REPl BLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
To the Republican elector of Pennsylva

The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by
their duly chosen representatives, wuj
meet In atute convention Thursday. Api
St. 18S6. at It) o'clock a. m.. In the ope"
house, city of llurrisliurK. for the pu
pose of .lomlnatliiK two tamll'lutcs ioi
representatlve-at-large in congress
thirty-two candidates for presidential
electors, the selection of elglit delegate
at-Urga to the Republican national ton
ventlun, and for the transaction oi "-"
other bUBlness as may be presented.
By order of the state commlgle,QUay1
Attest:- " Chairman.
Jere B. Rex,
W. R. Andrews,
Secretaries.
The last ticket won Harrison and
Reld and It got on unmerciful whal
ing, but the change, next June, of Just
one letter In thut ticket would sweep
the country next November.
Not Plausible.
It Is asserted in the Philadelphia
Press and other Journals not In the
habit of making groundless charges
that the House Committee on Terri
tories, of which Representative J. A.
Scranton Is chairman, has gonu Into the
business of making states out of rot
ten boroughs In obedience to commands
from the leaders of the antl-McKlnley
element at Washington. These leaders,
It Is said, wish to control the Republi
can national committee which has the
making up. of the roll to the St. Louis
' convention and consequently the de
termination, practically, In advance, of
the contests before that convention:
and In order to achieve this purpose,
find it necessary to get the votes of New
Mexico and Arizona territories in the
mmt.l4An T,..A 1 .1 , P lin
House Committee on Territories, it is
added, have assured the Press' Wash
ington correspondent that the vote in
the house committee early in the ses
sion against the admission of Arizona,
would not have been reversed, except
nt the express request of the anti-Mc-Klnley
leaders, who stated that It was
necessary to do so, In order to get the
votes In the national jommlttee of the
members repress... those territories.
The Tribune, from state pride, sup
ports Senator Quay for president and
Is to that extent against McKinley; but
It would regret to believe that , the
exigencies of the opposition to the Ohio
candidate are such as to call for the
foregoing kind of hog politics In the ef
fort to encompass his defeat. We do
not believe that Senator Quay has been
a party to any such deal, or that he
would care to profit by tfcat type of
manipulation. If the chairman of the
House Committee on Territories has
been Influenced to ignore the interests
of decent government, it Is hardly like
ly that the consideration wpuld be so
unimportant as a mere request on the
part of men anxious to defeat McKinley
at St. Louis. Nor would the anH-Mc-Klnley
forces be likely to be so foolish
as to Imagine that tactics of the kind
Just Indicated could suffice to stifle an
honest majority demand for the Cunton
statesman's nomination. They are old
enough to know that dam lantern
methods of political activity at this
stage of public Intelligence would be
apt to do more harm to their purposes
than good.
Upon the whole; therefore; we dismiss
this conjecture as ill-founded.
Cleveland's letter of declination Is
evidently modeled after the letter that
never came.
Open to Doubt.
There can be no just, objection to a
uniform enforcement In this city of
the ordinance against obstructions of
the sidewalks. If It is proposed to ad
minister the law on this point fearless
ly and without favor the Finn sub
stitute bringing the old ordinance up
to date is deserving of affirmative con
sideration by councils. But If the only
Intention Is to make a show of reform
and then let the whole question slide
back Into the limbo of things forgotten,
w cannot see that the pending instru
ment Is worth the paper It Is printed
on. -
It ought not to be Inferred from any
thing which we have said with refer
ence to the now celebrated Frotnlng
ham portico that we would advocate a
policy of favoritism In the grunting of
building privileges. If, however, a spe
cial grant will benefit the general pub-
. lie without seriously harming any In
dividual, then It Is proper to weigh that
benefit In the scales against the appar
ent favoritism of such a grant, and to
decide in accordance with the prepon
derance of advisability. This principle is
well established In law! a good Illustra
tion of It being found In the privilege
of eminent domain, whereby a .public
Improvement, although . operating to
- the profit of Individuals, may be car
ried over the antagonism of private
property-owners upon payment of leg
ally established damages. . In other
words, it & band stand on Wyoming
avenue would be a sufficiently Import
ant benefit to the public to justify the
grant by the municipality of a special
privilege to the builder of It. then such
a grant, would clearly be justified, and
the privilege thus extended for public
considerations need not necessarily be
repeated except for equal reasons.
