From the size and enthusiasm of yeS' terday's audiences It seems fair to as Bume that the voters of Lackawanna county know when they have had enough of Democratic times. The Future of Silver. It Is a significant fact, In connection with the Interview with William Con nell, elsewhere in this Issue, that the only party which offers hope to the west is the Republican party. It has pro nounced unequivocally in favor of bi metalllsm, and It means what it says. It is not a party of extremists, and it will not promise the impossible. But it has a consistent record of meeting every real emergency without sacrifice of any honest Interest It would be idle to deny that the con dition of the west, as depicted by fair minded visitors from the east who have no axe to grind, Is one which calls for legislative action further than that taken by congress in its recent special session. It would not be safe to re open this question while the control of the government is vested in inexperi enced and inefficient hands. The coun try will never consent to the introduc tion of disturbing innovations. It has no more money to lose on visionaries and cranks. But it can certainly afford, when this free trade insurrection shall be safety conquered by Republican ballots, to pro ceed to a conservative and yet kindly consideration of western coinage claims. The principle of protection to American Industries is not restricted, in the minds of honest Republicans, to any section. It applies with equal co gency and force to the west as it does to the east; and to the south as well as to the north. If it shall be possible, as Mr. Connell suggests, to coin Amerl can silver at a prudent ratio without incurring the danger of being swamped by an influx of foreign bullion, who would object? Certainly, It Is no time for extreme views on this question and honest discussion can surely do no harm. The effort of the Democrats to stir Up prejudice against John H. Thomas will fall, for the obvious reason that prejudice is not deciding things in this campaign. Common sense is in com' mand, and common sense points to Mr. Thomas' re-election as the proper trlb ute to be paid to faithful and efficient public- service. A Lack of Confidence. In view of the fact that a number of operatives have recently been tempor arily suspended at the ordinarily pros perous Luzerne Knitting mlllo in West Plttston, a representative of the PlttS' ton Gazette has interviewed Mr. Elli thorp, the efficient manager,, as to the cause for such an unusual course. His reply is a whole volume of condensed business fact, as compared with the fictitious trade booms which are being manufactured before election, in the of fices of the Democratlo newspapers and It takes on additional significance whin one knows the conservative and truthful character of the man. Mr. Elllthorp said that this slack con dition of trade is general. Nearly all of the New England mills are also run ring shorthanded. Ordinarily, he said the Luzerne mills, at this season of the ymr, have been kept in operation a their full oapar-lty preparing for tht next season's trade, but a combination of circumstances has made it neces sary now to curtail kl e product. Mr, Elllthorp attributes the present dull ness to the general business depression that has prevailed for a year past, and to the numerous labor disturbances which have tended materially to cut down the purchases of nearly all classes of people. The general feeling among the trade, he says, Is that .these condl Hons, besides resulting In the present slackness, will also result In cutting down the prices of manufactured goods during the cOtplng season.' Laboring under this expectation, merchants the country over are carrying as little stock as they can possibly manage to get along with, In order to be prepared for the change in prices. Manufactur ers necessarily follow the merchants in cutting down stock on hand, and Mr, Elllthorp says that the Luzerne mills are at present carrying the smallest stock that they have had on hand at this season during the eight years of their establishment. It will be observed that Mr. Elllthorp does not give his explanation a politi cal twist; and yet there Is not a busi ness man among our readers who does not know that the great and damaging uncertainty which has for eighteen months hung over trade In this country has been directly due to fears connect ed with Democratic tariff legislation. The Democratic party has not com manded the confidence of the business Interests of the country; and a party which cannot do that cannot success fully govern this republic. The election of a Republican major ity in congress would give courage and stability to now timid and discouraged tradesmen. Senator McDonald Is already getting scared at the rapid progress of James Vaughan's candidacy for the state senate; but his feeling now will not be a marker to that which will possess him Nov. 7. When, not long ago, Thomas D. Davies was approached by one of the Democratic candidates with a proposi tion to trade votes In each other's favor, Mr. Davies manfully rejected the everture, saying he would stand or fall with his own party ticket. Honest Republicans will not forget this when they vote next month. The Hastings Meetings. There is 'no mistaking the public en thusiasm which manifested Itself yes terday at every point along the line of General Hastings' Scranton reception, From the moment of his arrival to the final word at last evening's immense mass meetings, his visit has proved a spontaneous and a significant ovation, telling eloquently (of great personal popularity and no less demonstrative of the popularity of the political prln clples which his candidacy typifies to the patriotic citizens of this peerless In