Democratic Meeting at Kemp Hall.

Saturday ..nightl,the Central Bryan
meeting at it's rooms, corner of Market
and Church streets, and several speak
ers entertained the audience until al
most ten o'clock. The first speaker
was that staunch Republican advocate
and supporter of free silver, Professor
Cyrus Thomas, whose condemnation
of the inconsistencies OF the gold stand
ara won the close attention of the au-
dience for over an hour. With rare
wit and sarcasm Professor Thomas
pierced one after another of the gilded
blanks of the Republican platform,
and finished with scathing denuncia-
ton of the vain attempt made by the
sound money Democrats to shield their
ultimate intention to vote for Mck1n-
lev. John Francis Smith was next in
trOduced and refuted many of the false
and unfounded charges of anarchy and
socialism which had been laid by
members of the Republican party
against the Democratic platform. and
censured the partisan preachers whose
utterances from the pulpit on political
matters should be treated with no more
weight than the advice of an ordinary
layman, "since they have nothing of
politics but the passions they excite. !"
Mr. John Wood dwelt with special en-
phasis upon the relation of the demon
citation or silver to the attendant hard
times and distress, and made an elo-
ouent appeal for a return of the money
of our fathers, closing with bri liant
picture of the plenty and prosperity
that would follow so closely in the
wake of the silver advocates election.

The talk about the criticism of the
Supreme Court in the Chicago platform.
That has been done before.
What class of men, as they rank to-
day, criticised that court after the bred
Scott DE- cision?
Read the following criticims of to.
day-not from red eyed socialists, but
from four of the judges of the United
States Supreme Court, who sat in judg-
ment on the income tax case, and who
in their dissenting opinions used the
following words;
Justice Harlan:-"I have a deep,
abiding conviction, which my sense of
duty cOmpels me to express, that it is
not possible for this court to have rem
dered any judgment more to be regret
Ell than the one just rendered.
I'm my judgment-to say nothing of
the disregard of the former adjudican
tiOns of this court, and of the settled
practice of the gOvernment-thisd eci-
sion may well excite the greatest APP
prehensions. 1t strikes at the very
foundation of national authority.
But this is not all. The decision now
made may provoke a contest in this
country from which the American peo-
pie would have been spared if the court
had not overthrown its former deci-
siOns. ). And it is now the law, as
this day declared, that. . . Congress
cannot tax the income, etc. . While
it may compel the merchant, the arti-
san, the workman to contribute Of
rectly from their earnings . for the
support of the government. . Such
result Is to be deeply deplored. 1t
cannot be regarded otherwise than as
disaster to the country. :. The prac-
tical effect of the decision to- day is to
give to certain kinds of property posi-
ton of favoritism and advantage in
consistent with the fundamental prin-
ciples of our social organization, and to
invest them with a power and infiu-
ence that may be perilous to that por-
ton of the American people upon
whom rests the larger part of the bur-
dens Of the government, and who
ought not to be subject to the domin-
ion of aggregated wealth. :" JUS
tice Brown says: LAS cannot escape
the conviction that the decision in this
case is fraught with unreasonable dam
ger to the future of the country, and
that it approaches national calamity,
feel it duty to enter my protest
against it."
Justice Jackson: "Considered in all
its bearings, this decision is, in my
opinion, the most disastrous blow ever
struck at the constitutional power of
Congress"
Justice Whine: ITO say a thing can
only be done in way which must nec-
essarily bring about the grossest wrong,
is to delusively admit the existence of
the power, while substantially denying
it. And the grievous results sure to
follow from any attempt to follow such
a system are so obvious to my mind
that the red spectre of revolution
would shake our institutions to their
foundations

FALSE REPORT.
That Hay Burning Rumor and the
Truth of the Matter.

