We have th-m on the run, and only a few weeks remain in which to complete the r mL Tin: county ticket is a good one and should recvive the cordial, earnest soip- jwirt of every Iiepuhlicau voter in the .loutitv. The advance in the price of wheat is Hie kind of an argument that answers sill the sophistries that the free-silver orators are pitchforking to the farmers. IaI evt-rv Keinihlican in the county put forth his bfst etT'irt to give the ci.- t ire ticket. National. State and I ountv. tlie largest majority ever given in the history of the county. "Tin: I'epuhlican policy is uplifting the other is degrading. The one means work and wages, mills and factories, go-id money, good prices and good mar kets; the other means degradation, dis t ress and dishonor." Major McKinley, Ai.THoruH Pennsylvania has given ;me phenomenal Republican majori- lies in the past, the largest of them will not be in it alongside of the one she will give this year. Somerset county should he'p swell the figures by giving :,VM majority. Ch.uumax 15aleock, of the National "ongrcssioiial Committee, says that the work of the committee is practically completed. The reports show, beyond doubt, he says, a safe and sure Ilepubli- euu majority for sound money and pro tective tariff revenue measures. The IU'publican majority in Somer set conn., at tlie last Culiernatorial election, IsiU, was over 3,J0;), the larg est ever given since the organization of the party. The indications all point to an increase! majority this year. It should not fall under 3,500. The gold production of Colorado last year was $17,-VM,(iM, and silver produc tion fl4,2-i(,ittW. Why that State should want to strengthen the Populist idea of lisjieiising with Uitli metals as money is not intelligible. The avowed Popu list doctrine is liat money, and plenty of it Ci.kvei.a Nn's plurality in New York City iu was Tfi.OoO, Hill's in 1S:U was aliout 3,000, and McKinley's this year is estimated liy a sound-money Tammany man at Lit,!

The Treasury statement for Septem b t shows that the Jovernment ran be hind about 2,i kyuiduring the mouth, thus making a total shortage of tM,rm for the first three months of the present li-i-al year, as azainst J',0 M,0.)j tor the corres;;; V. period of last year.

