A PITIABLE FIGURE.

(From the New York Journal)
In aspeech from the porch at Canton
on the Goth inst, Major Mckinley
gave his present view of the proposal
TO remonitize silver at the historic ratio
of Is to /, as follows:
Wewant to continue the use of the good dol
lars we have had since 1879 We want no
clipped coin In the United States We waut
no debased dollars any more than we want
debaSed labor. And when men have given a
full days work to an American employer we
want that American employer TO pay in dol
lars as good as any dollars any where In
the world and worth one hundred cents every
day and everywhere.
From March, 1885, to March, 1899,
Grover Cleveland was President and
maintained the gold standard, and
gave the country the "good dollars we
have had since 1879" What Major
Mckinley thought of those dollars be-
fore he surrendered himself TO the
trusts and syndicates in return for a
Presidential nomination he expressed
in a speech at Toledo, Ohio, on Febru-
airy 18th. 1891. He said:
During all of Grover Cleveland's years at the
head OF the Government he was dishonor
ing one of our precious metals, one of our own
great products, degrading silver and raising
the price OF gold. lie endeavored even before
silver dollars, and afterward, and to the end
of his administration, persistently used his
power to that end. He was determined to
contract the circulating medium and to de-
monetize one of the coins of commerce, limit
the volume of money among the people, make
money scarce and, therefore, dear. He would
have increased the value of money and dimin-
fshed the value of everything else'
Having in 1891 no motive for hiding
his convictions, Major Mckinley spoke
them. What he believed then he
doubtless believes now, though in or
der to crafty his ambition to be Presi-
dent-a President mortga2ed to the
predatory wealth of the cOuutry-he
deserts the cause of honest bimetalic
money and eats his words.
Suppose it could be shown that in
1891 Mr.. Bryan had spoken as strongly
in behalf of gold as Mckinley did in
behalf of silver, and that he had in
Congress and elsewhere upheld the
single gold standard, abandoning his
monometallic advocacy only when he
had been nominated on a free silver
platform, what would be thought OF
the honesty and trustworthiness of
Mr.. Bryan and his fitness to be Presi-
dent of the United States?
Major Mckinley is pitiable figure.

Tuesday the 9th, and Wednes-
day the 18th, of October are the
last days of Registra ton

THE members of the State Commit
tee of New York recently nominated
Wilbur F. Porter for Governor, in place
Of Thatcher, who startled the political
world by repudiating the Chicago
Platform, and at the same time pledg-
ing his support to the candidate advo-
eating the doctrine therein expressed
The leaders in the State at once realized
their mistake and urged upon Thatcher
the necessity of his resignation. This
was soon forthcoming, accompanied
by letter of explanation. The party
is ow united on Porter ct ol., who are
in accord with the platform drawn up
at the Buffalo Convention. There is
very little danger of the counties fail
ing to support the Democratic party
this fall, but in New York City, the
center of the money interests of the
country, there will, no doubt, be some
falling from the ranks We can win
without New York, but if that State
declares for Bryan and Sewall in No
vember next the result is certainty.

NEVER were the prospects so fiatter
ing for one OF the largest fairs ever held
in this county as those that surrounds
the opening of the big Frederick Fair
at present. Every available space in the
big building and on the grounds have
been taken up and still the cry for
more room is made every day. Presi-
dent Hargett, Secretary Keefer and the
Board of Directors are hard at work
seeking additional attractions and
looking after the entries for races.
Every one should lend helping
hand and the farmers of the county
should try to get their stock in
the finest condition. We trust that
the management will be bold enough
to see that the three-card monte
men and immoral sharks are kept off
the grounds. There can be plenty of
fun in legitimate ways without having
disgusting shows, which can but bring
the blush of shame to all decent peo-
pie.

Sta nd by Lee.

If our farmers all could read the re-
marks of Mr.. Lee at the Buckeystown
picnic they would be more than pleas
ed at the able manner in which their
cause was handled by the eloquent
gentleman who has been nominated
for Congress by the Democratic party.
Every true Democrat should support
M. Lee, it matters not what he may
think of the silver question. The
Sixth District will have an able advo-
cate in the person of Blair Lee. No
man can meet him but who will be
impressed by his gentlemanly manner
and kind and friendly greeting. There
are no frills or airs about Mr.. Lee. He
is truly the peoples candidate.

Work! Work! Work!

1t is gratifying to state that the
Democratic members of the County

Democratic neighbors to the impor-
lance of registration. From every dis

intelligence of the way our Democratic
friends are registering. 1t is all impor
tant now to look after your lists and
see that at your registration ev'

IF the men most deeply concerned
about the gold standard are honest and
sincere in their arguments and really
believe, as they say, that in the event
of Bryan's election gold will be hoard
ed and rise to high premium, why
don't they support him and be consist
ent? What have they to fear or lose
in any event which makes money
dearer and affords a means of traffic
in one of the metals used as money by
the United States on which now there
is high premium. They took advan-
tage of this fact in the recent bond is
sues when they had the treasury ION
the hip" and if the free coinage Of sill
yer would precipitate scarcity of gold
and provoke a demand for the same
which could only be satisfied by the
payment of high premium to those
who had cornered it, is it natural to
think that they would vote against
their pocketbooks? 10, and their ac-
tions substantially provei it. They want
the gold standard promised by the Re-
publican party, for their own interests,
and the people, well-"the people be

The American people do not want
any money that is not as accessible to
the humblest individual as compen-

any channel of trade or business, as it
is to the rich and more highly favored.

THE Democratic party extends a
cordial welcome to all to join hands
with it this fall in making a fight for
the people. No Republican or hide
pendent of the past should hesitate to
lend all the aid in their power in this
great contest. This is a fight for the
people against the trusts an COM
binations, which, if allowed to con-
tinue, will make the people abject
slaves.

A Surprise,

Quite an important statement was
made on Monday last, by Messrs.
Cowen and Murray, the Receivers of

the preferred stock of the B. & o. is

franchises of the Company. This will.

In this view, is nowise exaggerated
or distorted, it behooves the working
and agricultural classes TO consider
their position III this contest. Here in
Maryland the people of the rural dis
trlcts must he depended upon TO guard
the interests of the entire State and
vindIcate its allegiance to principles,
long relied upon To promote the good
Of evety branch OF legitimate pursuit.
For the past thirty years the elector-
al vote of Maryland in every Presi-
dental contest mas been in favor of
the Democratic candidate. In the
present contest the candidate of the
party is "a tower of strength" in be-
half Of the people, and the magnifi-
cent greeting which he was given in
Baltimore, was significant of the fact
that this old State will he true in the
coming election to the prestige she so
proudly holds.
An all important duty in this contest,
however, is for every Democrat to reg
lister III the few days yet remaining
no Democrat, who has not already
odone so, should omit having his name
placed on the books. Otherwise he
cannot vote, and if he does not vote he
fails to obey his duty as a citizen.
Maryland will give majority Of not
less than 10000 for Bryan and every
genuine Democrat should have a part
in such glorious result.

Electric Cars to the Fair.

SO we are to have the cars to the
fair grounds. All the trouble has been
settled and the work is being pushed
right along. We trust things will be
completed before the cars run; no more
experiments to please the people. The
fare will likely be ten cents each way
This will give the livery men a chance
also. All will have plenty to do and
no one will kick who wants to ride on
the cars for ten cents.
