By the bye, when does the Fcranton Democracy jmrpore ratifying tha Chi cago nominations? No Pardon for Birdsley. Th report Is that Governor Hastings Is disinclined to favor the extension of clemency to J.iltn Bardsley. If thtit be his attitude. It has much to sustain it. Conceding that Bardsley was to some extent the victim of vicious precedents, the fact nevertheless remains that his offense was a serious crime apainst the commonwealth, and one which for wholesome exemplary purposes calls for thorough punishment. Personally we feel sorry for Bardsley. But can rersonal sympathy safely be permitted to outweigh grave considerations of pub lic justice? Is the fact that Bardsley, In his individual aspect, was and Is a jrood fellow sufficient to warrant the condonation of his large embezzlement of public funds? At a time when the processes ot jus tice In cases Involving the possibility of political Inlluence are under nir.re or less suspicion, would it be wise to haz ard tho charg of discrimination In a cstsc so widely watched ns Is this case f BarJalry? Should the tusra fact that many eminent persons, once friends of BatcUIcy, have augmented that he now ha accorded freedom upon the plea that b harj already suffered greatly be ac cepted 63 of more vital consequence ta.ia V.'.i fact that such a pardon would caure a widespread weakening of faith in tho impartiality of our Judicial sys tem In the case of Influential offenders? Wc think not. rinally. It deserves to be added that the board of pardons has In recent years shewn altogether too much leniency to regularly and fairly convicted crimi nals. The theoretical purpose of the board 13 to correct mistakes and to af ford an opportunity for the due consid eration of belated mitigating evidence. It was never the Intention of the fram rs of the present constitution that the board should resolve Itself Into a soft mark for ambitious attorneys and emol lient sympathizers with crime. The board stands already under serious pub lie disapproval. If a popular vote could be taken on Its abolition, the proposition to abolish It would, In our Judgment, carry by a large majority. The addition to Its numerous acta of mistaken clem ency of such a recommendation as Is be sought In the Interest of John Bardsley would drive a big hole through what little grasp It yet has on public favor. The Wilkes-Banre News-Dealer takes the Tribune's estimate of the next elec toral vote and by appropriating the doubtful states and three or four of the sure McKInley states, figures out a Bryan victory. There Is no law against this kind of thing. One man's guess is as legal as another's. At the same time we will wager a slice of watermelon against a glass of red lemonade that th editor of the New-Dealer la hlg own heart, doesn't expect Bryan to come within forty miles of an election. Taylor's directory for 1S9G. which has Just been Issued, gives the population of Scranton at 106,003. This showing Is a trifle smaller than we c-xuected: but It nevertheless contrasts favorably with the 73.213 population accorded to us by the Eleventh census. The probability Is that Scranton will open the next cen tury with close to 130,000 inhabitants. The coming four years of McKInley prosperity will be likely to work won ders In tills city. "The money or the I'nited States, und every kind or form of it, whether of payer, silver or gold, must be as good as the best in the world. It must uot only be current at it lull lace value ut home, but it must be rotinted nt par in any and every commercial center of the globe. The dollar paid to the farmer, the wagc-cmucr und the pensioner must continue forever equul in purchasing uud debt-paying power to the tlollur paid to auy gov eminent crrtlitor."".lcKiiilcy iu His Speech of Aeccptunee. We Judge from Its editorial utter ances thut the Scranton Times ls un equivocally fur free trade. Is that so? A Significant Straw. One of the few really Important "straws" tending to sliuw the direction of the iKiiitkul wind Is supplied by the New Yoik Journal, a paper which sup ports Bryan. It recently took a poll of a few more than 10.000 voters In New York city dlstilbuteJ through all the ordinary vocations. U found that of the 5.1'tij Republican) who expressed their Intention, CSJ said they would vote for Bryan, while of the 4.437 Demo crat:? Interviewed, 9:!8 declared they would oK- for McKInley. As tin: Washington ftar points out. these figures show that a fraction of over "U per cent, of the Democrats in terviewed will vote for the Utpubllcan nominee, while a fraction less than 10 per cent, of the Kepubllcuns Interviewed will vote for the Demociatlo-Popullstic candidate. Apply these proportions tj the latest vote of New Y'cuk on the presidency. In 1W2 Harrison received 609.SjO votes In Use state of New Y'oik and Cleveland C.M.bGS Votes. Taking from Harrison's vote 10 per cent of it nnd adding to it 20 per cent of the