We have only a few words to say in
connection with that little hay burning
incident and the Lakeland Bryan and
Sewall Club, which was so widely cir
culated and created such a Juror in
political circles in this and other coun-
ties. In the first place the whole af-
fair is either deliberate fabrication or
mean campaign dodge. We have
taken pains to thoroughly investigate
the matter, and from responsible
sources obtained the information that
there was no truth in the story what
ever. 1t will be remembered that a
few days ago rumOr was circulated
that the Lakeland Bryan and Sewall
Club, which has been on a
tour of Montgomery and Fred
erick Counties in the interest of
the silver cause, while on its
way from Clarksburg to Hyattstown.
Montgomery county, passed farmer
named John Grimes, who lives in
Clarksburg. on the road with load of
hay. Some of the crowd gave shout
for Bryan, and the farmer gave a
whoop for Mckinley. The report says
that one of the members of the club
struck a match and applied it to the
hay with the result that it was totally
destroyed, together with the wagon.
An account of this terrible deed of
anarchy v as quickly published in the
Baltimore papers and much indigna-
ton expressed. The papers stated that
hn als orrocfoA anh would
be heavily fined.
The truth of the matter is as follows,
as told CITIZEN representative by
well-known and representative resi-
dent of Hyattstown:
The Lakeland Club, after finishing
an engagement at Clarksburg, and be-
ing advertised to reach Hyattstown at
a certain hour, found they were late
and hurried their we'll played horses
along at a lively rate. About two miles
out from Clarksburg they passed q
farmer on a load of hay and some one
cheered for Bryan. The man on the
hay rose up and shouted in return for
Mckinley. This happened while the
teams were passing each other at q
rapid rate, aud it would have been
simply impossible for any one to have
lighted a match and iguited the hay
in that short space OF time. A short
! distance up the road they noticed the
! hay on fire. Mr.. Grimes got out a
warrant for the men, it is true, but no
one in HyattstOwn would serve 1T. The
members of the club were indignant at
the charge and one of the speakers de-
MED the allegation as base Islander
gotten up for political effect. Some of
the club were willing to swear that
Grimes was smoking a pipe at the
| time he arose to yell for Mckinley and
there is no doubt but that the sparks
fell on the hay and set it afire.
Our informant goes on to say that
the members of the Lakeland Club
were gentlemen in every respect; sober,
intelligent aud far above such
| an accusation. They have made a
good impression wherever they have
appeared and no one can say ought
against them.

SOURCES OF MONEY SUPPLY.
Gold Mines Owned by Br1tons, to
the Detriment of American
Producers.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The best source of money is the
mines. When they are in full opera
ton whatever of gold and silver is
taken out and coined into money is
like a pure creation added to the vol
ume of wealth in the world This kind
of property. when coined into money,
quickens all other business; it is the
possibility of greater enterprise,
larger hope and confidence, a kind of
immortal property. When there is
steady volume of gold and silver coin
coming out of the mints, made from
bullion dug from the earth, every
branch OF business is strengthened;
therefore to open the minis of our
country to the free coinage of both gold
and silver is to help every branch of
business, the farmer, the lumberman,
the iron and cOal merchant, the dry
goods manufactures, the laboring man,
and in short, every person who needs
money.
ANY one who Will look carefully into
the money question will find that 80
per cent of the gold mines of the world
are owned by the English and other
Europeans. The owners are long
headed; they know that the great stores
of wealth are in the mines; hence they
IOdCH Oul dlIcI pIOuuClIlS LulucS, anu
especially gold mines. Having made
gold the only standard money, having
increased It's value more than so per
cent, they naturally turn to get con-
troi of the gold mines of the world, and
they have it. They bring the gold to
their own minis, they coin 1t into
money free, then they have that
mouey with which to buy our bonds
and to buy our products whenever it Is
for their interest to buy them.
When England can get our silver
cheap she can take it to China, Japan,
and India and get their products in
exchange for this cheap silver, for sill
yer to-day buys the same in India and
China that it has done for many years,
hence the cheaper silver is the greater
advantage it is for England in her i'm
mense Oriental trade. If our mints
were opened to the free coinage of sill
yer, then all of our silver which Eng
land would get she would have to pay
for at the rate of 81 20 per ounce.
Every owner of silver bullion would
certainly take it to the mint and let it
be coined into dollars rather than sell
it to England for anything less. This
would be great help to our producers
of cotton and cereals, besides adding
constantly to the volume of our money
of final redemption, which would be of
great advantage to all the business in
terests of our country.
