DUtrict JOHN F. REYNOLDS.
Just four weeks from today The
Trlliuno. nr-cor-llns to Its well estab
lished custom, will give the most ac
curate and comprehensive returns of
the presidential election which will ap
pear In Northeastern Pennsylvania. It
will Elve the news, and all the news,
be the outcome good, bad or middling.
In the Fourth Legislative District.
Very much the same considerations
prevail In Carbondale with reference to
next state legislature as obtain In the
the election of a representative In tho
Second district which includes a con
siderable portion of the city of Scran
ton. Carliondalt has a miners' hospi
tal which requires state aid; and It also
has other Interests that necessitate
constant watchfulness on the part of
the member from the Fourth.
Does It look reasonable that a Demo-
I crat could at Harrishurg exert the
same inlluence In committee room, on
the floor of the house. In caucus where
legislative policies are considered, or
among the various departments that
would be wielded by a bright young
Republican like Mr. Reynolds, In touch
with the majority and politically well
fitted to utilize the resources of diplo
macy in behalf of measures particu
larly affecting his constituents? We
do not have the pleasure of an ac
quaintance with Mr. Reynolds' oppo
nent, but wr venture to say that even
Mr. Fadden would bo forced, after a
visit to f larrlsburg during a legislative
session, to concede the disadvantages
In the way of a new member belonging
to the minority party. It Is simply Im
possible for a Democrat to do as effec
tive service during his first term in
the legislature as can be done by a Re
publican of equal ability; and the dis
trict which thinks otherwise makes a
mistake.
The people of the Fourth district two
years ago tried the experiment of elect
ing a bright young Republican Instead
of a Democrat, and It worked admir
ably. Circumstances of a business na
ture having prevented Representative
O'Malley from accepting a re-nomination,
there lias been nominated In his
stead a young man In all respects his
equal; and we ask the voters of the
district, without regard to party affil
iations, to consider whether it would
pay them to run the risk (which the
election of Mr. Fadden would Involve)
of having their representative take
what politically might be called "a
back seat" at Ilairlsburg next winter.
Some Republican contemporaries In
New York are beginning to claim for
the Empire state the honor of casting
the banner plurality for McKlnley. On
behalf of Pennsylvania we beg to in
form them that this honor Is already
pre-empted.
Plotting to Capture Congress.
It Is believed by those who have been
In close watch upon the managers of
Mr. Bryan's canvass that the real rea
son why the Popocratlc candidate has
been permitted to make repeated Invas
ions of the "enemy's country" where
even he must know that he stands no
chance of gaining an electoral vote Is
because of a desire to divert Republican
attention while the free sllverltes try
on the quiet to capture the next con
gress. . Their plan from the first has
. been to sacrifice Bryan If thereby they
could get a fresh grip on the legislative
branch of the general government.
They argue that with a majority In con
gress favorable to free coinage McKIn
ley'a election would still leave the silver
cause in a position to dictate terms.
They no longer expect to force an un
limited free coinage bill through but
they believe that appropriations and
confirmations could be bo held up If nec
essary that President McKlnley would
be glad to purchase peace by assenting
to a limited coinage of silver, perhaps
on the linos of the Sherman act of 1H80.
The talk of an empty treasury which
Is so conspicuous at Democratic head
quarters Is true only In a sense.
The Popocratlc treasury Is empty
In response to miscellaneous) de
mands from states that under no
possibility could be carried for Bryan.
But there Is reason to believe that there
are funds In abundance to aid "still
hunt" campaigns for free silver In con
gress districts where It Is deemed pos
sible by secret dicker and fusion to cap
ture congressmen. While Bryan con
tinues his steeplechase tour of person
al exhibition before noisy thousands,
the wool of rich Bllver mine-owners is
looking carefully over the congression
al situation and deciding by. means of
ecret agents where It Is advisable to
disburse corruption funds. Of this there
' can be but little doubt. While it Is not
ausceptlble of direct proof, It accords
fully with the object of the Popocratlc
canvass, which Is to secure at any cost
a government market at an inflated
price for the output of western mines.
