That Pilgrimage to Canton.
The attention of Republicans Is
celled to the excursion to be run next
Friday from this region to Canton. It
was arranged for by (lie sound money
press of Lackawanna nnd Luzerne
counties In deference to the wishes of
many persons who had Indicated a de
sire to see and hear the next President
at his modest Ohio home. It Is not a
moiiey-makliif? enterprise. It will not
boost any particular politician's ambi
tions. It has no other significance
whatever than the local culmination of
an eacerness to jrlve nssurance to
Protection's leading advocate that the
people are with him in his present can
didacy and that they have interest
enough in the man and In his cause to
move them to make un 800-mile pil
grimage In order to deliver this assur
ance In person.
W'u me not much given to hero wor
ship nnd have outlived some of the ex
uberance which Inspires great demon
strations In honor of public men nut
much better than the average of us.
Yet when we rellcct Upon the full mean
ing of these continuous processions of
admiiiiiK thousands to Canton and re
call also the personal cleunliuess, for
titude und wholesome patience of the
man who la the magnet of this great
movement of human travel, the spec
tacle llres our Interest and Irresistibly
compels admiration. In our day there
has been only one other statesman who
commanded from the people a similar
measure of their spontaneously prof
fered enthusiasm; and It Is no rellec
tlon upon the memory of the lamented
Plalne to pay that William MeKlnley
has come fairly and honestly by the
ladder of cheer merit to the pedestal
which lilalne once occupied.
If there Is ony portion of these United
States which oucht to feel an espec
ially earnest Interest In Major McKln
ley's candidacy and a particularly cor
dial desire to give to that interest a
practical expression before as well as
on Nov. 3, it is this Industrial cunimu
nlty which has experienced from the
policies which MeKlnley champions so
Inrge a measure of Its pust prosperity
and which has had such vivid reasons
to regret the temporary substitution at
Washington of different policies. It
ought to be an easy matter to secure
among the citizens of the twin valleys
a large representation both willing and
eager to carry to Canton a token of
Northeastern Pennsylvania's stead
fastness In the true faith. The excur
sion next Friday must not fall below
the proportions of a suitable expres
sion of Republican fidelity and enthus
iasm. i ,
Messrs. Kieferand Ward, the Republi
can nominees for county auditor, liavg
both exhibited In private business re
lations, honesty and keenness. These
are the qualities needed in the office to
which they aspire.
The Real Australian Ballot.
Much ado has been made from time
to time over the fact that a large ma
jority of our state3 have adopted the
Australian secret ballot, and the gen
eral public has been led to the conclu
sion that the consummation of this re
form would eventually result in a de
cided Improvement In the quality of our
politics and politicians. But now, in
this month's Forum, comes a message
from one of the most prominent Aus
tralian statesmen, Hugh H. I-.unk, to
the somewhat startling effect that our
ballot Bystem Is only a grinning traves
ty on Its antipodean original, and that
If we want to act as an effective filter
to the corrupted stream of politics we
shall have to throw three-fourths of it
overboard and begin anew. Mr. I.uak's
paper Is an admirable analysis of de
fects In American polling methods, and
as we cannot hope, within present
limits, to follow him through his dls-'
cussinn of them, the reader Is recom
mended to peruse the contribution In
full. Hut we must find room for a re
production cf his description of an Aus
trallan election, for that in Itself sug
gests by comparison most of the weak
nesses of the Americanised edition of
the Australian booth system.
An election In Australia, Mr. Lusk
tells us. Is a simple and expeditious
process. There are two reasons why
' this Is true. In the first place no two
Issues are ever mixed at a single elec
tion. If the election tie for members of
the legislature It Is never mixed up
with an election to any other office
whatever; If for any other office, as for
Instance a mayor, It Is never held at
the same time as that for members of
the legislature. Secondly the opera
tion of preparing and casting the ballot
Is In Australia much more simple than
in America. The voter, having been
registered and Identified, enters the
booth-ind receives from the returning
officer a ballot paper marked with the
initials of the official. He passes at
once Into one of the separate compart
ments provided, and unfolds his ballot.
