"If there Is any one who believes
the gold standard is a good thing,
or that it must be maintained, I
warn him not to cast his vote for
me, because I promise him it will
not be maintained in this country
longer than I am able to get rid of
it." William Jennings Bryan in a
Speech at Knoxville, Tenn., Dellv
eied Sept. 10, 1800.
'
First Week of the Strike.
rlin FIRST wcclc of the
strike ends with the men
successful In suspending
production In a portion of
anthracite territory and partly
the
successful In curtailing It In the re
mainder. In order to win they must
tie up the whole production, and keep
It tied up. Nothing less than this,
both proclaimed nnd actually accom
plished, will render possible a victory.
With minor exceptions, the conduct
of the men has been beyond criticism
nnd public opinion has not failed to
give them corresponding credit. In
the Lackawanna valley, this Is es
pecially noticeable. It is a conspicu
ous proof of the deep-seated respect
which exists among honest tollers for
law nnd order. A continuance of this
conduct may confidently bo predicted
In this part of the coal fields, but
everywhere the wisdom of peaceful
conduct should be emphasized.
Certnln fundamental principles may
wisely be borne In mind. Men have
the right to strike nnd the right to
work, as they may elect, and the
ne right does not cancel the other.
The highest guarantees of our free
Institutions are at the service of the
individual whose liberty is infringed
upon, whether to work or to strike.
Comprehension of this ttuth will tend
to expedite a just conclusion.
It costs $30,000,000 a year to govern
Philadelphia. Wo trust that tho men
who pay the freight arc getting ths
worth of their money.
Our Trade with Canada.
T
yiE CANADIAN preferential
tariff in favor of the United
Kingdom has not had the
expected effect of reducing
tho proportion which tho United States
supplies of manufactures Imported Into
Canadian territory. The Canadian
Manufacturer .sharply calls attention
to tho fact that imports of dutloble
articles Into Canada from the United
Stntes in tho Hscal year 1899 aggre
gated over $11,000,000 and from Great
Rritaln less than $2S,000.000, nnd that
the United States is furnishing a much
larger amount of manufactures of iron
and steel than the United Kingdom,
nnd adds: "Tho preponderance of trade
Is overwhelmingly in favor of Ameri
can manufactures, and tariff prefer
ence in favor of British goods to the
contrary notwithstanding, American
manufacturers are taking tho cream of
the business. Is it possible that Brit
ish manufacturers nre entirely unable
to compote In the Canadian market?"
Tho Canadian tariff, it will bo re
membered, was In 1897 so adjusted that
tho duty on article's entering Canada
from the United Kingdom was made,
beginning with April, 1897. 12',i per
cent, less than tho rate from other
parts of tho world, nnd on July 1, 1S9S.
unnthcr reduction In favor of the
United Kingdom was made, bringing
.tho .total reduction to 25 per cent, as
aga'lnst goods coming from other parts
of tlioy world. A it cent announcement
Indicates that, beginning with July 1,
1900, n still further reduction would bo
made, so that tho tates of duty on
articles from the United Kingdom
would bo 33 1-3 per cent. less than
'those from other p.nts of the world.
Whljo tho effect of the third reduction
of 12',i per cent., which went into oper
ation July 1, 1900, cannot yet bo de
termined, It Is practicable to comparo
the 'Imports of manufactures into Can
ada frdm tho United Kingdom nnd tho
United States respectively during tho
years pndlnc Juno 30, 169S, 1899 and
1900, and thus determine whether tho
advantages which the manufacturers
of tlio United Kingdom have had over
those of tho United States during that
tlme'havo had a perceptible effect upon
tho relative growth of tho lmpot of
Canada from tho two countries, tho
United Kingdom and tho United States.
For purposes of comparison staple
nttcles of manufacture, such ns fab
rics of cotton, Jlnen, wool and jillk,
metal manufactures, refined spirits nnd
commercial oils, together with agricul
tural nnd Industrial Implements, fur
niture, leather products, etc., may bo
taken. In 1S9S tho total of Imports
from England of theso articles was $13, -
809,105: In 1809, 914,071,702: and In 1000,
$18,037,151. In 1808 the tottil of Imports
from the United States was 910,805,
022; In 1809, $13,215,079 am! In 1900, $15,
00S.677. Thus while the Canadian prcf-
eientlnl tariff haB stimulated the do
minion's trade with Great Urltaln It
has not, on the other hand, retarded
the Krowth of American Imports.
