Coming to Their Senses.
We consider the address of the Utah
Republican executive committee, which
appears on our second page, one of tht
most significant public deliverances of
the present campaign. In Imitating the
recent action of the Republican exec
utive committee of Colorado In Indor;--inp;
McKlnley, the Republicans of Utah
simply (rive evidence of the triumph
of sober reason and common sense ov :t
hnbby-rldinff. '
In brief, this address, whll? yielding
nothing of Its fondness for free coln
arre. culls attention to the fact that
even If free coinage were to be estab
lished In company with free trade, as
the Democrats propose, it would brln
no relief to the honest tvorklngman
and therefore fall In Its chief purpoao.
Furthermore, the- address points out
that nothing; In the past record of the
Democratic party gives silver Repub
licans the right to expect that that
party would have cither the good faith
or the requisite legislative ability to
redeem Its present free coinage pludrte
If continued In power. Lastly, since the
Republicans of Utah are In complete
sympathy with every pla.nk of the Re
publican national platform save only
the money plank, and are just ns com
pletely out fif sympathy frith every
plank In the Democratic national plat
form save the free coinage plank, the
address urges them to trust In Repub
lican Intelligence and fairness to find
eventually an acceptable solution of
the silver problem, and advises them
In the meantime to support McKlnley
elector.
It Is unfortunate that this spirit of
reasonable acqutasence In the will of
the majority did not find earlier man
ifestation among the leading Republi
cans of the Bllver-mlnlng states. Had
' It done so; had there been no attempt
at Washington by the senators from
those states to hold up needed revenue
legislation out of pique because the
majority would not swallow Its sound
money convictions, and, finally, had
the attitude of the national delegates
from those states been less dictatorial
and defiant at St. Louis, It Is our opln
Ion that the Republican national plat
form would to-day hold out to the
silver element some prospect of recog
nition anterior to the consummation
of an international bimetallic agree
ment That, however. Is now past and gone;
the Issue has been drawn too tautly
for present compromise, and the ques
tion before all Republicans friendly to
silver Is whether they can afford to
permit that one cause of bias to lead
them off hi to a strange camp, which
1ot only rtar.ds for an uncertain and
untrustworthy promise of free silver,
but also for free trad"4, the degredatlon
of JJajg supreme court Into a tribunal
of pettifoggers, mob rule and all the
other odious "Isms" of Populism and
class prejudice. It Is a good slfin that
the Republicans of the west ars begin
ning to awaken to the folly of riding
their free coinage hobby Into the ditch
of the promiscuous chaos typified by
the candidacy of William Jennings
Bryan.
Considering the weather, Bryan cer
tainly has kept up the motion of talk
ing with a seal worthy of a better
cause. But It would be a good thing
for his future If he would tal- ess and
say more.
"The Republican party stand
Tor honest nioncv and the chance
to earn it by honest foil.
WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.

Sibley says he Is sorry he didn't run
for second place with Bryan. Well,
the chances are both Sewall and Wat
son would part with their empty honor
for a modest consideration.
The Issue in Brief.
After all, the real point In this free
silver discussion Is very simple.
Do the men and women of Scran
ton who have worked hard to put
savings In the banks or In the build
ing and loan associations want those
savings returned to them In SO-cent
dollars having only half the buying
power of the dollar put in?
Do the men and women who have
paid 100-cent dollar premiums on
life Insurance policies for the pro
tection of their loved ones In case of
death want the face value of those
policies to be paid over In GO-cent
dollars worth In buying power only
half the amount of the Insurance?
Do the men and women who work
for wages want those wages paid.
when earned, in Inferior dollars, the
coinage of which, they tell us, will at
once make dear the prices of the
things we have to buy?
If they do, the men should vote and
the women use their Influence for Bryan.
Otherwise, they should be for McKlnley,
Protection und Sound Money.
Although the Philadelphia regiments
are not wholly satisfied with the latest
ratings of National Guard, they have
the good sense 'to admit that the Thlr
teenth thoroughly earned Its honors.
This U a fact worthy of grateful
acknowledgment.
Bryan a Rabid Free Trader.
