''Thieves continue their operations in North

stated that there was $50, 900, 600 ready to

Letter from Baltimore.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
BALTIMORE, MD, April %, 1897.
NEssRs. EDIToRs.-Neither is the moon nor the
san made of green cheese. Time, the great leveler
is getting in his work. The chickens are coming
home to roOst, and among the deserters from the
Democratic party in 1895 and 1896 the confusion is
becoming COMPOUNDED. With lis it is no longer as
to whether or not we shall invite the stayers-of
back but simply question with them how they
can get back and how to do it soonest.
Circumstances alter cases :! Mckinley has been
elected and Gold chosen as the standard Did ever
a standard bearer hide its colors so soon? l sup
pose its color-sergeant, General Prosperity has
ordered it off to n hole in the ground and then
pulled the hole in after him IN the great flooded
region of the vast Mississippi valley nature has
most likely washed portion of the Generals fam
lily towards the Gulf of Mexico, across which sill
yer has a standing.
In the late elections in Ohio, Illinois, Michigan
New York New Jersey and several other states the
uprising against "the General has been as phe
nomenal as it has been revolutionary. The good
times appear to be coming again no more and the
people are getting FESTIVE under the waiting for
unf1liled and maliciously false promises Mark
Hanna and his party have sown the winds and
viii reap the whiriwinds, made eyclonic and de-
structive by the voice of an outraged and disap-
pointed people, in revolutionary uprising in their
wrath.
All the disasters that capital and corporations
predicted, through subsidized press, in the event
of Bryan's election, have been more than realized
in his defeat. The result of our spring elections
have demonstrated this. '"rhe handwriting is
upon the wall and it can be read standing or run
ming in daylight or darkness, and it says For
ever hereafter the American people are the sole
Bosses and Sovereigns on this continent The ser
wants we select and pay to serve us shall obey our
orders or else be replaced by those more respectful
and obedient In this great Republic the people
are toprails and riders on all fences that protect
their rights and liberties"

The News, Faulty Conception.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Baltimore
Ne,cs. has a very imperfect conception of
Democratic principles. Recently we demon
strated that its idea of the Democratic posi-
ton IN favor Of a tariff for revenue was alto
gether faulty, in that it contended for bounty
for Gamers in the nature of drawback on
imported tin made into cans and exported.
In the same category, on this point, is our
more than esteemed contemporary, The Sim,
which took the same position.
The Ne,cs of Wednesday erred in stating
the Democratic position on the free coinage
of silver. The Democrats did not contend
that if the United States adopted ratio of l6
to and opened our minis to the free coinage
of silver that other nations would have to do
likewise, but that when the United States
should declare that 16 ounces of silver should
be equal in valae to an ounce of gold that
would be the worlds value. Or in other
words. should the United States coin silver at
n ratio of 10 to |, thus fixing the price of sill
yer at 81. % an ounce, $1.29 an ounce would
be the price the world over, for no one would
sell silver to any European nation for less
than It's coinage value in the United States.
There can be but one opinion upon this point,
and it would be of no consequence whether
foreign countries adopted bimetallisnl or not,
the price would be established. All nations
use silver as a subsidiary coin and must do SO,
and the ratio would be IS to just as soon as
the United States should adopt free coinage
of silver and gold at that ratio.
We are well aware that the Ne,os is not a
Democratic paper, and we have no idea of 50
intimating; we are simply calling its attention
to the fact that it has faulty conception of
the Democratic position on the tariff and free
oo;na0a

The Sugar Tax.

On the fourth page Of this issue will be found
some history Of the sugar tax. There was
much complaint that the tax laid by the VIII
son law gave too much profit to the Sugar
Trust, but the fact is the Senate reduced the
tax as it passed The House, but the schedule
had 10 be made satisfactory to the Louisiana
Senators OF they would not have voted for the
bill and without their votes no tariff bill could
have been passed. This fact was known it
the time, but the alleged independent press
Of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Bal
timore ignored it and raised such Juror
about the bill being in the interest of trusts
that reason took fight and was succeeded by
passion. This same press are now defending
the schedule of the Wilson law as against that
proposed in the Dingley bill. Turn TO the
fourth page and read the article carefully.

Baltimore Tax Rate.

