The hoodlum element may howl at
Terrence V. I'owderly, but the thought
ful voters are with him, and In the long
run they count.
The Hand of Welcome.
The letter of John F. ScraRff, esq.,
in another column, giving the reasons
why he has deckled to Identify himself
In the future with the Republican par
ty, la a public expression of what has
lately become the private thought and
purpose of thousands of men formerly
active and prominent In the councils
and battles of the Democracy. Mr.
Scragg taken the whole community into
his confidence and permits it to know
just how the conversion to which he
thus testifies was forced upon him.
In a community like this there ought
to be and we have every reason to be
lieve there are very mnny voters who.
In tho present political emergency, oc
cupy precisely Air. Hcragg's attitude.
The Democracy ol Lackawanna coun
ty In the main has always been friendly
to Protection. It Blood with Itandull
rather thun with Frank Hurd. It
elected to congress in Mr, Amernian a
man who, In Ills tariff ideas, halt
ed far short of Cleveland, Wilson and
Hrynn. It has had abundant demon
stration during th past three years of
the unwisdom of a revenue system
which both falls to supply current dc
mandsaud simultaneously causes much
of the manufacturing- for tho American
market to be done abroad.
Nor have, the solid and substantial
Democrats of this volley, thu men who
are in politics for something higher
than the spoils of office, any reason to
sympathize with the new slogan of free
silver. Tho adoption of this revolu
tionary financial experiment would
bring no benellt to any class of our
local citizenship. It would benellt no
miner, save tho sliver miner; help no
artisan save the one unwilling to pay
his honest debts; and bring to our va
ried business interests at least confu
sion and continued uncertainty If not
actual bankruptcy and ruin. From no
standpoint of self-Interest, therefore,
does the free coinage proposition ap
peal to th, thoughtful judgment and
Intelligent favor of those men In this
community who, though formerly In
affiliation with the Democratic party,
yet hold their cltlscnshlp free from the
dominance of blind partlsanlsm.
If, then, they find themselves, as they
do, at variance with their party on
the two great Issues of present politi
cal contention, why should they not,
as honest and courageous men, frank
ly accept the logic of the situation and
proceed to align themselves with the
party with whose present teachings
they are more nearly In accord? The
nominee of the Democratlo party, Mr,
Bryan, has set them the right example.
In a speech made more than a year ago
at Memphis, he declared In effect that
If the Democratic party took a position
on the currency issue different from
his own he would leave that party.
Here Is a manly acquiescence In the
right and duty of the Individual citi
zen to act In politics In accordance with
his true convictions, regardless of for
mer party affiliations; and Mr. Bryan
cannot with fairness object when his
own rule of action Is put to the test
Mr. Bryan, being for free trade and
free silver, has headed a party which
battles for those ends. That it Is not
the Democratlo party of former days,
albeit Invested by questionable meth
ods with that time-honored title. Is
shown by the fact that so many emi
nent and respectable Democrats in all
parts of the country refuse to recog
nise it as such. The Democracy of
Lackawanna county, not perhaps as an
organisation for that Is held together
by certain politicians for purposes of
their own but certainly as individuals,
regarding parties merely as Instru
ments wherewith to promote the gen
eral good, has surely as clear a right to
act In the direction of its beliefs as has
the Democracy of any other section.
If Mr. Bryan typifies free trade and
free silver, and on these grounds alone
solicits popular support, Democrats
who want neither free' trade nor free
sliver should feel no hesitancy In giv
ing their support to the candidate of
Protection and sound money.' -
AVe believe they will do this In large
numbers In this county; and to all who
do Republicans will gladly extend the
hand of welcome.
"The chief cause of the trouble '.ha
country has been experiencing In the
last two or three years," says Presi
dent Rogers of the Northwestern Uni
versity, "is due to a want of confi
dence occasioned by the free silver agi
tation. Prosperity will return when
that specter lias been laid to rest. For
that reason, although I have been a
Democrat in national politics, I expect
to vote for Mr. McKinley." Thus
speaks the voice of American culture.
President Rogers will have plenty of
company.
A Menace to Education.
An Important point Is opportunely
brought out by the Times-Herald wheq
It directs attention to the fact that the
election of Bryan would In all prob
ability deal a death blow to the educa
tional aspirations of hundreds of thous
ands of young men and women by clos
ing many small colleges and seriously
crippling the big universities. It
would produce this unwelcome effect
for the reason that it would necessar
ily Involve the reduction by one-half
of the incomes of those educational
Institutions which rely upon their en
dowment funds for maintenance. The
same is true of every charitable insti
tution similarly sustained.
The educational endowments of the
Baptist church, which, for Instance,
would suffer depreciation, are:

dians 117.500

The loss to the Methodist Episcopal
church of the United States if one-half
of its endowment fund was destroyed
can be estimated from the following:

Institutions exclusively for wo

This does not include foreign mission
schools sustained by American capi
tal. The losses to the educational en
dowments of the other denominations
would be on a similar scale, ns would
also be the losses to non-soctarlan en
dowed Institutions of all kinds.
The case of Cornell university affords
a good illustration. As our Chicago
contemporary nsserts, the endowment
of this institution is in round numbers
$10,000,000. Of this $8,300,000 is In income-producing
bonds. The largest
block of Investments is In municipal
bonds and real estate mortgages and
railroad bonds follow In the order giv
en. It Is estimated that only 5 per
cent, of tho Investments require gold
payments, the rest being payable In
currency. The remaining revenue de
rived from tuition fees, etc., Is payable
In currency. On the other hand, 00 per
cent, of the expenditures would be tem
porarily unaffected by the depreciation
of tho currency, namely, those cover
ing the salary list. Of this CO per cent,
the professors and others employed
would be the ones Injured, and through
them the community in which they live.
But 50 per cent, remains chargeable to
purchases and hero the university
would suffer severely from a depreciat
ed currency, especially as much of its
apparatus, chemicals, etc., must be
bought In Europe and paid for In gold.
Ultimately, el nee all but some $2,000 of
the $300,000 yearly revenue of the uni
versity Is payable In currency, Cornell
would be mulc ted $250,000 a year by the
free coinage of silver.
The Interests of humanity cry out
against such a wanton spoliation,
whose sole benefit would go to the dis
tended pockets of the speculators in sil
ver bullion.
General Grosvenor as a political
mathematician has proved his claim to
public confidence. His estimate of the
next electoral vote Is none too high.
Thacher In a Hole.
The nomination at Buffalo last week
of John Boyd Thacher, of Albany, for
governor of New York, on a platform
unreservedly indorsing the free, unlim
ited and independent coinage of sliver
at 16 to 1, has called attention not only
to the discrepancy between this plat
form and the one adopted by the Em
pire state Democracy at Saratoga last
June, but also to the violent antagon
ism which It opens between Thacher'a
own views then and what will neces
sarily have to be his views If he shall
accept the Buffalo nomination.
Mr. Thacher, as temporary chairman
of the Saratoga convention, used these
words: "A false view of finance is
worse than false views on such a ques
tion as the tariff. It affects the na
tional credit, and touches with coarse
hand the national honor. It is the
duty of the Democracy In the present
crisis to speak clearly on the financial
question. The party of Jefferson and
Jackson, of Benton and Tllden, has al
ways favored the best money In use
the money adopted as the standard by
the most enlightened notions of the
earth. Neither consideration of exped
iency nor the selfish Interest of those
who own silver bullion should lead us
to depart from the safe and secure
path."
On that occasion he also said: "The
stamp of the government on a piece
of silver can never make It worth much
more than the world Is willing to give
for It. It Is passing strange that the
very men who have such marvelous
faith In the power of their government
should seem to have so little sentiment
as to its honor. They reverence Its seal
but appear to be indifferent to Its
escutcheon."
In connection with the Saratoga plat
form, which opposed the free and un
limited coinage of silver in the absence
of the co-operation of other great na
tions, these remarks commit Mr.
Thacher to a line of policy directly at
variance with that embodied In the
platform of the convention which
named him for governor. He cannot
divorce the nomination frost the plat
form. One goes with the other. The
platform, indeed, was adopted first.
"Neither consideration of expediency
nor of selfish Interest" should lead Mr.
Thacher to "depart from the safe and
secure path." Wh&t will he do? What
can he do?
It develops that the dispatch an
nouncing General Harrison's decision
to make no more speeches in this cam
paign was unauthorized". He Is at the
command of the national committee,
and he will be placed where he will do
the most good. Kvery Republican will
be glad to learn this.
rir. Bryan's Chance.
It is worthy of note that altnough
Mr. Bryan since his nomination at Chi
cago has made nearly 150 speeches he
has not yet answered one of the five
propositions laid down by Secretary
Carlisle at the very beginning of the
present campaign. Mr. Carlisle's five
points were as follows:
First There is not a free sliver coinage
country in the world today that is not on
a silver basis. Its sliver coin passes only
at its bullion valfie. All paper money
passes at the same value. Any gold coin
they may have passes for about twice the
value of the same face amount of silver
coin.
Second There is not a gold standard
country In the world today but uses a
large amount of silver with the gold,
which silver is held up to gold value
and passes for as much as the same face
amount In gold.
Third There Is not a silver standard
country In tho world today that uses any
gold In circulation along with its silver.
What gold they liuvo Is bought and sold
as a commodity at twice lis face value in
sllvur.
Fourth There is not a silver stnndard
country In the world today that has more
