Injured by a wild Boar.

The citizens of Fowblesburg, in the upper
part of Baltimore county, have been terrorized
for several weeks bya vicious boar, which has
attacked a number of citizens. Jacob L.
Benson, prominent farmer of that place, is
in dangerous condition as the result of a
desperate fight with the ferocious animal on
Monday. He was attacked by the boar on
his farm, and attempted to drive it away with
clubs. The animal leaped at Mr. Benson,
seized him near the shoulder, and Jumped on
his PROSTATE form, savagely biting him sew
eral times and making terrible wounds and
tearing the flesh from his body. His loud
cries attracted the attention of several neigh
bors, who ran to Mr.. Bensons rescue with
axes, and drove the boar away. 1t was after
wards captured by means of lasso. and is
now securely confined. 1t has been viewed
by a large number of persons
Before attacking Mr.. Benson, the boar had
attacked a farmer who was riding by on horse
back. The farmer carried loaded whip in
his hand, and managed to keep the animal
away until he had urged his horse to run at
full gallop. Again and again the boar at
tempted to jump OH the horses back. Then
a wild race between the horse and boar took
place, and finally the latter was left far be-
hind. 1t was shortly after this that Mr. Ben
son had his terrible encounter with the animal.

Insult to Bryan.

At New Haven, Connecticut, on Thursday,
Mr.. Bryan was announced to speak. A stand
was provided and crowd of eight or ten
thousand gathered In the throng were
500 Yale students, and these gave the col
lege veil so vociferousy and often that it was
with great difficulty that Mr.. Bryan could
speak at all. In fact he did not make the
speech he intended, as he was so much inter
rupted by the students.
This outrageous conduct, this rowdyism,
this low and contemplate conduct, was by the
sons of wealth. They we're the sons of the
sham aristocracy of money, sons of men who
worship gold and look down upon the toilers
as class fit only TO work and too Ignorant TO
know their own interests They are the sons
of men who apply the name of ''outlaw' and
anarchist TO the supporters of Bryan and
Sewall, and speak of free riot. They are
the gentlemen, save the mark. and the Bryan
supporters are the iliterate aud raw Ameri
cans.
And the monopolistic and gold-bug press
had no word of protest, no word of censure.
Had crowd of students at a Southern college
interrupted Mckinley double-leaded columns
of denunciation would have filled the Gold
Bug press. They would have rung the
changes on plantation manners, ''the whip
of the slave driver and 'overbearing aristo
cracy.n Their silence means approval of the
conduct of the Yale students.
The gold standard today is beaten, and
the monopolistic press know it. Hanna
knows it and every money manipulation knows
and all means are being employed to turn the
tide. Employees of corporations are so in
undated that they are afraid to speak their
sentiments; banks are intimidating the mer
chants and traders. and Mark Hanna is col
lecting corruption fund the greatest ever
known-more stupenduous than the pious(?)
Wannamaker collected. Even subscription
Offices have been opened in England and
France to raise funds to purchase the votes of
our farmers and workingmen. To money
changers gold is everything, the one thing that
can accomplish any purpose. The money
power regards the farmer aud laborer as a
commodity, without mind, soul or manhood,
that can be bought.
If this estimate of them is not met with pro-
test; if this insult does not arouse the people
10 rise up in their might and overwhelm the
impudent, purse proud, money changing sham
aristocracy. they will deserve any oppression
and degradation that is heaped upon them.

Bryan in New Jersey.

On Wednesday Mr.. Bryan left Philadelphia,
where he had most enthusiastic reception
on Tuesday night, and went to Brooklyn,
New York. As he crossed New Jersey he
made nine speeches, varying in length from
two minutes to half an hour. Here are some
of his remarks:
The gold standard means half time in the
factories and double time on the farms.
If you ask me what the campaign song
ought to be this year, will tell you there is
no better than "Home, Sweet Home.
We find against us those who will contribute
literally to the corruption fund; we find those
with us who have no money to corrupt voters
with.
We have opposed to us every man who has
attempted to destroy labor organizations; we
have with us those who have aided labor to
better its condition.
If presidents of railroads will manipulate
voters before election, they will manipulate
men after election.
What is the use of opening the mills unless
you first make the people able to buy what
the mills produce?
Show me man who makes money out of
legislation and will show you man who
abuses the people when they want legislation
for themselves.
A financial system that commends itself TO
the wealthy only is curse to the land.
Show me man who has made money out
of unjust laws, and he will deny legislation
can be of benefit to anybody.

Big Ears of Corn.

GREAT NECK, L. l., Sept. Is. Some of the
farmers in this section are considering the use
of ladders in harvesting their corn, on account
of the remarkable height to which it has grown
this year. So far farmer William R. Grace
has carried off the honors. Three cornstocks
from his farm were tied to a railing at the
postofiice yesterday. The stalks were twenty
two feet high and had on them three ears Of
corn, each ofwhich was two feet long. Philip
Dyer has corn on his farm eighteen feet high,
with ears eighteen inches long, and other
farmers have stalks that are much above the
average height.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1896-09-26
Too Convincing.

