The orlRlnnl "JefTcrpnnlnn" Democrat cf Lackawanna county will now re ceive proper recognition whenever he may Bee fit to unmask. McKinley's Letter. Major McKinlcy's letter of ncccpi nnce, which l.i published In The Tri bune today, will ko down to history ns an unanswerable nrpumont against the evils that threaten the country In this season of unrept. As Mr. Mo Klnloy states in tho openitiK para graphs, In view of remarks: that have lioen made to vltdtlns delegations, it may seem unnecessary to Rive further consideration to the Issues bearing up on our future prosperity. Hut the. manly nnd patriotic utterances of tho champion of Protection at this time rvill no doubt be regarded with interest by oil who have the nation's welfare nt heart. As compared with the soph istry of the false prophets who seek to steal the hearts of the people by dema gogical appealp to prejudice and class hatred, thu honest and straightforward words of the Republican standard bearer stand out llko letters of fire, and the document will prove a bul wark before the onslaughts of the horde of theoiists who seek tho-destruction of our financial system. The Intelligent reader cannot fall to be impressed by the lucid manner In which the writer points out the real cause of the financial Ills that have created dissatisfaction In thu agricul tural districts nnd aroused a spirit of anarchy among tho unenlightened la boring (lasses. While no attempt is made at flowery rhetoric there Is a ring of genuineness In the statements made that forms a pleasing contra Jt to the recent Inflamatory utterancej that have at times been masked be hind dramatic oratory or scattered through so-called appeals in the Inter est of the down-trodden. In pointing out the way to peace nnd prosperity William McKinley has the advantage of his opponents in this great politi cal battle. His statements are based upon fact. History proves that his remedy for tho evils that now cxlrt la the one that will effect a speedy cure. The thinking man will have no fear of future disasters to the ship of stale with 'William McKinley at the helm. The election of A. J. Coiborn, Jr., of Bcranton, . to the state presidency of the Patriotic Order Sons of America, by the convention at Altoono. yester day, was a graceful tribute to worth and ability. It Is no disparagement i to other aspirants to the position cf honor to assert that the order probably does not contain a member so admir ably fitted for the position of state president as the brilliant and gifted Bcrantonian. "This country, "says the Philadelphia Tltves, "has coined more silver In the last eighteen years than any other country In the world, an J It has used Jt quite as freely In Us money system. It Is today an Integral part of our money, and would continue to be sq If agitators, demagogues and speculators wrs content to allow the government LABEL to maintain honest money for all class es and conditions by making every dol lar equal to the best dollar . of the world." They are the real enemies of a stable currency, yet they profess to be for that kind of a currency. Can the people be fooled? Efficacy of Cruisers. On the recent preliminary run made by the Cruiser Brooklyn, the new ves sel made 20.87 knots an hour and dem onstrated that she would bo able to claim the title of queen of the United States r.avy. It may be a matter of speculation on part of many to know why so much stress Is laid upon' the speed of the new ships, the notion being that ns their business Is to fight, speed is a com paratively small matter. Hut these cruisers are primarily commerce de stroyers: they are Intended to run down merchant vessels and capture the sup plies of the enemy. The faster they are, therefore, the better, not only that they may overtake swift merchant ships, but be able to escape fighting ships sent after them. There were tremendous fighting ships assembled at the opening of the ltultlc canal, but they did not attract a tithe of the at tention which one of our swift com merce destroyers did. Her evolutions thrilled spectators with the thought of the Immeasurable damage she could do to the commerce of a foe right under his very eyes, nnd escape before he could scud a heavy fighting ship with in range of her. Tho new navy Is costing adeal of money, but there Is a return for It be sides that which conies In the Increased senso of natlonnl safety which comes In the shape of inspiration to triumphs In all forms of industry allied to that of shipbuilding. The expenditures In experiments in the manufacture of steel for these vessels have resulted In de velopments of knowledge of Immense value to the arts of peace. The eye of tho American working man is evidently focussed upon the Mexican dollar. The