Wall Street Arraigned.

John Clark Ridpath, the veteran historian,
now editor of the Arena pays this tribute to
Wall street. AT a time when the men who
are known AS leading tinanciers of the street
are seeking to control the policy Of the gov
eminent with regard to its finances. it is inter
esting 10 have this bit of history before us that
we may. with some degree of accuracy, fore
cast the spirit and character of their rule were
the people finally to submit to their domino
ton. Mr.. Ridpath says:
81 notice with surprise that Mr.. Clews in
his sketch Of Wall street dwells not at all upon
the benevolent agency of that power during
the civil war. This is an oversight which |
beg leave to supply. There perhaps never
has been an instance in human history in
which great power has so ardently devoted
itself ITO the preservation of free institutions
as did Wall street in that epoch of mortal ago
ny. Then it was that Wall st Get engaged in
the patriotic work, first of destroying the
national credit, then OF buying it up at half
price, then or converting it into bonded
debt to be perpetuatcd for Il full generation.
and finally of compelling the people to pay it
III Il dollar worth four times as much as the
dollar with which it was purchased. 1t was II
beautiful scheme of devotion and self-sacrtice
the like of which history has never before re-
corded. 1t was a Speculation which involved
the life Of the American republic.
The Union was on trial. All nerves were
strained and all hearts were torn. The nation
was bleeding at every pore. Every freight
tram that came from the front brought back
its loaded boxes Of dead. Fathers and moth
ers gathered at the station and each received
his own. The rough collin containing the
body of the patriot boy who had given his
life for the flag was taken by the silent father
and mother to its resting place under the
apple trees. All true men had fearful faces
and stern resolve in the heart
''And while this was the condition of the
nation and the people, the heightened Wall
street was Specializing on the life of the repub-
lie. 1t bought and sold blood. 1t was a bull
on disaster and bear on victory. 1t estab
llShed bureaus through which to falsify intel
Ilgence and to bring the nation to the verge
OF ruin. 1t had no conjunction. Itregarded
the gore Of battlefeldS as the rich rain and
mould out of which its own harvest was to
grow. The more blood the merrer. The
more tears the richer the yield. The mere
war the more debt. The more depression of
the national credit the more cheaply we shall
be able to gather it up. The more death the
more millions. The more horror and dsvas-
tatiOn the heavier will be our Golfers. The
more the people groan the more we will shout.
The more they die the more we will live.
The more liberty perishes and withers from
the earth the more we shall plant ourselves
and flourish and rule and reign over nation
that we have destroyed and a people whom
we have enslaved.f

CAROLS Colored Voters.

Two weeks ago the ADVOCATE advised the
colored Republican voters Of Carroll over
500 in number, to demand some recognition
from the party. In Charles, Somerset, Kent
and some other counties the colored voters
have demanded a division of honors and
offices and the demands have been acceded to.
In Carroll the colored voters have solidly sup
ported the Republican ticket in every contest
for twenty-seven consecutive elections. In
all these years not one has been placed upon
the county central committee or been chosen
a delegate to a convention, and none ever
will unless the colored voters demand recOg
milton.
We venture to assert that if there were
body of 500 Irishmen, or 500 Hungarians,
500 Hebrews, or 500 voters of any other race
in Carroll voting the Republican ticket the
leaders would voluntarily give them some
consideration. No person would be placed
upon the ticket that would be Objectionable
to such body of voters, and generally some
one would be nominated from among them
in order to show appreciation of their party
fealty.
1t is not so with the colored voters. They
are never consulted about nominees, and
never considered for public office. And
unless they demand recognition they will not
receive any. Without the colored vote the
Republican party would have had no chance
of winning in Carroll. They could not win
in any county, except Garrett and the col
ored voters have it in their power to control
matters. In other counties, as above stated,
the colored voters are asking for recognition
and receiving it,
There are about $50 colored voters in West
minister district. There is likely to be a con-
test in the primaries and the colored voters
hold the balance of power. If they should
meet and resolve that they would vote with
the faction that gave them two delegates to
the county convention, they would get them
There are about 120 colored voters in Free
dom district, and they can get two delegates
from that district if they demand them.
IF the colored voters demand place on the
Legislative ticket they will secure it.
If they demand delegate to the state con-
vention and one to the Judiciary they will get
them.
If they do not ask for anything the white
leaders will not voluntarily offer them either
honors or Office.

The Tariff Bill.

The Senate and House conference com
mittee on the tariff, or rather the Republican
members of it, after working to secure an
agreement for about ten days. including two
Sundays, finished their work last Sunday.
The Democratic members were not shown the
report Monday, and were given no time to
examine ii. The report was submitted to
both houses of Congress the same day. In
the House it was put through under whip and
spur Monday night by Il vote of 1856 To ll5.
The daily press have been giving the public
the idea that the Senate yielded very largely
to the House, but the conference report shows
that the Senate receded from lis of its amend :
ments and the House accepted 40 Senate
amendments. The Senate thus carried three
fourthS OF their amendments.

REBATE on LEATHER.

