Sustaining the Administintion.
It Is to be regretted thut tho Demo
cratic nominee for oonpress In this dis
trict, who says that apart from wlll
liiRnesH to vole help to the president If
war Is renewed and anxiety for a new
navy his "principles' are embodied In
the Democratic platform" does not
specify wfilch platform. Some Demo
cratic platfoims have declared protec
tion unconstitutional, otheis have up
held it: some pre for five sliver, others
for the pnld standaid; s-ome favor this
thins and others' favor that, but hardly
any two an- alike.
For his expressed willingness. If elect
ed, to support the persldent's war policy
Mr. Snmto is entitled to gratitude: but
In view of the fait that his action In
fill political matters would be governed
I'.v the party cam us. which is con
trolled by extremists like Bailey eager
to make party capital, this assurance,
however honestly meant. Is hardly stif
li'lent. it Is true that when tho $..(),
Oiia.n'i'i iWense appiopiiatlon was under
(onslderitlou bf- i unstress Demoeiots
and Republicans stood by the president
as one man: but It Is hIpi true that tho
unity hardly survived that memorable
day. It was. only a llttie while? later
that evcty Inilurnee of the Democracy
was directed ngulnsi the president In
ids wise and since fully vindicated pol
b y of decllnlns to recognize the Inde
pendence of the putelv nominal Cuban
lepublic; and each step afterward of
the president In execution of war plana
lciiuhlnu; ratification hy consresp wni
marked by party division and Demo
cratic obstruction, at least by the ma
jority o'f that party's representation in
congress.
The lesron of history Is that no man
who wants to sustain a deserving na
tional administration should think that
he can do this by voting to elect a con
stress politically opposed to the admin
istration. The natural attltuda of the
Democratic party is one of sullen op
position to Republican measures Tho
exceptions to this rule, during all the
ears of Republican national suprem
acy. cn be counted on the tinsel's of
oiih hund,
A Vote for William Council Is a vote
of confidence in William McKinley.
Worth Bearing in Mind.
"Some Instructive statistics In regard
to the Industrial condition of the coun
try are published by the American
Protective Tariff League. The Hon.
Robert W. Taylor, who repiesenis In
cunpress the district which leturned
President McKinley during many
years, investigated tho statu of lead
ing Industries in 4T states and terri
tories and found that wages paid to
labor were. 41 per cent, greater In tho
llscul year U98 than they were In 1&95.
when the Wilson law was In force.
What thU means can be understood
from tho fact that, nccotdlnc to the
censtiN of 1890, the wages paid In man
ufactures ulom during the year
amounted to 2,2S.VJ16,529. If it is as
s.umed that the tame total was paid
for wage in this one department of
industry In 1S95, the (tain to working
men In 1X98 over 1895 would be J1.001,
015,272. It Is fair to infer thut there
has been a corresponding increase In
other lines, such as agriculture and
mining, If such Is the case, it Is riot
Improbable that the total gain In wages
" In 1698 over 1895 nan not been far from
12,000,000,000.
"This Is not the only indication of
the advance made by business since
the Republican party cmne into power
and restored the policies for which it
has always stood, The value of do-
mestlo exports of merchandise from
the United Stntcs Increased from $793,

ending on June no, lsps, exceeded the
value of the Imports of manufactured
goods Into the 1'nlted States.
"These are facts which every voter
should welsh carefully before making
U his mind how he will vote for con
gress candidates." lluffalo Kxpicss.

John Wanamnker.
I'ntll the moment" that lion. John
Watiamaker was defeated two years

Quay wu one of at least nominal
friendliness nnd he had no words for
(he Republican organization In Penn
sylvania but words of praise Men
whom lie is now denouncing as crim
inals prior to that time were welcomed
by hhn as companions: their alleged
villainy took form In his imagination
only after they failed to contribute to
his own advancement.
The .cnatotlal struggle that result
ed ill the election of Penrose over
Waminiakri disclosed some details In
the methods of tin supporters of the
latter which undoubtedly cut deeply
Into their declio lor rpvenge. With

win the manufacture of public dis
content with the domtnnnt party lead
ership, and this was token bv the es
tablishment at ilniilsbttrg of a well
equipped lltciary burrnti to magnify
legislative errors and emphasize the
virtues of the anti-Quay "reformers."
Whether the men who had offered
inoni.v to legislative candidates In
Wanamaker's Intel est prior lo the sen
atorial caucus also used money after
ward to create mischief in the legisla
ture Is not stated: but their uctlve
presence In and about the state capi
tal during the preliminary stages of
the present open war for Republican
partv dislntegintlor. is n fact of no
toriety. Voters can draw their own
conclusions.
The calling of Mr. Wanamaker Into
the iield as a gubernatorial candidate
by a conference of his colleagues In

defeat, followed in iulck succession.

