Butter is con ensed product, and
nothing can be made or grown on the
farm that brings MS much TO the pound.
This allows farmers remote from the raj
road TO NJ rk,t their products at least Ell

condensed into butter aud sent to market

Butter is finished product. 1t is

Patuxentis Drum Point harbor, the best near
the Chesapeake. 1t is large enough to aol q
a large fleet A railroad to Baltimore from
this point has long been talked Of In tact
part of the road bed has been constructed, ana
in time it will be completed. The Govern
ment, too, will examine the place to ascertain
the ACCESSIBILITY of constructing large floating
dock there.
The trip down the Patuxent, fifteen miles,
and up the bay was much enjoyed. Opposite
Solomon's Island. near the mouth OF the
Patuxent, on the St. Mary side, is an extern
sive canning factory, on farm OF many nun
dreds of acres, seven hundred OF which were
this season sown in peas. This pea patch Is
equal to the area of about five average Carroll
county farms. The vines are cut with mowers,
and then run through hulling and asserting
machine. in much the manner wheat is
threshed. The 700 acres will yield about
35, 600 bushels.
Baltimore was reached at 6.3e in the eve
ming. The party then became guests OF the
Journalist Club of Baltimore. At o clock
they we're escorted to the Howard Auditorium
and given boxes, and enjoyed the operas
s.Pinafore'' and ''Rusticana. Later the
gentlemen of the party enjoyed ''club night
at the home of the Journalist Club, on West
Saratoga street. The greeting was cordial
and the entertainment generous.
All in all the annual outing of the Maryland
Democratic Editors Association was one OF
the most enjoyable the Association has had,
thanks to Hon. Henry Williams, of the Weems
Line, and to the Journalist Club of Baltimore.
To the readers of the ADVOCATE, who ex-
pect to take ali outing this summer, we would
recommend trip on the Weems Line of
steamers. 1t would be far more enjoyable
than lounging at the sea side and be less ex-
pensive, and they could see and learn some
thing of the southern section of Maryland, a
section that is distned to come to the front
in the not distant future.

WAR N EWS.

In our local columns is an account of the
landing of 600 marines in Cuban soil neal
Guantanamo and an attack on them by the
Spanish the same day, also of another attack
on Sunday night.
According to dispatches published yester-
day the Spaniards have been sending large
achievements in preparation for an attack
in mass on the marines. American warships
tried to check this movement, but failed, as
they could not get near enough to the rein,
forcing parties to do any damage. A heavy
attack on the marines was momentarily ex-
pected at last accounts. American warships
bombarded the forts about Caimanera and
soon sienced them.
Admiral SIMPSONS fleet again bombarded
the forts at the entrance to Santiago harbor
on Thursday. One of the forts was destroyed
and others were badly damaged. MORO Cas-
tie, in which Lieut.. Hobson and his men are
confined, was spared. The dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius had second test of her. guns. She
threw several gun cotton projectiles at the
Spanish torpedo-boa destroyer in Santiago
harbor, with result not as yet definitely
known. She also threw a projectlle which
tore great hole in Cayo Smith.
Gen. Skaters army, in 81 transports and
guarded by number of war ships and cruis
ers, have sailed for Cuba and are expected to
arrive at Santiago today, Saturday. Another
expedition is organizing to go to Porto Rico,
and the army for that island will consist OF
about 10000 men, mostly volunteers. The
second expedition has sailed for the Philip
pines and the third is organizing.
On Thursday night some 3,000 horses and
mules broke loose at Tampa, Florida, and ran
through the camp of the Fifth Maryland
Regiment. 1t is supposed many of the SOL
diers were wounded and perhaps some were
killed

The Bottom Out Of Wheat.

Joseph Letter, the Chicago wheat specua-
tor, has failed and the bottom has fallen out
of wheat. There has been decline of over
a dollar in spot wheat the past three weeks,
and August wheat sold in Baltimore on Mon
day at 772 cents, which would indicate price
of about II cents in Carroll.
Few farmers in this section made anything
by the high price ruling in the winter and
spring. Many sold last summer at IS to rs
cents, few got dollar for parts of their
crops but the bulk of the crop did not aver
age more than IS cents. Now that another
crop is coming into market the bottom has
fallen out and the price will settled own to 20
or 80 cents.

