Safety in Railway Travel.
Newspaper verdicts concerning the
Atlantic City railway accident have
been rendered in abundance, but they
do not amount to much. It affords
email elucidation to say that some one
blundered (which is self-evident) and
that if he be discovered and is not
already an inanimate victim of hl.i
own mistake, he should be rigidly pun
ished. More to the point Is the positive
order of the Reading railroad that
hereafter under no circumstances shall
engineers of that company engage in
racing with competitive trains on par
allel lines. It seems that it had been
customary for engineers on both the
Heading and Pennsylvania railroads to
race with each other while entering and
departing from Atlantic City. The two
line run close enough together for
ome distance to give itest to this dan
gerous form of rivalry, nnd while the
officials of both roads have tried hard
to discourage the practice the public
(has tried even harder to encourage, it.
Of course If the signals were never at
fault, this racing would not involvo
the possibility of a collision at the
crossing, but even then It would be a
risky policy, that should be frowned
upon. If the public would co-operate
as far as possible with the railway
officials in demanding a careful rather
than a speedy runr.lnjf of trains. Its
own safety would be promoted. The
"flyer" Is a creation of the public. The
call of th6 public Is for fast travel; it
should bo also for sate travel, with a
preference for safety rather than speed
If ft cannot have both.
In this connection it may not be amiss
to recommend to railway managements
In general the principles so successfully
established by General Manager Wil
liam F. Hallstead among the employes
of the Delaware, Lackawanna & West
ern company. He insists with all his
energy upon the maintenance of sched
ule time. When that time is unavoida
bly departed from he emphatically dis
courages reckless attempts to 'make It
up." The secret of safe travel, in hi
opinion. Is uniformity and regularity
In the movement of trains. His com
pany has fast trains, but they are
run at a steady rate of speed and tho
track la cleared for them. Under the
most careful system, some accidents
are Inevitable, but there Is no reason
why all roads should not be relatively
as free from- them' as the Delaware,
I-ackawanna & Western Is If all roads
were operated- with equal . Insistence
upon the cardinal principles that gov
ern Its management.
Many banks In Canada have already
refused to accept fur deposit American
silver coins, fearing that If Bryan wins
those coins would fail to their bullion
value, whereby the banks would sustain
a loss amounting to SO per cent. Of
course this fear is unreasonable, for
Bryan will not be elected nor will any
coin bearing the stamp of the United
States government be permitted by that
government to cheat Its holder. But it
exhibits In advance one of the conse
quences which would follow Democratic
success ' next November. Hitherto
American money has been regarded the
world over as good as gold.
The Scranton Times does not like The
Tribune's cartoons. That is natural
and also gratifying. They are not pre
pared with a view to capturing Dem
ocratic applause.
"The money of the I'nited Slates,
and every kiad or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good ns the best in the world. It must
not only bo current at its Cull face
value at home, but it must be counted
at par in nny and every commercial
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to tho farmer, the wage-earner and
the pensioner mast continue forever
equal in pun-hnsing niid debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to tiny gov
erunirnt creditor."--Mclilnloy in Hit
Speech of Acceptance.
The great trouble with the free silver
project as a political issue is that it
will not bear investigation.
The Opinion of a Statesman.
It Is worth while to repeat what
James O. Blaine suld in the United
States senate. Feb. 7. 1S78, on the silver
question, at a tlma when the bullion
value of a silver dollar was 39 cents
more than It is today. Said ha:
Our line of policy in a joint mowment
with other nations to remonetlie sliver
las proposed by the ttt. Louis platform
Is simple and direct. The dilllcult prob
lem is what we shall do whun we aim to
re-establish silver without the co-operation
of !0m-o:caii powers, und really nn
advance movement to coerce these powers
Into the same policy. Kviduitly the first
dictate of prudence Is to coin such a dol
lar ns will not only do Justice among our
citizens ut home, but will prove n pio
tectlon, nn almost barricade against :he
gold monometalllsts of Europe, who, when.
ever the opportunity offers, quickly draw
from us the l1tiu.uiiu.uiJ0 I now iil2.W.UO0 of
gold coin we now hold. If we coin a sllvor
dollar of full legal tender, obviously below
tho current vulue of the gold dollar, we
are simply opening our doors and inviting
Europe to take our gold. With our gold
(lowing out from us we shall be forced to
tho single standard and our relations with
the leading commercial countries of the
world will not only be embarrassed hut
crippled.