In a Bpeech delivered In General
Weaver's congressional district In Iowa
in 1894 William Jennings Bryan, thtf
present apostle of free silver, made
this remarkable declaration:
PROTECTION IS A SYSTEM OP TAX
ATION WHICH IS LEGALIZED ROH
ItKRY, CONCEIVED IN lXIyl lTY AND
HORN IN FRAP I) AND CORRUPTION
I DO NOT RELIEVE IN STOPPING
UNTIL THE LAST VESTIGE OF PltO
THCTION IS ERADICATED FROM
LEGISLATION.
The wage-earners of Scranton, during
the past three years, have had practical
experience with a partial "eradication
of Protection." Were the results Buch
as to cause them to vote for the comple
tion of the Job?
The Times' Washington correspondent
speaks, on the sixth page of yesterday's
issue, of the Improbability of the elec
tion of Bryan, and says that even if
Bryan should win, there would be
enough sound money members of the
senate "to stand like a stone wall
against the onslaught of the dozen rep
resentatives of the silver producing
inter-mountain states who are deter
mined that this country shall adopt a
financial policy which will cut us off
from equal commercial relations with
Europe and place us Instead upon a
plane with Mexico and the Central
American republics." Evidently the
Times' Washington correspondent does
not read the Times' editorial page.
The Rochester Post-Express is evi
dently prospering In spite of these Dem
ocratic times. It has just moved into a
handsome seven-story, fire-proof home,
equipped with the best conveniences.
Tho Post-Express always was a good
newspaper, but since its politics under
went renovation a few months ago it
has been one of the very best in the
country. All admirers of honest Journ
alism will note with pleasure these latest
evidences that Its merit is being suit
ably appreciated.
Because Senator Cameron's friends
helped Representative Kunkel, of Dau
phin to a re-nomination it has been In
ferred in certain quarters that Sena
tor Cameron Is himself a candidate for
re-election. This does not necessarily
follow. A man even when not a candir
date for office can remember a friend.
Let Cameron have fair play. There Is
no reason as yet to fear that he will
succeed himself In the United States
senate.
With its Issue of Monday the
Towanda Daily Review began its
eighteenth year of continuous publi
cation. The Review is the pioneer
penny local daily in Pennsylvania and
since U has been under the manage
ment of the McKee brothers has been
one of the best. The Tribune wishes
it many more happy anniversaries.
The day after Mr. Singerly declared
in his newspaper that he would stick
as a Democratic candidate for presi
dential elector, he resigned. He did
well. No man ought to be a candidate
for office on a platform which he does
not approve.
At Pittsburg Mr. Bryan truly said:
"Every political question must, if It
remains before the public long, be
based upon economic truths, and every
economic question is at last a moral
question, a question of right or wrong,
and no question has ever been settled
until It has been settled upon the
basis of what Is right. Thomas Jeffer
son never said a. truer thing than when
he said that the art of government is
the art of being honest." The people
of the United States will strive to re
member Jefferson's remark when they
come to vote on the proposition to
coin 53-cent dollars.
Bryan argues that free silver would
double money and prices, yet not In
crease taxation. But If It double?
prices, wouldn't he and the other poli
ticians want double pay?
The reputable physicians of Mich "gin
have banded togethf r for a legislative
war upon the omnipresent quaes.
Quackery is a good thing to suppress
in all walks of life.
Denial is made that Bryan is in the
pay of the silver ring. He certainly
isn't hired by gold men, and his In
come must have some source.
Since free sliver means a doubled
cost of living, why don't ths Bryanltes
explain how It can be made to give
the workingman a doubled Income?
Fr?? Silver and
th? Workingman
Ex-Congressman John DeWitt Warner,
In the Chlcaso Record.
In practice free coinage at 1G to 1 means
partial repudiation of our national debt;
pollution of every creditor, tavings bank
depositor, life or Industrial Insurance pol
icy holder and pensioner; the hampering
of our trade by conditions such us in
Mexico and China tax n rthants to sup
port exchange broker, and tha lowering,
until after years of readjustment, of the
purchasing power of salaries und wages.
