Worse Than His Platform.
Probably no greater mistake Is made
than that of Democrats who are trying
to persuade themselves that cnnilldate
Bryan is better than the platform upon
which ho stands. It Is useless to har
bor the belief that ho would not coun
tenance the extreme financial mousures
advocated In the chaotic manifesto
known as the Chicago platform.
Whfle in congress he made speeches
In which ho took the most extreme
Views upon the subject of money. He,
in fact, went as far as any greenbaeker
ever did In the advocacy of flat paper
money. He Introduced a bill to Issue
$70,000,000 of greenbacks to build the
Nicaragua canal, and said In advocacy
of it that he would favor similar Issues
to aid other like projects. He said he
would prefer to have these notes made
a full legal tender for all debts, even
when contracted against; In other
words, they would be Irredeemable, He
thought, too, that taxation could be
lightened by the government Issuing
such notes whenever necessary. He al
so favored the sub-treasury scheme.
Whereby the government was to loan
money upon farm products held in bond
ed warehouses.
From all of which it will be seen that
Mr. Bryan, instead of being much bet
ter that his platform, is, if possible,
worse than it, for he is willing.not only
to turn out an unlimited number of
dollars containing only B3 cents' worth
of metal, but to issue flat paper money,
which literally will not be worth .in
actual value more than the paper upon
Which It Is printed.
David Bennett Hill evinces a dispo
sition to climb up higher on the perch
as the days go by.
Dancer of Parsimony.
The Detroit Tribune offers a new ex
planation of the hard times which,
though it perhaps may be dungerous In
certnln quarters, certainly contains
points. The Tribune says:
"A most curious perversion of the
blessed faculty of seeing the bright
side. Is shown in the joyous claim
that Is made to the effect that hard
times are good for Americans, In that
they will teach the people to . save.
uch a claim Known how thoroughly
blind people with eyes can be to so
cial conditions. When the very fouri
dntion of our vast national prosperity
has beon our national 'trait of prodl
glllty. it surprises us to hear people
saying they are glad we shall be at
last taught to savfe.
"Ask any merchant what is the mat
ter with trade today, that is to say,
depression, and he will tell you the
people are not buying anything. Now
supose by some mlraclo the condition
of the people with respect to their
Incomes was to be restored tomorrow,
and the people should proceed, to profit
by the lesson In economy they have
learned. How long, without the con
tinued Intervention of the miracle,
could their prosperity continue?
"Some of us don't seem to realize the
complete Intel-dependency of the units
In modern soilety. In our normal con
dition the vast majority of the people
have been working for good wages.
They have found profitable employ
ment In factories and elsewhere, why?
Simply and solely because they blew
themselves as the slang phrase is,
bought things with the money they
got, and thus sent It back in trade
to be used again In paying high wages.
"It does not take any close figuring
to show anybody that the acquisition
of a national habit of parsimony Is
but the first step to a condition of
low wages and chronic depression. The
economist well understands that the
workmen who keep wages up are the
workmen who spend all they get to
live. That Is to say, the expense of liv
ing is practically the limit of wages,
and prodigality of habit keeps the ex
pense of living high, while at the same
time giving into the hands of those
who pay the wages the means whereby
to do It. It Is the saving fellow, who
lives away within his Income, and can
underbid his neighbor without physical
Inconvenience, who Is the menace to
high wages, and who will in time in
evitably force wages down.
"Providence seems to have decreed
that some shall save and others shall
spend, the latter largely In the major
ity with us, happily we must say, be
cause It Is the latter who keep things
moving briskly. It Is an open question
whether the ordinary laboring man
who salts his money down In a bank
makes the best Investment of it. If all
wokmen were to do likewise, employ
ment would speedily be curtailed, and
wages fall. We may imagine upon the
whole that the best Investment we.
as people, can make of our money Is to
spend It freely and about as soon as we
get It."
