In another column, for the next Republican county convention.

The Importance of this convention Is en hanced bythe fact that It will ehoopo not only candidates for county com missioners nnd auditors, but also a can- dldate to represent tills district In the Fifty-fifth conpress. It would be well to preserve for further reference the table on another page showing the apportionment of delegates. Wllihm E. Russell. To the Democracy of the Enjt, Wil liam Eustis Kussell, whoso startlngly sudden death is chronicled in our news columns, has for several years stood in much the same relation In which Wil liam Jennings Rryan now stands to the more Populirtlo Democracy of the West Mr. Russell locked half n year of belnrj 40 years old. At twenty he had completed a collegiate course nt Har vard; nt US he was chosen mayor of his hntive city, Cambridge, um three years letor he received the Democratic nomi nation for governor of Massachusetts, trite defeat which followed would have extinguished an ordinary career; in his ense It simply accelerated It onward to new triumphs. The following state campaign saw him elected governor; nnd after one re-elcrtlon he retired to take a prominent part In the battle fur the gold standard at Chicago. Had the gold forces won, he and not Hryan might and probably would have been the nominee. The distinguished characteristics of Mr. Russell's public activities in a po litical direction have been 4il9 loftiness of Ideals, his sincerity of purpose and his courage. He was a Democrat whom Republicans could respect. He believed what he said; he fought fairly and in the open, and he shirked no conse quence. Reared within the shadow of Harvard nnd educated within her walls, he was in some things a theorist rather than a utilitarian. The text books lauded free trade as the logical condition in an Ideal republic, and he followed the text bookd. Hla eye could not take In the visible facts which point to Protection as the essential re quisite of a nation like our own. But In his economic error he was high-minded and honest. He carried In his cam paigns enthusiasm and eloquence guarded always by chivalry. He was it knight at argument and he scorned low Intriguo -and tricks. Nevertheless, his temperament wa9 Impetuous, and a signal Illustration of this fact comes to mind with almost tragic distinctness. The leading ar ticle In this month's Forum was writ ten by him. It was a study of Jeffer son, made for the guidance . of Cerao- cracjr at Chicago. In It occur these words, now sounding: more like irony than the creed of a young and ardent apostle filled to the full with enthusiasm and hope; We remember that the party ha (Jef ferson) founded has had an unbroken life of a hundred years; that It has controlled the national government for moie than one-half of Us duration; that It has victo riously led our people In ull our foro.sn wars; that under Irs away our national I uonmln wn ex trilled ul ng tl'e Ga f snl I ha Mlsifp! pi and cl.-ar to the 1'acirtV : ..v,e; tl-nt if fitlu-n-.i t'.e ettl-m.-ti of Nr.rthwiM .md the upbaitfli'ir iv'.Jm v'iT (; mat :t . ilNh-. 1 o .r ' it: : .IP.! ;'.in '.; H'r 0:1 T- ' . : ;l!"v.rl- 1 ,'.i; v h;T . hn flhlH nf Ar.,m ': 'A itl- SHi'fhl;.: and r- id tl: f.-.flaa pUr i wi'.l;iii f-otn M Miro 10 t.Yn't-I .t.