If on the other hand the decision be
that a band -stand at the Frothing
ham arcade would not be of enough con
sequence to the public to warrant a
semblance of municipal favoritism, then
Ottit structure should come down, and
every other obstruction in the city, in
cluding The Tribune's bulletin board,
should ome with it. But are the au
thorities ready to do their whole duty In
this matter and Is public sentiment
ready to sustain them in doing It? We
have our doubts.
Ten years ago Spain promised to
grant certain reforms to Cuba, and the
rebels hud no sooner laid down their
arms than those promises were ruth
lessly ignored. It Is not likely that
Cuba w'll take the risk of being a sec
ond time buncoed by the some old trick.
Protection to Ship-Owners.
The Massachusetts Republican con
vention adopted. March 27. the follow
ing plunk which has since been re
adopted by the Republicans of Oregon
and New Jersey: "We have always
given protection to our shipbuilders. In
late years we have neglected to pro
tect our ship-owners. We believe the
time has come to return to the policy
of Washington and Hamilton, wjileh,
by discriminating duties In favor of
American bottoms, secured 90 per cent,
of our carrying trade to American
ships, and which, if now restored,. would
again revive our shipping and cause
American freights to be paid to Ameri
cans." An effort will be made ut Har
risliiirg on Thursday to secure a slml
lur expression from the Republicans of
Pennsylvania and It will deserve to
succeed.
An Instructive brief of the benefits
which the re-adoption of this policy by
congress would confer upon the Ameri
can people has been prepared by the
American Merchant . Murine associa
tion, "it Is," says the association,
"sound Republican protective doctrine.
It puts money into the national treas
ury, instead of taking money out, us
bounties und subsidies do. It creates
preference for American ships in the
carrying of American commerce. It
was in force for nearly forty years
from the beginning of our government
down to ISL'S, during all of which time
an average of 90 per cent, of American
foreign commerce was carried In
American ships. Ship protection was
abandoned, because it was no longer
thought necessury, and from that time
the proportion of carriage of American
commerce In American ships has de
clined, until today but 11.70 per cent, of
American commerce is carried foreign
In American ships. Five million tons
of ships are employed In carrying
American foreign commerce, less than
three-quarters of n million tons of
which are American. Four hound red
million dollars would be spent In
American shipyards building the ships
necessary to carry American commerce
if the policy advocated in the Massa
chusetts plank were adopted by the
United States. Three hundred million
dollars now annually sent abroad to
pay for the carriage of American com
merce, passengers anil mails, would be
retained in the United States if Ameri
can ships did the work. Four billion,
flve'hundred million dollars, It has been
estimated by competent experts, have
been sent abroad during the past
thirty years to pay for the carriage of
American commerce, passengers, mails,
etc. The weakness of the United States
is only apparent upon the seas of the
world; the adoption of this policy would
strengthen the nation where Its one
weakness at present exists. It is a pol
icy that provides for the same protec
tion for American ships that is now
provided for American manufactures,
to wit: discrimination against foreign
ships, just as we discriminate against
foreign manufactures, by a higher duty
upon the foreign articles, be they ships
or products of foreign nations. The
United States navy Is weak, because
Americans are not to be had to man
our warships. The adoption of this
policy would provide a resource for the
manning of the nuvy, sufficient to pro
vide the men for the nation's protec
tion, if ever assailed by a foreign
power."
To this Bucclnct presentation of the
subject, little need be added save that
Pennsylvania, with Its large ship
building interests, Is specially interest
ed. No Republican disputes the sound
ness of the foregoing conclusions. It
only remains for Rejiublloan Initiative
to give them practical effect.