In soma instances this adroit plan
may succeed, but it can only do so
through the indifference or overconfi
dent: of the sound money forces. In
Pennsylvania, for example, it ought to
be possible for the opponents of free
trade and repudiation by cordial co
operation and earnest organization to
secure the election of a solid congress
ional delegation of 33 members pledged
to sustain the Integrity of the currency.
The only thing which can defeat this
consummation is the spread .of a feel
ing between now and Nov. 3 that the
battle for AicKinley is already as good
as won. and that further activity to
ward his election and toward the elec
tion of Republican congressmen would
be superfluous. Such a feeling would
hold out to the silver trust just the
opportunity that its managers and
secret agents have been looking for.
and they would be quick to take ad
vantage of It.
Wi' do not wish to throw cold water
on Republican cnthuslusm by calling
attention to the need of continuous and
Increasing work. We simply wish to put
friends of Protection and sound money
on their guard.
(leneral Harrison's speech at Rich
mond did not appeal to the rabbi.' as
Bryan's did; but it will bear analysis,
which Bryan's won't.
The Law as to a Legal Tender.
The Albany Law Journal for Oct. 3
contains a paper by Jamos J. II. Ham
ilton, of this city, touching legal tender
acts and the gold clause In contracts
which is of Interest to laymen as well
as to lawyers, especially in view of the
fact that a political party is battling
this year to make 53 cents' worth of
silver bullion plus a government stamp
full legal tender for one dollar's worth
of debt, and to prevent the stipulation
In a money contract that It shall be
paid In a particular kind of coin, as for
Instance gold. The points considered
by Mr. Hamilton are: What would be
the effect of a free silver triumph upon
contracts? Could a creditor be com
pelled to receive payment of his claim
In depreciated silver whether he would
or not? Could he stipulate in his con
tract for payment In gold Irrespective
of. a federal statute making silver full
legal tender?
In passing It may be observed thnt
gold coin today Is not legal tender at
Its face, but only at Its market value.
If a gold coin bp abraded. It will pay
only Its weight's worth of debt. On the
other hand, our greenbacks, having no
market value, are legal tender at their
face; and our subsidiary silver, being
worth less as bullion than as coin, is
by law made a legal tender within lim
ited amount ($5). The object of such
a statutory bolster to Inferior money
Is apparent from the fact that without
It creditors would not take it In pay
ment of debts when by rontract they
could demand bullion value.
The principal decision quoted by Mr.
Hamilton as bearing upon the forego
ing points occurred In connection with
the act of congress of Feb. 25, 1SC2, de
claring that "United States notes (com
monly called greenbacks) shall be luw
ful money, and a legal tender In pay
ment of all debtH, public and private,
within the United States, except for
duties on imports and Interest on the
public debt." In Interpreting this act
the Supreme court held that It had no
application to contracts payable by
their express terms In gold or silver
coins or specie, no matter whether such
contracts were entered Into before Its
passage or after; and that a tender
of greenbacks is not sufficient to dis
charge such contract. It was also held
that In nil contracts entered Into be
fore tho passage of the act there was
the Implied condition of payment In
gold or its equivalent and that, there
fore, the legal tender act had no effect
upon contracts executed before its pas
sage. The right to expressly contract
for payment In specie or its equivalent
Is thus fully affirmed by the highest
court. Other decisions of similar tenor
are cited by Mr. Hamilton to the num
ber of twenty-five or thirty.
In conclusion, then, as Mr. Hamilton
points out:
tinder the decisions of the court of last re
sort. In spite of the repeal of any proviso
contained in the statutes, legal tender Imva
cunnot prevent contractural stipulations
for payment In gold, or in any other des
ignated form of legal tender, nor the en
forcement of such stipulation; and It is
more than doubtful whether it lies within
the sower of congress to forbid or pre
vent such stipulations. To hold that it
can, will require another reversal of the
uniform and unbroken line of decisions
of the most Illustrious court on earth.
