What are the Maryland Democrats
Going to Do About 1t ?

At the Andrew Jackson League BAN
quet in commemoration of Jackson day,
the Sth of January, held at Chicago, VIM.
J. Bryan made the speech Of the evening
MIR. Bryan in the course of his speech
said the party has no thought Of depart
ing from the principles enunciated at
Chicago in 1896. That PLATFORM" Mr..
Bryan said, will live in history and the
hour of its adoption will be remembered
as the hour when the money changers
were driven from the Democratic temple"
There is hardly anything surer in the
future than that Bryan will be nominated
for President by the Chicago platform
element of the party in 1900. The ques-
ton (which the Bryan men in Maryland
wish to have answered speedily is what is
the party in this State going to do? The
party has never given any authoritative
endorsement ofthat platform, and in the
congressional election of last fall virtually
repudiated it by nominating avowed gold
bug candidates. Smith, of Snow Hill, is
a banker and of course a goldbug. He
was nominated and elected by the DEM
ocratic party to represent it in the lower
House in the next Congress. Tippett was
the choice of their convention in the Sec
ond district, dictated by Talbot, gold
bug ex-menber and authority inthe party.
Mr.. Tippett went out of his way to insult
the Bryan, Chicago platform element in
the party, by declaring he was in favor Of
the gold standard.
The all important question for Mary
land is, where is the present German gold
Democratic machine to be found when
Bryan is nominated?
Bryan said in the course OF his speech
The trusts opposed the Democratic party
in 1896 because the Chicago convention
took the party out of the hands of
the Wall street crowd and adopted a
platform which precipitated the plu
tocracy which the party had held in solu-
ton for several years "
Last fall this solution" or sediment of
the party, as Bryan expresses it. is all that
answered in this State for the party. Let
us know and that speedily if the plutoc-
racy precipitate is to represent the party
in Maryland this and next year.

Bryan EpigramS.

The Chicago platform was good when
it was adopted; it grows better with age.
1t was strong in 1896; it is stronger now.
The Chicago platform denounced trusts
and declared them to be a menace; that
menace is greater today than ever before.
That platform warned the people that a
conspiracy was on foot to give to the
national banks monopoly of the issue
and supply of paper money; that con-
spiracy is now known to every one.
That platform pointed to independent
free coinage as the only means of restor-
ing the double standard; who denies ii
now?
That platform named I6 to as the
proper ratio and that ratio stands today
as the only ratio at which bimetallism is
possible.
The gold Democrats had chance to
crush out trusts during Mr. Cleveland S
administration, but they did not do it
The gold Republicans have the opportu-
nifty now but they are not improving it.
The trusts will fall when the gold STAN
dard is overthrown and not till then.
The gold standard means falling prices,
and falling prices will create trusts faster
than any gold standard party can destroy
them.
think we ought to be justified in call
Mr.. Gage the keyhole of the administra-
ton, because we look through him to
learn what is going on within the execu-
tive council chamber
He suggested that philanthropy and S
per cent would go hand in hand in the
new venture. The one chloroform the
conscience of the conqueror and the other
pick the pocket of the conquered.

The Trusts.

Thos. A. Mcintyre, who went to Eng
land, to obtain the consent of British
stockholders in American flour mills to
the formation Of combination of the
principal mills in this country, so as to
make trust controlling the output, re-
ports his mission successful. The trust
will have in its power almost all of the
product of this country and the supply of
about three fourths of the world.
The capital will be about $3.50, 900, 900
,, and its mills will turn out $4,000 barrels
! of flour daily, consuming 500, 900 bushels
of wheat.
The millionaires of England and the
United States are putting their money i'll
pool to control all the wheat in the
United States and if they can accomplish
that they can fix the price of all the wheat
in the world. The gold standard is a
British invention the purpose of which is
to control prices. This is done by max
ing legal tender money scarce scarcity
of money means low prices. When
the price of property aud products
is low money is high, requiring
great quantity of them to buy it.
Bonds, mortgages and every species
of debt remain the equivalent of money.
They are expressed in the number of
dollars they call for and rise with money,
while the property they are fixed on falls
i'll value under the pressure of falling
prices. Hence it is readily seen the adj
vantage these great trusts have over the
commodities they are paced upon. Their
capital is sufficient to control the market
Of that commodity, and to depress the
price when they buy and raise it when
they sell.
The gold standard enables them to con-
troll the volume of legal tender or pri-
mary,-that is redemption money, and
| through that prices.
The Standard Oil Company have com
plete control of all the coal oil in the
United States and fix the price of the
crude oil they buy aud the refined oil
they sell. Nine cents a gallon retail
seems low but the trust could sell it at
half that price and make large profit
The trusts profit is reported TO be 40 per
cent on coal oil.
When this new nglsh-American trust
on wheat is consummated, all the wheat
Of the United States will be as completely
under the trusts contsol as oil is These
are the golden fruits to the trusts and
aggregated capital of the gold standard
The great morning daily newspapers
of the United States might properly be
classed as a newspaper trust Great ag-
gregations of capital own or control them,
hence they all of one accord advocate the
gold standard.
If the papers were not managed as
trust it would be impossible that the
papers of both the great political parties
could be brought in accord, and entire
agreement on the gold standard, more
properly gold trnst. When the wicked
rule the people mourn.
Look out farmers, and vote for the
party that favors the wheat and flour
trusts and stand fast to your old policy of
voting against your own interests.