The Volunteers' Gazette, the official
organ of the Volunteers of America,
has made its appearance with Balling
ton Booth as printer and publisher. It
is a handsomely printed journal of six
teen well-edited pages. While the In
itial number Is very naturally filled
with a discussion of the purposes and
plans of the new organization, no harsh
word is anywhere expressed for the
present body, and every reference to
the Salvation army Is friendly and tilled
with solicitude for Its welfare. The
first page contains a representation of
the American llaff and on every, pago
are evidences that tle new army of
evangelization will be organized on
patrlotio lines and be dominated by
American principles."
The position of state chalrman'ln a
presidential year is one of genulne'.lm
portance. The chairman this year not
only will have to conduct to a success
ful issue the battle for the election of
presidential electors and congressmeii-at-large
but he will also be in a post'
tion to exert a very great influence
upon the composition of the next leg
islature, before which will come the
duty of selecting a United States sen
ator to succeed, J. Donald Cameron. Car
the Republicans of Pennsylvania cor
fldently entrust to Frank Willi's
Leach such far-reaching powers n'l
responsibilities?
Says the Washington Star: 'There
is every assurance that the nex' Pr,s
Ident, Instructed by Mr. Cleveltt'" ta
reer, will And his greatest uf!'u'n,',M,
and highest pleasure In reppnt'h"

and they think they do.
On Friday last. In recognition of its
twenty-first birthday, the Pottsville
Chronicle treated itself, its advertisers
and its readers, to twenty-four pages
chock full of thrift and enterprise. We
compliment the Chronicle on its very
evident vitality.
Had Holmes begun the confession
business a few years earlier, the pub
lic would not now be puzzling Its head
to locate the whereabouts of the great
American novelist.
Much as we admire the Philadelphia
Press, we should think still1 more of
It If It would either openly support or
else boldly oppose Senator Quay for
president.
If Secretary Carlisle were as apt at
acting as he Is at taJklng, things fiscal
would be In better shape at Washing
ton. The Republican party In Pennsyl
vania should inform Brother Leach,
gently but firmly, that there are others.
I'p to the present, the Pattlson boom
has not felt called upon to complain of
over crowding.
The asphalt pavement needs a good
bit of repairing, but after all, It Is

F0U AMERICAN' BIMETALLISM.
tin order to outline what seemed to be
a sufe. way to bimetallism in this coun
try even in advance of an SRreement
among the nntlons. the following letter
was recently addresred by the editor of
The Tribune to the Wilkes-Uarre Record,
which had asked for enlightenment as to
The Tribune's position oil the question of
found money. It is presented herewith,
with minor alterations, for such criticism
as It may seem to linite.
I take It that It is to the advantage of
the American people to make silver more
valuable than It now Is, If they can do so
without greater loss than gain, for the
simple reason that they have more silver
me. more potential wealth expressed
in sliver metal, than any other people on
the globe. For the past ten years the coin
ing value of our total sliver product has
been to the coining value of our total gold
output In round numbers as 2 Is to 1. In
118)1, before the repeal of the Sherman law
and at the period of maximum prosperity,
the Americuii sliver product was 58,300,UUU
ounces, worth $T5,41ti,M."i, while the Ameri
can gold product was only l.tUM.SW ounces,
north only t33,175,UU. Last year the
American gold product wa a S.litiD.tiU!
ounces, worth Slti,MW,2i), while the Ameri
can sliver product had fallen, under ad
verse li'Klslation, to 4tS.jl,ir) ounces, worth
only ;RJfv4, ;.".;. if, therefore, we coin
pure Psll'i, the year of maximum anti
silver feeling, with 1W1, we llud that we
have lost $i)1.407,Uii9 In precious mineral
output by reason of the crusade against
silver, not to mention anything about the
dltticultles which our distinguished "sound
money" president and his no less dis
tinguished "sound money" secretary of
the treasury have had to keep the country
on a gold basis, But with every Ameri
can silver mine and every American gold
mine working at its fullest capacity, we
would produce, for an indefinite period,
t'i worth of sliver for every dollar's worth
of gold. The conclusion which I draw
from this fact is that If for any unavoid
able reason we should ever be forced to
choose between gold and silver as a
single standard, we, might better choose
silver than gold, because we have more
of It.