for Democratic legislative support for
Wanamaker In a second senatorial
candidacy was the next move In the
sequence of Mr. Wnnamaker'ii fi?ht;
and when It failed through the nomi
nation of Jenks the Philadelphia mer
chant had nothing left to do but to
make fusion legislative arrangements
with Democrats and Prohibitionists
directly wherever possible, and to con
tribute ammunition to every group of
citizens ready to join in an attack upon
Republican sfpremacy. In pursuance
of this plan Mr. Wanamaker will to
day visit Peranton and vicinity and
recite the budgets of arraignment
which his fulmied subordinate!) dally

his usual programme he will afford no
duo us to whom he supports, for gov
ernor nor mention the name of the
man he lias in view as a candidate for

simply tell of the awful badness which
he has discovered In the Quay ma
chine since It blocked his pathway to
political preferment, and ask the Re
publican voters of L-tckawanna county
to help him to revenge.
Mr. Wanamakir Is a man of energy,
shiewdncss and rematkabie executive
ability. Whatever may be thought of
a principles he docs not lack brains,
lie has conducted a notable retalia
tory campaign and discovered to tho
public a latent resource in ready
speaking not before suspected. Those
who hear hlni will be entertained. But
when all that lie (an say shall have
been said, there will remain no con
vincing reason why ono mun'a gtiu

voting to sustain Republican suprem

Incompetent Democracy to get back

A Friend of Education.
For sixteen yeais a school teacher
displaying ability and fairness while
engaged In public Instruction, Hon,
James C. Vaughan entered the state
senate well qualified xto play a com
manding part in the formulation of leg
Islatlon affecting the public schools.
His record in that respect Is one of
which he may well bo proud.
The free kindergarten bill Introduced
by him and successfully piloted through
both houfes, afterwards leceiving ex
ecutive approval, put it within the
rpwer of third cluss cities when so
minded to make the kindergarten sy
stem a .regular part of the jinbllo
schools, It )s the legalization m an
Idea in education which has tha un-
qualified Indorsement of nil leading
educators. It will In time be an Ines
timable boon to thousands of Pennsyl
vania children nnd parents.
It ma' not be generally known,
but It Is true that Senator Vnttglmn
had chnrge In the senate of the com
pulsory education bill and was suc
cessful In securing almost an unani
mous vote for It. lie divides with Rep
resentative Fair credit for Its enact
ment into lnw.
When an attempt wns made at liar
ilsburg to reduce the public school up
ptiat ion from eleven to ten million dollars
no member of either house fought It
more vigorously or with greater force
and ability than Senator Vaughan. In
fact, his whole attitude townrd the
public schools was one of llbcrul nnd
untiling friendship. Ho was In deed
frjo less than In word a friend of educa
tion who should be retained In the pos
ition he fills so well.
It Is an Interesting fact that all the
correspondents with the army at Ma
nila unite In pronouncing Admiral
Dewey the one American otllcer who
lias fully ilsen to the demands on every
occasion. What Is the matter with
Dewey for first governor-general of the
American Philippines?
"When II conies to a choice between
arecordanda prospectus," says Senator
Magce. "I am for the record all the
time." The Democratic "reform" pros
pectus now being paraded through tho
state offers no Inducements to Re
publicans who think.
The Faslioda march and retieat
proves that the character of the French
people hasn't changed much since the
"King of France, with twice ten thou
sand men, inarched proudly tip the hilt
one clay nnd then marched down
again."
The difference between John Wana
maker and Sampson is that Sampson
wrecked the temple while killing him
self, whereas Brother Wanamuker's
work will doubtless go no further than
political suicide.

