SCRANTON, MAY 20, 1S96. Hio Tribune l tho only Kcpubllean dally In Lackawanna County. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET. Congrcssincn-nt-l.orgc, GAl.t SUA A. GROW, of Susquehanna, S.t.Ml t:L A. DAVEXl'OKT, of Eris. Flection Pay, Nov. 3. Mr. Torrey's plan for the consolida tion of tax-receiverships cannot go Into effect too noun to please the residents of third-class cities. The present scat tering pysrtm of divided jurisdiction and multiplied annoyances Is about tne worst thing of Us kind on record. Reviewing the Cost. Seldom have the fruits of Democratic misrule been more formidably set forth In words than has been done In the Just published annual report of the di rectors of the Philadelphia Manufac turers' club, a composition evidently the work of the club's accomplished secretary, Charles Heber Clarke. Nat urally, the Manufacturers' club advo cates protection to American Indus tries, and just as naturally It falls to approve of the Democratic party's recent disastrous attempt to overthrow the doctrine and the system of protec tion. "The Influence of the Wilson tariff upon American Industry Is Indicated," the report says, "by comparing the statistics for 1S94 with those for 1S95. The comparison supplies demonstra tion of the fact that our own business has Buffered in almost all directions. The chief exception appears In the Item of exports of domestic merchandise, which were valued at nearly the same figures, $837,000,000, for the two years. The exports of agricultural products, however, declined from $573,634,383 to $545,714,375, 'a decrease of almost live per cent, under the operation of a tariff act which was passed with professions of extreme solicitude for the Interests of American farmers. The Imports of all merchandise rose from $670,312,911 to $S01,663,490,an enlargement of 18'i per cent. Much of the material thus brought In, however, Is upon the free list. "To ascertain the effect of the Im ports upon home Industry we must con aider only the dutiable imports. These expanded from $92,941,008 to $416,853, 327, an increase of about 40 per cent. Of all the Industries smitten by the Wit son act the business of woolen manu facture, ever the subject of particular hostility from free traders, suffered most. The Imports swelled from $17, 336,164 to $60,319,301, or nearly 350 per cent. Meantime, removal of the wool duties had the effect to reduce the number of American sheep from 47, 273,553 In 1893 to 38,298,783 In 1896, a loss of nine million sheep and while the number decreased 19 per cent, the value fell from $125,909,264 to $05,107,735, a shrinkage of nearly DO per cent. The number of sheep In this country now la no larger than It was in 1S63, 28 years ago." These figures, the report takes the precaution to explain, appear In a report issued by the department of agriculture In March of this year. At to the financial results of the Dem ocratic experiment the report Is equal ly decided. It considers that to estab lish the havoc wrought in this direc tion by Mr. Cleveland's pet Idea of tariff reform there Is need only to state the single fact that while, under the preceding administration, in the years 1891-92-93, the public indebtedness was decreased by $245,000,000, It has been In creased during the last fifteen months to the extent of $262,000,000. In other words, the tariff reformers have re stored all of the burden that was taken off In the period referred to and made an Increase of $17,000,000. "It is re called," the report continues: that tho president, writing In 1888 to accept a nomination to tho presidency, found Mie existing surplus in the treasury a griev ance of no mean proportions. He declared that It menaced 'the prosperity of the peo ple;' It conduced to 'gross and seandnloua extravagance;' It 'withdrew money from the circulating medium of the country and put upon the nation a heavy load of 'unjust taxation.' An opportunity Is now afforded for profitable consideration of the relative value of the policy which produces a Burplus and that which cro. utes a deficiency. While the surplus was In the treasury the people hud high pros perity, which has vanished with the sur plus. The extravagance which was de nounced as 'gross und Bcandalous' three yean ago Involved the expenditure of pub lic money for profitable public purposes. Now, much of that money will go, for years to come, for payment of Interest upon the new debt, Involving taxation that Is unjust because It is unnecessary. juruiiiime, u i iiui unimportant to ou serve that the president's alurm lest the circulating medium should be contracted by the system permitting a surplus to exist has not extended Itself so far as to forbid the contraction of the currency under his system to the extent of $162,000,000 with in two years. Thus, "while the revenues declined, the import enlarged and the public treasury suffered in company with the wealth-producers of tho nation. If the purpose of the framers of the Wilson act had been to inflict hurt upon their own nation that other nations might havltho advantages lost to us, It is dif ficult to percelvo what Instrumentality differing from the Wilson bill they cctuld have employed." However, as the re port philosophically and justly ob serves, in conclusion,' "the best of all teachers la experience. The American people for two years have made an experimental test of a low tariff, and they have before their eyes the demon stration that It operates, to Impoverish them and to enrich their European rivals. Almost all the Ills from which nations Surfer are the consequence of the application of false and delusive theories to the business of government. This nation has paid dearly for the proof that the theory is unsound which teaches that a country should not shel ter Its industries from destructive for eign