They claim the Bold dollar or Us equivalent buys too much. Is that. a fault? What worklngirmn wants to re dure the purchasing power of his wage? Senator Quay to Retire. The published announcement of Sena tor Quay's Intention to retire from pub He lite at the end of his present term does not surprise those who have shared his confidence. Although thin Is the first time the public has been in formed of It, the fact has been known for a considerable time within the circle of his Immediate friends. The resolution was formed more than two years ago, and It was emphasized when the senator won his famous battle of last August. Senator Quay hns been active In poli tics for more than thirty years. He has run the gamut of political excitement, responsibility and vicissitude. The fu ture at his age hoi Is out no new prom ise of alluring political conquest. From the humble station of a country editor he has risen to tin position of United States senator, with a reputation for po litical generalship superior to that of any contemporary. He has been suc cessful In every' serious undertaking and has well earned a permanent rest. Circumstances may yet force a recon sideration of his present intention, but the probabilities are that It will be car ried out as announced, and that the duties of Republican leadership In the foremost Republican state in the union will soon devolve upon younger should ers. - It will remain for Pennsylanlans to discover, after he shall have retired to private life, how much they have been Indebted to his Incomparable sagacity. The public has heard much concerning his faults, and much more concerning what envious rivals or embittered op ponents have falsely depicted as his faults. But Tom Reed's definition of a statesman as a politician who la dead will be found to apply with exceptional nicety to Matthew Stanley Quay when he shall be no more In the pathway of other men's ambitions, and no longer the target of detraction and calumnia tion. Possibly then the publlo will do him Justice. It la not dodging the money question to say that until Protection was stricken down, and we took to buying our goods from foreigners instead of making them roraelvts, the money, of tha United States was generally satisfactory and universally acceptable at its face value. And it is not illogical to conclude that if the prosperity-creating condition of Protection be adequately restored, our present money system will again be found to be as good as any system known. , Every man who wants the tariff Issue shelved has a reason for preferring another subject of discussion. Republi cans are not afraid to discuss the tariff. Why are Democrats? "The Republican party stands for honest money and the chance to earn it by honest toil." '' WILLIAM M'KINLEV. Edward Atkinson Is a smart man who sometimes forgets to make due allow once for the fact that not all persons are his intellectual equals. His argu ments against free silver are strong, but the epithets with which those argu ments are often Interspersed are weak. Mr. Atkinson will not make converts by calling names. The Triumph of Pingree. Mayor Pingree, of Detroit, whom the Republicans of Michigan, after one of the hottest lights in the state's history, have Just nominated for governor is an Interesting man. He is pre-eminently a man of original Ideas, some of which are perhaps a litttle visionary, but all of which bear the stainfi of a robust per sonality, and are advocated with virile force. He originated the project of cul tivating vacant lots In behalf of tho poor. He forced the street railways of Detroit to come down to a three-cent fare. He defeated the combined oppo sition of the newspapers of Detroit in several tests of municipal power. And, most curious fact of all, he Is under stood to be a free silver man Impreg nated with much of the geographical prejudice of his section, and conse quently out of touch with the St. Louis platform. Yet he has been chosen to lead the Republican hosts In one of the Important doubtful states, and the plat form on which he runs unequivocally Indorses the St. Louis deliverance. Arrayed against him In the Grand Haplils convention were forces that or dinarily would seem Invincible. Every corporation owning property In Michi gan opposed his nomlnaton. Ex-Sena tor McMillan, who for ten years has been the Quay of the Wolverine state, was against hltn. Kx-Senator Ferry was against him; the newspapers were against him: the more extreme gold standard men were against him and many of the so-called "machine" poli ticians were actively engaged ngainst him. It would have been no indication of weakness had he been beaten by a largo majority. Instead of that he has routed the allied forces and enters upon the state campaign with a personal prestige greater than that of any man who has appeared in Michigan politics since the palmy days of Each Chandler. The working clauses, the farmers, the great middle class of taxpayers regard less of party believe In his honesty, are convinced of his courage and are there fore willing to overlook minor faults. Strange to say, the nomination of Pin gree, the silver man, bids fair to be a chief cause why Michigan will be car ried for McKlnley and the gold stand ard. The gold men recognize that Pin gree as governor cannot do appreciable Injury to the'eause of sound money, and the' silver men will' support him 1n a spirit of fellowship. With both wings of the party flopping his way, and with a large personal following among the Democrats, he seems assured of an elec tion and will unquestionably add im petus to the success of the Republican electoral ticket. All of which goes to re-lnforce the