Tiie retsiaining weeks of the campaign will be devoted to mass-meetings, k1c-rai-iug and an earnest ctfort to get out tiie full vote. D.in't neglect to attend the Ilepuhii cin mass meeting to b? held in Somer set on tli evning o ;iUr 27th. This is no tirdinary campaign. Issues ff v;t:il intcrot to the business world, and issues vital to the vt ry isteiicc ff the Commonwealth are involved. You will have an f ppottunity jf hearing tliese issues freely and honestly dis cussed by some of the ablest sieakers in the State at the nuetingen the even ing of theCTth. lorn years ago, says t..e iitthurg Iiispatch, Mr. P.ryan was telling the j-op'ieof the wickedness of a protect ive tariff. The fanner was to become prosperous when the free traders got in power, and everyl.ody was to get for eign goods at ridiculously low r-ivs. Some American nianufactories Utll.t :o to snsasli meanw liile, and some Am f rican workiiigmeu vould prolmbly I.ave to take retluci'd wages, or to walk in idleness, jurhaps, leauso of the change; but these sufferers did not count iu Mr. Bryan's economics. Pro tection to American industries was a wicked business. It would have to go. To some extent Mr. P.ryan and his party sui-ceeded. They rode into power on their prospectus against protection. Now, according to Mr. Bryan, the farm ers worse off than liefore, the work ingiuHn more discontented and nobody as happy or prosperous as in ! Ia t, M r. Bryan aud hU friends iutiu ; . . . A , up a policy of change which immeUi- tdy threatened rnd ultimately para lyzed business. This cut on me reve nue of the producers of the country, nd in consequence the farmer lost a go.nl portion of hid tt market the home market. Relying on the notion that neither the farmer nor worKingman khows what hurt him, Ilryan is now to the front trying to make a fresh trade for power by offering a quack nostrum to cure the wounds he and his associate empirics inflicted after 'Pi Having cut down the annual wages of working- men by their free-trade experiments, they propose now to help the M orking niau to affluence by paying him what is left in depreciated money. Having fought in '92 to lower the prices or com modities, tlu-y now pretend to fight to raise prices. No contradiction is too glaring for them. Everything goes. Hut there is compensation in the con fidence that Mr. r.ryaii win also go, three weeks from next Tuesday. Tiieke has lieeu no change iu the deplorable Congressional situation in this district since our last issue, l p w the t ime of our going to press the Dau phin County Court lias not handed down its decision as to whether tiie name of J. I). I licks or F. J. Kooser shall lie regularly placed upon the ticket, or whether neither was legally nominated. Should the Court decide that neither was law fully nominated, then it is questionable whether a Re publican Congressional candidate can be voted for except by sticker or by writing the name in the blank column of the ticket. Both Mr. Thropp aud Mr. Hicks filed nomination papers, which raises the question whether nomination papers filed by two candid ates in the same district under the same partv appellation is legal, and if so, w hich is entitled to priority. The rule in the State Department is, that where two candidates in a district file nomiii ati.:i papers under the same party iiiiine. neither will be certified. This question will have to lie legally deter mined, should the Court decide neither Mr. Kooser nor Mr. Hicks to lie the regular nominee. Should the rulin of the State Department lie sustained, neither Mr. Thropp nor Mr. Hick: could go on the ticket by nomination naners. aud stickers or writing ttie name would have to be resorted to, Should the Court decide in favor of priority of filing, Mr. Hicks would tome in first, as his pajiers were filed some hours liefore Mr. Thropp' s. Owing to this senseless and unnecessary mud dle, brought aliont by the bullishness and selfishness of two or three men, the campaign iu theentiredistrict has been greatly delayed, aud much harm to the National, as well as to the local ticket in the several counties of the district, has licen done. In the meanwhile Mr. McNamara, the candidate of the party of free trade, free silver, repudiation aud anarchy, is quietly at work, and, as each day passes, sees his chances of representing this district, with, its 12,000 Republican majority, in the next Con gress, grow brighter and brighter. The national campaign, says the Philadelphia Press, has been unusually eventful duriug the last week. Two State elections have been held in the South, where it was hoped by the sup porters of Bryan that large majorities would inspire their followersand assure a solid South for their candidate. The elections in Florida and Ucorgia, how ever, have been sadly disappointing, as they prove that Florida is fairly doubt ful in the national contest, and that ticorgia will give Bryan only a small majority. 1 wo significant events occurred on Friday. In Chicago the friends of s.und money turned out 1 1)0,000 strong in a daylight march through the streets of that city, embracing all classes and conditions, and iu that immense pro cession the working men of Chicago were eminently conspicuous. In the evening, the followers of Ilryan made a demonstration, and even the rejuirt of the New York Journal, the only Bryan organ in New York city, admits that the sound money demonstration was three times larger than that made for Bryan. It has settled the attitude of Chicago in this contest, and seems to have settled beyond peradveuture that Illinois will vote for McKinley by a very large majority. The usual registrations liegan in New- York city anil Brooklyn on Friday, and they have been unexampled in magni tude. Never before in the history of modern politics have the iecple of New York exhibited such intense desire to qualify themselves to vote. The in creased registrations of New York and Brooklyn exceeded the ordinary regis tration by over 30 per cent, and it is now no longer doubted that New York and Brooklyn will poll the largest vote ever cast for President, ami that Mc Kinley will carry both cities by decided majorities. Bryan has continued his oratorical journey throughout the country, but the enthusiasm of his reception in the West seems steadily on the wane. It is there that he must make his battle, and it is plainly evident that his reccji-ti-u in the West on his return from his tour in the Fast falls far short of the receptions given him when he started from his home. In other words, the evidence is conch-si ve that the cheap money craze is steadily dying out, and that the people of the West, who are naturally as honest as the people of the K-ist, have lieeti studying the money question from tiie stand Mint of public and private integrity, and that the cause of sound money is gaining with each day. The result of the week show s unmistakable advance on the McXin ley side, and corresjioiiding retrogres sion on the Bryan side. The national election is now only three weeks distant, and w ith the tide iu favor of sound money growing in every section of the country, and with the great I-jistera and Middle States no longer doubtful, all indications must lie at fault if McKinley shall uot lie t K-cd Presinent by the largest msijnr ity evvr given to any candidate for the highest civil trust of the world. 1363 and 1898.