competition, and the belief may be expressed that Americans of this gen eration at least, will regard the evi dence as conclusive." Notwithstanding the Scranton board of trade's action In pigeonholing an In vitation to send a representative to the National Non-partisan Commercial Tariff convention which is to meet In Detroit June 2. that assemblage prom ises to be a large one. Arrangements have already been made for the enter tainment of 1.000 delegates, and twice that attenuancc Is expected. The con vention probably will not make much headway toward taking the tariff ques tion out of politics, but it will at least be a source of harmless pleasure. Immediate Action Demanded. Cine of the arguments which Is being used to prevent this congress from passing an effective law to restrict un desirable Immigration Is that It would be Injudicious to move in this matter until after the presidential election. Nonsense! What party would It hurt? Not the Republican, which In any cir cumstances, Is bound to win; and not the Democratic, which has no show for success anyway. It might possibly hurt some of the small-fry crank parties, which are recruited mainly from Illit erates; but the present congress Is un der no obligations to protect thorn. No, the time has come when this growing evil of unlit Immigration must be attended to. The sensible masses, both native-born and naturalized, de mand relief from tho unchecked Inpour of aliens who bring only trouble In their wake. The stream must be dammed. Self-preservation demands that. It has been Ignored too long. Those who value American institutions, whether they bo American citizens by birthright or by adoption, will stand by the con gressmen who move straight to the mark of their obvious duty In this mat ter and throw considerations of dema goglsm to the winds. The people of the United States are entitled to know what their president Intends to do for Cuba. If he will not volunteer the Information, they should exact It. In Good Company. Those who are disposed to quarrel with Major McKlnley for having once favored the double standard evidently overlook the fact that his position In those earlier years was that of the Re publican party. If he was wrong then he Btood In good company. In Febru ary, 1878, James O. Blaine, whose Re publicanism even Tom Piatt would have to concede said: "I believe the struggle now going cn In this country and In other countries for a single gold stand ard, would, If successful, produce wide spread disaster In and throughout the commercial world. The destruction of silver and establishment of gold as a sole unit of value must have a ruinous effect upon all forms of property except those Improvements which yield a fixed return In money. It Is impossible to strike silver out of existence as money without results which will prove dis tressing to millions and disastrous to tens of thousands. I believe gold and silver coin to be the money of the con stitution; indeed, the money of the American people anterior to the con stitution, which the great organic law recognized as quite Independent of Its own existence. No power was con ferred on congress to declare either metal should not be money. Congress has, In my judgment, no power to demonetize silver any more than to de monetize gold." But even earlier than that In fact, way back in 1792 Alexander Hamilton, who has ben regarded the father of the present Republican party although he died half a century before It was born, gave utterance to these words: "Upon the whole, It seems to be most advisable not to attach the unit exclusively to either of the metals, because this cannot be jlone effectively without destroying the office and character of one of them as money and reducing it to the situa tion of mere merchandise. To annul the use of either of the metals as money is to abridge the quantity of circulating medium and is liable to all the objec tions which arise from a comparison of the benefits of a full with the evils of a scanty circulation." Without quoting further from Major McKlnley's great predecessors in the leadership of Republicanism, not one of whom has until recently, favored the gold single standard, nor citing the fact that so late as 1892 the Republi can party In national convention Itself declared for bimetallism, we wish to scrutinize just one other eminent Re publican's record on this point. If there Is one man who today stands secure In the confidence of the gold Btandard lst8 it is Senator John Sherman, of Ohio. He surely Is not "wobbly." One cannot accuse him of "pandering to the silver inflationists" or trying to pose as a straddler on the money question. Yet John Sherman, the paragon of financial soundness, while secretary of the treas ury In the cabinet of President Hayes, wrote to W. S. Oroesbeck, of Cincinnati, O., these curious words: "During the monetary conference in Paris I was strongly In favor of the single standard of gold and wrote a letter which you will And In the proceedings of that con ference stating my views. At that time the wisest of us did not anticipate the sudden fall of silver, or rather the rise of gold, that has occurred. Other argu ments showing the dangerous effect upon Industry by dropping one of the precious metals from the standard of value outweigh, in my mind, all theoret ical objections to the bimetallic sys tem." We mention these little circumstances at this time not with any wish to chill the enthusiasm of those who advocate the told single standard and are Arm Jn the belief that the double standard is only an irldtsoent dream. We do not venture to dlsDUte the wisdom of the majority which to now fast setupon the political crucifixion of all who are even suspected of cherishing a secret hope for the ultimate remonetixatkm of sliver. Our purpose is not argumentative or