BANQUET.


An ertempore banquet was rendered
John Goldsworthy, bicycle champion,
at the Slicer House Thursday evening,
at the conclusion of which the honored
guest was surprised by the presenta-
ton of the columbia" wheel on which
he has made his record. John Cham
bers made the most eloquent effort of
his life. The wind was from the east
and at its conclusion the people living
up Main street far as "Last Chance
thought the National Bryan conven-
ton had broken loose again. Mr..
Goldsworthy's modesty, overcome by
his merit, forced him to rely on his adj
mirers for proper responses and the
task was gladly taken by several.
Among those present was Hanson
Wilson, Mr.. Goldsworthy's COMPETE
tor. Mr.. Wilson enjoyed the occa-
sion fully and made happy use of the
opportunity to thank the Frostburg
bicyclists and the people generally for
kind concern and treatment. A SER
enade by the Arion band and display
of fireworks were features of the oc-
casion.

Masters of Folly.

The Baltimore convention, held
Wednesday evening, chose eight law
yers, one real estate broker, one auc-
tioneer, one corporation man, two
merchants, one farmer and two cap
italists to represent Maryland sound
money democracy at Indianapolis.
The workingman, for whom so much
solicitude is expressed nowadays, was
wholly forgotten, and the employing
farmer got in by close. shave
Fifteen of the delegation make their
living by the sweat of their tongues
and the sixteenth "toils not, neither
does he spin"
That is the trouble with the anti
German leaders in matters of policy
when they have sense they have no
chance; when they have chance they
have no sense.

An Over-Sensitlve Head

1t is enough to make the average voter
head swim trying to reconcile the conflicting
statements Of the gold bug press. Here is an
example: Free coinage means giving 100
cents to the western mine owner for So cents
worth of silver and 1t also means 5O-cent
dollar to the workingman. How it can be
worth 1GO cents and so cents at the same
time is a problem too deep for anyone but a
gold bug to ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CIV.
Va.) New dominion.
The "swim" starts in the Chicago
platform, which proposes to make the
government the patron and servant
of the bulllon-owners and abandon the
workingman to the tender mercies of
the unfeeling world of commerce.
The Cover nment must melt the bull
lion for nothing for nothing stamp
it with lie, pocket the lie until it
reaches the workingman, the first and
last victim of the bunco. With lie
on his hands and the world of honest
trade against it, the workingman will
never, never, mover be able, by might
or right, force or fraud, to pass it to
other hands as a dollar!
Hence, it has come to pass that the
workingman who votes for Bryan,
distinctly votes to rob himself Of the
protection that government owes him
and to transfer it wholly to the owners
Of silver bullion
That is tho long and short Of it!

Homecoming Strategy.


A high old time occurred in the
eighth inning of the baseball game at
Homecoming Thursday-a time so high
that the game had to be called. 1t
seems that the Meyersdale team was
quite busily engaged in the festive
duty of feeding the Homecoming sass
engers to the pigs, the score standing
at to 6 favoring Meyersdale-a status
which the Homecoming ideal never
tolerates under a baseball rule of that
club that Homecoming must win if
Homecoming ''has to fight for it,
The latter club, seeing it was going to
become fertilizer for typhoid, and
that right before their home folks, got
so mad they couldn't have hit car
load of brick with pick axe Hence,
when Creegan, of Midland, "empire,"
decided point which did not conform
to the Homecoming rule, one of the
club jumped him. And the rest look
ed ugly enough to make Meyersdale
fear that the United North American
Union of South Pekinian hoodoos had
gone into session for work in the 33d
degree. 1t was the old scheme, now
overworked, ana some day those gents
will hit somebody and get the worst of
it. Next day they will not be able to
leave their beds, and eventually no
respectable club will stoop to play with
them.

lie schools.
Last spring we made such request
OF the county school commissioners.
They did not feel authorized to act
and referred the matter to the State
board.
That body, after careful considera-
ton. said the county board had full
power to act in the premises.
Thereupon we repeated our request
and the county board. as at present
constituted, said no teacher would be
interfered with who should undertake
the daily reading.
1t is our purpose to request every
teacher in Frostburg and vicinity to
read the Bible each morning IN his or

may Think best represents the sense of

Former Goldbug," writing in the

of statement between William Nc
Kinley and Grover Cleveland concern
ing the seigniorage.
If there is difference 16 to l old
Grover is right.
Governments, like individuals, use
their profits in their business, and,
when used, they are not available as
cash-in the former case especially.
"Coining the seigniorage" is like re-
turning a book account as cash.
But nothing is cash that is not cash.