Hut should this come about, what then?
Even in such a case there Is a remedy.
Leifnl tender laws cannot Increase the
purchasing power of niuni, nor compel
a. man to sell his property for a depre
ciated currency, or to give something for
nothing, or to take in exehaiiga for his
wheat, his coal, his ores or his merchan
dise, something which he dacs not want
and is not willing to accept. They may,
however, put a sprag in the spokes of
icammwe, stop business transantlons,
and abolish credit, by compelling every
man to require payment in gold or its
equivalent when the goods are sold, it
Is beyond the power of legislatures to
make contracts for men, or to substitute
different contracts for those which they
have mude. If I buy horses, no legislative
uet can compel me to take cows instead;
and If I contract for l.tNMj bushels of wheat,
I cannot be required by statute to be sat
islled with receiving l.ltail bushels of outs,
(Jold and silver uro commodities, and are
bought and sold as other rummoditk-s.
Unless the government should assume n
monopoly of dealing In these metals (an I
It will hardly be claimed tha It has the
constitutional power to do this), no one
can be prevented from contracting for the
purchase of gold; und when he has con.
traded for Its purchase, he Is entitled
to damages for a breach of a contract
Just as he is In tho case of the brench of
a contract for the purchase of any other
commodity. His contract In this casu
would not call for current coin, and, there
fore, could not be sutislled by a tender of
silver or greenbacks, anil would not come
within the purview of the legnl tender 1'e
clslous. In such case, however, both the
logic of the situation and the law of the
eap would prevent the entering c.f a judg
ment payable In gold; hut the judgment
entered would be a' general motley Judg
ment for the damages the contra"tini
party has suffered by the breath of the
contract: and the measure of these dam
ages would ho the value of the gold ct
the time of the brouch, calculated In leiral
tender. ,
In other words, even free eclnaso
would not put tho creditor at tho
debtor's mercy; the most It could do
would be to upset present forms of bus
iness and cause a wholesale readjust
ment. There would still be no way out
for the man who wanted to escape
from an honest performance of his con
tract obligations. '
In his speech at St. Louis last' Sat
urday night Mr. Bryan said he watt
"born after the war." A correspond
ent living In Hyde Park raises the
juint that If Mr. Bryan spoke, the truth
he is net eligible to the office of presi
dent. It Is thlrty-flve years since the
war began, and If Mr. Bryan was born
since the war he cannot be thlrty-flve
years of age, which is the minimum
age requirement under the constitu
tion. But we suppose thnt remark was
merely a slip of the tongue. The biog
raphies locate the date of Bryan's birth
in 1S60.
Mr. Sewall denies that he put $20,000
Into the Popocratlc campaign fund. No
wonder he is so unpopular.
An International Saprems Court.
Those who consider as Utopian the
proposition to establish an Interna
tional court of arbitration for the
bloodless settlement of disputes be
tween nations' may be surprised to
know how feasible a plan has been out
lined by a sub-committee of the New
York Bar association for the organisa
tion of such a tribunal. It suggests:
A court of nine members, one eurh
from nine independent states or na
tions, ench to be chosen from the be.ich
of the highest court In that nation by
it majority vote of biM associate judges
nnd each to hold office during life or
during the will of the court selecting
him; such court to make Its own rub.-.-,
of procedure, fix Its place and length of
sessions and nettle all points at istue
by a majority vote. ITa h nation re
presented in the court shall nay th-,
snlnry and expenses of Its own repre
sentative and attaches, selected from
Its citizens, and tho nation at whose
capital the court shall hold its sessions,
for the time being, shall provide a place
for its sessions, Im-al court utt.'iKUiiiyi
and meet other necessary local expen
ses. Controverted questions arising be
tween any two or more Independent
powers, whether represented In said
"International Court of Arbitration" or
not, may be submitted by treaty be
tween said powers to said court, pro
viding only that said treaty shall con
tain a stipulation to the effect that all
parties thereto shall respect and abldo
by the rules and regulations of said
court, and conform to whatever deter
mination It shall make of such con
troversy. Said court shall be opfti at.
