The Business Mans Helper.

There is no friendship i'll business.
The merchant who does not adverti SO
can not depend upon even his dearest
friend to deal with him if that friend
finds in the advertisement of hustl-

man who advertises commands the
patronage of not only his immediate
friends but the whole community. To
advertise literally is to reap profits
easily.

What a Democratic House Gould
and Gould Not Do.


The burden Of the speeches of Republicans
throughout the country is Prosperity. Don't
disturb present conditions. Don't touch the
tariff. Don't disturb the Trusts. Stand pat.
So Mark Hanna said, so say they all.
Democracy stands for a turn backwards;
for a reversal of present prosperity; for de-
preston in business, low wages and general
stagnation. So Mark Hanna said, so say all.
These are mere assertions, and no reasons
are advanced for any of them. And the Re-
publicans will go through the entire campaign
making claims of prosperity, which must noa
be disturbed, and predicting calamity should
the Democrats win.
Now suppose the Democrats win the House
in November by big majority. Could they
reform the tariff No A Republican SEN
ate and President would prevent it. Could
they accomplish any change in financial leg
islation2 Mol A Republican Senate and
President would prevent it. In fact the
Democrats could not accomplish any afirma-
tive legislation.
AsDemocratic House, however, could pre-
vent extravagaut appropriations and waste Of
the public money; prevent further fostering
of Trusts; prevent further injustice to our is
land subjects; investigate the different depart
ments of government, the affairs in Porto Rico
and the Philippines, and be check in gen.
eral on the Republican Administration. And
in the event that the next Presidential cleo
ton should be thrown into the House of
Representatives for decision a Democratic
House could see that justice is done and no 8
by commission override the will of the PEG
pie as when Tilden was defrauded.
Thus, while the Democrats could not pass
any laws revising the tariff or in restraint OF
Trusts Democratic House would be a check
upon the Trust ridden Republican party. BY
proposing bills to modify the tariff it could
test the sincerity of those Republicans who
have been clamoring for reciprocity and tariff
revision, and it could test the sincerity OF
Roosevelt in the matter of restraining Trusts.
And Democratic House, in the event of a
close presidential election might prevent
another theft of the Presidency.

Two Wrecks on the W. Md. r. R.

A collision occurred on the Western Mary

both were considerably damaged. Some cars

George Covel, the engineer of the passen-

a serious nature. Edgar McCauley, postal
clerk on the train, was badly cut about the
face and head, and one of his legs was injured,
but he was able to return to Baltimore in the
afternoon. William Beach, a commercial

escaped with only some scratches and bruises.
Seven cars of special freight train, going

new era in which the last session of Congress
spent billion of dollars. In this new era we
are burdened by the largest standing army
which the nation ever knew and threatened by
a still larger one. 1t is new era in which a
brave sailor of our own State was disgraced BY
our own Government for doing heroic service

nation has failed in obligations to Cuba which
it was morally bound to fulfil. 1t is new era
