On another page appears a statenifnt from James ('. Moore, of Knoxvllle,, Tenn., relutlve to an Institution which he superintend!! known as the Cosmo polltan Library ami Industrial school. Mr. Moore Is u negro, and his life has been thus far spent In efforts to educate and elevate his race. He wisely con tends that mere book learning will not Rhine suffice to solve the race problem. There is need of trained brains, to be sure; but there is even greater need. In his Judgment, of skilled hands among the blight young colored men of the south, und to this end Mr. Moore lays stress on Industrial training and makes It his L-hli.f endeavor to lit his pupils for self -sustaining work as artlsuns. This gentleman comes bearing some of the best recommendations that we have ever examined. He will endeavor to secure from the generously disposed citizens of Scranton practical assistance In his work. If after satisfying them selves of the worthiness of Mr. Moore to be entrusted with funds for such a purpose, there shall be on the part of Serantonlans a liberal response, it will be In a direction which needs every possible attention. No thoughtful mind can fall to realize the very grave re sponsibility under which the white citi zen of this nation rest toward the black who yet linger under the handi caps Inherited from slavery days. There were greater liabilities almost by 100 per cent. In the American busi ness failures during the three months of 1896 than during the whole year 1890.

Are Bankers Responsible? That was a timely point which James O. Cannon, vice-president of the Fourth National bank of New York, brought out in his address before the New York State Bankers' association, delivered last Friday at Niagara Falls. "The question," said he, "occurs to me, are we in any wise blameworthy for the growth of the free-silver sentiment? Is It not true that a large number of bank ers have, perhaps unconsciously, con tributed to bring about the present dis satisfaction of the borrowing class? Too f rpnilrnr1v whon a trnrlasman nn a fnr cr goes to his banker to secure a loan s met with a refusal on the ground there Is a scarcity of money, or he rmed that because of the scarcity ey n must pay a- high, rata of Interest This Is a poor policy to pur sueespeclally !f money Is not scarce. "The banker, he went on to say, "should carefully study the conditions that surround his customers and when refusing advances should frankly and honestly give his reasons for so doin If a farmer, for Instance, is raising only one crop and that crop is likely to fail, thus obliging his banker to wait for his money an entire year, he should be ad vised by the bank officer to put in more diversified crops or to produce some thing that will sell for cash, so that he can pay his loans at the bank at ma turlty. Or if a merchant is selling to a class of trade in a community that is undesirable he should be cautioned and advised regarding this whole subject In other words, the banker should be looked upon by his clients the same as a good family physician is looked upon by his patients, and there should exist between them the utmost confidence." In still other words, honesty is the best policy for bankers as well as for other branches of business. It la encouraging to hear so promi nent a banker as Mr. Cannon is talk this way. It is Indicative that the more prescient representatives of our bank lug Interests ate at la3t beginning to realize that If they would be left free to continue their profitable activities without embarrassment from Populia tic legislation, the bankers of the coun try must meet the agricultural Inter ests at or near the half wuy point. It will not pay the banker to be exacting with the farmer, for the farmer, who B'jeins In recent years to be getting rather the worst of things, has at least one Inalienable resource, his vote. And If thut vote Is to be secured for tran- liUillzhig measuies, the farmer himself must lirst be tranquilizer. He Is Set Uum dishonest at heart. He seldom wishes to shirk a debt or repudiate an obligation. At the same time, he is not used to the Indexible sharpness which characterizes business transactions In the cities, und the banker who treats him as he would treat a merchant or manufacturer, that Is to suy, rigidly and without show of business consideration further than Is stipulated In the bond, is quite as apt to make un enemy of him ns to make a friend. Live and let live is as good a prin ciple In banking as It Is in other Voca tions; or if it Isn't, It ought to be. "The money of the I nttcd Mutes, it nd every kind or form of il, whether of paper, silver or gold, must lip as good ns the best in the world. It must not only be current ut its full ftico value nt home, but it must be counted nt pur iti imy nud every commercial center of the globe. The dollar pnid to the immcr, the wngo-enrner and the pensioner mut continue forever equal in iiirchnsin; and debt-paying power to the dollar paid to r.ny gov ernment creditor."