par value of their government bonds deposited in the Treas

designed check the draining Of gold from the Treasury
endess chain SYSTEM to increase the amount of national
bank currency thus partially supplying the loss of paper
circulation by locking up the greenbacks and provide
better banking facilities for the West and South by allowing
national banks to operate small capital. But of much
importance is the proposition that Congress shall
specifically pledge the redemption Of all government obliga-
tons in gold. If adopted, such law would rrevocaby fix
the United States the gold standard, because it would
forbid the possibility of paying United States coin bonds in
silver if the holder of the bonds demanded gold Not only
would the bonds be payable gold only the demand the
holder but all the paper OF the United States would

~ for years wrestled with the road problem, but
the solution of the difficulty to the satisfaction of the
travelling public has not yet been reached" And this
is where the trouble ies-our Democratic administrations
have been doing nothing else with the roads but wrestling
with them They have wrested and wrested and westled
instead of making good roads and the result has the
people of the county dollar after dollar Just the
The Republican State administration having seen this
Intellectual work in the road line in Cecil and in other counties
promptly took the matter and organized State commits

the question of better roads in Maryland; and this
action taken the part of the Republicans that the people
of Cecil county will be indebted tor any improvement the
highways.
The Democrats, however, would have the people over
look this good road the part of the Republican
administration, and they forth claiming that inter-
of good roads will be thered by the election of the
Democratic Legislative candidates. But Democratic admin.
sraons in the road line have been such signal failures that
this political dodge will have little effect will not divert
the attention of the public from the movement-tha is from
the good road movementthat is being carried
the Republicans. The Democratic party has been 7yrsug
with the road problem-surey.

Brickwood followed in the same di- rection with his liquor establishment, two years afterward building a frame house adjoining the international line. This and other buildings were torn down in 1898 by order of the United States attorney-general under instructions con veyed by the presidents proclamation requir- ing a space of sixty feet to be cleared for dis tance of two miles.
