MACKEY, The dispatches report Bryan as be ing exceedingly weary. lie and the public can now swap sympathy. Don't lie Too Sanguine. Secretary of Agriculture Morton says it is all nonsense to conclude that the battle (or sound money has already been won, and we are In clined to think ho is right. Vermont and Maine have never been claimed by the Popocrats. They do not lie within the natural sphere of William J. Pryan's Influence. And while it la undeniable that the verdict of those states, unexpectedly emphatic ns It is, Is a soured of great gratification and encouragement to those who are bat tling for the restoration of business confidence and prosperity, It would bu a .work of Inexcusable fatuity to con clude from these two skirmish -line brushes that there Is no special need for petting into fighting trim in an ticipation of the decisive battle. We are confident that Hryan will he defeated. We trust that ho will be defeated overwhelmingly, as he can be If the sound money forces will guard against premature conclusions. Hut It is not politics to take that for granted. The real fight has yot to bo made. In the middle west, where the pivotal states are, Aryan started with the odds In his favor. The silvcrltes had been for years preparing tho pub lic mind for a free coinage harvest. They had deluged every township In that vast area with silver literature. They had played with consummate adroitness upon the springs of popu lar discontent. They had propogated the Impression that all disappoint ments In life were due to the gold standard. They had imbedded sophis tries In minds that afterward proved reluctant to comprehend the truth. We repeat that Bryan had tho odds in his favor when he started. We don't think he has them in his favor to day, for the. simple reason that In the Interval a flood of light has been turned upon his shallow assumptions und unjustifiable deductions. But the subject at Issue is too grave, too mo mentous, too far-reaching for good or 111 in the consequences of its determ ination to justify the Hllghtest relaxa tion on the part of those who have undertaken to combat sophistry and error. While we may think that the odds of battle are turning, and .while the evidence is pretty clear that they are turning, the only safe way is to act as if the final issue were yet In volved In doubt. Such a course of action will either make victory doubly welcome or rob defeat of any Just cause for self-reproach. To put into activity once more the good money that we already have should be the aim of every sensible voter. Not cheaper money but more business is the need of the time. The Clreat Evader. The Bcranton Times has just donated, another half column of editorial space to Tho Trlbune'a Mexican dollar object lesson, and once more it dodges the point. It started out to claim that the American silver dollar wasn't worth any more than the Mexican silver dol lar in foreign lands. But when It was shown that a Yankee silver dollar would buy two Mexican dollars, al though one Mexican dollar contains more silver bullion 1han one American silver dollar, it shifted the argument and declared that the American dollar was held up to the gold standard be cause it is a full legal tender. But so is a Mexican dollar a full legal tender in Mexico. Hence that explanation doesn't explain. The reason why an American sliver dollar is worth two Mexican dollars, notwithstanding the fact that the two Mexican dollars have nearly 2 1-6 times as much silver In them as the American dollar has, is simply and solely because It is backed by gold. In the manner clearly explained in yesterday's Issue by Secretary Carlisle. Remove that gold backing, and the American sliver, dollar would fall with a thud to. the level, or below the level, of the Mexican dollar. That la all there la to 1L The Times can't get away from the fact without Ignoring a demonstrated .truth. Br the war, why doesn't th .Tlmea man adopt our test? Let him take 100 Mexican dollars and 100 American sil ver dollars and see with which lot he can purchase the larger bill of ex change on London, Berlin or Parish That will answer the question whether or not the gold-backed American silver dollar is worth more in foreign lands than the free coinage Mexican dollar which contains the larger number of grain j of silver bulllun. The chance to work steadily at good wages paid in good money is tho pros pect held out by McKinley. It beats the Popocratio cheap-dollar fake scheme all hollow. The Silver Craze in Canada. In a mild way the silver question has also broken out In Canada. Some one in Tilsonburg has dropped into tha Bryan notion that the