The Ne7Vayk Ledger prints the follow
ing mendacious assertion about this
county "There is more liquor drunk i'll
Cecil county today by minors than ever
before. There are more men making
themselves criminals than ever before .
If the Ledger will give its authority
for this statement a great many people
would tender their thanks. But that 1t
cannot do, for it is nothing but bald
assertion, paid for very likely by the
Liquor Association.
Four years ago these same whiskey
yarns were kept going, and the same old
lies are brought out to do duty again.
The whiskey nien then as now furnished
free liquor by the jug to any who would
drink. When pretty drunk the fools were
turned out OH the streets and told to
"holler" and make a noise. When made
drunk in the licensed saloons they are
hidden away till they sleep off the effects
of the liquor. And many booty sleeper
has walked up to find all his money gone
The sleeping fund is always handy to pay
high license in Delaware and other
license States. If the liquor business is
legitimate commercial traffic let the
license be on par with other traders
license, and not a monopoly license. AS
A restrictive measure in the interest OF
temperance, good morals and all that, the
high license saloon is no better than
speak-easy, in fact it is the worse of the
two. The high license shop is tempta-
ton to more influential and respectable
class of the community. The genteel
humbugs, professors of colleges, tipping
ministers, the priest and Levite who pass
by on the other side, are the sort of gen
try found standing up for high license.

Taxing Industry and Exempting the
Idle

The fact that the three per cent. bonds
that were issued are already at premium
is an irresistible, inducement for every
man who has money to hold on to it till
the next bond issue. We venture to say
that at no time i'll the history of the Unit
ed States was money so scarce i'll general
circulation as it is today, and that the
taxes which have been imposed to raise
money will be more oppressive on the
people than any expedient ever resorted
to by this government.-Silve Knight.
Two hundred million dollar bonds were
advertised for sale by the government to
draw 3 per cent. interest, and bids for
them ran up to over thirteen hundred
millions. This tells the tale of lack of
business to employ and invest money in,
more eloquently and convincingly than
any words can do Business will not pay
so much as 3 per cent. OH capital invested
and thousand millions are offered for
government bonds. With all ever grow
ing scarcer circulation the taxes rise to
pay interest on this and other national
debt, and prices continue to fall. How
are the producing classes to find money
to pay this revenue with property de-
clining in value The rich, who have in
comes, have bulldozed or bribed the Su-
preme court to reverse thelaw taxing them,
which stood for hundred years and was
sustained by former courts whose judges
were far superior in legal ability to any
now on the bench, are lodging the pay
ment of their fair share of the tax and
investing their money i'll government
bonds that are exempt from all tax. They
rush to put thousand millions of their
cash where 1t cannot be touched by tax
collector and procure decision from the
Supreme court to place their income from
ing power.

Bonds and GreenbaCks.

When Cleveland issued bonds wheat
fell in price. When Mckinley issued
bonds wheat fell The reason for this
drop in price, not only of wheat but OF
everything else pretty much on the mer-
chandise market, is because money is
taken out of business and boarded to be
invested in bonds. When the govern
ment offered $500, ooo, 900 bonds for sale,
seven or eight times that amount OF
money was held ready to invest in them,
to the exclusion of employing the money
in business. Had Congress issued $780,
600, 900 or any necessary part of that sum
as outlay for war purposes demanded, IN
greenbacks, the money would have gone
into business to advance and stiffen
prices. In the latter case the people
would have been benefited; in the former,
bond traders and money loaners are only
benefited bv the loss of the industrial
classes, the wheat, cotton and food pro-
ducers, manufacturers, mechanics, labor
ers etc., who will be taxed to pay prin-
cipal and interest on the bonds, which
are exempt from all tax. Our government
under its present management is gov
eminent for the rich and taxing ma
chine for the industrial and wealth
creating class.
In England the rich pay most of the
government taxes In the United States
the rich pay comparatively little of them;
Under the present regime our national
government has become the protector OF
the rich and heecer of the poor.

Alcohol and Debt.