It has met, defeated and outlived all Its oppo nents. It lives and rules because It has a living gospel, just and enduring principles, aid ever work for them to do. The death of an honest man Is always a national loss. William Eustls Rus sell was more than an honest man; he was an honest and an able man. He lived true to his convictions and he dies all too soon. Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly a very earnest young man; but the harder one works who Is working the wrong way, the greater the mischief done. "Tlio money of the I'nitcd States, and every kind or form of it, whether ol' paper, silver or gold, must he us pond us tin- best in the world. It must not only he current nt its full fnrc value nt home, but it must be counted nl par in nny nnd every commercial center of ihe gloho. The dollar paid to tlio furuier, the wage-mrner mid tl.r pensioner must continue forever rqunl in purchnxiitg nnd de ht-payms; power to the dollar paid to nny g'iv ernnient creditor."'-"3:cKinlcy in His Speech ol'Avct'ptaiK'e. The Soinnton limes denies that It fa vors fret trude. Doesn't It Indorse the Chicas platform? Eryan and the Farmer. Tho. Erie Dlsputeh, published In a dis trict which sufi'ern keenly from Canad ian computiti'jn in certain agricultural products, lias been looking Into the facts as to Mr. Bryan's repeatedly pro claimed solicitude for the American farmer. It does not 11ml In his short record .13 a public man any evidence that he really cares for the welfare of the farmer; on the contrary, it cites formidable proof that he seems to pre fer the Interests of foreign to domestic agriculturalists. As a member of the ways and means committee which drafted the Wilson bill, Mr. Bryan made a special hobby of freo wool. Well, foee wool was adopted. What was the effect? Half of our domestic flecks had to be sent to the butchery. Two-thirds of our wool supply was imported. The loss to the American farmer from free wool alone ran up Into tho tens of millions. Under tho last year of the McKlnley tariff there wvre exported from this country 4749,5S6 bushels of barley. Under Mr. Bryan's low tariff the ex ports fell in one year to 1,5.'.6.715 bushels, a loss of 3,00,000 bushels or $1,500,000. On the other hand while the barley exports were declining under a practi cal exemplification of the Bryan Idea of a tariff for revenue only, the Imports of this cereal wf re steadily growing. In 1894 wo imported only 791,061 bushels of barley. In 1S93. we imported 2,116,816 bushels. The American farmer lost this difference. The Bryan Btyleof tar iff mulcted him In the case of barley nearly $1,000,000. Again, as the, Dispatch points out, "the Imports of Vattle free of duty in 1895 Increased to the value of 94,000. Those in which a reduced duty under the Wilson bill was paid, increased In value 633.000, nearly $7,0.000 of a di rect loss to our farmers caused by open ing wide the doors to foreign competi tion by Mr. Bryan's able assistance. The .lumber of American cattle from 1SH4 to 1896 decreased 4,000,000 head, owing chiefly to these heavy Imports. Flour exports fell off $25,000,000 from 1893 to 1895. Supposing we had that? Would not that heip per capita cir culation? For instance In 1892, under McKlnley prices, January 1, the market price of No. barley was B"Vi cents. Under the McKinley law sugar was then worth 4 cents a pound so that a bushel of barley would buy MVt pounds of su gar. January 1, 1S96 under the Wibon law barley was worth 32 cents and the same sugar 6 cents a pound. Then a bushel of barley would buy 6 pounds of sugar, less than half what It would In 1S92." As a final illustration of the Insincer ity of Mr. Bryan's, solicitude for the farmer, let us take the case of hay, hides and hop3. The McKlnley tariff on hay was $4 a ton. The Bryan Idea was $2 a ton. In 1893 the domestic hay product at McKlnley prices was worth $."0,8S2,872. 'In 1895, under Bryan's prices, it was worth only a little over $400,000,000. the falling off having been due very largely to importations from Canada. In 1895, under the Wilson Bryan tariff more hides to the extent of $20,000,000 worth were Imported than were imported during the final year of the McKlnley tariff. In the matter of hops, Importations grew from 82S.022 pounds under the McKlnley Idea to 3,1.13,664 pounds under the Bryan idea, and the price of the home product was cut almost In half. It Is a conservative judgment to es timate the total loss inflicted on Amer ican agriculture by the recent working of the Bryat tariff Idea at $650,000,000, or. In round numbers $50 per capita to very farmer. Suppose the farmers of this country bad. this loss restored to them In crisp cash. Would they want any such risky experiment as free sli ver coinage? Not a bit of it. The latest organised Democratic bolt is way out In Missouri. It Is nice for Bryan to talk about Invading the cap italistic East, but If he wants to have a corporal's guard in the next electoral college he had better watch hla fences in the Popullstlc West. lit.