Cleveland vote pluci-s the Republican strength on the basis at 67.:JSS, and ap plying tho same process to the other side the Democratic strength becomes CS4.S30, giving an apparent plurality In the state for the Republicans of 94,558. Of course, the city conditions predomi nated in this tally, and It may be that later efforts up-country will producedlf ferent proportions. As some of the vo ters thus canvassed came from New Jersey, it Is fair to take a count of the Vote of that state In the same manner, and the result Is an uppureiit plu rality for McKInley of 22,230. These llgures coming from a source friendly to the Democratic nominee, make be taken as at leust fair to Bryan. But the conditions of the campaign In New Y'ork and New Jersey are such that while a goodly percentage of tho disaffected Republicans will during the progress of the canvass be won back Into line, the number of bolting Demo crats will bo likely to grow. It la evi dent from the speech of the leading ad ministration officials at Washington that the whole force of the Cleveland following In Democracy will from this time onward bo massed as far as pos sible In favor of McKInley. As the 'campaign progresses the large commer cial and financial Interests which have their headquarters In New York will become aroused to redoubled efforts In behalf of the nominee of sound money. Consequently, Instead of a majority of 100.000 In New York state and one of 23,000 In New Jersey, McKInley will be more likely to have 300,000 In New York and 73,000 In New Jersey. The battle, in any event, will be fought in the middle west and south; In such states us Delaware, Marylund, Virginia, Wert Virginia, Kentucky, In diana, Michigan, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, and the Dakotas. And until the war once fairly opens In those states, pra dlctions will have little serious value. A very convenient and useful HttW document has just been issued by the Colliery Engineer company of this city. It contains the unabridged text of the laws governing uuthraclte mining In this state, and copies of It may be had for the asking. A better knowledge of the mine laws will do the community good. A Hastcrly Book. We commend to every reader ot The Tribune a book for which a canvass of the city and surrounding territory Is now being made. We refer to the vol ume entitled "Protection and Prosper ity," prepared by Hon. Oeorge B. Cur tlss, of Blnghumton, N. Y'., and pub lished by the Pan-American Publishing company, 111 Fifth avenue. New York. There Is widespread concurrence of eminent testimony to the effect that this is the ablest, the most exhaustive and the most accurate treatise bearing on the relation of tariffs to business suc cess yet published. The volume coin prises nearly 900 large octavo pages, and every page contains historical and statistical Information of well-nigh In dispensable value to students of eco nomic questions nnd to citizens who de sire to be Informed upon this recurring Issue In American politics. The book, however, Is not a campaign document In Intention, although It Is an Incom parable one In effect. Jt Is a philosophic treatment of the tariff question In all Industrial nations, with each historic tntement relnforcel by proof drawo from unquestionable oftlclal sources. An William McKInley says In his Intro duction to the volumeand beside his testimony there Is also written Indorse ment from Governor Morton and Speaker Reed; I recall no work that even attempts to cover the Held marked out by Mr. Curiiss. He has undoubtedly curried the statistical Information farther than any other writer, and embodied In It a aeries of tables taken from odlelal sources which will be of per manent value. It Is ene of the stronceat presentations of the views of those'nho believe that the question of finding em ployment for the people in diversified In dustries, of elevating citizenship and Im proving home life, lies at the base of the eclence of economics. It should Le In -.!ie hamU of every Intelligent voter who Is called upon to decide between free trals and protection, or who desires to base his decision on the balance sheet of nations. To attempt in detail a review of this exhaustive work would take us far be yond the limits of this article. Although It is a volume of convenient reference, with ample Indexes to facilitate the finding of special information for special purposes, and on that account exceed ingly useful to writers or speakers on the tariff question, It is really worthy to be read and studied as a systematic and harmonious exposition of the phil osophy of protection. It is not often thut we receive u book deserving of un qualified and enthusiastic Indorsement; but this is such a, book, and we are en tirely willing to stand sponsor for Its introduction to Scruntonlana. The Salt Lake Tribune urges Utah Republicans to support Bryan but to tie Ills hands if elected by means of