husking, though 1t has been very muddy

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-09-24

The Montgomery Press, the repre-
sentative Republican paper of Mont
gomery county, last week gave a
short sketch of the life of Capt. John
Mcdonald, the Republican nominee
for Congress from this district, from
which the following has been Cleaned
for the benefit of the readers of TIE
REPUBLICAN,:
He is in every way fitted to be the
standard bearer in this district. A
man of unassuming manner, his life
is above reproach and here, where he
is well known, he is much beloved for
his integrity and generous character.
Capt. Mcdonald is in the prime of
vigorous manhood although he has
passed through varied and trying eX-
periences. He entered the regular
service of the United States army in
1857 and was assigned to the First
Dragons, stationed in Arizona, par
ticipating in several campaigns
against hostile Indians in Arizona,
California and Utah.
In November, 1861, he was ordered
to the seat of war and served with
the Army of the Potomac. He was
complimented by the commander of
his troop for bravery and efficient
conduct at Williamsburg, Va, May A,
1862. He participated in the ''seven
days battle in front of Richmond,
where he won his shoulder straps,
being promoted to a second lieuten-
ancy July IL, 1862, on the recon-
mendation of the officers of his regi-
ment. At the battle of Kelly's Ford
he was severely injured and was com
plimented by the commanding officer
for the part he had taken in that ac-
ton. Mcdonald served under Sheri-
dan in the Shenandoah Valley, being
engaged in the "Gordonsville raid. :"
He was made first lieutenant Dec. 20,
1868, and promoted captain July l.,
1868. Since the war he has seen active
service in the southwest. He was
finally retired by reason of injuries
received and disability contracted in
the line of duty.
For twenty-five years Capt. Nc
Donald has been one of the most pro-
gressive farmers in southern Mary
land, his neighbors sending him to
the State legislature in 1881.
Few can show better record. x
man who has fearlessly performed his
duty in front of shot and shell may
be counted unflinching in the halls of
Congress, though besieged by dema-
gogues and INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
Capt. John Mcdonald is the man for

Mrs. Bert Feather, of GAINESVILLE,
w. Va, has been visiting her parents
and friends Of this place.

Gently.

Elijah Moon declares he raised a
bushel and half of potatoes from
one hill, and says he can prove it.
Potatoes are good crop in this sec
ton; but like nearly all the produc-
lions of the farm we have to dispose
of them at sacrifice. This is a taste
of free trade.
The festival held here last week
was a decided success, the net pro-
ceeds being more than $50. We hope
the ladies will make another effort in
this direction.
The real friends Of silver are the
sound money fellows of whom Mr..
Mckinley is chief, because they de
clare that every dollar of which is,
and ought to continue to be equal to
that of gold. The free silver men pro-
pose to give us a silver dollar that
would not be worth that of gold

The Farmer and Free Silver.

The war cry OF the advocates of the
free coinage of silver when talking to
an audience of farmers is: vote for
free silver and dollar wheat They
also say that the present low price of
wheat has been brought about by the
characterization of silver and con
traction of the currency. They tell
the farmer that if the country should
be flooded with silver through free
coinage the price of wheat would
double. Let us take them on their
own statement that an increase in the
amount of silver in circulation would
increase the price of wheat.
The records of the United States
Treasury Department show that in
1871 there was $52, 200, 900 of silver in
circulation, and the price of wheat
was 1926 per bushel; in 1875 there
was 1858, 900, 600 of silver in circulation,
with wheat at 81 per bushel; in 1880,
with $163, 900, 600 in silver, wheat was
95 cents; and so on down to 1895, when,
with 1926, 900, 900 of silver in circula-
ton, wheat had fallen to fifty cents a
bushel. If we should follow this out
to its logical conclusion the price of
wheat under free silver would fall to
almost nothing. However, this is
false reasoning, and is only used to
show that the quantity of silver,
more or less, in circulation has moth
ing to do with the price of wheat,
which is governed by other conditions
outside of the currency.

