The True Situation.


1t is gratifying to learn through the edito-
rial columns of the Baltimore Sun, that they
are disposed to believe that Senator Gorman
is far more conservative III his present man
agement of party matters, than he has here
tofore been, Be that as it may, the Sun
should bear in mind, that it is unfair 10 the
thousands of Democrats in the State, to be
eyerlastingly making Mr. German an issue in
MARYLAND politics. Let our senior Senator
take his chance with every other Democrat,
who may desire to enter the contest for the
position of United States Senator. If the
people do not want him, they will certainly
not select representatives who will cast their
ballots for him in the Senatorial contest
Should he be defeated, we believe he will ae-
cent the decision of his party like an honor
able man, and not seek to disorganlze 1t be-
cause he mayhave failed in q laudable ambition
to succeed himself as Senator, Those who
think he has had sufficient honorS from his
party. will exert their influence against him,
as they have a perfect right to do. As to
the necessity of the Democratic party select
ing their best men to represent them IN the
next contest, we fully agree with the Sun and
do not hesitate to urge upon Democrats
throughout the State, to select their best men,
not only for the big Offices but for all the
Offices. We believe the people OF Maryland
can with perfect assurance depend upon
better condition of affairs under Democratic
rule. than what we have been treated to since
our proud old State has passed into the hands
of our ancient enemy, Let Democrats OF
whatever past views they may have enter
tanned. enter the ranks as loyal soldiers
there is no reason why all should not stand
on a broad generous platform, where every
man will be treated according to his true
merits. Get out of the old ruts and let the
fellows who have been living off OF the party
for wears have rest. If any good soldier
be continued by his constituents we shall not
prumble, for they should be the judges of
their own situation. Still, we can take into
the fold thousands of the young and active
men, who have not pushed to the front simply
because they have felt that there was no room.
Some new blood may be needed all along the
line. We want to see Maryland redeemed
and there is no one man who can destroy the
grand old party of the people. Give the
people fair and honest primaries. Let there
be a full representation at our conventions
and if the majority cannot be respected under
such circumstances, then nothing on earth
will suit the people who cry for fair play, yet
are so full of personal hatred of individuals,
that nothing can be seen save through their
narrow glasses With a united party we can
sweep the State. Let Baltimore start of
with frst-class nominations and the counties
will follow Then LET those interested in the
welfare of Maryland see that our legislation
tends to elevate the law makers and bring
peace and prosperity to the people.

An inspection of tins table will disclose
some very remarkable facts bearing upon the
character of the opposition to the Democratic
party in Maryland twill be seen that in the
eight counties Of St. Marys, Charles, Calvert,
Prince Georges. Anne Arundel, Dorchester,
Somerset and Queen Anne's there is an aggre-
gate registered Negro vote of 1921 out OF a
total Republican vote of 20,346 showing
white Republican vote of these counties to be
,O65, and aggregate representation of these
counties in General Assembly 30.
Thus are about one-fftieth part of the 2l3,
3O4 registered white voters of the State
enabled to combine with four times their num-
Der of the unreasoning and illiterate colored
voters controlled as a machine, and elect
more than one-fourth of the Legislature OF
| Maryland.
1t is notorious fact that the white men in
these counties, who have Obtained their own
consent to playing the questionable role OF
imposng upon the credulity and exciting the
race preiudices of the colored people and
thereby consolidating them into Il political
machine. who have by that means identified
themselves with the Republican party, are not
for the most part representative OF the ntelli-
gence. the responsibility or the substance OF
those communities. They are for the most
part as is well known, the least representative
class of the white people in those counties,
and many of them are non-taxpaying.
But these 1000 non-re representative whites
are represented in the Legislature upon per
capita basis of 1861 to each representative,
while an equal distribution of the II members
| of the General Assembly among the 2l3,OOU
registered white voters of the State fixes the
/ per capita representation at 1,S20.
If we pursue this line Of observation still
| further down the table and take the sixteen
| counties of ST. Mary's, Charles, Calvert,
| Prince Georges, Anne Arundel, Dorchester,
| Somerset, Queen Annes, Howard, Kent,
| Talbot. Worcester, Caroline, Nicomico,
| Montgomery and Hartford, we find an aggre-
gate registered Negro vote of 28,039 out OF
total Republican vote of 39,325, showing
white Republican vote of these counties to be
II .2S6, and aggregate representation OF the
! sixteen counties in General Assembly 90.
Here we have little over one-nineteentl
part of the 213, ,304 registered white voters OF
! the State, consisting largely of non-taxpayers
not materially interested i'll economical gov
ernment of tie State or of their respective
counties, enabled to combine with more than
two and oue-half times their own number OF
the machine colored vote and elect majority
of the men that make the laws OF the State.
These facts are shown by the figures of last
| falls election and the registration made last
wear. Were the registered white vote aug
mented by the $1,000 white Democrats who
failed to register last year and the Republican
vote diminished by the Democrats who voted
| for Mckinley on the financial question, but