Hoke Smith may claim distinction as
the only living Democrat who ever
resigned a fat government job.
"I do not know wnnt you think
about it, but 1 believe that it is n
good deal better to open the
mills of the I'nited Slates to the
Inbor of America Ihnn to open up
the mints of tho I'nited States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.
Opportunities for Joining Business
Men's Bryan clubs seem to be few and
fur between.
Not a Real Remedy.
The Globe-Democrat puts the subject
understandingly when It says: "It Is
an undeniable and lamentable fact that
the farmers of the United States have
been having a hnrd time In recent years.
They have produced a groat deal of
grain, but have not been able to sell
it at profitable rates'. Thnt Is to say, the
prices of the things that they raise have
been steadily declining until the point
has been reached where there Is prac
tically little or nothing left over the
cost of production so far as the leading
crops are concerned. They can not be
blamed, of course, for feeling discour
aged nnd for trying to bettor their con
dition; but It Is important for them to
see that they do not deceive themselves
In the choice of a method of relief.
When they are told that the free and
unlimited coinage of silver would In
crease the prices of their products and
restore their former prosperity, they
should not be In a hurry to credit the
statement, but take time to Investigate
it in the light of well-known facts.
They can not fall to discover, If they
thus study it, that it Is a delusion and
a snare, and that they would be more
likely to lose than to gain by the sub
stitution of cheap money for that which
now exists.
"The higher prices that the free sll
verltes promise for farm products could
not be realized, because the prices of
such products are fixed In Europe,
where the surplus is marketed. It would
be necessary to raise prices all over the
world In order to benefit the farmers
of this country; and the most extreme
advocate of the free silver theory will
hardly contend that it would have such
a sweeping and remarkable effect. In
other words, It Is not to be supposed
for a moment that the conditions which
regulate the pricey of agricultural
staples in Europj would be changed by
the adoption of the free silver policy
In the United States. The law of supply
and demand would not be repealed, Rus
sia, South America and Australia
would not stop producing the abundant
crops of wheat that now come in com
petition with those of our farmers. The
price at Liverpool, which is the ther
mometer of the price In this country,
would i.ot be Increased by an altera
tion In our currency system. It would
still be governed by the circumstances
that now control it, nnd no legislation
on our part-could make any difference
In the case. Our farmers will get bet
ter prices for their products only when
Euiope Js willing to pay them; and
L'urope will not pay better prices so
long as the present ratio of demand and
sui ply remains. It follows, therefore,
that the farmers of the United States
have no advantage to expect from free
silver. But It would be a disadvantage
to them in the way of raising the prices
of everything that they have to buy,
without. a corresponding increase of ln
ccme." There is another point which re-ln-forces
our contemporary's argument.
The farmer sells 90 percent, of his'
produce in the American frmrket. That
market will not buy as much, from him
when it is unsettled by financial agi
tation as it will when general, confid
ence prevails, when Industries arc ac
tive, when labor Is earning and Spend
ing good wages and when prosperous .
conditions call Into play the ma-Gmum i
consumption of food products. The
fact that business men almost without
exception oppose free coinage shows
that they fear it: that they will not
make new investments if ft passes;
in other words, that it cannot expect
to Inspire confidence among the classes
where confidence is most needed. Con
sequently the farmer who favors free
silver not. only favors a quack ros
trum that would, if applied, only make
matters worse, but he also contributes
to the prolongation of tho unrest which
Is a most rptent factor In his own undoing.
'Tree silver would not menu that
silver dollars wrrc to bo freely bad
without cost or labor. It would mean
tho free use of the mints of the I'nited
Mates for the few who urc owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the ninny who urc eu
gnged in other enterprises."

