There seems to be some reasonable
complaint against the aggressions and
usurpations of ''yaller journalism.
Here, for instance, is sample of its
cheek:
1t is now three years since the New York;
World, finding that the bicycle was used and
understood only by the favored few, started
out to convince everybody that instead of
being toy or a mere exercising machine it
was one of the greatest inventions of its kind
ever made destined to do for the individual
and the family what the steam locomotive
had done for communities and States. In
blooming" the bicycle systematically and
scientifically for six months and in en-
couraging it ever since, the World has given
new means of enjoying life to tens of thous-
ands, and it has the pleasure of seeing the
tens growing into hundreds with every year
that passes.
The mystifying portion of this claim
follows:
The world moves, and all who love to move
with it may well thank its progress for the
wheel.
And now bicyciists do not know
which to thank the more-the World
or the world.

The report, elsewhere printed, dis.

gone above the one hundred thousand
dollar level.
OF the 'loans secured by mortgage
at least 80 per cent. is upon Frostburg
property, all amply margined.
Of the ''stock paid in" about $53, 0O(
is represented by paid up certificates,
nearly all held by workingmen.
Of the dividend $3,lll.47 was this
week paid in cash, the money going
into circulation almost wholly right
here at home.
The remainder Of the net profits,
$l,9G5.7O, goes to the credit of current
stock and stock covered by mortgage
The former class is comparatively
small, so that a large portion of the
sum named goes to the eXtinguish-
ment of so much of the stockholders
morteaged debt to the Society.
The plan of the Society is thoroughly
cooperative. The investing and
borrowing stockholders are treated
exactly alike. The borrower pays no
premiums and the investor gets nc
premiums. Six per cent. interest upon
the actual amount of the loan is collect.
ed and no more, excepting the mortgage
fees usual to all borrowers, a small entry
fee. and small fines if the borrower
fall in arrear. The sum of so cents
per week and 30 cents interest, paid
regularly, will mature two shares
(p26O), of borrowed stock in about 7
years and 10 months. During this
time the holder will have paid about
$335.S5, or $685. more than the $3.50
borrowed. The sum of 1855 is,
therefore, the net cost of the loan, or
less than 4 per cent. per annum for the
time named. This is not theory, but
experience in hundreds of cases.
The secretary and treasurer of the
Society are doing their work well, and
great care is taken by the directory in
general to exact ample security fol
loans. 1t is a part of the general
policy also to issue no paid-up stock
in the absence of demand for money
The low cost of money under this
plan and the ease of repaying it are a
boon to poor men, and larger portion
of the growth of the town of Frostburg
is due to the facilities thus afforded

mat Inan bryan never says anything uIl-
less he says it right.-Cumberland Indepen-
dent.
The JOURNAL is not sure of that.
Mr.. Bryan on one occasion said:
The poor man who takes property by force
is called thief, but the creditor who can by
legislation make a debtor pay dollar twice
as large as he borrowed is lauded as the friend
of a sound currency.
The trouble with that statement is
it is made with an apparent purpose
to mislead. "The creditor who can By
legislati0n," etc.. is statement very
adroitly put in view of the fact that it
is not, never has been and, the JOUR-
NAL believes, never can be within the
power of creditor, or creditors, to
accomplish that feat ''by legislation"
The dollar is the metre and carrier
of commerce. 1t not only measures but
it conoeys value. In both offices it must
be acceptable to commerce.
Legislation cannot double the value
of a dollar any more than it can in
validate a legal contract. and it can no
more force a 50.cent dollar to do the
Office of 100 cents than it can compel
people to make contracts.
Mr.. Bryan practically acknowledged
so much last Monday, when, in speak
ing to the law class of Columbian
University, he SAID:
If government be studied, there must be a
rule or standard to go by, just as there is a
standard gauge to measure merchandise.
Undoubtedly.
But the question is-will anybody
but demagogue, who "never says
anything unless he says it right" say
one thing of vital import to an audi
ence of voters and another thing to an
audience of law students?
