The Visit to Canton.
That more persons did not bo from
this city to Canton on Saturday wus
due, not to lack or disposition hut to
lack of menns. Had the MeKlnley bill
not been repealed; that Is to say, had
the woolen mills, the steel mills, the
Klass works and the miscellaneous in
(ltirtrlcR of Lackawannu county not
been deprived arter the Democratic vic
tory four years apo of the protection
nml the markets which before that free
trade sweep were rapidly making them
prosperous, there would have been
among the worklngmen of our valley a
readier Inclination to spare ten or fif
teen dollars for an excursion or such
n character. As it was, Democratic su
premacy put It out or their reach, but
not out of their thoughts. Three weeks
from tomorrow they will tell what they
think or the tariff reformers like Mr.
Ilryan who tinkered them Into idieness,
partial time or reduced pay.
Those who did bo and from the two
counties there were more than 300, with
not a capitalist nor a prominent poli
tician among them were repaid by an
enjoyable journey of exceptional scenic
beauty In places and by a reception at
Canton which may well be treasured
p.niong their most pleasant recollec
tions. In another place we give in full
tiie rellcitous little speech with which
Major McKinley acknowledged the
party's greeting. It Is neat and apt In
Itseir, but It gains In significance from
the fact that it was only one of twenty
addresses made by the candidate on
that one day, with never a repetition of
a phrase or a thought. The visitors
welcomed by him on that day num
bered altogether quite as many as the
inhabitants or the whole or Hyde Park,
yet they came rrom a dozen different
Ftates and from a score of different
places in parties seldom larger than the
one which went from here; and oame,
as did the Pennsylvanlans, at their own
expense.
Altogether it was a magnificent dem
onstration or popular enthusiasm in a
cause which appeals to lorty citizen
ship, and a fitting tribute to a leader
who commands the fullest measure of
his countrymen's esteem.
Now that Wllkes-Barre has secured
the next state firemen's convention, the
question before the house Is, What Will
she do with it? Where will she find
hotel accommodations for the dele
gates? Fortunately, Scranton is near.
Straight to the Mark.
Tn his speech at Syracuse last week
Frank S. Black, the Republican candi
date ror governor of New York, gave
another Illustration of his aptness at
compacting sound sense Into luminous
English. The speech altogether com
prised scarcely 1,000 words, but It cov
ered and clarified the whole situation.
We invite attention to this quotation:
"The stability of a government de
pends upon many things, but upon none
more than upon the respect which t
commands from the other governments
of the world. Wealth may build navies
and fortifications may repel assaults
from without, but a nation that has
permitted Its honor to be defaced, no
matter what may be its physical re
sources.cannot long withstand the force
of public condemnation. The individual
who relies upon his money to condone
offenses against the laws of Integrity
and decent living does not possess a
keen sense of honor himself nor under
stand the force of It In others, and a
nation with the same reliance is in the
same class. Men sometimes find in there
private affairs that the course which
has led to poverty, misfortune or dis
grace might at some early stage have
. been changed and the disastrous conse
quences averted, and governments are
like men In that respect.
"The government of the United
Btates has found in its career on more
than one occasion that a prompt recog
nition of the moral sense of Its people
and a Just observance of the oaths of
those entrusted with the highest public
duties mlifbt have averted disasters
which have left their marks upon the
history of the whole earth. Weakness
will never prevent a wrong, and danger
Is more likely, to overtake those who
hide than those, who face It. flo his
torian will ever "tell the evils that
coumii In public atatlon might hav
averted Just before the war, and tho
heroic deeds of soldiers will never
cease to tell of the disasters which the
cowardice of that period entailed. A
crisis hardly less serious faces us now.
The loss of life and property is no more
to be deplored than the loss of honor.
And when honor Is to be sacrificed, not
by momentary lapse of conscience, but
by deliberate outrage, the situation may
well provoke alarm.
