Sport.

The football game of Frostburg
with Homecoming last Saturday at the
Driving Park was not attended as it
should have been-a lapse largely due
to the damp, threatening weather. 1t
was pretty contest, however, neither
side scoring the first half. But in the
latter half Dixon, of the Lonaconings,
made touchdown, and Sloan kicked
the goal Most of the Homecoming
players were heavier than Frostburg !;
two or three were college players, and
the rest old players.
On the Frostbur side some of the
boys had never seen a game, much less
played one.
Edward Donahue is an excellent
trainer, and is to be congratulated
upon the way in which he prepared the
Frostburg boys, all of whom were new
at the game.
The score was to in favor of
Homecoming.
A return game will be played at
Homecoming next Tuesday. Nov.1.

Parity.

A gentleman who occupies prom
inent and responsible position IN this
county writes the JOURNAL the follow
ing questions:
Will you tell me how equal mint privileges
can be secured for both gold and silver and
not destroy the parity?
Was there ever a period when parity exist
ed unmpaired during the free coinage of
both metals?
In answer to the first question the
JOURNAL will say that in its humble
Judgment parity cannot be thus saved
from destruction.
SO far as the JOURNAL can find--in
answer to the second-free coinage in
this country was permitted only dur
ing the period between 1892 and 1893
evidently an experiment starting with
the establishment of the mint.
The proposal was more problem
then than now, yet it was solved later
by Thomas jefferson when he wrote,
in substance, that the true ratio Is de
terminable only by the average mar
ket value of silver, not meaning, of
course, a market enacted by legislation.
But even at that time the ratio
huctuated so capriciously that it was
hard to tell whether freedom of coin
age was an advantage or disadvant-
age, comparatively speaking, to sill
yer. At first the ratio fell, then rose
rose, rose, even after the law was re-
pealed, when it fell from ID 60 to IL. IL =,
or very nearly to the average for that
decade.
At that time the worlds annual pro.
duction of gold was t millions more
than that of silver.
Now, the silver output so far exceeds
that of gold that the figures seem
fabulous.
So that to give it free course in the
minis at any ratio would be but little
less ruinous than, adopting very large
ly the theory of Lycurgus, to accord
iron the same favor.