That ballot contains the names of all
candidates for the particular office to
be filled, arranged alphubetlcally. The
voter with a pencil draws lines through
the names of men he does not wish to
vote for, leaving no more names than
the number of persons to be elected.
The bullot Is then refolded, returned to
the returning olticer, numbered and de
posited in the box.
A word should be said at this point
concerning how voters are registered
and tickets nominated in Australia. In
every district a permanent official is
appointed whose duty it is, With the as
sistance of the police, to enter upon
the district roll the name of every per
son entitled to vote, and on another
roll the name of every person
no longer entitled. The rolls thus
complied are publicly advertised, be
sides being exposed for public Inspec
tion at certain places within each dis
trict for a month before they are sub
mitted for confirmation to the court,
which sits, under the presidency of one
of the regular permanent i Judges, to
hear all objections either to the Inclu
sion or exclusion of names. Of these
objections due notice In writing must be
lodged by the person aggrieved with
the district registrar, and that officer
may either admit the error or contest
the claimed right before the. court. In
case of contest, no one but the claimant
himself is heard, and party considera
tions are kept wholly to one side. When
contests are decided, the electoral roll
is declared approved for that particu
lar election and no further question can
be raised as to the right to vote of the
persons enrolled. Instead of selecting
candidates as we do in America by par
ty primaries and conventions, notice In
writing, signed by a certain number of
registered electors, Is filed within a
specified time before election with the
registrar of the district that these vot
ers want such and such names put on
the official ballot; and as many names
of candidates are entered as there are
duly signed petitions. Candidates for
each oliice being arranged on the ticket
alphabetically, without circles, quad
rangles or groups, the ballot may con
tain a dozen entries for each position
without requiring to be of unwieldy
size,
"In this way it Is," remarks Mr. Lusk,
Australian election Is no elaborate
function Involving accusation of business,
with all the objectionable aurroundlnKS o(
idle voters und busy paid ugents of parties
or candidates, whose very existence is a
menace to freedom of choice and purity
of election. Under its operation a single
polling booth can be made euslly to ac
commodate tt.OirU to 111,000 voters between
8 o'clock in the forenoon and 4 o'clock in
tho afternoon, and the result of the vot
liiKt hunks largely to the simple ex
pedient of obliterating instead of marking
names can bo ascertained speedily and
wltn certainty. One thing Indeed the Aus
tralian system does not do it In no way
lends Itself to party or machine polities,
and It Is absolutely opposed to everything
thutcan lendun excuse to the use of money
In connection with elections. So stringent
Indeed, are Its provisions In this respect
that the courts might almost be depended
upon to Invalidate any election where It
was shown that nny subscription for elec
tion expenses had been mude on behalf of
a candidate, or where a candidate himself
could be shown to have puld for anything
except advertising In the newspapers, a
committee room on the day of election,
and a day's wages for one representative
at each polling place. These expenses are
rrcognised by law In Australia, and ail
others are sternly prohibited.
Tho problem of adapting the good
principles of this system to the neces
sarlly different conditions of elections
In America so as to retain Its advan
tages without Incurring its disadvant
ages Is manifestly still unsolved. We
hnve every reason to believe with Mr.
Luslc that no serious attempt has yet
been made by the men who control
American legislation to solve It. They
prefer a hybrid system UVarlng the
magic of the Australian name with
little of its freedom from ring control.
"From Peranton to Canton and re
turn" would muke a first-class cam
paign cry for local Republicans this
week. Scranton can't afford to full be
hind the Cuntonward procession.
The Common Sense Cure.