Incidentally It may also bo mentioned
that the total exports to British North
America from the United States In the
fiscal year 1900 exceeded ithose of any
previous year In our history, bclnR
$07,011,722, ncalnst $80,570,458 In 1803,
and 9S1.SS9.S10 In 1893.
The Republican party has less to
fear from Hryanlsm, which the great
mass of thinking people see through
nnd condemn, than It has to fear from
the over-confidence of Its own mem
bership. The way to win Is not to
rest but to work.
M'Klnley on Arbitration.
o
N APRIL, 2, 18S6, While n
member of congress, Presi
dent McKlnley made a
speech which has peculiar
Interest nt this time. The house of
representatives was considering a bill
to provide for the Ejioedy settlement
of controversies and differences be
tween common carriers engaged in In
tel state nnd territorial transportation
cf propei ty and passengers and their
employes. During the debate Mr. Mc
Klnley said:
"There Is a sense of fair play among
the people which, when crystnllzed
Into public judgment, Is as potent aye,
more potent than statute or Judicial
decree. No ralhoad corporation, no
labor union, no body ot laboring men
could long hold out against a fair and
equitable demand, backed by a willing
ness to submit the Justice ot that de
mand to a board of competent arbitra
tor. I believe In ntbltratlon as a
principle; I believe It should prevail
in the settlement of international dif
ferences. It represents a higher civil
ization than the arbitrament of war.
I believe It is in close accord with the
best thought and sentiment ot man
kind; I believe It Is the true way of
settling differences between labor and
capital; I believe It will bring both
to a better understanding, uniting them
closer In Interest nnd promoting bet
ter relntlons, avoiding force, avoiding
unjust exactions and oppression,
avoiding the loss of earnings to labor,
avoiding disturbances to trade and
transportation: and If this house can
contribute In the smallest measure, by
legislative expression or otherwise, to
these ends, It will deserve and re
ceive the gratitude of all men who
love pence, good order, justice and
fair play." ,
Public opinion will yet be brought to
a point In this country where arbitra
tion between employer and employed
must take the place of labor wars.
Karl I.I seems perfectly satisfied that
any save the guilty should be pun
ished for the disorders and atrocities
of the past few weeks in the Flowery
Kingdom.
The Inevitable In China.
1
MIH ANNOUNCEMENT
by
Attorney General Griggs af
ter yesterday's cabinet meet
ing that the cabinet was
"a unit in its resolve to tenr the
United States loose from the threat
ening entanglements In Asia by leaving
tho Held to those powers that are re
solved upon territorial acquisition" will
bo received with enthusiasm by oppo
nents of militarism and by those who
believe that tho United States should
within narrow limits mind nothing be
yond Its own actual business. As a de
cision of practical statesmanship
founded on tho virtual Inability of the
American government at this time to
do anything else it expresses executive
necessity.
Ilut nt the same time we doubt that
It Is a satisfactory policy to those com
pelled by circumstances to adopt it.
They undoubtedly foresee that to leave
a helpless and derelict empire like
China free to European spoliation and
dismemberment, putting Into Jeopardy
valuable American treaty rights and
virtually closing the open door, Is more
easily said than done; nnd we dare say
they appreciate the fact that while
withdrawal now may gain nn interval
of rest the time Is bound to come when
American interests In China will have
to bo secured.
It is plain that the powers meditate
tho mutilation of China nnd that the
soft phrases of their diplomacy nre but
feints to locate the opposition. Should
tho programme of International con
fiscation be consummated It will bo
Idyllic innocence to expect that the de
spollers will admit American products
Into their spheres of influence without
obsttuctlon or discrimination. The
Amerlenn people. If they mean to pre
serve their rights and legitimate pros
pects in China, might as well open their
eyes to the cold facts In the case, ehlef
of which Is that the only way to retain
theso rights In their undiminished es
sence Is to enforce them.
This Inevitable may bo deferred but
It cannot be escaped.
The experiences of Corbett and Mc
Coy prove that men should not worry
their wives with business cares and
secrets.
Duty Versus Desertion.
(From President McKinlcj's Letter of Accept
ance.) THEItn WEKE those who two
years ngo were rushing us
on to war with Spain who
nro unwilling now to accept
its clear consequences, as thero are
thoso among us who advocated tho
ratification of the treaty of peace, but
now protest against Its obligations.
Nations which go to war must be pre
pared to accept Its resultant obliga
tions, and when they make treaties
must keep them.