The Cecil Wing makes mild appeal
for the resuscitation of the Elkton Fair,
and throws out obscure hints that the
property in certain hands may be used to
create Glocestor in this State and coun-
ty. If there is any grounds for such sus-
picion the people of this county had better
be looking sharply TO their legislative
candidates next fall. No race-course
ROSTERS are wanted at Annapolis repre-
senting this county.
AS an agricultural institution the fair
was of no more use than fifth wheel for
a coach, and never can be. Agriculture
has past the period of the old time fair.
The fair at best is an agricultural, or
farmers luxury. and farmers have not
been able to indulge in luxuries to any
great extent since the gold standard put
their crops down to bankrupt sale prices,
And they will not be able to indulge in
fairs or any other luxurious amusements
while the gold trust farms the farmers.
After voting for Mckinley and all his
English financial and trust policies and
then hoping to be able TO support grand
fair at Elkton borders on the preposter
GUS With hay at S. a ton and wheat
under 10 cents a bushel and other pro-
duce in proportion, there will be no agri-
cultural fairs.

Reporters for the Baltimore papers from
Elkton make the following statement =

Elkton make the following statement :
''It is rumored that it is the purpose of
several individuals to try to get the next
legislature of Maryland to pass law to
allow racing and poolselling on the
grounds of an agricultural society in Cecil
county, for sixty or ninety days each
year. If this could be done it would be a
big thing for those who may control such
grounds. The exhibition held last fall
was failure financially, but the friends
of the fair claim this was brought about
by the managers themselves, as the leas-
ing of the grounds to outlaw race peo
pie had disheartened the public, and they
consequently would not attend the exhi
bition. 1t is claimed that the fair can be
run successfully"
1t is evident that the gamblers who
were driven out of New Jersey and Penn
sylvania, and who gained a temporary
foothold in Cecil county, are going to
make desperate effort to buy a law
through the next legislature giving them
the privilege of setting up gambling
hell in this county under the skirts of the
farmers.
The claim set up by the "friends of the
fair" that its failure last fall was charge
able to the managers, is sheer nonsense,
The fairs have nearly all been financial
failures, and there is nothing in contem-
plation of these friends OF the fair" but
to set up a gambling and brothel hel-hole
in Elkton 1t is charged that they are
still running hidden gambling .dens in
the town.

Once more come with birthday gift
And loving heart to thee,
tribute to thy memory lift,
Thy anniversary.
The years have fled on times swift wing,
As nothing with US stay,
But memory's sweet whispering
Recalls life's blooming May.
How many joys it brings to u.s.
Sweetly we pass'd our time,
Glad in each others love to trust;
Bright days were thine and mine.
Together in the fowery field,
And riding on the plain,
Or Ginning dear old Plumstead hill,
Glad memory retains
The valley of old Buckingham,
$ Wide spread and beautiful,
Far on the the waters edge to scan
The pebbly brook was full.
Once more turn, oh living tide,
Proud Delaware to thee,
Thy crystal stream, meandering wide,
Forever flowing free.
Fond memory brings one spot so gay
With scenery most grand,
Point Pleasant on to Erwinna
Where rural beauties stand.
Then the broad level stretch of road
Through my dear fathers farm,
Where many brilliant carriageload
Sang sweetly through the morn.
How many of those voices dear
Have ceased their music strain,
Whose mirthful glance and welcome cheer
Still in our hearts remain.
Again, far down the rock.rrde slope
The milk.house in the glenn,
Where we have loved the wooi-bird note,
The lark's loud song, ali then.
The peewee with its mossgrown nest
Secreted meath the caves,
The turtle murmuring low and sweet,
The cIickt in the trees
Aye. wilt thou treasure each dear spot
That link'd my heart with home,
Altho' know thy views are not
Precisely With my own.
I cherish ey'ry sound heard,
The rattle of each latch
The carol of the forest bird,
Now gladly would catch.
l name no sorrowing change to thee,
Since change to all must come;
sing our country's liberty,
Our freedom ana our home
