Patriotic Vermont.
The vibrations of the opening gun of
the campaign fired In Vermont are like
mveet music In the ears of the patriotic.
In the face of the bluff nnd bluster that
has been raised by the disciples of dis
content the Green Mountain state has
exhibited her patriotism by doubling
usual majorities in tho interest of pro
tection, honest money and good gov
ernment. The Republican victory in
that state has passed the expectations
of the most sanguine, but it is only a
forerunner of what will follow in No
vember. Many of our Popullstlc neighbors no
doubt will argue that ns Vermont is a
Republican state the victory was a na
tural consequence, and is of no particu
lar value as a campaign barometer.
This, however, will not lessen the Im
portance of the rebuke that has been
administered the elements of discord
by the sturdy sons of tho Green Moun
tain state. The heated writers and In
flated orators of Rryanlsm have made
claims of large results that were sure
to follow their labors In sowing seeds
of discontent everywhere. They even
place such states as Pennsylvania and
New York In tho doubtful column. And
now In little Vermont Instead of mak
ing converts to the mischievous theories
the adopted Democratic parent of Sil
vcrlsm is about twenty thousand votes
worse off than before the subject was
brought before the people.
This stinging rebuke to missionaries
of the Uryan-Altgeld faith not only
proves anew the patriotism of Ver
mont, but it also Illustrates the hope
lessness of the claims that are put forth
by Bryan and his retinue who have
mistaken the curiosity cf the people
along tho line of his pilgrimage for ac
tual Interest in his success.
It is almost time for Billy Bryan to
cut his parachute loose and come down
easy.
Neighboring Politics.
The Democrats of Susquehanna coun
ty have tied themselves up securely to
Populism. At the convention at Mont
rose on Tuesday the "Pops" wero In
vited to participate and the gathering
was a veritable love feast. W. C. Cruser,
the congressional candidate, has for
ome time past been engaged in the
work of enlightening the people on the
subject of free coinage through the col
umns of his paper, the Montrose Demo
crat, and his action in leaping into the
hands of his friends at the convention
may be taken as an Indication that he
has faith In his own missionary work.
Pome of the old-time straight-line
Democrats protested mildly against a
fusion with the handful of Populists
.who received recognition at the. con
vention, but the protest was unheeded
by the majority ot hypnotized subjects
of free silver orators.
The combination of Populists and
Democrats in Susquehanna county,
however, will make no perceptible dif
ference in results at election, so far as
the Republican vote is concerned, as the
Populists ure principally cx-Greenback-
crs, Prohibitionists and political mal
contents who have not afllllated with
either the Republican or Democratic
party since the Greenback craze that
placed Justice J. U. McCollum on the
bench. The average Susquehanna coun
ty farmer is too well-informed and too
sensible to be seriously affected by the
cry of tho false prophets who are work
ing in the Interest of free trade and a
debased currency.
The Popullstlc rainbow chaser up
pears to have stumbled against a rock
up In Vermont.
"I do not know what you think
about it, but 1 believe that it is a
good deal better to opcu the
mills ot the l otted States to the
labor of America than to open up
the mints of the I'nited States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.

So long ns Turkey remains on the
map of the world European powers
have no right to pose as Christian na
tions.
Better Times Ahead.
Orator Bryan declares that "we nre
but upon the threshold of a period of
depression which is Indefinite in dura
tion nnd cannot be described in inten
sity." Tills assertion, like many others
mnde by tho misguided young candi
date, is a falsehood. If Bryan and the
dangerous policy that he represents
could triumph at the coming election,
it Is probable that his dire predictions
would be fulfilled with a vengeance.
But nothing of the sort will happen.
The good news of each successive week
causes the feeling of apprehension to
pass away as thousands are realizing
the dangerous ground upon which they
have been treading In giving consider
ation to the mischievous teachings of
free sliver agitators. The thinking peo
ple of the United States are alive t
the situation. They realize the menace
of proposed currency revolution, and
regardless of creed or party are firm in
the determination to protect the honor
of the government. At the close of
William Bryan's lecture tour he will
retire to private life a breathless and
doubtless a wiser man.
With the election of William JIcKIn
ley as president of the United States,
confidence will be restored; the wheels
of Industry will hum again nnd pros
perity will smile on the land. We ure
going to have good times nnd a pros
perous future because tho voters of this
country have had enough of experi
ment nnd can bo relied upon to east
their buliots on the right side when
patriotism nnd national honor are ar
rayed against anarchy and repudia
tion. If, according to sllvcrlte theories,
wages were Increased and the ad
vanced price of farm products and
manufactured articles increased the
cost of living also, who would be bene
fited by the change? All admit that a
season of financial panic and business
chaos would surely follow an attempt
to readjust our currency system. Does
any sensible laboring man or business
man want to try the experiment?