To the extent that free coinage would
raise prices It would effectually reduce
wages. If tho wage earners of this coun
try want this, thty have the votes and can
have It. If they do not want It, they have
the votes and can defeat It.
II II II
If we went to a silver basis, as we
would do If we had free coinage, the men
who would profit are tankers, who ovn
the gold, and who would be permitted to
pay their depositors In depreciated silver.
It would be their depositors, who, hav
ing deposited money as good as gold,
wuflld be forced to accept depreciated sil
ver Instead. The Insurance companies
would profit, whose thousands of mil
lions of Investments are so largely in
mortgages, by their terms nude payable
In gold. The widow and the orphan would
suffer by having their policies paid In sil
ver, whose purchasing price would bo only
one-half as much as the gold that they
otherwise would receive. The capitalist
employer, with his Investments In land,
In factories and In every elus.i of wealth,
would see thein double In price upon his
hands almost at onre. His employe would
be paid In a currency which would buy
only half as much, and would thus havo
his actual wages reduced to Just that ex
tent. II II II
The free colnase advocates say gold has
risen In value. Suppose that t ills is true,
what Is Its effect upon our wage earners,
the majority of our voters? Take your
newspapers and look at wholesale prices
of goods and food. You will find that they
change daily and sometimes repeatedly
within the day. As to retail prices, you
know or If you don't your wife does
that they change pretty often In some
t hires every month or two and in some
things evtry week or two. Now take
wages. You know that changes are com
paratively rare generally not nrore than
once or twice a year end often only ence
or twice In two or three yaars. What noes
-that menu? It means that the price of
labor Is more conservative than are the
prices of the goods that labor buys. Hence
If our currency Is appreciating so as to
make a dollar buy more good there will
be weeks, months, perhaps years, during
which, while wases have not changed, a
man will ibe able to buy more with them
In other words, the appreciation of gold,
so long as wages are paid on a gold
standard, means that every laborer gets
more and more for the same amount of
wages. And that la certainly a good thing
for wage earners.
II II II
Take the opposite case. I have no doubt
that free silver legislation would In a
measure accomplish what Is friends claim
that Is, soon raise tho price of every
thing that ts bought to nearly. If not quite,
double Its present rate. Does any one Im
agine that wages would be doubled at
onee? Don't some of you remember how
It was In war time? Don't you know that
you would wait months and years for the
slow process of readjustment Dy strikes
and lockouts before your wage would
finally be raised In proportion? With the
wage earner, therefore, the free silver
case stands thus: The appreciation of
gold, of which the free sliver people com
plain, is the very process that will give
him more and more for the wages he
gets. The Inflation of prices the silver
men are lighting for Is the very thing that
will reduce the purchasing power of the
wages he gets and will thus decrease his
wages. It may be that wages are too
high in this country now. Personally I
do not believe such to be the case. If
they are too high however and It Is do
slrable that they should bo cut down,
then let us have that Issue frankly stated.
But let not our free coinage friends
clnmor for legislation, the first effect of
which would be to reduce by onc.half the
wages that each laboring man receives,
and at the same time Invite laboring men
to vote for such a programme without
telling them what the real effect would be.
II II II
Our silver friends say: "Would it not be
a good thing to have appreciation of sli
ver?" Why? If the laboring men of this
country wanted to sell sliver or were be
ing paid In silver there might be some
sense In It. But tho laboring men of this
country arc being paid In gold, not silver.
What I mean Is this: You take a sliver
dollar. There Is SO cents worth of silver
in It. You stamp tho government's In
dorsement upon It. It then passes for a
dollar, because the government's Indorse
ment says: "Redeemable In gold." So
that, our laborers are now getting paid in
gold values. What good would It do a
mnn who doesn't own silver, who doesn't
sell silver, who gets paid In gold values,
to have silver cost more?
II II II
But there Is another way to look at It.
