NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICkET
For President of the United States,
WILLIAM T1CKINLEY,
CARROTS Choice.

The Republican county conven-
ton yesterday endorsed Senator
Robert A. Ravenscroft for Congress.
Senator Rayenscroft is well known
throughout this and adjoining
counties. In 1898 he was elected
to the Senate Of Maryland from
Garrett county, and during the
past two sessions made a record
there which was a credit not only
to himself but to his constituents as
well. His work in securing extra
appropriations for the schools of
Garrett county is we'll known and
commends him to the favorable
consideration of our people. By
his efforts in that direction he
obtained more than $4,000. He
was a strong advocate of the bill for
the election of the inspector of
mines by popular vote and strongly
opposed the creation of company
stores in connection with mines.
He was also instrumental in hav-
ing passed the bill for the creation
of the position of weighmaster at
the mi mes as an additional protec-
ton to this class of labor. BY his
work in this connection he is strong
with the miners and the laboring
classes.
His Republicanism is above re-
proach and his public reputation is
as bright and pure as his private
life. He is strong believer in the
principles of the Republican party
as enunciated in the st. Louis
platform.
Garrett county has never had d
candidate for Congress and it is
about time that the other counties
in the district should recognize her
claims and honor her chosen son
with the nomination. We believe
that the time has come for the Re-
publicans of Garrett county to
stand firmly by their county's
choice and insist upon the nomina
ton coming here.

BRYAN as a Boiler.

Those sticklers for "regularity"
in the Democratic party who insist
that they are bound by the action
of the Chicago Convention, although
it abjured Democracy in its plat
form and nominated Populist for
President, will get no credit for their
establishment from Mr.. Bryan him
self. He has boldly declared that
he Is not a Democrat, In a letter
written to George NJ. Garden, of
Dallas, Tex, February Is, 1896, he
strongly defends the right to bolt
and to oppose obnoxious policies
and candidates. This is al extract
from the letter:
As early as 1898, when the Demo
cratic State Convention of
Nebraska, controlled by candidates
for the Federal offices, Endorsed the
Presidents financial policy | stated
that [ would not follow the Demo
cratic party to gold standard.
Directed by my conscience and by
my best judgment | shall use that
vote to defend my rights, protect
my family, and advance the welfare
of society. No convention can rot
me of my convictions, nor can any
party organization drive me to con-
spire against the prosperity and lib.
erty of my country.
Men who honestly differ upon the
paramount public questions cannot
afford to be harmonized by a Ma,
tional Convention. Mr., CLEVELAND
would not support the free silver
candidate for the Presidency, and
he should not do so if he really be-
lieves that free coinage would ruin
the country, because mans duty
to his country is higher than his
party. W. j. BRYAN.
Mr.. Bryan repudiates "regu-
larity' for himself. and neither he
nor his friends can complain If the
Sound Money Democrats in the
United Statss shall initiate his ex-
ample.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Third Ticket.

Mr.. Cleveland and the Third Ticket.
Washington Correspondence New York
Evening Post.
Strenuous efforts are made here
by the silver men of all parties to
play upon the prejudices of anti
administration Democrats by indus
triouslY circulating the report that
President Cleveland will send to
the indianapolis convention let
ter expressing his disapproval of the
third ticket movement. Your cor
respondent has the very best author
ity for discrediting this report, and
for placing the responsibility of it
where it belongs-upon the shout
ders of politicians who ale seeking
further to excite the animosity of
strong partisans of the Chicago
ticket against the President ana
make the soundmoney movement
still more unpopular among them.
The scheme is to represent the presi-
dent-and in his person the whole
administration circle-as forsaking
utterly the party of their earlier
years and becoming Republicans,
thus confirming the charges which
the enemies of the administration
have been making against all it's
members ever since the 4th of
M arch, 1898.
So far from writing a letter dis
couraging the third ticket move
ment, there. is excellent reason for
saying that Mr.. Cleveland will take
an early opportunity of expressing
his approval of that movement and
of pronouncing it the only refuge
of persons who believe in the prin-
ciples of the Democratic party as
distinguished from any plan or fac
ton which has gone masquerading
in its name.
No occasion has thus far pre-
sented itself which would naturally
call forth any expression from the
President. His silence has not
been satisfactory to some of the
more impatient members of the Ma

MARROW of the Whole Matter"

marrow OF the Whole Matter"
The silverites propose to "raise
prices" by reducing the value
and the purchasing power of the
dollar. Mr.. Cochran asks work
ingmen, wage-earners, salarled
clerks, teachers and the like the
homely question; "Where do you
come in' in programme of this
character?
If all prices are raised in equal
proportion-those of labor as we'll
as those of commodities-nobody is
benefited, because nobody's
status is changed. But if the
price of commodities is raised
while the wages of labor remain
stationary, or nearly so. the wage
Garner of every class is robbed to
enrich the farmer and the manu-
facturer.
The Government cannot create
wealth. No act of Government
can increase by one penny's worth
the aggregate of property IN exis-
tence. If, therefore, any act of
Government enriches any man, it
must do so by robbing some other
man. When free coinage is proposed
as means of raising the price of
commodities, it is proposed to take
from the wage-earners of the country
certain part of their earnings
and give it to another class. That
is the simple Obvious fact and Mr..
Cochran makes a powerful appeal
when he asks the wage and salary
earning people of New York what
they think of the proposal.
This is the marrow of the whole
matter. The proposal of free and
unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, with
out the concurrence of other ma
tions is a proposal so rob every
salaried person, every wage-earner,
every pensioner, every savings-bank
depositor or other small investor,
of one-half his income, and to give
the proceeds of the robbery to a
favored class in return for votes.

they were in demand to satisfy ex-

but l do say that, as under such
conditions, all existing contracts
would soon be cancelled and no new
ones created, except upon the basis
of the natural exchangeable value

to be in demand, and, possessing
themselves only the value of dough
nuts, they would sink back to their
natural doughnut, value they would

Knlckerbocker Fiat Money.

