THE RISING SUN MEETING.

We earnestly urge every voter in this
county. whatever his past or present party
utilization, who desires to hear an argumen-
tative and able discussion of the currency
question to attend the Risingsun meeting
on "Wednesday next. There may be and
doubtless are, men in both political parties
in the county, who have confused ideas on
the currency question, and they being
honest men, want the best light and the
best available information on the subject.
They have read both sides of the issue, and
have read much they do not understand
They seek the truth, pointedly and plainl y
put by men who have carefully studied
financial questions, and knowing what
they talk about, can not only entertain but
instruct their hearers. 1t will be worth ali
it costs in time and money to 90 to the
Risingsun, to hear Judge Tourgee alone, to
say nothing Of the array Of other able and
prominent gentlemen who will address the
meeting. Besides, the assemblage at the
Sun on Wednesday, will in all reasonable
probability be the largest meeting of the
campaign in Cecil 1t will in size and
enthusiasm rival if it does not excel the biz
Harrison Rally held there in the campaign
of 1889. Moreover the sound money mel
of the Sixth and adjoining districts are
making an earnest and spirit campaign
against the free silver heresy, and they
dom intend that the voters of those sec
tons of the county, shall be misled by the
specious and demagogsh appeals that free
silver orators and writer's are making tc
them.

Farmers of Cecil Harness up your
family carriages, take day off, and drive
to the big sound money meeting at Rising
sun, on Wednesday next.
Don't 60 alone, take the family with
you, and the family lunch basket, and
spend the day there. You will not only
enjoy the entertainment, but what is more
important, you will gain information from
men who will address you and who are
qualified to speak to you.
Go to the meeting, whatever your views
on the silver question. This is a country
of free speech, and of free thought expressed
in decorous words. The currency issue is
an immensely important one to you as a
class, and you should avail yourself of Sc
excellent an opportunity to hear the ques-
ton of gold and silver discussed by able
speakers from high and patriotic stand

WHAT A VOTE FOR VIM. 3
BAKER MEANS

The absorbing public interest that neces-
sarly centers in the national contest for
the Presidency, in some measure at least,
is calculated to obscure the Importance of
the Congressional elections, and subordi
nate them in popular interest to the Presi-
dental contest.
A moments reflection, however, on the
part of every intelligent voter, will suffice
to show, that the work Of the Chicago Con-
vention has conferred the greatest possible
significance upon this falls Congressional
elections
This significance is emphasized by the
fact, that every revenue and currency
measure must originate in the lower House
of Congress, and if it should be controlled
by a safe working majority in favor of
sound money, a free silver President elected
on a free silver platform would be compare
lively powerless for evil.
1t is plain, therefore, that it is quite as
important to elect this fall sound money
House OF Representatives as sound money
President.
The necessity then, of all opponents of
the free silver heresy, uniting their forces to
secure representatives Of their opinions in
the Fifty-tifth Congress, becomes doubly
apparent. There is in this county and
throughout every county composing the
Second Congressional district, a large num-
Der OF representative Democrats who will
not support Mr.. Bryan for the Presidency
They can not be led into the Populistic
camp by any appeal that can be made to
mere partnership.
They will vote their honest convictions
on the currency question, losing sight for
the time of their past party affiliations.
Some of them will cast their ballots for
Mckinley, Others for Senator Palmer, all of
them should and doubtless will also sup
port Mr. Baker for Congress.
The reasons for this vote are plain.
Mr.. Baker is capable and reputable
representative of the business classes of the
| district. He is not a narrow and illiberal
Republican rartizan, but broad and
liberal representative, in touch with the
people of his district upon every question
that affects their political and business
interests
Personally, he deserves reelection. But
what is most important at this time, he is
sound on the currency question: a qualified
advocate OF an honest dollar, and one whose
views and opinions are in line with the
sentiment and opinions of the property
holding and business classes of his district.
On this paramount issue OF the campaign
the line is clearly drawn between him and
his Populistic opponent Mr.. levitt.
The latter has publicly defined his posi-
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-10-03

ton, and has given his endorsement Of the
financial heresies of Mr.. Bryan and his
Populstic supporters.
Mr.. Baker represents sound currency
and an honest dollar, the maintenance I'M
impeached of the financial integrity of the
country, and monetary system in which
each and every dollar is of the full value
Recognizing the fact that party affilia-
tons are of less consequence in this cam
paign than correct financial principles,
sound money men of all parties can and
doubtless will support him, and work fol-
his election, and the common welfare OF
the country.
The WING believes that Mr.. Mckinley
will be triumphantly elected President OF
the United States, and that large majority
of the voters of Maryland will cast Their
ballots for the Mckinley electors.
Because it believes this, it also believes,
that the conviction is general throughout
the Second Congressional district, that all
its interests, agricultural, industrial, COM
mercial and manufacturing, will be best
subserved by the reelection of Mr.. Baker
as their Representative in the Fifty-fifth
Congress.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1896-10-03
Irmers will get the new coin and the Ger.

farmers will get the new coin and the GER
tfcates
Third. Farm products will appreciate
slowly as money depreciates.
Fourth. The farmer will lose on all
money he obtains for his crops, as this
money will constantly and without limit
deprecate in value.
Fifth. For every article the farmer has
to pay he will give prices higher at least
to the extent of the depreciation in the
value OF his money. The only exception to
this may be that the depreciation in money
may enable the farmer to cheat his hired
labor out of small portion of its hard
earned daily wages without becoming
amenable to the law.
If the farmers will do their own thinking
and not be influenced to vote in favor of
the man with the smoothest tongue and
the least honesty, there can be no posi-
bility OF such a disaster overtaking this
country, as would be the election of Bryan.
Every farmer knows he can take % bushels
OF wheat to the mill and get 100 pounds of
flour, which is called half barrel. If the
United States should enact law requiring
each 80 pounds of flour to be called half
barrel how much wheat would the farmer
expect to give for such half barrel /?
Farmers are not expert financers and they
do not believe Mr.. Bryan when he says
they are, but they know so pounds of flour
will not buy them as much as will 100
pounds of flour, even if the fifty pounds
should be called half barrel. They also
know that fifty cents worth of silver will
not buy as much as 100 cents worth, no
matter what the fifty cents are called by
the greatest Government on the face of
the earth" Tho faith that it is necessary
for follower of Mr.. Bryan to ha~e is the
kind the Boston girl had in mind when
she said faith consisted in believing things
you know are not true. Debtor farmers
will do well to give some careful thought
to the future before they cast vote for
Bryan and all the evils he stands for

HENRY HOOPER MITCHELL,

In the unpretentious worth of this man,
whose name for fast accommodating years,
has to us all been household word, nature
exhibited her handiest work.
Of his manhood, modest merit was the
manifold mark.
Indulgent ease courted him in vain, fol
he was busy worker in the haunts, where
obscurity and disease, awaited his fellow
men.
His modest usefulness, has found fitting
sequel i'll his quiet departure, and with
those yet to follow him, his name will evel
remain cherished memory.

heresy prevails.
1t means cheap dollar, and an increase

wear, without a corresponding increase Of
your wages OF earnings.

sweat of his brow his daily bread