"We stand now In that precise posi
tion. The forces that are threatening
the Integrity of this country are those
which have no proper place upon our
soil. They are the forces of disorder
and strife. Their success means to par
alyze or destroy necessary executive
powers, to degrade the courts, which
are the chief support of governments,
and to inflict a stain upon the nation's
credit which will take years to live
down. In these calamities every citizen
would be Involved, and to those whose
acts had made them possible forgive
ness would be slow In coming. This Is a
country of law and order and of that
high civilization based upon them, and
no symptom or anarchy should be left
unchecked. Let every man arouse
himself, and remember that the duty
which he owes his government and his
rellow men is this year grave and im
perative. Let him not be misled by raise
hopes of gain. Gains that come
through the sacrifice of honor are not
to be hoped for but dreaded. And an
advantage, however great, reached
through an alliance with forces that are
a menare to good government, will
prove some time to have been dearly
bought."
The city of Chicago averages about
30 murders a year and the hangman is
kept busy disposing of the murderers,
yet the number of homicidal crimes
uteadlly Increases. Is the death pennl
ty of nny real value as a deterrent?
The Labor Vote.
One of the arguments put forth by
advocates of the Chicago platform in
support of their prediction that Bryan
will win, Is that large numbers of work
Ingmcn, while pretending to be.for Mc
Kinley and Joining sound money clubs,
will. In the privacy of the voting booth,
mark their ballots for free Bilver. This
Idea has been so industriously circulat
ed that many persons have come to be
lieve it. We notice, for instance, In tho
Toronto Globe, in an article upon the
American presidential contest, the fol
lowing assertions bearing directly upon
this point: ,
The leading American newspapers have
been spreading the belief that the strength
of .McKinley and Huburt is overwhelming
and tlmt their success is already iismired.
That Is the appearance on the surface In
all the lilg American cities, nniolig the
employes of all great corporations, includ
ing the wealthy newspapers, and wher
ever Inquirers naturally turn for political
Information.' Hut the one reliable source
of information regarding the views of the
American workmen is closed by the court-ton,
bordering on terrorism, practiced
or feared In all big employing lirms and
ccirpuratlons. .Men who have mingled
freely with American workmen In and out
of their unions know how unreliable are
the surface indications of the political
situation. Railroad, telegraph and line
steamboat employes are afraid to discuss
the free coinage Issue, except to advance
views in favor of McKinley and Hobart.
The least Intimation from employers that
a deputation of workmen should go some,
where to protest against free coinage
sends the deputation forth at once, al
though every member of It be a convert
to the mistaken philosophy of Mr, Ilryan.
An olllerr on one of tho line steamers run
ning out of Chicago wus recently paid off
at the end of a trip, and no effort was
made to conceal the fact that the cause
was his theorizing on the 1C to 1 question.
Such things us this, coupled with the
pressure of hard times, cause Workmen
to concenl and falsify their political views
and to dread coercion even where It is not
intended. Street railway and other great
corporations give their workmen campaign
pictures of McKinley and Hobart, with u
request to display them In the windows
of their homes. These requests are im
plicitly obeyed, though the men be de
termined to vote for free silver, and to
pay their employers back.
We have no means or knowing wheth
er or not the caseof thesteamshlp officer
cited above Is correctly reported by the
Toronto Journal. We only know that an
investigation of similar charges of co
ercion In this community has yet to
find foundation for a single accusation
of this character. A moment's reflection
ought to convince the most skeptical
that any attempt by employers to in
timidate .their employes in the matter
of voting would under the Australian
secret ballot, be as ineffectual as it
would be dangerous; and employers as
a rule have too much common sense to
attempt a policy which would clearly
do more harm 'than good. We therefore
dismiss as unfounded all talk of coer
cion or or threatened discharge from
employment as a penalty for disregard
ing an employer's wishes.
Hut look for a moment at the light in
which this kind of representation places
the workingman. It virtually charges
him with the worst species or deceit
rulness and intimates that he has rallen
so low In manhood as to prefer to prac
tice dissimulation and to lend himself
to deliberate falsification In order to
gain a privilegewhichlsalreadyguaran.
tee d to him under the constitution. We
should greatly dislike to think that the
picture or the labor vote which Is
drawn by the prophets or Popocratic
victory is true In any particular. The
country could much better afford to see
McKinley dtfeated, not B'.mply once but
a dozen times, than to have to conclude
that the great body of its artisans and
mechanics and of its miscellaneous
workers by hand had ceased to regard
honesty as worthy of their esteem.
