pealed by Republican Congress.
We are told now that it is the
Mckinley bill that is the cause of
all the troubles in our land and yet
only a short year ago Democratic
papers and orators all over the land
said it was the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver law that was the
trouble and even the Garrett county
Democrats in their platform spoke
Of the "Sherman silver bill by which
so much disaster has come to the
business interests of the people,"
The Republicans said it was not sill
yer but Democratic free trade, and
the Republicans in Congress helped
repeal the Sherman law. But the
trouble was the blIghting hand of
tree trade Democracy had clutched
the business of the country by the
throat and finally gave us a bill OPP
posed to the best interests of TIE
American people and so much IN
favor of Europe that the London
chamber of commerce gave their
true friend, Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson,
banquet at which he made a
speech that we would like the DEM
Ocrat to publish so that the voters
of Garrett county could see what
Wilson had to say. Like the DEM
0crat he said amongst other things
that there was more to follow. 1t
was a speech that nearly equalled
that of Cleveland's "Cousin Ben"
to the manufacturers of Sheffield.
With devastation and ruin hang
ing like a pail over the land, with
such a sad condition of affairs that
has not been seen in the land since
the Democratic days "befo' de wah"
and which perhaps has never been
equalled in the history Of the United
States it will find its loves labor lost
to appeal to the voters to elect NJ
Williams.
The people have tried the Demo-
cratic party. It has miserably
failed to keep its pledges; its leaders
have shown themselves incompetent
and Democracy has proven to be a
little too expensive for the good Of
the people and this fall the voters
will bury the Democratic party like
the old Welch woman said to bury
the devil "face downward so the
more he dug the deeper he would
get -
In the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict of Maryland we will send a
man to Congress upon a platform
of protection and you will find that
"the mills of the gods grind slowly
but they grind exceeding fine"

Communicated,

To the Editor OF The Republican.
The Democrat of last week in its
frantic appeal to the voters of Gar
rett county to support Williams,
said: "You are now getting a taste
of what Democracy will do for you"
Very true, and as Cleveland once
SAID: "The people need an object
lesson" and we have been having
it with vengeance. Yet, with dire
disaster, idleness and financial ruin,
with such large number of unem-
ployed which according to Brad-
streets made the frightful aggre-
gate of SOL, SS5 men and which
afterward was increased to more
than one million, with an Admins
tratlon which has shown itself in
competent and which, with a large
majority in Congress, has misera-
bly, failed to keep it's pledges to the
people, an Administration which IS
a disgrace to American civilization,
the Democrat asks the voters of this
district to return the party to power
that has made such miserable fail
ure Of the administration of public
affairs that thousands of honest
Democrats throughout the country
are disguised with the actions of
their leaders and will no longer vote
the Democratic ticket.
Yes, it is true the Democratic
party gave us a tariff bill after
months of wrangling. 1t is bill,
to use the words of President Cleve-
land in his letter to William l.. Will
son, "means party perfidy and party
dishonor," and in the same letter
Cleveland asks chow can we face
the people after lndulging IN such
outrageous determinations and vio-
lations of principle.'' This is what
Cleveland had to say of the bill
which the Democrat seems to love
so much and of which it says there
is more to follow.
They gave us a tariff bill that
passed the House which favored
free coal. viii the Democrat tell
the miners of Western Maryland
that it IS in favor of free coal: and
your party leaders who have shouted
themselves hoarse telling us what
friends they are to the workingman
where were thew when the dc1epa-
ton of miners went to Washington
last winter to protest against free
coal and McKaig, the great friend
of the miner, showed his friendship
by voting for Tree coal, and yet he
could not endorse the Senate tariff
bill but voted against the bill in
caucus, ashamed of the bill that the
Democrat says is "going to bring
joy to the people, l suppose that
joy will come when the bill is re-

He Should be Beaten,

Gov. Mckinley well said that no
American chamber of commerce
had yet banquetted Prof. Wilson.
1t is queer spectacle that the
chairman of the ways and means
committee of the American Con-
gress should be the object of such
distinguished attention from a
body of foreigners, whose interests
are to be promoted in proportion
as those of Mr.. Wilson's country
are to be damaged by the theories
he advocates, These British gem
tlemen are not industrial philan-
thropists. Great Britain is nothing
commercially if not selfish. 1t is
solely because Of the benefit that is
to be derived by her from the Will
son idea that she dimes and wines
him.
But IN receiving this British
hattery Chairman Wilson need not
to have gone so far as to apologize
for the institutions of his own
country. Here is what he said:
owe are being rapidly sobered,
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1894-10-11