effect produced by the panorama presented will bn noticed at the counting of votes in November. "I do not know what you think about it, but I believe that it is il good deal better to open the mill-, otitic t nil t il States to tho labor of America than to open up the mints of the Tinted States to the silver of f ho world." WILLIAM .11 'li IN LEY. 0- "It Is unquestionably in the Interest of the whole people thnt the money wo earn should be as good as the best In the world." Senator Cullom. A Silver Object Lesson. In noting the case of the Chicago merchant who has procured a kegfull of Mexican dollars and offered to ex change one of them nnd 50 cents' worth of goods for an American ffold-backed silver dollar, the Toronto Olobo ob serves thnt the Mexican dollar thus freely offered for half an American dol lar Is both heavier and of finer quality than the American." The average Mex ican dollar," it says, "weighs .SGC1 of nn ounce of metal, 001-1000 fine. The American silver dollar, which is pro portionately heavier than the fractional silver, "weighs only .8594 of an ounce, and . Is only 9-10 line. Yet for one-of these dollnrs the Chicago merchant Is giving the heavier and finer Mexican silver piece and 50 cents worth of goods. Of course he can nfford to do so and make a profit on the sale, as the Amer ican dollar is exchangeable for 23Vi grains of gold at the United States treasury, and consequently In every other commercial institution of that and other countries. Reluctance to accept it Is due to uncertainty regarding tile icrmaiience of the policy of redeeming the sliver. Rut no treasury, bank or other Institution Is hound to redeem tho Mexican dollar with 2:1U grains of gold, nor with nny other equally valuable quantity of metal. 'The laws of that republic may de clare that it shall bo accepted for one dollar, but do not maintain that the dollar for which It Is interchangeable shall contain a stipulated quantity of gold.'. The laws which hold that the coin be accepted as a dollar declare also that it is a dollar, and that definition of a dollar makes the law virtually de clare that the coin be accepted for Itself. It has no artificial value such as would be given by the willingness of the Mexican treasury to redeem It with moro valuable coins. It is merely a piece of metal like tho gold coins of Ilrltain and the United States, and the stamp of the mint guarantees its weight nnd fineness. Its value has shown no variation from that of other silver bul lion. Early in 1892 it wns worth 75 cents, but foil to 66.9 cents before the close of the year. In 1S93 It varied from 66.6 cents on Jan, 1 to 57.1 cents on Oct. 1. On Jan. 1, 1894, it was worth 56 cents, but fell to 60.5 cents on April 1 and to 49.7 cents on July 1. During 1S93 It followed the fluctuations of the metal market, being worth 49.5 cents on Jan. 1 and 47.9 cents on April 1, rising to 52.8 cents during the latter half of the your. '.'The fluctuations are a proof that a government flat or mint stamp can give no value to a piece of metal, that the fictitious value of the American silver dollar is due not to stamp or flat but to the ability and willingness of the treasury to give a more valuable piece of metal for It on demand. The object lesson of the keg of big silver dollars, each to be given In lieu of CO cents change, cannot fail to have an educa tional effect. The customer who ac cepts a Mexican dollar in change in preference to an American half-dollar finds. that he has merely double the weight of metal to carry, but no com pensating advantage. Tha enactment of a free coinage law in the United States would have no effect on the purchasing power or value of the Mex ican dollar In Chicago or anywhere else, but It would reduce the purchas ing power of the American dollar and other sliver coins one-half. That would bring the two big coins almost to an equality, the Mexican being a little the more valuable. Mr. Bryan holds that a free coinage law would make an ap preciable demand for silver, and. In consequence, an appreciable increase in Its purchasing power. But, with all deference to the boy orator, It la evi dent that the currency could settle to a silver basis without a noticeable de mand for the white metal. The gov ernment would scarcely attempt to maintain tho parity by the payment of gold, and there would be no Induce ment to present silver for coinage, ns, like gold at present. It would be as valuable In bars or In bricks as In coin. Tho credit of men or corporations rich in silver, gold, Iron, tin, leather, petro leum, wool, cotton or real estate could serve as currency to effect the exchange cf commodities then as now. All cred itors would lose and all debtors would gain, and the working