dustrial commonwealth. From first to last, It was an honest uprising of the people against the party and the policy which have, in the brief period of two years, plunged a prosperous nation into unprecedented panlo and then jeering- ly congratulated it upon its ability to recuperate. It has been charged that General Hastings is a prophet of calamity, Who, let us ask, are the persons who utter that charge? Are they the men who have at any time during the last three decades endeavored to ward oft calamity when it has threatened the business Interests of their countrymen? Are they the men who have consistent ly sought to protect American labor against the depreciated values of free trade times? Are they the men who, by wise and conservative legislation, have Inspired the investors of our coun try with confidence and hope? Is their record one of broad and systematic statesmanship, fitted to the needs of the nation in which they live? Or are they the men who have uniformly and persistently done the very reverse of these things; the men who rode Into power upon the wave of a falsely-be-gotten prejudice, engendered at the ex- pense of thrift and enterprise and subtly planned to enlist the sympathies of socialists, Populists and tramps? It would occur to any but a Democrat that the least said by the party now in, power to the discouragement of calamity crying, the better for that party's own chances at the polls. It would occur to any but a Democrat that every syllable uttered In present condemnation of the Republican clta- tlon of actual and painful fact carries with it whole sentences of reproach for Democracy's own stock argument of the past the argument which cried calamity when there was no calamity and which, by persistent and merciless reiteration, finally brought on the very panlo that it never expected to wit ness. But the Democrat of today la unper- plexed by considerations either of con slstency or of common senBe. Unde terred by the frightful havoc which his warfare on protected industry has al ready wrought, and careless of the danger attending a prolongation of that strife, he springs Jauntily Into the arena with lance poised for a fresh on Blaught, and only awaits the re-assem- bllng of congress to ruthlessly carry on the war. Crying peace when there Is no peace, he sharpens his knife In se cret for a new dig Into the vitals of business stability, and cries out in hypo critical fervor when alert Republican Ism discovers and exposes his treach erous design. In aiming the present campaign directly at the heart of this second ebullition of Democratlo false pretense, General Hastings exhibits good generalship and superior tact, There Is at this movement only one real Issue before the American people, It is the issue of living wages versus idleness; of profitable investment ver sus stagnation and Iosb; of the Amer can protective standard against the economlo quicksands of clumsily lml tated foreign free trade. Upon an Issue of this momentous char acter, Pennsylvania ought to give verdict that shall permit neither mls- representatlon nor doubt. The Democratic party, as at present constituted, cannot command the confi dence of the conservative business ele ments of the country. A party which cannot do that is not fit to have control of the government. Vote for Clarence E. Pryor. Probably no candidate stands closer to the people than genial, free hearted Clarence Pryor, candidate for re-elec tloryas prothonotary. During the three years that Mr. Pryor has been serving the people In an official capacity no word Qf complaint has ever been ut tered against his methods of conduct ing the affairs under his administra tion. His oourse has received th praise of Democrats and Republicans alike, and no one who has ever trans acted business at the prothonotary office has aught but good words for the accommodating official and his affable assistants. The efficiency of Mr. Pryor has been recognized by the Republicans with the unanimous nomination of the popular official to a second term. No other prominent Republican cared to contest his claim to the office; Mr. Pryor's faithful service to both party and trust having been observed and ac knowledged by all, it seemed most fit ting that he should be called to another term of service. Mr. Pryor comes before the people with an unshaken record for his fidel ity to the Republican party and to the principles which make this country the greatest upon the globe. In his official capacity as well as In private life his devotion to the sound doctrines of pro tection and good government will be unswerving. He owes no allegiance to the party that would ruin American prosperity In brainless experiment, and 111 contribute nothing In its aid. Bee to It that no encouragement is given Democracy this fall. Vote for Clur- ence E. Pryor. Alexander Connell. Alexander Connell comes before the laboring classes this fall as one best qualified to represent them In legisla tive halls at Hanisburg. All hs years have been passed among the sons of toil and he is, therefore, well able to judge f the needs 'of the worklngman. Mr. Connell was born In Minooka thirty- three years ago and has spent his entire life among the hardy workers of the South Side, whose interests he has ever had at heart. He is a true Republican and has performed effective Bervlce for his party. For several seasons ho has presented his ward ably in the city councils and has been noted for his brilliancy and fearlessness. Three years ago the Twentieth ward had a Democratic majority of 600. Mr. Connell was elected by a majority of twenty-two votes. His representation of the ward in the council chamber has been the pride of his constituents, Thoroughly versed in parliamentary ules, eloquent and