At Rochester Saturday evening
Frank 8. lilack made another speech,
similar in style though not in matter
to the one with which he opened ihe
Empire state gubernatorial cunvass in
New York a few days ago. Jt was a
speech that abounded in crisp and can
did common sense, uttered without pas
sion and entirely free from per.uiu!I
ties, and what adds to Its merit It the
fact that in print It Is less than a col
umn long. Mr. Iiluck evidently knows
how desirable It Is In a public speaker
to say his say and then stop. The gist
of his remarks is comprised in lh fol
lowing excerpt, which says quite as
much as If It had been Inflated to ten
columns:
I have often heart! tw6 reasons advanced
for trying this dangerous experiment of
free and unlimited coinage of silver. Tho
first reason is that we cannot be worse
off than we are now, nnd the second that
It is easily tried, and It' not successful can
be abandoned.- No greater mistake, could
be made than to suppose that we cannot
injure our present condition. We are not
hulf as poorly off as wc might he. It Is
true, our present situation is not In nil re
spects as we desire, but our prospects
were never better. Our people have seen
the folly of the course pursued In previous
years, and have fully determined to cor
rect it. We have not only halted in our
march In the wrong direction, but we
havo wheeled about and shall certainly
march back and rebuild the fences we
have torn down and reopen the doors we
have unwisely closed. Idleness as a na
tional policy bus been tested to every
body's satisfaction, and nobody any longer
believes In It. Wo have chased the phan
torn of low prices so fur that wo havo lost
sight of the place where we earned our
wages. Hut wo shall go back. The oppor
tunities of the last few years are xone,
hut let no one believe that the Ameri
can people are used up, or that we can
correct the mistake made four years ago
by making another that Is worse now.
Going to work again Is not the only
thing to be considered. We must have our
pay also, and that pay must not only be
the most, but tho best that any country
in the world affords. This country is not
the place for things that are cheap, and
cheap money Is the worst of nil. That
we cumiot be worse off Is a delusion In
which ' no Intelligent person should be
snared. But whatever our condition muy
be. It Is our duty to make It better Instead
of trying experiments which may make
It worse. A man not very sick, getting
worse, has more cause for alarm that a
sicker man getting belter, and I do not
consider him wise who takes expeiimentil
medicine at the critical point of the dls.
ease, especially when he knows the medi
cine hut been tried on others before and
left them crippled, perhaps forever.
The second reason, that free coinage can
he easily tried and If not successful aban
doned, is us fallacious as the first. It Is
much easier to make a mistake than to
abandon It afterward. Getting sick Is
easier than getting well. Breaking your
word Is easier than convincing other peo
ple Hint you will not break It again, and
there Is the same difference between pay
ing 03 cents on the dollar and regaining
tho confidence of the lender when you de
sire to borrow again. The purpose of
free coinage is not only dishonest, but
impossible. You cannot create a valuo
by statute, nor compel tho other nations
of the world to abide by what you declare
to be wine. Integrity is beyond the con
trol of legislatures, and you enn no more
force the people of other countries to ne
cept 33 cents for a dollar that you owe
them than you can force them to
pay 117 cents for a dollar that they
owe you. The result of such an :t'
tempt would not be -to establish an ad
vantage for you In the transaction. It
would he simply to cut off dealings be
tween you nnd utterly to destroy nil con
lldetice, without which no relations of
friendship or respect can be maintained.
This hind of talking Is a common
sense cure for false doctrine.
The spectacle of Sam Hudson run
ning for congress on the Democratic
ticket In the district once represented
by Samuel J. Randall nnd afterward by
Richard Vaux is interesting, to say the
least.
Worrying About Cameron.
Our esteemed contemporary, the
Wilkos-Pnrre Record, has been In
formed "by the very highest Demo
cratic sources" which doubtless means
Johnny Carman that the Democratic
leaders are Inclined to offer to throw
the Democratic vote in the next legis
lature to Senator Cameron provided
he will stand as a candidate for re
election. "That such a scheme Is not nearly so
Impracticable as may appear at first
glance will be seen," says the Record,
"by the following figures: The legis
lature Is composed of 255 members, on
joint ballot. Let us assume that each
house will be composed of two-thirds
Republicans and one-third Democrats
say 171 Republicans and 84 Democrats.
Suppose that Cameron should be able
to command the support of only 45 of
171 Republican senators and represen
tatives, these added to the 84 Demo
crats would give him 129 votes, or a ma
jority of 3."