nil times for the filing of cases and
counter-cases under treaty stipulations
by any nation, whether represented In
the court or not, and such orderly pro
ceeding in the Interim between sessions
of the court, In preparation for argu
ment and submission of the controver
sy, as may seem necessary, may be
taken as the rules of the court provide
for and 03 may be ngreed upon between
the litigants, and said court shall con
vene on call duly made by Its presiding
Judge for the time being, for the pur
pose of trial, submission of argument
and disposition of the controversy, as
provided by the treaty stipulations be
tween the litigant nations. Independ
ent powers not represented In said
court, but which have become parties
litigant In a controversy before It, and,
by treaty stipulation, have agreed to
submit to Its adjudication, shall com
ply with the rules of the court, and
shall contribute such stipulated amount
to its expenses as may be provided for
by its rules or determined by the court.
In what detail Is such a plan of or
ganization defective or Inexpedient, as
suming that the civilised nations of
Christendom, In this noon-time period
of human enlightenment, are willing,
ns nations, to submit their disputes to
the same form of adjudication which
they require among those of their in
dividual citizens who disagree? No
nation will permit Its citizens to try
points at Issue by brute force if they
can prevent it. Why should not the
same rule of orderly rather than dis
orderly arbitrament be Insisted upon
for nations as well as for Individuals?
What Is there Utopian about It? And
If civilization cannot Improve upon
savage practices, what Is civilization
worth?
The coming visit of 500 ex-Confederate
soldiers to Canton is another grace
ful recognition of the fact that the war
Is over.
In the Interest of Harmony.
A new turn has been taken by the
shrievalty fight In Philadelphia through
the appearance of nn open letter ad
dressed to both candidates, Messrs.
Miles and Crow, urging them in the In
terest of party harmony and especially
In the Interest of the Republican na
tional ticket which must Inevitably
suffer If the present factional warfare
shall be continued until eleotlon day,
to retire and make way for the nomi
nation of an acceptable third man,
such for instance as any one of the fol
lowing six gentlemen: C. Stuart Pat
terson, William H. Lnmbert. Robert K.
Beath, J. Levering Jones, John Field
and William Wood. The letter bears
the signatures of some of the Quaker
City's foremost citizens, among them
being those of Samuel R. Khlpley, John
H. Converse, Kllhifiluim B. Morris.
Robert C. Ogden, Clement A. Orlscom,
Theodore Justice, William Pepper, J.
C. Straw-bridge and H. L. Carson; and
It undoubtedly represents the senti
ments of the conservative business ele
ment of the city, which has become
aweary of the Incessant scrapping of
the factions.
Undoubtedly the Crow forces will
herald this letter as a symptom of Com
bine fright and will scorn to pay atten
tion to Its moderate and conservative
advice. Mr. Crow himself 1s quoted in
the papers as saying that ho does not
feel at liberty to respond to a request
for his retirement from tho race with
out first receiving t!:e consent of the
20.00) citizens who In public mass
meeting urged hi:n to run. This Is an
euphonious way of saying that he con
siders himself Invincible and that he
docs not propose to let the Interests of
the party tuke precedence over his per
sonal desire to be sheriff of Philadel
phia. But can his candidacy bear up
under such n construction of Its ani
mating motive? Is Mr. Crow's personal
ambition of sufficient Importance to the
Republicans of Philadelphia to warrant
them In jeoparding the Interests of tho
national ticket In order to gratify his
hankering after a "scrap?"
This wrangle Is no concern of our's
further than tho bad Influence which
It will exert upon trie Republican party
generally. It has already done harm,
and If persisted In will do more harm.