Base Ball Enterprise.
The Inst of tho series of Eastern
League base ball games will begin in
Scranton today, when the home team
will be pitted against the Wilkes-Barre
club and some excellent contests may
bo expected; Although the results of
the season which is drawing to a close
have not been just what the enthusias
tic ball crank would desire, the home
club has certainly given some excellent
exhibitions of good ball playing under
the present manager, and that the club
Is not at the head of the league in the
matter of percentage Is certainly not
the fault of the directors of the associa
tion. The ball enterprise has this sea
son been conducted on a scale of liber
ality throughout, and it Is to be re
gretted that ill-luck and difficulty in
securing players have made it impos
sible for the team to be classed among
the winners.
Persons Interested In the national
game will do well to show their appre
ciation of the enterprise of the associa
tion by liberal patronage during the
balance of the season, that the owners
may feel encouraged to make greater
efforts for success next year.
A pleasing instance of thrift and bus
iness enterprise In the Electric City is
given by the Colliery Engineer com
pany. The plant of this institution
was almost entirely destroyed by fire
in the Coal Exchange on Sunday morn
ing. Yesterday the announcement was
made that the offices of the establish
ment had already been opened in the
Mears' building and that business
would bo transacted as usual In tho
new quarters. The Colliery Engineer
company will occupy these offlces until
the completion of their own buildings
which are being erected on Wyoming
avenue.
History of Our Coinage III.
BY JOHN SHERMAN.
Prior and subsequent to 1873 many
changes were made in coinage by tho
leading countries of the world. "Ger
many, In 1871, changed Its standard
from silver to gold. France, Italy,
Switzerland and Belgium had in 1863
entered Into a treaty called the Latin
Union to which, other nations became
parties, and by which the coins of each
of these countries were received and
paid out by all of them. This important
arrangement was first modified and
finally abandoned, and gold became the
standard of value In those countries,
but In all silver was coined and largely
used as a subsidiary coin precisely as
in the United States.
In anticipation of the resumption of
sjecle payments, the Resumption act
of 1S75 provided silver coins, of dimes,
quarters and half dollars, for the re
demption of the fractional currency
then In general useln our country. These
new sliver coins gave great satisfac
tion. They wero limited in legal tender
qualities to $10. At this time Mr. Bland,
of Missouri, introduced his bill for the
free coinage of sliver at the ratio of 10
to 1 on the demand of the holders of
sliver bullion. Silver had then declined
below that ratio. One ounce of gold
was worth more than sixteen ounces of
silver. The Bland bill, if It had become
a law as It passed the house, would
have demonetized gold. Such was not
the purpose of congress;
When the bill came to the senate an
amendment was made, on the motion of
Senator Allison, which changed the
scope of the bill and authorized and
directed the secretary of the treasury
to purchase from time to time silver
bullion at the market price, not leas
than $2,000,000 nor more than $4,000,000
worth per month, and cause the same
to be coined Into silver dollars as fast
as purchased. It also provided that any
holder of the coin authorized by that
act might deposit the same with tho
treasury of tho United States in sums
not less than $10 and reselve certificates
therefor of not less than $10 each, and
that coin deposited should be retained
In the treasury for the payment of tho
certificates on demand. This bill so
amended passed both houses. It was
known as the Bland-Allison act. It
greatly added to the difficulties of re
sumption, and for that reason was
vetoed by President Hayes, but be
came a law over his veto. Under its
provisions the United States purchased
over 291,000,000 ounces of silver at tho
cost of $308,279,200. It was hoped that
this enormous purchase would arrest
the decline of sliver, but in spite of it
silver steadily declined In market value,
and at the present price the loss to
the government on the purchase of sli
ver under the act amounts to over $100,.
000,000.
