Close of the Campaign.

The great political campaign of 1902 has
about closed, so far as argument is concerned.
Next Tuesday the battle of the ballots will
take place. In forty-two of the forty five
States elections will be held for members Of
Congress, and in more than twenty States
State officers and legislatures will be chosen.
The legislatures to be chosen in about eigh-
teen States will elect United States Senators.
In Delaware the legislature will have two
Senators to elect, and the Democrats, owing
to a fractional division in the Republican par
ty, are likely to elect both Senators.
The great contests will be in New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Connecticut,
and the Republicans will be put upon their
mettle in Massachusetts to hold their own.
The present House of Representatives has
heavy Republican majority, but the outlook
is for considerable reduction of that major
ity, and probably the election of a Demo-
cratic House. The Republicans spit upon
reciprocity with Cuba, and declined TO change
the tariff schedules or to enact legislation in
restraint of trusts, and the party is not as
united as it usually is. The party has been
on the defensive during the whole campaign,
and the contest may be close, with indications
of Democratic landslide.
There had been apathy everywhere until the
past ten days. Vigor has been infused in the
Campaign this week, and interest has been
aroused. Monster meetings have been held
IL
larger vote next Tuesday than was antcipat
ed, and the result will depend upon which
has the better enlisted the interest of its adj
herents.
We are glad to note that the Democrats of
MARYLAND have taken greater interest in the
contest than was apparent two weeks ago,
and that the indications are that three and
perhaps four of the congressional districts
will be redeemed.
Mudd in the fifth district and Pearre in the
sixth will not have the walkoyer they have had
in previous years. Indeed both have been max
ing canvasses as though they beliyed their
elections were in doubt. Camalier and Ken
neweg both assert their chances of defeating
Mudd and Pearre are good, and when the
ballots are counted Mr.. Pearre, at least, will
find that he did not have many votes to spare.
In conclusion, Democrats, let us remind
you that this is a Democratic year. Let
Maryland be up in the front of the victorious
column. Let us elect our candidates in four
of the congressional districts, and strive to
make the delegation solidly Democratic b.
vigorous effort to redeem the other two.
And, Democrats of Carroll, the Democrats
of the other part of the second district ex-
pect you to do your duty next Tuesday. Go
to the polls and see that your Democratic
neighbors are all there, also.

cess.
Ex-President Cleveland, who has been silent
for FIVE years, has taken an interest in the
present campaign, aud on Thursday night al
Morristown, New Jersey, addressed an i'm
mense mass meeting. His activity means the
appearance at the polls next Tuesday of many
thousands of Democrats who have not voted
a Democratic ticket since 1892.
And Senator German is quite active, too.
He has been advising with the Democratic
Congressional Committee at Washington dur.
ing the whole campaign, and on Thursday
night gave out a very interesting interview,
claiming that the next House will be Demo
cratic by majority of from twenty to thirty.

Republican Extravagance


The present Congress, Republican in
both branches, appropriated at the last
session one billion aud sirty millions Of
dozaas-just one billion more than the
entire expenses of government the year be-
fore the Republican party cans into
power in 1861.
Notwithstanding this extravaganza, to
protect the Trusts the Republican party
has the tariff tax rates SO high that more
money is being collected than is needed to
meet the appropriations, thrs piling up
asurplus in the treasury that should be in
the channels of trade.

Republicans VIII Not Revise the
Tariff.

Representative Cannon of Illinois, who oc-
cupies the front seat N the synagogue OF Re-
publicanism, and whose words, are, therefore,
to be relied upon on subjects of party policy,
says that the Republicans will not revise the
tariff during the coming session, nor yet in the
next succeeding Congress.
That means that for, at least, three more
years, if the Republicans continue to hold the
reins of the government, the Trusts will con-
tinue to use the tariff to hold up the consum-
err, while, as Mr.. Babcock well says, they fix
exorbitant prices. That means that the Re-
pubIicans intend to let the tariff continue to
afford shelter to monopoly. 1t means that
the Republicans will not even make an effort
to stop the shameful practice of making the
Government party to such gross injustice
to the people as is seen in the selling of Amer
lean made goods cheaper abroad than here at
home. 1t means that the Republicans, if
continued in power, will still lend the Gov
ernmental machine to the Republican Trust
manufacturers to enable them to continue to
charge the people, through whose bounty and
with whose encouragement they were able to
grow from infancy, prices that are from TWEEN
ty to fifty per cent. higher than the price on
the same articles to foreigners. 1t means all
this and it means poverty in many a home.
Many man could eat beefa Is cents pound
who will have to go without at % cents.
Many child in the poor districts ofthe cities
will freeze to death with coal at SIS per ton,
who would have been kept warm with.it att Sc
per ton. Many housewife could have a
sewing machine at SIT who has to do without
it when they cost $40. They are things to
think about. Think of the great masses who
have to pay high tariff prices in order that the
favored few may grow inordinately rich.
Think of The thousands who cannot pay these
high tariff prices and who live in poverty,
who, if profits were reasonable and there was
no class legislation in the shape of high tariff
could live in comparative comfort. A tariff
that enables Trust to fix exorbitant prices
means increased hardships for the struggling
masses. 1t is unjust, grossly unjust. Will the
people continue party in power which, &C
cording TO the statements of its own leaders,
proposes to make no effort TO give what it
comedies to be relief to an outraged and long
suffering public

Roosevelt's remedy to regulate Trusts is to
change the Constitution, so as to give Con-
gress enlarged powers. If such change
could be effected it would require fifteen
years.
This is just subterfuge to tide over dis
agreeable situation.
The Democrats would put upon the free
list all Trust made goods, and no enlargement
of the powers of Congress is reqired to do this.

Pennsylvania Strikes at Gould.

Dispatch fast freight, which has been run over
the Reading and Western Maryland lines tc
and from New York city and transferred to
the Baltimore & Ohio lines and to the Western
Maryland road at Cherry RIM. is to be turned
over to the Cumberland Valley at Shippens-
burg and thence handled by that company to
and from Martinsburg, at which point it will
be received by the Baltimore and Ohio road.
This is the first move made by the Pennsyl-
vania and the Reading to divert traffic from
the Western Maryland road, which is con-
trolled by the Goulds. Whether it is the pur.
pose to divert the soft coal and other freight
from the Western Maryland is not stated.