For our. part we shall refuse to be
lieve these representations. We may be
Tooled. The uncertain factors in thla
year's election are many and we do
not underestimate them. But to sus
pect the American workingman of an
utter lack of principle is something thut
we shall never do, be the election re
turns what they may.
The Tribune has received several
communications from residents or New
ton and South Abtngton townships
complaining of the poor condition of the
Providence and North Abington turn
pike and also at the high tolls charged.
These communications urge the con
struction by populur subscription of a
new road on the southwest side of tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, which it is claimed would
shorten the distance to Scranton, avcld
two steep hills and do away with the
toll feature. It la evident that this turn
pike question in some form Is bound
to prove a disturbing factor so long as
tolls, are .charged. The toll road Is
clearly becoming obsolete. It served a
good purpose In Its day but people no
I longer ear to leave the owners hip of
arterial roadways in private or corpor
ate hands. The natural solution to the
present problem sooner or later will bi
a free road. Perhaps the sooner thu
better.
It cannot be questioned that the culm
problem has already shown Its atlllty
to produce a great deal of gas of one
kind and another. Wo sincerely trust
that the latest kind will be a go.
The Pulpit and Politics.
To what extent may the pulpit with
out impropriety discuss politics? To
this question no definite answer can be
returned, since each minister must in
the nature of tho case be the best Judge
of his own duty. But at this time,
when political discussion from pulpits
is growing more frequent, we are
moved to quote with approval and sym
pathy tho following words spoken re
cently by Rev. Victor E. Southworth, a
clergyman of Janesvllle, Wis.:
For the minister to seem to appear as a
pailisun in politics, defending the policy
of one party and denouncing another, is
essentially pernicious In Its effects upon
the church and upon tho world outside 'he
church. It Is demoralizing. It renders
doubly bitter the bitterness which already
alienates man from man and cIbrs from
class. We cannot huve partisan m'uisters
preaching partisan sermons, unless w3
huve partisan churches supported by par
tisan funds. How absif J to expect Ke
puhllcan churchmen u pay liberally for
the support of unti-Kepublican preaching,
or Democratic churchmen to support lib
erally anti-Democratic preaching! Tho
function of the pulpit Is not partisan In
struction. The minister, as such, is a
moral teacher, a spiritual leader. His dis
tinctive work is to lift and lighten tho
moral and religious life of all the people
without distinction as to party or class.
Ho ought to lift their thoughts and de
sires to such a lofty plane as to put be
neath them the animosities and jealous
ies of sectional, selllsh und partlsun in
terests. That the present campaign has been
lifted by action of one of the great par
ties out rrom the domain of strictly
partisan differences and up to a plane
Involving the essentially moral issues
of law against lawlessness and of an
honest adherence to contract stipula
tions against partial repudiation Is am
ple Justification for the course of those
moral teachers among the clergy who
have relt It to be part or their duty to
preach the gospel in application to the
living present as well as In rererence to
a dim and uncertain past. There are
many ways, however, of performing a
duty; and tho prudent preacher, while
he may fearlessly combat ignorance
and error, will not forget that the
model Preacher, under extremest pro
vocation, never once descended to per
suuut excoriation or angry speech.
Unquestionably the removal of Bishop
Keane from the rectorship of the Catho
lic university at Washington betokens
a victory ror tho ultra-Conservative
party In American Catholicism, . at
whose hea'd stands Archbishop Corrl
gan; and a dereat ror the party repre
sented by Cardinal Gibbons and Arch
biHhop Ireland. It will probably have
tho effect to stimulate the opponents
of Catholicism and to postpone for some
years the success of the movement
whose purpose has been broadly de
scribed as the nationalization of the
church in America. We do not know
how this affair impresses members of
that church; but from an outside stand
point it has the look of a mistake.
A man by the name of George has
Just come to grler In Chicago through
the Improper use of the malls for the
purpose of catching gullible heirs to
mythical estates. His plan was to
notify his victims that they had inher
ited pnrt of a $1,500,000 fortune in
Guatemala, and then to solicit a slight
advance for the payment of his ex
penses in proving the titles. The list
of expectants who forwarded hard
earned cash never to henr from him
again Is a long one and a sorrowful
one In Its demonstration of undimin
ished human credulity. But It is some
consolation to know that the swindler
has been nrrested, and that Uncle Sam
Is not In the habit of dealing leniently
.with offenders of his class.
