The goldbug panic in Wall street
appears to be on the increase. The
banks are considering the matter
of repeating their conspiracy OF
getting up another panic, and sug-
gestions are made of curtailing
"credit," drawing in such loans as
are out and refusing to grant fur
ther Accommodations to business
concerns, and thus force a panic,
which will fall like killing frost
on the already languishing and
dying business of the country.
Such attempt to frighten and bull
dOze the people to vote for McKin-
ley would have the contrary effect,
and raise the temper of the people
to white heat. They had better
not try a repetition of that infamous
conspiracy on the country. The
ruin of 1898 is too fresh in the
memory of the thousands who suf
fered by that crime. The names o.
the chief conspirators have all beer
published. 1t was a Wall street
job, and the crime now under con
sideration is being planned in tina
sumo DEVILS den. 1t is no wonder
the people are determined to ge
rid of that pestilence breeding spo
to American industry.

ATLANTIC CITY.
Select One-Day Excursion via p. W.
B. r. r. and the Delaware River
Bridge Route.

Atlantic City is undoubtedly the greatest
of American seaside resorts. Its extent,
railroad facilities, variety of amusements,
excellence of bathing and fishing, all
make it the favorite resort ofthe American
people.
In order that the residents along the
line of the Central Division may become
more familiar with the attractive qualities
of Atlantic City, the Philadelphia, Will
1nington and Baltimore Railroad Comp
any has arranged for select one-day ex-
curson on Thursday, July 80.
A special train will be run through to

the transfer of passengers through Phila.

To the Editorof The Republican.
Two weeks ago | noticed in your
paper card from Rev j. W. Butler
as follows:
Dear friends:- The Maryland
Synod at it's recent meeting unani-
mOusly sustained the pastor and cOun-
Gil in their course Of action in the
troubles of st. Marks Ev. Lutheran
church Of Oakland, Md, and con
demned the opposite course as being

this matter was presented to the
Synod?
was before the committee at the
same time the pastor and delegate
were there. They circulated the
twelvepage circular and said they
could swear every word in it was the
truth. They had list of about one
hundred names TO a petition which
reflected on me and no doubt had a
great influence with The committee.
Mr.. Butler stated to the committee
that only four or five of the members
of the Sunday school stood by me.
When | made a list of thirtynine he
said they only came to Sunday school
about Christmas time to get a little
candy.

4th. Did you not tell most of the
persons who signed your petition that
it was a matter for the good of the
church, and that my name was not
mentioned in connection with that

Will always remember those two hours
between $50 and $50 u. III. OF the 23th
September, 1895, as the most thrilling
in our lives. Through Heavens favor,
we escaped, not only with our lives,
but even without hurt on our per
sons. 1t was indeed necessary to
choose positions very carefully, and
change from place to place, in order
TO avoid danger and escape death,
but this we fortunately had presence
of mind enough to do; and though
part OF our dwelling was leveled with
the ground, and the whole house
badly wrecked, We escaped harm to
person. Practically our house was
wiped out OF existence, though we
continue on the place and have com
menced rebuilding. la buildings,
household goods, fences, crops, tim
Der and stock killed, we sustain u loss
of some five hundred dollars, yet we
have come of better chan hundreds
around us and generally in the path
of the storm.
1t has not been possible up to this
time to gather data on which to base
reliable estimate of damages; but
certainly the figures would run into
the millions in this state alone. Thou
sands of families were left either with
out any shelter, or only a partially
demolished remnant of u home. In
hundreds of cases, not only house and
Out-buildings went down, but pro-
visions, bedding and clothing were
all blowing away, and the families
left absolutely destitute. Fortunately
this occurred to no great number of
families in groups; for, in the general
storm there were, here and there,
specially bad spots, and those who
Jared worst found neighbOrs not quite
so unfortunate. But the amount of
suffering necessarily resulting, can
never be fully known or recorded.
Very remarkably, there was com
paratively small loss of life. Possibly
not over POO persisted in this state and
Georgia, and of this number, a good
many met death on the water.
Such storm had never visited this
region. 1t is idle to make comparison
with other storms that have swept
this Peninsula; it was unique and
Heaven grant it may so remain!
But, as a personal matter, it was
worth the devastation, to witness such
scene. Imagine, if you can, clouds
flying with the speed of dove; birds
shot through the air like balls from a
musket; buildings crushed like card
board, and trees going down like
grain before the sickle. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that we saw hundred

MONDAY NIGHTS MEETING.
The Republicans of this District Regaled
with Three Sound Speeches.


