The Live Question.

The tariff as leading political question
has about had its day, run its course.
Our manufacturers are successfully COM
peting with the manufacturers of the
lowest labor countries of Europe. Our
manufacturers are selling their goods i'll
the markets of these countries in competi
ton with their home products. Even a
moderate tariff will serve to shut such
foreign manufactures out of our. home
markets to large extent, and high
tariff will exclude them altogether. With
no importation of foreign goods the rev.
enue from imports must cease. When the
tariff laws are again changed, duties will
have to be lowered. Our manufacturers
have reached point when many of them
don't need protection This must give
the tariff its quietus in large measure
and sink it to second or third rate place
| in our politics.
The money question is the one that
must take precedeuce of all others, and
the Republican party is showing its fear
of this. A desperate effort was made by
the party to place tariff to the fore in 1896
but they could not do it. The effort was
only partially successful. In future such
effort must be less successful The whole
Republican newspaper pack, blancl, tray
and sweetheart, are in full cry, "silver is
Dead" ''the silver lunacy" has received
| o,,l forfl, h,,t
the opposition, Democrats, Populists and
Silver Republicans are placing the silver
issue to the front in all their nominating
conventions, unless it is in Maryland,
where the Populists and Silver Repub-
licans have no organization, and where
the Democrats seem to contemplate ig-
noring it and counting defeat.
The silver issue, or rather the money
question, is the paramount issue of the
day and the hour, and the efforts of the
Republican press to act the ostrich in its
vain efforts to believe the "silver craze"
dead deceives nobody, butsreveals the fear
they feel in being compelled to meet it
face to face with the tariff rags thrown to
the wind, worn out garment of an
earlier age.
The banks have taken the Republican
party in charge. Mr.. Gage dictated the
future policy ofthe party when he entered
Mr.. McKinleys cabinet as Secretary of
the Treasury, and proclaimed over Mr..
McKiuley's head that he proposed to fix
the gold standard more firmly on the
country. This ended the last effort of the
party to fool the people with international
bimetallisni, and Mr.. Wolcott's commits
sion came home from Europe with head
and tail down, thoroughly disguised that
Mr.. Mckinley had sent them on FOOLS
errand and permitted his Secretary of the
Treasury to expose them to the ridicule
of the world.
No, the silver issue is not dead, but
more alive than ever, and if the Demo-
cratic party of Maryland hasn't the gump-
ton to see this and act on it it will be the
worst beaten crowd in the country and
will deserve its fate. If the party medi-
tates following this role and looking up
to German and Murray Vandiver for
advice the Populsts and Silver Republicans
must organize in this State. The nomi-
nations this month will show what Mary
land Democrats mean 10 do.

Whiskey and Its Lame Advocates

The liquor party say that the Delaware
license law is satisfactory. All license
laws are satisfactory to the whiskey class,
but none are satisfactory to the friends of
tempeian ce, good morals, good neighbor-
hood, good order and good government.
The liquor traffic is deadly enemy to all
of these.
The only reason given by the liquor
party against the present prohibitory law
is that liquor is brought into the county
from bordering counties, and sold from
black jugs in dark holes and corners to
the most disreputable class of people.
They admit that the liquor trade has a
bad result on the community and is a
source of the greatest evils. No one con-
tends that the trade" has good infu-
ence, but the reverse on society, no one
denies that habitual whiskey drinking is
bad practice, injurious to health, man.
ners and fortune. The whiskey defenders
don't seem to see that they entirely give
away their cause by these admissions.
They virtually admit that if there was not
drop of liquor sold or used as common
beverage that the community would be
a great gamer. But they appear to see,
or think they see, an excuse for licensing
the sale to get some of the proceeds to
help pay taxes. This is the poorest kind
of reason, yet it is the best that the
liquor party can offer.
In place of submitting to the bum and
drunkard class the war should be waged
to carry prohibition, or "local option"
into neighboring counties making it
more difficult and expensive for law
breakers to procure liquor and the moral
sentiment against the liquor traffic
stronger. When public sentiment be-
comes so strong against the crime of the
traffic that no newspaper can be hired to
advocate it and no person retain standing
i'll good society who speaks in favor of
licensing such public evil, great stride
will be made in checking and obliterating
the greatest source of crime and disease
known to the human race.

New Time.

This bright little reformer for Septem-
Der is like the feet of him upon the
mountains who bringeth glad tidings. Its
contents are a hopeful outlook to the
future. The leavening influence cannot
fail to tell strongly on the future, of the
pungent exposures of abuses which like
barnacles are numbering the ship of state,
waterlogging progress and humanity.
To expose abuses and put partizanship
in the back ground is the policy of the
NezO Time, and that is the true policy for
reform papers to pursue. 1t is the fetch
OF party that the political priests use to
beat down the manhood of the people
while they break into their treasures and
rob them.
Direct Legislation applied to municipal
government first as all educator appears
to be the policy laid down by Nea0 Time,
and thence upward through every branch
of government till the top is reached, and
that refuge of rascals and graveyard of the
dead past, the constitutional constitu-
tions-is replaced by the living people,
declaring their right to think, to speak
and command, above the voice of the
dead who were the constitution makers.
Suppressed news from Washington"
is the opening paper in the September
number, and it uncovers as much official
corruption and incapacity to the square
inch as any paper of modern times. The
thorough incapacity of Mckinley shines
through every line while exposing the
gang which surrounds him.

