The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1897-08-07
Approving Bryan's Theory

Most of the city papers are declaring that
prosperity has returned, and base their chief
reliance for the assertion upon an increase in
the price of wheat and the abundant crop.
The crop was abundant, but many thous-
ands of bushels in Maryland were lost by the
long rainy season following harvest. When
this is taken into consideration, notwithstand-
ing the increased price, by reason of the short
crop in Europe and Argentina, farmers will
not be very much better off. 1t will still take
nearly 100 bushels to pay interest on $1,000
mortgage, whereas 40 bushels only were re-
quired few years back.
Then, too, the city papers unwittingly adj
mitted the contention of Mr.. Bryan, that
there could be no prosperity until agriculture
revived. He said-preserye the farms, and
you may burn your cities and they will spring
up again; destroy your farms, and grass will
grow in the streets of your cities. Last year
these city luminaries contended that the start
ing of the mills and factories alone was es-
sential to restoring prosperity. In reply it
was said that it would be useless to start the
mills, unless farmers had money to buy the
products Of the mills. Now this is admitted.
However, there is little consistency about
city dailies. They say that which best suits
their purpose for the present. What position
they maintained year or even six months
previous is not matter of consequence.

Part of the Republican Record.
From the Baltimore World

FROM Ine NOTlu
There seems to be q remarkable unanimity
in the opinion that Mr.. German is going to
win this fall Why is it? Surely not because
Mr.. German has become strongly esteemed
by the people of this state. Not bit of it.
The plain truth of the matter is that the peo-
pie are utterly disguised with the performances
of the Republicans who have been given Office,
and with the attempt On the part of Yelling
ton to build up political kingdom of his own.
Beginning with Hooper, what did he do for
the people of the city? Nothing but stir up
a constant turmoil in the city hall, which
could do no possible good.
The city council followed suit, giving away
franchises and voting money right and left
without excuse.
The school board has perpetrated one of
the worst farces of them all, and arranged tor
the expenditure of money for school books
that was entirely unnecessary.
Lowndes, as governor, has done nothing
but announce himself as candidate for the
q. S. Senate.
The Legislature was one of the shallowest
the state has ever known, and Duke" Well
ington has capped the climax by making
himself the laughing stock of the state, and
by attempting to dictate nominations every
where, as well as all of the appointments by
the President.
The World warned the Republicans that
the people did not overthrow the old ring for
the purpose of allowing another one to spring
up in its place, and that if an attempt was
made to create new ring the people would
resent it at the polls in a way that the Re
publicans would not soon forget. The short
sighted boss has not needed the warning, and
has attempted to be greater and more AFRO
CANT boss than German ever pretended to be.
These are the reasons why there is such a
universal belief that German will win this
fall.

The Dingley Bill.

Those who would learn something of the
new Federal tax law, known as the Dingley
law, should read closely the article on the
subject on the first page. And the article is
a good one to lay away for reference, partc-
ularly by those who expect to speak to the
people upon the issues of the campaign this
fall.
For the first time in the history of Federal
tax bills anthracite coal, the household fuel,
is taxed, and the rate is IS cents ton. BIZ
luminous coal, such as is used for furnaces,
steamboats, and railroad locomotives, has
always been taxed, but at much lower rate
under the Wilson law than under any Repub-
lican measure.
The article shows the rate of taxation on
very many articles of necessity, and shows
that the average rate Of tax of 81 per cent.
imposed by the Dingley law is very mislead
ing. On some fifty-two articles, mostly con
sumed by the masses, the rate ranges from
100 to pa per cent Among these are COM
mon window glass, upon which the duty
ranges, according to size, from l07 to l68
per cent; pen knives or pocket knives of the
cheaper qualities, upon which the duty is Ill
per cent; wooden goods of the different de-
scriptions, upon which the duty ranges from
1902 per cent. on the better qualities and 1l9
per cent. on the cheaper qualities of Aannels
up to Ill per cent. on the cheaper qualities OF
wooden or worsted shawls; the cheaper quality
of blankets, upon which the duty is 125 per
cent; wool hats, upon which the duty is III
per cent on the better qualities and 20S per
cent. on the cheapest quality; felts, u1on which
the duty is 1O4 per cent on the better quail
ties and pa per cent. on the cheapest quality
pulp, paper and books upon which the duty
is 200 per cent.
Study the article, and see how oppressive
is the Dingley law.