The question of the right of a State to secede from the In ion was of no greater danger to the nation than is the assump tion that the Federal Government is without legal authority to deal with a mob that otistruct the movement of inter state commerce and the carriage of the mails or that the executive should not protect the public credit as authorized by law, or that the right of contract ought to be abridged, or that the standard of value w hereby all transactions have been measured for a hundred years should be sliolished.

Bom PUia Truthf Waica Agitaton Of- tea Ignors. William C. Cornwell, Buffalo, X. W addressed the School of Finance at Buffa lo on the money question aud spoke iu part as lollows: "I do not hotiute to say that the mon ey Kwer is for McKinley and the gold standard. But I follow this up with the inquiry. What is the money power in this country? and with this reply: The money power is the power that furnishes and controls the cash aud cash credits of the I'nited States. This power is concentrat ed in the hands of the banks, the loau as sociations, the mortgage companies and the insurance companies. There are a few individual luniks, but they are in a small minority. A bank is one of the niacbiuea of business The capital is generally furnished by hundreds of peo ple, most of them in moderate circum stances, who, take shires of stin k and put in the money to start with. The greater part of the bank's money is, bow- ever, tue property ol small deiosiiora and business men, hundreds and thou sands of t hem for each bank, and the av erage amount placed on deposit is small. Taken altogether, however, the whole makes up a very large sum, which the bank ollicer is expected to loan out and invest safely, but must always tie ready to pay back to the depositor in cash. "The liankcr, then, against whom we bear so much abuse from ignorant quar ters, is the paid servant who looks after the interests of the entire institution, the Interests of thousands of people in each institution, and, although he must have more experience than the man who digs or the man who takes care of horses, he is nevertheless a "hired man.' When Mr. Bryan was iu Buffalo be took special pains to stigmatize bankers, but iu his speech in Xew York, and in alt his speeches, he has shown such great ignor ance on the sul jeet of banking that I am inclined to think that it is his age more than anything else that is at fault. Youth is a magnificent quality, hut it is better on a ranch than ii an executive chair, es pecially if such things are said, as have to le concerning Mr. Bryan, namely, for instance, that what he knows aliout finance is not so, rnd that in all his ninety-seven speeches in the 'enemy's coun try,' not one of his arguments will stand the test of calm, xl investigation, based on facts and experience. The banks of the United States are mainly trustees of the people's money, employed on salary, and expected so to conduct the affairs of the bank that the greatest lienefit will come to their stockholders, to their de positors, to the whole business of the lo cality by means of careful loaning. Kach hank, savings bank, and trust company is made up in about the same way.

They are the shareholders in the loan associations, and in the aggregate, each owning a little, are heavy stockholders in our great railway and industrial corporations.

