county committee effected yesterday by
tno re-election of John IT. Tlinm.is nt
chairman and Janus Y.. Watklns- an
secretary, together with the selection f
Major T. P. Penman as treasurer, will
give assurance to the Tiepubllc.tn voters
of the county that a determined nnd

Bimetallism, Real and False.
With the possible exception of John
Sherman there In no other living Ameri
can ranking so liiph na a safe, ptmlent
and thorough authority on finance as
does Senator Allison, of Iowa. Mr. AJ
lison was chairman of the I'nited States
delegation to the I'.russels monetary
conference of ISM, and in that position
made an exhaustive study of the state
of European sentiment for international
bimetallism. He has recently embodied
In a public letter his views as to the pros
pect for an international bimetallic
agreement. He declares that ho is still
of the belief that such nn agreement
within a reasonable time is probable,
and gives at length his reasons for such
a thought.
He lays stress upon the fact that In
England there Is a growing sentiment
for International bimetallism, embrac
ing her political economists, her profes
sors of universities, as also her manu
facturers, agriculturists, ship-owners
engaged In foreign trade, and many of
her leading hankers, and those especial
ly trading with her dependencies, chiefly
with India, embracing all classes. These
are united Into a formidable organiza
tion to promote bimetallism. On the
continent the states Of the Latin union,
except , Switxerland, are practically
united. There Is a strong sentiment In
Germany In the same direction. The
International blmetallists are thorough
ly organized In Prance, Germany, Bel
gium and Holland. They have the full
sympathy of their governments In
France, Belgium and Holland and
largely the support of the public repre
sentative men In both Germany and
England. Very recently, . the prime
minister of France, addressing the Bi
metallic league of France, declared that
"under the pressure of events and ow
ing to the distress of the people there
waa everywhere springing up a move
ment In favor of bimetallism, which ac-
quired strength as It. went and carried
with It peoples, parliaments and bov
ermnents. It has grown In England, In
ISolfrlum, In Germany and In America.
There was but an electric spark want
ing In order that this movement mlRht
become universal and might extend
from one end of the earth to the other.
They could remain assured that that
spark would come he knew not when
nor how but It would come In obedi
ence to the force of circumstances and
because when a question was right
was sure to work out its solution." This
opinion has been expressed In other
words by scores upon scores of Europe's
foremost statesmen, and Is really the
dominant prophecy In contemporary
European politics.
The significance of all this to Ameri
cans at this time consists of the fact
that a false step by this country might
sacrifice the whole prospect of Interna
tional action. It Is no lonRor denied In
any quarter that the attempt by this
nation to solve the silver problem Inde
pemlently would throw us upon the sil
ver basis, drive our gold over to Europe,
thus easinff Europe's strain, and destroy
perhaps for generations the conditions
that are now making for international
concurrence In silver's restoration. Such
a result would be only of temporary
benefit to the American silver product
soon the International level of silver's
decline would prevail In this country
also; wo should have lost our cold only
to Und In Its stead a metal dally becom
ing of lower value and decreased use
fulness In the making of International
exchange; and the necessity would con
front us either to live in total commer
cial isolation with no foreign trade savi
in the mutter of Indispensable Imports,
or to attempt at enormous cost to get
back to the gold standard.
In other words, bhnc talllsts In this
country are asked to choose between
the advice of men like McKlnley, Harri
son, Heed, Allison, Cullom and Sher
man statesmen of demonstrated wis
dom ami varied experience on the one
hand, and that of men like Tilman, Alt
geld, Waite, Coxey, Watson and Uryan
on the other. Can any thoughtful voter
hesitate over such a choice?
The Seranton Times complains that
under the last year of Harrison's ad
ministration there waa a deficit of
$.ri,tW0,OuO. Six years ago It found fault
because there was a surplus. It is hard
to please.

It will be seen that not only do wages
In gold-standard countries average
much higher than In sliver-standard
countries, but that the purchasing
power of those wages la nearly double
the purchasing power of the wages paid
In silver-standard countries. In other
words, labor gets nearly twice aa much
pay in gold-standard countries as In
silver-standard countries, and that pay
in turn buys twice as much, making
labor four times better off where gold
Is the standard than where silver is.