--McKiiilty in His Speech of Acceptance. The Voice of Iowa. In view of the show of confidence whii: hthe silver Democrats make of be lug able to carry Iowa for Bryan It is interesting; to rtad 111 detail the pro ceedings of last week's stute convention of Iowa Jtepubllcans so fur as they re lute to the silver Issue. Tho convention was held last Wednesday In Des Moines and was attended by the most promin ent leaders of the party in the state, including Senators Allison and Clear, und Ilepreseiitatlves Henderson, Hep burn, Curtis, lydegrarf, Lacey, Dolll ver and Hull. The platform was lurge ly the Joint work of these leaders, and its financial plank Is understood to re flect the sentiments of Senator Allison In particular. It Is us follows: In the interest of our export trade, for the furtherance of the policy of reciproc ity, and for the promotion of our com merce, as well as for the benefit of our silver producers, we pledge support of tho Iowa representatives In congress to (he promotion of an International agreement to establish the Joint standard universal ly: and from the same considerations to opposo the proposition to carry tho United States to silver monometallism. We are opposed to the change to a single silver ktandurd because it will decrease and not Increase the supply of money in tiio country; because, instead of restoring con fidence, it will destroy credit; instead of Inspiring enterprise It will spreil alarm; instead of aiding tho debtor it will Involve him in bankruptcy; Instead of furnishing employment to labor it will make more uncertain and tinremunerattva that which it Iium. und Instead of bene fiting the producer und farmer it will in jure them, and finally because It would do Infinite Injustice and involve our country in repudiation und dishonor. V de nounce ns false the statement of th Democratic party that we have contracted or that our policy will contract the vol ume) of our currency; on the contrary, wo assert that the principle we advocate Is the only principle that will give to the country the money, gtable in its purchas ing power and equal In amount, whicli the prosperity of the people demands. ri'.9 Republican party, under Its policy, ajsv.ni the people of an ample currency, con posed of gold, silver and paper, no one kind preferable to another; none of it subject In the hands of the people to variation of value, but every lolur us good as gold. We stand upon the record which the Republican party has made. We recall the pronhecies of our antagon ists in Iowa in 1S7S. that specie payments would ruin our state, and we point to the period of never-to-be equalled prosperity which ensued from lhSO to lti92, with every dollar of our currency kept at the gold standard, without the sale of a bond or a whi:cr ugalnst our credit. Thft was followed by a tariff plank that also deserves to be quoted: We reaffirm our faith In the doctrine of protection to American labor, and the policy which Is part of it, the promotion of our foreign trade by reciprocal agree ments. Under this consistent and prac tical policy the development of our lim itless resources will be resumed, enter prise will spring into action at a million opportunities, capital will go out seeking for the wage-earner, and when the table of the worklngman is again covered with plenty the American farmer will know good times once more. We hold that the prices of our faim product! can be re stored only by the recovery of the mar kets to which we had access four years ago, and through the return to our home consumers of the buying power which was theirs four years ago. The Iowa farmer needs no other conditions to assure his prosperity than those which maintained the level of his prices, increased the value of his farm, and reduced the cost of fi' purchases during the four splendid years of President Harrison's administration. 4!y the restoration of these conditions, by maintaining the stability of our money, and not by debasing its value, the Itepuo llcan party promise! him relief. The principal speaker before the fcon- "Resolved, That the platform adopted by the Chicago couvention is neither honest nor patriotic, and therefore not Democratic ; that it differs so radically from the past doctrines of the Democratic party, aud particularly from the national platform of 1S92 and the year 1S96, that we cannot, its wide departure from true believe that the highest duty every effort to defeat the ticket -From the Resolution! Itepreaematire ventlon. Senator Allison took a firm position In opposition to free coinage. He pointed out that from 1S73 to 1890 under the gold standard, the republic more than doubled Its wealth and added by more than fifty