whers Is the REFORM League 2


II Is said that 49, 600 names were fraudu-
lentIy registered in Baltimore city and Balti-
more county last year. Ifonly half this NUM-
Der were fraudulently registered, here is a
chance for the Reform League to show its
efficiency in securing an honest registration.
The League will remember contest inaugn-
rated last fall 10 GUST Democratic Council
man in the tenth ward, which stopped sud
denly. A recount Of the first precint showed
a considerable increase in the majority for
the Democrat The total registration of the
precinct was 1856, yet the returns showed the
vote to have been 851, and only 3ls ballots
were found in the box. The League took no
netice of the matter, but it is hoped now that
it will enter upon its work ofreform with vigor
and cleanse the registration lists The League
in the past has been quite active in this mat
ter, but this was when the Democrats had
control of the city. Recently it has seemed
to be in state of ''innoccuous desuetude, ;" but
it will have to come to the front now and
make active efforts to purge the registration
lists, or be open to the charge of being more
partisan than pure

For An international Conference.


President Mckinley has appointed Senator
Edward o. Wolcott, Viee-President Ste
venson and Hon. Charles J. Paine, of Boston,
commissioners to an international monetary
conference The conference has not been
called. and these commissioners will go to
Europe next month to try to induce the lead
ing governments there 70 appoint commits
sioners and endeavor to reach an agreement as
to the use of gold and silver as money at fixed
ratio. Every Democrat wishes the commits
sion success. If they succeed in bringing
about satisfactory international agreement
a vexing question in American politics will
have been settled.
Millions of our citizens, however, do not
believe in the United States asking the CON
sent of other nations to arrange its monetary
affairs. They believe in exercising our right
to legslate as we may deem best, regardless
of the views of other nations. They believe,
too, that should the United States establish a
ratio of 16 to l, and open our minis to the
free coinage of gold and silver, that would be
the worlds ratio.
However, the last election was carried for
the single gold standard until an international
agreement could be secured, and the people
will have to submit to the slow process of ar
ranging such an agreement. If the confer
ence should be a failure, there will be no
doubt as to the result of the election in 1890.
The people of the United States intend to
have an enlarged currency, and this govern
ment will act alone if the governments OF
Europe decline to enter into an agreement.

Restless oolored Voters.

The American, the Baltimore organ
of the colored Republicans, has taken up the
cudgel in behalf of the rights of the colored
voter in the Republican party, and is deter
mined to have the majority element of the
party recognized or organize a rebellion.
Here is an editorial from its issue of April 10:
''The work of agitation and education goes
nobly on. A very large and enthusiastic
meeting was held at Asbury Hall last week
in the interest of Afro American enlighten-
ment. The people are certainly aroused.
The good work ought to go on until in every
ward and in every precinct the people are
thoroughly aroused and acquainted with the
program of continued servitude mapped out
by the Wellingtons, the Lowndes, and others
on the part of the black contingency of the
Republican party The daily newspapers,
early in the present week, gave the news from
Washington, that our dear Duke Yelling
ton has been living so very high since the
fourth of last March that he has suddenly
come to the conclusion that he is the Repub-
lican party of Maryland, and that no man
may hope to enter in the political vineyard,
except by and through him. Mr.. Lowndes
has already set his heart upon Senator Cor
mans seat, and the ''big' and little white
men generally, have prospectively partitioned
out the spoils among themselves, leaving alb.
soutely nothing for the Negro except to yell
himself hoarse for the grand old party, and
deposit his vote for the benefit of his white
neighbors, and if thus we are to be treated,
it would be to our interest to negotiate, even
with such man as German himself, for the
overthrow of such an insulting gang of politi
cal hypocrites. Even the Democratic ring
men have this virtue, whatever else may be
said of them, they will surely keep their po-
litieal promises and remember those who help
them into power The Republican party, in
this State, is blind, deaf and dumb to the
rightful demands of that large element Of its
strength which renders any victory possible
Would 1t not be a good idea to bring the party
to its senses by recalling German to power

Cost of Reform.
From tho Port Tobacco Times.

From the Port Tobacco Times.
The assessment in this county cost about
the same as it did in other counties of the
same size, Sc, 600, and the new election law
cost the county over So, 600 last year. The
Republican party claims the credit of making
both laws and therefore is entitled to the
credit of running the tax-rate up about 20
cents on the hundred dollars. Very few peo-
pie saw any need of new election law, but
Performers wanted something and they had
to have it, no matter how much it cost the
people. We honestly believe there were more
frauds committed last fall in the State of
Maryland, and in Baltimore city especially,
under the new election law, than ever before
attempted. OF course, the object Of making
this new law was to prevent bribery, but bri-
berry becomes easy when dishonest men repre-
sent any party at the polls, and Baltimore
people do not hesitate to declare that the
Democracy was cheated out of a majority in
Baltimore city last election.