though unparalleled, by the truth,
forced upon us, that Of all human
governments a free government is
the most complex and difficult, and
Judging from the worlds expert
ence, the most uncertain and short
lived. You and your institutions
are strong because they are deeply
rooted IN the past"
Mr.. Wilson, 1t seems, has otter
qualifications for being good
Britain besides that of being a free
trader. 1t is not true historically
that free governments are "dit1i-
cult" or "short lived" and Mr..
Wilson should not have gone so far
as to falsify history in order to con-
fess himself ashamed of his own
republic and euamored of the Brit
ish monarchy.
1t will probably be found next
month that Mr.. Wilson's West
Virginia constituents do not desire
a Representative whose economic
theories advance foreign interests
at the expense of those at home
and who goes to London to express
his convictions of the stability O
royalty and the weakness of democ
racy.

That she will!

Two weeks ago we invited the
Democrat to produce It's figures
proving that the price of wool had
advanced since the advent of the
German bill.
So far it has failed to produce
which leads us to the opinion that
it either had no figures or if it did
they have escaped. However, the
invitation stands.

Ah " w lLDIAMEy OlIS lIOIllOSA ttOlN
nominee for Congress, has compile
ted his tour Of this county, and we
wonder what he honestly thinks of
the outlook.
We would like to know whether
he thinks the Democrats of Garrett
county are satisfied with his posi-
ton on the tariff. Probably we are
too fast in this matter for Mr.,
Williams failed to state what his
position was and therefore the
faithful and unterrificd cannot form
any opinion as to where Mr.. Will
Jams stands.
The voters Of Garrett county
having heard both Mr.. Wellington
and Mr.. Williams can form their
own opinions as to who would best
represent their interests in Con-
gress.
Where does Mr.. Williams stand?
Is he in favor of a tariff on coal?
Is he i'll favor of duty on wool?
Is he in favor of a tariff on lumber,
and is he in favor of a bounty on
sugar?
These are questions of vital i'm
portance to our people. Did he
frankly declare his position on any
OF these questions? if he did not
then how can the people of Garrett
county support HIM at the ballot
box? What sort of Representative
would he make when he has no
defined position on any of these
matters? Would not Mr.. Williams
as our Representative, simply mis-
represent us as McKaig did? Would
he not stand where Mr.. Cleveland
stands? Where the present House
of Representatives stands-in favor
of free raw materials and leave
every interest of Garrett county
open to foreign competition and
foreign cheap and pauper labor?
Where does George L. Wellington
stand?
lie declared from every platform
in the county where he addressed
his enthusiastic followers, that he
stood
First for duty of seventy-fve
cents per ton on coal.
Second, for duty on lumber.
Third, for a duty on wool.
Fourth, for a bounty on sugar.
Fifth, for high rate of wages.
Sixth, for fair and liberal pen
sions to the Union soldier.
This is his platform. This is
where he stands. There is no
equivocation or uncertainty about
Mr.. Wellington's position. To-day
he is the champion and defender of
every interest of our people and the
same position which he took among
the hills of Garrett was also his
platform among the lowlands of
Montgomery.
And upon this platform he will
be triumphantly elected.

The Democratic Meeting in Oakland.

The Democratic meeting in Oak

night. "T. Jay" the Cumberland

MARYLAND Hi2hwaVS,

While public debt is, as rule, to
be avoided it is often merely a mat
ter of arithmetic to show that it
sometimes pays to create a public
debt. Frederick county, Md, for
instance, spends about $4,000 a
year in repairing roads, At 4 per
cent the'county could borrow $780,
900 for $50 900 a year. With $500,
600 it could make $50 miles of
macadam road, which, with the
present turnpike roads. would
probably cover all the important
roads Of the county. The sum of
s., 900 would then remain, without
increasing present expenditures, for
repairs or a sinking fund.
Such policy as this is not an
experiment. 1t has been tested IN
New Jersey, and the result in the
public esteem is shown by the ex-
tension of the system. This leaves
out of consideration the saving to
the farmers and other taxpayers
effected by good roads. By being
able to reach market in the winter
season, by the saving in time, horse
flesh and vehicles, it is estimated
that the average farmer can save
far more than enough each year to
pay his whole tax bill. 1t is only a
question of time that the New Jer-
sey system will be introduced into
Maryland, at least into those rich
counties where there is plenty of
stone.-Baltimore Sun.

IT WOULD be very sad if Mr..
Williams were to be unable to take
a hand in further tearing down tar
if defenses in next Congress. 1t
looks as though the people of this
district have determined to give
him all the time he needs to cult
vate the acquaintance of the fact
that the farmers of Garrett county
want protection on wool and lumber
and a bounty on maple sugar.