While the tariff conference have reduced
the tax on hides from 20 per cent. ad valorem
TO 10 per cent, they have also inserted a pro
vision for a drawback which is intended to
protect the leather manufacturers in their
export trade. 1t is stipulated that upon all
leather exported made from imported hides,
there shall be allowed Il drawback equal to
the amount of duty paid on such hides,
to be paid under such regulations as the Sec
rotary of the Treasury may prescribe. Upon
the theory, dear to all prOtectOnists, that ''the
foreigner pays the tax, this rebate is wholly
njustihabIe. Why should the government
pay to the manufacturer Of leather and leather
goods Il rebate which he has not earned, in
;smuch as the foreigner who sent the hides to
the United States paid the duty imposed by
the tariff law? On this theory the Secretary
of the Treasury will give to the leather inter
ests Il bonus of - per cent, on goods made
from hides upon which no tax has been paid
by the manufacturer. On the other hand if
the protectiOnist sensibly repudates the alb.
surd doctrine that the foreigner paws the duty.
and admits that the manufacturer viii! pay it
and add the amount of the duty to the price
which he charges the consumer, the rebate cHI
constitute az iHdetensibie discrimination
Hgdinst the 4merican consumer Of ieather
goods. In order that the New England manu-
tacurer may compete with foreign manufacture
rrs in the markets of Europe the government
will give him a rebate on all the goods which
he exports equal to the amount of the duty on
imported hides, while the 10000 600 of
Americans must consent to pay higher price
for their shoes i'll order that the American
manufacturer may be protected Why
should we not get shoes made by our man
utacturers as cheap as they are sold abroad?
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-07-24
Washington County Democrats.

The Washington county Democrats on
Tuesday resolved as follows:
''We arraign the Republican party now in
power in this state as recreant to the trust re-
posed in them by the people. We denoune
their professions in the campaign of 1895 as
hypocritical and insincere, and deplore the
spirit of political brigandage that has become
SO marked characteristic of the political
organization whereof Senator George l.. Well
ington is the head.
''We denounce the high-handed course pur
sued by the Republican party in electing
George l.. Wellington to the United States
Senate in violation of the laws of our state,
and resent his arbitrary interference in the
local affairs Of our commonwealth. His course
in Congress has been counter to the wishes
aud desires of our people, and his attitude in
regard to the cause of suffering Cuba has
met with universal censure. He affords liv-
ing example of tyranny and despotic govern
ment most offensive to all true Americans.
"The hollow pretenses of the Republican
party in protesting to bring about by their
policies the return of prosperity to our suffer
ing people are proven to be a mockery and a
delusion, and we invite attention to the re-
duction of wages, the horrors of striking work
men and the unemployed masses as a suffi
cient denunciation of the inadequacy and
falseness of their measures"

They Snapped Wives.

The Bristol Courier says "A rather
unique and startling state of affairs was re-
vealed in case in court in Mitchell county.
n. c.. recently. Some parties We're arraigned
on charge of fornication and adultery, and
it turned out that while in a sense they may
have been guilty, in another they were limo
cent. The evidence showed that merely the
trading liberty of the mountains had been
exercised and that the parties involved had
considered it matter of no consequence to
the public.
1t appeared from the evidence that one
mountaineer had of his own free will snapped
his wife and seven children to neighbOr man
of the mountains for his wife, musket and
moody bull. The parties to the deal were
perfectly sincere III what they did and entered
upon life in new relation without thought
of violating any law. The man with the other
fellows wife and the musket and the bull as
his own was happy because he felt that in the
transaction his condition had been be!tered,
while the man with the wife and children to
spare felt ditto and no lack of company"

No Excuse This Year.

There are few gentlemen in Baltimore,
who for wears voted and acted with the Demo
cratic party. but supported Lowndes in 1893
and Mckinley in 1896, who. it is reasonable
70 suppose, do not want the party 90 win tins
year.
In 1895 they revolted at alleged bossiSm.
vet they have seen set up the person OF Wei
lington dictator without peer in the whole
country. He is in class by himself.
In 1896 they revOlted because the Demo
cratic party declared for the free coinage OF
gold and silver at a ratio of Ii to !, by indie
pendent action of this country. The Repub-
licans declared for bimetallism by interna-
1ional agreement, and promised to work to
secure it. The main difference between the
two parties was this: The Democrats be.
lieved the United States was an independent
government and great enough and wise enough
10 legislate for itself The Republicans be-
Eeyed otherwise. Both were for bimealllsm,
however, and these gold Democrats voted for
Mckinley, pretending 10 believe that his
election meant the maintenance of the single
gold standard.
These same gentlemen, whose opinions
were pretty well voiced by Ex-Judge Will
liam Fisher, want the Democrats IN Mary
land to again declare for bimetallism, in order
to have an excuse for voting the Republican
ticket this year.
They will not he given the opportunity to
plead such an excuse. The country cOnided
10 the Republican party the task of reforming
our currency system and making 1t stable.
That party must be given reasonable time
in which to accomplish it, and the currency
question will not be an issue on the Demo
cratic side. The Democratic state conven-
ton will not touch the question, and the
campaign of 1897 will be fought mainly on
state ISSUES and the Republican record in this
state.
The contest will be Il straight one. 1t will
be Democracy against Republicanism, and
the Republican party, which is bidding for
further lease of power, will have to defend
its record in this state. Past divisions are
wiped off the record, but this year voters
will be judged by the tickets they vote.
will have no excuse as Democrats for voting
the Republican ticket and if they do support
the Republican ticket it will be because they
are Republicans, believing in bimetallism, by
international agreement, i'll Il tariff for pro-
lection, and because they admire Wellington $
dictatorship, are pleased with the muddle of
affairs in Baltimore. are satisfied with the
weakness and incompetency of the lowndes
administration, and want to see LowndeS or
Mudd sent to the United States Senate in
stead of Democrat.
No man who claims to be Democrat from
principle and believes in the rule of patries,
will have an excuse for remaining away from
the polls or voting the Republican ticket.
By its course at the state convention next
week the party will take such position that
all who profess to be Democrats can readily
subscribe to the platform and heartily sup
port the candidates.