LAST week our free silver-plated
contemporary, the Mountain Demo-
crGt propOunds number of questions,
among which we find that it asks us
to look up Maj. McKinley's record on
silver and cites our attention to let
ter published in its columns from the
pen of Mr.. Bartine. Now who Mr..
Bartine is the editor of the Democrat
may know, we candidly confess that
we do not and we have serious doubts
if Mr.. Bartine is known outside his
native town.
Four years ago Maj Mckinley was
in favor of bimetallist, just as the
great Republican party of to-day is.
He believed then and he with his
party believes to-day that dollar
shall be worth one hundred cents
whether made of gold, silver or what
not.
But to bring the matter to a locality
known to all, what was the Democrat
doing ta0o months ago. 'Preaching
gold every chance it got and it didn't
say q word about the silver standard
and it's alleged great benefit to man
kind. Well, what happened?' Oh,
Mr.. Bryan was nominated for the
presidency on a free silver standard
platform and Immediately the Demo-
crat became silver-plated and from
thenceforth it has been warbling the
benefits to be derived from a fifty
three cent dollar.

Ireland in 1887, coming to the United
States when he was eighteen years
old. Soon after his arrival here he en-
listed in the United States army, and
until the civil war began served
in the far west. On the breaking out
of hostilities he was transferred to
the army of the Potomac, and served
with that army during the entire
war. He was promoted to a captaincy
for bravery at the seven days battle.
After the war he was sent west
again, where he remained until he
was retired in 1868. In 1870 he re
moved to Maryland and since resided
at his farm in Montgomery county,
not far from the Potomac river.
During his residence in Maryland he
has been an active party man. He
was a member of the Legislature in
1882 and in 1890 was the Republican
candidate for State controller. He
was Il master of the Montgomery
county grange thirteen years, and is
a director of the Mutual Fire lnsur
ance Company of Montgomery county
and q member of the vestry of Christ
Protestant Episcopal church at Rock

ton is entirely satisfactory to me,

BILE candidate to the party in the dis
trict. While / believe that he will be

sixth will be allowed to drift. There
is an impression abroad that we can
always carry the sixth. Now, there
! is nothing so uncertain as a dead sure
| thing and | recognize that the Dem
ocrats have a splendid leader in Mr..
| Lee, so that it behooves the Republic
cans to make an active campaign. 1t

Rockville defy all efforts at bossing.

The workingman's Own Questions

n. Y. World, Dem.
All the candidates for office and
their stump speakers are asking ques
tions of the workingman. Before
making up his mind how to vote the
workingman will do well to as k few
questions of himself, to-wit
Does the present 100cent doll& buy
too much food, clothing and amily
supplies for my advantage2r1T7..,.1s !, |
want its purchasing power diniin
ished?
What assurance have | that my
wages will be advanced to correspond
with the increase of prices which the
free silver orators say is necessary to
give the country a boom?
Can | mark up my wages as fast or
as easily as the grocer or merchant
can mark up his prices?
What compensation can there be
for me in giving the silver mine own
ers free coinage for their bullion if my
wages will buy less and my savings
are legally made payable in 53-cent
dollars? Where do l come in?
How will it help me to hurt Rock
Teller, Gould, Sage, Pierpoint Morgan
or even Carnegie and Pullman? Can't
the money kings stand a panic and
more business better than | can?
Is the best dollar in the world too
good for me or for any workingman?
Am | the fool that the Populist
cranks and the free silver orators take
me to be?
The workingman who is capable of
asking himself practical questions
like these and giving sensible answers
is in no danger of voting to clip his
dollar or scale down his savings.

MARYLAND.

Not one Democratic newspaper of
note or standing in the state of Mary
land supports Bryan and Sewall.
This is most remarkable state of
things. 1t shows that the journals
which have a reputation to lose can
not afford to make the plunge deman-
ded of them. The same thing is true
of the Democratic leaders in Mary
land.
On the other hand the feather
headed politicians who are ready at
any time to fling away principal and
follow "a supposed expediency, or to
mount themselves on the back of
every passing popular delusion, take
to free silver as a duck to water. In
their shallow judgment the people
are always ready to be imposed upon,
especially by an imposture which has
a spice of dishonesty to recommend it.