No better evidence that Mr.. Bryan is pro-
ducing that profound impression that At
torney-G General Poe said he would create in
the East, than the rowdyism that characterized
the conduct of the Yale students at New
Haven, which prevented him from speaking.
His logic and facts are too convincing, and
he is revolutionizing public sentiment to too
great an extent to suit the money changers,
hence the attempt to drown his voice. This
attempt to still his tongue is a confession thai
he is carrying the people with him. 1t is a
confession that the gold standard cause is lost
unless Bryan's voice can be stilled.

People Who Used to Be Democrats.

Why is it that some Democrats or some
people who used to be Democrats spend the
day in telling how the election of the Chicago
ticket would ruin this country and then re-
fuse to cast their votes for the only man who
can defeat the Chicago nominee? Applause. ]
will tell you why. 1t is because they have
not the courage to bear the odium of being
Republicans. lGreat applause.
We are engaged in great struggle, one of
the greatest struggles in which the people of
this country were ever engaged in in a time
of peace. 1t is a struggle between Democra-
cy on the one side and plutocracy on the
other, and there is no middle ground for any
man to stand upon. Great applause They
who are not for us are against u.s. lCrIes Of

spect for them ifthey were honest enough to
go where they belong. [Applause. I'm.

From Mckinley to Bryan.
From Ellicott city Times, september 10.

From Ellicott City Times, september 10
1t has been known for some time that Mr..
Sebastian Brown, well-known in Howard
county, was in sympathy with the views of
William Jennings Bryan, and we are pleased
to note that he has consented to speak at
Lisbon on Saturday of this week, at o. clock
p. IN. Mr.. Brown, who has been one of the
staunchest Repu blicans of the State, will be
quite an accession to our list of speakers.
His reply the other day TO some of his old
political associates contains matter for rehec-
ton. When told that he should not now
stultify himself by going back on his party,
his answer was that few men who CHANGED
to get Office and wealth, Republicans and
Democrats by name, mot the people) had
already copied Civil Service from England.
Now they were endeavoring to copy her gold
standard, and the next step, unless halt be
called, viii be primogeniture and entailed es-
tates. TOO many vote, he added, ito be
bound with the shackles which our fathers
broke, but | won't.

False Prophesy.

Senator Cullom said in speech at Canton,
Ohio, that in the event of Bryan's election,
gold would either leave the country or be
hoarded-a contraction of $500, 900, 600 in the
currency of the country. Well, suppose it
did leave or be boarded, the reconciliation of
silver would add $500, 200, 900 of standard
money, net increase of 5000, 100000. But
gold will not leave nor be boarded. With
gold and silver as standard or redemption
money, and interchangeable, there will be no
profit in boarding gold, and our silver will be
worth as much abroad as our gold. Instead
of contraction. gold, that is now boarded, viii
flow into circulation, and the volume of money
will be increased

What kind of Cleveland, or Tariff Reform
Democrat must the fellow be who was against
the Mckinley Bill and turns around and votes
for Bill Mckinley? How can the Cleveland
men vote for Mckinley when he voted, him
self, for the Silver Bill? How can men who
raised money for silver-set for Senator Cor
man sustain Mckinley who voted for the
Force Bill? Let the Maryland Gold Men
of Baltimore answer? The defeat of the
Force Bill was worth its weight in a gold-set,
vet it was the silver-men, in the Senate, that
aided German in its defeat, and, hence the
silver-set Silver beat that bill and next No
vember it will beat both the gold standard
and Bill Mckinley.

Republican orators and the Gold. Bug press
make the ''terrible condition of Mexico the
burden of their arguments for the single gold
standard. If the condition is so bad in the
silver republic south of us, why do not Mexi-
cans come to the United States and grow
prosperous? The fact is Mexico is more
prosperous than the United States, and in
proof of it we offer the report of United
States Consul Crittenden, printed on the 1st
page of this issue.

The city Of Kobe, Japan, was wiped out by

Every gold standard country must
have silver currency. This is not
doubted. When the United States
adopts bimetallism and will coin
silver at the ratio to gold of l6 to l,
or mt $1.29 per ounce for silver,
SI.29 an ounce will be the wOrld's
price, for no one will sell silver to
England, France or Germany or
any other country for less than the
coinage value in the United States.
This explOdes the 5O-cent silver
dollar fallacy.

John X. Cowen says that Bryan's election
would bankrupt every railroad in the country.
We would like Mr. Cowen to name just one
railroad in the country that is solvent. His
road is in the hands of receivers, and many
others. and not one is solvent. Ind ,re hdre
had the single gold standard far t'centy-three

cal humbug of the country. He made free
