The Post-ofice Department will ask,
It is said. for appropriations of about
$f2r, ooo, 600 for the next fiscal year. This
is gigantic business, and it is run upon
the closest business principles. Before
the government took it up, 1t cost rs cents
TO send letter from Pittsburg to Balti-
more. Now it costs two cents to get a
message from Porto Rico to the Phil
ippine Islands, and still the Department
comes very near paying out"
The Post-ofice would easily pay ont
and have surplus under present arrange
ment if the Department didn't give
$50, 100000 to the railroads over and
above what is paid for similar service by
the express companies. Our government
under Republican rule is very paternal to
corporations. In fact it dotes on them
like an old grandmother over the grand.

Pie Counter Democracy.

Let us examine it. In 1899 Governor
Smith, the Democratic candidate, was
elected by "a plurality of little over
Ia,ooo. This year Mckinley has plu-
rality of nearly 1900. How can such a
change be accounted for7 Very easily.
There has been no change, only a juggle.
The State Democratic ticket last year
was John Walter Smith, for Governor,
president of a national bank; Isidor
Rayner, an Israelite not without guile,
said to be agent for the Rothschilds, for
Attorney General; Joshua w. Herring, q
national bank officer, Comptroller of the
Treasury; every one of them gilt-edged
Democrats. The Bryan element of the
party knew the nominations had been
iuggled, but for the sake of regularity
and harmony they fell in and honestly
supported the ticket, eiecting it by up
wards of II, 900 plurality.
This year the honest, progressive DEM
ocratic element was represented in the
national nominees, and we find last years
plurality reversed almost exactly. What
is the translation of the hieroglyphics on
this historic tablet? 1t is not difficult at
all. The above plurality is the number
of pie counter Democrats in the State,
organized and commanded by coutin-
gent from the Republican party of her
maphrodite Democrats. whose alias or
nome de plume is gold Democrat.
This pie counter element look up 10
their hermarphodite bosses for the crumbs
swept up from the pie counter, from a
half mile of road up to " fat takes" This
is the size of the Maryland Democrat
fraud which has perambulated the State
to deceive honest men, like an Indian
dressed in hog skin used to root round
the early settlers camp in daylight, to
slip in and murder his sleeping victims at
night. The same game has been played
all over the country. Everybody now
sees it very plainly and there is going to
be divorce suit entered. The adulterous
harlot must be banished to the corrupt
camp where she belongs.
