The Scranton Times, with one breath, asks for free silver on the plea that It would check the so-called tremen dous full in the prices of farm pro ducts, and In the next declares that that fall "Is due wholly to overproduction. Now If It be due to overproduction, how will the free coinage of 50-cent dollars lead to a cure of the farmer's ills? Will it cause him to plant fewer acres of corn, oats, wheat and potatoes? The Times apparently cannot look far enough ahead to see where its right angle arguments lead It. Col. Win. J. Scott. The people are not often afforded an opportunity of being represented In the legislature of Pennsylvania by so emin ently lit a man as Is Colonel William J. Scott, Republican candidate for sen ator in the lower district. Colonel Scott Is all that a senator ought to be. He Is a ready talker on all subjects and never talks too much. He has had a wide business experience, is patient, painstaking and Industrious, and will make a good committee worker. He has a commanding presence and a cred itable soldier record. He Is u. man of good habits, without being straight laced. He Is, In brief, all that a man ned. to be to give him standing and strength In a body like the senate of Pennsylvania. And In that body a cap able man can make himself heard to his own advantage and that or his con stituency. It Is risking nothing to pre dict that Colonel Scott, If elected, will take a commanding position In the senate and make the district known, to its honor, throughout the state. He was born and raised In Philadelphia and that will add to bis strength, since it will enable him to speak, by experi ence, both for our greatest municipality and that section of the state from which the biggest flguro in Its aggre gate wealth Is devolved. He is a clean man, above reproach. Every Republi can ought to and many Democrats will, vote for him. The money system under which, in 1S90, 91 and '92, this country managed to lead the whole world in prosperity ought still to be good enough. It never appeared wrong until the Democratic party rashly upset things by Its dis astrous assault upon the tariff, a , Our free silver neighbor pretends that It falls to see wherein the "perfidy and dishonor" Wilson-Gorman tariff caused loss to the American farmer. In the first place, It let in millions of dollars' worth of foreign grown wool and food stuffs which we ought to have grown at home. Secondly, by its large Imports of miscellaneous foreign-made goods, it cut the home manufacturer out of a market, decreased the working hours and the pay of home worklngmen, and reduced materially their ability to buy of the product of American agricul ture. Underconsumption, because of "tariff reform" cut work and wages, rather than overproduction Is the solu tion to the present low average prices of farm produce. The cure is to restore Protection, not experiment with cheap silver. The Republican party is not afraid of the money question; but It believes that the money question will cease to worry people as soon as adequate Pro tection shall again set the machinery of business to going in its old-time form. tlTL. mama. aC- tkn I ' h i t .1 Vlntnti. aud every kiud or form of it, whether of paper, silver or gold, must be as good as the best in the world. It must not ouly be current at its full face value at home, but it must be counted at par in any and every commercial center ol'tbe globe. The dollar paid to the farmer, the wage-earner and the pensioner must continue forever equal in purchasing and debt-paving power to the dollar paid to any gov rrumeut creditor.,'--.McKiiiley in Hi Speech of Acceptance. During the eleven months ended with May 31 last, our Imports under the Wil son tariff, were valued ut JTJa.Ml.'JUl. In other words, during thut period we bought from foreigners nearly three quarters of a billion dollars' worth of merchandise, a Rood part of which could just as well have been made at home had there been adequate Protec tion to warrant It. And yet they say the tariff is not an Issue. The Tariff a Vital Issue. From 1878 to 1892. the period of maxi mum national prosperity under Re publican economic policies which the first Cleveland administration, lacking control of enngreas, was unable to dis turbthe foreign movement of our gold gave us praitlcally no concern. It Is illustrated in the appended table: 1878.. Imports H,ia"..7ttl Imports l,o:t;,ul ISSit.. Imports 77.ntt.-rrt l&sl.. imports 7.4tiii,n7 Iw.'.. Imports l.VstUH 1883.. Imports G.133.AS1 1884..

