In the good old timrs of "Merrie Eng
land, there was tax on windows. This
was tax on sunlight and the people
protested so earnestly against this evident
outrage that the direct government tax
was repealed. In this free country there
is tariff tax of 30 TO I25 per cent on
window glass, witch prevents the impor-
tation of glass from foreign countries and
enables the glass trnst to raise the price
ofglass almost up TO the tariff line which
is the same in effect as the old English
direct tax on windows. The main differ
ence is the old English tax went into the
government Treasury, while the Ameri
can tariff tax OH windows or sunlight
goes into the treasury of the trust.

which would not only cheaper production
but an improved system of cultivation
would add thirty per cent to the ordinary
yield of every crop.
The age of invention has added much
to the machinery and implements used in
agriculture, but nothing in comparison to
that of other branches of industry. If the
corporation entered the field of agricul-
ture to 1.-THE of the degree it has into
other lines many more useful inventions
would be added. Electricity and the
automobile would soon be brought into
the field as they are now into the foctory
, and city streels. The farmer would rise
in influence as he rose in his profession.
His demands would command a hearing
in the halls of legislation and he would
be consulted and his opinions respected
by all classes Of society, where now they
are disregarded and he is laughed at as a
mud sill by every other class.

The War over

So General Otis and Mckinley would
have the country believe. 1t turns ont
that the Filipinos have larger army in
southern Luzon than we have, and it
looks now as though we should have to
send over much larger army aud do
much more fighting before we can claim
to have peacea',le possession and establish
a carpetbag government and give the
syndicates franchises on everything val
uable in the islands. Where are the
young men who would enlist for such a
cause as the administration has led us
into?

The Democratic county convention
which met last week in Elkton, endorsed
the Chicago platform in the following
emphatic language: "As set forth by the
National Democratic Convention which
met at Chicago in 1896, and nominated
William Jennings Bryan for President"
In commenting editorially on the decla-
ra,ions of party fealty by the convention
the Democrat says
1.-THE resolutions endorse the Chicago
platform so far as it enunciates the prin.
ciples of Democracy, which does not
necessarily include the I6 to I plank
They do not expressly ask for that, and
it may be inferred that they recognize thai
that feature of the platform of 1896 may
safely and properly be dropped at this
time
No such construction can be placed on
the declaration of the convention which
is above quoted. 1t embraces the whole
platform and makes no exception Of any
whatever. On the I6 to the Chicago
platform says:
1--WE demand the free and unlimited
coinage Of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio Of 10 to II
The resolutions" says the Democrat,
''endorse the Chicago platform so far as
it ennnciates the principles of Democracy
which does not necessarily include the
I6 TO plank The dickens it doesn't |!
What did the convention put it in for
then, and how did it come that this plank
led all the rest in the campaign of 1896?
Hudibras wrote two numbered years ago:
HE must have optics sharp. l ween,
Who sees what never can be seem"
That fellow must be IN the Democrat
office.

Maryland Republican Financial plank.

The Republican State convention
which met in Baltimore recently
published long declaration Of
principles or platform. The fol-
lowing paragraphs constitute the
money plank of th,ir platform:
We are undoubtedly opposed to the de-
basement of the present monetary STAN
dard or the issues of additional govern
ment paper money. which tends to accum.
ulate at the centres Of exchange at the
expense of the interior and farming dis
tricts. We favor such additional modi-
fication of the banking laws as will still
further promote the interests of the bor-
rover of money as well as the lender, and
will provide a flexible and sufficient
medium of exchange for the needs OF all
sections.
We believe that the constantly expand
ing business fthe country makes nee
essary AN increased elasticity in the
currency systeni. and that further legis-
lation in this direction would give a
stimulus to the industries and interests of
the whole country, and especially to the
South, by affording the necessary credit
facilities for promoting the increased
production and export of its staple
products.
What definite meaning is con-
tanned in these rambling para
graphs of words, mere words? Who
in all this wide country believes
that bank paper money is better
than government paper money?
Nobody at all. Not even the nation
al banker, or he would not ask the
government to endorse his paper
money. What further advantages
wanted are not specified. The
banks now have the privilege of
issuirg currency to the full amount
Of their capital, and loaning ten
times as much credit, and their
Maryland spokesman in the Repnh-
lican State convention say they still
are not satisfied, but want more
favoring law and more elasticity"
in the currency. They have given
them the full amount of their cap
ital in paper currency and the priv
ilege to issue all the credit money,
which is an invisible sort of money,
that they can meet checks against
by using their depositors' money.
If the paragraph clipped from
their Maryland platform has any
meaning, it means there is not
enough real money in circulation to
satisfy business demands aud the
banks resources failing to supply
the demand, there is no other
means left but for the government
to make up the deficiency by issu
ing more money, either its own
legal tender notes or coming silver,
or both.
That means would supply the
demands Of expanding trade and
furnish a "tlexible" currency
which would be at all times safe
ana SOUND money. And we ven
ture to say there can no other mode
be found. IF the bankers don't
like this plan they are at liberty to
step down and the government will
supply the needed amount of elastic
money, and banking facilities also,
for the people, at one tenth the cost
TO them that is exacted by the
banks.
The people need government |
money and government banks, and
not private bankers money and |
their billions Of credit 10 use in
place Of money.