fall in certain commodities is due rather to an ap preciation In the value of geld thnn to cheapened processes of production and the overrunning of available markets. This gentleman writes to the Toronto Globe concornlnir a certain Canadian bank which holds a large mortgage on a lumber plant. When the lumber company borrowed from the bank it was getting ti a. thousand for stand ing timber. Today lumber in that lo cality brings only 3 per thousand cut. dressed, delivered and sawed. The Til sonburg man wants to know if the bank ought not to be forced to take cheaper dollars In payment of its mortgage, in view of the decline In values which has been forced on the lumber firm. The fallacy of this question isn't very difficult to detect, but the Toronto paper entertainingly exposes It when it re marks that "a debt must bo an obliga tion to deliver something of value at a future time, and as the value of every thing fluctuates every debt contains an element of uncertainty. Whether the obligation Is to deliver carats of pie clous stones, yards of cloth, dollars of gold, tons of coal, tolces of stone, cords of wood, quintals of fish or bushels of potatoes, there will be fluctuations in value between the contracting and tho payment of the debt. If the thing to be de livered becomes more valuable tho deb tor loses what the creditor gains. If it becomes less valuable the debtor gains what the creditor loses." In the cited case the lumber firm con tracted to rpay to the loaning bank within a certain time a sum of money of a certain standard value, say $500,000 In gold or Its equivalent. It took its chances on the speculation in lumber. If lumber had gone up in price Instead of down, tho bank wouldn't have tried to force the firm to pay It more tban $.i00,000; nor can the firm, now that the speculation went against it, honestly try to force the bank to take less in cancellation of the debt. The price of lumber fell because srlenco Invented great steam saws which do ten times the work at one-tenth tho cost of tho old system. The gold standard had nothing to do with It, and nny attempt to cheapen the dollar so as to avoid tho full payment of debts is nothing less than an attempt to misuse the law for purposes of spoliation. . Only 12 per cent of Maine's population is foreign-born, and that fraction ap pears to be pretty thoroughly Ameri canized. Masses and Classes. "Mr. Bryan asserts that under free coinage the price of silver will rise to an equality with gold. If that be so tho gold standard will still prevail and all those evils incident to that standard, which Mr. Bryan pictures with such a glowing Imagination, will continue to aflllct the country! But It is not possi ble tinder free coinage for silver to bo maintained at par with gold. When the government made its large pur chases under the nets of 1S78 and 1810 the price of silver steadily declined, though those purchases amounted to very nearly tho whole of the annual pro duction of silver In the United States. "The admission of silver to free coin age is in no sense a purchase of silver. He who tal-es his silver bullion to the mint will, under free coinage, have it stamped, and It, or its equivalent, de livered to him with full legal tenil.T quality, but with no guarantee by the government that it shall be maintained at a par with gold, and, therefore, with no value for purchasing purposes other than that which can be based upon its bullion value. If there Is to be an un limited issue of legal tender silver dol lars, gold will inevitably be driven out of circulation. Tho gold standard will Inevitably be abandoned and all debts and all wages wilt be payable in depre ciated currency. Mr. Bryan explained that his course, while beneficial to those whom he calls the masses, is opposed to the Interest of those whom he some times calls the 'holders of fixed Invest ments' and those whom he at other times calls the 'Idle holders of Idle cap ital.' "Does he know that the Idle holders of Idle capital are the 6,000,000 of saving fund depositors, whose deposits amount to $1,800,000,000 Invested in mortgages to the amount of more than $1,000,000,000 and In corporate bonds to a nearly equal amount? Does he realize that among Idle holders of Idle capital are the 2, 000,000 members of building and loan associations, whose mortgages amount to more than $450,000,000? Does he re alize that among the idle holders of idle capital are the owners of policies of life insurance to the amount of nearly $5,000,000,000, and the holders of fire In surance policies to the amount of $1G, 000,000,000? What Is the wealth of the so-called rich men of the