Government Banks.

The closing paragraph Of Senator
Stewards admirable little volume on
finance Analysis of the Functions Of
Money"-is:
"The organization of banks on con-
sentative and safe principle, with strict
governmental supervision and the exclu-
sive issuance by the Government Of the
circulating medium, whether it be gold or
silver or paper, required to maintain the
stability Of prices would prevent panics
and secure prosperity aud tranquility"
The full force of the above paragraph
is not apparent to the ordinary reader,
at least not at first glance. "Strict gov
ernmental supervision and exclusive issu-
ance by the Government of the circulat-
ing medium" means absolute ownership
by the Government of the bank, i'll the
same sense and in the same degree as the
government owns the post office, con-
ducts and supervises its management.
Government establishes the post offices.
appoints postmasters and clerks, furnishes
the necessary books, blanks and other
paraphernalia required to transact the
business and pays the officers stated sal
aries for their services. People deposit
their letters and other mail matter in the
post offices, pay legally prescribed rate
of postage and the government is respon-
sible for the rest.
To carry out the requirements con-
tanned in the above paragraph the Gov
eminent would necessarily have to estab-
lish the bank. furnish its officers, who
would transact the business under strict
orders from the Comptroller of the Fed
eral treasury, to whom they would report
and be answerable. The people would
deposit their money in the bank as they
deposit their letters in the post office,
borrow money from the bank at rate of
interest prescribed by law, with no fav-
orltes among the banks customers. The
rate Of interest would be, as the postage
is arranged, just enough to cover the ex-
pense of transacting the business. That
is the kind of bank the people want.

Silver aud Wheat.

Last year the silver standard countries
were buyers and not sellers of wheat,
hence the connection between the price
of silver bullion and wheat was severed
for the time being, and no relation be.
tween the two existed But this year
Russia has a large surplus to sell and
India and the Argentina Republic have a
surplus, and the price of silver bullion
will again fix the American wheat crop,
because our surplus must be sold in the
markets of the world in competition with
the surplus from silver using countries.
The .Dingley bill had no more to do
with the high price of wheat last year
than it has to do with the low price this
year, although the Republican papers
and speakers tried to make it appear so.
The silver men can afford to tell and
stick to the truth. The goldites are COM
PEELED to resort to all kinds of subterfuges.
Republican legislation on the mouey
question made the price of wheat low,
and will make it continue to go lower
under conditions of nominal crop
throughout the world. Under gold STAN
dard nothing will make wheat bring a
fair price except famine abroad that
will create an abnormal demand that
must be supplied from this country.
Drought and famine in other lands and
good crops in America gave us fair price
for wheat last year. The rate of exchange
between gold money and silver will fix
the price this year.-SiIOer Knight.

The Perryville Record speaks in tones
bordering on the laudatory of the 'splen-
did" war record Mr.. Mckinley has made
in the conduct of the Spanish American
war. This is something we have been
looking for in vain since the war opened
till the present time. Will the Record
name one, two or more of the items COM
posing that splendid record? Mr.. Nc
Kinley is the head of the army and navy
of the United States. The head is pri-
marily responsible for the before unheard
of criminal laundering in every depart
ment except the naked fighting of the
men. The volunteers are all anxious to
be mustered out, and it would be next to
impossible, while Mckinley and Alger
remain at the head of military affairs, to
recruit single regiment of volunteers if
they should perchance be needed.

PilIagers Ancient and Modern.

The manipulators who make war on

may be likened to the invaders of the
ancient empires where cultivation could
only be prosecuted by irrigation. AS the
legions of Greece and Rome each in turn
desolated the empires of the East by de-
stroying the reservoirs, canals and aque-
ducts which watered and fertilized their
fields while pillaging and robbing the
people, so they destroy the instrument of

They Are Reliable.

The American Farmer is sincere in
what it says and whenever it endorses
an article, be it machinery, proprietary
medicine, or man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
We say we have good reason to under
stand is true. For year or more
there have been endorsements Of the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
167 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this
paper. People have written us to
know if this company is responsible,
and if its remarkable remedies, for the
cure of rheumatism, neuralgia, dyspep-
STA, catarrh, kidney troubles, etc., real
ly had merit. We have therefore been
at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect in fol-
lowing directions, or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
the work. But it is a case where the
exception proves the rule. Mr.. Swan
son is a gentleman of character and
personal integrity, and, we believe,
would no more attempt to deceive the
public than the writer of this article