Readers of Washington Irving's
"Khickerbocker History of New
York. will remember that on one
occasion Governor Kleft, otherwise
known as William the Testy. con-
ceived and put into execution a
grand scheme of providing the peo-
pie with plenty of cheap money.
He had noticed that the Indians
used a circulating medium of wam-
pun. Why not put their ideas into
execution on a large scale? Wam-
pun was merely strings of beads
made from CLAIMS, periwinkles and
other shell fish. These had formed
native currency among the In
dians, who were content to take
them of the Dutchmen in exchange
for peltries. In an unlucky mo-
ment, William the Testy, seeing
this money of easy production, con
ceived the project of making it the
current coin of the province.
He began by paying all the SER
wants of the company, and all the
debts of government, in strings of
wampum. He sent emissaries to
sweep the shores of Long Island,
which was the Ophir of this modern
Solomon, and abounded in shell
fish. These were transported in
loads to New Amsterdam, coined
into Indian money and launched into
circulation. For time affairs went
on swimmingly; money became
plentiful, and to use the popular
phrase, ga wonderful Impulse was
given to public prosperity"
Yankee traders poured into the
colony. buying everything they
could lay their hands on, and pay
ing the worthy Dutchman their own
price-in Indian money. If the
latter, however, attempted to pay
Yankees in the same coin for their
tinware and wooden bowls, the case
was altered; nothing would do but
Dutch guilders and such like "me-
tallic currency" What was worse,
the Yankee introduced an inferior
kind of wampum, made of oyster
shells, with which they deluged the
province, carrying off in exchange
all the gold and silver, the Dutch
herrings and Dutch cheeses; thus
early did the knowing men of the
East manifest their skill in bar
gaining the New Amsterdamers out
of the oysters and leaving them the
shell.
AS the apostle of cheap money,
William the Testy is now succeeded
by William the Windy, who wishes
to substitute silver for wampum,
with the same general results.

tional Democracy, who seem to
think that it is the Presidents bust
ness to publish his views on all
questions as soon as they arise.
The absurdity of expecting him to
recommend a ticket and platform
which haye not yet been put in evil
dence is almost equal to that of as
Stunning that he will condemn the
only Democratic enterprise which
the Presidential year has witnessed.
Only two weeks remain before
the gathering of the Indianapolis
Convention, and it is believed that
no great harm can result from wait
ing that long for the Presidents
announcement of his position.
Nothing would delight his enemies
more than to draw him into a
permanent utterance, which they
could pick up and dissect in
such q manner as to put Mr..
Cleveland IN a false light before a
large element of the party who still
stand staunchly by him personally,

The Danger of Independent Free

The Danger or independent Ffee
Silver Coinage
Probably Professor Edward Suess
of Austria, noted as a statesman
and scientist, stands at the front
among the Delivers in bimetalism.
He sturdily maintains that the out
put Of gold must steadily decrease,
and, fnally, that the supply will
be exhausted. From this basis Of
belief he insists upon the necessity
of the use Of silver as a money
metal. But Professor Suess does
not believe that the adoption of
free silver coinage in the United
States at the ratio Of 16 to 1
would restore silver to a correspond
ing value. He says in a late let
ter to DR.. G. A. White, of the
Smithsonian Institution.
Replying briefly to your inquiry
as to what, in my opinion, would
be the result if your Government
should Independently adopt the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio
of 10 to l, i may say that you would
simply lose all your gold and then
be obliged to buy IN England all
the gold necessary to meet your
Obligations in foreign countries,
etc. No country is strong enough
alone to take such a step; and if
taken by your country it must lead
to financial, and perhaps an in
dustrial, crisis.
Should your Government decide
upon the free coinage of silyer-the
decentralization of gold-thus go
ing with China, you would divide
the financial world in half and in
fict severe damage upon human
civilization in general.
Your Government surely ought to
wait and take some intermediate
course, such as the coinage of a
limited amount of silver annually,
but not so much as in former years.
Above all, it is impossible for you
to sustain an issue of notes paya-
BILE in gold without maintaining a
gold standard.
am sorry that just now | have
not time to put my ideas concern
ing your national monetary affairs
into "a more elaborate form. | may
however, add an expression of my
fear that in your country politics
enters too largely into the consid-
Grafton of this highly important,
but.purely econmic question.
The opinion of this learned and
careful man will have weight with
all serious students of finance and
with every person who seeks to
govern his action upon the silver
question by the best attainable
knowledge.

Free Silver Campaign Funds.

The head of a Pittsburgh bank
ing firm throws some light on the
methods adopted by the free-silver
Democrats for raising the sinews
of war for the present campaign.
Two men, natives of Switzerland
who propose spending several
months abroad, applied to the
banker for letters of credit. 1t
came out that they are Montana
silver miners, and one of them
stated that last month every miner
in the State from the highest to
the lowest, was forced to contribute
the equivalent of one days wages
or salary to the freesiIver campaign
fund. 1t was inferred that if this
assessment was found inadequate,
others would be levied until the
day of election. This statement
will tend to dissipate those which
