The condition of trade at present Is most encouraging. Business was not particularly lively during the past week but general conditions ' have greatly improved, ana the situation justifies the expectation of nn expand ing trade movement In the near future. Mercantile operations have been em barasscd by the continued financial dis trust and the stringency of the loan markets, but the continued Inflow of gold from Europe and the growth of confidence In the ultimate triumph of the cause of sound money may be ex pected to afford early relief from the congestion of credits. That business sentiment has been changed for the better by" the recent Republican victory In Vermont none can question, and the prospects that an avalanche will sweep over the country In favor of sound money and protection to American Industries In November haB caused the feeling of anxiety over the business situation to pass away. In spite of the tendency to extreme con servatism tn the making of new obliga tions and the extension of credits, busi ness has already shown moderate Im provement la some directions; and now that the summer is over and the wants of the fall trade season are likely to be come urgent, a gradual expansion of commercial and Industrial activity may be anticipated. With these favorable conditions on the eve of election the good results of placing a Republican president in the chair may-be Imagined, and merchants generally may prepare for an excellent fall trade. Humanity everywhere will rejoice at the news that prospects ore bright for a settlement of the Turkish question on a basts that will put an effectual stop page on the wholesale slaughter of Christians In the Ottoman empire. The action of Russia and Germany looking to an arrangement that will afford pro tection for the helpless In Turkey and Armenia, though tardy, will doubtless be appreciated. It Is to be hoped that the readjustment of affairs In the East will be made with dispatch that will head, off any future murderous out breaks on the part of the fanatical fol lowers of the false prophet Silk Industry. The Pittsburg Times calls attention to the silk industry of Pennsylvania which has developed wonderfully during the past few years In an interesting resume of the development of the Industry. It. spite of depression that has hung over Pennsylvania Industry for the last thre years, the report of the chief of the bureau of statistics of the state has' a cheering statement to make concerning the growth of the silk Industry of the commonwealth. It Is not 'a good many years ago that the manufacture of silk ffOooV In this country was regarded as a dubious venture. However, bold splr Its set the pace, and now Pennsylvania alone produces annually goods worth nearly 125.000,000. Since 1S90 the bus! ties has had a wonderful development, the product Increasing 25 per cent. To manufacture the large product re quired nearly 14,000 hands, and to them was paid $4,000,444 In wages during the ear closed. When the manufacture o. Bilk was projected the prediction was ot tered freely enough that it was one of the things that could not be dune at a profit In the United States. The com petition" of foreign manufacturers was looked upon as too keen for American Ingenuity and skill to make any head way. But like the manufacture of tin plate, when the American sets out to do anything he generally gets something to show for his efforts. And for one state In one year $23,000,000 worth of silk goods Is not to be ashamed of. Both Palmer and Buekner are sept uagenarians. The gold Democrats evl dontly did not want any "boy orator' business In their campaign. Free Sliver's Qreatest Burdens. lien we contemplate the great amount of debt and credit that Is un avoidable In a vast but new country like ours, we naturally shrink from any measure that will either rob the lender or do Injustice to the borrower. It Is impossible to estimate the wrong and Injustice that will be done to creditors by the scaling of nearly one-half of debts due them. The very threat to do It will lead to the prompt and hard col lection of debts before- free coinage can become a law. I am advised that al ready debts that would have remained uncalled for have, in fear of such law. been enforced. It Is certain that before a free-coinage bill can become a law the wide distrust caused by the pending of such a measure will lead to the rapid collection of debts, the sacrifice of prop erty, and deepen existing financial dif ficulties growing out of insufficient rev enues for the national as well as for mnny state governments. "It Is sometimes said of creditors that they are bloodthirsty Shylocks, aristo crats, blood-suckers, extortioners. It may be that there are among money lenders some men who merit these epi thets, but the great body of the credi tors of our country are among the thrifty, industrious and Intelligent men and women of every community. One great body of creditors here Is the 970, 000 Union soldiers, their widows and orphans, who ore creditors to the United States to the amount of over $140,000,- 000, a year for services and sacrifices In the Union army. It would be an act of perfidy and meanness beyond express Ion for this great country to pay them with money of less purchasing power than gold coin merely because over production of silver In the United States has reduced the market value of silver bullion contained In a silver dollar. To take advantage "of this decline in order to reduce the value of the pittance to these pensioners is worse