- ti-xt cnato One f.f the argumtr.ls employed In ?i;.port of t!-e silver movcrx-nt is that v-.n thrilled McKlnley fl'.f.uld be b i't . I. ihe ; i.atc would for f'jur y 'r re nuiln in cciiiro! of the silver f.irres, tntis effectually checkmating any attempt at tariff revision except when coupled with a free coinage rider. This argument is used on Republicans who aro friendly to silver but also devoted to Protection. The Cleveland World explodes It by pointlng cut that there are four states where It seems that Republican sena tors will next year Bucceed Democratic members. This does not include Ohio and Maryland, where Republican senators have already been chosen to replace De mocrats. The four states are New York, Wisconsin, Indiana and Illinois, and In each of them a Republican gain is almost as good as assured. The World adds: "Counting t hose as among the certainties, we still have Kansas, South Dakota and Missouri, where Re publicans will not unlikely be elected to succeed Pef:er, Kyle and Vest, all Dem ocrats. Thus by counting the four states first mentioned as certain to be represented by Republican senators in the FHly-llfth congress, and permitting tho vacancies in Kentucky and Deln ware to balance each other, the senate which President McKlnk-y would have to deal with would stand: Republicans, 47; combined opposition, 43." But this Is not all the story. By the time McKlnley shall be nicely settled In the White house. Pennsylvania will have choson a sound meney Rvpubll i.an to succeed J. Donald Cameron, who Is now numbered among the free sil ver obstructionists of the upper cham ber. Consequently there remains noth ing whatever of the claim that tho sll vttites will bo enabled. In spile of pub lie opinion,' to hold up Protective legis lation in the next congress. The al ready patent fact Is that if the sound money forces pull together and fight with precision, the silver monometaH'sts will be defeated with great slaughter all along the line. Few newspapers have risen to an emergency so well as did the Washing ton Post during the recent presence In its city of the Christian Endeavor con vention. The Chicago Democratic con vention, which was in simultaneous progress, made an extraordinary de mand upon the newspapers of all cities; but the Post not only reported every feature of it fully and finely but also dally gave from ten to twelve pages over to the visiting Endeavorites. It was a new demonstration of what can be done in a live newspaper office when the right men have direction of Its en ergies. "It is desirable," says Senator John Sherman, "to have more silver money, but the Chicago platform docs not point out the safe way to get it." Silver can not be coined without limit at an ar tificial price without the coiner of it sooner or later getting hurt. The trouble with Mr. Bryan is that his facility of speech runs way ahead of his capacity for digested thinking. THE .MAX I'OK CONGRESS. From the Olyphant Record. From present Indications, William Con nell will be the nominee of the Republi cans of this district for congressman next term. This Is the choice of the party leaders In and outside of the city of Scran ton, and the rank and tile of tho party are confident that the beat Interests of both local and notional af.'airs will be safa In his hands. He is a gentleman widely known and possesses great influence In state affairs. He Is without question the best mm that can be sent to Washington from this district. Mr. Connell started In life as a poor boy, and has successfully passed through all the various stages of life, from pov erty to affluence. He knows what It la to work for others, and well remembers the rights and wants of the worklngman. Gradually and steadily did he advance from the position of employe to that of employer, and Ihe rich experience Inci dent to the ascension of an honest work lngman, is possessed by him. This en ables Mr. Connell to understand the an thracite regions as no other person, dif ferently situated, ever can; and it pre eminently qualifies him to represent the anthracite rettlon In congress. William Connell Is an extensive em ployer today, and Invariably, he is a friend of the employes, who can at all times find freo acte.'s to him whenever they have demands to make or complaints to pre sent. He has unfeigned sympathy with the employed and never In time of dilfl culty have they found him wanting In those qualities that relieve human suffer ing and make