THE DICTATiON OF DEMOC-
PHCY.

n the hue and cry the Democrats
4 have raised over imperialism sighl
q has been los' ofthe fact that Bryan is
the most absolute and arbitrary
political dictator this nation ever knew.
There are in the land some 1000, ooc
Democrats, and over these William Of
Lincoln holds undisputed sway To
them bis conception and delineaton OF
issues is law and gospel; before him they
abase themselves as servilely as did ever
subjects before potentate. When one
contemplates the degree to which this is
true he Involuntary shrinks in appre-
hension at the power Bryan would
acquire and WELD should he be elected
president.
-Four years ago Bryan established him
self in the halls Of Democracy, and there
gathered about him his court 1t was a
triumph Of a trumpery trick, but that
does not lessen its effect. In these four
years Bryan has been absolutely supreme
in the Democracy. He has made and
unmade party chieftains, issued his
DEGREES with the sang froid of car. A
little more than d month ago, at the first
faint sign of revolt, this political dictator
climbed astride his party's neck and
beat it into subsection with a cruelty
relatively as great AS that exhibited by
any taskmaster of old. Arbitrary and
diCtatorial, he was only content when
the chosen representatives. of seven mil
lion voters, succumbing TO his lash,
bowed down and called him master. If
Bryan is so mighty in defeat and expec-
tation, what will he be in realization
AS president, with nations patron
age to dole out and civil service laws
repudiated, William Jennings Bryan
would rule with the diCtator's hand OF
iron. He would build about himself a
machine that would obey only his will,
for the spirit Of absolute dominion and
sovereignty mbucs him. ANY who
dared to differ would be struck down

GENERAL GILL FOR MCKINLEY

n ENEKAL JOHN GILL, of Bal
Y timore, one of the most prom
" inent men in Maryland, and
leading Democrat, has de-
clared his purpose of supporting Nc
Kinley. Some of the sentiments ex.
pressed by General Gill in a letter to
one of the Democratic party leaders, are
as follows:
g How can Sound money Democrats
and reputable citizens join in supporting
this Populistic candidate? If the party
were successful, would Bryan, Altgeld,
Tillman, Debs and host of Populists at
the helm be to the advantage of the
party itself? Is it well, under the cir
cumstances, for the party to win in this
election? unhesitatingly answer no.
coincidence Of the people is the es-
sence of any party success. Would it
not, therefore, be better for the party,
repeat, certainly for the country during
the next four years, to loose this fight?
Can Maryland men support platform
or vote for its candidate which subscribes
to dishonest money, attacks the supreme
Court and would overthrow the banking
system Of our country?
| The Republican party is not in pos
session Of all the virtues, but shall vote
for Mckinley, believing it in the interest
of my country.
rs not defeat preferable to victory at
this time? Consider the facts-Bryan
first nominate by the Populists and
then Endorsed by the Democrat Con-
vention at Kansas City. The platform
is not DemoCratiC-why, then, should
Democrats be expected to support it,
DO we all not dread seeing the party go
into power with such leaders at this
time.

the leaders to the party in this state not
to lose sight Of these facts, and rather,
far rather, let Bryan sink that the true
old Democratic party may live"

VI prompted certain enterprising
citizens Of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland to inaugurate movement

toward the development of this favored
section, of which this county forms the
uppermost part. A meeting is to be held
at Ocean City on September 3, at which

THE FALSE CRY OF IMPER-
IALISM.

HERE is abundant cause for
praise and congratulation upon
i the policy and conduct of the
United States Government dur
ing the great oriental crisis. Though
there was never time in the nation S
history when there were so many COM
plications to lead it away from its accept.
ed principles as regards international
affairs, it did not swerve from them by A
hairs breadth. The government stead.
lily held itself aloof from entangling
alliances and showed not the slightest
disposition to despoil. This is very
gratifying as evidence to prove the utter
folly OF the false cry Of ''Imperialism'
with which the Democratic party seeks
to malign President Mckinley.

Kansas CITY Times.
The income tax, As a fair, successful
and equitable method Of raising pub
lie revenue, has been in vogue among
the leading European nations for a
number Of years, aud its proven
efficacy wherever tried is a guarantee
OF its continuance.
In Prussia, Austria, Switzerland
and England it has been in operation
for periods ranging from half q cen
tury to twenty years, and has result
ed in an equitable distribution Of the
burdens of taxation according to the
relative ability of the taxpayers to
meet them.
In a strongly and lucidly reasoned
article in the New York journal, Mr..
Bryan refers to the fact that an 10
CONF tax was in effect in this cOun-
try for ten years, during and after
the civil war. and that its repeal was
opposed by some Of the leading mem
beers Of the republican party.
In his speech opposing IFS repeal
Senator John Sherman of Ohio said
The senator from New York and the
senator from Massachusetts have lei
off in declaring against an income tax.
They have declared it to be nyidious.
Well, sir, all taxes are invidious.
They think it is inquisitorial. Well,
sir, lihere never was a tax in tho
world that was not inqulsitorial. The
least inquisitorial of all is the income
az. There never was so just a tax
as the income tax Other republican
senators at the time Of the debate over
the repeal Of the income tax express
ed themselves as strongly 10 favor of
The tax as did Senator Sherman.
The equitableness of this method Of
raising revenue is summed up by Mr..
Bryan in a single paragraph: "Where
visible property is taxed and invisible
property escspes, the possessors Of
visible property are o%vertaxed in order
to make up for the evasion Of those
who possess invisible properly. But
even when a property tax is honestly
collected upon all forms Of property,
real and personal, 1t is not as far a
tax as an income tax. Properly may
be temporarily unproductiye. If a
farmer pays taxes on lis land, the taA
goes on, even though the crop may
fail. II a money lender pays a tax
upon his money, his security may fail
or there may be default in the pay
menl Of the interest, while an income
tax adjusts itself TO the condition Of
the taxpayer, beng large when the
income is large, and small when the
income is SMALL
There Is no controverting this aFgu-
ment, If the rule lald down by Adam
Smith for equslizlng taxation be ac-
cepted as correct, ss it has been bya
number Of enlightened nations. lie
says: "The subjects Of every state
ought 10 contribute to the support Of
the government as nearly as possible IN
proportion to their respective ability; .
that is. in proportion to the revenue
which they respectively enjoy under
the protection Of the state. In the OBJ
s~erVAtion or neglect Of this rule con
sists what is called the equality OF in