Party Destruction
Is a Poor Business
From the Altoena Tribune.
LAS'l ear a great many Democrat!, in
Ulalr county voted for Dr. Swallow
for state treasurer. They dirt so
1 urtlv because they observed th it
a good many of their Republican
nelgl'l ors were going that wuv and part
ly because they knew that the nominee
of their own party was hopclesslv de
feated. In the beginning of this years
canvass they may have felt like repcutb:"
the experiment; at any rate, they talked
that way very enthusiastically. Hut as
the campaign prcgrei-seu and they
thought they saw a chance to elect th"
Democratic state ticket and a part of the
Democratic county ticket, as well us to
gain a possible free silver congressman,
their attitude began to change. Many
openly acovv that they mean to vote lor
Jenks and the entire Democratic ticket.
Some are keeping very quiet. Others
openlv avow that they mean to vote lor
Jenks. Tho result, npraront to every
citizen, will he a decided falling off of Dr.
Swallow's vote, as compared with I.nt
yenr. and a corresponding Increase in the
Democratic vote. Dr. Swallow's follow
ing in lllalr county will be composed al
most exclusively of Republicans. The
number who will stubbornly insist upon
thus increasing the chances of Demo
cratic victory Is uncertain. It should be
small.
o ,
The Tribune has the utmost considera
tion for tho feelings of those Republicans
who arc Indignant at the attempted mil
i ouduct of certain members of the lcgls
lature of 1VJ7. We say attempted, tor,
after nil, they were thwarted by the vigil
ance of honest Republicans. Wlint they
tried to do and what really became an
accomplished fact are two vastly different
things, and all In cause of the vlgllanco
of Republicans who gave the utmost pub
licity to the wrongs that were attempted
by a cabal of Democrats and Republi
cans. In view of this fact we think tho
Republican who Is persuaded to join a
combination which iias for Its object the
destruction of his party Is a very simple
soul indeed. It Is all well enough to
"teach the leaders n lesson," hut, If tho
teaching Involves th" loss of the legis
lature, of a United Stntcs senator ami of
the Fifty-sixth congress, the Republican
who persists In slashing his party and 'ts
regularly nominated candidates this year
Is certainly a very foolish person. For
nothing Is more certain than that a Dem
ocratic victory In Pennsylvania in 1S93
will bo the prelude to a Democratic vie.
tory In tho nation In 19f. And that would
mean free coinage and the most uppall
Ing panic this country ever saw.
o
Hvery Republican who votes for Dr.
Swallow or for the Democratic legisla
tive ticket votes to do himself harm,
ibe November election Is nut golii? to ir
suit in Dr. Swallow's success. He Is go
ing lo be thlid In the race. If bo suc
ceeds In holding a sufficient number of
Republicans, Mr. Jenks will be our nevt
governor. And he would throw tho
weight of ids official Influence and pres
tige against the vvle and patriotic policy
of the president und In favor of Prjnnlsm.
Tho next legislature! will be either Re
publican or Democratic. If it is Demo
cratic. Quuy's fcucccsEor will be a Bryan
Democrat and tho sentiment of this stale
will be quoted In favor of tho Populistle
tenets which were so emphatically repu
diated In ISM. The Tribune Iiiih never id
mired Senator Quay. Hut between him
and such a man as Gtiffey or Jenks It Is
for Quay all the time, because It thinKs
he can be depended upon to vote right.
And after all bis chief offense in Demo
cratic eyes Is that ho has Ird moro than
ono successful campaign ngablst that