per cent, to the output of its industries, a greater showing of progress and prosperity that was ever before made In an equal or twice an equal period of time: and he added: "The remedy pro posed at Chicago Is a. sham remedy, that will bear us still deeper into the confusion and disasters we have ex perienced during the last three or four years. It is a remedy which is a death dealing blow to the prosperity of our country, its Industries and occupations and to all Its property and all the wages of labor and earnings of the people. On the contrary, the Republican party will restore this prosperity, not today, nor tomorrow, nor In the twinkling of an eye. but will restore It healthily, stead ily and constantly to what It was when the Republican party surrendered the control of this government Into the hands of the Democratic party." In short, there was not a voice raised at this enthusiastic convention which could by any distortion of purpose be construed to Indicate that the Republi cans of Iowa are lukewarm In faith or fearful of defeat. The unanimous sen timent wus one of sutlefuu'tlou and con fidence. Iowa will give .0,000 plurality for McKinley and Hobart. According to Mulhall. the United States is far and away the wealthiest nation in the world. Below Is his table of estimates: United States Great Britain France flormany Russia Austria $ti4,120.000,000 47,000,000,000 42,99O,000,0u0 31,185,000,'DO 25,145.000,'KlO 19,27o,00ci.000 IUly 15,815.000,000 Spain 12,580,0X1,000 AustrnlK li.Stii.OW.OOU rtelgtum fi,u35,000,00l Holland 4X).0n0,is0 Canada 4.180.0OO.II0O Bwedun 3.041,000.000 Uoumania 3.180,000,0m Argentina 2.545,0110.000 This commanding lea J lias been ac quired during our us of the gold stand ard. It does not indicate that anything Is wrong with thut standard. Mr. Bryan's speeches are devoted principally to the enunciation of state ments not in dispute; such for instance, as that "all citizens of this republic are cquuj before the law," that "the object of government should be the welfare of the governed," etc. Platitudes like these, while grand enough In them selves, become somewhat tiresome when solemnly re-Iterated five or six times a day for weeks in succession. The boy orator should endeavor wither to do less idle talking or else to fertilize his Inces sant remarks with a richer vitality of pertinent thought.

Rochester Post-Express. , If the silver agitation could be silenced there Is no doubt thut the supply of gold In this country would Increase with a rapidity never known bt,'re. Many cred ulous persons iiitve bjen deluded Into thinking that with free sliver we should have an abundant currency. Not only would It drive out of circulation six hun dred millions of gold which we now have, but already th? agitation for fine silver has kept awny liundreis of millions of gold which would otherwise be In uso among us. Foreign investors have sold their securities and taken away the money received tor them, and the feeling of un certainty has caused a pmall but steady hoarding of the precious metal. Be yond this, the increasing stream of gold pouring over tho world with benellelil effect to all nations which receive their partion of it. Is turned away from our shores as a result of the efforts tor free coinage of silver. il :i I! Gold will not come to a land where there is a possibility that a hundred cents worth of yellow metal may be paid with 50 cents worth of white metal. Year by year new nilnei turn out amounts which exceed all former experience. This ensures an abundant supply of currency for Europe, and it has aided the prosperity which Is shared by Kngiand, and by every Euro pean country with a trald standard, but not a dollar of this reaches the United States. The annual production is now two hundred millions, it Is three times as large as it was a few years ago, and there is every Indication that It will increase rather than diminish. In the five years following lslK). so recent figures show us. a thousand million dollars have been taken from the mines, an amount which con founds the imagination, und all this enor mous supply l.as gone to the countries in which there I no fear of a depreciation of the currency, in 1V;0 the bank of Franco held a little over 200 millions m gold, at ths beginning of 1895 It held four hundred millions, the renervo fund of the bank of England doubled In the same period, that of Austria Increased four fold, thp holdings of Russia, went from two hundred millions to live. hundred mill ions. In Kngiand, France, Uerman. Aus tria and Russia the stock of gold has In creased In live years eight hundred mill ion dollars. i II I! Not only does all ths produce of the mines seel: countries where its value Is in no danger of Impairment, but the more costly metal leaves the land in which there Is even the possibility of a cheaper