This Is, however, somewhat aside from
my iurpose. It Is my belief that the
American people can as well establish a
financial system of their own a8 they could
establish a form of government of their
own or a protective tariff system of their
own. In doing this I would consider
American Interests first. Just as we aim
to do in our protective tnriff system. The
objection generally raised to free and
unlimited silver coinage Is that If we
should adopt that at a ratio of 16 to 1, the
silver cf the whole world would be poured
In upon us and we should be deluged with
50-cent dollars. Senator Sherman. In Octo
ber, iw:t. estimated this possible influx
uH:i.Sil.(HI0.iMW. Suchnn Inundation, very ob
viously, would be most undesirable. There
fore 1 would solve that part of the prob
lem by putting such a tariff on all forms
of Imported silver that by the time It had
once got through the custom house It
would be worth as much as our gold.
There would then be no object to any for
eigner in sending silver to the 1'nlted
States, for he could make nothing cut of
It. That done, I would enact a law giving
the holder of American silver bullion the
riRht to have that bullion coined free into
standard dollars, at a ratio to gold of 16
to 1. said holder to take the dollars awav
when coined, or to receive in lieu thereof
silver certificates redeemable In silver
alone. I Justify this proposition by as
serting that the amount of money thus
coined would no more than supply the
country with a circulation keeping pace
with its rtoady growth; and that It would
be only fair compensation to the Ameri
can silver producing Interests for the un
Justlosswhichhasbcen Inflicted upon them
by the demonetisation of silver. And, al
though the temporary effect mlsht be to
enrich the owners of American silver, that
result would In my Judgment prove small
compared with the enrichment which n
prudent expansion of our currency along
this line would bring to tho great mass
of our people. Petter an artificially en
riched ellve'J mine-owner In Colorado,
which Is In the United States, than an ar
tificially enriched morlgase-liolder in Lon
don, England, or Hamburg, Germany.
It it II
Our present per capita circulation is $21,
to be inatheinatlcally exact, $:'1.53. The
country every year gains l.OuO.UUO In popu
lation, but gains comparatively nothing
In circulation. As a mater of fact, treas
ury statistics show that In the last two
years the circulation has shrunk to the
extent of llG-'.ttiD.iHMl when, even according
to the gold standard advocates, It should,
to keep pace with the population, have
increased J42,O0e,00O, thus giving in effect a
total contraction excoedlng )2i)D,ftuo,OOU at
a time when the depressed condition of
business, newly aggravated by Democrat
ic incapacity in adjusting the national rev
enues, could HI endure such a pinching
of the pulse of trade. To maintain the.
present per capita would absorb .'l.OOO.UQO
silver dollars each year. I hold, however,
that a per capita circulation of fcfi Is not
enough for the richest (In natural re
sources) nation In the world, whose great
est development Is yet to come. We could
have ii or even $41 per capita and be
none the worse off. Was It not the Repub
lican mate platform of 1893 which declared
In favor of the "expansion of the circulat
ing medium of the country until the same
shall amount to $4" per capita?" The dif
ference between $21 and $4D per capita
would allow for the coinage of 399,0nO,00O
additional silver dollars, without allow
ing anything for the yearly growlh In
population., It will be observed that 1
say sifter dollars and not gold dollars, for
the simple reason that every ounce of gold
produced In the world toduy goes, not to
the mints, but Into the arts. It Is upon
silver or else upon credit pnper money
tlwt the people of the United States must
rely If they would huve an expanding cur
rency kftplng pace with their growth and
needs. T beg of my gold single standard
friends to consider this fact with care,
and thm to decide which they would pre
fer biiieulllsni (that Is to say, gold and
silverworklng together4 as one automatic
standard or fiat money.