Thoso who profess to distrust tho
liberal and honorable purposes of tho
administration In Its treatment of the
Philippines nro not justified. Imper
ialism has no place In Its creed or con
duct. Freedom Is the rock upon which
the Republican party was bulldcd and
now rests. Liberty Is the grent Re
publican doctrine for which the people
went to war and for which a million
1 lives were offered and billions of dol-
lars expended to make It tho lawful
legacy of all without tho consent of
master or slave. Thero Is a strain of
Ill-concealed hypocrisy In tho nnxlcty
to extend the constitutional guaranties
to tho people of tho Philippines, while
their nullification Is openly advocated
at home. Our opponents may distrust
themselves but they have no right to
discredit tho good faith nnd patriotism
of the majority of tho people, who nro
opposed to them; they may fear the
worst form of Imperialism with the
helpless Filipinos In their hands, but
If they do, It Is because they have
parted with the spirit and faith ot tho
fathers and have lost tho virility of
the founders of tho party which they
profess to represent.
The Republican party docs not have
to assort Us devotion to the declara
tion of Independence. That immortal
Instrument ot tho fathers remained
unexecuted until the people under the
lead of the Republican party In tho
awful clash of battle turned its prom
ises into fulfilment. It wroto Into the
constitution tho amendments guaran
teeing political equality to American
citizenship nnd It has never broken
them or counselled others In .breaking
them. It will not be guided In Its con
duct by one set of principles nt home
and another sot in the new territory
belonging to tho United States.
If our opponents would only practice
as well ns preach the doctrines of Ab
raham Lincoln, there would be no fear
for the safety of our Institutions at
homo or their rightful Influence In any
territory over which our flag floats.
Empire has been expelled from Por
to Rico nnd tho Philippines by Ameri
can freemen. The flag of the republic
now floats over these Islands as an em
blem ot rightful sovereignty. Will the
republic stay and dispense to their in
habitants the blessings of liberty, edu
cation and free institutions, or steal
away, leaving them to anarchy or Im
perialism? The American question Is between
duty and desertion the American ver
dict will be for duty and against de
sertion, for the republic against both
anarchy and Imperialism.
In a letter to the Rochester Post
Express, ex-Consul O. F. Williams,
who recently made a speaking tour of
West Virginia, writes: "If West Vir
ginia does not double this year her
Republican majority of 1S9G I shall bo
amazed. I have heard of hundreds of
old-time Democrats, ex-Confederates
and their sons, who nre now for Mc
Klnley and have heard of but two
Republicans In 1690vho are for Bryan."
Mr. Williams investigated these cases
and this is what he found: One of the
men owns a small coal mine and has
great difficulty in getting cars enough
to ship his coal, the railroads being
rushed with business; he says that
when Cleveland was president he could
get all the cars he wanted. The other
Is a rich farmer, a man who keeps
about $20,000 on hand to loan to other
farmers. During the Cleveland ad
ministration he could put out his
monpv at from 12 to 20 per cent. In
terest, but now ho cannot get more
than 4 or 5; he complains also because
in Cleveland's time he could hire mn
to work his farm at from 50 cents to
75 cents a day, but now he has to pay
from $1 to $1.50.
Lieutenant Uobson is credited with
the statement that the Spanish ships
at Manila were not destroyed by Ad
miral Dewey but were scuttled by
their own crews. Next wo may hoar
some one making tho assertion that
Uobson did not sink tho Morilmac.
It Is Indeed a pity that some of the
various prophets about tho country
who claim to have predicted the Gal
veston hurricane could not have se
cured a hearing before tho winds be
gan to blow.
The withdrawal of Mr. Caffrey, presi
dential candidate of the eleventh party,
ought to make a good opening for
Hon. Webster Davis.
As the campaign proceeds Mr.
Dryan's desire to piny football with
the full dinner pall becomes almost
hysterical.

NO. XVI. THE WATER SUrf LIES
AND THE WATEH RATES OF
THE LARGER CITIES OF THE
UNITED STATES.
New York, Sept. 22.
THF. WATER QUESTION Is one ot the most
setlous problems confronting the larger
cities of the United States. To Some of
them it Is the inot serious. Philadelphia,
tor Imtance, is in dire need, not only of a pure,
but adequate water supply. To solve the problem
It recently set alde (12,000,00.). Many thousands
of dollars have already been expended In inaKlnB
elaborate survejs to find another source of supply
than the Schuylkill riven thousands more will be
expended before a satlfactory method for purl
fjinp; the water Is found. Alhanj, N. Y., seems
to hive solved the latter part of the problem.
