Last Word to Voters.
I.V TUB rASlS (if most voters
.irsuinenl now Is unnecessary.
Tliey have studied the questions
at issue in the campaign, have
carefully compared the opposing can
didates and the Influences they rep
resent, and have made up their minds
which way they Intend to vole.
There are sonic, however, who, while
imt In doubt about the head of the
ticket, have minds yel. open in regard
to the local nominees. Our advice to
tlirni is to give their party the benefit
of any doubt and vote a straight ticket.
Where-.!, number of names appear on
a party ticket it is inevitable that
ronie voter somewhere will feel like
objecting to one or more of them; ii
ticket i completely suiting everybody is
an impossibility. Hut it Is important
to remember that party organization.
Which Is the basis of party success
and I ho necessary means of getting
certain principles introduced Into the
government, rests upon par.ty regu
larity: upon respect for the will of the
majority; upon Individual concessions
in minor particulars for the sake of
elfecting gieat results by virtue of
en-operation. You might not like some
colonel in the army but if you were
a soldier pledged to uphold the (lag
yon would not let your personal bias
betray you Into insubordination or de
gqrtlo.i. For the good of the cause
you would pass It by.
Tt seems to us that every Uepubll
can, as well as many persons of other
party affiliations who put prosperity
and pride in splendid national achieve
ment above partisanship must to
morrow vole to continue in o(tlce the
administration which has shown such
a great, capability for producing ex
cellent results, and also to re-elect
the congressman who has been, to
the extent of his opportunity, William
Moronity's loyal partner and sup
porter III all these things. Hut while
voting right at th top of the ticket,
why should not every llrpubllcati, at
least, uphold his party ly voting for
tile other Republican candidates, Wat
son, Tellows, Scranton, Lewis, L'ope
land, Daniels, noun, Beck, Sturges,
and the legislative candidates, either
Reynolds. Seheuer, James or Philhln?
They are Republicans nominated by
plurality vote in open primaries; tholr
lltness for oilier Is unquestioned: and
their defeat or the defeat of any of
them, would count ns a Republican
lo.'-s and as a Democratic gain.
The auguries point to a rousing Re
publican victory in this nation. Lot
us have Its local counterpart to-morrow
in Lackawanna county.
Take no chances on n split ticket. It
may forfeit your ballot.

. ; Tie Great Coal Question.
A"T"V12 OnKATKST prosperity
I barometers lu tha world
.L are coal and pig Iron. Coal,
perhaps, Is the greater of
the two. It Is the material energy
of the country; the great factor In all
Its manufacturing enterprises. When
the country is prosperous, when all
the factory chimneys are belching
smoke, and when all the furnace fires
aro (laming, then the coal miners are
busy, the production increases, wages
advance, and the railroads got enor
mous tonnage in huuling the coal,
Shipping Is In demand for coal car
goes and t)io entire country throbs
with the energy generated by coal.
That the United states, Judged by
this barometer, is prospering as It
never prospered before, Is Indisputable,
That It is u prosperity that reaches
the masses Is also beyond dispute. In
18S8, the production of coal In the
United States was not only the largest
In our history, but larger linn that
of any ether country in the world.
In 1891, for the first tint?, the United
States llgures show a larger produc
tion than of Great Britain. As the
production of iho Wilful Ktales In
lSfifl exceeded thiil. of 1S03 by 3V.i3,bSJ
tons, the Immense and steadily In
nreafltig prosperity tit the country
ran be fairly gauged,

mints, llin coal production of tins
country has Increased from Ul.PS0.3ri7
tons in ism) to 2riS,r.ni),6riO totu In isoo
an Increase of (1,15:1,293 tons. The
figures as to the averago numbnr of
men employed lu the coal mines of the
Unltrd States In 189fi ntid ' ISO!) nhow
how the opening of the mills of the
country Increated the number of wage
workers In tills one Industry. In 1896
there were !tn.";,lfi'J men employed lu coal
mining, th 1S98 there were (01,221 men
so employed, and In IS!)!) there were

ployed over 1898 and of over 10,000
over ISftS.

Worthy of Study.
THAT WAS a wonderful showing-,
noted In Saturday's
Tribune, of the Increase in
local bank deposits made
during the four years of Republican
good times. It ought to be studied and

About ciKbleeii years aito I came to Scranton
and eneaeeil In the ait business, rented ,1 tine

ailUtlr, 1 had, perhaps, an unduly blqli opinion
of my Knowledge In that line, and, ftudlnc; that
the business did not puy, I felt somewhat em
bltteied towards what I contemptuously called
the "cheap town." of Scranton, It was about
this time that I first met William Connell, and,
by the way, 1 don't think I have ever come
ill personal (outait with him since.

