The American people have learned
much in the last few years. They
have been taught that it is treason
70 teach the lessons ofliberty. They
have discovered that it is anarchy
to protest against existing evils.
They have learned that it is BIAS
phemy If they fail to bend the knee
that thrift may follow fawning. to
some political demagogue. They
have been advised that it is unpa-
triotic to protest against the prosti
tuition of the high political Office to
end OF private gain and personal glo-
~. They have found out that it is
criminal to criticize the subterfuges
employed by Republican party lead
ers in their hypocritical pretences
about controlling the Trusts.
Does the fallacy of the divine
right" of kings claim more for the
spirit of iniquity than the Repub-
lican politicians claim when they
usurp theprerogatives of the people ?

The Republican Text Book says
that the Republican party has lifted
all labor to prosperity and indepen-
dence. Yet when was labor and
American manhood more at the mer-
cy Of the money power than now?
Not only is labor at the mercy of the
money power, but the Republican
party is subservient to that power.
Moreover. the money power has
been built up by the friendly legis-
lation of the Republican party. 1t
has not grown legitimately and in
the natural course of things, but it
is simply the outgrowth of class leg
islation, a mere concentration of
wealth, by taking away the money
of the masses and putting il into the
Golfers of the Trusts. The people
have simply, through protective
tariffs, been forced TO pay high prof
its to the American manufacturers
and thus, at their expense, they have
made the money power what it is.
What has been done cannot be very
well undone. No one can deny that
very serious evils confront US as a re-
suit of this Legislation. But we can
see that they grow no worse in the
future.
How?
BY taking off the tariffs that have
denied the masses the privileges of
competitive markets and have, there
fore; made this concentration of
wealth possible.
The remedy is at hand. tits sim
pie. 1t is efficient and it is immedi-
ate. 1t has the Endorsement of the
Republicans of Iowa and the indorse-
ment of the Republicans of Idaho.
But who will apply the remedy?
Hull and Hepburn and Cannon and
Grosvenor and Payneand Henderson
and the rest of the Republican lead
ers say they will not stand for tariff
revision, therefore, the Republicans
viii not apply it. Then where can
the remedy come from except at the
hands of the Democratsp The Trusts
not only own the Republican party,
but the Republican leaders are Trust
people themselves.--1O.

Q. HARRIS CAVALIER.
or ST. nARY's COUNTY.



In our last issue we gave an ac-
count Of the nomination of towns
man Benjamin Harris Camalier for
Congress. The convention was unan-
iu0us and enthusiastic and accord
ed the nominee an ovation OF which
he may well feel proud. But while
al enthusiastic nomination for Con-
gPess il q good thing, triumphant
election IL o much better thing. and
Democrats must not allow their en-
thusiasm TO cool If they expect TO
win in the coming campaign. Mr..
Camalier's opponent is ashrewd and
adroit politician. and he cannot be
defeated save by hard and earnest
work. The campaign in the Fifth
Maryland District this year viii
surely be strenuous one and il be-
hoves all Democrats who have the
party's interest at heart to be up
and doing. Our nominee will set
an example OF stirring, untiring
work, and his party owes it to him
to rally behind him and support his
efforts 10 defeat Congressman Mudd.
In this canvass the issues between
the two great parties are clearly and
sharply defined. The Democratic
party is insisting that all tariff on
Trust made goods be removed; that
tariff laws permitting the robbery OF
the people by corporated monopolies
be repealed. There is no question
about the Democratic party posi-
ton on this question, and no doubt
but that its nominee for Congress
stands with his party, and will vote
with il on these measures if elected.
Under Republican tariff Legislation
the Trusts have grown and waxed
strong and in the words of the Wash
ington Post, certainly not Demo
cratic journal, the Republican party
in the Fifty-sixth and thus far in the
Fifty-seventh Congress has been ex-
tremeIy careful TO avoid anything
inimical to Trust interests. Mr..
Mudd was a Republican member oil
both these Congresses. Vote him
out and Camalier in.