The proposition then before congress
was the free, unlimited and Indepen
dent coinage of silver dollars of 412V&
grains each. Mr. Blaine continued:
At current rates of silver the free coin,
age of a dollar containing 4l2'(i grains,
worth In gold about 92 cents, gives an :l
legitimate prollt to the owner of the bul
lion, enabling him to take !2 cents worth
of It to the mint and get It stamped as
coin and force his neighbor to take it for
a full dollar. This Is an unfair advantage
which the government has no right to
give to tho owner of silver bullion, and
which defrauds the man who Is forced
to take the dollar. It surely follows that
If we give free coinage to this dollar of
Inferior value and put It In circulation we
do so at the expense of our better coinage
In gold; nnd, unless we expect the Invari
able experience of other nations to be In
some mysterious way suspended for our
peculiar bentdlt, we Inevitably lose our
gold coin. It will How out from us with
the certainty and force of the tides. What
gain, therefore, should we make for tho
circulating medium if, on opening tho gate
for silver to How In we open n still wider
gate for gold to flow out? If I were to
venture upon a dictum on the silver
question I should declare that, until Eu
rope remonetlzes silver, w cannot afford
to coin a dollar as low as 4124 grains. If
we coin too low a dollar before general re.
monetlzatlon our gold will leave us. If
we coin too high a dollar after general
remonetlzation our silver will leave us. It
is only an adequate value before and after
general remonetlxation that will preserve
both gold and silver to us.
If that was true of silver dollars
worth 02 cents, how much more fool
ish and dangerous would be the attempt
to give free coinage to dollars worth
only 63 cents? Mr. Blaine further
said:
Were congress to pass a law today de
claring that every legal tender note and
every national bank note shall hereafter
pass for 95 or W cents on the dollar, there
is not a constituency In the I'nited States
that eould re-elect a man who supported It,
und In many districts the representative
would b lucky If he escaped merely with
a defeat at the polls. Yet it is almost
mathematlcully demonstrable that tho
same effect will follow from the coinage
of an inferior silver dollar. Assurances
from empirics and scientists In finance that
remonetlzation of the former dollar will
at once nnd permanently advance Its value
to par with gold, aro worth little In the
fare of opposing and controlling facta.
That remonetlzation will have a considera
ble effect in advancing the value of the sil
ver dollar is very probable, but not enough
to overcome the difference now existing
a difference resulting from causes Inde
pendent of our control in the United
Slates.
The difference then between the bul
lion values of the gold and sliver dol
lars was only 8 cents; to-day It Is 47
cents. If we couldn't bridge: an 8-cent
chasm by independent free coinage in
1878, when many nations were favora
bly disposed towards silver, how can
we hope to bridge a 47-cont chasm now
by such action in the face of the opposi
tion of the principal nations of th
world ?
Will the Scranton Times, which loves
to quote from Mr. Blaine's speeches,
please answer?
Senator Cnffrey of Louisiana regards
Bryan as the candidate who favors "pri
vate robbery, spoliation and public dis
honor." In view of the fact that Sen
ator Caffrey Is a Democrat, his testi
mony is evidently entitled to Democrat
ic consideration.
On the Right Track.
We are glad to welcome the acces
sion of the Philadelphia Press to the
list of Republican journals which de
cline to regard the money question, as
It has been presented In the Chicago
platform, the paramount Issue of this
campaign. It now says what The Tri
bune has contended all along, that "If
it were not for Democratic tinkering
with the tariff there would be no silver
question worth bothering about." Our
contemporary, with Indisputable cor
rectness, adds: . .
Tho strength of the silver movement now
It wholly with the farmers and planters,
whose complaint Is low prices. Nothing
has contributed so much to that result as
the tarjff leglslatkm which closed faotorks
and mills and lessened' the demand for
these agricultural products while opening
the door to lnc;tased Importations of for
eign agricultural products. The receipts
exceeded the expenses ns long as the Re
publicans were In control But when thy
went out deficits began. The $1UJ,G(K,000
gold reserve, never before trenched upon,
was depleted to meet expenses. Bonds had
to be sold and distrust and business para
lysis followed. That took place before
the repeal of the silver purchasing act,
demonstrating that It was not the effe:t
of the rental of that law, and the same
condition continued after that law way
repealed, showing that the sliver question
figured very little In the matter. The tar
iff was to blime. The lack of revenue, tn9
closing of m'.liy nnd lack of work, the loss
of confidence, the lessened demand f.T
American products at home, and thcritul
latory legislation which shut out our
products abroad, the Increased taxation
from the iaU of bonds, the stoppage of
public works, nnd the general paralysli
of business were due to the tariff tinker
ing. Tho threat of free silver has helped
to mUe matters worse. H"t to ay that
a cvre ren be brought about mM"vit
tariff legislation Is almost as ridiculous
as to say that It can be done by the frot
and unrestri i.d coinage of silver.
The silver question has figured In the
problem to this extent: It has enabled
the Democratic free traders to shift the
Issue away from the responsibility rest
ing upon them as n consequence of tho
mischief wrought by the Wilson bill.