country ns compared with the aggregate wealth of those representatives of the prudent and thrifty American citizens? Mr. Bryan haa much to say in condemn a tlon of the creditor class. Does he real ise that, with the exception of a very few people whom the accldenta of for-, tune have relieved from any necessity for exertion, the great mass of the American peoplo are laborers, either with their brains, or with their brains and hands, or with their hands, and that tha great capital fund of this coun try's wealth Is the labor of Its citizens? And does he realize that the financial IHjlicy which he would Inaugurate, will cut in half the purchasing power of the wages of all these people? "No one can rsad the later speeches tf Mr. liryan and Mr. Tillman without see ing that they have begun to realize that their free silver facts are fictions, their arguments are fallacies and thak the burden of their song now is In the de nunciation of wealth and in the attempt to excite those whom they call the masses against those whom they call the classes. There are, of course, ex ceptions to every rule, but, in general, the possibilities of Individual enjoyment are limited and the so-called rich men are nothing more than trustees, and. In general, they recognize the fact that wealth Is a trust and not a gift. Who maintain the great colleges of this coun try, whoso doors never open so quickly as when a needy and Industrious stu dent presents himself? Who build the churches of this country? Who endow the great hospitals in which the poor can now receive a degree of medical and surgical care and an amount of comfort which no mere wealth can ever buy?" From a Recent Speech by C. Stuart Tntterson. - - Bryan's egg argument conveys the inference that under free coinage the government would buy at $1.29 an ounce all the silver that .would be of fered, l.ut the government would do nothing of the kind. All It would do would be to stamp 412,a grains of sil ver and alloy ns a dollar and hand it back to the bullion owner to take Its chances. And like the Mexican dol lar, such a dollar would loon fall to Its bullion value. E. J. Edwards, better known as "Hol land," the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press and one of tho most trustworthy and capable journal ists of the country, has written a cam paign pamphlet entitled "The Silver Conspiracy" which more effectually combines history and argument In sup port of the gold standard than any other publication, big or little, that we have seen. It Is published by the Hub bard Co., Philadelphia, Tho American Volunteers took tho field against Satan on March 9 of this year. Today It has 115 officered posts, has made 900 conversions and has com municated its tenchings to a total of 270,550 attendants at Indoor meetings. The American Volunteers has been called "an army of deeds, not creeds." It deserves the epigram. An effective refutation, of the fallac ies contained In Bryan's Madison Square Garden speech has been written by James S. Barcus in a. dialogue form and published under tha title: "The Boomerang; Or Bryan's Speech with the Wind Knocked Out." Tho book justifies its title, for it simply annihil ates Bryan's argument. "I will tell you how I an frying to run this campaign," said Chairman Hanna to Walter Wellman, . in New York a couplo of weeks ago. "I am proceeding on the theory that wo are going to win by a majority of one vote, and that that one is in danger of get ting away from us." That Is the way to win. The Tammany type of Democracy, as exhibited at the Buffalo conven tion, doesn't propose to let a little thing like principle stand between It and the control of tho regular party organization. What does it care for principle, anyhow? Tuesday's primaries in Philadelphia demonstrate for the third or fourth consecutive time that the Penrose Durham faction, despite its profuse claims, Is very much in a minority when It stacks up against one David Martin. It la eminently fitting that a gentle man of personal respectability anil honest Intentions should hesitate long and solemnly before deciding to ac cept a congressional nomination on the Chicago platform. The Maine result will probably nerve the silver trust to make In creased expenditures In Bryan's be half, which is a good reason why sound money men should keep right on fighting. The Times says straw votes on rail road trains don't amount to anything because people are "too poor to travel." They were not too poor to trav el prior to the passage of the Wilson bill. Senator Jones does well to get In advance all the satisfaction he can out of the theory that Ohio Is for free Bllver. He