opinion that western politics on both' sides constitute an in teresting subject of study. Even free coinage men admit that the fall In silver was due to world-wide causes. Yet they want tnis nation, which Is merely one In a large family of great nations, to attempt by Itself to lift silver up again. Does It look rea sonable that we could succeed? Is it worth while to Incur the risk of failure? For Women to Consider. One of the most effective sound money arguments yet produced comes in the shape of a circular to women Issued by the women's department of the Buffalo City bank. It puts In sim ple form some practical phases of th money question. "Bear in mind," It says, "that free coinage of silver means the doubling In prices of all you buy for the dally support of your families. By care and economy you have arranged so that you can live well and have something over every year; or perhaps you are Just able to make both ends meet. Under free coinage all this will change. The sum you are saving mill be swept out by doubled prices, or if you are Just able to pay expenses now, you will be forced into debt and poverty by the rising market under free silver. "Wages, salaries and incomes will not rise when, other things do under free coinage. If they rise at all it will be very slowly and never will equal the advance of prices. This is posi tively proved by the experience of our own and other countries. Are you In favor of higher prices for necessaries of life, when It Is a continual struggle to keep household expenses within the bounds of income? A vote for free silver is a vote to increase the cost of living without power to Increase wages or Incomes." , In proof of this last assertion the following statistics are given: In 18ti0 the United States was. and had been- for many years, on a gold basis. Wages were then paid In gold or Its equiv alent. The war of the rebellion opened In lsttl. During the war the government is sued paper money in the same manner that the silver people want It now to la- aue silver money. Under paper money, prices advanced rapidly and wages ad. vnnced slowly, so that in Hits, while wages advanced 43 per cent., prices of the nece. Mir lea of life had advanced 117 per cent The depreciated paper wages of the la borer during the war were aa follows: 1X63 76 cents Instead of a gold dollar. ISM to cents instead of a gold dollar. 18tK CO cents instead of a gold dollar. The iwomen of the country are then asked if they want such conditions as these to be repeated. There Is no rea son to doubt the nature of their reply. The Tribune bids cordial welcome to its young contemporary, the Sabbath De fender, the first numbea of which is now before the public. The Defender stands for "the Sabbath and the flag," declares for six days of labor and one day for rest and makes out in the course of its eight neat pages an unanswerable case. Its editor. Rev. F. A. Dony, is equipped with experience as well as zeal, and we congratulate him on his journal's good appearance. "If we can create values by law, lot us divide by half each furlong and double the. acreage of every farm in the United States. Wre can make by la.v eight quarts for a bushel and multiply the wheat product of the United States, but will It fill a bigger bin? You may by law call six Inches a foot, and men now six feet high .will be twelve, but will there be giants In that day?"-Sen- ator Thurston, at Milwaukee. Isn't it a trlile singular, come to think of It, that the Democratic party never found a word of fault with the gold standard from the time of Its thorough establishment in 187S down to the day when a deficiency tariff up set American Industry and spilled the milk of American prosperity? Congressman Mason surrounded the whole subject when at Milwaukee the other night he said: "Give us back a protective tariff that gives employ ment to labor, and you will hear na more talk about flat money or free silver." "Mr. Bryan, when he voted for the Wilson bill, said that he only voted Tor it because it was a step In the right direction. Where would we land after a morning walk In that direction?" Congressman Fowler of New Jersey, The assertion that the senate will stand firm for free silver no mivtter how the election goes overlooks one fact. Even the senate dare not remain deaf to an emphatic expression of public opinion. THE CASE OF MEXICO. A letter from the City of Mexico, printed 1n tho Chicago Times-Herald Monday morning, Aug. S, contains, as that paper Itself says, more truth, simply and clearly told, about "prosperity" in Mexico than nil the speeches and niauazlne articles that have appeared for a considerable period. The writer of that letter has a salary of Jia a month He pays $20 a month for a house which consists of three or four connecting rooms, all on the ground Moor, built around an open court, which is common lawn, play ground and backyard for six or eight other families, living under the same roof. It is to be remembered that a Mexican npnrtmcnt-houso is nil on the ground lloor. II II II Tho ordinary furnishing of such a house for tho middle class natives consists of a bed, an iron frame painted blue, with little bits of gold paint, a woven wire mattress. clamped between the head and foot boards. costing IIS, and the mattress and pillows stuffed with wool or cotton costing $18 more. Illankets cost $3 each and sheets 62 cents a vara, which is three Inches less than a yard. The American Is somewhat depressed to Qnd.that he must be content with this plus a few extra sheets. His chairs, table and wardrobe, If ho cannot get along without such luxuries, will cost $11.1, although the material Is only stained pine and