, In Issuing fire badges to newspaper re

augurated a reform for which he is en

idea for the newspapers of Seranton to
follow up this excellent suggestion and
arrange credentials whereby uvery legiti

at all times. With the constant Increase
In the city's population and Interests gen
erally, the army of roustabouts, who pose
as reporters, haj grown accordingly, and
may be numbered among the Irrepressible
nuisances. In time of a big lire, a disaster
or a free lunch, the wildcat journalist Is

in asking idiotic questions and by churn c
terlHtic assurance and Ill-manners brings
the real newspaper man into disrepute.
He generally claims to represent some
nearby paper that would not be apt to
send a representative, or some fur away
city journal. In nine eases out ot ten he
does not represent anything and Is prompt
ed solely by curiosity or a desire to obtain
a free lunch. Scranton lias harbored
some frightful examples of the wildcat
reporter, nnd a movement that would
hnvo a tendency to put a check on the ca
reer of the Individual who would create
the Impression that newspaper reporters
of Scranton are a lot of Ill-mannered free-

With the addition of Olynhant cars on
tho Laurel Hill tracks to Dunmore. the
service of that line has been greatlv im
proved. Dlrert cars to No. 0, thus doing
away with the transfer system, it is be
lieved, will also be of great convenience
during the coming winter. At the present
time the ride to Olyphant by way of the
new line from Dunmore is one of the most
dellchtful of any upon tho trolley lines
leading from Scranton. While the traffic
upon the new road Is not large, it will
open up a new territory for Bubnrhan
homes; and It is believed that In a few
years Increased enterprise In the vicinity
of Throop will make the Dunmore and Oly
phant liramit one of tho most profitable
of the Traction system. Within the past
few months many Improvements have
boon made In the Btreet car service under
the present management, nnd the system
will doubtless be brought nearer a state
of perfection before another season 'has
passed.
The Scranton World ennnot discover
thnt the local base ball club has made any
better showing under Manager Griflin
than when directed by that veritable hoo
doo, whose name Is seldom mentioned
above n whisper in base ball circles, who
had charge of the club at the opening of
the season. It may be that some member
of the Wilkes-liarre Hase Hull associa
tion is furnishing material for the World.
The reference to the Scranton club seems
to be In the line of Wllkes-llarre thought.
It is to be hoped that this Is tho case.
The slap given the Scranton ball club, If
penned by a resident of the city, should
cause a Hussia leather blush of shame to

Gold in America
and in England
From the Post-E::press.
The claim Is studiously and persistent
ly made by the advoeutos of the freo
coinage of silver that the gold standard
Is peculiarly a British policy operating
constantly for the benefit of Great Brit
ain, and to the Injury of the United St.i'es.
The Democratic platform says that "Gold
monometallism is a British policy and
its adoption has brought other nations
Into financial servitude to London. It is
not only un-Americnn, but antl-Ameii-
can." In his Madison Square Garder.
speech. Mr. Bryan Insists upon this, and
the I'oporrat press and stump constantly
reiterate It, with the object of Inflaming
American sentiment against everything
that Is British, In order to strengthen tho
financial delusion which Is claimed to be
essentially American. The assumption Is
at once demagogical and untrue.
To show Its baselessness, we avail our
selves of certain tables, taken by the
t-inanclnl and commercial Chronicle,
from the United States census of 190.
as well as something of ItK line of thouuht
upon the subject. It says that "to Judge
whether the policy of maintaining gold
tea s
payments has been harmful or the re
verse. In a material sense, to the United
States, we must go back to the time when
apprehensions regarding the stability of
our currency had not yet begun to serious,
ly retard business and check enterprise."
For this purpose the year ISM is especially
appropriate, as being that In which the
Sherman silver law was passed, and by
comparing the decade ending that year,
with previous decades, we have the data
for determining what ten yea8 of gold
payments did for the country. Here Is the
table:

The last decade Indicated, during which
the country was on a gold basis, shows
cn amazing addition to the wealth of the
country, being f0 per cent. In excess of
that for any previous ten years. The
period Immediately following the resump
tion of gold payments, on Jan. 1, 1ST9. wns
one of unexampled prosperity. Reaching
now the consideration of the question
whether keeping our currency exchange
able on a gold basis operates to the ad
vantage of England, it Is plain that we
have lost nothing. In the comparison, with
thnt nation. For this purpose the value

And further comparison might be made,
but sufficient has been given for our pur
pose. It will not be claimed. Indeed, that
the gold standard Is entirely responsible
for the enormous Increase In production
and wealth which the figures Indicate. The
American policy of protection hail murh
to do with it: but It Is nlso fair to claim
that the development was coincident with
the maintenance inviolate or trie gold
sandard, nnd that depression and decline
have been oolncMent with the increasing
menace of n denreolated currency.

As the Chronicle says: "During the
naner money era our progress In such
leading Industries as those noted aBove
nnd a great many others was very slow.
But when the currency was again placed
on a sound monev basis v:e advanced by
leans nnd bounds.' The statement In tho
Democratic platform that keeping our
currency on a gold basis ha3 bon Inlml-at
to the country's interests nnd beneficial
to Kmrlaml. and has led 'to tho prostra
tion of Industry nnd Imnovcrlshment of
the people,' Is therefore untrue. Not only
In Iron nnd steel, but In n great many oth
er Industr'os, Great Britain has had to
yield first place to the I'nited States, and,
given the necessary supplies of eanltal,
the trade sceptre must Inevitably pass to
this country In many other branches. If
Great Brltnln were moved by a desire to
prevent such a result, she could have no
better way of attaining her end thnn by
hnvlner the United States ndopt a de
preciated currency as the Btandard of
values."