I Why Labor, If the GoTernment Caa Craate Money i From a peech delivered by S-jcretary of Agriculture, Newton, at Chicago on Friday, Oct. 9. 'A dollar with too much purchasing power is as Impossible as a square meal with too much nutritive power, an acre of land with too much productive capaci ty, or an advocate of poptibatic schemes of finance with too much logical ability. When humanity becomes too g-iod for j heaven, money may liecome too good for ! the industrious and capable farmers and wage-earners of America, but not liefore. "It is an agricultural fact that, as a measure of value and mediator of ax change, money was evolved from pasto ral life. Pecania, meaning 'money,' came from Pecus, meaning 'a flock -And in ancient timessbeep were counted out and used as money with which to val ue and exchange other things hence our word 'pecuniary.' And in those honest days no one attempted to pass off part of an animal for a whole one, or to impose a lean or diseased one upon the currency as fat and heavy. There were no fiat sheep. "Capital is money saved to put into business to reproduce itself. And this word 'capital' is also of farm origin, de rived from the word caput 'a head' aud he who had the most head of animals was the greatest capitalist. Then, as now, business men who reasoned thought it a good thing to have weights. Gold bull ion, if wo can believe history, was, no doulit, the first thing man ever placed iu a balance and weighed. From weights measures were evolved, until now govern ments fix the weight and measure by which cereals, fruit, vegetables aud many other products may be bought and sold iu all parte of the civilized world. But no where do governments attempt to fix the prices of these things. Everybody known how many pounds of corn and how many pounds of wheat make a bushel, because the law defies the quantity in weight. J Aud so the law tells how many grains of gold make a United Suites dollar or an Knglish pound. "And tho statute can no more fix the purchasing power of either coin than it can fix the price of corn and wheat. If an alleged statesman should propose to establish, by statute, a permanent valu e for all farm products or to institute an indexible ratio between cornmeal and wheat flour, without regard to any other appetite, stomach or brain on earth but his own, even Populists would doubt his san ity. "The Grocian talent mentioned in the Odyssey was among the earliest coined gold money, and bore upon it the image of a cow or ox. Those animals were used as money in larger exchanges as sheep were in the smaller, and as the latter were pictured on the earliest silver, so the former were depicted on the most primi tive gold coins Silver and gold were desired in the arts aud for ornaments. And liecause they were desired there was demand for them. The word 'value' is derived from the Latin word valere, 'to pass for or instead of.' Thus it is obvious that the ancient idea of money was that it could uot tie made valuable except out of something that itself had value before it became money. It had to tie made out of a commodity that needed no legislation to create a demand for it out of a commod ity most universally desired and there fore most generally demanded as a good measure or standnrd with which to com pare other valuables. "Strip gold of the legal tender quality. Who would not then take for his dues de monetized gold, when the chance offered, instead of legal tender silver? But if the power exists in legislation to make two metals equal as money, then the same power can make silver and gild e;ju il in the arts and for jewelry. Th'is a silver watch would become as desired aud gen erally demanded as a gold one, and silver rings set w ith bits of brickbats and an thracite coal might by law liecome as val uable as gold rings set with rubies and diamonds. If the United States can dou ble the price of the world's silver by en actment, why can it not also double the price of garnets or wheat or pork or any other exchangeable thing by the same necromancy ? "Why labor, why toil, if wealth, value and the substance of things can be legis lated into being? Why not plow fields by preamble, harvest crops by joint reso lution, garner tbem by enactment and subsist mankind at large by that creative power which Populism vests in lawmak ers ?" Why the 5. T. Joaraal ii for Free SilTer. The "Evening Journal"' of Xew York is the evening edition of the "Morning Journal." Both are owned by Mr. Wm K. Hearst, of San Francisco, who also owns other newspapers Mr. Hearst is a very wealthy silver owner. He is vice- president of the Ontario Silver Mine in Utah. The capital stock of that mine. even at its inflated value, is jlj,01.J3, and the dividends so far paid aggregUo ?!:!,:! I O.onO. But the mine is not produ cing silver ore to its full capacity. Are port from its officials states: "While the output of the Ontario Mine might be in creased, the wisdom of such a policy in view i f the possibility of a better price for silver is very .questionable." In other woids product has been curtailed in the hope that the free silver coinage campaign may tie successful, when the profits would be enormously increased. The dividends already paid nearly equal the entire cap ital stock. Under free silver coinage the profits of that one mine, if the product were no greater than last year, would tie increased to the amount of $710,030. For thesilver ore already sold by that mite 10.21 1,8.17 has been ' received, according to its official reports, but only 113.310.000 has boeu paid out in dividends. There is a large surplus in its treasury. Mr. Hearst, the proprietor of the "Jour nal," is also vice-president of the Daly Silver Mine Company, which owns the Daly Mine. This mine is capitalized at gi.O'iO.O'f) aud it has paid in dividends liSsT-m The last dividend was a 25 per cent. one. That is the enormous prof it made without free coinage. Mr. Hearst ts also Interested in other mines It has been stated that his personal prof its on ore would lie increase ) at least $100, 000 a yoar should the Bryan campaign be successful. It can bo easily understod how these mineowners can afford to ex pend large sums on newspapers and otherwise to prom He tha free silver campaign.