a Pro tection congress. Tt fails, however, to explain how tho handful of bolting Re publican silvcrites are to do this as against the overwhelming Democratic and I'cpulistlo demand for free trade. The clear fact is that the election of Bryan would mean both free silver and free trade. No Protectionist can work for one without inviting the other. Even Ctpta!n Adrian Anson, the pri mate of base ball, bolts the nomination of Bryan and declares for McKInley. "Free silver," he say, "is like trying to smash the cover off the ball when the bases ere full and orily one man Is out. It's all right If you find the sphere, but the chances are sixteen to one in favor of a double play which will prevent a score and retire the side. It isn't base ball to take such risks." Y'oung Sewall has come out against his father, and so has Ignatius Don nelly. But their reasons are different. Donnelly's complaint is that Sewall, pere. Is a millionaire. The son's griev ance is that the father is a Democrat. The son, so far as we can learn, is en tirely reconciled tu the old gentleman's plutocracy. One year ago the New Y'ork Times predicted that the free silverites would name one-third of the delegates to the St. Louis convention and about two fifths of the delegates to the Chicago convention. They got one-eighth of the one and two-thirds of the other. If the speeches which Mr. Bryan has made since bis nomination, are fair samples of what may be expected from him during the ensuing campaign, his eandidaoy will shrink so that by No vember it will take a microscope to see it. The free silver experiment, even If begun, would speedily fall. But It would take this country many sad years to recover from the dlsonangement which the launching of that ej;perlment would effect. Sensible citizenship will not take eo needless a risk. As he recalls how during tho past six years these same bolting Democrats unrelentingly reviled and lampooned him, Sir. McKInley must realize the wonderful Justice of time. The Philadelphia Times nominates for bolting standard-bearers Hill and Watterson. Why not make It Cleve land and McClurc? The trouble is that tho party which traflicks In the mob spirit cruates peril which It cannot control. Mr. Bryan's greatest danger is his loo-ready jawbone. JUST WHAT IT MEANS. Among many persons there Is yet a lack of cli-ar understanding us to the precise meaning ot the free silver movement In Its various details. To all such we rec ommend a reading of the following edlto rial from the Philadelphia Record, a Dem ocratic paper which refuses to accept tho Chicago platform. Free silver colnuge, it says, means: (1) That the silver dollar, containing i71U grulns of lino metal, shall be equal to the gold dollar, containing 2.1.:! grains of gold, anil shall be un unlimited legal tender for aa debts, public and pri vate. (2) That any one possessing silver bullion. oM silver plate or spoons, or any thing containing silver, would have the right to take these articles to the United Slates mints und have them coined Into silver dollars, instead of being pj to 1, the actual ratio Is nenrer ftl to 1 between the silver and the gold dollar. That is to say, the nn tal in the silver dollur, so far from being worth one hundred cents in gold. Is worth about lirty-three cents In gold. The holder or u silver dollar can obtain a gold dollar for It because the government is still ubie, by an expensive process of borrowing, to maintain the re lation of 1C to 1 between silver and gold. But after free and unlimited coinage the sliver dollar would be worth no more than the metal that Is In it, since the govern ment would no longer have Uie power to maintain the existing relation of Hi to 1 be tween the two coinages. H H A correspondent asks what would be tho effect or free coinage upon the savings banks and their depositors. The effect would be the same with the deposits In savings banks as with all other money. The capacity of the bauks to pay their de positors would not be affected; but no sooner should a congress and a president be elected to enact a free sliver law thun payments In gold would ceuse. Every man having gold would hold It for pre mium, and would pay sliver dollars, or notes redeemable wlih silver and having the snmo worth. The sliver dollar, In stead of being worth one hundred cents In nold, would be worth no more than the bullion that ia la it. Commodities that are now bought for a dollar would cost nearly two dollars. The holders of a cer tificate of deposit for $100 In a savings bank would be able to purchase with It no more than he can now buy for 03. It Is shown by the official returns that there kira ,S"3.