disputations. It is merely philanthrop ic It la to make easier the lot of the able gentleman In Canton whose other wise sweet cu? of happiness Is being needlessly embittered for him by men who seem to forget that If McKlnley once befriended bimetallism, he did no more than was done at the time by the overwhelming majority of Republican leaders. Was it a crime for him to have lived and learned ? Congressman Stone wants Uncle Sam to substitute bright aluminum pennies for the present ugly copper cents. The suggestion is worthy of unanimous ap proval. Gold bugs and sliver cranks can heartily join hands In favor of it. The Bicycle as a School Appliance. An Interesting educational experi ment has been planned by thirty pupils in the architectural course at Harvard. They intend soon to set sail for Europe for a three months' summer term of schooling under the direction of their professor, and when they reach Europe each one in the party Is to ride a wheel, so that the school will literally be a moving procession In search of knowl edge. The Itinerary as planned con templates a massing of forces in Lon don, on June 15. After four days spent In sight-seeing In and near the me tropolis, the calvacade will start awheel for Southampton, and after crossing the channel it will proceed awheel to the chief cathedral cities on the continent, making due study of architectural fea tures on the way. The idea Is manifestly novel and de lightful, and it opens up possibilities in education difficult to bound. Why should not the wheel be similarly util ized in teaching local geology, geog raphy and botany? Why should the pleasant days of late spring and early fall be passed within stuffy school roomn when the great university of na ture beckons to a tuition at first hand? If the use of the wheel continues to grow as rapidly as It has grown during the past twelve-month. It will soon be entirely feasible to organize In almost every higher grade public school a bi cycle class for mounted Instruction In the beauties and wonders of out-door science. Warner Miller may not be Thomas C. riatt's equal at the dark lantern tricks of the game, but he evidently knows a heap more about the wishes and senti ments of the plain people. Once let Governor Morton drop T. C. Piatt and the days of the Tlogan as a political monarch will soon be num bered. Such a contingency Is not Im probable. President McKlnley will be less pop. ulnr In England than President Cleve land lias been, but he will possess a de cidedly better grip at home. Possibly Quay's reported Intention to 50 to McKlnley was reached In view f McKlnley's apparent reluctance to come to Quay. A PLEAJTUBA. From a Letter by James H. Embry In tho W ushlngton .Post. Three hundred years ago the small power of Spain, only four times as largu as the state of New York, and only a little larger than California, ruled almost alisclutely the western hemisphere. Old, worn ami broken from the long struggles with other Kuropeun powers, one by one, her rich colonies In this hemisphere, re sisting her tyranny and oppression, have thrown olT her yoke and have taken their plaees among tho nations. Her last ef forts are now directed, with the greed of the miser for his gold, und with the fe rocity of the savage for his foe, toward holding In her grasp the Island of Cuba, the fairest of all her possessions in the western world. The bloody scenes In the beautiful island near our shores, and al most within our gaze, excite all the re publics of the two continents, but the struggle most deeply concerns thu people of this nation, who are watching with a feeling of Intense Interest and solicitude the he roc efforts of the Cuban patriots to secure liberty for themselves und their posterity. That feeling lias been voiced by the representatives of the stutes and the representatives of the people In con. gress assembled, and they mean and In tend that it shall Mud exnresslon in the authoritative mandate of the nation. The remorseless monarchy of Spain, hitherto holding in its llrm grasp the fruitful and fertile Island, has for more than seventy yeurs been wringing the very life blood from the Cuban people by the Imposition of cruel taxes. Its power in Cuba has been absolute and its rule arbitrary and despotic. It has given the Cubans no voice or representation whatever In the affairs of government. Spanish tyrants, stran gers to Cuban soil and Cuban homes, have driven them with the lash and have com pelled this long suffering people to pa millions to maintain Spanish oltlcluls In luxury and an army to oppress and wr-jst from them every dollar earned by their hard and constant toll. The tyrunny of great Britain, for only a few years, against which our fathers rebelled, did not compare for one moment with Spain's bru tal tyranny for centuries In this fair isl and. a . . , , H Jl II Spain's cruelties have grown with the centuries, and today she only wants the opportunity to repeat the crimes and wrongs that have blackened her history for 400, years. That Spanish-born Chris tlan priest and kind-hearted philanthrop ist, Las Casas. who was the companion of Columbus In his voyages, tells In graphic words the story of Spanish cruelties to wards the defenseless Inhabitants of Cuba and her sister islands more than three centuries ago. He was an eye-witness of the scene, and did all in his power to check the flow of blood. Nothing In the most barbarous ages of the world's history surpasses the fearful picture he presents of the cruel and unprovoked tortures and murders of millions of men, women and children by merciless Spaniards, like so many demons reveling and rioting in their blood. He was a witness to the heart rending scene of over 6,000 children perishing In a few months, because they were left without succor and protection, their parents being condemned