II 11,11'
I come now to the most Important
fta,re of my plan, which I define by as
serlng that the free coinage of protected
American silver, minus the portion which
wuld Inevitably be diverted Into the do
nestle arts, probably l!0 pet) cent, of the
hule output, would force the creditor
fit Ions uf Kurope to remonetlze silver by
Ancerted action. I reach this conclusion
.ii the following fashion: Under a pro
tective tariff tho balance of trade hns
uniformly been In favor of the United
Unites, in 1W2 It was $llic,0iiu,niio In round
iiumuiTs; in lew. u year or roreign depres
sion, it was nearly $7u.U(i0.pili). It Is prob
ably safe to .estimate It Indefinitely nt
IHKi.fHKW.oOO per annum (und with nn ex
panding bimetallic currency quickening
productive Industry in this country anil
in turn swelling our export trade It would
li my Judgment, be more likelv to In
crense to D.OOO.ond and even $300,
uoo.uuo a year than to fall be
low ino.(JO.0riO.) Tfils balance of trade is
payable in gold, and under tho tariff law
proposed a moment ago eould tie paid only
In gold. Please bear this f.ict fn mind
for It Is the key to the whole situation.
And remember, also, that while It la true
our annual Interest debt to Europe Is ap
proximately $31)0,000.001), which might Mn
to wine out this cuh balance In our favor.
that debt Is paid In the fruits of productive
.rapacity in tnis country, whlcn needs omy
the quickening Impulse of an elastic cur
rency to be started upon a period of un
exampled development. We havo the soil;
we have the natural wealth; we have the
workmen. All that we lack is the money
10 eei me macninery cr new production in
to motion. 1 think ll not unsafe nor da.
lug to assume thut the growth in our ex
ports within a year after the admission of
American sliver to free, protected coin
age wculd wipe out our ur.nual Interest
debt and leave the cash trade balance still
iiiio.-jcuw a year In our favor. If It did
not. we should be none the worse pa.
If It did, see how we would gain!
II II II
In the whole world today there la onlv
about $J.vuu.mu.o.Ki in gold coiu some au
thorities nay n.smomi.uoo and some J4.5W.
iigo.uuo, but these estimates are believed
uy other and equally trustworthy
authority to include much gold
not coined, but made up Into
Jewelry, etc.) of which almost one-fourtii
or. to be moro precise, from tuoo.OOD.OuO
to s.'..uoo.i)oD-u already In the United
States. Suppose Kurope lost $100.ouo.HJO
or ner gold every year, through the squar
ing of her trade accounts with the United
States. How many years would It take
for Euro-ie to discover that It could no
longer rest content on a gold basis with
her limited gold stock being constantly
drained to America? How soon would It
be before Europe, in self defense, would
have to coine back again to. bimetallism?
loes It not seem as If the I nlted States
under the plan outlined above, would lit
erally hold the trump handT And If In
addition, we should adopt Turn Reed's
suggestion of retaliatory duties on gold
stundard nations, would It not be, with
determined effort, a comparatively easy
thing to force an International bimetallic
agreement, and to preserve that agree'
ment when dice formed? Let It be borne
In mind that these suggestions are offered
In the belief that unless the American peo
ple soon take steps to add to the volume
or sound money In circulation among
tnem. consequences will happen more sen
ous to the masses than can possibly be In
volved In the experimental adoption of the
remedy Just proposed. With silver cut
off from the mints in any connection, save
that of representative or token coinage;
with a secretary of the treasury dully
canceling greenbacks by the hundred thou
sands and issuing nothing In their stead;
nnd with the very paltry sum of gold nec
essary for the preservation at par of the
gold token currency subject at any mo
ment to withdrawal from the treasury tor
speculative export, (it having cost the gov
ernment $262.Utiu.uuo of debt In a single year
to keep its gold reserve Intact, not to
sneak of the accruing luterst) we take It
that something will soon have to be done
In the direction of relief. The question is,
