Jackson-not one of whom but would have
recoiled in horror at the suggestion that the
United States minis should take silver or
any other metal worth fifty-two cents,
stamp it as IA dollar and send it out as a
coined lie to cheat not only nor chiefly our
foreign creditors, but the great mass of the
American people themselves, and especially
to rob labor of half its wages and cut in
two the credit of every thrifty man or
woman who holds a savings bank book.
The doctrine grandly taught by Tilden
will always remain true under such cir
cumstances, and the Democrat in the ranks
will have left to him "the reserved right of
the American citizen to vote for somebody
else. "-BditimOre Sun.

dence of the debt destroyed and the endless
chain broken by means of which the gold re-
serve i'll the Treasury is exhausted and the
government driven to the extremity of pur-
chasing bonds to pay debt which has been
repeatedly discharged before" This. to the
minds of eminent men abroad, constitutes the
chief financial question now confronting the
American people.
Mr.. Belmont quoted Lord DufTerin as Civ
ing voice to the following admirable senti-
ment: 1.-THE globe itself has become a mere
bundle of nerves, and the slightest disturb
ance at any one point of the system sends a
portentious tremor through its morbidly sen-
sitive surface
This language applies equally to diplomacy
and to commercial relations. The fact exist
ing and so strikingly put affords the best
possible argument why it would be perilous
for the United States alone to embark upon
the untried sea of free-silver coinage. Our
transactions with foreign countries amount
to about S1,525. 200, 900 annually. of which
SS70,000,000 represent exports and $685.
100000 are imports. Under existing crcum-
stances these valuations and payments would
have to be made on the gold basis, no matter
what form our currency may take and the
:115.000.000 which constitutes balance in
trade would represent only onehalf that
value under free silve.
All in all, Mr.. Belmont's goings abroad are
extremely valuable and quite pertinent to the
financial agitation now going on in our
country.

The Course of the Big Elk Creek.

The record of the injunction suit brought
in the Circuit Court for this county by DR..
Henry II. Mitchell against Receivers Cowen
and Murray, of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, was received in the United States Cir
cult Court at Baltimore on Wednesday.
DIR. Mitchell obtained a preliminary injunc-
ton in the Circuit Court for this county re-
straining the receivers from diverting the
course of the Big Elk Creek or diminishing
the quantity Of water in the stream. He
claimed that n grist and saw mill or land
owned by him on the creek at Elkton was
being interfered with.
The suit was removed to the United States
Court upon the application of the receivers.

have jurisdiction in the matter

the record by lynching the most unjusti-
fable of them all.
What are the people of Maryland going
to do about it?
Wait until the next lynching, and after
perfunctory and fruitless inquiry into
the facts, forget all about it?
In the meantime who can calculate the
irreparable injury done to the reputation
of the State by the frequency of these
lynching crimes, and the impression that
has gone beyond our State borders, as to
the insecurity of life in the State.
Now there isn't an intelligent man in
Maryland that doesn't know, that every
recent instance in which such outlawry has
been practiced, the guilty men could easily
have been brought to justice, had the
local authorities of the county done half
their duty.
But the law, its machinery and processes
in such cases, are being made mighty
farce of, and disrespect for our courts rap
idly inculcated
There is evidently condition now en-
istent in the State, that demands the seri
GUS consideration of the State authorities.
The spirit of mobocracy is abroad.
If Maryland is to retain her reputation
for civilization, culture and refinement, an
end must be put to this spirit.
Governor Lowndes has herein splendid
field, for the exercise of those resourceful
qualities of judgment and discretion, with
which his friends credit him.

Perry Belmont on BimetalliSm.

Mr.. Perry Belmont. of New York. has been
in Europe, and has learned something there
about bimetalism
He had excellent opportunities to sound the
opinions of British, French and German
tinanciers, statesmen and newspaper editors,
and his report of what the Europeans think
of Americas financial affairs is highly sug-
gestive and instructive.
Mr. Belmont thinks International agreement
on Il ratio of coinage between the metals
gold and silver-is nearer realization than
many suppose What that ratio would be he
does not venture to predict. and what limits
would be placed to the coinage of silver to
keep that kind of coin at par is also mooted
question. But he is quite convinced that
well-digested scheme Of double.standard coin
age, worked out in the American Congress
and presented to European nations through
diplomatic channels would receive favorable
consideration at the hands of foreign govern
ments If the plan should be moderate and
comprehensive the returned tourist secs no
reason why it should not be speedily accepted
by at least four of the trading nations of the
Old World, including Great Britain.
Another suggestive theme was put into Mr..
Belmont's mind by capitalists and newspaper
editors OF Paris. Why our country should
redeem its greenback debt and reissue it again

Estimating Results.

The silver men ar very confident that if the
Democrats should nominate a free coinage
advocate, on a 16-to-1 platform. they could
carry enough Western States to compensate
for the loss of New York and New Jersey. In
considering this claim it is assumed that the
South, with the exception of West Virginia
will remain Democratic though this is 10y no
means surety. Adding to the Southern
States the Western States, which would prob
ably vote for free silver. we should have these
electoral votes for the Democratic candidate:

Free Silver and Bust,

who are rushing into the Populist camp. So

Free silver and bust. is the cry that will
be heard should the policy of the Popuists
succeed. The bones of the emigrants were
scattered along awful miles of plains.
Ghastly bodies were turned to the blazing
sun. Cries of hungry children were heard,
and there were weeping mothers in those
days. And the few that reached Pixies Peak
what did they find but black rocks and snow
clad summit? They had blazed the way for
civilization. but civilization had to follow be-
fore the riches of the land were discovered or
turned to use.
SO will it he with silver should the silver
policy ever prevail. The rise in prices which
they foresee who preach lies the other side
of the Slough of Despond and the Plain of
Sorrow. Oh. yes. the rise will come. just as
Pixies Peak could be discovered a hundred
miles away. But the Slough must be crossed
and the Plain travelsed before that rise can
be reached. And the victims will be more
numerous than those who fell in the pilgrim
age to the great West.

ANOTHER STIGMA ON MARY
LAND.

The time has arrived in this State, when
public lynchings of suspected criminals by
unreasoning mohs, have ceased to be ''un-
pleasant" and 'regrettable" occurrences,
to be winked at by public authorities, and
dismissed with half hearted investigation.
Apparently such diagraceful scenes are
becoming chronic in Maryland.
Within few months, Somerset, Freder-
ick, Caroline and Howard have been the
scenes of such outrages, Charles has fol-
lowed suit within month, and now Mont
gomery county, whose people have hereto
fore especially prided themselves upon
their law.abiding character, has excelled

All OF these States are normally Republican
no one of them has any special silver interest
with the exception of California, and there
the interests are greatly diversified. All of
them, beside being normally Republican, are
devoted to the idea of protection. 1t is there
fore, reasonable to suppose that majority
would remain Republican. The silver men
would have to carry Iowa, Michigan and Wis
consin to win, or, losing one of these. would
have to carry four of these six States to get
majority. 1t is not reasonable to suppose
they could do so. and yet this is the most
favorable showing that can be made for them.
1t assumes that there shall be no OBJECTIONS
in the South, and gives to them some far
Western States, where the Republicans will
have more than II fighting chance.
In short, the nomination of free coinage
advocate at Chicago will settle the here tofore
doubtful States in favor Of the Republicans
and make the Northwest the battle ground