When the uiipurlfled llud'on rlcr natcr was ued
tho death rate from tjpholil fever was alarm
Inuly large, as 1'hlladelphh's Is and has been;
but since the installation of the large nitration
plant about a jear ago the typhoid rate has
fallen to the minimum. It has procn so satis
factory that other large cities have been Influ
enced to decide In faor ot tho sand nitration
scheme, notably Pittsburg and Cincinnati. At
pre-ent the Albany plant Is the largest In the
t'nlte.1 States, but the others will greatly out
i!as it.
All things considered, Detroit has the best
water supply In the country. It is not only Inex
haustible, but pure. It Is also delivered to the
consumer at a lower rate than in any other city.
Tho general service of the plant Is the best. A
few jcars ago, before the introduction of meters,
the water rates were much higher, lly the ne
of meters almost tho entire waste was stopped,
the expenditures were decreied and the Income
was Increased, and the consumer soon leaped the
larger benefit by repeated reductions in the
water rate. Ily the payment of 2 a jear the
average householder can secure a supply of water
that will permit him to ue it in his kitchen,
laundry and jard. On the pajment of ijil.TO more
he will bo irmitted to use It In a stationary
wath-stand, in the bath, water closet and for
sprinkling.
The aerage per capita consumption In the
city of London is about thirty gallons; tint of
llulTalo is eight times as much. With one ecrp-
tlon, Ilulfalo Is the most wasteful city In the
United States in the me of watrr. The exception
is a priate company In Seranton, Pa., which
has a per capita consumption of about CM gal
lons per day. It is to be noticed, however, that
whereas the supply of Seranton Is distributed by
gravity, that of nuffalo Is pumped. It is need
less to say that If the private company of Scran
ton were obliged to pump its water there would
never be any such per capita consumption al
lowed.
This is one of eeral faults of a municipal
plant lack of economical manigement. An
other is the seemingly Inexhiustlble pitienee
of the citlrens. Many that hao put up with a
poor service, cspeelilly with an impure supply,
een to the extent ot being a constant menace
to the health ot the community, for several
jears. While some "crank" will occasionally
register a "kick" in a letter in the dally press,
signing himself "Citizen," more than that sel
dom happens and the criminal negligence on the
part of tho city goernment continues. Troy,
N. Y., now claims the proud distinction of hav
ing the largest tjphoid death rate in Jhe Em
pire State, and It Is suffering and has suffered
for j ears from a water supply that would be a
disgrace to Pckln. If the sen. ice had been tint
of a private corporation, the company would
Ime been burled long ago by an indignant elti
rcnshlp; but as it owns its own plant, the ser
lce of muddy and unwholesome water con
tinues.
The question of the amount charged for water
Is also an important one. It Is olten the cae
that the management of water plants is unjutt
!y criticised, because its rates arc higher than
some other city. These criticisms usually origin
ate with those who Ime not ctamlned into the
question to any large extent. Conditions .ary
so In different cities that It Is not alwajs fair
to compare the rates of one with another. And
yet comparison of rates Is not without its
value and interest. The use of meters Is meet
ing with growing favor because the consumers
are beginning to realize that it Is in their faor.
If a meter ecr cheats, It alwajs cheats the com
pany and not the consumer. Water is one of the
few commodities which is capable of accurate
measurement.
The following tables gle the meter and what
Is called the flat rate schedules in thirty of the
larger cities in the country. The titles are
arranged according to the amount of the rate, be
ginning with the smallest amount charged.

"We are not there to establish an Imperial
government; but we are there to establish a gov

and properly, and opportunity to all who dwell
there."
"Consternation and despair have given place
to faith and courage, the voice of calamity Is no
longer heard In the land, and the orator of dis

A Now York business man of sedentary liabita who has for years occasion-
i ally used a Rlpans Tabulo to aid digestion, relate that ho nwoko ono morning
recently with a violent headache of a pronounced typo. It was so sovcro that ho
considered a doso of calomel and a day in lied, but as tho lalter was impossible,
owing to tho business requirements of that particular day, ho started from
homo nt tho usual hour nnd, in an unusiul stntoof depression nnd tomper.
: Arriving at his ofllce, his eyes happened to ret,t uton tho packet of Ripana
Tabules that ho kept In Ids desk, nnd in n somewhat desperate stato ho took
' threo of tho Tabules at ono swallow and sat down to attend to tho work of tho
' day. A lialf hour later ho realized to his surprise that tho headache had left him
nnd that ho was in his usual good health. Moreover tho headacho did not
' return. Uo went immediately to tho ofllco of tho company and narrated his
experience, with a suggestion that tho story bo told for tho benefit of others.
That day's tlmo was saved to him and It was worth moro than ten dollars in
i ctuJi, to say nothing of tho discomfort ho escaped.