About a year ago I heard Mr. Cannon,
now a senator from Utah, expound the sli
ver side of the free coinage question, and
he-went on to explain, lirst, that prices of
goods were low here because they were
measured In gold, and then that on ac
count of our wages here being paid In
gold which was costly and wages In In
dia, China and Japan being p'ild In silver
which wasn't worth only one.half what
It had been they had a BO per cent, ad
vantage; and that therefore there was
great danger of our manufacturers being
driven from the world's market, Do you
see what that means? Foreign wages
are so much lower than ours that, unless
prices ere Inflated hero In this country
so that our gold wages will buy no more
than their silver wages foreign employ
ers will have an advantage. Such Is the
argument. In other words, the proposi
tion for free coinage of silver Is prac
tically a proposition to cut the wages of
the laborers of this country squarely In
half In order to Increase the prolits of our
employers.
II II II
One more Illustration: Sir Henry Mey-
sey Thompson Is one of the leading silver
advocates. He offered a prize for a man
who would write the best essay to show
that China and India and oUier silver using
countries were getting an advantage over
England and a great many people com-1
peted. Mr. Jamieson. the British consul
t Shanghai, wrote so good a paper that
he was awarded the prise; and that essay
'la now the chief stock In trade of the
British agitation for the tree coinage of
silver. Let me read you something from
It. Here it is: "Wages In the gold-using
countries, have, through the appreciation
of gold, become 100 per cent, dearer than
they were relatively to silver wages; and
the manufacturer In the silver standard
countries can obtain his labor at half the
cost which he formerly paid." A similar
view Is taken by Senor Romero, the Mex
ican minister at Washington, In his ar
ticle In the North American Review for
June, 1S95. when he asserts that the de.
preciatlon of silver has favored Mexican
capitalists by cheapening the dollars tn
which they pay their employes. There Is
the silver question In a nutshell. It is
rimply a question as to whether our wage
earners aro getting too high wages.
They may as well face the question. If
wage earners believe they are getting too
high wages and that this country Is suf
fering In consequence all they have to do
is to take lower wages. If they prefer a
roundabout way they can favor free coin
age of sliver and they will get their waes
cut down half without any further troublo
on their part.
II II II
Personally, I do not believe that freo
coinage at 1G to 1 or at any other ratio
will help the American farmer. But sup
pose It would do so. What would be the
effect even then u:on American wage
earners? The farmer's Interest Is to have
everything he sells bring the highest price
possible and since he Is the greatest em
ployer of labor In America, he is most in
terested in cutting down the wages of
labor so as to get his hired help cheap.
Tho farmer wants free silver In order to
make bread and meat dear and wagos low.
The wage earner's Interest Is to have
bread and meat cheap and wages 'high.
If free sliver eofnace did all that tho
farmer claims, for It, it would help the
farmer classes at tho expense of tho wage
earners. It Is easy to sse why the farmer
wants to try the experiment. But why
should the wage earner help him? The
farmer sells bread and meat and wants
them dear; the wage earner buys them
and wants them cheao. The farmer pays
wages and wants them low; the wnge
earner receives them anil wants them high.
Tho farmer has started a free coinage
crusade for dear food and low wages;
wage earners will know better than to
help him against themselves.
II II II
In the light of our experleco with flat
money legislation, from the greenback to
the Sherman plg-sllver certificates, this
long suffering country will finally learn
that wealth Is not created by flat, but is
made by labor; that the law can put no
dollar Into any man s pocket unless It
II rut takes it from the pocket of some other
man, and that wage earners are first and
most interested in opposing Interferons
by law. There has never yet been mnde a
law to put Into any laboring man's pocket
a single dollar that ho did not earn, lis,
of all men, therefore, has the best right
to Insist that there shall be no law passed
that will raise the price of what he has
to buy, and thus take from him Some por
tion of what ho has earned.
A GOOD, CLEAN TICKET.
From tho Green Ridge Item.
Tho Republican ticket Is a good clean
ticket and will receive the hearty support
of ell the Republicans in the county. It
Is only a question of the size of the ma
jority. This Is no tlmo for kicking as the
country peeils the votes of every citizen
who believes in upholding the national
honor and the prosperity of tho working-
man; free trado fooled the masses four
years ago, but free trade and free silver
coupled with Altgeld, Tillman and an
archy will not go down this year. Pro
tection, Prosperity and Progress will be
the Republican campaign slogan and with
that able statesman, William McKlnley,
at the head of our ticket, victory will bo
assured.