he Is an honored citizen of Pittsburg a
man of unblemished reputation, and our

THE REAL ISSUE.
From a Speech by Col. Win. A. Slone.
There. Is a growing opinion among the
men who voted for William McKinley In
ISM thnt we cannot safely trust this stale
to the management of the Democratic
party. I know that certain men are tra
versing the state preaching tho doctrine
of discord and hate. I am not hero to
say a word of disparagement against
either of my opponents I don't believe in
that kind of a campaign. 1 am here as
the standaid bearer of the Republican
party. 1 am rot here to answer the Ir
relevant charges that hhve been so fre
quently made and Just as frequently de
nied. They do not affect me, nor do
they enter Into tills campaign so far as 1
am concerned. They ore not Issues.
it is said by Dr. Swallow that the stntn
capltol at llarrlsburg was destroyed by
an Incendiary. 1 don't see how that
charge affects me so long us he does not
accuse me of having set the capital on
tire. It Is further charged that the rose
propagating house at Hurrlsbnrg co.ct
over eight thousand dollars. Governor
Hastings proves by vouchers on file In
his ofllce that II cost but eighteen hun
ched dollars. Whatever dispute there is
over this matter N between Dr. Swallow
and the governor. It has nothing to do
with me. Dr. Swallow has resurrected the
same old stories for the circulation c f
wJiUh he was trl'd nnd convicted of slan
der by a Jury cf his neighbors. I don't
see why he Is any better qualified to be
governor than myself. Is It because lie
claims to know who burned the capltol'.'
1 frankly admit that I do not know, if
I did know 1 would nromptly lodge my In
formation with the nearest grand jury,
and I think that Is the course Dr. Swal
low should pursue, Instead of trying to
Influence the minds and pajudons ot the
people of this commonwealth.
The question In this campaign is what
Is the best Interest of the people. The
Democrats say that reform Is the gnat
Issue. Hy reform they mean the defeat
of the Republican ticket and the election
ot tho Democratic candidates. Just us
sure as Pennsylvania goes Democratic
this year, just so sure will the country
go Democratic In Ifniil. We could not In
two short years overcome the dreadful
blow that would lie given to our party.
If you want free trade nnd free sllvei io
the front again, the best way to get It Is
to vote the Democratic ticket. If Penn
sylvania remains Republican the return
of thec twin heresies will be an Impos
sibility.
AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.
The President, at St. Louis.
It must be a matter of gtent gratifica
tion to the people of the United StiMes
to know that the national credit wns
never better than now; for the lirst time
In tho country's history the government
Is floating 3 per cent, bonds, every dollar
of which was sold at par, and are now at
a premium of .1 cents on the dollar, and
that this profit has gone lo the people.
The loan was a popular one, and it has
been the source of much satisfaction that
the people, with their surplus savings,
were able to buy the bonds. It Is an In
teresting fact that while we offered but
two hundred millions of bonds for sale,
over fourteen hundred millions were sub
scribed by the people of the country, and
by tho terms of sale, no one was able to
receive bonds in excess of J.'i.WM.
It is not without significance, too. that
tho government has not been required
since ISM lo borrow any more for its cur
rent obligations until the war with Spain,
while Its available balance October 1, 1SIK,
wns upward of j:!07.000.000. of which sum
over $.M3.0uo.OOO wus in gold. Nothing
more Impressed the nations of tho world
than the appropriation of a large national
defence fund, which the treasury was
able to pay from Its balance without re
sort to a loan. While the credit and
finances of the government have Im
proved, the business conditions of the
people have also happily Improved. L'oth
government and citizens have shared In
the general prosperity. The money cir
culation of the country wus larger on the
llrst of July, isns, than it has ever been,
and there has been no depreciation of the
value of our money.
WISE AND TIMELY ADVICE.
Wllliamsport Gazette nnd Bulletin.
The great danger that comes troin the
Assistant Democratic movement of John
Wanamaker and Dr. Swallow lies In tho
fact that tho number of Republicans who
may bo betrayed will be sufficient to en
danger the success of the legulnr ticket.
In that event George A. Jenks, free
trader, free sllvorlte, chlcigo platform
adherent and opponent of the admin
istration's foreign policy, might be
elected. What a spcctaclo that would be
for the Republicans of Pennsylvania. It
would be an act of retrogression, i back
ward step that could not be rectilltd for
years. Another danger Is that the elec -tlon
of Jenks might carry with it tho
election of Democratic free trade and free
silver congressmen, and also Democratic
legislative) candidates, thus makl g it
posslblo to elect a Democratic 1'nlted
Stntcs senator from Pennsylvania. This
would bo a political calamity, a blow at
tho Interests of this great state. Under
the circumstances, and in view of the
danger that exltts, tho Republicans of
the state should havo nn awakening, n
realization of tho emergency that con
fronts them, and bo prepared to offset It
by voting tho party ticket strulght. Be
not swerved from your duty by the se
ductlvu pleadings of such men ns Jenks.
Swallow or Wanamaker. They nro ene
mies of the Republican policy, und merit
tho severest rebuke of every loyal Itcpuii
llcan In the state. Do not be deceived by
these men or their henchmen, but stick to
your regular party nominees and help
elect them.
