DIR. C. M. Ellis, of Elkton, through the
columns of the Wing last week, touches
on the subject of the deficit in the county
finances, which deficit, he intimates
amounts to fully $Ioo, 900, and perhaps is
in excess of that figure.
In common with other interested tax
payes, the Doctor is anxious to get at the
facts concerning what the county owes,
to whom it is owed, and for what it is
owing" and declares it is the first duty
of the incoming board of commissioners
to settle these important questions with
ont regard to parties or individuals.
The Doctors sentiments are in accord
with those of the citizens in general
throughout the county, for while the sub
iect was much threshed over during the
campaign no one seems any the wiser as
to the exact amount of the deficit or
where the blame is to be placed for the
tangled condition of the county finances.
A rigid course of the popular "investi-
CATION" treatment is what the people
would like to see, with the books under
going thorough examination by conf
petent and disinterested accountant, the
true state of affairs made public and
blame for the deficit placed where it
belongs.

Coinage Of Silver. Dollar Ceases

All the silver bullion purchased under
the acts of 1878 and 1890 having been
used, the coinage of the silver dollar is at
an end unless new legislation is passed
upon the subject by Congress. The Wall
street gang and other so-called sound
money gold bugs will now probably
heave signs of relief that they are no
longer threatened by the terrible menace
of the silver dollar. They we're in a
perfect frenzy about debased money
during the silver campaign, and while
they have been able to defeat legislation
favorable to the white metal, by methods
which have been exposed, they have not
been able to convince the people that the
silver dollar will not pass for its full value
as long as Uncle Sam says so, notwith-
standing all their efforts to ''debase" it.
Director Roberts in his report gives
brief history of the coinage of the silver
dollar, which was originally authorized
by act of April 2, 1892. the first coinage
act of the United States. The first dollar
pieces were struck at the mint in Phila-
deiphia in 1898. At that time French
and Spanish silver coins were legal
tended in the United States. In May,
1906, all coinage above the half-dollar
was stopped. Not another dollar was
struck for thirty years. In 1886 dollar
coinage was resumed. but only 1000
pieces were issued. In 1887 and 1888 none
was issued. The act of 1884 and 1887
revised the coinage laws. but the coinage
of silver, except for change, was small.
The act of Feb. II. 1873. demonetized
the silver dollar and none were coined
in 1874, 1875. 1876 or 1877.
The act of Feb. as. 1873, authorized
and directed the Secretary of the Treas
ury to purchase at the market price not
less thaulS2, ooo, 900 worth of silver bull

Congress will soon be wrestling with
the railroad rate question, and the situa-
sion presented is rather an odd one-that
of republican President being supported
almost unanimously by the leaders Of the
opposition party, while the leaders of his
own party are arrayed against him on the
question. The republican Senate pre-
tends to be il sympathy with President
Roosevelt, but packed as it is with rep.
resentatives of the railroads, it is hardly
likely these big corporations will have
much to fear from this source.
The railroads are letting it be known
they hold strong hand in the game and
when the attempt is made to enact legis-
lation restraining them from the exorbi-
tant rate charges which they have always
practiced without hindrance. one of the
cards they will play is a threat to reduce
the wages of their employees. This is
winning card and will be used to frighten
the supporters of the regulation measure
and force compromise.
The only remedy, and the one to which
the long-suffering people will finally re-
sort, is that of government ownership,
when these common carriers will be taken
out of the hands of the men who have
grown rich by extortionate rates, and run
for the benefit of the country at large.
In our Washington letter this week
will be found clear statement of facts
concerning the strength and arrogance OF
the railroads, and how they have, by cor
rupt methods, been able to dominate our
lawmaking bodies and control legislation,
the remedy pointed to being government
ownership. which this very arrogance on
the part of the railroads has done more
to popularize than any other one thing.

He says the postponement was sine

the postponement resulted from the

the representations point out that the