LETTERS DEAL COLLAPSED.
The Wheat Kings Losses Figured
at $o,5OO,OOO.

Chicago, ILL. June 13.-Joseph Letter,
for more than year the wheat king of the
world, was dethroned today. Three weeks
ago he had paper profit of 81, 500, 900. At
noon today his deal showed an actual loss OF
s.. 900, 900. or loss of SO 100000 in about
twenty -one days.
MADE A DOLLAR BUSHEL.
Letter is probably the only man living who
in a speculation made 81 per bushel Ill wheat.
Today he experienced the sensation of seeing
Il loss of 81 per bushel. for some wheat bought
at 81. IS sold for 20 cents. Wheat bought at
G43 he saw advanced to Sl.S5. According to
his own statement, he marketed cash wheat
at Il profit as high as 50 cents per bushel.
Letter profited not merely by the straghaway
advance in the price. He made by turns
in the market, selling out one month and
getting back again in a different and more
distant future at a discount, not only getting
his wheat carried for nothing but making
handsome additional profits.
When the Board of Trade session began
today Joseph Letter owned 10000, 900 of
bushels of wheat, it is estimated, contract
and option; the latter was sold out under
pressure and the Illinois Trust and Savings
Bank was made trustees for the remainder.
Those who know, or are in a pos ton to know,
say the loss on the 100000 bushels will
average 80 cents per bushel, which would
aggregate 81, 800, 900. Other experiences in
cident to the deal will bring the loss up to a
round $1,000 000 and this immense sum the
elder Letter obligates himself to pay, in order
to help his son out and maintain the CONNER
ciaI honor and integrity of the family.
OF the 1000, 900 bushels 1000. 600 are in
the elevators in Duluth and Minneapolis. and
represent options in July, September and
December; 1000, 900 bushels are il transit
between Chicago and New York and 1000,
600 bushels ON the ocean between New York
! and European ports
AN EPITOME OF THE BIG DEAL.
The epitome of the Letter campaign mp to
the close of May was as follows:
First wheat bought April =, 1897 at 1873.
Cheapest purchase June Is, 1897. at 64I.
Price advanced to S1.S5 May 10, 1898.

Total of wheat exported and sold. $4,000,
600 bushels.

Democracy's Opportunity.
WESTMINSTER, MD.

The overwhelming sentiment Of the country
WAS opposed to declaration of war against
Spain.
Now that Congress has plunged the coun-
try into war, the people want it vigorously
prosecuted and speedily ended.
And the sentiment of the country is over
whelming against the policy which the pres
emf Administration is about to inaugurate, OF
reaching out for foreign Observation-Disclosures,
the Philippines, Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Caroline Islands.
To take and hold these islands ignores the
advice of Washington, annuls the Monroe
doctrine, changes the policy of the United
States pursued for an hundred years, and will
require large standing army and an i'm
mense navy.
The people are opposed to all this and the
Democratic party should hold all other ques,
tons in allegiance and go into the congress
sional elections declaring fora vigorous pros
scution and speedy ending of the war and an
adherence to the policy Of isolation and
against entangling alliances.
Upon platform embodying these declara
tons the Democracy would sweep the coun
try. Around such platform the conserva
tive voters of the country would rally, regard
less of past party utilization, and administer q
crushing defeat to the imperalists who wan
the United States to branch ont as II grea
naval and military power, with possessions al
around the globe, which would mean not only
an immense annual expense, but would IN
yoye the country in continual foreign con
uoversies and wrangles and perhaps war.

ter and carry the qustons before the country

Hardness.

Smarting under adverse criticism for in
competency and hardness in sending an in
vading army to Cuba, the War Department
on Tuesday issued statement of what had
to be done and how it had been DONE The
statement is a plausible one, but the fact re-
mains that ten days ago considerable army
was dispatched to Manila, and this week a
second expedition was dispatched. 1t appears
singular that troops could be so soon started
for the Philippines, gathered as they were from
widely separated points, and it required nearly
two months to get an army ready TO go to
Cuba. All chief Cuba ports ought to have
been taken by this time.
