Section SO of the registration and
election law Of Maryland of 1896 says:
"If at any election hereafter held in
any city or county, any person shall
by force, threat, menace,
intimidation, bribery or reward, or
offer or promise thereof, or otherwise
unlawfully, either directly or indi-
rectly. influence or attempt to infiu-
ence any voter in gi6ing has cote; or
prevent or hinder, or attempt to pre-
vent or hinder, any qualified voter
from freely exercising the right of
suffrage, shall, upon CON
viction thereof, be punished by i'm
prisonment in Jail or in the peniten-
tiary for not less than six months nor
more than five years"
1t is fact beyond dispute that a
letter has been written from Oakland
to IA gentleman residing in District
No. of this county threatening him
with prosecution by the Democratic
committee should he attempt to exer-
else the right of suffrage at the ap-
preaching election.
We have quoted this portion of the
law above for the benefit of the Dem
ocratic committee and any other per-
sons who attempt to influence or in
timidate any of the qualified voters
This IS 1rng%8E,
which has been brought to our atten-
tion but should there be others in the
county of which our readers have
knowledge we hope they will forward
the same to the States Attorney of
Garrett county who will give them
the same attention which we are sure
he will bestow upon the letter above
referred to.

We HAVE been requested to

secretary CarllSle'S speech at CoNlnSton'
Secretary Carlisle's speech at Gov
ington, KY, on Thursday night last,
the first in his Kentucky campaign,
was a mastery exposition of the great
issue before the country. 1t is mat
ter of regret that the official duties of
the Secretary have prevented him
from taking part at an earlier day in
the contest, in order that his great ar
guments for sound money and public
credit might have reached every voter
in the land.
Speaking as a National Democrat
for Palmer and Buckner, the Secre-
tary of the Treasury mercilessly eX-
poses the false pretense and hypocrit-
ical cant of the claim of regularity"
and Democracy in behalf of the Chi
lcal organization, he says, is not an
end, but means; and the Democracy
is not machine" but a voluntary
association of free citizens represent
ing principles which they deem neces-
sary for good government. This is
quite a different conception OF the
purpose Of party organization from
that of Senator German. Senator
Faulkner and others who have fore
sworn the principles of Democracy in
the vain effort to keep their hold on
the party machine. AS to the redicu-
lous claim of ''regularityn for the
Chicago nominations, Mr. Carlisle
showed that in twenty-siX or twenty
seven States the supporters of Mr..
Bryan have entered into coalition
with the Populists to cut" the can
didate for the Vice Presidency On
their own ticket. Yet these Oppor-
tunists, who have violated party OBJ
legations and Democratic principles
for eXpediency, demand that Demo
Gratis shall stifie their consciences to
support a programme of revolution
and vote for q ticket on the score of
''regularityn a part of which they
have themselves refused to support.
Asking Democrats to vote for Mr..
Sewall because he is the regular
Chicago nominee for the Vice Presi-
dency, they have traded him in
twenty-odd States for the Populist
candidate.
In discussing the currency question
Secretary Carlisle lays down his prop
ositions with the philosophy of a
Bacon or Locke. A few examples
Of his method of exposing cheap
money humbugs must suffice. He
says:
eve deny absolutely that any leg
islative or executive act of this Gov |
ernment, or of any other Government. |
however powerful, can make so cents |

Again:
"My friends, the laws of trade and
inance cannot be repealed by Con
gressionai action. We may destroy
he value OF our money; we may by
lnwise legislation drive out the best
money and compel our own people to
Keep the poorest for use at home, but
We cannot change the value of money
n other countries, nor force their
PEOPLE to receive 80 cents or 70 cents as
he equivalent of 258 grains of gold"
Once more:
1--WE may declare an ounce of silver
II an ounce of copper to be equal to
N ounce of gold; but it will not make

ooner we recognize this simple fact,

SENATOR Butler. chairman of the
Populist National Committee, is
nursing bruises from bicycle fall in
which 'he landed on every part Of his
body at the same time" the machine
having got beyond his control, The
reference, of course, is TO the bicycle,
not to the Populist machine, although
Mr. Butler has had troubles of his
own in riding that, too.

