Mckinley Promises.

Vow what we want to do in this country is "a
restore n policy that will encourage American de
yelopment. American manufacturing and give work
to American workingmen.
That is what Mckinley said to crowd OF
Republicans from Allegany county, this state,
who went TO Canton to see him on free passes
or very low excursion rates made by the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad Company, of which
the Hon. John X. Cowen is president and
receiver A railroad in the hands of re-
ceiver ought TO be in favor of better manage
meni rather than waste It's substance in carry.
ing people to Ohio to see a man who believes
that people can be benefited by being taxed.
What Mr.. Mckinley means is a restoration
of Mckinley tariff taxation, that resulted not
in the encouragement of American develop
ment but in the closing of American mills and
a deficiency OF money in the treasury at Wash
ington.
Upon the currency question Mr.. Mckinley
proposes to pursue the policy of the present
Administration, that has resulted in the issu-
ance of s262, OOO, 900 in government bonds
and the increase of the public debt 10 that
extent.
Except higher taxation Mr.. Mckinley
promises nothing.

Great Floods in Siberia.

TACOMA, Wash, Oct. l2.-Late Siberian
papers received by the Oriental liner Tacoma
repot great floods in Siberia by which thou
sands have been rendered homeless and desti.
tute. The Siphoon, Moor, Santachasa and
Inman rivers are all out of their banks and
the plains for hundreds of miles are covered
by great lake, the water in some cases being
twenty-six feet deep. The Siberian Railway
has been flooded for distance of 40 versts
from Inman, the terminus of the road, and
many large washouts elsewhere are reported.
Telegraphic communication with Vladivostock
was interrupted for several days. Grain crops,
which were being harvested, were all destroy
ed, together with farm buildings. Thousands
of cattle were drowned. Meagre reports con-
tain information of heavy loss of life, but
owing to interrupted communication details
are not yet at hand. The Governor of Vladi-
vostock has despatched several companies of
soldiers with steam launches and lifeboats to
the scene of the disaster to assist in rescue
work.
Great distress and famine will undoubtedly
be caused in the agricultural districts. The
Government is doing all in its power to assist
the sufferers, but, owing to the topography of
the country, vast amount of distress will re-
suit before the isolated districts can be
reached. The Siberian papers call for sub
scrptions in aid of the sufferers. The season
has been exceptionally wet and the crops
were materially damaged by the rain.

McK1NLEY's CAUSE HOPELESS.
Mark Hanna Admits the Defeat of
Mckinley to Several Prominent
Gentlemen.

The following dispatch was published in the
earlier editions of the Philadelphia Record,
of October 8, but suppressed in the later
edition. Comment is unnecessary.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. 6. -According to the
official bulletin from Democratic headquarters
Mark Hanna has admitted that McKinley's
cause is hopeless.
SIN private conversation held at the Lex
ington Hotel, Chicago. a day or two before
going to New York, (" the bulletin says, "Mark
Hanna made these remarks: McKinley's
chances are exceedingly doubtful. 1t is no
use denying that we have lost the Labor vote.
Debs and his following have led the labor
vote to Bryan, while the Farmers are all crazy
on Free Silver. | am afraid Mckinley will
not win.
ssThese statements were made by Mark
Hanna in the presence of two or three gentle
men whose names are known at the National
Democratic headquarters, and one of them
gave out the information and his reputation
for veraeity cannot be impeached.
The Democratic managers also declare that
the most conservative Democratic estimates
give the free silver forces large working
majority in the next House OF Representatives,
while the present free silver majority in the
United States Senate will be increased.