The bank policy for conducting bust
ness is on debt not with money. The
bank or credit policy of this nation is the
debaucher of business. The bank to the
business world occupies the position
which the saloon holds in the moral and
social atmosphere. Men pledge their
property and borrow credit of the bank
and feel rich. They lay out for extensive
business, but low prices blast their intox-
icated hopes and bankruptcy follows.
The man who gathers inspiration from
the saloon feels strong and rich but his
sober moments find him both sadder and
wiser. The man who does business on
debt when settlement day comes is both
sadder and wiser. Manifestly those results
must follow their causes as surely as night
follows the day. The stimulus Of alcohol
draws on the vital powers for present ex-
penditure leaving the natural capital of
the man poorer and weaker 10 that eX-
tent; so also the stimulus of debt draws
upon the capital or accumulated wealth
of industry to pay interest, while the in
sufficient quantity of the circulating me-
dunn causes a chronic condition of falling
prices for products of industry, and an APP
preciating value of money, thus widening
the gulf between the creditor and debtor,
making the obligation when pay day
comes harder to meet than anticipated,
impoverishing the debtor by exhausting
his capital while the creditor is enriched
by the farmers loss. Alcohol consumes
the vital power of the man while deceiv-
ing him with borrowed strength. Debt
consumes the vital power of industry by
deceiving it with fictitious riches while
interest is devouriug its substance.

fact that those who read reform papers are
best posted OH all subjects, political or
social. 1t is astonishing at the ignorance
among the people who are voters. This
lamentable fact is everywhere noticed by

tributable to the fact that the people are

living that they seem to feel that they

APPoINTMENT OF BERRY.
Said In Omaha That He Will Rank
O'MelvenY.

The story comes from Omaha that
the appointment of Chief Engineer Ber-
ry of the Union Pacific as consulting
engineer of the Short Line means that
Chief Engineer O'Melveny OF the latter
road will be subordinate to Mr.. Berry.
The Bee of that city has the follow
ing interesting gossip concerning the
matter:
That the Union Pacific railroad is
gradually securing control of the Ore
gon Short Line appears to be made
more certain every day. The latest an
nouncement along this line is the ap-
pointment of John B. Berry, chief en-
gineer of the Union Pacific, as consult
ing engineer of the Oregon Short Line
THE appointment viii be effective on
Nov. Is. but it has already been an
nounced by General Manager Bancroft
of the Oregon Short Line. Mr.. Berry
left here for the west in his private
car on Friday, and it is thought he will
be in Salt Lake City within few days
to assume formal charge of the en-
cheering department of the Oregon
| Short Line His principal office will
still be maintained in this city, but he
will also have an office in Salt Lake
City John c. O'Melveny, at present
chief engineer of the Short Line, and
formerly division engineer of the Union
Pacific in charge of the Short Line
work, win remain in his present posi-
ton, but will be subordinate to Mi.

Question of Attorneys Fees.

Nelson Sandberg, plaintiff, vs.. the
Victor Gold & Silver Mining company
ct al, defendants, Frank Knox, re-
spondent Brown & Henderson, appel
lantg, reversed; opinion by Justice
Zane and Justice Miner.
In a suit brought by the plaintiff
against the Victor Gold & Silver Min
ing company to a foreclosure on a me-
chanic'S lien, Brown & Henderson were
the attorneys for the plaintiff. During
the tendency Of the suit Sandberg sold
his interest TO Frank Knox without the
Knowledge of Brown & Henderson, tic
whom Sandberg denied having made
the transfer at first, but afterwards.
when confronted by the document, ad-
mitted it.
Knox then asked the court that Hi
ram Gray and Andrew Howat be sub
stituted as attorneys in place Of Brown
& Henderson. The latter opposed the
substitution of any attorneys in place
OF themselves until their fees, amount
i " to $500, were paid. The trial court,
however, granted the motion, and from
that ruling Brown & Henderson ap-
pealed. In the opinion rendered, the
supreme court held that the order ap-
pealed from was a final judgment in
so far as Brown & Henderson were
concerned, and was therefore appeal
able to the supreme court. The court
also held that the transfer of Sand
bergs interest to Knox savored very
much of fraud for the purpose of. beat
ing Brown & Henderson out of their
legitimate fees. The order of the dis
trict court was set aside and no new
attorneys can be entered in the case