than one-third as much money In clrcu
lalon per capita as we have in the United
States.
Fifth There Is not a silver standard
country In the world today in which tho
laboring man receives as much wages as
he does in tho United States.
Mr. Brynn has told us on several oc
casions that if elected president he
would not have any man like Carlisle
In the treasury department. He has
also credited the Kentucky financier
with having "betrayed the people into
the hands of the Shylocks of London"
very much as "Henedlct Arnold tried
to betray our revolutionary fathers to
the British." Uut he has never ven
tured a syllable of reply to the fore
going cardinal assertions. '
May bo he will Co so when he speaks
In Seranton.
Says the Industrial News: "The
working people all over the country are
more and more realizing the fact that
the conditions which exist today ore
duo directly to the destruction of our
protective system by a bill which a
Democratic president denounced as the
creature of perfidy and dishonor. Fol
lowing that iniquitous measure came
depression In business, declining values
and financial demoralization. As a
remedy for all this long train of evils,
the free traders and their co-workers
propose nothing? but a debasement of
the currency and a repudiation of na
tional obligations. They dare not face
the real Issue. They dread the truth.
They shrink from a discusslpn which
they know is sure to prove that the
cause of all our distress lies In their
own wicked assault upon our protec
tive system." More couldn't have been
said if the News had filled a column.
A "sixty-day" poll of Indiana (that
Is, one taken two months before elec
tion) discloses 40,000 Republican plur
ality. Polls of this kind are indicative
rather than conclusive. But It Is sug
gestively corroborative of the Hoosler
guess that Senator Gorman, who six
weeks ago thought Bryan would win,
now concedes McKInley's election and
fears he will capture Maryland.
The luct t,hat the Democratic party
has to be deserted by Its best elements
about every generation would seem to
be a good reason why those elements
should spare themselves the embar
rassments Incident to this periodical
renovation by becoming and remaining
Republicans.
If It Is true, as is asserted, that the
American Merchant Marine associa
tion, of which Mr. Sewall Is president,
Is electioneering for McKinley, it mere
ly emphasizes the fact that the Maine
shlp-bulldcr is shrewder as a business
man than as a politician.
Just why Bryan should waste his
oratorical sweetness on the politically
desert air of the district of Columbia
isn't apparent, unless upon the suppo
sition that it's advertising he seeks,
rather than votes.
It was rather mean in Johnny Gar
man to keep Tillman out of Lackawan
na county. He would be just the kind
of speaker local Republicans would
want.
Senator Hill seems to labor under the
delusion that it was the newspapers
which made a fool of him. He forgets
his own Invaluable co-operation.
The Now York Mercury, free silver
organ, has suspended. Unlike the New
York Journal, it had no silver mine be
hind it.
Chairman Jones' modesty in failing
to claim Pennsylvania justly subjects
him to suspicion.
Mr. Bryan now compares Secretary
Carlisle to Benedict Arnold. There
may be fun yet.
It does not seem probable at Canton
that Bryan will capture the labor vote.
Why Mr. Scragg
Is a Republican
The following letter was addressed on
Sept. 1 to I'ruthonotary C. K. Pryor by
John F. Scragg. Ksq.:
"My Dear Sir: Hitherto I have always
acted with and supported the national
iJemocratic party and cnmlhtntes. Tho
so-called tariff policy of tho Democratic
purty waa always difficult to support.
Actual experience under two Democratic
administrations caused me to hesitate in
my belief in the udviaablllty of longer
continuing in my support of that party,
which in too muny ways to now specify
had proven its lack of capacity as a gov
erning party.
"Whatever doubt I might have had
prior to the late Chicago convention was
as n result thereof speedily dissolved,
when I found that all that hud been
tulkod for, and promised hy tho Democrat
ic party was by said convention trumpled
out of existence: when it was there de
monstrated that the name of the party,
which was about the most valuable part
of It left, could be, and was captured by
the Altgelds, the Tillmans, tho silver
mine owners and a mixed crowd of cx
rebels from the south, their sympathizers
from tho North, Anarchists from the
large cities, and the long-whiskered and
other western cranks who were in control
of that convention and thereto was at
tached a dishonest, un-American, un
Deniocratlc and dangerous platform, and
thereupon was placed a candidate who
during this current year prided himself
upon tho fact that ho was not a Dem
ocrat, and who during his term In con
gress was distinguished, if at nil, only
as a free trado windy orator protesting
mucli 'against any protection to our coal
and other Pennsylvania Interests.' When
this dangerous combination not only cap
tured the Chicago convention but did so
by dishonestly unseating honestly and le
gally elected delegations thereto; when It
insulted and ignored all the best Interests
of our great business states and centers
and their delegates, and declared for
cheap money then was forced upon my
consideration, and upon the consideration
of all those who desire only what actual
experience has proven Is best for this gov
ernment and who wish that our money,
as our citizens, shnlt bn as good as the
best, something higher thai party fealty.
