nicely that we copy it for the benefit of
our Maryland electors to consider:

to ratity his choice. The Representatives
SO elected represent not the electors but
the boss They are very loval BODY

who has given them their Offices. They
are very faithful to the interests which
have been entrusted to them, but these

A BrOadcIOth Party.

DIR. Charles Martyr, in his preface to
the life and century of Neal Dow which
is being published in the New York
poice, sketches the Wing party's char
acteristic in the following paragraph
"The Wing party, good as it was in
many respects, had one fatal defect: it
lacked confidence i'll the people. 1t was
broadcloth party. 1t looked upon the
country as a probate court in which the
educated and wealthy were guardians and
the people wards. A typical Wing dis
trusted the democratic idea. While saw
ing that all men are equal he was afraid
they would be. \ The Wing
party rested one dainty hand familiarly
on the shoulder of responsibility and the
other on a cambria handkerchief, twice
doubled to prevent the possibility of con-
tamination with the shoulder oflabor."
1t would be impossible to write more
accurate fgurative description of the Re-
publican party of today than this por-
trayal. The old Federal party, of which
Alexander Hamilton was the leader, the
Wing party and the present day Repub-
lican party, stand i'll their succession as
grandfather, father and son. The son
has grown more arrogant and disdainful
of labor, while patronizingly smiling OH
labor for its vote, because it is more
wealthy than its father and grandfather.
The son, and the third i'll succession OF
this dynasty of class government, has
risen above bloadcloth distinction and
aspires to golden sceptre. It believes in
the divine right of gold for the wealthy
few, and court-made law for the people
who crowd the labor world. 1t sets prop.
erty far above human souls and regards
labor as only fit for its servant. By the
sacred right of the vote labor has yet the
power to free itself from its present ser.
vitude to the house of gold, but appears
to distrust its manhood and fears to assert
its independence. Labor admires the
broadcloth of a master and despises the
overalls that cover its own stalwart limbs
The seers are vainly striving 10 pene
trate the veil that hides the future ant
divine whether labor can ever be lifted to
that higher estate where wealth shall be
humanity's footstool and labor its throne

The voters last fall made sad mistake
when they voted only to change the
name of the party in power in place of its
principles. The same policy is contin-
uing the same results.
A contemporary very truly states The
rule of the banks is curse to the coun-
try. They are plundering the people
and gradually but surely putting them i'll
fiancial bondage. If the people do not
strangle the banks the banks will strange
the government.
What is the cause of falling prices and
hard times? Lack of money. There is
less money in actual circulation today
than ever was before. The money is
empounded in the Treasury or boarded
by banks. There is none for business
purposes. Earnings, not wages are the
test of the prosperity of labor. There
may be an increase in wages to those EN-
ployed and yet decrease in earnings on
account of reduced hours and number of
those employed, and such has been one
of the results of gold monometallism.
The National Review, goidbug paper,
says: "The superstition that a banker
must necessarily understand the science of
the currency system he uses, is as sound
and no sounder than the suggestion that
a man who crosses bridge must nee
essarily be an engineer, or the man who
eats bun be baker

"A Jewish Wedding Feast.

There were a great many people COM
ing and going that day at the house
of the wise Rabbi Isaac Ben Nassur
They were not all Cana people, by any
means. The bridal feast was spread
in the large front room opening upon
the porch, and all who had right to
enter were welconed heartily. Food
was plentifully provided, but the mer.
riest hour of each day would he after
sunset, when, the days work being
done, all the invced guests would
come. The bridegroom was continual
~ present, to receive congratulations
and good wishes. With him were sew
eral young men of his more intimate
friends; but decidedly the most impor-
tant figure in that room was Isaac
himself. AS master of the house and
as ruler of the feast, he sat at the
head of the long table provided for
the occasion. His dress was as simple
rs ever, but it seemed to have under
gone change, he wore it with so grand
an air. He appeared to be happy, and
he received great respect from the
throng of people who came to congrat-
ulate him upon the marriage of his son.
So the marriage feast went on until the
midday was past and the shadows be-
gan to lengthen in the streets of Cana.

A Grand Address

The address TO the Direct Legislation
Conference by Frederick Upham Adams,
published in the NezO Time, January,
1898, number, is eloquent with facts and
information on the Constitution and the
views the trainers of that document held
with regard to trusting the people with
political power. But few of these old
Revolutionary buffers had any faith in
the masses of the people, but were anx-
ious to remove power as far as possible
from them.
This remarkable address of Mr.. Adams
ought to be read in every public school in
the State and the subject it treats OIL COM
mented on by the teachers in order to
impress the subject on the minds of the
pupils.
The Ne00 Time should be monthly
visitor in every family. You should no,
be without it. We offer clubbing rate
of 81. 70 for the MIDLAND JOURNAL ant

scription of $500 for the Nez0 Time.

Plain Facts.