for that purpose, tlittt I had found Scranton

l'onnell turned upon and sharply reproved me,
He said I "Hold on, ,oun; nun, I cannot stand

although I resented the rebuke at I lie time, 1
knew It was deserted and luve never forgotten

When all has been said that can be said fairly

that since the preservatlorl of tho Union U

no president bus been confronted by duties of
such magnitude as those which have devolved
upon Mr, McKinley. Xo president could have

For nearly three years now Mr. MuKlnley has
pioaccutcd with steadfast fidelity the policy
which was Indicated to him by events, as it
would liava been Indicated to any equally pa

tion and opportunities. He is an opportunist
to Just that extent ard in that sense only, from
the beginning to the present lime nellher oppo-
sltton nor hostile criticism has turned him from
the straight line to the end In view; ror lias he
manifested, as to principles or details, the slight
est hesitation or -Ineonslstene-. At the same
time he has performed his sworn duty under cir
cumstances of exceptional difficulty, without sur
passing at any point or In any particular the
line which defines the limitations of In-, consti
tutional authority. He has usurped no more than
he hai avoided the responsibilities proper to
him. His will has been no firmer to do the part
belonging to the executive than it has been to
refrain from Interfering with the funrtlons of
tho legislative and Judicial department ot the
government. Ills course has been as true as an

WORTH KEEPING.
From the Rochester Post-Express.
To exhibit the wonderful giowth ot the for
eign trade of thn United States during .the ad
ministration of President McKinley, we make
the following; comparisons, tha figures allowing
exports and Imports for nine months ending
with September:
1894 President Cleveland
Imports $503,590,042
Exports. . . 562,288,257
1895 President Cleveland
Imports $600,981,988
Exports 546,423,033
1896 President Cleveland
Imports 3522,088,289
Exports 650,963,348
1897 Cleveland and McKinley
Imports 8588,743,315
Bxports 732,630,004
1898 President McKinley
Imports 8475,378,955
Exports 854,188,848
1899 President McKinley
Imports 3585,902,398
Exports 902,477,500
1900 President McKinley
Imports 694,458,413
Exports 1,031,681,608
What better argument can be found for the
re-election of President McKluley and the con
tinuance of Republican policies in national af
fairs? Under the Democratic administration then
was uncertainty, small trade, little work, and
unsatisfactory compensation to labor. Under
the llcpublican administration llicvo has been
employment for every willing hand, and the
wages of labor have been higher than ever be
fore, while the foreign trade of the country
has increased faster tnan at any other peiiod lu
our history faster indeed than in the history of
any other nation In the world.
Let us havn at Washington a continuance of
the great Republican policies of protection and
sound money under which we prosper.'
TRADE WITH PORTO RICO.
The manufacturing and familng inlet-eils teem
to be about equally benefited by the increased
export, trad" with Porto Itico uhich has fol
lowed the Porto Itlciui tariff act. The act went
into effect May 1, 1900. and the treasury bureau
of statistics lias Just completed the figures cov
ering the live mouths of our commerce! since
that act became operative. These figures show
that the exports to the island fiom Slay 1, 1000,
to October 1, 1000, were $!,73f ,203, against $(,
802 in tho same months of 1607, the last year
in which Porto Rico was undert the Spanish
flag, or nearly tour times as much in five months
of MOO as in the corresponding five months of
1S07.
o
All the gicat douses of manufactures show a
maikcd increase In 1000 as compuied with 1S07,
anil so do all the great classes of agricultural
products. Agricultural implements increased
from $1,217 iu tho live mouths ot 1897 to $3,850
in the same months of 1900; sewing machines
increased from Si, 008 to $3,13'.'; cars and car
riages from SM,344 to $12,200; builders' hard
waic, from (1,335 to (22,0S; furniture, from
$3,392 to $23,220; lumber, from $33,417 to $03,517;
petroleum, from $12,030 tn $G5,95a; and cotton
cloth, from (1,423 to $400,194. Agricultural
products show an equally striking increase.
Coin increased from (337 lu the five mouths ot
ISO to 10,712 In the some months of 1900; but
ter, tiom (3,131 e (5,240; chece, from (1,002
to (20,103; bacon, from (0,910 to (2S.I31; pork,
from (7,820 to $04,307; lard, from (41,892 to
(201,401, and flour, from (20J,278 to $102,912.
There aro ni.iny other Items both in manufactures
nnd agiicul'iiral products which show an In
crease, vvhllo the products of the mine also
show n niaikrd growth, especially in the c-atc of
coal, which increased from $14,080 to $!rt,3t5.

this lemail.ablc growth lu our exports to
Porto Itico is especially interesting and some

during the dlscitsiions of the Poito Illcan act,
which indicated that, owing to the destruction
of crops nnd property in Porto Itico hy tha

island would luve little to sell nnd practically
nothing with which to buy, Vet the imparts