If the English Liberal party wants a
leader who t an lead, it will try its level
best to induce Mr. Gladstone to get
back Into public life. He is still young
enough to run away with the young
sters who are rattling around In his
shoes.
Nearly $30,000,000 in gold has come to
rfcis country rrom abroad since it be
came plait that Tree coinage could not
win. There Is nothing equal to the
prospect or a Republican victory as a
confidence restorer.
HUMILITY'S PRAYER.
I crave, dear Lord,
No boundless hoard
Of gold and gear,
Nor jewels line.
Nor lands, nor klne.
Nor treasure heaps of anything
Let but a little hut be mine,
Where at the hearthstone I may hear
The cricket sing.
And have the shine
Of one glad woman's eyes to make,
For my poor sake,
Our simple home a place divine.
Just the wee cot the cricket's chirr
Love, and the smiling face of her.
I pray not for
Great riches, nor
For vast estates, and castle halls
Give me to hear the bare footfalls
Of children o'er
An oaken floor.
New-rinsed with sunshine, or' bespread
With but the tiny coverlet
And pillow for the baby's head;
And pray thou, may
The door stand open, and the day
Send ever In a gentle breeze
With fragrance from t lie locust trees,
And drowsy moan of doves and blur
Of robin chirps and drone of bees,
Of Intermingling Bounds, and then
The good wife and the smile of her
Filling the s!ence again
The cricket's call
And the wee cot,
Dear Lord of all,
Deny me not! '
I pray not that 1
Men tremble nt
My power of place
And lordly sway
I only pray for simple grace'
To look my neighbor In the face
Full honestly from day to day;
Yield mc his horny palm to hold
And I'll not pray
For gold-
The tanned face, garlanded with mirth,
It hath the klnglleM smile on earth
The swart brow, diamonded with sweat,
Hath never need of coronet,
.And so I reach,
m. Dear Lord, to thee,
And do beseech
- Thou glveit me
Tho wee cot, and the crlcket'u ohlrr.
Love, and the glad sweet fact of her!
James Whltcomb Riley.
What Blaine Wrote
ilbolil M'KiDlcy
The attempts of Mr. Bryan, Senator Tel.
ler and others on the free silver side to
make It appear by garbled quotations
that James O. Blaine wu In sympathy
with their present position elicits the fol
lowing remark from Louis A. Dent, who
was Mr. Blaine's private secretary for
many years: VMr. Blaine's position on
the monetary question is, without any ex
planation from his friends, plainly de-ducl-ble
from his public policies and his
speeches and votes In congress. In De
cember, 1867, and again In 1876. he made
vigorous speeches against the proposi
tions then afloat in favor of greenback and
silver Inflation, and his vote against the
Bland bill should toe conclusive on this
point. But evidence of later years Is still
more convincing.
"Mr. Blaine believed that the gold sup
ply would fall to answer the needs of tha
world's coinage, and he was therefore in
favor of Introducing the double standard
by international agreement, and for that
purpose he maintained an agent In K'.irope
during his last term as secretary whose
business It wat to encourage, foster and
watch, the development of the silver feel
ing. The final outcome was the Brussels
conference, which failed through the oppo.
sotlon of tho British government. Fall
ing In an International agreement, Mr.
Blaine believed in a limited coinage of sil
ver by the United States government,
coupled with reorganized trade relations
between the United States and the nations
of the western hemisphere. His idea was
that by the extension of our trade relations-with
tho American nations the silver
dollar of the .United Stutes could be made
to circulate as a monetary standard among
them, taking the place of the Mexican dol
lar so necessary to the volume of th-.:ir
circulation, because being maintained at
parlty'by the United States It would not
bo subject to the fluctuations of the Mex
ican dollar. Mr. Maine's reciprocity
scheme was a necessary part of this com
prehensive plan. The extension of trade
relations were essential to furnish the
outlet for the silver coinage, and recip
rocity was the only apparent method by
which our trade on this hemisphere could
be enlarged. The success of the latter
meant the success or the coinage scheme,
nnd the success of both meant the absorp
tion of the trade south of us, and an in
ternatlonl confederation, with the United
States at the head, which could success
fully dictate Its own terms In large meas
ure to the older civilization of Europe, In
time or peace, and effectually bid defiance
to them In case of war. As a further de
velopment of this plan, especially cognate
to the coinage question, Mr. Blaine put
forward In the International conference
his idea of an International silver coin for
the nations of North, South and Central
America.