Export BS.13U.U87 1892.. Exports 5,873 During nine of thewe fifteen years the trend of the gold movement was In our favor, and during only two of the remaining Rix years, that Is to say, in 1389 and 1891, waa the outward move ment large enough to attract atten tion. In 1889 there were large Importa tions under the tariff of 1883 for the purpose of anticipating the Increased duties of the McKlnley bill, and this caused an outward flux of gold in pay ment. In 1891 the extraordinary out flow arose luigely because of the Har Ing failure, which caught In its crash many foreign holders of American se curities who, being pinched for ready money, had to return some of those securities to this country for redemp tion. These explanations are ample to account for the exceptional exports, which characterized two of the years of the Harrison administration, when the revenues of the country were upon a highly Protective basis. Adding im ports together and comparing results for the fifteen years In question, we find that the aggregate Imports of gold exceeded the aggregate exports to the amount of J1U1, 568,310. During this period the national debt was reduced from $2,349,567,232.04 in 1879 to J 1,563, 612.45S.63 In 1892, a total reduction of $785,954,776.41. Now let us turn to the years from 1893 to 1896, when "tariff reform" held the boards: 1893. .Exports 187.506,463 1SW.. Exports 4.628,942 18S5.. Exports 30,984,449 1896. Exports 74,611,252 Eleven months ended May 31 Here we have a total loss of gold dur ing the Bhort era of Democratic "tariff reform" of $197,531,106, or a net loss In four years of $93,962,976 over the net gain accumulated during the preceding fif teen yenrs. During these same disas trous four years of Wilson-Gorman tar iff reform, the national debt has been increased, in principal, $260,454,330, and in interest yet to be paid, almost $250, 000,000 or over $500,000,000 in all. Had the Voters of the United States not heeded the false arguments of Democ racy in 1892, the national debt, instead of being Increased in principal and in terest over half a billion dollars In, the Intervening four years, would, at the same rate of decrease which prevailed from 1879 to 1892, have been lowered to to tha extent of 1224,558,507.32, and In stead of a loss of $197,531,106 through gold exports we should, at the ratio of the preceding fifteen Republican years, have had a net gain through Imports amounting In the four years to $27,085. 012. Recapitulating these losses, and not saying anything of the tremendous personal losses Inflicted by the "tariff reform" experiment upon all classes of American citizens for these In the ag gregate are obviously Incalculable we find that the "change of 1892" from Mc Klnley Protection to Wilson-Qorman free trade has cost the government of the United States directly, in Its finan ces, not less that $949,174,025.32, a con clusion reached as follows: Loss of gold, through actual export $197,631,100 W Loss of gold, through what would have been imported had the Republican ratio from 1S7S to 1892 obtained from 1892 to 18H0 27.085,012 00 Loss through Increased mt-, tlonal debt 600,000,000 00 Loss through what would have been the reduction of debt had the Republican ratio of d-bt reduction which . prevulled from 1879 to 1892 v , . prevailed also from 1892 to 1899 224,658,507 32 ' Tool loss $949,174,625 12 This loss has nothing to do with the question whether a gold or a silver standard Is the better. It is a direct fruit Of the Democracy's unwise agi tation against Protection; a palpable demonstration that the tariff is em phatically an Issue in this campaign. Some of our friends have expressed surprise that We give so much space to the speeches and doings of Iirynn. We beg of them to remember that The Tribune, first of all, is a newspaper. Its news columns cannot be closed to any facts of widespread and proper public interest. Just now Rryan occu pies the center of the stage, because he has It practically all to hlmselt. Just wait until McKlnley, Harrison, Reed, Smith, Hastings, Foraker, Allison, Cul lorn, Dolllver and the other big leaders of the Republican campaign get set tled down to steady work; the result then will be quite different. Mr. Bryan cannot work the free sil ver dodge so eloquently as to cause the voters of this country to forget that he was one of the men who framed the ilson bill and thereby contributed to the subsequent delirium of free trade Ills. Senator Cameron will not be a candi date for re-election, first because he has publicly declared so, and secondly, be cause in the present state of public opinion he would not stand any chance. True blmetallists will reflect that the Republican platform pledges the Re publican party to promote the; only form of complete bimetallism which can be attempted with safety. MR. BLAINE ON SILVER. Much ado has been made by the Demo eratic press, and particularly by the Scranton Times, ovr an extract from a speech made In congress on Feb. 7. 1373, t' James U. Blaine, in which he took linn ground In favor or bimetallism. The ex tract printed In the Democratic papers conveys the erroneous Impression that Mr. Blaine was then In favor of the frae, un limited and Independent coinage by this country alone of th silver of the entire world. It was a general declaration ot be lief that the business of the world needed the use of both gold and silver us prima ry money a proportion fully rvafflrmcd by the St. Louis convention, which pledtti-d the Republican party to work for Inter national bimetallism. Never for one mo ment did Mr. Blaine hold, either in 1873 or afterward, that the United States coulj have complete bimetallism by itself, upon the basis of an artificial over valuation of sliver. At the time the address In question was delivered, the senate, as one of our contemporaries opportunely