Originator OF Great Schemes.


Frank C. Wachier was reuomInated for
Congress in the Third Congressional District,
Baltimore, on Monday In speech Of ac-
ceptance be said the Democrats we're follow
ing the lead Of the Republicans. He then
remarked
II am for the Delaware and Chesapeake
canal. Just watch and see If some OF eur
Democratic friends will not try to be first on
this"
Just when the agitation for the cutting o.
a ship canal to connect the Chesapeake aud
Delaware bays was begun, we do not know.
but we do know that it was extensively DIS
cussed in Congress and the press before Mr..
Waehter Was old enough TO go TO school, and
that several surveys were made by the gov
ernmeni as early as thirty five years ago, aud
that the construction of the canal has had at
all times the support Of the two Democratic
Senators and six members Of the House Of
Representatives from Maryland.
Claim everything is the Repu bbcan way,
and it will not be surprising to find Mr..
Wachter parading himself all through his
campaign as the originator of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal project Ifhe should be
reelected to Congress he may introduce a
bill requiring the government to send out
ships TO locate the North pole, and claim thai
he was the FIRST man to have thought Of the
matter. He has probably never heard of

Tax Rates.

In another column will be found the tax
rates for county purposes in Maryland: Car
roll. it will be observed still holds the record
as the lowest taxed county in the State. Each
district in the county fixes its own road tax.
The rate for county purposes is 45 cents on
the 500. With the road tax added the whole
tax for county purposes and roads ranges
from Sc cents in Middleburg and New Wind
sor districts, to "a in Franklin. The tax in
other districts is as follows: Uniontown 50.
Westminster and Myers 81 each. Mount Airy
IS. Taneytowp SO. Manchester, Union Bridge
and woolery's>6 60 each; Freedom and Hamp
stead So each.
The tax ratei IL Washington county last year
was 81 cents, the County Commissioners using
money received from the sale Of the Western
MARYLAND railroad, but this year il is So cents.
It is liable to go up considerably higher next
year.
How would taxpayers in Carroll county
ike tax rate of S1.275, as in Allegauy; Sill,
as in Charles. the county dominated by Sid
ney E. Mudd, with negro road supervisors;
Sl.S0 in Kent, where Republican mismanage
ment made such rate necessary; or Sl.OS3,
as in Dorchester, where Phillips Lee Colds
borough, late Chairman Of the Republican
State Committee, holds sway.
Carroll has had honest faithful aud eco
nomical management since the Democrats
assumed control of the county, in 1867. There
was extravaganza discovered at the Aims
House in 1879, which was the continuation Of
the practices there under Republican rule.
and grew intolerable, but that sas stopped IN
1880 BY Democratic Board of County Com
missioners. There was some money diverted
by county treasurer, but that was refunded,
and the county treasurer was a Republican.
No county has had its affairs so wisely man
aged as Carroll, and consequently her tax rate
is the lowest. School appropriations have
been increased. the school year heightened,
and burdensome school debt put in form
better to be managed and its liquidation pro
vided for, and without any increase Of taxa

Roosevelt's Contempt.

No man in public life has ever expressed
such a contempt for the farmers and laborers
of our country as has President Roosevelt
After attributing to the cowboys Of the West
a moral depravity Of which no cowboy has
been guilty within half "a century; after de-
elaring that they were ''brutally dissipated,
that when drunk on villainous whiskey they
cut mad antics. ride horses in saloons, firing
their pistols right and left, etc, in his
Ranch Life and Hunting Trail opp. 9 and
l0). he adds:
They are much better fellows and pleas.
auter companions than small farmers or agri-
cultural laborers; nor are the mechanics aud
workmen Of great city to be mentioned IN
the same breath.
In speech made by him in New York in
October, 1896, at "sound-money' meeting
in the Wool Exchange, reported in the New
York Journal October %, 1896 MIR. Roose
welt said:
Mr.. Bryan and his adherents have ap-
pealed to the basest set in the land, the farm
ers.'
1t is n marvel that any party should offer
as a candidate for the Presidency man who
has so viciously traduced the character of the
best type of our citizenship, the American
farmer

some Lynchings are Good.

In his book, Winning Of the West,
Theordore Roosevelt wrote
''In many of the cases of a lynch law which
have come to my knowlege it has been healthy
for the community
He was thea writing of the lynching Of horse
and cattle thieves.
The President is much incensed since the
intense desire of becoming a candidate for
the Presidency seized him over the iynching
of worthless and vicious negroes for assaults
on white girls and women. He wants the
negro vote-that vote is his main reliance in
close States.
1t is healthful for the community to lynch a
white man for stealing horse-it Is an out
rage to lynch negro for assaulting and occa-
sionaly numbering white girl or woman.
This is Roosevelt's reasoning.

Taxes and Cost of Living.
From PhIladelphia Ledger. Republican.


A section of the Democratic campaign text
book lust issued deals with the important
question of the tariff tax and the part it plays
in increasing the cost of living. Facts and
figures are set forth in great detail TO show
that about one sixth of the direct and indirect
tariff tax paid by the average American taml-
" goes to the Government The rest OF 1t Is
the tribute levied by the tariff-fostered trusts
and monopoieS which control the cost OF
necessaries. 10 some of the instances cited
the Governments share is less than sixth.
A concrete illustration of the trust breeding
effect of the Dingley schedules is presented IN
the case of boots and shoes. The tariff tax
on these articles is estimated at Sl35 per
family per annum. OF this amount the Gov
eminent secures only y cents, while the beet,
leather and other trusts receive the lion 5
share, $l.2S. A table is presented, showing
how much of the tariff exaction on all articles
used by the average American family goes to
the Government and how much is approPrl.
ated by the trusts.
The average annual expenditure of an
Amet can family is placed at $40. This re-
suit is reached by dividing the value Of all
farm and other products consumed in the
United States in 1903 by the total number OF
families in the United States in that year.
Excluding the families Of professional men,
farmers and employers. it is estimated that
the average American family will spend pos
sibly less than 500. Taking the average
family expenditure at $40. it is shown that
such a family pays total annual tariff tax OF
Sill, that the Governments share Is Sl6.52
aud the trusts share is S94 IS.
The textbook does not undertake to explain
in detail how the amount of the tariff tax on
each article used by the families was ascer.
tanned but some examples are presented, aud
the assurance Is given that comparisons, com
putariuuS and deductions were made from
official reports and other Trustworthy da'a,
aud that the same method was pursued with
respect to every article found in the tables.

The Magnetic ~ Fairbanks.

Senator Fairbanks. the Republican nominee
for Vice President. is cold and indifferent
mau. Tia; has been his reputation for years.
The Republican papers are nov praisiag him
as a warm hearted and magnetic man. Well
be is not the first cold aud digui6ed man who,
when seeking favors from the people in the
way OF votes. has unbended and become cour-
teous and agreeable.
Circumstances sitter matters. Roosevelt.
from the iucessant talker and writer, is nov
as silent as the tomb. The more be talked
aud wrote the more be tangled himself up.
He was told by the Republican managers to
shut up Fairbanks was probably told
that an iceberg on the stump would not be a
vote getler, so he has melted.

Fears Roosevelt's Personality.

General Robert Avery, veteran of the Civil
War, member of the Grand Army, one of the
leaders of the Loyal Legion. and who has been
a militant Republican since he cast his first
vote, in 1860, announced recently that he
would take the stump in favor of Judge Parker
Explaining his determination to work for
Parker, Gen Avery said my chief reason
is the fear of President Roosevelt's personality
as a President. | think that a good many
older men ofthe Republican party are opposed
to this constant talk of war and the fiourishing
of the big stick by the present Administra-