o
"As a matter of fact Mr. Blaine was op
posed to the unlimited coinage of silver by
the United States. He held the Irrevoca
ble opinion that this country could not
force silver as a monetary standard alono
and single handed against the world, any
more than Mexico, which had become
practically bankrupt in the operation. He
did believe, however, that by concerted ac
tion on the part of American nations the
principle of bimetallism could be promoted
If not actually Introduced Into use the
world over. His position on the monetary
question Is proven by the propositions
advanced and the measures supported by
him In the International conference, all
tending to a great American confederation.
Apropos to this subject I think your
readers will find very interesting the fol
lowing letter written by Mr. Blaine to hs
friend, Colonel Conger, during Mr. Mc
Kinley's campaign In IS91. Mr. Bralne ex.
hiblted in this letter, as he has done on so
many occasions, his great gift, the faculty
which alone Indicates the statesman
that foresight which places before the
eye of his mind the Imminence of a pub
lic question or the outcome of a policy,
long before It Is apparent or even occurs
to the general or the Individual mind. In
a prophetic vein he predicted In this letter
the position which tho Democratic party
has today assumed in favor of a depre
ciated currency. The letter follows:
"Stanwood, Bar Harbor, Me..
September 23. 1891.
"Colonel A. L. Conger, Akron, Ohio.
"Mv Dear Sir: Your favor received. I
ennnbt take part In the Ohio campaign
this year, for many reasons which I need
not give. But I hope that no effort will
be spnred to elect McKinley, His victory
at this-time Is very Important to thu
country and the Republican party. He
and Mr. Campbell represent the honest
difference between the two parties at this
time. There is no dodging and no evasion,
and the voter need not be deceived. The
election of McKinley means the policy of
Protection anil honest money. The elec
tion of Campbell means free trade and
corruption of the currency. I believe Ohio
will stand by MeKlnley. Very sincerely
yours, James Q. Blaine."
o
"Mr. Blaine's relations with Mr. McKin
ley," continued Mr. Dent, "were always of
the most pleasant and friendly character
Much effort has been expended to make
It appear that Mr. Blaine was inimical to
Mr. McKinley because of his letter to Sen
ator Frye In 1SD0, In which he complained
that the McKinley bill would not give to
the United States a market for a barrel of
flour or a pound of pork. Mr. Blaine's ob
jection was not to the general features of
the bill. His complaint was against the
absurdity of throwing open a market for
$."0,0(10,000 or sugar, when It was possible
to gain advantages by making that market
the subject or bargain and trade. H was
Incensed at the panicky feeling which pre
vailed In congress on the subject of free
sugar, and which blinded so many to the
advantages to be gained by reciprocal ar
rangements on the bnsls of free sugar. He
made vigorous protests to both commit
tees of congress, and in personal Inter
views with his friends In congress, and
finally appealed the subject to the public
In his letter to Senator Frye, resulting In
the adoption of his reciprocity Idea In the
compromised form proposed by the presi
dent. But in all the discussion there wis
not the slightest personal feeling. Mr.
Blaine could not have for a moment been
so prejudiced as to hold Major McKinley
responsible for the general opposition tn
congress to his reciprocity plan. In order
to dispel the rumors put forth or Inimical
reelings between them, Mr. Blaine spoke
in the Ohio campaign that year at Can
ton, and again in ISM he wrote to Colonel
Conger, the above letter declining an Invi
tation to speak In the campaign of Air. .Mc.
Klnley for governor, a letter which should
effectually repel the calumny that Mr.
Blaine was personally hostile to Mr. Mc.
Kinley nnd did not wish him success. In
It he did not state the controlling reason
for his declination, but It was generilly
well known to be the condition of his
health, which he was ever averse to hav
ing dlsc-usesd In the public prints."
