sever al hundred times to accomplish
the financial results which are now
pressing us down, and preparing the
way for p universal crash through
wrecked values.
1t is the capital of trusts, known as
capital stock" that is the fearful
monster which is agitating the coun-
try. Carnegie has not 800 millions of
dollars of capital, neither has Stand
ard Oil 500 millions of good sound dol
lars. What they ard the others have
is a capitalization upon which they
draw an interest or dividend amount
ing to say 12s millions per annum.
The menace is in creating income
producing wealth out of what is not
capital but Indebtedness, and it is
this trading upon debts and trans
forming them into credits that is
dangerous not only to the govern
ment but to every man engaged in
earning money to secure precarious
existence.

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Democratic County Convention
on Tuesday, was one of the most
representative which has been held
in Bel Air for several years past. In
the ranks were recognized some old
familiar faces who have again return
ed to their first love after four years OF
Mckinleyism as interpreted by Mark
Hanna. We are glad to note that there
has not been such Harmonious body
during the recollection of the writer.
OF course some little feeling is more
or less apt to appear because there is
only five delegates to be selected at
any convention and one district OF
necessity, must be left out. While
this is very unfortunate, it cannot be
helped. yet, if we had possessed the
power. it would have been pleasure
to have distributed the honors little
more evenly.
All this, however, counts for very
small matter as compared with what
we yet have before us. The fight Is
now being waged in dead earnest and
all little past disappointments will
soon be forgotten in the campaign
which has just been initiated.
1t is indeed gratifying to record the
harmony existing along the lines to-
day. We have only to read of the
conventions in the other counties in
the State to see that the people are
very much aroused and seem to be
earnest. They are commencing to
realize that four years more of Re
publican rule means the death knell
of the country, as far as the poorer
people are concerned. We can see it
everywhere, that they are preparing
to strike. and strike hard too, for this
seems to be the last chance for the
liberty we hold so dear.
1t seems hard to realize that the
destiny of seventy-five millions of
people are today held in the grasp OF
one man. individuals who in time
past had some say in shaping
the legislation are now ruthlessly
swept aside and compelled to bow tc
tine dictates of this one man. The
barriers of the Constitution are over
ridden with calm Indifference and il
anyone raises his voice in feeble pro-
test, the question is sneeringly asked
what are you going to do about it?'
The people this fall will show the
Honorable Marcus what they are go
ing to DO about it and if we mistake
not, it will be said in no uncertain
words. If the power of the ballot i!
not overridden as the Constitution il
now being trampled upon, we thinE
that there will be a change in the
White House government on the
fourth day of next March, and com
binations, trusts and money Interest,"
will be compelled to take a back sea
along with some of the rest of thu
more humble individuals.

CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DA

CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DA Z
The following letter from the Hon.
William j. Bryan to w. S. Mexican,
secretary of the National League of
Democratic Clubs, contains a sug-
gestion which may we'll be recon-
mended to Democrats everywhere:
MY Dear Sir--I regret exceeding
ly that engagements made before
your invitation was received will pre-
vent my attending the Jefferson din.
ner. 1t is especially fitting that in
this centennial year of the party
.irst victory we should commemorate
the birthday Of the party's founder
and patron saint.
''ln 1900 the genius of Jefferson or.
ganized the Democratic party and led
q successful light against the aristo.
cratic ideas Of Hamilton. Today,
when Democracy is engaged in life
and death struggle with plutocracy,
we CAN find inspiration in the teach
ings OF the sage of Monticello.
The doctrine OF equal rights and
special privileges 10 none, applied to
present problems, would restore an
an equitable financial system, deprive
national banks OF the power to issue
paper money, destroy private mono
poles, remove the menace of militar-
ism and imperialism, save the nation
from eptang!iug alliances, make it an
example to other nations. And its
flag an emblem of peace, Justice, lib
erty and progress.
81 hope that the National Associa.
ton Of Democratic Clubs will urge
each local organization TO celebrate
the coming Fourth of July.
Those who assemble throughout
the country can listen to the reading
of the Declaration of Independence,
hear patriotic speeches and then
learn by wire that the National Con-
vention of the Democratic party,
meeting on that day, has reasserted
the party's faith in the principles set
forth in the Declaration and embod-
led in the Constitution of the United
States. Yours truly.
w. J. BRYAN.
1t should be the immediate effort OF
Democrats throughout the land to ar,
range for Independence Day celebra-
tions. Bulletins from the convention
can be had of the telegraph compan-
les at slight expense, and may be read
to the meetings between the speeches.
In an early number of the Press
Bulletin suggestions for the organiza-
ton and conduct of these meetings
will be published.

MCKINLEY MAY LOSE ONO.


Ex-Attorney General Frank g. Mon
nett of Ohio in an interview on the
10Th inst, says Ohio will be lost to the
Republicans this fall.
81 do not see how the Republican
party can escape punishment this
fall" said he.
"The platform OF the Republican
party in Ohio strongly condemns the
trusts and their unlawful methods. /
was elected as attorney general of
! Ohio or such platform, and as the
officer of state and the representative
of the party l carried out as best /
could the platform of the party. Yet
I was not supported in this by many
of the leaders, and the party organs
criticized me for doing just what the
platform of my party pledged me to
do. Newspapers of the state, about
| ITO of them, printed paid articles crit
icising my actions and they, too. party
| newspapers.
"This is not all. The legislature
which has just adjourned killed the
Russell bill and the maximum freight
bill, and that too by almost strict
party vote. Will not the people
punish the party for such actions upon
the part of its servants? The party AS
such, is not in sympathy with such
methods. Although the Russell bill
was bill No. 10, it was side-tracked by
tie trust lobbyists and held back until
near the adjournment and then over
the protest of the best men Of the
party, and almost all of the Demo.
cratic members, it was defeated. This
was reputation of the party plat
form. cannot believe that we will
escape punishment, and l believe i
will come this fall. Why should MOI
the party be punished when the mer
who control its actions disregard the
will of the peoples"

TWO "MISSING WORDS" PLAT
FORMS.


FORMS.
Political platforms, in order to be
of value should say what they mean,
and mean what they say. Oar Re
publican friends are prone to take
things for granted. Thus the Phild-
delphi0 Press summarizes the Repub-
Iicau and Democratic platforms, up to
date rs follows, without Que regard to
Ike consequences:
We endorse
We rejoice
Wegiory-
We are proud--
We heartily support
We cntrus5-
We commend
We rspud;ate-
We mourn
We decry- o..
We are ashamed
We condemn
We Genouuce-
We disayow-
Whereupon the Boston Herald re-
marks: cit is scarcely necessary to
say which is which"
Lest, however, there might be a
citizen whose arduous occupation in
keeping himself and family above
abject want, should not have had time
to solve the ''lnissing word" puzzle,
the Los angeles Herald comes to the
rescue with the following solution:
1--WE endorse imperialism.
We rejoice-in the trusts.
We glory-in Hannaism.
We are proud-of McKiniey's rec
ord as Hopper.
We heartily supports banking
currency.
We entrust-the country to boss
| rule.
| We commend-militarism.
That is the Republican platform.
We repudiate-imperlalism.
We mourn-the substitution OF
boss rule for popular government.
We decry-the control of our money
| system by the banks.
| We are ashamed--of the war in the
| Philippines.
We condemn--imperialism.
Wslenource- Hannaism.
We -militarism.
That is the Democratic platform.