than to rob the graves of the dead. There is another class of creditors that the free coinage of silver will greatly Injure. It is the depositors in savings Institutions and kindred organ izations, who, according to official sta tistics, number nearly five million peo ple, and whose deposits amount to more than $1,800,000,000. Will you cheat them by reducing the value and purchasing power of the dollars they have deposit ed? Free coinage will also wipe out nearly one-half the value of life Insur ance which provident people of the United States have paid to secure, in case of their death, some support and protection to wife and children. It will nffect Injuriously the multitude of clerks and employes who depend upon monthly pay, and will reduce the purchasing power of all salaries of officers and em- loyes in the public service of the United States and .of every state, county, city or township In this broad land. "But by far the greatest injury result ing from the free coinage of silver will fall upon the worklngmen. Their wages re now based upon money of the high est value, upon gold coin of standard value. Under free coinage of silver the value of the sliver dollar will fall to 53 cents in gold, or, as I have already said. the 100 cents of the gold dollar will be' worth 194 cents of the silver dollar. With free coinage of silver every working man can and ought to demand enough liver for tils dally wages to be equal to the purchasing power of his present wages In gold. The struggle between the worklngman and the employer will then commence, and no one knows bet ter than the worklngman how difficult It Is to get an advance of pay. We have strikes and strife enough now, when the worklngman gets his pay In gold coin or Its equivalent, but what will be the con dition If he Is paid In cheaper money of the same nominal amount, but of less purchasing power? Every sentiment of Justice will be on the side of the work lngman in his struggle for good money or increased wages In cheap money. Of all the evils which a government can In flict, none can be greater than cheap money, whether of coin or paper. That dollar Is the best dollar that buys the largest quantity of food and clothing. That dollar Is the gold dollar, for It buys more food and clothing than any other dollar and will also buy a sliver dollar for 63 cents, If the coinage of silver is made free at the ratio of 16 to 1 for gold" Senator John Sherman. Both Republicans and Democrats have given reasons for the great land slide In Vermont last week that rolled up 37,000 majority for Joslah Orout, Re publican candidate for governor; and a good many diverse opinions have been" advanced. It has, however, remained for one of the brightest y6uhg men of the Associated Press to definitely settle the question. He tele- graphs from St. Albans to an exchange as follows: "The result Is due to largely increased Republican vote and at the same time to a marked shortage of Democratic votes." "I do sot know what you think about it, but I believe that it is si good deal better to open the mills of the United States to the labor of America than to open up the mints of the United States to the silver of the world." WILLIAM M'KIIVLEY. The Hotel Vampire. An exchange says that thr wns gnashing of teeth at the Waldorf when LI Hung Chang and his suite tie parted for good. The bellboys end v.-n Iters and. chambermaids had been confidently looking forward to "tips" .erf wondrous magnitude and were angry 'because the viceroy and hU followers did not stnnil and deliver to the army of hotel highwaymen and women. It Is true that Li left $200 to be divided among thirty or forty of the servants, but the aristocratic noses of, the Wal tloif roustabouts were elevated in dis dain at the paltry gift. It is barely possible that the great LI, like many American guests, thought that a per son who pays from seven to ten dollars a day for hotel accommodations ought to receive some attention from the hired employes of the establishment without being obliged to come down with an additional fee for every service rendered. It Is a standing disgrace to the hotel business, especially In New York, that the guest who pays rates Is obliged to submit to the blood-letting process from an army of vampires In order to receive the attention and service that he Is supposed to pay for at the clerk's desk. No matu r whether the stranger stops et a dollui-a-day European p'.un house or at one of the palaoos of Mur ry Hill, the "tip" fiend Is always pres ent and woe bel.'de the guest who re. fuses to respond. There Is no question that hotel proprietors themfViVos me largely responsible for this, no matter how much they Insist that it is the fault of h'ool nut vied guests who "tip" servan:n of their own free will. The proprietor of u veil known r'ttaurmil in Scranton many years ago gave or ders to the attendants in his dining room that no "tips" should be received, He paid his employs wages In accord ance with service rendered and ob jected to the "tipping" nuisance. As a result one may receive the best of at tentlon In this dining place and not feel that a "tip" Is expected. In a majority of cases In the metro politan hotels. It Is said, the proprietors pay niggardly wages, expecting the em ployes to beat the balance required for existence out of the guests. This sys tem which gradually transforms the hotel employe into a beat and habitual beggar should be frowned upon by the traveling public in a way that would force hotel men to pay wages sufficient