M1N1Ne5 "a JOURNAL
FROSTBURG, MD. NOVEMBER IA, 1896
Hugging DeluSion.


One of the silly explanations of the
defeat of"free coinage and free riot is
that of coercion" etc.
The Cumberland Times, for instance,
concludes an article based on one OF
Jones deliverances as follows:
On an honest fair and square vote without
deception, bribery or coercion free coinage
will win and did win. The people want it
and they will have it, if the people cannot be
fooled all the time, and Lincoln said they
couldn't.
The JOURNAL heard something like
that in advance. If the Consolida-
ton coal company :" "V the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroad com
pany," and IF the B. and 0. will keep
their hands Off" Bryan was to run
away with everything-boots, bag and
baggage.
Concerning the vote of B. and o.
employees the JOURNAL cannot speak,
but the returns show that in Frost
burg, where large body of Consolida-
ton and Union men vote, Bryan got
about % more republican votes than
democratic votes lost, and he won
pluralites at all of the polls where
Consolidation and C.. and P. men pre-
dominate, as follows:
Mt. Savage ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

Ocean. .......'. .........'...'.. ...'''''''
Eckhart.. .............. ...'..''..'.if
The JOURNAL heard no IFS" about
other companies, but it is certain that
if coercion" had been the word all
along the line-had been eXerted and
proven effective, the Times would not
have known that Bryan was running
in this coal region.
In the five other districts where he
won there was presumably no SEQ
ercion'' whatever, yet he got only 3
votes more there than in the six 'sus-
poets. '-
1t is plain, therefore, that if there
was no more coercion elsewhere in
the country than here, free coinage not
only did not win, but it cannot win.
The people don't want it and wont
have it.
That is all there is about it-except
this 5:
Mr.. Lincoln was not talking coinage
free or otherwise, when he said ''the
people can't be fooled all the time"

Take the tariff off.-Cumberland Times
That wont do.
Taking the tariff off will raise the
price of coal to every consumer south
of New York.
For we have got to recoup, partially
at least, loss of New England trade by
increased prices to those whom free
coal cannot possibly benefit.
Let the tariff stay.
And don't daily with the dangerous
proposal called "reclprociiy," Il free
trade thief who will rob when and
wherever protection" is not looking.

"A Big Time.

The republicans of the town have
laid out for a grand celebration of
their triumph this Saturday evening.
With little time at their disposal, they
expect. however, to make big dis
play. ga grand parade and illumlna-
ton" are among the features. The
personal "eminencies" of the party
State and county, are invited and most
all of them will be present.

Free Coinage Will Never Win.

"The cohesive power of public
plumber may hold the free coinage
elements together four years, but we
doubt 1t.
Meanwhile. il necessary, the republi-
can party will go into the next cam
paign against free coinage with the
fable of high protection left out.
If 1t will not do this, sound money
democrats will have to continue bear
ing the less oppressive of the two most
pronounced economical fctions of
modern times.

BE Careful About What You Shout.

Gentlemen, be careful about what
you are doing when shouting "recipro-
CITY,"
Tariff for revenue only comprises
every particle of reciprocity" this
country needs, but reciprocity"
which must be sandwiched with pro-
lection is dangerous association for
protection.
Already we hear of a Canadian ad-
vance for reciprocity" and one of
the things middle Canada wants is
free coal, also reciprocally wanted by
the coal interests of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, etc.
This will exactly suit New England,
too, a tier of States, no matter what
Mr.. Reed may say, that want Nova
Scotia coal free of duty!
1t will be right in the hands, too, of
the New York and New Jersey con-
sumers who suffer from anthracite
extortion, and who want no better club
than RECIPROCITY" to beat down what
they call unlawful combinations"
the worst result of which is-the blame
less combinations go down with them.
If, therefore, there is any protection
in the tariff on coal, RECIPROCITY" is,
of all arrangements, the Gerry one this
region doesn't ,cant.
Take the JOURNALS word for it
RECIPROCITY" is far more imminent
peril than free trade.

Mistaken PrOrramme.

The professional labor and lily
white farming forces are hard at work
getting ready to live at each others
expense.
Both want free coinage, but the
latter, in session at Indianapolis, Ind,

A slick move, that.
On the other hand. j. II. Sovereign
urges that the campaign for free silver
be continued duling the next four

Mr.. Sovereign is too radical, and
wants more reform work for the Noble
Order of North America than that

there is such disease known as
kleptomania for professional labor.

The first duty of the Mckinley government
is to provide enough revenues to pay ex-
penses.-B Herald.
Not bit of it.
1.-The first duty of the Mckinley
government" is to reduce expenses.
1t will then be time enough to see
about the revenues.
The merchant, for instance, who
first puts on his goods enough profit to
pay extravagant expenses is paving
the road which leads him out of bust
ness into insolvency.
The government, which is the agent
of the people in more intimate re-
lation than the merchant is of his Gus
toners, should do better by its princi-
pals than the merchant is compelled to
do by his customers.
1t should ascertain its lowest living
cost, adjust its income accordingly,
and then live within it.

A Funny Wheel.

If the republican party of the
Georges Creek coal region wants to
see some instructive figures the returns
Of the late election furnish them.
For instance, of the plurality for

tricts furnished l, 439 the balance of
the county III.
OF the plurality for Mcdonald, 1913,
the coal region districts provided

section which wins for party near
ly 81 per cent. of its glory ought to have
about that ratio of its patronage.
But the levy list does not pan ont
that way.
Moreover, in party management,
gentlemen, the hub of your wheel is
located at point at least 10 miles
outside of the rim.
Something to Remember.
A big mistake is made by the people
who are just now enthusing.
They are forgetting that the leading

that it grew up under the stimulus of
the Sherman Act; that it endowed
with undeserved statehood all the

as brides for perpetual loyalty to the
