densed by the Times-Herald.
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.

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:

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.
