The People Turn Out.

The Democratic ri airy meetings
on Saturday last, Were well attended
throughout the county. The meeting
in Frederick was real turu out of the
true democracy. There was no ques
ton as to the sentiment of the people
being for Bryan, and many unbesita-
tlngly proclaimed their readiness to
hnd helping hand in the great con-
test in November A motion to in
struct the delegation was, however,
overhelmiogly voted down. The
effort on the tart of few men to win
little cheap noteriety by protesting
to be the only original Bryan people
lid not work, and their effort to run
things outside of the regular party or
ganization, met with utter population.
This is no time for cheap clap-trap.
We want the people Interested in this
fight. We want their votes for the
Democratic nOniree for President,
whomever he may be. Maryland went
against us in the last Presidential
fight by over thirty thousand majority
and Frederick County helped to swell
the tremendous vote. Let us try to
win these people back, not by shouting
for 16 10 /, or 10y proclaiuing in adj
vance for any special dividual. If

The Census of 1900.

Today Friday Juue l, the enumera-
tors for this district will begin the
work of gathering names and other in
formation for the census of 1900. We
have from time to time published facts
concerning this most txacting and i'm
pnrtant work and described the meth
DDS to be pursued in arriving at the
end required. Those entrusted with
the work will have to perform their
duty In about two weeks time aud
therefore will depend upon every per-
son in the country to assist them. The
statistics and other averages TO be ar
rived at from the complete returns
will depend greatly upon the answers
given the enumerators. There has al
ways been some trouble connected
with the work Of these men in the
past, and the census officials this time
have taken pains to explain all points
t. the public in advance so that delay
from any cause will be reduced TO q
minimum. No one should hesitate to
give any inform ition or answer cor
rectly thequestions put 10 them by the
enumerators. They are all sworn Of.
ticials and must regard as sacred the
material they collect If one renlem-
bers that no personal record will be
kept aud that all matters pertaining TO
ownership of land, morgaged prop
erty, age, disability, education, nation
aliiy, etc, etc, i only to arrive ut an
average to show the general advance.
ment aud pr"gress of the country in
various branches and along certain
lines, there. can be no valid objection
t afull and willing answer to all le-
climate questions. If one doubts the
right of the enumerdtors to ask certain
questio he will show his instructions
and he Ii of questions to which he
is expected to get answers. 1t is a
great and complex work that will be
done, and long time will be required
before results can be looked for. In
the meantime let all who are interro-
gated hy the enumera'ors give them
full and satisfactory answers and help
to promote the success OF the work in
which they are all interested.

A Good Democratic Platform.

To support the nominee of the Kan
as City platform.
To advocate laws to terminate the
bad effects of the gigantic trusts which
are detrimental to the best Interests of
he American people
To oppose imperialism and expan-
sion as advocated by the Mckinley adj
ministration.
To oppose large standing armies in
.ime of reace.
To adopt laws to do away with the
Porto Rico tariff bill.
To pass laws to prevent the army

punish the guilty culprits.
To recognize the volunteers who were
,alled on TO serve their country aud
Who were at San Juan Hill and who
re now in the pestilential swamps of
Be Philippines.
ITO end the war taxes and to uphold
be Monroe Doctrine.
This is the platform upon which

County Conventions Held.

Several County Conventions
were held in Maryland this week.
In nearly all cases the sentiment
was unanimous for the nomination
of William j. Bryan for President,
but there was considerable differ
ence of opinion as to the endorse
ment of the Chicago platform and
sending instructed delegates to
Kansas City. Only few counties
are favorable to an instructed del
egation. Among these Mont
gomery and Charles. 1t is be-
lieved that a majority of the

ton will favor an uninstructed

ements of our population it is a
matter Of pride and interest to
know the number of persons of
their nationality in the United
States, and their general ecOnOm-
ic condition. In 1890 there were
more than 100000 residents in
the United States who were born
in foreign countries. OF this
number about 30 per cent were
born in Germany, 20 per cent in
Ireland, and about 10 per cent in
Canada and Newfoundland.
From 1920 to 1880 the United
Kingdom contributed So per cent
of the total immigration to the
United States, and Germany So
per cent. In the decade 1881 to
1891 the immigrants from the
United Kingdom constituted only
% per cent of the total immigra-
ton, the proportion from Ger
many being slightly less. In the
ten years 1861 to 1870 the CON-
bined immigration from Austria,
Hungary, Russia. Poland, and
Italy constituted only l per cent
of the total immigration. In the
decade 1881 to 1890 this proper.
ton rose to II per cent, and in
the nine years 1S91-1S99 to more
than GA per cent.
We of the United States are all
immigrants or the descendants of
immigrants. A proper pride on
the part of recent immigrants in
the land of their birth, and a
reasonable desire to secure that
recognition which is due to their
number and Importance. should

The Tariff the Mother of
Trusts.

The mother of all trusts is the
customs tariff bill. The existing
bill and the preceding one have
been the occasion of the forma-
ton of all the large trusts, with
very few exceptions, imasmuch as
they provide for an inordinate
protection to all the interests of
the cOuntry-sugar refining ex-
cepted. Economic advantages
incident to the consolidation of
large interests in the same line of
business are a great incentive to
their formation, but these bear a
very Insignificant proportion to
the advantages granted in the
way of protection under the Gus
toms tariff.
There probably is not an in
dustry that requires a protection
of more than ten per cent ad va
loren, and it is to obtain what is
provided over such percentage in
the tariff that leads to the fOrma-
ton of what are commonly spoken
of as ''trusts." With protec
ton to an industry not exceeding
10 per cent, all menace of trusts
to the community would cease.
In fact, the tariff bill clutches
the people by the throat, and
then the Governors and the At.
torney.General of the several
States take action, not against
the cause, but against the ma,
chinery which the people employ
to rifle the public's pockets.
1t is the government through
its tariff laws, which plumbers
the people, and the trusts, etc,
are merely the machinery for do
ing it.
The true communism of pelf"
is the customs tariff bill. 1t says
to the people: "IIere is a law we
have enacted for your robbery.
DO not complain of it,"
Steel rails were exported. at
the time the steel schedule was

At a meeting of the Anti-Im-

the following resolution was

ton, and that all American citi-

interests of our country and the
integrity and perpetuity of our

unite in an earnest effort to Sc.
cure the condemnation of that

rebuke of its authors and promo
tiers by a decisive popular vote.n