Economy, Not Extravaganza.

When the Indian appropriation bill was
under consideration in the Senate on We'd
nesday Senator German took occasion to crit
icise the manner in which all the appropria
tions bills left from the last Congress had
passed the House and declared they had not
been considered even by full committees in the
Senate He also characterized the bills as
extravagant and carrying many millions that
could be Topped off. In these days of bust
ness depression and hard times the country
demanded the strictest economy he said and
the people wanted retrenchment instead OF
extravaganza and higher taxation.

SATURDAY, APRIL II, 1897.
Prophetic.

During the campaign Of 1855, Senator
Faulkner, of West Virginia, delivered speech
at Odd Fellows Hall, this city, which was
quite fully reported in the ADVOCATE. Read
in the light of events since, the speech seems
prophetic.
Senator Faulkner described the Allegany
Ring-Lowndes, Sloan and Wellington-and
warned the people against voting it into pow
er. Sloan he said furnished the brains,
Lowndes the money and Wellington did the
work. Said Senator Faulkner
"Now. if YOU elect Lowndes the State viii be run
on the same plan that the machine has run Ale,
gany county-with high taxation ana cohtinual
piling up fdebt
Lowndes was elected, and the people have
been shown the worst bossism this state has
ever known Wellington at once conceived
the idea of going to the United States Senate.
There was an ancient law in the way, but the
Republican ring being unable to repeal it,
ignored it. Lowndes prostituted the patron
age of his Office to elect Wellington, and he
was chosen. Now Lowndes wants to go to
the United States Senate, and Wellington,
who has been commissioned by the Mckinley
Administration to distribute all the federal
patronage in this state, is using it to secure
Lowndes election.
Extravaganza marked the session OF the
last Legislature, and cumberson and expen
sive election and registration and assessment
laws we're placed upon the statute books.
The tax rate in every county has had 10 be
raised as a result of these laws, and in most OF
the counties some of the increase of rate will
have to be continued. The finances of the
state are said to be in bad condition, and state
funds have been distributed to favored banks,
without interest.
This is part Of the Republican record,
briefly stated. The whole history Of the party
in the State will later be brought out, and the
record will thwart all of Gov. Lowndes plans
Of going to the United States Senate, and the
plans of all other Republican aspirants.
The Republican record in Baltimore city Is
equally as bad as in the state, perhaps worse.
There has been continual wrangle over the
offices and expensive Litigation; the city has
been robbed by colored street superinten-
dent, who also made his employees divide their
pay with him; expenses have been increased
and an increased tax rate is necessary.
The voters who contributed to Republican
success in 1896, have long since recognized
that they have not had the administration OF
affairs they expected and had been promised,
and they are only waiting for the election IN
November to undo what they did. fhe re-
buke to the Allegany Ring and the City Com
bine will be complete, and no experiments
with Republican rule will be soon again tried

An odious Tax.

The tin-plate makers wish to boom their business
by increasing the duty on imported tin-plate, to
the injury of the canning industry ana other
tries that flourish by reason of cheap t1n-plate
Another blow is struck at business by abollsh1ng
the rebate on exported tin cans. Now canned goodS
exported in ems made OF imported TN are aloWeu
a drawback OF the duty paid, and thus an export
business has been built up in canned fruits oysters
vegetables, petroleum &c over 4OoOOOoG tl Sis
completes with that of Russia When Russia can
buy tin-plate at $40 a box, while we have 70 pay
$3.50 it. it is evident that our competition Will pc
rendered difficult. Mr. Dingley robs Peter to pay
Paul.-BdItinlOre Sun.
Our distinguished tariff for revenue con-
temporary falls into the same error that the
Ne,os did in its criticism of the Dingley bill.
No believer in tariff for revenue can con-
sistently defend the remittal of duty upon. tin
made into cans and exported.
The Sun and Ne,cs both oppose tax laid
TO protect American manufacturers, and IN
the next breath favor bounty to Gamers so
as to enable them to compete in foreign
markets. The drawback is nothing more than
bounty, which enables Gamers to cheaper
goods, when sold to foreigners. If the goods
are sold to home consumers the tariff must be
paid, and this tax is added to the price of the
goods.
A protective tariff enables the American
manufacturers to monopolize the American
market, and the drawback assists the Ameri-
can Gamers to invade foreign markets. A
protective tariff and the drawback are the
same in principle and practice, and neither
can be consistently defended by tariff reform
ers.
When these distinguished journals, the
Neacs and San, were so severely criticising
the Senate changes of the Wilson bill, it was
suspected they had little knowledge of the
tariff a1d an imperfect conception of the
principle of tariff for revenue. Both, in their
criticism of the Dingley bill, have given I'M
Unstable evidence that the suspicion was well
founded