When congress met In December, 1SS9,
there was a strong desire in both houses
to utilize silver as legal-tender money
under conditions that would not de
monetize gold. As the result of long
discussions in both houses and after a
conference between them a bill was
passed July 11, 18!)0, by which the secre
tary of the treasury was directed to
purchase from time to time silver bul
lion to the aggregate of 4,500,000 ounces
a month at the market price, and to
Issue In payment of such purchases
treasury notes of the United States,
which was made a legal-tender In
payment of all debts, public and pri
vate, and were redeemable by the sec
retary of the treasury in gold or sliver
coin at his discretion. This measure. It
was thought, would arrest the decline
In the market value of sliver and enable
the secretary to maintain the two met
als on a partly with each other at the
ratio of 1G to 1. But the market value
of sliver continued to decline. The
government purchased under the act
of July 14, 1S90, 168,000,000 ounces at a
cost of $156,000,000. This proved to be an
expensive experiment, and the act wa3
repealed November 1, 1893. This repeal
was accompanied by the following
declaration, made a part of tho repeal
ing act:
And It Is hereby declared to be the policy
of the United States to continue the use of
both gold nnd Bllver ns standard money,
and to coin both gold and silver into
money o( equal Intrinsic and exchange
able value, such equulity to be secured
through International agreement, or by
such safeguards of legislation as will In.
sure the maintenance of the parity in
value of the coins of the two metals and
the equal power of every dollar at ull
times In the markets and In the payment
of debts. And It Is further declared that
the efforts of the government should be
steadily directed to the establishment of
such a safe system of bimetallism ns will
maintain at all times the equal power of
every dollar coined or Issued by the United
States, in the markets and in the payment
of dubts.
This declaration, made by congress
and approved by the president at a time
when the public mind was cen tered upon
the silver question, is a wise statement
of public policy that ought to be acted
upon without regard to party divisions.
This bill passed a house of representa
tives fresh from the people by the vote
of 239 yeas to 118 nays, and the senate
by the vote of 43 yeas against 32 nays.
This act was not a party vote, but it is,
I believe, the expression of opinion of
a majority of the two great parties of
the country. And here we ought to
stand.
GOLDEN NUGGETS.
Selections . from Newspaper Columns
Tbat Show the Folly of Debas
ing a Currency.
Whilo the debt-paying power of silver
is doubled, the purchasing power will be
reduced one-half. There Is not a man,
be he laborer on the street or president of
the United States, but would find that his
daily wages or his yearly salary went only
half as far as It went in tho clays when sil
ver was kept-at par with gold. There is
not a widow or an orphan but would find
that tho life insurance policy was worth
in purchasing power but half of what It
would have been worth, or n pensioner
but would find that his $12 a month was
worth but i'j. And some men nre persuad
ed that by such a policy prosperity can
be restored to the land! Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune.
CHEATING THE CREDITOR.
If these glorlflers of the old order of
things could restore the conditions tint
prevailed previous to 1873, and muke the
market value of silver what It was then,
they would not want free coinage. Thero
would bo nothing In It for them. They
could do better by selling their silver In
the form of bullion than by having it
coined Into dollars. . What they really
want is cheap morey, a kind of money wlih
which creditors can bo cheattd. They ure
not trying to put silver back to Its old
place, and re-establish the monetary
tern that existed before the "great crime"
was committed. Their scheme docs not
Imply tho coinage of better dolluu than
those, we now have, but Inflnltely poorer
ones, which can be used In the payment
of debts at the rate of S3 cents on the dol
lar. St. Louis Olobe.Democrat.
MINTS AND MILLS.
The mints cannot make a bushel of
wheat worth a dollar. Mills which build
up new towns and people them with pros
perous communities that Increase the con
sumption ot breailsUUTs will raise the
price of wheat quicker than nil the free
coinage laws that can be enacted. Tha
mints cannot creato value. Only tho
brawny arms of honest toil, directed by
genius and Intelligence, can create va!u
The mints cannot create prosperity or
happiness. The opportunity to earn the
best money In the world by legitimate
industry is tho plan proposed by Major
MeKitilcy. No sensible or honest Amer
ican expects to get money In any other
way. Idle workmen want the wages of
the mills; the mints can give them noth
ing. Chicago Times-Herald.
A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.
To establish the policy of free colnago
of silver on Individual account at the ratio
of 16 to 1 would be to set aside the prin
ciple which has prevailed since tho birth
of our republic, nnd to make a currency
that would be cheaply acquired by some
and dearly obtained by others. It would
be class legislation ns grossly unjust as
any that ever provoked a revolution. It
would be favoritism more outrageous
thun any perpetrated by the Mclvlnley
tariff bill or contemplated by Hanna In
case he has the opportunity to make an
other McKlnley tariff. The proposition to
print Into trear.ury notes all paper of a
certain class brought to the government
printing office at Washington would be
scouted as a preposterous scheme for en
riching paper manufacturers. How does
this differ In principle from the proposition
to coin Into legal tender dollars all tho
silver that the mine owners may bring
there? Uoston Post.