Blair Lee, of Montgomery county,

This is surprise, as Ferdinand
Williams, of this county, seemed to
be the only prospective winner.
But in the "classic" English of
Homecoming Mr.. Williams appears to
have been "empired."
Senator German called the game in
the first inning before Williams could
even essay an effort to even try to at
tempt an endeavor to make a run.

A Misdirected Crusade

The dollar is the finest barom-
eter Of social storms, and announces revolu-
ns.-EmersOn.
Not this year, it is to be hoped.
Nor any year in the future.
The good sense of the American ma
jority, it is believed, will stave off the
deadly assault on the dollar until the
assailants come to their senses again.
For the dollar is innocent. Its
character and quality have nothing what
ever to do with the so called current
depression. Though largely blamed,
1t is absolutely blameless.
If Mr.. Bryan and his friends would
make war on tariffs that do not pro-
duce revenue, and on Congresses that
appropriate more than the revenue
provides, they would hit the real causes
of the trouble.
They could do this without smash
ing the very thing without which rev.
enues are intangible and appropria-
tons meaningless,
Instead, however, they let the real
culprits go scot free and level a deadly
blow at the heart of commemorative
regulator of the lfe-blood of trade.
In all history there has never been
a more tremendous and fearful diver
sion of effort from the right to the
wrong track.
The lawyer who would lay the blame
IN an ordinary case of insolvency on
the dollar instead of the man who had
lived beyond his income, would be de-
clared lunatic-so far harmless.
But II he then became the engineer of
movement to destroy the innocent
dollar, he would soon be popularity re-
garded as man who ought to be
locked nm

The Two CulnritS.

"Gold Miner" writing to the New
York World, explains
why a bit of gold the size of our dollar
has its equivalent as unit of purchase
among all nations, while piece of silver six
teen times as much has been settled upon as
of equal value:
The reason is that in the old days before
1873, if the metals produced by 2O.aO mems
labor in gold and silver mines were equally
divided the average result to the gold-miners
would be 10000 bits of gold the size of our
dollar, while 10000 pieces of silver would be
the product of the silver miners, each the size
ofour silver dollar Thus each output of metal
represented the average result OF an able
bodied mans days work
Since the discovery of the enormous silver
deposits the average silver product of mans
labor has doubled. Therefore, to Use silver
as representative of the result of day labor
the dollar Of silver should be made twice the
present size. So, while by law we can make
the 16-to-1 silver dollar a legal tender, it is
impossible to raise the intrinsic Ii. e., market)
value ofthe white metal to an equality with
oOA>A
in the mines We might just as well pass
law that sixteen ounces of copper should be
equivalent to one ounce of gold. II might be
made the law but not tie fact.
The trouble the world is laboring under is
motd"e to the currency. The causes lie deeper
and are the same in all nations. Coin is a
factor, straw on the surface
AS all values are originally based
upon the amount Of Mbor required to de-
velop them, this explanation ought to
make it plain, especially to miners,
how it came to pass that gold was
worth sixteen times more than silver
before "the crime of 1873" is SAID to
have been committed.
According to "Gold Miner" the
original culprit in the case is Nature,
and the accessories after the fact"
are the people who invented and put
to use the means whereby one man can
get out thirty-two ounces of silver in
the same time that it takes the poor
gold miner to find and develop one
ounce of gold.
In the first place, it seems, Nature,
while favorlng gold with quality, did
vastly more for silver in the way of
quantity.
This may have been altogether
wrong in Nature, but she did it.
In the second place, it did not take
the wild and woolly" genii long to see
that comparatively easier development
must be facilitated by mechanism-by
factors more potent than handiwork.
And so Natures quantity had to be
developed to eounterbalance Natures
quality.
These two, then-Nature and the
silver miner are the forces who demon
etlzed silver-that is, if silver has ever
been demonetized
Natures part in the crime was com
mitted when this old globe was ROLL
ing mass of liquid earth and boiling
granite, and the accessories did their
deadly work some time before 1878.
In nutshell, if silver has ever been
destroyed as base for money it has
been done in the house of Nature, its
first prodigal friend, and, later, in the
palaces of those who, taking the cue
from plentiful deposit, have slim
ulated plentiful development.