Mr. Bryan to tho Pensioners. From thcl'tiitadelphia Ucconl. In his speech in Iudianaoolis Mr. Bry an undertook to console the pensioners for the prospective 5J-cent dollar with this happy suggestion: "If tho solder looks at the money question merely from the standpoint of his own interest he must remember that his pension is only property, aud that if he legislates the vat ueuf the dollar up while he rai-ies the I purchasing power of his pension he w ill decrease the value of w hatever other property he has." . This is the most naive aud eaniiid confession ttist the Popocralic champion has yet made of tho effect ol free silver coiuago to decrease tho pur chasing power of the soldier's pension. To have la-en entirely candid, however, he should have added that the value of the silver dollar, or itspurchasiug power would be decreased to the value of the metal in iL That value is about fifty cents to-day ; but neither he nor any one else cau predict that it might not fall still lower after free coiuage. But lo tho veteran who may lie fortu nate enough toowu a small farm, or a horse and eov, or "other property," Mr. Bryan gives tue pleasing a-tsoraiieo that this "other property" would lie enhanced in value by free coiuage, and that he would thus be more than compensated for the decline iu the purchasing pow-er of his pension. . The value of the Government pension of 12 or 15 a month would be a small matter in comparison with the in flated prices which the l'opocrat ie candi date promises to the fanner pensioners of Iudiana aud Illinois for their wheat aud corn. The inlluted prices which these pensioners would be obliged to pay for farm implements, household furniture and clothing for their families are, of course, excluded from the account. To tho pensioners who have no farms or "other property" Mr. Bryan presents the higher consideration that "by raising the purchasing power of their pension they mua rememoer inai mey are conuemii- ing their children and their children's children to the injustice of a gold stand ard." Such an appeal to the benevolent impulses ought not to be hist on the vet eran pensioners Mr. Bryan exhorts them to gently submit to the chipping of the purchasing power of the money with w hich those pensions are paid in order that the like blessing of depreciated cur rency and the like relief from the gold standard may lie transmitted to future generations! This it must be said, is taking a long look aheaiL But in a mat er of this kind coming generations may be well left to take of themselves "Pos terity !" exclaimed another great states man of tho Bryan class on a similar oc casion ; "what has jsisterity ever done for us?" It is enough for the veterans to learn from the heresiarch of Adulterated Money and Repudiation himself that free coinage would decrease the purchasing power of their pensions The veterans will lie apt to think of it before submitting to this process of depletion for the more than dubious tencfU of posterity. While Mr. Bryan was thus haranguing the pensioners and giving the case of free coinage away a voice in the crowd ex claimed that the greenbacks with which the soldiers were paid in the civil war were "worth forty cents on the dollar." Upon this tho I'oji'icratic candidate said : "The very men who arc now so much afraid that the soldier will rex-eive his pension in 50 cent dollars were not afraid to pay him for his service iu 40-eent dol lars measured 'y gold." The rases are not parallel, although the results of free silver coinage would lie the samo as were the results of the greenbacks issue. The issue of greenbacks was a mistake growing out of the sincere belief that the government credit would be strong enough to maintain them at a parity with gold ; but a like experiment of fre coin ag in face of that lesson would be a crime. While a few predicted the effect of the greenbacks issue, they were uu heeded. Just as the Siiverites persist in rejecting the sano counsels now. But no one desired that the greenbacks should d ?pro,-i.ito, ia 1 ih n ri'j thi solliers the wage-earners and all having investments of savings Asthe credit of the Uovcrn inent revived the greenbacks gradually appreciated in value until they were finally redeemed in gold. Free coiuage of silver, on the other hand, with the full knowledge of its con sequences would be deliberate and wau ton robliery. The greenbacks were is sued with the honest intention of redeem ing them in gold ; b-it there is no such in teution in regard to the silver dollars. So far from it, free coinage of silver would relieve the Government of the obligation and at tho same time deprive it of the power of redeeming this adulterated mon ey in gold. That is the difference between the greenbacks aud free coinage ; and Mr. Bryan would have perceived th it all the advantage in the score of financial morality is with the greenliacks had he not become completely bliuded by fanatical rage against the gold standard of value, under which every man receives tbat to which he is entitled iu the ex change of commodities and services Wheat and Corn Outlook. Xew York. OjL 8. In its issue for the current week the American Agricultur ist says: Actual threshing returns from all winter and spring wheat States show the total wheat crop of the United States for 'i to be 470,000,000 bus., against 400,000.000 bushels last year. The pr ent returns of yield per acre, as reorted by actual threshing results from the en tire wheat belt, is 13-3 bushels winter and 13.3 bushels spring. According to final reports the paper says the oats crop for ls-Kj is 717,J'iO,O0O bush., against JO,OilO,0O0 bush, in 1S& The average yield per acre is 23.6 bush els. The general quality is, perhaps the worst on record. Xot only is the grain extraordinarily light, but heavy rains at and after harvest greatly damaged it, and the proportion of merchantable oats will be unusually small. The paper further states that the general condition of corn October 1 was &).3 and hints that the crop will finally measure but little if any un der 2,50'',O.K),OJ.I bushels. WJP3050NOCK, PA.