to toil in Spanish mines. The hyenas of the jun. gles and the vultures of the air wojld have been appalled at the deeds of blood Serpetrated by the living demons, called paniards, of the sixteenth century. This cruel and blood-thirsty conduct of Spain continued through all the annals of her South American dependencies, until the oppressed people threw off the yoke and rejoiced "over the broRen fitters of the colonial bondage, which for 300 years had monopolized their treasure and their re sources, and blasted the green beauty of a climate rich with nature's blessings," Early In the century one of the most brilliant of American writers, George D. Prentice, told of the struggles and the tri umphs of the Spanish colonies, and In tho following recital of wrongs, that shocked civilization, pictured the atroci ties of Spain: "Spain had carried on the wnr with her Insurgent colonies In a spirit of demoniac -vengeance. The aged patriot, the unoffending female, and the infant at the bosom of Its mother had been offered up in one Indiscriminate sacri fice. Her armies had manifested a bar. barlty unheard of In the annals of crime. The temples of religion had been polluted and the gray hairs of tha priests had been drenched In blood at the very foot of the altar. Cities had been pillaged and con sumed, while their Inhabitants of one sex had been massacred the armed and the unarmed together and those of the other had been given over to the licentious passions of a brutal soldiery. Wherever the enemy had moved over the beautiful firovlnces of La Plata desolaton had been eft behind them, as It the earth itself had been scorched and blackened by the fiery tread of demons." Does the world's history furnish another picture as horri ble and aa revolting In the tragedies of na tional Spain cannot escape the verdict of history. It stands up to confront her. The living witnesses of the past i-enturlt-s tell the story of her wrongs and crlmw hjw she has erimsoiivd the earth wtth tue blood of the innocent, until it seamed to flow from a perpetual fountain, aa the wailing cries of her myriad victims from fiendish tortures atirred to pity the very hosts of heaven. The evidences are over whelming that in this enlightened age. and under the very shadow of the republlo of this hemisphere, where every citizen ia a freeman, Spain has not Improved her method of government, has not relaxed her severity or abated her tyrannies anu cruelties in the long oppressed Island ot Cuba. Evidence r.iat cannot be denied conies to us that a degraded and beastly Spanish soldiery delibereely put to death fathers, husbands, and brothers, so that unchecked they can outrage mothers, wives and sisters In their last brave efforts for liberty, their ten years of civil war. the Cubans terminated the struggle, upon solemn promisee made by Spain for belter govern ment, and unon the suggestion and advice of this great nation. These promises were never Kept, but have men grossly and constantly violated. This republic .s therefore. In some degree responsible to cuDa ror tne perpetuation ot tne wrong so grievously imposed upon her. The time has come when this republic should not only speak, but act. Every sentiment, not alone of interest, but of duty, of human ity, a righteous cause, struggling against the despotism of the strong, appeals to us to rescue Cuba from her cruel ODores. sors. This nation Is today responsible to tlod and humanity for the fearful scourge or war that is desolating the lertue laian i, and for barbarities that shock the civi lised world, if nations, like individuals. should be called before the bar of Cod to answer for their conduct, and if the sixteen South American republics and Cu ba, the child of the sea. should be sum moned as witnesses to tell of the 400 years of wrong, oppression, and suffering they have endured, by sword und torture, ut the hands of Spain, the voice of almighty God would shake the universe in con. demnatlon of her deeds. Do we owe Bpnln nnv debt of uratitude? When our na tional life was imperiled, and while the echoes of Bumpter's guns were still ringing In our ears, and before a single battle had been fouyht, to manifest her hos tility to this republic she leaped to the front and promptly recognized the Con federates as belligerents. Have not the Cubans met the Spanish hosts in countless battles, and do thev not today hold pos session of three-fourth of their native land? Havo they not manifested a skill, a rourneo. a unltv of heart, and a deter mined purpose, with the sacrifice of homo and loved ones, r.lmost without a parallel In human history, to rree tnemseives irom Hnanish chains, and to Kive to their pos. terity the priceless boon of clvl liberty? Did freedom ever havo truer disciples or more faithful friends, and did tne Chris tian martyrs, of the earlier of later ages, manifest aubllmer fnlth and courage than these brave and heroic islanders? When before in the world s history has a small, undisciplined army, with no resources save what the rich earth yields on their march, met a well-organlzel nnd powerful army, supplied with all the implements of modern warfare, and driven It behind Its shelters of protection? If this nation does not net, and act at once, it treads a steo backward, and retreats from a duty as imperative and sacred as could be im posed uion its honor, its conscience, and its manhood. II II II Let this nation, great and strong, lift the clouds and prepare tne way witn ner blessing and benediction. Let It give no tice to all the world that on the Fourth of July next the one hundred and twentieth anniversary of our Independence it will proclaim in old Independence Hall, the sa ereil sanctuary nnd birth nlni e of freedom. that Cuba shall take her place among the nations and be welcomed into tne sister hood of republics.