the cabinet making wretched. If ho can afford it he may buy a skele ton washstand with a toilet set of white enamel Ironware, the whole costing him $17. Bedroom suites, advertised in tho Times-Herald for from 15 to $:, cost In the City of Mexico from $l",0 to 200. There Is a native carpet. Inferior grade, selling for $1 for thirty-three Inches. American ingrain costs 1.25 to $-'.00 and Brussels I2.SU per vara. -II II II When it comes to food, the American is brought to a still keener realization of tho misery and logic of a free silver money standard. Coffee is BO cents a pound. The American accustomed to buying it of tho best quality at home for half the money asks an explanation. It Is ready. The foreign market fixes the price. Butter 75 cents, unvaryingly, for the best qual ity, the cheapest unsnlted from SO to CO cents the year round. Lard 24 cants a pound, ham and bacon 3H cents a pound, bread 12 cents a loaf and small, milk, di luted, the best, 10 cents a quart. Kerosene oil is bought in glass bottles for 12 cents a quart, the bottle costing 0 cents. Beef and mutton 18 cents, pork 20 cents. Scrao meat 10 to 12 cents. The least expensive cotton goods fit to wear are from 27 cents a vara to 40 cents. Muslin for underwear is IS cpMs a vara of narrow width, and the wider is 33 cents. II II II TIcw can people afford to buy such thinss when women household servants receive only $4 a month, men servants $8 a month, street car drivers 75 cents a day, conductors $1 and the average Mex ican clerk In store or office $35 to $53 a month? Kvery American who has trav eled in Mexico within recent years knows that these statements are absolutely true. The natives contrive to live because they are in a rudimentary condition of society. Probably the mass of the native Mexicans are comparatively happy on bread made of corn, ground In primitive fashion be tween stones. Very many of them wear but a single garment In the house, with one more in the rainy or cool season out of doors. Skilled labor, such as it Is, Is to be found only In the few large cities and its wage has been already Indicated. Thanks to tho climate, Httle money need be spent on fuel, and the typical native Mexican dwelling is not troubled with either chimney or nyeplace, or door or window. The floor is earthen and the furnishing of the typical home is of the scantiest. II II II Probably what Minister Romero, Gov ernor Atlgeld and a few others who have written about the prosperity of Mexico mean by that word Is that, being on a sil ver basis, the prices of its commodities are fixed by the gold standard of the for eign market and thus some producers make some money. (Mexico sold to the United States last year coffee to the value of $5,971,439. Her total export of coffee reached a value of $12,270,783. What prof. Ited 4hls export to tho native consumer? He was paid in silver and he trad -to pay for 'his coffee In a gold equivalent, that is to say, he was paid in a 54-cent dollar, and he had to buy his coffee on the basis of a 100-cent dollar. AN EXCELLENT TICKET. From the Industrial News. The Lackawanna county Republican convention waa held at Music Hall on Tuesday afternoon and as was expected, the congressional nomination waa unanl mously tendered to Mr. William Connell, The nomination of Messrs. Giles and S. W Roberts the present efficient county com missloners was a well-merited recognition of their faithful administration of the county's affairs during the past term, For county auditors, Messrs. A. E. Kiefer and F. L. Ward vcre successful. Both of inese gentlemen are well known to bust ness men and their ability to faithfully discharge the duties of the lmportan oince is unquestioned. MR. t'OXNELL'8 NOMINATION. From the Elmhurst Signal. The Republican county convention held at Scranton on Tuesday afternoon was a very orderly gathering of the Republi cans of Lackawanna. It was easy to ace that tho delegates had come together In a spirit of unity, and with a determine tion to do a work that would reflect with credit upon the party whose representa tives they were. Tho bestowment, by acclamation, of the nomination for congress upon William onnell, was a very kindly expression of the convention s appreciation of a gen tleman In whom the people have every conmience. In accepting that nomination Mr. Con nell put himself on record as willing to become the servant of the people if elect cd. This of itself Is a strong statement and should' be made by no one but a man who felt his own strength and power to discover what was best for the neople, and then possess the moral courage to do his duty. If Mr. Connell has these qualities, and we think he has. he Is In a position to make good nis wish. The electors will not for- get the declaration of this candidate that he will be the servant of the people and wnen after serving his term In congress, he returns to his constituents with a rec ord of faithful and true performance of duty, they will meet him and say of him 'this Is the servant of the people!' And tn-at is a recompense worthy the ambl tion of an honest man. A DEMOCRATIC? OPINION. From the Wilkes-Barre Record. A prominent Scranton Democrat In this city yesterday remarked that there w.n some doubt whether the Democrats of Iackawanna would be able to induce any desirable man to accept the congress nom ination against Mr. William Connell, who Is regarded us Invincible and certain of the Democratic vote ns against any one the party could place In the Held. He also remarked that there was no disaffection in the Republican party against Mr. Con nell. I Wcntlicr nnd Other Predictions for the Coining Week. Sunday, Aug. 9. Venus square to iMars.