won't have much chance to cherish this delusion after Nov. 3. Governor Hastings predicts 400,000 plurality for McKinley in Pennsyl vania. It ought to be easily that large, and It is likely to be still larger. It will be noticed that McKlnley'a speeches are growing better day by day. In th's respect they are differ ent from Bryan's. If the truth must be told, Senator Teller's prediction of Bryan's success has a very audible boy-ln-the-grave-yard sound. The free silver farmer always lives over the line, in the next county. ( He is harder to locate than the base of the rainbow. General Palmer doesn't appear to bs In danger of getting many votes, but if he works It rightly ho can have a lot of fun. . i The Lesson Taiigbt by Maine's Restolf. From tho Philadelphia Press. The magnlilcrnt mnjorlty in Maine ends nil doubt In the East. In the West it leaves no doubt, if this crowning mercy U followed by such light for the light as great If lies and a great peril demand and deserve. Maine Is the one Eastern statu in which the suppoitcrs of free sliver coinage claimed a chance, uml nominated Bewail. The state Is the only ono cast of the AIlc ghenics ever curried by a Gi eenbacker. It Is a new state. It was admitted after Illi nois. Mast of Its area has been settled since cither Indiana or Illinois. It is a mining state. Its Indtu'trles have suffered cru elly. The Maine farmer has endured more than the Western. Silent factories have yielded a host of the unemployed. Th lumber of the Interior and the llshln-r of the coast hne both had a bad yea". Not a Muine port but has Its vessels tied up. The loss from cheap frelRhU in .Maine has been bitter and hard lo hear. The Democratic party in Maine kept Its urbanization. It Is elllilent. It was Well provided with speakers und documents. All the East was uefclecti I to coiiccntral on Mulno. For twenty years Maine le turns have recorded a vole which respond ed lo effort and pre-llrnrcd tho future, now on one side and now on that. These facts deepen the lesson of the Verdict. It was made on one lstuie and one only silver. It was made after the fullest knowledge. On both sides the last vote was polled. The state lias spoken. The result Is decisive. All classes unite. The logging camps and the tilling villages, the farm township nnd the factory villages, tho cities and the great counties which stretch for leagues with hero and thero a house, nit are of one mind, one act, one vote. No room is left for doubt. No space Is loft for question. To no slm.ii element In the varied population of .Maine can free silver point as responding to Its plea, Its argument or its appeal to the envy mi l discontent of men. The Democratic vote is cut down to the sheer bare bulk of voters whom nothing can detach from party, a must less, leaderloss bulk, rolling submerged and waterlogged In this great tidal wave, whose triumphant surge has rolled in upon tho coasts of Maine ns tha waves conic when navies aro stranded. For this great deliverance all thanks giving and praise. The great experiment of self-government Is again sealed In suc cess nnd crowned In triumph. Onco mora liberty Is Jtistillcd of her children and fr?e. ilotn proved the wisest rule known to men. Tho steady march of law, of honesty and of honor which a groat Nation has kept so long with flying banners forward bent along tho open highway of the world's praise Is not to end In, t'r qungmlro of repudiation and the quicksands of mob law. The Influences felt in Maine will bo felt everywhere. Maine leads. The peoplo have spoken". Once moro nnd yet again tlivlno iTovldenco guides their utter ance. Maine haa done much. More remains, Tho East is secure. The West must ba secured. This perilous campaign holds no hours so full of peril as those which pass before November. No state will speak. No majorities will bo heard. In silence the millions will gather to decide an issue -still to be decided. For years great classes have been plied with all the arts of tho demagogue and all tho lies cf self-interest. World-wide causes have re. duced the apparent return to the farmer. Labor agitators find their sure reward In setting class upon class, nnd for the first time in a century of presidential elections a presidential candidate aids, abets and lends them. Envy has been sown tnick by men whose ill trade of detraction and dem agogery prospers when tho Ignoble pas sions of men. cast up the mire and dirt of tho nethermost depths of society. Ureat newspapers nre aiding. Lying documents are socking every farm and reaching ev ery laborer. The prosperity which all thrift shares Is used to barb the weapons nnd point tho shafts