classes and others whose remuneration Is kept down by what may be called sentiment would find it impossible to Increase their re turns In proportion to tho decrease in the buying power of money. Their dif ficult lea would be Increased by the col lapse of many commercial ami Indus trial firms and the consequent additions to the unemployed." This is disinterested testimony based on plain common sense. It ought to have tenfold more weight with rational voters than tho excited yawping of chronic olllce-seekers. The Times Is all right on tho cur rency question but can t a teiiow change his mind once In a while? The Only Bimetallism. We Invite attention to the following (ruths from the Chicago Times-Herald: "No silver standard country has any gold In Its currency. Kvery gold stand aid country has silver In Its currency. There Is no such thing as a concurrent circulation of the two metals on equal terms at the mints. "Where silver Is the standard gold will not run. Where gold Is the stand ard silver runs co-ordinately in limited coinage only. Mexico, a silver standard country, has no gold. Japan, a sliver standard country, with 40,000,000 people, has no gold. India, with Its 290,000,000 of people, .has no gold. China, with its 300,000,000 of people, has no gold. On the other hand, Germany, with 51,000, 000 of people, carries full legal tender silver to the amount of $103,000,000. Bel glum, with Its 6,000,000 of people, has full legal tender silver to the amount of $-!S,000,000. Switzerland, with 3,000,000 of people and $11,000,000 In gold, has le gal tender sliver to the amount of $10, 000,000. France has full legal tender silver exceeding $130,000,000. The United States, with 70,000,000 of people, has more than $500,000,000 full legal" tender silver. "No country on the gold standard opens Its mints to the unlimited coin age of silver. That Is the reason sliver Is current In these countries as full le gal tender with gold. Will the Ameri can people retain their sliver at its pres ent valuation of 100 cents to the dol lar, or, abandoning the only practicable system of bimetallism, will they sacri fice all their gold and go down to tho level of China, India, Japan and Mexico?" t An honest dollar means progress. Cheap money meaty retrogression. History tenches this. Common sense confirms It. Where will the American electorate decide to stand In the prem ises? One of Mr. Bryan's own western neighbors the St. Joseph Herald stumps him completely when It says: "Mr. Bryan keeps on talking about the cornering of gold,' when he knows thnt tho supply of gold was never so great as It Is now, and that the output every year is materially Increasing. All of the gold standard nations of the world now hold Immense quantities of thnt metal and there is much of It in the hands of private Individuals or gov ernment vaults. How can gold be ap preciating in value when it Is a fact beyond dispute that Jewelry and every thing that is madeoutof goldare cheap er today than was ever known before? Everybody can carry a gold watch now and Indulge in other gold adorn ments because they are so very cheap." These are facts that Bryanites don't want to see. Perclval Lowell, of the Flagstaff, Arizona, observatory, has observed snow-caps on Mars once more. This time tho professor Is certain that the discovery Is genuine and not the result of blurred effects. His theory of a great Martian snow-melting nnd Interpolar Irrigation by meansof thefamouscanuls Is another question, which will require many years, at the very least, for ade quate Solution. In fact it will probably be necessary for our grandchildren to take the professor's word on all ques tions concerning the weather on Mars. "What good will free coinage do when thousands of employes are Idle and when our imports are increasing, and when cheap labor is permitted to compete with tho laboring men in our own land, and when our laborers are, In consequence, either working at star vation prices or else are not working at oil? No wonder our opponents don't want to hear the Issue of protection to American industries discussed." Sen ator Cullom. The Wllkes-Barre Newsdealer inti mates that the nomination of Chairman Garman for congress .has placed red sealing wax upon the political doom of Morgan-B. Williams. The voters of Lu cerne, however, will probably hare no difficulty in breaking the seal at the proper time. Why are the New York banks doing business with clearing house certificates Instead of with lawful money" of the United State. Will The Tribune kindly answer? Bcranton Times. For tho same reason that business men all over the country uso checks in their business transactions instead of carting cash about. It's more con venient. "The Republican