no doubt is the reason they were
not published. The chairman of
the executive committee made a
very sudden and unexpected de
.parture for. Tallahassee on receipt
of that letter and it is currently
rumored that Governor Bloxham
is determined to know how those
private letters were distracted
from his office. Chairman Har-
ris in his remarks at'sthe commit

Bitch was responsible for the let

ever this may be, it 5iss certainly

A common phrase Of discomfort,
often quoted during the recent Presi-
dental campaign, and certainly not
discountenanced by Mr. Bryan him
self, is that the rich are growing
richer and the poor poorer. On the
surface the statement might appear
to be true, particularly in season of
hard times like that through which
the country has recently passed and
from which it now appears to be
emerging. The pressure, however, il
should be remembered, was felt by
the wealthy as well as by those in
humber circumstances, for what
affects the latter must naturally affect
the former. The well-to-do have had
to exercise a certain economy equally
with those living by daily wage.
But is it true as a general principle
i'll this country that the rich are in

iority, not minority, as some of these
Democrats would have it, and if the
latter would win the State they must
win actual bona-fide Republican
votes, and a good many of them in
addition to the votes of the recalci-
trant Democrats who strayed from the
fold in 1895. The latter was disgust
ed with the methods of the party,
especially its periodical exclusion of
the Republicans from the polls, or the
multiplying of their influence by bogus
ballots, and in cOmmendable spirit
they came to the relief of their OPP
pressed fellow citizens.
The votes of the independent Dem
ocrats were necessary to overcome
the thousands of bogus names on the
registration lists. Ten thousand Dem
ocrats probably voted the Republi-
can ticket, and the determined atti-
tude assumed by the Republican par
ty and usually perfect organization
prevented the polling Of many bogus
ballots that had previously contribut-
ed to the success OF the Democratic
ticket Ten thousand is large allow
ance for the dissatisfied Democratic
vote in November, 1895. Hurst receiv-
ed 106, 1G9 votes, and Brown, who was
elected by a phenomenal majority in
1891, received only 2,270 more votes
But Lowndes' plurality was 1875
nearly nine thousand more than The
estimated support he received from
| the Democrats, and this is independ
ent of the thousands of Illegal votes
polled for the Democratic ticket il
Baltimore and the counties.
The Democrats who left their party
were of'two classes: Those who were
dissatisfied with their party for purely
personal reasons, or because of scan
dalOus methods, and those who dis
approved of its principals and were
disguised with the disastrous results
which their practical enforcement
had brought upon the country. Th'
latter largely outnumbered the form
er, and for the very reason which in
duced them to leave in 1895, they vii
remain in and vote with the Republi
can party hereafter.
1t must also be borne in mind tina
when men, for any cause, desert par
ty in large numbers, very many o
them never return. Some men clinI
to party and vote with it through
habit The number of such, if
could be accurately ascertained, woul'
be surprising. When the habit i
once broken it is the severance of tn
tie that binds them, and they elm
just as tenaciously to the new conneC
lions they have found. But even
every Democrat who voted with tn
Republicans were to return to hi
party, there would be no reasonabl
hope of Democratic success in Mary
land, provided the Republican part
maintained its organization and di
cipline, and brought out its fu
strength at the polls. The Republ
cans have close on to a margin of tie

creasing their stores, while the poor
are becoming more and more strait
ened? Mere grumbling assertion is
not a sufficient answer. The only
Just way to deal with it is to give
facts and figures, which Mr.. Carroll
D. Wright does in the September
Atlantic. Taking the census of 1850,
we find that the average earnings of
each employee engaged in manufact-
uring and mechanical pursuits, in
Guiding men, women and children,
were in round numbers, %247; in 1860,
$3.50; in 1870, 1902 in 1880, $3+7, and
in 1890, $445, Here is steady, posi-
tive increase in the average annual
earnings of the employees in our great
industrial pursuits.
| While there may be no doubt that
those who are already wealthy are
increasing their possessions, it is no
less a fact that the relative number
of poor men is decreasing. Mr.
Wright notes that in 1870 there We're
-, 500, 1913 persons engaged in support
ing themselves, and the remainder of
the people, that is to say, 32.f3 per
cent. of the total population were so
engaged In 1880 the number OF
bread winners was 1892, 099, or 3i.67
per cent. of the total population. In
1890 this number had risen to %, 49,,
661, or 3G.31 per cent. of the total pop
/ ulation. BY bread winners is
meant all who are engaged either as
wage -earners or salary receivers, OF
proprietors, of whatever grade OF
description, and all professional per
sons-in fact anyone who was i'll any
way engaged in any gainful pursuit
, The figures speak eloquently fol
themselves, and show that the pro
portion of the total population thus
employed is increasing.
, The most remarkable fact abou'
the statistics considered by Mr.
Wright is that the number engaged
! in the lowest walks of business, labor
ers and the like, is decreasing i'll pro
portion, while those employed in TIN
higher walks is increasing in humble
relatively to the whole population
The fact is interesting from man.

Current events tend to confirm the
popular impression, III never rains
but it pours" For weeks past
there has been an uninterrupted ad-
vance in the market price of wheat,
until it is now worth nearly thirty
cents Il bushel more than at the cor
responding date year ago. Other
grains. and wool and pork have also
enhanced in value, and now the i'm
Drovement is extending to the cattle
growers. \ few days ago the tele-
graph columns Of the daily press an
nounced that the packers i'll the west
had advanced the price of canned
meats, and yesterday dispatch from
Omaha stated that an almost prece-
dented demand had sprung up for
.etockers and feeders, and that prices
for this class of cattle were advancing
rapidly. There has been a steady
decline in the number and value OF
beef cattle in this country since 1892,
the decrease in number during that
period being estimated at over 1000,
deGFeas1 III the value or cattle on the
southern and southwestern ranges
amounted to nearly So, 0G0,O 600, al
though there was an increase il the
northern and northwestern states OF
more than $11 100000. The cause of
the loss and depreciation is not diff
cult to determine. The industrial
depression which prevailed from 1893
to 1S95 reduced the purchasing power
of the masses and curtaied the CON
sumption Of meat Now the return
to industrial and agricultural pros
perity promises better employment of
labor, better wages and larger con
sumption, and the recovery in the
cattle trade is likely to be more rapid
than the previous decline.