Th Press hns hitherto helped the Dem
ocrats out of their dilemma by ucce:t
Ing their challenge to charge the sub
ject tf debate. It evidently begins to
perceive that this was a mistake. It
now apparently discovers that the re
peal of the Sherman silver purchasing
act. Involving as It did Republican
stultification, was n gratuitous work
that would never have been rendered
nrcessnry had Protection heen let alone.
U discerns that Republican co-operation
In Mr. Cleveland's unnccersary
war on sliver lias had the effect to force
the Republican party Into a semblance
of hostility to the white metal that finds
little favor among the Republican
masses, and that lias had the unexpect
ed effect to push Into prominence a
proposition, with strong backing, for
unlimited free coinage which would not
have gained serious vitality but fur the
precipitate willingness of the Republi
can leaders, two years ago, to enroll
themselves under the Democratic ad
ministration's anti-silver banner.
While in this mood of accurate rea
soning, the Press would do well to re
mark that with Protection again re
stored, carrying with It abundant reve
nues, increased business activities and
a renewed balance of trade In this coun
try's favor, it will In all likelihood be
possible for the next Republican admin
istration to resume the coinage of
American silver In such restricted
amount as will involve no Jeopardy to
the Interconvertlblllty of all our dollars.
Such a statement would not only be In
the direction of reasonable prophecy,
but It would also tend to break the
force of the claims of the free silver
men that the Republican party has put
itself under the thumb of the limited
Wall street clement which appears to
have captured the present administra
tion, body and soul.
Proper as it 13 to oppose with i mpha
sls the rash suggestion of independent
and unlimited free coinage at the im
possible ratio of 16 to 1, the fact should
not be Ignored that the traditional pol
icy of the Republican party is in favor
of safe bimetallism, which means as
liberal a coinage of silver as can be sus
tained at a parity with gold. There
cannot be too many dollars, provided
they are all good and honest dollars.
"The Republican party stnnds for
honest money nnd the chance to earn
it by honest toil.".. William McKin
ley.
Representative Dolllver, of Iowa, sat
next to Mr. Bryan when the latter was
In congress. Mr. Dolllver says: "The
burden of his talk was 'calamity,' 'wipe
out the tariff and prices will double.'
That was the panacea. Free silver was
not mentioned by Democrats then.
Then the Democrats said: 'You are
lame, but our Dr. Bryan can fix you.'
We believed them; they put us under
the opiate of 'boy oratory, and when
we came out our leg was gone. Now
they say: 'Dr. Bryan was slightly In
error; come Into his office again; he cut
off the wrong leg." He says: 'I have a
new remedy, discovered in Idaho, called
18 to 1 or the C0-cent dollar, and war
ranted to kill or cure.' " But with one
leg off through his previous quackery,
the American voter is not now yearning
for a new operation.
A free silver writer complains that
New York state has $300 per capita
while Arkansas has only $12. But we
don't see how the relative difference will
be changed one particle by the enact
ment of a law cutting both states'
money down Into BO-cent dollars. Do
you?
Mr. Singerly, candidate for elcctor-at-large
on the Democratic ticket, predicts
that McKinlcy will have 400,000 plurality
over Bryan In Pennsylvania. If this is
the Democratic estimate, what figures
shall Republicans employ?
THEIR WAGES IN PERIL
Chauncey M. Depew, president of the
Ntw York Central railroad. Is very much
interested In the effect thu passage of a
free silver measure would have upon iha
railroad employes of the country. Be
says: "It would affect them worse than
any other laborers. The reason Is plain
and can easily be understood. The rail
roads of this country owe altogether
t.0UO.0(X,O0O worth or bonds, which are al
most all payable In gold. If we receive
pay In silver for our work In carrying
freight and passengers we will have to
buy gold to pay our Interest, as gold, of
course, will be driven out of the country.
That will compel us to economize In every
direction, unless the public permits us to
charge silver rates or double prions. Un
der such conditions we would have to pay
the men In sliver. As the price on gold au
vanced, as it would, steadily and surely,
employes' wages would be reduced from
one-third to one-half.
"When M comes to what men may buy,
the silverites tell the farmers that with
free silver they will obtain twice as much
for their food products. Grant that to
be true, and see In what condition the rail
road laborer will find himself from the on.
eration of both forces. He will receive
from 03 to W oer cent, less money each
montl and will have to pay twice as
muchjfor what he eats. This Is not an Idle
argument, for there are more than 800,000
men in the employ of the railroads of this
country and on the coy rolls. Their em
ployment Is better than that of the expert
mechanic, because it 1a steady. The car
penter Brd meson and others suffer from
labor strikes and hard times. Then there
are seasons when the wenther prevents
work, and they are Idle many days in the
year. The railroad man, however, has
work ell the year.