party, with Its plat form offering equal Justice to all.makes no new tender which Is Impossible of performance. It does not descend to the domain of hypocrisy, but it bears the banner of honest money, the Hag of sound finance." Senator Cullom. Miss Overman, the Washington wo man who confessed that she had made false charges against Pastor Brown, now confesses that her confession was false and that the charges were true. Miss Oveiman seems In a fair way to mix the Jury. The plain people continue to flock to Canton to see McKinley In spite of the appeals made by mouth pieces of Popu listie Democracy. The memory of the days of prosperity under the McKinley tui'lft bill cannot be blotted out by wind. "The story that we have not money enough in the country to do the busi ness Is a ridiculous fallacy. If you have anything which will bring money you may be assured that the money will always be ready for It." Senator Cullom. . The new secretary of the interior, ex Governor Francis, will probably be con tent with drawing his salary. With tho frightful example of Hoke Smith before him Secretary Francis will, if a man of good Judgment, avoid reforms. "Let the people who believe in sound money, in the Integrity of contracts, and In the honor and future prosperity of the nation, without regard to past par ty relatlons.stand together In this cam paign." Senator Cullom. LI Hung Chang's visit to this coun try will be a failure unless some gen tleman from Luzerne is delegated to Inform him that the "resources of Wllkes-Barre are practically untouch ed." Until explained away by the Scran ton Times, Hon. Thomas B. Reed's speech at Old Orchard may stand as a model of masterly logic. But few sllverltes can be found among the people who lived during the greenback period. And now Governor Altgeld has troubles of his own! THE HEAL IU.llETALLIS.il. Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette. In spite of tho injury to the cause of bimetallism which has been caused by tho advocacy of free coinage by this country alone, the genuine blmetalllsts are by no means discouraged, but are working Just the same In tho promotion of the cause as if the handicap of distrust had not been attached to them which the free coinage and silver standard advocates have creat ed In tho name of bimetallism. Some of the most distinguished blmetalllsts In the old world have been quoted heretofore as stoutly opposing the free coinage of sliver at this time hy the United States as a calamitous proceeding not only for this country, but to the cause of Interna tional bimetallism. The sound views of these advocate of the cause at home and abroad, whose earnestness Is not ques tioned, must have n salutary effect upon those who really favor bimetallism but who foolishly have been led to believe that the present movement Is In the di rection of bimetallism, whereas it means Inevitably,, under the conditions proposed, a descent to the silver standard. The way to Increase the value of sliver Is to stimu late the use of It In all countries, both for money nnd other purposes, anil thus bringing It nearer tho actual value of gold. No single country In tho world can do this for the whole world any more than It can regulate the relative value or all the crops In the world. The most that the single country can do Is to do Its share. The United States already has done this with reference to sliver to the limit of putting 40 cents of lint or national credit Into every sliver dollar and making good that difference between lis commercial and coinage value. To this top heavy load the free coinage advocates would make the experiment of adding nil the surplus silver of the world and a ratio with gold twice that of its commercial value, making a load not only Impossible to carry but. crushing the value out of every dollar now in use. except the gold or gold certificate, and forcing the country to the silver standard. The genuine bimetallism on the other hand, would maintain the present value of every dollar, both silver nnd oth erwisc, nnd through International agree ment, and combined private enterprise, so stimulate the use of silver as money In other countries, In place of chenper money ns to bring the relative coinage values of gold nnd silver, as compared wlt'n their commercial values, near enough together to provide for practical bimetallism. No ono nation can bring this about any more than it can regulate the tides, and the sound sense of the American peonle will render a verdict to that effect In Novem ber. ThPn the workers in -the cause of genuine bimetallism will go on with their work with renewed courage, nnd with the handicaps thrown oft with which the free collage advocates have weighted them. . - TOLD BY THE STARS.