It was then simply, as I view it, a choice
between honesty or dishonesty, honor or
dishonor, and immediately I, together with
thousands upon thousands of others, de
clared for tho honest sound money candi
dates and for the Republican party.whlch
declares for Protection, for sound money
and for all that ns a'government policy is
Bfe, 'saying in its platform Just what it
means,' and meaning Just what it says.
"McKinley and Hobart are admirable
candidates with established reputations
ns Protectionists and statesmen. Feeling
that nothing should be left undone in this
campaign toward their election and tho
election of William Connell to congress,
and all candidates favorable to tho policy
of tho Republican party, and believing
thus, I desire to contribute my Individual
effort in that direction and as ono means
thereto I desire to apply for membership
In the Central Republican club of Scran
ton, nnd will appreciate it if you will
kindly furnish mo with proper application
blanks therefor. In deciding on this
course I am not unmindful that among
those talked of for tho Democratic nomi
nation for congress In this district to op
pose Mr. Connell, ure warm personal
friends of mine, whoso success In uny un
dertaking not harm fill to the people,
would be my delight, but an acceptance of
such nomination will be unwise on their
part, and can and will In my opinion re
sult only In defeat, as on this so-called
Democratlo platform It should. Should
any ono of these friends accept, It will be
ngulnst my advice, and It will be an ac
ceptance of his own choosing, and the re
sponsibility therefor, and tho burden
thereof must be borne without any as
sistance whatever from me.
There Is In this campaign altogether
too much at stake, nnd tho principles In
volved of too much Importance to permit
personal feelings to sway ono from Blip
porting tho candidate who stands for
correct principles as understood by the
voter. William Connell, being tho Re
publican nominee, standing squarely on
tho Republican platform, for those prin
cipals and policies which are for tho best
interests of Ibis district, besides being a
man of such varied and great Interest In
tho district, that viewing his election
from a selfish standpoint he will bo com
pelled to caro for my interest whllo car
ing for his own, I shall take pleasure In
supporting him and using my best efforts
In having others do likewise; nnd this I
shall do regardless of whom those who
lire now destroying whatever is left of
tlie local Democratic party by attempting
to run it for once by pretending loyalty
to It, nnd by mismanaging It, may nomi
nato to oppose him. Sincerely yours,
John F, Scragg,
LA II OR IJMONS AND SILVER.
From tho Industrial News.
That the supporters of tho free silver
theory nro in Uesperato straits and, like
a ilrowning man, catch at anything that
offers a frail support, is aptly Illustrated
In tho frantic efforts of tho Seranton
Times to make political capital out of the
endorsement of free silver months ago by
the Amerleon Federation of Labor and
by the Seranton Central Lnlior union.
The fact of the mntter Is, tho endorse
ment of the mensurc had no political slg
nitlcnnce, as polities are not allowed to
enter Into the deliberations of a trndes
union, and as a political measure it has
been repudiated by nearly all the labor
unions In the country.
As showing the sentiment of tho woriv
lngmen of this city as regards tho free
colnnge of Eilver, a poll was recently
taken of the employes of tho car shop.
Five hundred of these men were taken
promiscuously, nnd out of that number
it was found that 200 of them were Dem
ocrats, sixty of whom declared their In
tention of voting for McKinley. Of the
830 Republicans among the workmen only
ten were found who said they believed in
free sliver and the Chicago platform. A
canvass of any of the hundreds of work
shops of the city would disclose a similar
feeling among the reading and thinking
employes, nnd It Is the sheerest nonsense
for the sliver agitators to look for re
cruits among the ranks of labor.
THE K1VAI.8 CONTRASTED.
From the Post-Express.
How striking is the contrast between
the Republican nominee and his opponent.
McKinley Is a statesman, Bryan Is an em
piricist. McKinley is strong In saving
common sense, wrought from tho experi
ence of his country and the world. Uryn
Is weak with vagaries, delusions and fan.
clful theories, which history has stamped
as false and vicious. McKinley appeals
to reason. Bryan appeals to passion. Mc
kinley upholds the national good faith.
Bryan scouts at and degrades It. McKln
lev stands for the unity of the land.
Bryan seeks to array section against sec
tion, clas against class. Bryan, with the
temerity of .youth, enuncltees crudities.
McKinbturnlshed with knowledge, vin
dicates well established principles of gov
ernment, McKinley exhibits the modesty
of greatness. Bryan, a tyro In politics,
craves notoriety, and affects knowledgo
which he does not possess. McKinley
continually Increases In public regard.
Bryan as constantly deteriorates, for th-
American public Is not slow to detect the
charlatan and to expose tho pretender.
GOT THE BEST OF IT.
Wellman, In Times-Herald.
One of the best 16 to 1 stories Is told here
by a southern politician. During the can
vass for election of delegates to the na
tional Republican convention a white man
and a colored man were rivals for the
honor of representing a certain district.
The white aspirant favored the gold stand
ard. Presently the former started out on
his electioneering tour. The party voters
were nearly all colored men. "Boys, I am