It grows out of an old Pennsylva iiiaGerman custom, once very popular, but which has almost fallen into disuse save in a few localities. It dates from the days of indenture of female servants, who at the time of their marriage, if they w ere fail hull employees, were rewarded w ith a wed ling o'ltflt, or " h i if stm ir," as it is popularly called in the country districts. Mr. Weisner is a well-known farmer of Alabama Township. Mis. Henry testified that went on his farm w hen she was seven years old; that when she w as grow n up he paid her wages; that it had always lieen understood that she should have a w edding outfit; that she worked in the field, spreading ma nure aud helping to load hHy, beside do ing housework, and that, at the age of twenty-two, she was married to William Henry, against tho opposition of Mr. Weisner, and that, although she asked f r the eastom iry "h tus-si'.-iar," ho re fusal to give it to her. 'Squire James S.-'jrader, a well-known Justice of the l'yace, liefore whom the case was first tried, gave judgment in Mrs. lle.ury's favor for $312 as the value of what Mr. Weisner should have given her. On the stand Squire Schrader s od that a" haus-steiar" in th.-it mighbor hood meant "a cow, pig, chickens, two led rooms furnished, stove, carpet, smok ed meat of a pig, sau sage, a parlor fur nished kitchen stove, dishes, tubs, buck ets and tinware."

Temple Houston, sou of the famous first Governor of Texas Sam Houston, shot and killed Judge J. B. Jennings of Woodward, 50 miles west of here, last night. Judge Jennings was a well-known Iowa jurist, and Houston, his slayer, is one of the leading Demo cratic silver orators and politicians iu the West. He has served several terms in the Texas aud Territorial legislatures and was a delegate to the Chicago con vention and Bryan's most pronounced supporter there.

Love, the sheriff of the county, who Is a friend of Houston, for the mur der, bui they were acquitted. Last Monday Judgo Jennings met Houston's little son on the sidewalk and spit in tho little fellow's face. As soon as Houston arrived home his boy told him of this, and Houston immediately buck led on his gun and went out to find Jen nings They met in a saloon. Houston shoved a pistol iu Jennings's breast and tired. Jennings fell back in the arms of a friend, and Houston gave himself up to tho ollieers SPECIFIC for Scrofula.

Chlcuso Tiiiies-lternlJ. Mr. Dryan is quite partial to that form of argument which in known a the ar gu men turn ad hominem. He like to confound his adversary with somo form er utatement or declaration he raiy have made. He is now going around tha country ascriHng the fall of prices to tho hateful gold standard. He did not always think no, ai the following quotation from a apcech delivered in cotigre", March PI, lf!M, shown. Ho is discussing the cause of low prices and says: You must attribute it to the inventive genius that has multiplied a thousand times, iu many instances, tho sirength of a single arm, and enables us to do to-day with ono man what 50 men could not do 50 years ago. That is what has brought down prices In this country and every where." So thought and spoke William J. Bry an Pair years ago and he was right.