forceful in debate, he has exhibited qualities of states manship that will place him In the front rank at Han isburg. The laboring man who wants recognition in the state leg islature will do well to cast his ballot for Alexander Connell. He is a man who understands their needs and is a man amply fortified to champion their cause. THE FIELD OF POLITICS. Colonel Jim Sweeney, the imperturb able Hazletoninn who alternates between Buck mountain and Harrlsburg, Is not yet ready to concede that Hazle county is an impossibility. He declares that there will, in ull probability, be three pro positions advanced for the next legisla ture. The first will be a new county; the second, annexation to Carbon county the third, an appointment of an addi tional law Judge to hold court In Hazle- ton for the trial of lower end cases. There must, he thinks, be some relief, and it can only come by the passage of a law cov ering one or another of the adove proposl tlons. It is said by men learned in the law, that the constitution will permit of a law being passed to carry out any of the schomes mentioned. Speaking of new counties, the effort of Carbondalo to achieve county Boat hon ors Is to be strengthened, it Is said, by a vigorous advocacy of tho separation Idea on the part of the new morning daily which is soon to appear in the Pioneer city. For some reason, tho legislature has not taken kindly to new counties, May be it will be different In the near fu ture may be. www Current gossip has it that ex-Represen tativc C. Ben Johnson will soon assume an editorial relation with the Wllkes-Barre Leader. Mr. Johnson Is a well-equipped journalist, with a large store of free trade arguments that fit well into the Leader's stylo of politics. It couldn't get a bettor contributor. FORGING AHEAD. It Lends tho Procession. Avoca Argus: "The Scranton Tribune has been a synonym for enterprise Blnce the day it issued its first number. It hos given fresh evidence of its enterprise by introducing typesetting machines which almost do away with hand composition The Tribune easily leads Journalism In northeastern Pennsylvania. Will Hold Its Own. Scranton Record: "The Ttrlbune ap peared on our tables Monday morning at tired In Its new gown and the effect was most pleasing. Our esteemed contempo rary has now quite an air of the metro polls; and with "its present force of writers will hold its own in any field. Success to the new gown; may its shadow never grow less. , Is A Model Newspaper. Hyde Park Courier-Progress: "The Scranton Tribune has been greatly Im proved with a new dress of type which Is composed by wonderful typesetting ma chines. Tho Tribune is a model newspa per, vigorous, bright and newsy in all its departments. Is o Benefit to Labor. Jermyn Press: "Four typesetting ma chines have been introduced into the com posing rooms of the Scranton Tribune, and as a consequence the paper last Sat urday presented a new face to Its readers, The change was a vast improvement, and the proprietors are to be congratulated cn the success that warranted such a step, The introduction of labor saving machin ery Into the. printing office is not an omln ous sign, as many would suppose. It may cause temporary Inconvenience by the dis placement of a certain proportion of com positorB, but the final outcome will be more reading for the same expenditure. Com positors will still bo In demand for Bet ting advertisements and Job work, and even a number of those displaced by the Innovating machine will be employed to work the same, for it has been demon strated that the expert compositor becomes the most expert operator of the typeset ting machine. Slowly,, but surely, the masses are recognizing the fact that so called labor saving machines actually cre- ate labor, or at least give an Impetus to the demand for tho same. How muny centuries would It have taken to develop the resources of this great country if the only means of locomotion were the an clent, and almost forgotten, ox-cart? How many scholars would there now be in this or any other land If the only meth od of communicating Information to the masses were the old-fashioned quill pen? How many centuries might the missionar ies have labored among our heathen fel low creatures If they had not the printing press, a wondrous labor saver, as an aid Yet it can be clearly shown that every mile of railway built has caused a cor- respondlngdemand for laborers, every lm provement in any machine has increased the demand for that machine and us pr duct. Tho Introduction of tho typesetting machine will simply incroaso the demand for reading matter, for the fortunate oh era of the machines, in their eagernessto outstrip their loss fortunate brethren, will make it a point to Bupply more reading for a cent than was onco thought pos slble'.aml the public appetite once whettod will Insist on a porennlal supply. Conse quently, the publisher who 1 In the rear will make ai determined spurt rorwara fall out of the race, and the paper that can supply .the largest possible dish of news for the smallest possible charge will be the foremost paper of the day." We Hone to. Nelehbor. Olyphant Gazette: "If a new dress is any evidence of prosperity, the Scranton Tribune is certainly in a prosperous condi tion. Last Saturday it came to us bear ing ail the appearances of a great metro politan dally, and far surpassing some of them in the quantity and quality of news, both local and telegraphic, which it dished up In an entertaining manner. The type was set by four of the great Mergenthaler linotype machines, the first to be brought Into this section of the country. .The Tribune Is the leading daily newspaper of northeastern Pennsylvania and we do not doubt but It will one day forge ahead of any in the state."
