A Compilation Worthy the Serious
Consideration of Every Voter.
Much of a statistical nature 1ms been
prlntPd durinp; the present campaign,
with a view of showing1 how much more
prosperous the country is now than it
was four years ago, at the close of a
four years' experiment with Demo
cratic administration. No small part of
these statistics were called forth by the
assertion of Bryan that even if the
country Is more prosperous, the pros

Alderman Otto D. Myers, of the Second ward, one of the leading
citizens of North Scranton, when asked by a Tribune man yesterday
why he favored the re-election of President McKinley, said:
"I favor his re-election because he is an American citizen who
honors and cherishes the American flag and who does not favor haul
ing it down in the Philippines as does his opponent.
"Because he displayed a wise policy in refusing to allow the coun
try to be plunged into war with Spain until we were ready.
"Because his has not been a free trade, deficit making, bond-issuing
administration. The farmer and mechanic are prospering today
and paying for their homes and farms by the substantial prices
they receive for their labor and produce as he guaranteed to them.
"Because he says that every Union man who served "his country
at the sacrifice of his own life in our Civil war should be compen
sated for it. He stands by the principles of the Republican party,
and does not have to change the issue every four years to make a
howl as does Mr. Bryan.
"Because every blow struck on the other side of the water on
marketable product which would come here in competition makes
one blow less at home, and every day's labor upon the foreign prod
ucts sent here takes one day's labor from us.
"Because he said give the day's labor to our own, first, last and at
all times. This is why we have a protective tariff, and the free trad
eis say give it to the foreign workmen if ours will not perform it at
the same price and accept the same wages."
locality a fitting- field In which to put
Mr. Bryan's assei lion to the test, and

the following statement:
"In 1803, 'm, 'ns, and 'H6 we employed
about a two-thirds force, or 1(100
hands, forty hottrs a week. April 1,
18D7, we entered upon full time, sixty
hours a week, with a full force of over
1.400 hands, and have been working
full time nnd full-handed until about
two months ao, when tho silk busi

falling off, owing to the belief preva

election."

company:
"In a general way, I would say trade
was only fair in tho Cleveland admin
istration. At no time was it anything
like we have enloyed under the Mc
Kinley administration. From the be
ginning of the McKinley administra
tion thete seemed to be a general con
fidence by the trade In business con
ditions, which has had the effect of
steadily Increasing our volume of trade.
"During the years immediately pre
ceding MeKinley's inauguration we
worked short-handed and experienced
some idleness. Since about the middle
of the year 1S97 we have worked every
day to the full capacity of the mill,
and lecently made an extensive addi
tion to the plant."