the burdens of life easier to bear. Dcing thus In close touch with tho laboring men of our anthracite regions, he understands their wants, comprehends their difficulties and knows their political tendencies In national affairs, which qiial illeatlons are essential In our representa tive in Washington. Mr. Connell has also been closely Identi fied with the development of northeastern Pennsylvania. His genial qualities and manly character aro known throughout this county and the prominence thrust upon him by leading men In the state hat brought him to th? vnn In state affairs. He Is the best qualified gentlemun in th4 district to be sent to the house ofTepre scntetlves, and the Interests of the pnrty will be best served by nominating him for congress in the August convention, AM EXPLANATION. Prom the New York Sun. Sev.-iral correspondents have asked us to explain what the free coinage of silver means; nnd, generally, what effect legis lation establishing It would have uprii the business of the country. We unswor, that It means that every owner or pur chaser of silver bullion shall be permitted to bring it to the mint, In unlimited quuntites, and huve it coined, free of charge. Into dollars, ach containing S7HI grains of pure silver and 41Vt grains of copper, or 412 grains altogether, which dollais shall be a legal tender equally with gold coin. As the gold dollar contains 13.22 grains of pure gold, and. with 2.58 grains of copper alloy added, 25.S grains, the silver dollar weighs 10 t!ms as much as a gold dollar, and the raUo between them Is, therefore, said to be 16 to 1. ' Ths effect upon business of the adoption of this coinage scheme would be to maka dollars containing a little over three quarters o an ounce of pure silver, each, equal In debt-paying power to gold dol lars. An ounce of pure silver containing 480 grains can now be bought for about cents. Since the sliver dollar would cost only about three-quarters of that amount or, say, S3 to 63 cents. While It would pay debt's as well as the gold dollar we have now. nobody would take It on the same footing In payment for fresh purchases of goods or for labor. Nor could we use it shroud on eiual terms with yo ' In pur chasing goods to import.

Hence, a ivr.JJu-.'-mer.t of prices would have to tr.ks plae: ln-every commodity that Is bought and sold, and, consequently. In wages ami Ealariea. While the adjustment was so Ing on endless confusion and conflict would prevail; and, In the end, nobody would be benefited, except the men who happened to owe money when It began, and what they gained would be so much lost to their creditors. THE SPIRIT OF UNREST. From the Buffalo Enquirer. The spirit of unrest and d!sconte-.!t that did so much to nominate and elect Mr. Cleveland in li02 Is behind Eryan. Then the war cry that arrayed class against class and section cgaiiiEt section was, "JJown with the Robber Darotis of Pro tection!" Now there is added to this hos tility to the protected industries u fiercer hostility to the moneyed Interests. Then the crusaJo was against trusts, monop olies, nnd "the Icy yoke and iron heel" r.f the manufacturer. Now It Is against the bunker and the bondholder as well. Then tne how I for a cheap dinner pall for the !a. borer rang through the land; now the slogan In his behalf Is a cheap dollar. Our sympathies are genuinely with the masses and against the classes; but we do not be lieve In preaching syelul war every four years merely to get a certain lot of poli ticians Into office. AFTER THE LANDLORDS. From the Wllkes-Ur.rre Hecorl. The man who kmnvlncly rents property tor imii'.oral purposes Is not a whit bdt t?r than libs wretched tenants. Indeed he la more reprehensible, especially If he poses in the community us a reputable man and professor of Christianity. No leniency should he shown those who un der thu cloajt of morality promote vies ami provide a home for thesj who mrrke a trade of immorality. Ths movement in Scianton will be watched with a trood deal of Interest not only lit that city but else where. JIDCEH BY IT'S COMPANY. From the Washington Tost.

But how about the prospect When The Bonds Fall Due! It's a most inspiring sentiment to tell the worklngmnn That his pocket's going to jingle under Bryan's silver plan, And for the tolling farmer 'tls a consola tion sweet That he'll get a flood of silver for his pumpkins and his wheat; And there Is no need to tell him, from a silver point of view, That 'twill bo another story When The Bonds Fall Due! Of course the man who buys our bonds and pays for them In gold Will feel great satisfaction and delight when he Is told That Instead of standard money he must take his pay In trash Which shrinks one-half In value when re duced to hard, gold cash!