Should Republican rule continue IN bala-
more several years longer the city would be
bankrupt. The Town is now heavily bonded
and the Republican city government ispre-
paring for further issue Of bonds.
The last year of Democratic rule the tax
rate was Sl.70 on the 500. The first year
Of Republican rule the rate was zoo, and
Col Sherlock Swami, member Of the City
Council. in an interview, shows that i ought
TO have been 1925. The council, he says,
neglected to provide for necessary expenses
and showed surplus of $4,000. The ex-
penses Of the new assessment were Ss9,OOo,
which should have been provided for IN the
levy of 1896, Col Swami says, and by severe
" letting alone the streets some $500, 900 Of
expense was avoided. This policy. however,
has resulted in rapid decay Of the eity's
highways, and fully demonstrated the Old say
ing that ga stitch in time saves nine. The
appropriations for street repairs and improve
ments were cat down last year and this, and
this policy not only resulted in bad roadways,
Int the city has been sued for damages and
judgments have already been entered The
money Welded by the tax levy, says Col.
Swami. has been used to run the city govern
ment, and no great improvements are visible
excent IN the construction of new court
house. The tax rate this year, he says, should
be S2.274 on the 500, to meet the necessary
expenses cf the city, but the Republican city
government will not likely levy more than
s.. 90 and floating debt and a further issue
OF bonds will be necessary.
We sympathize with the citizens of Balti-
more IN their affection from Republican and
Nesro rule. They have only themselves to
blame. however. Under the lead Of two
newspapers, who had Interior designs in view
and no care for the city, they voted the
Democrats out of power and substituted a
government the worst since 1867. And
another lease of power to that mongrel party
will almost ruin the city. Republican sue
cess put stop to the Centennial Exposition.
Had that enterprise been carried through Bal
timore would have been at this time the cen
ire Of attraction in this country. Her hotels
and boarding houses would have been filled
10 Overlooking with visitors to the expositioni
representatives of all nations would be there,
and the merchant, the manufacturer and the
investor. Besides, thousands of laborers and
mechanics would have been steadily employed
the past two years, and many millions OF dol
lars would have been spent on buildings and
grounds. All this and much more has bee
lost TO Baltimore in consequence of Republi-
can success in that city and state. 1t is hoped
that the people of Baltimore realize their mis-
take and will get together and hurl from power
the party that is running the city.

Howard County Republicans Not
Fully Satisfied.

ELLIcoTT CITY, Nd, April 17.-There has been
much excitement among the Republicans since the
late municipal election, and it has resulted in the
organization of two colored Republican clubs in
this city For the frs time in the history of Eli
colt City there is a serious division among the
colored Republicans and the acknowledged leaders
of the Republican party in Ellicott City and How
ard county.
The Republican leaders had coored club or
ganized within the past few days, indorsing them,
and as result another club organized last night
at Main street Hall, in this city, opposing the lead
ers and their actions 1t is called the Jones Neal
Independent Republican Club colored Speeches
were made by Charles Henson. Jonas Neal, Nicholas
Henson James Dent, John Tyas and John W. Hall,
and the following resolutions were passed
"Whereas, feeling that the Republican party in
the State of Maryland has no more faithful adher-
ents than the colored voters, and,
Whereas, party success depends in great meas
ure upon that vote, we think that that vote de-
mands recognition in proportion to its numerical
strength on all delegations and committees repre-
senting the Republican party, and that the right to
be voted for should not be denied whel asked;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the colored voters of Eicott
City who registered our protest in the late munich
pal election against the ostracism practiced by the
party leaders, call upon the coored voters OF How
ard county to assist in carrying out the demands
to have equal representation on all committees
and delegations.
Resolved, That we will forever regard as a
political enemy any person who is in any way OPP
posed to coored men holding Office either elective
or appointive, and that we will at all times use
every means possible to defeat them.
Resolved, That we heartily indorse the position
taken by General Shattue in his determination to
stand by D. J. Bundy. the colored lad who has won
the cadetship at Annapolis, and extend to him
(Bundy) our best wishes for his success at the
academy
After the resolutions were adopted many speeches
were made.
Jonas Neal whom the club is named after, is one
of the leading and most prosperous colored men in
Howard county, owning considerable property in
Ellicott City, and is the acknowledged leader of
colored men both in church and State, and it is
considered that the action of this club will have
great influence among the eolored people in the
coming nolitical contest
