Ocean City Hotels Made Money This sum |
ner-Fishing aAd Shooting.
OCEAN CITY, Md Sept. II The sea-
son has virtually closed at Ocean City,
and il has been the best one the hotels
have had for many years. They all made
some money, and there is a general feel
ing Of encouragement for the next season
Though the principal hotels are closed
there will remain open sufficient board
and lodging accommodations for the
fishermen and huRtsmen love OF sport
will draw during the fall and win
ter. The ocean fishing is excellent for
both sea trout and red drum. The latter
are fshed for from the beach,
the fisher casting his hook at
tached to long hand line
beyond the breakers aud pulling in his
FISH through the surf when hooked
When a bite is had the fisherman throws
his end Of the line around his shoulders
and starts up or down the beach, follow
| ing tue direction taken by the FISH and
| gradually working him ashore as he goes
! Skill Is required TO land drum in this
way, but it is fine sport. The blue and
/ trout fishing is out at sea, from three to
seven miles from shore, and In water
from thirty FIVE 70 City feet deep. The

| sharks and hammethead sharks. The
sharks are often OF arge size, and are
always vicious, fighting with their
powerful strength from the time they
feel the sting OF the hook.
The new railroad has opened up this
beach as a fishing ard cunning place to
the knowledge Of sportsmen who never
heard OF Il before There is prooably no
better on the Atlantic. Besides the
beach birds Of various kinds that are al
ways found, in the winter the Synepux
emit bay Abounds in wild geese. The few
lovers Of sport who have known of these
wild fowl grounds have utilized them for
years, The professional goose hunter
has house built on q seow in
which be lives and where he
can take care Of his patrons.
This floating house is moved about the
bay wherever he thinks the sport will be
best. according TO the prevailing winds
and other circumstances Domesticated
wild geese are used as toilers These
huntsmen will tell one Of forty wild
geese a day to a mans stories not being

PURCHASING POWER DECEASED.
A tariff organ, in deprecating free
coinage, is moved to say: "a decrease Of
the purchasing power of the currency
means an increase Of the hours that the
workingman must toll in order TO make
a living"
The decrease in the purchasing power
OF wages is accomplished in the same
way by Increasing the prise Of the neces-
ssries OF life.
The Mckinley bill increased the duties
on 79l articles in common use so that
wage Garner is required to work longer
now TO purchase those articles than was
required heretofore The only justifica
ton for that is the senseless allegation
thrt the industries which make those
articles would be destroyed If they had to
contend against the competition Of Eng
lish and German Industries.
Who says they will be destroyed How
can anybody be intimately enough ac-
quainted with the prices, wages, prof Is
aud capital of so many industries as to
know that they are in need OF public
charity2
II is impossible,
There are lightweight Senators, about
thirty Of whom only are high tariff ad
vocstes. Could any distribution be
imagined, by which each one Of those
men, by the closest conceivable study.
could determine within years time, OF
ten years time, whether twenty six
different articles are manufactured in this
country at loss, and that
the loss results from high wages? Could
any Senator ascertain facts enough to
base important and obnoxious legisla.
tion upon, from even two industriesf
No; aud, they did not try to ascertain.
Only one senator in the lot, Aldrich, pre-.
tended to be familiar with prices, and
senator Gray and others tripped him up
whenever he attempted to make any
statements concerning prices, capital in
vested, profits, and wages, which he
rarely did. They all simply accepted the
interested statements OF the men who
were to be benefited, and would not lis
ten to arguments against the use Of the
taxing power for such selfish and unjust
purposes.
These facts show that the Mckinley
Tariff bill is fraud upon the people,
placed on the statute books at the de-
mand of the manufacturers themselves,
and not after a careful and honest ex-
animation of each, or, of any industry by
the men who voted for It.
This WAS accom- lished by a narrow,
partisan majority, by trickery, and with
the knowledge thai the people would
have to work longer to purchase the
same amount Of goods than they had
worked before.
This was done with the consciousness,
that, though steam, electricity, in
genuity ana energy made greater effects
on the manufacturing industries and
procured greater advances in all arts and
sciences here and, that, though our
workiugmen worked better and for more
hours and days In the week they, still
could not buy the same goods as cheapl.
as poorer workmen bought in less fav
ofed countries and by working fewe
hOnrs for less money.
1t is precisely the same with wage
as this high tariff organ says it is will
silver, the purchasing power is de
creased.

WHEN the law says the Levy Court