of venomous assault on the very structure nnd framework of law and order, because It Is easier to place boforo the envious eyes of men the wealth of the few than the vast advance In com. fort, health, happiness and prosperity of the many. This assault has to bo met. This surge of repudiation and revolution must be rolled back. Tho swelling tide of sanity, of reason, of patriotism nnd of all right eousness must move on without a check. It must be turned as the rivers of water aro turned on every doubtful state. The country has too long paid the frightful price of doubt over these issues, on which rest the foundations of society. One hour of real question as lo tho election of Mc Kinley and Hobart would outweigh a thousand-fold tho cost of reaching with dliect spoken and printed arguments every voter In every state. Diffused ns tho doubtful voters aro through both parties In every state. In both city and country, the campaign of education and agitation In costly beyond all the past. Tha final result must quiver in uncertainty, unless It is posslblo from now until November to flood the doubtful states with argument and to make the canvass man by man and house by bouse with patient persever ance. This is Indispensable. Maine set tles nothing but the drift of tho tide. t7n. less it Is seized it its Hood and carried on to victory by tireless, unremitting work, the ebb will be hoarse with the roar of defeat nnd destruction to the Nation and to nil Its great fabric of Industry and investment. THE DIVORCE EVIL. From the Detroit Tribune. Tho fact Is that the institution of di vorce as it is being administered Is de feating its own purpose In a tcry great degree. The legal dissolution of the mar riage relations was ordained with but ono end lu view, and that to decrease the sum total of human unhapplin ss. It was in tended that where marriage had brought uctual misery, the mischief should bu un done. The effect of our manner of going nbotit It has been to vastly increase human misery. The moro wo loose tho mar riage bnn I which Is galling the oftencr the galling marriage bond makes Its ap pearance. I'nbappinoss Is a peculiar thing, any way. It is the irksome condition from which we think we may escape by strug gling that mostly makes us unhappy. The inevitable speedily becomes tolerable, as Instances without number prove. Very rarely Is It the fact that conditions con tinue to oppress seriously after it becomes thoroughly certain that they cannot bo avoided. Every day we see rrutnnn beings living in circumstances that seem to us intolerable. For example we observe a hopeless paralytic who cannot rniso his band to feed himself, and we do not Had him necessarily unhappy. We nro more likely to find that person reconciled to his state, nnd virtually as happy ns anybody. Thus it comes about that a lot of whit we call marital infelicity would never be infelicity at all but for tho freedom with which we grant divorces. Thero Is not one domestic quarrel In a thousand which could not bo accommodated, but for the assurance hrld before tho eyes of married people that the law does not require them to lie very Indulgent nnd forbearing after all and that they don't have to get nlong with each other unless It Is entirely con venient. Of course there Is such a thing ns a pro per divorce, a divorce that ought to be granted for the good of society, for there Is such n thing ns s honilesrly Immoral marriage. I'.nt such divorce Is far less fre quent thnn our professedly humane legis lators seem to think. There Is no sorlo'is doubt In anybody's mind that marriage Is the most important social Institution, and that the future of the race depends iipin It. With the welfare of unborn genera tlons In our keeping we ought to proceed, It would seem, with less regard for tha mere comfort and convenience of tha present generation. - CHEAP MONEY NO t I RE.

GREAT EASTERN haul of a hundred miles to market, in which days were consumed, ami look around and sco tho farmer of today dis posing of his surplus almost at his door for money good tho world over and then tell us, If you please, who suffered tho hardship? Tho farmer may Just now get only 40 cents for his wheat, but the latter will not have cast him half as much ns it cost the farmer fifty years ago, and tho money will buy him far more of both the necos. paries and tho luxuries of life. As it Is with tho farmers so It Is with the worklngmen. The wages of all classes of workingmen have doubled and trebled since 1S40, whllo money will buy three times as much as it did then. Why, then, should not all men of com mon sense who work in various employ ments desire