' In the. light of these figures, how can
the f re-traders now masquerading as
free ailverltea hava the hardihood to
claim that the American workingman
would be benefited by having his dollar
debased fifty rer cent, and the prices
of the articles that he buys multiplied
by two?
Our goad friend, Ben Johnson, informs
the public that he doesn't think the
tariff is the issue. Mr. Johnson is one
of the men who used to say that If the
Democrats could Just get one nice
whack at Protection there would be no
end of prosperity in consequence. Now
that they've had that whack, with re
sults too painful to mention. It is small
wonder that he would like to change the
subject.

Speech of Acceptance.
The free silver orators and editora
still fail to explain how the free coinage
of the white metal would benefit the
workingman. If the latter owned silver
bullion In large quantity, ns the west
ern tnlne-owners do, we could see how
It would be to his Interest to have flfty
throe cents' worth of that bullion coined
into a dollar but Innsmucli as he would
have to work hard for his wages In
any event, the benefit to come to him
from Leintr paid for such work In in
ferior dollars Is not discernible by us.
Will the Seranton Times kindly make
this point clear?
The Civil Service Reform Association
of Pennsylvania announces that It gives
Its cordial approval to the main features
of the civil sen-ice bill recently drafted
at Senator Quay's suggestion. It will
suggest some amendments, notably one
extending the system to any city, coun
ty, township or borough; but for once
It finds occasion to extend Its approval
to a policy originating with the state's
Junior senutor. This fact Is of suffi
cient importance to warrant conspicu
ous mention.
The government spends 127,000,000 an
nually on salaries for clerks who reside
In Washington. If free silver would cut
the purchasing power of these salaries
down one-half, how would this effect
the merchants of Washington? The
same question is applicable to all cities
where there are wage earners at fixed
salaries. Let the clerks of Seranton
think It over.
Philadelphia Press: "Candidate WIl
llani Connell, nominated Tuesday In the
Eleventh district, will be a useful and
valuable representative, both for the
district and the Btate. His election Is
certain and the district Is to be congrat
ulated on placing Mr. Connell in ser
vice." Senator Quay Bays: "This silver craze
Is only a bubble. It won't be very long
before it bursts, and by the middle of
September the whole country will know
that McKlnley will be elected." We
don't think the country has much doubt
on that point to-day.
Our Democratic neighbor Is unable to
understand why The Tribune did not
quake with fear over the result In Ala
bama. It evidently thinks that the car
rying of that state by the Dcmocrnts
was the most wonderful victory since
the Dutch captured Holland.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
As Viewed by the Enemy.
Seranton Times (Silver Dem.): "No good
soldier ever careH to belittle the stretmth
of tho enemy with whom he Is to do bat
tle. Thi records of war utfd polities are
strewn with stories of defeats caused by
over confidence while little damage Is not
to follow an overestimate of the opposing
forces. It is well, therefore, to look
squarely at the fact that the ticket nomi
rated by tho Uickawnnna Republicans
docs not lack in elements of strength and
hat In order to achieve a notable victory
at the polls the Dtmocrats must put for
ward their best men and work harmon
iously together until election day. The
' publicans have put to the front as a
candidate for congress the acknowledged
leader of the party In this county, Mr,
William Connell. This Is no surprise to
the voters. For several weeks his nomina-
ion has btcn a foregone conclusion and
the prize fell to him without opposition
and without protest. The divisions that
wrecked the party last spring If they
still exist, are latent. They do not appear
on the surface and the Indications are that
tho Democracy will stand face to face
with the milted Republican party or so
much as remains of It ufter the advocates
of Uryan und Sewull have finished their
missionary work. of course ther
are varying opinions of Mr. Connell per
sonally, ns may be demonstrated during the
cu.mpuh.-n. He has spent all of his active
life In Seranton nnd It would be flying In
the face of facts to say that he has not a
large number of friends. To sum
the matter up it must be acknowledged
that he Is a strong candidate."
An Independent View.
Seranton Truth: "The nomination of
Mr. William Connell for congress by the
Republican convention of Lackawanna
county, was a fitting tribute to a repre
sentative citizen of brains, energy and
principle, who by sheer force of character
and unceasing diligence has risen above
tho Iron fortune of adversity and pushed
his way through many obstacles to a po
sition of honor. The sterling qualities oi
mind nnd heart that enabled Mr. Connell
to rise, from the humble position of a poor
driver boy in the mines, to that of an em
ployer of many men and the guiding spirit
of numerous industries, cannot fail to
make him a man of influence In congress.