There are several obstacles to this
project. In the first place 84 votes Is a
large allowance to the minority of the
next legislature on joint ballot. We
doubt If the Democrats will get 64.
Next, It would be Impossible under pre
sent conditions to get enough Repub
lican deserters to patch out a Camer
on majority. Thirdly, Senator Cameron,
unless he is an unconscionable liar, can
not be a candidate for re-election. And
fourth, we have good reason to believe
that the next United States senator
elected from Pennsylvania will be that
admirable Republican and brilliant ex
pounder of Republican principles, Dan
iel Hartmnn Hastings.
Tho habit of worrying about Cam
eron is one that grows on a man, and
therefore ought not to be unneces
sarily encouraged.
In recommending that sound money
Democrats in the Eighth congress dis
trict voto directly for Judge Kirkpat
rlck, the Republican nominee, the Phil
adelphia Record makes the pertinent
point that "throughout the state the
newly converted Popocrats have merci
lessly proscribed every Democrat who
supports the financial policy of a
Democratic administration. Their can
didate for the presidency has pro
claimed that he would never support
any man who stands on a gold plat
form; nnd his followers fully partake of
his spirit. Why, then, should they ex
pect sound money Democrats to for
swear the principles of the Democratic
party and join them in a wild crusade
of repudiation?" Why, Indeed?
"Give us the restoration of the tariff
schedule which will meet the legitimate
necessities of the government and Will
discriminate In the protecting; of Amer
ican Industries and we will hear no
more of the money question. Open our
mills to our workingmen and we will
not hear so much agitation ubottt
opening our mints. With our Ameri
can workingman given an opportunity
to earn a fajr day's wages in currency
of unquestionable stability, we will
her no more talk of the cheap dollar.
With a tariff law equul to the necessi
ties of tho government, we will have
no more deficit in the revenues and no
threatened destruction of the gold reserve."-
Senator Penrose at Pittsburg.
This excellent bit of timely advice is
borrowed from the Run: "Indiana, Il
linois, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Iowa must be made sure of. Let
us beat Repudiation enormously, If we
can, but at nny rate let us be sure that
we beat it. Kverything looks well for
the sound-money men, but the amount
of large prediction now In circulation
scorns to Indicate that some Republi
cans are Inclined to whistle too goon."
There is more danger to MeKlnley from
over-confidence thun from Bryan.
Moreton Frewe, the English bimetal
list, who Is In this country urging
Bryan's election, admits that free coin
age would, be likely to cause a panic,
but he waves that prospect aside as of
little consequence. He can nfTnrd t(;
be indifferent, being an Knglisnmu-i,
but here In America the notion prevails
that we've had of panics quite enough.
In the year 1SH5 tho savings banks
of the country held $l,810,u97,Cl,3 In trust
for 4,875,519 depositors an average of
$371.20 to the credit of each depositor.
Who would be most severely hurt by
the adoption of a 50-cent dollar, the
depositors or the banks?
A net Increase In the public debt for
September amounting to nearly $2,000.

Hnnim, but their effort to excite dis

hope he will.
The Importance of
The Ne Congress
From the Scranton Truth.
While all the political orators and news
papers are directing their arguments to
the presidential election It may be wort!i
while to remember that congress will bo
the pivot of power, und that the ability
to enact tariff and currency laws will rest,
after aHY with the national legislature.
With a sufficient majority to make It In
dependent of the will of tho executive,
congress can pats any law it muy set Its
mind to, while it i not In the power of tho
president to enact a single statute, how
ever anxious he may be to coin cauipulgn
promises Into legislation.
It is evident, therefore, that It Is to
coneress tho poople must look for the
realization of their hopes, and that the
election of congressmen who are known
to be in harmony with the popular will on
the great questions of the day Is of tho
most vital importance. It is particularly
essential and Important that the Industrial
sections of the country stand firm for the
election of representatives who will stead
fastly support the doctrines of Protection
and sound money. No false sentiment
should tempt wage-earners or business
men to squander votes on candidates who
are committed to the ignis fatuua oT free
silver, or the ruinous policy of free trade.