Tortured to Get a Confession.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Aug. 8.-Lukasz Sondej,
a Slav, told startling story before Justice
Shoemaker today Andrew Petchak and W.
Ladisaw Fredima suspected him of having
stolen $50 from them. They surprised HIM IN
his bedroom. bound and gagged hi II, and then
hung him to nail in the wall of the room
with rope under his arms. While he was
thus suspended they applied lighted matches
to the soles of his feet, and threatened to con :
tinue the torture all night if he did not confess
the theft and tell where the money was hidden
Sondei finally tainted and his tormentors re-
leased him without securing confession.
Meanwhile neighbor who had discovered
what was going on, called Policeman Andrew
Koszar When the officer entered the
house he was set upon and severely beaten by
Petchak and Fredima. The officer finally es-
capped and the accused men were ralded ana
taken into custody by posse. Sondej is in a
critical condition. He denies all knowledge
of the theft

The Mother of Eight Twins.

One of the most remarkable old women in
Pennsylvania is Mrs, Mary Ann Cassidy OF
Coalport, Clearfeld county, who IS now 100
wears of age. She was the mother of Is boys
and five girls. Nine are living and nine
dead She gave birth to four pairs Of twins.
Mrs. Cassidy was born in County Fermanaagh,
Ireland. in 1892, emgrating with her h EI
band and family to this country in lS4o. her
husband was killed at Broad Top few years
after coming to America by being caught in
coal shaft Mrs Cassidy was never known
to be sick and never had physician as mother
of her Is children. She never went to
dance in her life For the last q years she
had had her 'second sight, and now does
not need to wear glasses. Though she is
toothless as the day she was born, she can eat
heartily of the common fare. She weighed
22O pounds when coming to this country, but
during the last 10 years has dropped TO about
200. About year ago she kissed one of her
twin boys as he lay in his coffin. having died
at the aged of IS years.

LowNpEs AND MupD.
Republican Factions i'm Prince Georges
County and Bitter Fight.

Republican primaries were held in Prince
Georges county last Saturday. The Republl-
cans were divided into hostile camps, and
bitter was the feeling. The cause of it was
rivalry between Lowndes and Mudd. both OF
whom wanted to get legislative nominees IN
their favor for the United States Senate.
The first friction was caused by Lowndes
turning Mudd's friends out of the State to-
bacco warehouses and replacing them with
his own heelers. Mudd had hold of the party
machinery and he took all the judges and
clerks of election, and when the primaries
came off, the Lowndes people held primaries
of their own. In consequence two county
conventions were held on Monday, one by
each faction. Two county tickets were nom
mated and two sets of delegates were chosen
to the state and judicial conventions.
Each faction seems firm, and each side
would rather have Democratic success than
that the opposition Republican ticket should
win.
OF course strong efforts will be made to
heal up the difference before election day and
have all support common ticket, but the
bitter and hostile spirit aroused is too deep,
and no compact union can be formed.
Mudd intends to control the legislative
tickets in Southern Maryland, or will have
them defeated. If he cannot win no other
Republican shall, and Lowndes seems to re-
alize that if he is ever to be elected to the
United States Senate his only opportunity IS
by the next Legislature. He is learning ma
chine politics very fast and the patronage of
his Office will be prostituted in his behalf

Judge I. Thomas Jones.

The Democratic convention of the fifth
judicial circuit, which met in this city on
Wednesday, reflected the unanimous Demo-
cratic sentiment of the circuit in nominating
Hon. l. Thomas Jones to succeed himself on
the bench of this circuit. And there are a
large number of Republicans who are SO we'll
satisfied with Judge Jones' fairness, honesty,
capacity and integrity that they are pleased
at his denomination and hope their party will
not place candidate against him.
The testimony of the whole bar of the cir
cult is that Judge Jones is an able and i'm
partial Judge, a man ofintegrity and thorough
ly conscientious in the discharge of his duties.
He is courteous and genial and universally
popular with the bar and with the people, and
his election is generally expected.