For tliat reason we think the Republi
can press throughout the state ought to
urge In behalf of party harmony that
It be brought to an end, at least for this
year, by means of an honorable com
promise or a truce.

One Example of
Free Trade's Work
From the TImcs-IIerald.
Vny (,-w people had any adequate con
ception of .the magnitude of the wool in
dustry under I'.w easterns law of 1S':o.
Iheie were "OO.eiO people whose principal
Industry was that of growing wool. There
were proluV.y IPjituj more who were
cwr.i-ra of tniall ticks of. sheep In tho
United Htatcs. It Is estimated thnt this
Industry employed, b. ji jes the owners of
Hocks, nt K:-st half a million laborers.
According to the industrial n n'ua of ls'JO
there were I.t.'.t establishment engaged In
the manufacture of wool n and worried
goods, employing l-'i,R44 persons, U whom
were paid In wnges JtS'.'.&TT.lOl, th? value of
the product of these mills being estimated
at W.i.iil'.J'j. The WUjon-llntir.an law re
duced the tariff on wcoleti gnoda and
.vorr'eds thivi'-ff .lis and placed raw
wool on the free list.
' -o
From 18, when ihc Mr-Klnl-y tariff
took (Il'eet, until IS'.iii. under the Wllson
(iorrnan tariff, the pi lew of wool, a shown
by the statistical abstract of the United
States declined ivariy 5l per cent. Fine
wool which brouxivl It! cents kt pound In
lsini brought only 17' cents In January,
lSW; medium wool Tell from 37 cents to lia
cents, and con rue wool from 111 cents to IS
cents per pound. The MeKlnb-y tariff had
the effect to cheek the declln.; In the
price of wool In the United States, caused
by enormous production In other court,
tiles, us compared with the decline else
where. It idd this by checking the im
portation of woolen goods manufactured
abroad. The Importations of wool have
bten as follows: 13H1, tW.:i17.571 pound;
In S92, 17.7H4.IWI pounds; In 1KH.1, lll,7'.2,i:;iS
pound; In IS'.il, 1I5.7XS.S2i pound;', an aver
age of l."3,(il7,S12 pounds per year under
protection. In 1HD5 under free trade the
Importations were StS.Siy.t.jn pounds, valued
at JJ1.770.1.MI, which Is $li;.!!K,.'iS:t more than
the average value under protection. This
Jl'j.HlS.SSli represents the amount which the
Wilson law took from the pockeH of the
American rheep growers in one year. The
Imports of woolen cloths alone Increased
from $,104,7!i:t In 1894 to JcrOd.GHS In 1SK.
The imports of dress goods Increased from
)7.54.U2 In 1X114 to t22.ri49.485 III 1S9.5. Dur
ing the fl ret nine months of the present
fiscal year Importations of woolen goods
Increased at such a rapid rate that It was
estimated the value of thsse Imortations
for the twelve months ending June Srt,
189ii, must have reached the sum of $.17.

The reports of the department of agricul
ture at Washington show that there were
47.273.1XH) sheep In the United Stales In ISW
valmd at tli.l.M.OUO. On the 1st of Jan
uary, ISM, there were 33,2!5.O0O sheep In the
United Stales valued at tiU.0UO.lKu, a de
crease of t.MK,M in the number of sheep
and of ttHMKHQUV in value. These fluurea
furnish an Idea of the loss to American
wool growers and manufacturers of wool
en goods under the Wilson tariff law. The
excess of Imports of raw wool and of wool
represented In its manufactures, compar
ing the last year of the .McKlnley law and
the first year under the Wilson-Oorman
tariff amounted In round numbers to the
enormous quantity of 3:!,'tij,,ui:o pounds.
The question is between the home supply
and the Torelxn supply of the home de
mand 'for woolen goods. Th wool grow
ers nnd the manufacturers will decide In
November who shall supply this demand.