If the free coinage crusade carried with
It a guuruiitee that all wuges would be
doubled Just as soon as the country went
to a silver basis there might be some
plausible excuse for asking the tolling
masses to vote for the ul-cent dollar; but
In the absence of such a guarantee we
fall to see how any silver orator or organ
ean consistently ask the breadwinner to
vote for a money standard which will In.
ereuBe the cost of living without carrying
with it a corresponding increase In wuges
or opportunity for Investment.
This congressional district ow es Its prog
ress and prosperity to the Industrial pol
icy of Protection. Various futile efforts
have been made by theorists and others
unfamiliar with the facts to deny this
proposition, but It cannot-be contradicted.
Four years ago an ingenious web of so
phistries was spun to convince the un
thinking that free trude was the great
panacea for ull our national shortcomings,
but the lesson learned on that occasion
should be sulllcient to demonstrate the In
jurious nature of that destructive doc
trine and convince the people that they
want no more of it.
Tho candidacy of William Connell for
congress furnishes all who believe In Pro
tection and sound money an opportunity
to vote for a man who Is In thorough har
mony with the Interests and traditions of
this valley. Ills election will give this dis
trict a representative at Washington
whose views nre entirely in accord with
the best sentiment of the country, and
the substantial welfare of this region. If
the next congress should have a majority
of men like William Connell the business
Interests of :he country. In which we are
all concerned, would be well cared for and
common sense could count on a victory
at every roll-call.
With a president and congress favorable
t Protection, and sound money, this
country would soon be In the enjoyment
of a substantial era of prosperity, and
such a result Is well worth working for,
THE MAN I'Oll CON'UKESS.
From the Provldenc Register.
When the Republicans of Lackawanna
county named William Connell as their
candidate for congress they named one
whom all tho people can rally to, and In
whose election every citizen would feel
Just pride. As the party candidate he de
serves every vote In the party, and It
goes without saying thnt many hundreds
from the ranks of the opposing party will
help In making his majority an over
whelming one. It is unnecessary here to
reiterate all that has heretofore been said
concerning the personality and the fitness
of Mr. Connell for this Important office.
These are so well known and appreciated
that It would be but a mere repetition cf
words. On the principles of the party,
Mr. Connell stunds solid ae rock, and Is
uncompromisingly for every declaration
of Republicanism that means a grander
country and people and by which the hap
piness and comfort of all are to be at
tained. He does not deviate one lota from
the sound money standard, und on the
Protection of American Industries he Is
so deeply impressed by his own experi
ences In manufacturing thnt there is no
questioning his position will be only that
which means industrial progress and the
best of wages and the most comfortable
homes for the people of the United States.
Mr. Connell has for so many years been
engaged In the commercial life of the
state of Pennsylvania that his name has
gone forth as a most worthy citizen one
whom any community could well delight
to honor. This coming election, then, Is
the opportunity for the people of Laeka
wanna county to return In feeble measure
all that he has done for them. That they
will thoughtfully and earnestly do so is
not to be doubted.

POINTEDLY EXPOSED.
From the Industrial News.
At present a silver mine owner can pay
only t!5 cents of a debt with one ounce of
silver. Under free coinage he oould pay
Jl.Zt of debt with an ounce of silver. At
present an ounce of silver will pay only
ti.1 cents in wages. Under free coinage an
ounce of silver would pay l.i! In wages.
The difference, 04 cents an ounce, would
be clear gain to the mine owner; In the
first Instance at the expense of his credit,
ors. In the second at the expense of the
men who do the actual work of mining his
product. It is not asserted by the most
hopeful free sllverlto that wages would
rise as rapidly as tho cost of living. All
history prows to the contrary, that wages,
In periods of Inflation or depreciation,
rise slowly, if at all, while the cost of the
nccessurles of life rises with a bound.
Under free coinage history would only re.
peat Itself. 1'rlees would be Increased
only by the same slow and tedious process
by which they have been raised In the
past. All the battles for higher wages by
which workingmen have benefited in the
last forty years would have to be fought
over again.