points out, was considering the Bland bill, which pro vided for the free coinage of dollars con taining 412'a grains of sliver. Mr. Blaine opposed that proposition, because at the current market price, 412M. grains of sil ver were worth only 92 cents. He held that the act of the government in coining the proposed dollars would be simply throwing Into the pocket of the sliver mine owner a profit of 8 cents on every dollar coined. It Is thus easily to be seen what would be the attitude of Mr. Blaine today toward a proposition whereby the government, Instead of coining 92 cents' worth of sliver ino a dollar, should under take to make a dollar of 53 cents' worth of silver, and whereby the silver mine owner. Instead of deriving a clear profit of 8 cents,' would have 47 cents clear on every dollar coined. -:!!:- Among other things he said: "However men may differ about causes and process es, all will admit that within a few years a great disturbance has tuken place In the relative values of gold and sliver, and that silver is worth less or gold is worra more in the money markets of the world In 1878 than In 1873. when the further coinage of sliver dollars was prohibited in this country. To remonetize It now as though essential conditions had not changed, is wilfully and blindly to deceive others. If our demonetization were the only cause for the decline lu the value of sliver, then remonetlzatlon would be its proper and effectual cure. But other causes, beyond our control, have been tar more poten tially operative than the simple fact that congress prohibited Its further coinage. As legislators we are bound to take cog nizance of these causes." True as these words were in 1878. when silver was only a few cents cheaper than Rold, are they not equally true today, when the dollar In the former metal Is now worth In bul lion only a little more than half the dol lar in gold? Mr. Blaine held (with the Republican party of today) that "our line of policy lu a Joint movement with other nations to remonetize Is simple and direct," but he thus pointed out the danger of attempt ing to act alone: "The difficult problem is what we shall do when we aim to re establish sliver without the co-operation of European powers, and really an ad vance movement to coerce those powers into the same policy. Evidently the first dictate of prudence is to coin such a dol. lar as will not only do Juntice among our citizens at home, but will prove a pro tectionan almost 'barricade against the Cold monometalllsts of Europe, who, whenever the opportunity offers, will quickly draw from us the $160,000,000 of gold coin we now hold. If we coin a sliver dollar of full legal tender, obviously below the current value of the gold dollar, we are simply ooenlng our doors and Inviting Eu rope to take our gold. With our gold flow ing out from us we shall be forced to the single sliver standard and our relations with the leading commercial countries ot the world will not only be embarrassed but crippled." Substitute for "$160.00O.WO of gold coin" the words "6uo,000,000," and Mr. Blaine's warning will exactly fit the more menacing conditions of today. "The question before congress," he con tinued, "is whether It Is now safe and ex pedient to offer free coinage to the silver dollar of 412a grains, with the mints of the Latin union closed and Germany not permitting silver to be coined as money. It assuredly follows that If we give free coinage to this dollur of Inferior value and put it in clrcuatlon. we do so at the ex pense of our better coinage In gold, and unies we expect the Invariable experience of other nations to be in some mysterious way suspended for our pecullnr benefit, we inevitably lose our gold coin. It will flow out from us with the certainty and force of the tides. Gold has Indeed re mained with us in considerable amount during the circulation of the Interior cur rency of the legal tender; but that was be cause there were two groat uses reserved by law for gold the collection of customs and the payment of Interst on the publlj debt. But If the inferior silver coin Is also to be used for these two reserved purposes, then fold has no tie to bind it to us. What gain, therefore, should we make for the circulating medium, if on opening the gate for silver to flow In, we open a still wider gate for gold to flow out?" In the opinion of Mr. Blaine the free and unlimited coin age of a dollar of less than actual value was Incompatible with Justice or right. He said: "At current rates of silver, the free coinage of a dollar containing 412- grains, worth In gold about 92 cents, gives an Illegitimate profit to the owner of the bul lion, enabling him to take 92 cents' wor.h of tt'lo the mint and get it stamped as coin and force his nelshbor to take It for a. full dollar. This is an unfair ad vantage whtfh the government has no right to give to the owner of silver bul lion, and which defrauds the man who Is forced to take the dollar." As to the direct effect upon the people of the coinage of cheap dollars, Mr. Blaine said: "Consider further what Injustice would be done to every holder of a legal tender or national bajik note. That large