currency. During the five years that a thousand million dollars of gold have en riched the treasuries of Kuropean states our net exports of gold have exceeded two hundred millions. The agitation for free silver steadily makes our condition worse and the laws of trade will not yield though the platforms of Populist convention! say that they do not exist, or the boy orator of the Platte declare that Tie will not be crucified on a golden cross. We are learnlnar some of the lei sons of 4iolltieal economy by dear expe rience, trha increased production of sold will in lime be recognised as On of the the Pennsylvania platform of as honest Democrats, accept Democratic doctriue, and we of true Democrats is to make nominated at Chicago." Adopted July 17 by a Meeting in rhlladolpula of t enuity iraoia uamocrata great economical features of this era, and It is hard that In this country the mcr chant, the farmer and the laboring man should lose the benetit of It by reason of tho ignorance and the greed of agitators. When once they realize the harm they have suffered, the danger of a depre ciated currency wll oass away forever. and the Tillmans, the Altgelds, and the Bryans will return to the political ob scurity from which they sprang. FREE SILVER AND PRICES. Q. W. Boese, In New York Journal. There Is a side of the money question of very great Importance particularly to clerks, mechanics, and, In fact, all wage earners. The great boi rowers are the large corporations railroad, telegraph and manufacturing companies, etc. in order to procure tho money they want they promise and contract to pay It in "gold coin." At the present time the payments that are made to them for rail road fates, freight, telegraph messages and merchandise are in silver or gold and as the United States government will pay one or the other, It makes no difference to them which they get. But supposing sil ver were made legal tender, all the re ceipts would be la silver and the corpora tlons would have to take It. and as before illustrated, it would be worth one-half as much as previously. But these corporations must repay tho money they have borrowed in gold. How can they do It? The only way U to double their charges, so thut if It cost you 6 cents to go home from work now, It will cost you 10 thereafter. They will also prac tically reduce the wages of their em ployes about one-half. Your landlord also has mortgaged the house In which he lives and he has to pay gold in settlement of the interest. Where does lie get It? Why, he raises your rent double! It. The man thut owns the large dry goods and grocery stores has to pay gold. He also raUea the prices of his merchandise. And yuu, how do you fare? Are your wages raised? Perhaps, ultimately Dut not for a long time. Your employer feels poor, lie is being paid only one-half what he expected. Besides, capital is with drawn, Investor are frightened, foreign ers say we have cheated our creditors. huve repudiated our debts therefore, for want of capital, Industries and enter prises are at u standstill. Consequently hundreds of thousands of men are out of employment and are willing to work for next to nothing In order to keep actual starvation from their families. That, too, naturally tends to lower waves still fur ther. THE COST OF IT. From the Times-Herald. If free coinage of silver should become a law of the United States prices of com modities would be doubled. The first ar ticles on which doubling the price would appear aro those we Import, of these ar ticles we Import tea und coffee are the most Important to the common people. Every housekeeper knows what these two articles cost per pound today. By doub ling the price per pound the first effect of the free coinage of silver can be un derstood. But, IJ will be usked, is there no balancing advantage to be gained? ine answer is simple. Absolutely none. THERE'S MONEY ENOl till. From the Times-Herald. There Is money enough In the country. All that Is needed Is some assurance to the men who have a few dollars saved that they may Invest it without fear of the adoption of u revolutionary financial standard. IT WANTS A MAN. From the Times-Herald. The country will hardly care to trust its destiny to a. "whirlwind orator" or a "boy wonder while the shadow of grave Inter national complications lowers ubove the horizon. WHOM IT Pl'NIsIIES. From the Times-Herald. The free silver hullabaloo punishes holders of Idle capital, It is true, and it also punishes the holders of Idle hands. who world be able to get work If there were no free sliver hullabaloo. DISTRACTION. It's hard to be called in such torrid days To think on a nation's cares. When It's truly a task That seems too much to ask To attend to your own affairs. For the sun's fierce ray Do so amaze That It's scarcely with due respect we puuse To learn of taxation or coinage laws.