the best money that Is go ing? Instead of cheap money being a blessing It Is a curse to nations, com munities and Individuals, It is the sign and Index of a low civilization. It Is de generacy not Improvement, retrogression, not progress In a word, It Is un-American, MK. POWDEHbY'S GOOD POINT. From tho Allentown Chronicle. Mr. I'owderly put the tariff question In In a nutshell when he snid in his New York speech: "It sounds beautiful to say that the world Is my country and all men my brothers, but self-preservation Is tho llrst law of nations as well as of nature." It Is necessary that nations, In order to exist, shall hnve money to pay their ex penses, nnd tho law of self-preservation Impels them to procure that money In tho easiest way possible, which Is by means of a tariff on Imports. It would be possible to raise It by a direct tax on the peoplo themselves, but thnt method has never been popular, even with the most devoted adherents of frcn trade. Even they will not acknowledge the power of brotherly love to such an extent ns that, nnd tho same rule applies to mil Ions ns to Indivi duals. As a matter of fact, there are no free Irado nntlons. Tho one which preaches the doctrine most strenuously docs not practice It. If It did, the traveller landing In lihigtnnd would not Und every port guarded by a custom house. Free trade Is on Irridesccnt dream, which can never be realized until men becomo much more brotherly and solf-saci'lllcing than they are now. AN IMPORTANT CAMPAIGN. From the Carbondnle Leader. Tills is nn Important campaign. Per sonalities should not enter Into a consid eration of the vote for congressman, and Lackawanna does not want to be repre sented at Washington by a free sllverlte or free trader, no matter how lovely ho may be personally. Every one who Is op posed to these baneful heresies should ba certain to cast his vote for William Con ned who stands for honest money and the manufacture of American goods by American workmen nt American wages. HIM. ;i Altl) Til Kilt OWN. From the Times-Herald. Having a gold dollar as a basis, the people will express their disapproval of the attempt lo cheapen it. Having a wretchedly inadequate system of rev enues, the people will vote for a remedy that has been tried and found to be ef ficacious. H IM. ASK HIM TO MOVE. From the Baltimore American. It is generally understood that, whllo Major McKinley may prefer to stay home during the. campaign, the peoplo will po litely ask h!m to bo ready to move ufter tho vote is taken. MAKING I1ISTOUV. From tho Tlmes-Hurnld. The front porch campaign Is making his tory. OI R COMIC NEIGHBOR. From the Wllkes-Barre Record. The Scranton Times li an Intensely Bryanlte-Free-Silver-Colnage organ, much more intense, Indeed, thnn any other ex Democratic paper published In this sec tion of the stnto, and consequently It 's more ridiculous In Its deliverances. The fact Is that 3,000 hard-handed iron workers Frieze ! Department SUIT AND PANTS FINE TAILORING AT POPULAR of Homestead made an excursion to Can ton to give Major McKinley personal as surance of their hearty support. This In cident came In conflict with the Times' frequent allegation for Uryan and free sil ver coinage. But the Times was equal to even such a contingency, and now it as serts that the tyrant employers of the 3,000 Homestead iron workers compelled them to inako the Journey to Canton against their will. The Times must place a very low estimate on the manhood and independence of tho worklngmen. Tho real explanation of the action of the men of Homestead Is that they have sen"e enough to know that the way to attain their desire is to restore the protective tarlfr policy, and In William McKinley they see the proper man to do the restor ing. QUAY AND HASTINGS. From the Easton Free Press. Senator Quay is opposed to no one moro strongly than to Wanninnker, and his friends and supporters everywhere should know and realize this and act accordingly. Quay's friends should sco to it that dele gates friendly to Quay are elected from every district, so that the nominees for the legislature also may bo friendly to Henntor Quay ami ready to support him In nil good work. Dot us elect Governor Hastings to he the successor to Senator Cameron. For what Is wnnted now Is a strong, cnpuble man to represent Penn sylvania In the United States senate In place of Cameron, it. is Indisputable that tiuvernor Hastings would make an excel lent senator. Whenever you see a state ment that Senator Quay Is for this or that man for senator and Is not for Hastings, put It down that the statement Is false. THE NOBLEST WORK. From the liaitlmoie Amerlcnn.