The Issue.

As the campaign progresses the
real issue of the present politzN
struggle comes more and more cfeaHly
into view. We have but to use our
eyes and ears to recognize that there
is deeper subject demanding the
present attention of the people of the
United States then the tariff, Apr even
the money question. Important as
these are, and touching vitality as
they do our materal prosperity, they
are secondary to a consideration that
underlies the discussion of every Ilch
question, and that is the stabililet of
our republican institutions. Who
intelligently notes the daily progress
of Bryanism can fail to see that it
strikes at the very foundation of pour
Government? When the GovernQr of
Illinois makes the main subject Of bis
harangues, as he did in New Y5rk
city the other day, the defense of ehis
own rebelliOus defiance of Federal
authority; when in public speeches
the name OF the President of the
United States is joined with epithets
too vile for publication; when the
Secretary of the United States Treas
ury is rotten-egged and free speech
denied him in his own city; when the
Presidential nominee of great party
dares to speak of certain sections of
his country as the enmy's count VI
surely it is time for patriotism rise
above partisanship and assert gself.
Shall we surrender into the ha of
these demagogues and boy Orators
and ventilaters of foreign-born here
sizes the control of this Government,
hallowed to every American by the
sufferings and sacrifices of his ances-
tors? Shall the rule of the people be
exchanged for the rule of the mob?
The American people have done
some very foolish things in their time.
Often imposed upon and juggled with
by those whom they have intrusted
with the management of their affairs,
they have condoned some acts that
sober second thought has condemned
But in great a crisis they have evel
risen to the occasion, and their native
integrity and common sense have
guided them to right conclusions
To-day our country is confronted
with conditions as grave as it has eve
had to face The spirit of disunio1
is abroad in 1896 no less than it wa
in 1860. Its unholy jargoning now il
about Glasses and sections. Un
der the mask of Popocracy the coun
try is threatened with the unspeaka
BILE tyranny of Rabble Rule. 1t is ;
useful reminder. Let the voice of th
people through the ballot on the 81
, of November tell in trumpet tone
that the spirit of '76 still lives; tha
this people is yet a free people; tha
their will is sovereign, and that tn
country shall continue in the van
guard of the nation, declaring TO
, progress and for the perpetuation o
"a government of the people, for tn
people, by the people" on the onl
lasting foundation of justice, integrit
, and order.

If the Government has the power
to create values" why should it ever
levy taxes? What is the need of
starting with 50 cents worth of silver
to make a doller? Why not make
dollars out of the cheapest material it
can get, and make enough of them to
pay all of its expenses?
The Republican., 1896-10-29

Mr.. BRYAN continues to quote on
the stump the former opinions of Mr..
Mckinley, Secretary Carlisle and
other public men in favor of free coin
age. When Secretary Carlisle favored
the Bland bill (not free coinage) the
silver in a dollar was worth 81 centsin
gold, and he believed, with many
others who now favor Sound Money,
that the effect of an increased coinage
of silver would be to restore it with
former relations with gold. This was
very different from the condition un-
der which Mr.. Bryan now advocates
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer dollars. But what does Mr.. Bryan
prove by citing these authorities, eX-
cept that they have the wisdom and
courage to abandon a false position
when convinced of their error, while
he has not.

According to the statistical reports of
the Government the gold output OF the
United States is OF great magnitude, and
ought to be of sufficient Importance to
elicit attention.
The gold product of the United States
in 1894 was 1.910.813 ounces, fine, of the
value OF $39, 500 900, or Ill, ,490 ounces.
fine. valued at S3.545, 600, more than in
1888 The yield of gold from the mines
OF the United States in 1894 was the
largest since 1878, when it amounted to
SOL. 200, 600.
The annual output of gold from the
mines of the United States is susceptible
of very close approximation; for of all the
gold produced in the country in any year
part goes to private refneries, to be
there refined; part is deposited at the
mints and assay offices of the United
States, and part is exported in domestic
gold ores and in domestic copper and ar
gent'ferous matte for reduction abroad.
The sum of these several items, all of
which are accurately known, and of which
that OF the gold bars reported by private
refineries is by far the gre test, constitutes
the gold output of the country in the
year.
Besides this, there is another way in
which the gold product of the United
States in any year may be ascertained,
viz: by the disposition made of the do

