per bushel and will continue
to go up as the season advances. Our
corn crop was at least one-third short
this season. Cotton is now coming in
very slowly, and the supply on the plan
tations Is nearly exhausted. Farmers
are selling freely, having given up all
hopes of any material advance in the
price before next spring.
Our people are In favor of the most
rigid economy on the part of the legisla-
ture in the matter of appropriations to
carry on the government. No new ap.
propriations should be made unless abso-
lutely necessary, and old appropria tions
should be cut down to the lowest limit
practicable. When an individual Is in
debt he must economics, and bring his
expenses within his income A state In
debt must do likewise.

The President and Secretary Carlisle
are going ahead issuing more bonds, and
Congress stands like Ounce in the old

useless. uncalledfor public debt. The
imbecility, treachery and infamy Of both
old parties and administration never be-
fore stood out in such dark colors before
the eyes of all the people. Are they
going to continue this Infamous band of
politicians in power to sell the country to
a school of money sharks to devour?
Both Congress and the administration
are working for the same object-tQ load
on the country as much debt as possible
for the benefit of the money power, and
each is trying to manoeuvre so as to
throw the blame on the other party to de-
ceive while robbing the people.

Death of Louis II. Richards.

R1cHARDs.-On Dec. 10Th, at
at Colorado Springs, Col, Louis FL.
Richards, formerly of Media.
Funeral ON the oath; interment
private, at Media cemetery.
We have received the above
notice of the death of Louis Fl.
Richards which occurred at Colorado
Springs, Colorado, Dec. 10th, 1895.
The notice reached us too late for
our last weeks issue which we re-
GREETED.
Mr.. Richards was a native of
Cecil county, Md, born in the year
1S47, at the old homestead of the
Cecil county Richards, about three
miles west of Rising Sun. He was
the son of Isaac Stubs Richards
and the eighth generation from the
first settler Joseph Richards who
settled in Chichester (now Delaware)
county, Pa, and represented that
section of the newly settled country
in the first assembly convened by
VIM. Penn in 1852.
Early in life Louis Richards
settled in Media, Delaware county,
Pa, where he married Miss Rebecca
Williamson, who with one son,
Arthur, about 7 years of age sur
wives him. He practiced law until
two years ago when owing to i'll
health his physicians advised him
to go to Colorado Springs with
hopes that he might regain his lost
health, broughto on by closeapplica-
ton to business.
The deceased was a brother of
Joseph 7. Richards of Phila., the
Engineer of Maintenance of Way OF
the Penna. r. r. Co., and of Jacob
Granville Richards owner of the
homestead in Cecil county. He
leaves one sister, Ruthanna, the
wife of Joseph r. Coates, senior
member of the firm of Coates & Fox
operating the Richards mill at
Porters Bridge.

Revive the Lecture System.

This once popular mode of entertain
ment and education of the masses, has
fallen almost into disuse. We think the
cause is, it has not kept up with the times.
The popular lecture is little more than a
string of fine rhetorical phrases let off by
a professional declaimer. 1t sounds nice
but there is little solid mental food in it,
and the public appetite has cloyed on
mere rhetoric. They crave substantial
food. They want to hear lectures on gov
ernment. They want to know something
about the money question:" govern
ment ownership of natural monopolies,
the trick of banking, how ''water stock"
is manufactured, how it is possible for
people to be starving and freezing with
abundance of food, clothing and fuel
wasting in sight, how ''labor saving ma
chinery" is compelling them to waste
their time in idleness, how millionaires
are made and number of things of this
class the people are eager to hear, and if
good lecturers on the new subjects would
start out the people would flock to hear
them Steps are being taken we learn to
organize such system in Washington.
A great work of the kind was done by
the anti-slavey party in slavery times, and
a similar work is now waited for by the
anti-wage-slavery people. Hurry up the
American Lecture System" for the pres
ervation of American institutions.

flowing on the Enemies Lines.

l propose to move on your lines
at day break, said Grant to Pen
delton at Fort Donnelson. Last
week there was a meeting held in
Philadelphia to consider and advise
taking possession of the street rail
ways by the city. Country papers
are bristling with such points as
the following which we clip from
the Quarryville Sun.
"Let's have public railroads for
all who wish to use them; public
mines for all who wish to work
them; public factories for all who
wish to work. Let all who wish
the product of these buy them at
the cost of the wages paid pro-
ducers. Do you think the railroad
combines, the mine moncpolies or
the manufacturers trusts could rob
the people then? Not much. The
people could buy their own goods
and more than that price no mo-
nopoly could make the people pay"
The bankers of Wall Street-that
is headquarters of the enemy-are
sending out circulars to all the
country banks to ascertain their
views on a proposed Financial
system" they are trying to formu-
late, and for suggestions to assist
them in their conspiracy against
the people.
The people are moving. There
is no doubt of this. There is too
much wealth in this country to
make it a nation of paupers; too
much thought to make it nation
of slaves.
Maryland, though, seems behind
in everything, but like a straggler
driven into camp she will come in
after awhile looking sheepish as the
camp straggler.