The Infamous Wool Schedule,
From Philadelphia Record,

The Senate computations of the equivalents
for DngIey bill rates on wooden goods only
need to be stated They make opposing ar
gument unnecessary in the mere reading.
For example the rate is 55 per cent on
second-class wool; 289 per cent. on garnetted
waste; 32G per cent. on shoddy; III per cent.
on wooden cloths valued at not more than 80
cents per pound; lG7 per cent on blankets
more than three yards in length and valued
at not more than so cents per pound; 2l2 per
cent on shawls valued at not exceeding 40
cents per pound; 151 per cent. on knit fabrics
valued at not exceeding 40 cents per pound;
257 per cent on hats of wool valued at not
more than SO cents per pound; Ala per cent,
on felts of the same value; l47 per cent. on
plushes valued at nor over 40 cents per pound,
aud 64 per cent on the aggregate OF woolen
carpets.
The people of the United States can better
afford to buy every sheep in the country and
to put every shepherd on the penson list than
to submit themselves to such shameless plum
dering.

In an article recently published it was
shown how the illiterate colored voters, who
were enfranchised under the amendments to
the Constitution, have been held together as a
compact politics al machine in the counties Of
this State where the masses of them reside, by
virtue of a false sentiment of race prejudice
deceitfully and skillfully imposed upon their
credulity by few INSCRIPTIONS white men in
those communities, who have conspired to-
gether for the purpose of u ing the compacted
colored vote for their own personal and polit
ical advantage. 1t was there also shown that
the more kindly disposed of the colored voters,
who had been assured by years of friendly and
neighborly intercourse with their white neigh
bors and friends, that there was no necessary
conflict of political interests between the two
races, and who were, therefore, anxious to
vote with their Democratic neighbors, had
been deferred from SO doing for fear of the
ostracism of their own race and especially of
the resentment of their own families, resulting
from the false prejudices thus selfshly and
wrongfully aroused. 1t was also shown that
many of these well disposed colored voters
had under the old system of voting found the
desired opportunity of casting a secret vote
for Democratic friends, unknown to the infu-
ences they feared, but that this opportunity
had been deliberately taken away from them
by partisan trick in the Republican election
law passed by the Legislature of 1896 under
the disguise of reform
1t having been thus shown in fact that the
purpose and effect of the Republican election
law is to reconsolidate the illiterate colored
voters OF the State into a compact political
machine to blindly support the Republican
party, composed only of a few white men in
many of the counties, it is now proposed TO
show by statistical figures the composition Of
the Republican party in the several counties
of Maryland and the city of Baltimore, with
view of disclosing to fair minded people the
serious menace of the cause of good govern
ment in the State and the unequal and unjust
advantages which accrue TO comparatively
Flew white men as a result of this manipulation
of the machine colored vote. The following
table, compiled from figures given in the Bal
more Sun Almanac shows the relative pro-
portions of white and colored voters which go
10 make up the Republican party, as it stood
at the last election, in the several counties
and in the city of Baltimore, together with
the representation of each in the General
Assembly:

Prices Of Linens Go Up,

When the tariff bill was about to be framed,
the Republican leaders stated that they desired
to be moderate and to avoid anything like
excessive rates Mr.. Aldrich, when introduc-
ing the amended measure into the senate,
claimed that his rates were generally lower
than those of the house bill. The linen sched-
ule, however, is notable one of many eH-
ceptons la it the senate rates are higher
than those of the house and much higher than
anything ever before known.
Under the Mckinley bill of 1890 linens
were assessed 35 per cent, with few eXcep-
tons as high as so per cent. ad valorem.
Under the rates proposed by the senate a
large proportion of the goods in everyday use
will be assessed from 65 to 85 per cont and
in some cases over 100 per cent. The follow
ing table shows some of the changes in the
cost of medium and low grade linens:
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-06-19

The domestic manufacturers in whose inter-
ests these changes are supposed to be made
have stated that they do not deserve over 80
per cent. duty on linen goods, and one Of the
principal manufacturers of linen and cotton
handkerchiefs in America (of Acheson, Har-
den 4 Co., Passaic, n. J. states that he does
not desire any advance of duty on his goods
The gross injustice of these duties can be
appreciated when it is remembered that, owing
to climatic conditions, good fiber flax cannot
be grown or linen manufactured successfully
in this country, and when it is further remem,
bered that the kind of linen taxed is the kind
that is used by the poorest classes, while a
much lower duty is put on the finer grades.