"In the Argentine repu'bllc when It went
to a rasr basis, which was Irredeemable
In gold, the railroads were permitted to
double their rates to meet tho changed
conditions. The railroads at once fixed
thefr rates of currency In gold, and, as the
prices fluctuate to A better rate, meet the
difference. That would not 'be permitted
In this country. Fancy the New York
Central asking permission of the legisla
ture to make the fare from New York to
Albany S8. Yet that Is the only manner
In which we could keep up the pay of our
employes.
"The populist has an IdeA that th rail
road han some mysterious manner . of
making money. However, we have no
source of Income except the money we re
ceive from freight and passenger traffic.
For the year ended June 30, 1SW, the New
Vnrlr rVmtrnl crnol tif .Sill OM Out nf
that we paid fui.OOO.Olk) to employes. The
operating expersej, taxes and wages
amounted to JSluKV.eOO. The Interest on
cur bonds, payable in gold, amounted to
t4.170,'XJ0. The rental of lensed linos, pay
able In gold, amounted to Ji,88.iW0, so. you
see. P. fre sMver bill would cost us J10,
CCO.iCO a year, ptrt of which would have to
ccrne out of ths employes.
"Railroads, h vvtr, are not the oniy
corporations which nre r'.milarly situated.
The telegraph rcmj.unles are In exactly
the same boat. Thev employ nearly as
n::iny m.?n as liio railroads und their em
ployes' wages would be cut the sanie way.
As a niftter of fact, eight-tenths of the
ecr xnations have bonds which are paya
ble in cold, nnd five silver would have tho
same effect on all of them."
ttli. CONNKI.L I'Ull CONGRESS.
From the Wilkcs-Uurre Record.
The factional discord that has for years
been so acrimonious, und only last spring
so rent the party in Scranton us to re
store the Democrats to full power in thu
municipality, has seemingly disappeared,
at least from the surface. William Con
mil Is now apparently In complete and
undisputed leadership, and unless all
signs fall he will on Tuesday be nomlnat.
ed for congress without opposition.
Mr. Council has had a long and severe
struggle to uttuln the supreme leadership
In the party which he now holds practi
cally undisputed. He is today not merely
the acknowledged leader of the Republi
can party In Lackawanna, but a more
potent factor In state and even national
politics than any other man in northeast
em Pennsylvania.
We assume that William Council will be
nominated and elected to congress. His
election will add a practical tumlners man
to the house of representatives, and there
can be no cuestion that he will be the
same forceful man In congress that he
has been In every position In which he
has been placed In the business and finan
cial world, where he came In contact with
strong and brainy men.
AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
From the Troy Times.
The Troy Times calls attention to a
comprehensive article on the fifth page
of today's Issue from the Scranton Trib.
une. It presents an argument that is un
answerable and can be- well and profit
ably studied by all voters. Special atten
tion Is called to the fact that under the
last Republican administration there was
no scare from the export of gold. It is
well to remember, moreover, that under
President Harrison the national debt was
greatly reduced, while under the present
administration there has been an increase,
principal and interest, of over $T00,000,000.
According to the well authenticated fig
ures of The Tribune, the change In ad
ministration has cost the people nearly a
billion dollars. It has been an expensive
luxury and now the voters are asked to
perpetuate the power of Democracy and
add thereto the experiment of free coin
age. REASON WILL CONQUER.
From the Times-Herald.
There will be a speaker on every stump
this fall. The rural achoolhouses will
throb with the perspiring eloquence of the
young men, and half the people of every
county will assemble at their county seat
at least once to hear some man of broader
fame discuss the Issues of the hour. It
will be a great campaign, with blind un
rest yielding to sober reason's guidance
In the end.
WHAT IT WOULD MEAN.
From the Times-Herald.
Bryan's election would mean the fore
closure of every mortgage, tho tightening
of the grip of money-holders on their
funds, loss of confidence at home and
abroad in short, the intensifying of hard
times.
WHILE THE HEART BEATS
YOUNG.
While the heart bents young! O the splen
dor of the Spring,
With all her dewy Jewels on, is not so
fair a thing
The fairest, rarest morning of the blossom
time of May
Is not so sweet a season as the season of
today
While Youth's diviner climate folds and
holds us, close caresseu,
As we feel our mothers with us, by the
touch of face and breast;
Our bare feet In tho meadows, and our
fancies up among
The airy clouds of morning while the
heart beats young.
While the heart boats young! While the
heart beats young!
O green and gold old Earth of ours, with
azure overhung
And looped with rainbows! grant us yet
this grassy lap of thine
We r-oiid be still thy children, through
the shower and the shine!
So pray we, lisping, whispering, in child
ish love and trust.
With our beseeching hands and faces lift
ed from t'ie dest,
By fervor of the poem all unwritten and
unsung.
Thou glvcst us In answer, while the heart
beats young.