1t has been many years since q
political meeting held in Oakland
was as enthusiastic as the one held
last Monday night in STARTERS Opera
House. Never before in the history
of Garrett county politics has there
been placed on the rOstrum a trio of
speakers eXcelling those who spoke
that evening. They were Mr. Chas
A. Schirm, of Baltimore; Hon. Milton
q. Urner, of Frederick, and Mr. Rich
ard H. Bond, of Baltimore.
Mr.. Schirm was the first speaker
and for almost an hour he held the
undivided attention of the large audi
ence, and shot such facts and sound
logic into the ears of his hearers that
a visible impression was made upon
some of those who are holding onto
the free silver falIacy. His oratory
was of the highest order and his eli
makes were simply superb. His ref
erence to the old soldiers was most
affecting and tears were brought to
| the eyes of a large number of his au-
dience.
Mr.. Schirm was followed by the
| Hon. Milton G. Urner. who is no
stranger to our people. They always
look forward to an address from him
with great pleasure and his effort
Monday night was the greatest he
has ever put forth in this county.
His convincing logic was adorned
with oratOrical gems, and if any
doubt ever possessed the minds Of his
hearers on the money question they
were certainly dispelled by his rea-
| sOning. Giant strokes were dealt at
the fallacy of free silver, and only
regret was expressed when he closed.
Mr.. Richard H. Bond closed the
meeting with speech that captivated
the entire audience. His illustrations
were the best we have ever heard and
his powers of mimicry are inimitable.
His address was fitting close to the
greatest political meeting ever held
in the county.
The meeting was ably presided over
by our fellOw-tOWnsman Scott Y.
Jones, Esq, who in his Introductory
remarks made some of the most tel
ling arguments advanced during the
evening. Especially happy We're his
references to the reasons why gold
was now being withheld from circula-
ton and no one could have any doubt
remaining in his mind as to the wis
dom of the policy now being pursued
by the banks Of the country with ref
erence to the holding of gold.
Smiths Military band enlivened
the meeting with good music and ad-
ded much to the enjoyment of the oc-
casion with their catchy airs.

CANTON AND LINCOLN.


AcKinley's Town has been Made Prosper
ous and Prominent.
The thousands Of voters who go TO
Canton daily to pay their respects to
Maj. Mckinley and assure him of
their support for the presidency,
provide an interesting feature of this
campaign. 1t is likewise in marked
contrast to the harum scarum tour
William Jennings Bryan, the PopO-
cratic candidate, is making over the
country for votes. The hundreds of
excursion parties which pour weekly
into Mckinley's town have proved of
immense benefit to Canton in fnan-
cial way. Some of the leading citi-
zens of the place have undertaken to
discover approximately how much
money has been brought to and left
in Canton by the visitors. Their
Figures up to the present time show
that over $1,000, 900 has been spent
within the city limits by the various
delegations since Mckinley was nomi-
mated. 1t is also estimated that the
amount will reach 81, 800, 900 before
the campaign is over.
These figures are not imaginary,
but are based upon facts as obtained
from the hotel proprietors, restaurant
keepers, boarding house people and
business men generally. 1t might be
surmised that the Canton people
were cha rging gilt edge" prices for
everything they sell to strangers, but
this is not so. There is too much com
petition for that. There are hotels,
boarding houses and restaurants with
out number. Many private dwellings
have been turned into lunch rooms,
and the signs in front of them read;
"Hot soup and sandwich, Is cents"
or square meal, 25 cents,n while
the prices demanded at hotels and
restaurants have not been advanced.
Church organizations have opened
rooms in the business portion of the
town where hot meals are served for
% cents, and they are palatable
enough for a king. A lady in charge
of one of these places told your re-
porter that they had taken in 5000
during the noon hour, and she con
sidered that rather poor" business

a destruction of timber there las

Scarcely half mile of road was to Be
found anywhere in this county, prac
ticable for wagOning. In many CASES
one hundred trees to the mile, are

the timber destroyed would, in IL
next twenty-five years, have adde's ~
least $4,000, 600 to the wealth of F$f-
ida; scarcely onefourth of thisscaH be
saved.
OF course some few of our people
are frightened or disheartened, and
will quit the state; but in general, we
are making the best of it, and going
forward to rebuild our wasted houses,
trusting that He who sent the storm,
will also find a refuge.

compared with the ordinary run.

compared with the ordinary run.
The fact, however, that Canton
has been brought before the eyes Of
the world during this campaign and
the advertisement the city has
through newspapers and visits Of dele
cations, will be of incalculable value
to Canton in the future. That the
people never tire of these excursions
is evident from the fact that every
time delegation marches from the
station through the streets the men,
women and children rush to their
doors to see the procession, and cheer
them on their way. Every one there
is in love with Mckinley and every
thing which pertains to his success
is of intense interest to them. This,
in addition to the MONETARY benefit
derived, lends enthusiasm to business
and it can be safely said that Canton
has never thrived as she is doing now.
Lincoln, Neb., the home of Bryan,
is seldom ever heard of in connection
with the Democratic candi date for
president. That place has prospered
solely through the efforts of her own
citizens, and nothing will be owing to
w. j. Bryan. Had the latter stayed
at home and received delegations, as
Mckinley has done, Lincoln would
have reaped the benefit. 1t goes
without question that visiting dele
cations would not be one-tenth so
large or numerous as those visiting
Mckinley daily, but there is no doubt
that Lincoln would be glad to receive
delegations, large or small, if for no
other reason than the monetary and
advertising advantages to be obtained
therefrom. Bryan has been of no
benefit to his home city, while McKin-
ley has added both wealth and promi-
hence to Canton.