volume of paper money in excess of 1700, OoO.OOO is worth between M and 99 cents on the dollar in gold coin. The holders of It, wbo are indeed our entire population from the poorest to the richest, hive been promised from the hour of Its Issue that their paper money would one day be hs good as gold. To pay sliver for the green back is a full compliance with this prom ise and this obligation, provided the sliver Is made as It always has been hitherto, as good is gold. To make our silver coin even 3 per cent, less valuable than gold Inflicts at once a loss of more than 120,14. Ooo on the holders of our iwper money; To make a s!lver dollar worth but 92 cents precipitates on the game class a Iosj of nearly S:u.OiM,oun. Kor whatever the value of the stiver dollar Is, the whole pnfar is sue of the country will sink to its stand ard when its coinage is uuthorlzed and Its circulation becomes general In the' chan nels ot trade." The folly of asserting that the free and unlimited coinage o stiver at the ratio of 10 to 1 will bring the price of silver up to an equality with gold at that ratio Is shown by this paragraph from his speech: "Assurances from empirics and scientists In finance thut remontizatfon of the former dollar will at once and perma nently advance Its value to per with gold, are worth little in the face ot opposing and controlling facts. The first e fleet ot issu ing any silver dollar that will pay customs dues and Interest on the public debt, will undoubtedly be to raise it to a practical equality with gold: but that condition will Ust only until the amount needful for customs shall till the channels of Its use, and the overflow going Into general circu lation will rapiuly settle to its normal and auual vle. and then the discount will come on the volume of the paper curren. cy. which will sink with the silver dollar in which it is made ledoemable. That re nwnetizatlon will have a considerable ef fect in advhiicinv the value of the silver dollar Is very probable, but not enough to overcome the difference now existing u difference resulting from causes Inde pendent of our control in the L'nited States." Now let t:s io.'k at what Mr. Blaine offered as a substitute for the Bland proposition: "1. Tnat the dollar shall contain 425 grains of standard silver (the amount ac tually worth $1 In the markets of that day), shall have unlimited coinage, and b an unlimited lecal tender. "2. That all the profits of coinage shall go to the government, and not to the oper at or In silver bullion." Nothing could be farther from the pro position cf the Pllveilte today to coin dol lars at half value and give the profit to tlie producer of silver. The Influence of Leo. The Earth passed from the sign of Can cer to Leo today and will remain in the same until Aug. 22. Leo represents the heart, the love mid emotions, and conse quently persons born under that sign are controlled by their emotions rather than by their reasoning. They can readily adapt themselves to almost any condition of life, and are often affected by the men. tul and physical condition of people about them. W ith a. fair degree of self-control they usually manifest superior power in anything they undertake. Their greatest weakness is their love nature. They nre easily misled by those for whom they have a rondness. The opinion of ancient astrologers re gardlng the children of 10 are somewhat at variance wtth those of modern times. They speak as follows: "The Sun in Leo maketh a stout 4iody, bold, arog-ant eloquent and proud; a mocker and a stonier, unmerciful and cruel. He will be unfortunate in children and from them sustaining much labor and affliction; prone to anger, and putting himself into many dangers, very ambitious, and promoting himself to many honors and dignities, and it brlngeth him in danger of tire, sword and violence of beasts, whereby he shall die out of"hls own house, or place. Jfowbeit by the help or Uod he may escape out of ull these dan gers. A girl bom when the Sun Is In Leo shall be stout at the upper part of the body and slender at the lower extremi ties; angry, a slanderer and babbler, albeit that the softness which Is In woman doth somewhat admit and assuage the excess of the same. She ought ul.-'o specially to take heed of hot waters and fire by which she shall be in great danger. She shall also be Inclined to sicknesses, or gnawing at the stomach. But after the age of 20 or 21 years she shall be fortunate In riches, also in housekeeping and beauty and love. Not withstanding, she shall have but few chil dren." Children burn under Leo should have careful moral training while, young and should as much as possible be kept In Ig norance of the deceit and duplicity of the world until their charcters have been formed. They have a great disposition while young to Imitate the habits of those around them and are apt to act from con. elusions too quickly. Unless carefully educated and happily surrounded while young they are apt to become dishonest and tricky In burlnets when older. The diseases that are most liable to at tack them are consumption and palsy. TOLD BY THE STARS. Daily Horoscope Drawn by Ajacchus The Tribune Astrologer.