Plain Facts is the title of new venture
by the single takers of Baltimore, pub
lished monthly by The Pain Facts pub
fishing Company. Price so cents year.
The initial or January number is mainly
devoted to urging the passage by the
present legislature of an act amending the
constitution SO as to permit the people to
have voice in their own government,
which they have not, strange as this NAV
sound to the majority of people, neither
in State or Nation. Local selfgovern-
ment is the object of the little magazine
" Plain Facts" Local self government
is very important question. In fact is
the "open sesame" to democratic or pop
ular government. Plutocracy reigrs and
over-rides the people more arrogantlv,
uncurbed and defantly, in the great Re-
public of the United States than in anv
monarchy of Europe. If any doubt this
let him compare its Gespotic sway in the
United States with its power in the gov
ernmet of any monarcy. 1t is time the
people were moving to the recovery of
their lost heritage. They have 10 voice
as things are in making the laws that
Cypress and rob them.
But we fear our present legislature will
do nothing. Neither party represents any
political principle, except that the Repub-
lican party in general way represents
the national principle of the party, the
gold standard. The Democratic end of
the legislature represents only an effort to
get into Office. They owe their election
to no principle whatever, except to elect
German to the U. S. Senate for another
term. That is absolutely all. They
neither stand for gold supremacy or the
principle of reconciliation of silver
rather against the latter if anything. As
far as any political principle is involved,
the legislature is clearly emasculated.

When the minis of the United States
are opened to the free coinage of silver, a
silver dollar will be worth as much as a
gold dollar, just as it now is, but gold will
not purchase as much wheat, corn, cattle,
hogs, boots, coats, pants, jack-knives,
&C., as it does now, and farmers will be
able to get more money for their produce
and consequently be able to pay more on
their mortgages and have chance of
getting out of debt and this is what the
goldbug press call dishonest money"

nations credit''! Did you ever know
anything more brazen than that when it

The American Farmers Prospect Not
Bright for Big Prices.

1t is known that the Argentina wheat
crop, now garnered is fair and that
country will have considerable surplus to
export. There is every assurance of a
boutiful wheat crop in India to be
harvested in March. This winters Aus
tralian crop was not blighted and Australia
will not continue an importer of wheat.
The wheat market i'll Chicago indicates
that speculatois believe that wheat will go
down by next July to rs cents. While
cash wheat is go cents, option wheat for
July is SO.
The wheat crop in the Southern hem
isphere is good; if the crops in European
countries are fair lower prices next fall
are inevitable.

The little band of risky politicians who
masquerade as "middle-of-the-road' Pop
ulsts held meeting in St Louis on the
18th inst. and proposed a convention to
nominate presidential candidate for the
Peoples party on the 4th of July next.
Two or three other dates were suggested
but the 4th was the favorite. This is
about the widest delusion that has so far
ever been heard of. What is still more
inconceivable is that Hon w. Barker OF
The american, Philadelphia, encourages
and endorses the scheme and urges it in
his paper. The folly of the proceeding is
made more manifest by the reasons adj
vanced by Mr.. Barker for the movement
The fact is that Mr.. Barker's reasons are
no reasons at all.

Money In Dreams.

Here is "a strange true tale," with
the scene in Georgia, near the flourish
ing town of Covington: A few years
ago negro woman living near Coving-
ton lost son, by death. A week or so
ago the woman had dream in which
the son appeared to her and told her
that if she would go to a certain corner
of the house and dig she would find a
fiat rock, underneath which she would
find lot of silver money. The woman
nwoke and was so much wrought up
over the vision that she aroused some
of the family and went at once to the
designated spot and began to dig.
Soon the fiat rock was reached and re-
moved with trembling hands and high
expectation. A small box was re-
vealed; this was taken out and opened,
and. to the wonder and establishment
of all present. it contained so silver
dollars.-Atlanta Constitution.

The American Mechanics i'll the little
war between them and the Catholics in
augerated the movement of supplying
public school houses with the United
States flag, and hosting the same over
the buildings with appropriate ceremony.
This was all very we'll if the order con-
sidered it 9 display of patriotism and a
useful object lesson for the rising genera
ton. Flags, like all things made of
textile fiber or wool, are prone to wear
ont rapidly from use and require renew
ing. This feature of the patriotic side
was bound to become more or less irk-
some in due course of tune, when flag
renewal day came round. This antici-
pated trial to the sentiment of the order
is showing itself in the Legislature. Del
egate James, of Baltimore, has asked
leave to introduce bill making appro-
priation for supplying public schools with
flags and flag poles. This would require
a large SUM of money which would be
taken out of the school fund and literally
wasted in this idle display of mock
patriotism and sham love of country. II
the curriculum of the schools does not
inculcate patriotic American sentiment,
the display of flags on buildings never
will
The little religious 'unpleasantness''
between the Pope of Rome and the Order
of American Mechanics ought to be kept
confined to the parties directly interested
in the quarrel and the future expense not
saddled on the State, and a soft snap pro-
vided for lot of new officers to eat up
the tax which industrious people pay.
