Plan to steal millions from canal deal exposed
A long critical piece argues that 1890 and 1899 canal lease and sale plans favored the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. It charges the Allegany Ring and B&O with manipulating state politics, waiving liens, undervaluing the canal, and harming Western Maryland development while detailing bonds, judgments, and claims tied to the canal's fate. The article cites figures, interviews, and legislative acts to claim a deliberate public plunder and asks for accountability.

Allegany Ring and the Baltimore and Ohio Monopoly Threat
A Maryland interview alleges a tight alliance between the Allegany Ring and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. It warns that state canal assets will be bid away to B and O, locking in control for 2 1/2 years and risking a railroad monopoly, wage oppression, and loss of regional development. The piece argues against Republican leadership and calls for Democratic restraint on corporate power.

The Baleful Trust Threat to Small Business Startups
The article laments growing trust power over industry and its impact on the rising generation. It argues that former employees, small merchants, and new entrepreneurs face elimination as smaller combines are swallowed by larger ones, leaving no path to start a business or pass ventures to sons. It calls out the trusts and the political party behind them.