A HEAVY DEFAUL TEA.
A Trusted Empioye of New York Bank
and $500, 900 Are Suddenly
MjSSiHq,

NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 14-Richard
ID. Wood, for the past six years assistant
cashier of the Metropolitan National Bank
Tin liquidation since 1881, is wanted on
the charge of appropriating $50 600 of the
banks funds.
He is also said to have used 5000 be-
longing to his father-in-law, John J. Law
renee; S16,000 belonging to his aunt, Mrs.
William Lawrence, and considerable
sum belonging to his cousin, Jack"
Hart, all OF Sparkill. N. Y. with whom he
was associated in the livery business.
1t is believed that when the full extent
OF Woods peculations become known
they will amount to sum in the neigh
borhood of 100000
1t was said that no trace of the man has
been found. but that the efforts to catch
him will be prosecuted with all possible
vigor.
When the bank failed in 1884 Wood was
paying teller, and subsequently acted as
assistant cashier in winding up its affairs.
He had exclusive charge of the banks
vaults and attended to all the outdoor
work. 1t is said he took advantage of
these facts to operate in the stock market,
and recently he always went on the wrong
side.
Three months ago Wood became ill.
Being unable to transact his business 1t
fell into the hands of his old friends in
the Office, men who looked upon Wood as
a brother. Then came discoveries that
opened their eyes. Once or twice Wood
succeeded IN getting down to the office,
but was too Ill to keep it up. One day
the vaults were opened, and then it was
learned that securities had disappeared.
Wood lived with his family in fair but
not snowy style at Piedmont.
Wood is about 55 years old and has a
wife and two sons and a daughter. He
had been forty-two years in the service of
the bank, beginning life in its employ as
an Office boy.

The value OF other minerals produced
in California is as great as the total OF gold
and silver, and all would be under the
general charge of the proposed Depart
ment of Mines.
A study of the general mineral produc-
tions of the United States, as shown by
reports of the Department of Mining
Statistics, shows that States not gener-
ally accounted as producing mineral
products are rich in such deposits, hence
nearly every section of the Unien would
reap benefits from the proposed depart
ment.
In 1893 the production OF pigiron for the
Omitted States amounted to 7,124, SOP tons,
and came from twenty-six States. promi-
nent among which were New York, Penn
syivania, illinois, Wisconsin. Maryland,
Alabama and Indiana. In the same year
the copper productions of the Lake Su-
perior region alone was nearly lis, ,000, 900
tons, that of the entire Union being
$50. 600, 600.
As it is proposed to have the bureau
take charge of coal as well as minerals it
is interesting to note that the production
OF coal for 1898 amounted to nearly l29,-
100000 tons.
The following table gives general idea
of the mineral products of the United
States, taken from the official statement
of the Geological SURVEY:

Necessarily the Secretary OF the Interior
will object 10 surrendering so much of his
jurisdiction to new officer. the Commits
sioner OF the Land Office will oppose it for
the same reason, while the geological sur
chveyors will hang tenaciously to so mu
OF the patronage and power as belongs to
them under the present regime.
To-day when miners go TO the various
departments with their claims they are
confronted with many obstacles. At the
outset they meet men who are ignorant
of the matters they come to consult about.
and they find those men preoccupied with
other affairs. The data. laws and rulings
of the department are in contradictory
and inconvenient condition, and it is often
found that there are so many delays as to
seriously EN- barrass business. 1t is for
these, among other reasons, that the Cali
fornia miners are now taking the aggres-
sive in the movement to have the Federal
Governm ment recognize their interests.
1t is the purpose of the miners to organ
ize at an early date and fight vigorously
for recognition in their business. 1t is
believed they will have the full concur
rnce of men in allied industries in every
State, and that something substantial may
be accomp pished in the next year.
One of the schemes proposed to facili-
tate the matter is to have delegation of
exper. mining men visit Washington and
lay their views before the proper COM
mittees of Congress, before the President
and others in authority. 1t is deemed i'm.
portant that there be the most thorough
possible cooperation in the matter.