(jli) depositors In the savings banks or ifie United Staes, l aving depos its to the amount of $1,810,5117,000. our correspondent can. estimate for himself the extent ot the confiscation and dla- tress on this account alone that would fol low the free rofnage of silver. t .11 !' il Another correspondent learns that many farnrrrs who favor fre coinage expect to sell their products abroad for gold, nnd then obtain for every gold dollar two fifty cent sliver dollars with which to pay their debts. No Intelligent farmer can make any such calculation. Under free coinage American farmers would receive, the same as now, for their staple products, whether shipped abroad or consumed at heme, the price paid in foreign markets measured by gold. There is no artirlce of government or magic by which this gold could be Increased in value by converting It Into cheap silver dollars. But under free coinage ns demanded by t.le Chlcugo platform the foreign as well as the Amer ican owners of silver, whether in bullion or in plat or ol 1 spoons, would have an Immense advantage over the non-owners in that they could take the depreciated metal to the United States mints and have (t converted Into standard dollars at double its real worth. But: there ure some advocates of free coinage who Insist thut it would raise the value of silver to the relation of Pj to 1 with gold. That is as much as to suy that the price of woolen cloths, of cotton prints would rise with the Increase or the facilities for then- pro duction. There are many silverites, how. ever, whose interest in this question would entirely cease If they believed that free colnuge would have the effect of raising the market vulue of silver to the ratio of 1(! to 1 with gold. What they want 1 de predated currency; and they never gave themselves any concern for free eolnege until silver hud heavily depreciated In the world's markets. !l I! !l SI ill another reader calls attention to the oft-repcutcd complaints that there Is not enough money In the lanj to pay the farmers decent prices for their products, uud thut this scarcity of money Is due to the guld standard, tor the equitable niul.n- 1 tenHiice of which the mines of the world cannot produce sufficient sold. This nr. gument of the silverites deserves, uud will receive, more consideration thun can be given to It In these brief replies. But it has been shown over and over again that there Is more money In the country per head than there was when wheat was treble Us present price, and that there is no other land III the world except France In which the currency per head of popu. lation Is as abundant as it Is in the United States. It has also been shown that the difference ii the quantity or currency per head In two countries or like industrial conditions causes ni difference In the prices of commodities. If the quantity of money determined rates of wages and the prices or farm products and other com modities the level would be made higher In France, with Its greater ubundance of currency, than In Great Britain; but the reverse 1 the actual case. I! II II As to the sllverl te pretension that tho Increased production of gold is hardly suf ficient to meet the Increased need of It for plugging teeth the offlclul statistics dem onstrate that the annual gold production of the world is greater now than In any former purled, having risen from $lW,l(i3, DoO In 1S8U to lSi,ti20.0o0 In 1S14. At the same time Dr. Soetheer, the highest author ity (and an advocate of modified Interna tional bimetallism), has shown that the yearly use or gold In tho ails and many, factu'res dots not exceed $3.OWi.(H0, or about one-third of the yearly pru'dnction. Tho fact Is that under Bound systems of finance and exchange the existing store of gold and the yearly accumulations uro more than FUtflcient for the transaction of the world's business. As we write au thentle news comes of tho discovery of rich mines of gold In the Orange Fre state. The cry of the great scarcity of c-old, and of the groat decline of prices In consequences of it, like the rest of the Populist assertions, is totully wuntlng in tho essential element of truth. WOl'LD HKLIKVF. him. From the Washington Star. Mr. Bryan has already said that he do?s not deslro a second term. His youthful, ness would leave the country with a se rious problem on Its hands In the event of his election. In thil republic the .presi dency is regarded as the crowning achieve, ment or a career. Beyond that no man can asplro. Mr. Bryan would be only a little over forty years old at his retire ment. At that time many rtfen nre only beginning their sericus endeavors for suc cess. He could not be expected to retire to rural seclusion. It is Impossible to rele gate a man to the back-number class at such an age and yet it Is dilllcult to see what there would be for Mr. Bryan to do except to linger with energies and ambi tion alert but Ineffectual, chafing because there are no new worlds to conquer. Mr. McKlnley's election would not only uphold the national credit and deal a Btunnlng blow to the populistlc-anarchlstio doctrine, but It would relievo Mr. Bryan of 1ho above suggested painful, personal pre dicament.