he explained, "sixteen Filver dollars to

discovered the sort of doctrine his an

wittily to counteract its effect. "Don't let

I'll tell yo' what It means. Hlxteen to one

The colored man was elected and went to

IlKYAN'H onJKCTIO.XS.
Speech by C, Stuart Patterson,
'Mr. Hryan objects that gold has appro
elated and Is appreciating, bitt ho fur
nlshes no evidence to supoprt his asser
tion. It Is true that nothing on earth is of
stablu value. It U equally true that you
must have some standard and that the
civilized world has nitreed) that thera Is no
standard which Is as valuable and as prac.
ticable as gold. If gold, considered with
regard to all commodities nnd with r.
gard to the wages of labor, had appro,

tho prices of some other commodities
have not fallen at all.
"Mr. Itryan objects that the gold Btand
ard Is of British origin. If It be a wise
national policy the fact that It Is of Hrlt
Ish origin furnishes no reasonable argu
mcnt against It. Mr. Bryan has never
been disturbed In his advocacy of free

We will sit on old man Sewall harder than
his own State sat:
We will bury Tommy Watson till he won't
know whore he's at,
As we go marching on.
Olory, glory, hallelujah, etc.
When the vote Is cast and counted, when
tho long campaign Is done,
When th people give their verdict for
Ohio's gallant son;
Then we'll send this welcome message,
"Fare thee well. Hi to !,"
As we go marching on.
Olory, glory, hallelujah.