corporations. not only control the
American market. but dominate the
commerce Of the world. They do not
bring one penny OF revenue intoour
National Treasury, but By the pro.
lection Afforded them under she
SCHEDULED Of the present Dingley
tariff law. they are enabled 70 plum
der our PEOPLE at home and make
millions by She sale Of their product
abroad. Mr.. Henderson, In stating
his reasons for withdrawal assumes
that the Democrats want 10 destroy
these industries rather than curtail
their rapacity- The Speaker s prem
Uses being wrong as TO the former,
his conclusions. Of necessity, are err
roneous as to the latter.
The Democrats do want effective
Legislation that win take away from
the Trust the privileges they now
enjoy that enables them to accumu-
late unearned millions at the expense
Of the American producer and wage
Garner. The Democrats are pledged
to control the Trust by taking away
from them the protection of the Ding
ley Tariff law. The Democrats want
tariff for revenue and not tariff
for Trusts. The Democrats and the
Republicans and the Trusts, know
that the only way to handle these
obnoxious combinations bf criminal
capitalists is through the tariff. II
is for these reasons that Speaker
Henderson retires, because he knows
the Trusts and the Republican par.
ty cannot exist IL theone is divorced
from the other.
There is but one conclusion that
the American people will come to
concerning the action of Speaker
Henderson, and that is that he was
facing defeat because he refused tc
carry out the expressed wishes Of
his own constituents. 10.

The declination Of the Hon. David
b. Henderson torun for Congress in
his old district in Iowa, is extremely
significant. There was evidently a
multiplicity of reasons that he could
have assigned for this action, but so
far as the public knows he gives
ouly one, namely, the growing tariff
revision sentiment in his district.
In the first place Mr.. Henderson
was out of tune and harmony with
Republicans of his State, as we'll as
many OF them in the entire North
west, on the question Of tariff re-
vision. He has unfortunately con-
tended that the Trusts were not fos-
tered by the tariff, while every think
ing man in the United States is con-
WINGED of the fact that without the
tariff, Trusts Of an abnormal char
acter would not be able to prey on
the resources and productive energy
Of the american people. When the
same American Trusts are able TO
compete in the markets Of the world
and undersell al other producers in
other countries on the same article
that they manufacture in the United
States. II Is manifest that they fear
NJ foreign competition. These same

WASHINGTON. Sept. %, 1902.


simultaneously with the announce
ment which reached Washington,
from the conference held at Oyster
Bay last week. that the president
would advocate no changes in the
tariff schedules and would denounce
the democratic position, and that
formerly held by Chairman Babcock
and still held by many Iowa and
other western republicans, came the
announcement from Illinois that
Senator Cullom had addressed a
large audience at Carthage and had
stated that the time for tariff revis-
ion was ut hand. while / believe
in protective tariff said the Sem
ator, II do not believe i'm holding
ON to high protective tariff longer
than Is necessary in the interests OF
the business and labor of our coun-
try. In my judgment, the time has
come when reductions ought to be
made in many instances. The con-
dieting statements OF the republican
leaders and Senator Cullom, who is
regarded as q power in Illinois,
caused CONSERVATION in republican
circles and Immediately the wires
were hot with messages begging Mr..
Cullom to suppress such heretical
beliefs in the future. Whether he
will consent to suppress his views
in order TO keep UP the pretence of
harmonious party. however, re-
mains TO be seen.

At almost the same hour, came the
news that Speaker Henderson had
declined to stand for reelection be-
cause he did not represent the views
Of his party and yet his position on
the tariff question entirely comedies
with that OF the republican leaders
and with that which the president
has agreed to uphold, regardless of
his own convictions, throughout
his western trip. 1t is said at dem
ocratic headquarters that, unfortu-
nately for Dir. Roosevelt, he has
been led by his advisors to believe
that the capitalistic faction of his
party represents the general senti-
ment and that he viii suffer a rude
awakening in the west. 1t is also

A Very Pretty Marriage.

Again Cupid has been flying about
, and darted promiscuously into two
sincere hearts and made them az one.
On Tuesday, November rs, 1902, mid
the sweet strains OF bridal chorus
from Lohengrins swsetly sung by
Miss Hattie Hoffman, the bridal party
entered Harborton N. e. Church,

Tank Williams, Milton Ross, Charlie
Walker and Ben Tom East, followed
by the attendants, beautifully dress
ed In light blue and white silk as
follows: Miss Ella Moars and Stewart
Scarborough, Miss lay Jones and
Sydney Harmon, Miss Bette Dough-
ty and Edmond Scott, Miss Lucie
Mason and Lloyd Taylor, Miss Lena
r. Holt and Ned Williams, Miss
Mamie Mock and AL Mason.
Following these next came a pros
porous merchant OF Onley, the groom,
Mr.. Harry Thompson Mears, and bis
best man, Mr.. Charles r. Savage, fol.
lowed by the bride, Miss Jennie Sue
Ross, the pretty and attractive
daughter OF Mr.. T. B. Ross, leaning
on the arm OF the maid OF honor, Miss
Valentine Rsade, prettily dressed in
pink satin covered with embroidered
chiffon with gloves and black pic
ture hat. They were followed by
