Very Dangerous.

The greenbacks, after carrying the
country through one of the greatest rebel
lions and wars of the nineteenth century,
and, in many respects the greatest of any
century, and advancing the country in all
that constitutes wealth and progress at
cred to be menace to the credit and
business of the nation, by band of finan-
cial gamblers whose headquarters are in
Wall street. These gamblers did nothing
but work to embarrass the government
and rob it through all that struggle. Ever
since they have been waging perpetual
war on the few greenbacks they were
prevented from destroying.
They have now one of their most trusted
gang at the head of the Treasury. In his
first report to Congress, the burthen of
complaint is dangerous" greenback, and
he has devised elaborate plans to destroy
it. Without fooling with banker Cages
folly, which he alleges is to save the
credit of the government and business of
the people from going to sheol, let us
suppose that the greenbacks have been
made-way with, by empounding or con-
verting them into bonded debt. How
would that prevent the sacred gold
reserve" of the Treasury from being
raided by the Wall street sharks and
drawn out by the "endless chain?
The national bank notes are redeemable
in greenbacks. What is to hinder the
Wall street endless chain gang from pre-
senting these notes at the Treasury and
demanding their redemption i'll green
backs? If that were refused gold would
be demanded for them in exchange. If
that was also refused would not the gov
eminent be denounced as repudiator by
the Wall street sharks for allowing its
endorsed paper to go to protest The
national banks are under no obligations
to redeem their notes i'll specie much less
in only gold. They have deposited bonds
with the Treasurer to guarantee the return
of their borrowed currency under certain
contingencies, or the bonds may be sold
to satisfy the holders of their notes.
In the light of these facts how is Mr..
Secretary Cages plan for destroying the
greenbacks, or President McKinley's plan
of empounding them III the treasury
going to save the Treasury from being
raided with the endless chain, or the
nations credit from protest and utter
destruction, as these conspirators against
the nation and people and outlaws to
Justice claim must result, if the danger
oYs" greenback is not destroyed?
The destruction of the greenbacks
would neither save the Treasury from
being robbed, or the nations credit while
the confederates of the financiering gang
remained in control.
There is nothing will save the Treasury
from being raided or the nation from
being placed under an ever increasing
mountain of debt, under the plea of saw
ing its credit, but ousting the Republican
party from power. The policy The present
administration is pursuing under the
direction of Wall street is leadingto these
results as plainly as the light of day.

John Sherman said two years ago in a
casual remark when speaking of Cleve-
lands "endless chain" trouble, that the
thing to do was to keep the greenbacks
in the Treasury until gold is offered in
exchange for them. This incidental re
mark of Sherman now appears to be the
only Financial policy" the Republican
party place any hope in, and apparently
they seem to place but little in that. 1t is
the bankers of Wall street and the money
cliques that have the party by the leg and
are pulling it down to destruction. The
rank and file who have intelligence
enough on the subject to comprehend its
import are opposed to the gold standard
and destruction of the greenback. Hun
dreds of thousands will in the next year
leave the party and vote against the Re-
publican candidates for Congress- We
expect to see the party practically go to
pieces in 1S9S-99.
The wheat prosperity which is made so
much of in the monopoly daily papers
will have run its course in few months.
What there is of it is confined to the
large cities principally, as the released
money works back to the centers of trade
for supplies. Who feels the reputed
"wave" in Cecil county or the State of
Maryland?

Tomorrow is Christmas. 1t is a
popular belief that Christmas day
originated with the birth of Jesus.
Such, however is not the fact. The
day was celebrated by the sun
worshipers long ages before Chris
tianity was heard of, and was
adopted as a Christian holiday
about four hundred years after the
birth of Christ by the Roman Cath
Ollie Church.
AS the sun seemed to wax weak
err and grow old the sun worshipers
mourned for their dying god. But
at the time of the winter solstice a
change appeared. The % day OF
December was a minute or two
longer. The sun was again return
ing to them and they celebrated
the happy event with rejoicings,
gifts and feasting.
Christmas is the oldest and most
humane and gladstone of all holt
days.

Timid Mckinley.

Cleveland wrecked the old Democratic
party and drove its patriotic element to
adopt the principles commended for by the
Peoples party, by endeavoring under the
lead of Wall street to change the bonds of
the United States to gold bonds and de-
stroy the money of the government that
banks might issue all the circulating
money. Mr.. Mckinley is following in
Cleveland's footsteps, without varying a
hairs breadth from them in his money
policy, and is being guided by Wall
street counsels as Cleveland was, and is as
sure as "death and taxes" to wreck the
Republican party. President Mckinley
is bringing the people face to face with
the same obstacles that confronted Cleve-
land. The American people will never
submit to such policy with their eyes
open. AS soon as they saw what Cleve-
land was at they "histed' him and they
will serve Mckinley and his Republican
followers the same way as soon as they
have a chance. The elections this fall
show plainly from which quarter the wind
is blowing
Mr. McKinley's Cuban policy is close
copy of Cleveland's He is showing him
self by his timid, purposeless course to be
one of the weakest men, if not the very
weakest, that unfortunately ever reached
the Presidential chair. He is evidently
the weakest man in the government
The course marked ont for Congress
shows plainly the party is lost. 1t does
not know what tack to make to avoid the
rocks Immediately before it, if it holds on
the course it is steering. But how to
"bout ship" is the trouble. The money
ring has hold of the helm, and would
rather the ship would go down than reach
any other port than that of Mammon,
and they are bent on risking the breakers
and rocks they are entering among rather
than change the course, while the poor,
timid, trembling President is down below
in place of being on deck.

Friday, Dec. "a, 1897.

1t is coming to the surface that
the views expressed by the Pres
ident's message regarding Cuba is
in opposition to the views of Con-
gress; and that Secretary Cages
bumptious movement in laying his
currency plan before the committee
on Banking and Ccrrency in the
form of a bill is equally repugnant,
and that Mr.. Mckinley is having
hints to curb his Secretary.

A Very Good Parody.

1t appears the Puritan school
men have published a platonic rule
so the scholars think, some Of
them at least-which has been the
occasion for this clever parody on
"Coming through the Rye" one Of
the best Scotch songs. The verses
in the Perryville Record
and are good enough to encore. Ir
fact it is seldom that a really good
parody is produced. This is one
of the few.