In the course of his busy life he has run
the gamut of practical experience from a
mine boy to a millionaire coal operator.
and there are no Idle days In his calendar.
Many men of affluence use their wealth
to purchase leisure and social enjoyment,
but Mr. Connell is not of that class. His
dollars are- as active as he Is In the pro
motion of various Industrial enterprises,
and to his practical, purposeful energy
the city of Seranton Is largely Indebted for
Its progress. Mr. Connell has mingled
with the people from boyhood, as bread
winner and employer, and he thoroughly
understands their needs and aspiration!.
On the questions now uppermost In the
public mind his views are similar to those
we have frequently advocated In the
Truth. He Is a Arm believer In Protection
and sound money, and these doctrines
will hava In him an earnest and effective
supporter in the national house of reprt-1
centatlves. Never In tho history of tho
country was there greater need, In the na
tlonal leiiltluture, of men of practical ex
perience and so.nj views than there will
be In the coming congress, and the Re
publicans of Lackawanna county are to
be congratulated, therefore, on the tioml
nation of Mr. Connell, who Is so admirably
equipped to meet the exacting require.
merits of the situation. In addition to his
indomitable energy and personal familiar.
lty "Tith affairs, Mr. Connell Is a man of
broad and liberal views on all questions
affecting the welfr.re of the human fam
ily, and. should he be elected, the Inter-
ests of this (trowing city and section will
De well cared for in congress.
IN THE SAME BOAT.
From the New York Sun.
This Is a campuign for self-preserva'.ion
Democrats and Republicans are In the
same boat, whether they like the sltr.atton
or not. They must puil all together tn
this emergency to escape common destruc
tion. He.wever far apart they may have
been before, they are colnpelled by the
same self-mteict to work In unison n jw
Tho questions to be decided are whether
the national honor and credit shall be i re
served ..r sacrificed, and whether every
man's dollar s'nil; be kept at its full value
or be redtictd by about one-half. When It
conies to a matter of that sort people don't
stop to quarrel over trifles. When a man
Is selling- his goods or his labor or is lend
lug his money he does not lnuulra whether
the buyer or the borrower Is a Democrat
or Republican, but only whether he is
good pay or has good security.
Uryan calls himself a Democrat and Sic
Klnley is a Republican; but of whut worth
are mere party names In this campaign?
McKlnley and Uryan ure only ngureheuus
of two opposing policies. It people want
their dollar cut in two, they will vota tor
liryan. McKlnley simply stands for finan
cial honesty and business security. Ills
party name amounts to nothing. If you
want to save your property and prevent
the reduction of the purchasing power of
your wages you will vote for him. If your
devotion to the mere name or Democrat is
so strong that you are determined to stick
to Hryan, though he has sold out the Dem
ocracy to Populism, why, go ahead ami
make the saerlllee of half your capital
In property accumulated or In marketable
labor. The money la your own. aim you
can burn it If you think best The saving
of money, however, is more generally pop.
ular. Oettlng It Is heard enough, and
keeping It l harder; and peonle nre not
accustomed to throw it away simply to
gratify the vanity of a Populist candidate
for the presidency. Hut, as the wise hook
savs. a fool nnd his money are soon part
ed. The only course for sensible men to
pursue In this campaign is to beat Hryan
in order to save themselves, using the
best means for the purpose they have nt
hand. It Is no time for bowing and scrap
ing, and for supersensltiveness about tnc
punctilious of political etiquette. Hryan
for his own part, has not been iqueamldh
about allying himself with the Popullstle
repudlators, and he does not cry because
thev nbusH the Democracy. Generally
they are a rough-mannered lot. He ts
trying to get Into the white house, and he
does not stop to trouble himself about the
mud he is getting on his boots In the bogs
through which he has laid his ambitious
path.
Uryan and the political speculators be
hind him have saeriliceu me ueiiiueriiey
In the effort to get power, and the only
mieatinn now Is If the Democracy are wm
tn uneriiice thomselves and their
money to help their betrayers?