to keep their help alive without aBsess lng the guests. A Mischievous Candidate. As time passes and William Jennings Bryan continues making speeches, all doubts as to the danger of placing such a man In the presidential chair fire of fectually removed. If trere are any honest, well-meaning, sound money Democrats who Imagine that the official actions of Bryan in case of. election would be characterized by a spirit of good sense and conservatism they should ponder upon some of the "gems of oratory" uttered by the llrebrand during the past week. During speech No. 9., at Springfield, Ohio, Bryan said: The line Is drawn. If there Is a man In this country who believes that the gold- staiulard Is a good tiling, I expect him to vote ncalnst the Chicago ticket, because If I am elected the gold standard will not remuln the standard of this country one moment longer than I can help to get rid of It. Can anyone doubt the meaning con veyed In the above? Does any sensible voter believe that William J. Bryan, If elected president 'of the United States, would hesitate to wreck the financial and business Interests of the country In the Interest of his pet hobby? In speech No. 98, Bryan continues: Now. my friends, I stand upon the Chl caso platform. I do not think there Is any one in this campaiKn who will doubt that I, if elected, will carry out that platform. It seems that It ought not to be neces sary for Bryan to utter an.ither word In order to arouse all honest, 'aw-abidln? citizens, regardless of politics or creed. against his candidacy. The man who boldly declares .that he Is for the plat form that condemns the courts, voices sentiments of tnarchy, and advocates systems of reform calculated to wreck Industry and breed discontent, should be given a rebuke at the polls that will forever discourage men of his class who have ambitions to occupy the office of chief magistrate of the greatest nation upon earth. THE WORKINOMAN'SaSE. From the Easton Free Press. In the midst of all the clamor for cheap money and high prices the worklngman IB Fklng, as Bourke Cook ran In his magnifi cent speech puts it, "where do I come In?" The worklngman has no sliver mines, neither Is he sufficient of a capitalist to buy and have silver bullion coined into 53 cent dollars. His only capital is his brawny arms, his deft lingers or his active brain. With these he works and toils In the field of production, and, having earned his wages, is entitled to be paid In the best money of the world. He Is entitled to be paid with a dollar which has a purchasing power of 100 cents. This is the kind of dollars which the worklngman has re ceived In the past, Is getting now. and. If he has anything to say In the present con test, he will get In the future, because tho worklngman is too Intelligent to vote for any party which advocates the substitu tion of a 53-cent dollar for a 100-cent dol lar. . . . II II II- " ' The free silver advocate nas one argu. ment for the wage-earner ai.d another en tirely opposite for the farmer.He tells the wage-earner that his wages Ulll necessar. . - i, . ily advance by the free and unlimited coin age of silver at U to 1. and tells the farmer that prices for all products will advance by the same wonderful magic. What does It avail the worklngman If his wages are increased If at the same t'me he Is com pelled to pay this Increase for the higher prices of living expenses? If his food. doming, rent and the hundred other ex penses that enter Into a man's life are ad vanced In price where Is the worklngman benefited? In addition to this he la to be paid In 53-cent dollars when he has earned a 100-cent dollar. Moreover. It Is an histor. leal and economical truth that the work lngman Is never benefited by cheap money. Ills wages are the last to Increase by rea son of the advance of prices and the first to reel the effect of any decline In price. Where the worklngman is paid full value dollars and prices are low, such prices being Drought down by new invention and by competition, he is of course pros perous and Is able to save something for tne declining years of his life. II II II Every worklngman knows or ought to Know that his wages have never suffered by reason of the present gold standard cf money in this country. The free sllverlte says mat the price of everything. Includ lng labor, has been depreciated because gold, he says, has appreciated. Both of tnese statements are unnunl fledlv fnlse. Oold has not appreciated, neither havo wages depreciated. According to the fig. tires of the finance committee of the United States Semite, made after careful investigation of wages and prices, the man who in 1800 earned 100 cents in gold a day could. In 1965. when gold payments were suspended, get only 8.7 cents for the same labor, while In 1879. after the re sumption of specie payments, he could a-et 139.4 cents.' and in 1891 he could get lCS.fi for the same labor. In the thirty-one years, trom 1880 to 1891, wages measured in gold Increased over 68 per cent., while ne cost or gold measured by labor de creased over -It) per cent., and the otirchas. lng power of waees Increased over 75 per cent, me man who In 1WW earned $2 In gold, could In 1891, by the same labor, earn !.S7 In gold, und. with that M.37. buv what In 18) had cost him about $1. What be comes, in the light of these facts, of the silver man's assertion that gold has ap- prcciuieu or mat wages have decreased? ti ti ii The worklngman must toil for his living whether he Is nuhl in inn-ent Hniim. i i I.IIU UUT!)