The gold in gold dollar will buy more thar
twice as much.
When the volume Of currency is decreased,
prices fall; when it is increased, prices rise.
This is a law that all writers upon finance recog
nize. When silver was denied free mintage
the volume of currency was cut down one
half and we have seen the value of farms and
farm products fall one-half
We are on a gold basis. and there is not a
sufficient amount of gold for the business Of
the country. McKinley's platform admits
this, but believes the United States cannotre-
lieve the situation without the aid Of Europe.
Mr.. Bryan's platform says there is moi
enough gold to base a sufficient volume Of
currency upon, and proposes to make silver q
basic money, and declares we can do it with
out waiting for the consent of Europe to al
low us to regulate our own affairs.
Bismarck, the great German statesman, says
bimetallism should prevail and there is grow
ing sentiment in Europe fora return to it, and
that if the United States leads he has no doubt
our action would have great influence upon the
nations of Europe.
There is one thing certain, England will
never consent to bimetallism by international
agreement, and if she does not neither will
Frsnee nor Germany But if the United
States takes the lead there can he no doubt
Europe will have to follow.
There is another thing that is certain-when
the United States adopts free coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of l6 to !, and coins sill
yer at the value of sl.29 an ounce, sl.29 an
ounce will be the worlds price. and silver
will be worth that much the world over.
Mckinley, virtually, proposes no change.
If he is elected falling prices will continue,
and forty cent wheat and eorrespondingly low
prices for other farm products may be ex-
pected.
Mr.. Bryan proposes to restore silver as
basic money, double the volume of currency
and consequently raise prices.
In 1873 mortgages were scarcely known
in Carroll. The mortgage debts now amount
to about $4.OOO,OOO. If these debts are TO be
paid there must he change in our financial
system.
Farmers of Carroll, you will soon be called
upon to vote upon this question. Remember
that Mckinley promises no change from the
present financial condition: Bryan does.
All legislation for the past thirty wears has
tended TO fleece the farmer for the benefit of
Others.
If Bryan is elected legislation viii be en-
acted that will help the farmer well as other
citizens.

Every gold standard country must
have silver currency. This is not
doubted. When the United states
adopts bimetaIlism and will coin
silver at the ratio to gold of l6 Ia l.,
or at $1.29 per ounce for silver,
S1.29 an ounce will be the worlds
price, for no one will sell silver to
England, France or Germany or
any other country for less than the
coinage value i'm the United States.
This explOdes the 5O-cent silver
dollar faliacy.

cobb's Island Washed Away.

CARE CHARLES, Va, Oct. ia special
messenger from Cobb's Island this afternoon
brought information that the island was en-
tirely submerged yesterday at high tide. The
hotel was demolished and partly washed to
sea. All the buildings on the island save
three were demolished or washed away. The
only buildings remaining are the life-saving
station, cottage belonging to Mr.. Ashby
Jones, of Richmond, Va, and cottage be-
longing to Thomas Smith. The latter was
built by Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New
York, about three years ago. The beach has
washed SO that an ordinary tide now washes
over the island. Nearly all of the inhabitants
of the island have left. No lives lost. Cobb's
Island has been famous summer resort for
forty years. Nothing as yet has been heard
from Hog Island, where it is feared serious
damage has been done.

Killed a Woman for a quarter

In Abbeville, S. c., Wednesday, white
boy killed negro woman under circumstances
that startled the whole community. The facts
are as follows Matte Hellman, eolored
woman of middle age, owed Milledge Malone,
thirteen year.old white boy, a quarter.
Malone called at the woman's house with a
gun on his shoulder and demanded payment.
She said she had no money: He replied that
if the quarter was not produced he would
kill her. The woman, without suspecting his
earnestness, said no would have to kill, then.
Malone instantly leveled his gun and sent the
contents of both barrels through the woman $
head. He claims that he only intended to
frighten her and that the shooting was acct.
dental, but witnesses say 1t was a case al
deliberate murder. The boy is in jail.

viii probably prove fatal were last night fred
into the side and the thigh of Constable Ira S.
Brindle, of Lehmaster, while he was bringing
his partially shackled prisoner, Harry NJ.
Ommert, thief, from Maryland to this place
in a buggy. 0mmert, who was excellently
connected before his recent imprisonment in
Huntingdon Reformatory, was lifelong
friend of Brinde, and the latter failed to search
him when the arrest was made.
With his single free hand, while they were
driving to town, 0mmert, with quick move
ment, presented a pistol at Brindle's breast.
Brindle struck the revolver Just as it was dis
charged, the bullet entering his side. Ommert
then fred q second shot, the ball entering the
Constabls's thigh.
A scufile ensued, and both men fell from
the buggy. The firing attracted the neigh.
bors, who ran to the scene. Rrindle was sent
home, and 0mmert was brought here TO jail,

No Reason to Change.

When Mr.. Bryan was nominated in July
last the ADVOCATE said that be would carry
every state west of the Ohio river and south
of Mason and Dixon's line.
We see no reason to change that opinion,
and we believe that were the election few
months further off several of the eastern
states would go for Mr.. Bryan also.

looked into the question of bimetallism that
has not embraced it, and thousands of Repub-
licans are with US this year.
