The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1900-08-03

Hon. II. G G. Church, of Parkers
burg, W. Va. who was one OF the
founders of the, Republican party,
who established and edited for many
years the State journal and then pre-
sented it to the Republican party and
who has been Que ofthe most liberal
to the campaign funds OF
his party and p life long Republican,
has announced in all open letter that
he will support MIR. Bryan and the
Democratic ticket this year. In his
letter Mr.. Church says, among other
things:
There is no reason why true Re-
publicans, who know the origin OF the
party aud its principles, should not
vote for Mr.. Bryan the chosen leader
OF the peopie-in this crisis of our
oountry's history. He calls himself q
Democrat Let the writer add
another word. Republican, aud il
will stand for all he represents t.
Democratic Republican, the sumo 40
Mr.. Lincoln.
There is but one issue in this crisis +,
and that is Imperialism. Whoever is
opposed to that intrusion should vote
for Mr.. Bryan. the prophet, sta,es-
man AID, what is above either, an
honest, truthful mat. He has the
wisdom OF Washington, the courage
of u Jackson aud the unfalteTing
of the hour, prOvileutisl!y chosen TO
save the American Republic from the
perlidy Of pelf and the selfish corrup-
ton q. geudered by souI!ess office
hunters under the reign of bossIsE'.
II Mr.. Bryan is defeated, then we NAY
prepare for imperialism in its fun
meaning and purpose.
I'VE want no expansion of the
American Republic outside of the
American continent and its adjacent
islands. The work and mission of the
United States are and should continue
to be on this continent. We should
not impose our Constitution by force
and fraud upon any people, but we
should welcome neighbor States into
the American Union whenever they
are willing to come in and be re-
ceived withaut breach of internal OBJ
legations.
"When say support Mr.. Bryan
as the restorer of Lincoln Blaine Dem
ocratic Republicanism l wish it under
stood that do not accept the vagaries
Of the Democratic platform. Like the
Republican platform with Il few ex
cept!ors, it was adopted to attract
voters. 1t is the man that support;
not the platform. Out Of his election
will evolve the Lincoip-B!2ine Demo
cratic RspubiIcanism Of years ago.
Imperialism lis the one issue Low be-
fore the American people. That
settled in the negative, we can pass 20
the consideration of other issues"
THE HIGH PRICE or SUGAR.
The ladies OF our county, who are
looking out for the proyerbial rainy
day and taking time by the forelock,
by stocking the pantry shelves with
an abundance of preserves, iellies and
many other female delicacies which
they alone know how 70 concoct, are
very much disguised on account of
the high price of sugar. They urge
and not without reason that there is
no reason to raise the price of this
necessity at time when SO much 'ot
it is used.
We hope however that they will
cease complaining when they learn
that the sugar trust has been assessed
for big campaign contribution to
help elect Mckinley and as these
trusts cannot exist without him and
his select coterie now entrenchei i'll
the White House, the ladies ought not
to blame the sugar kings for recogniz-
ing that self preservation is the first
law of nature.
