The Rich Man's Money.
. Ouo of the staudard arguments of
the silverites is that gold is the money
of the rich man. It is not any such
thing. It is tho money of everybody.
When the workingman gets his
dollar he knows that it is worth one
hunbred cents the world over.' He
can take that dollar across the bor
der to Cauada or to Europe and re
ceive its full value. The workiDg
man in Mexico who receives his dol
lar can get for it only between fifty
and sixty cents, and yet they tell us
that this depreciated dollar is the
dollar of the poor man. When did
it come to pass that the dollar of tbe
poor man should not bo ejual to tbe
dollar of the rich man ?
This silver agitation originated
with the mine owners. The Repub
lican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, with headquarters in Wash
ington, has just Usued a statement
giviDg a partial list of the men and
corporations who are behind tbe free
eilver agitation. This list is as fol

And yet they tell us that free sil
ver is the poor nam's money.
If Jefl'ersou could come back it
would make him sick to read the
stuff that is being talked by those
who claim to be following his teach
ings. Keitismcaks should ueed no urg
ing in regard to" tbe matter of being
registered in time to make Bure of
their vote this fall. See to it now
and have it off your mind.
Skcretauy ('allium: is not saying
anything about bis party and itd
ticket, but his sou is declaring that
Bryan is no Democrat and was not
nominated by a Democratic Convention.
Thk first rtraw from Maine is that
of the 187 newspapers iu the State
only nine aie for Bryan and Sewall.
It is well to keep in mind tho fact
that the fame party which four years
ago was offering us free trade is to
day offering tho "free silver" bait.
Speaker Rkfi talks in the sensi
ble style of a man who knows how to
loose a nomination for tbe Presidency
without forfeiting any of his devotion
to his party or any of his zaal and
p.iwer as one of its foremost cham
pions. McKinley's speeches to visiting
delegations gain in excellence as they
increase in number. That is to say,
tho principles that he advocates wear
well, aud his methods of presenting
them appeals forcibly to the intelli
gence and patriotism of the couutrv.
That some may be rich shows that
others may become rich, and hence,
is just encouragement to iuduBtry and
enterprise. Let not him who is
homeless pull down tho house of an
other, but let him labor diligently
and build one for himself, thus by
example assuring that his own shall
be safe from violenco when built.
Ibraham Lincoln.
Thomas B Rekd, the man of
Maiue, was renominated for Congress
Ihursday for the tenth consecutive
time, the Republicans of the First
Maine District being satisfied to keep
Ibe mau of their choice in Congress
until they can see him placed in the
Presidential chair. Mr. Reed's
speech on the occasion is full of
sound senso aud convincing argu
ments. His roccption on the occa
sion was intensely enthusiastic and
complimentary. Oil City BUziard.
Tue resignation of Robert E
Wright as Chairman of the Demo
cratic State Committee, giving as his
reason that he cannot support Bryan
and the Chicago platform, is tho most
serious loss to tho Democracy that it
has sustained for several days, it be
ing remeraberod that just such big
bolts are occurring almost daily
since the Chicago convention ad
journed. His rebuke to the parly is
most scathing and he advocates the
defeat of the ticket as the only mean,
of saving the party from future ruin.
In a letter published in 1892, Gov.
Boies, of Iowa, predicted that the
abolition of the Protective tariff
would 'cause a permanent advauce of
not less than 30c on every bushel of
wheat, 15o on every bushel of corn,
and 2c to 3c on every pound of cot
ton nvhich could possibly be grown
in this country." Mr. Bryan's pro
phecy in that year were to the same
effect. Now similar promises are
based on the adoption of free silver.
The figures given are just as prodigal
and every business man knows that
they are equally worthless.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
was not always tbe representative of
a special interest. On February 20,
1874, speaking in the Senate on the
currency question, he said : "I
want the standard gold, and no pa
per money not redeemable in gold.
By this process we shall come to the
specie basis, and when the laboring
man receives a dollar it will have the
purohasing power of a dollar, and be
will not be called upon to do wbat is
impossible for him or the producing
classes to do, figure upon the ex
changes, figure opon the flunctua
tions, figure upon the gambling in
New York; but he will know what
bis money is worth. Gold is the
universal standard of the world.
Everybody knows what a dollar in
gold is worth." But things are dif
ferent now with Senator Stewart.
A Sew Kind of Parity.
Watson A Gibson of New York are
sending out the following fable in their
latebt market letter. It's a hard nut for
free silverites to crack. The letter says:
"One of the most distinguished bank
ers in this city sends us with the stamp
of his upiroval a very amusing aud In
structive leatiot. It is a fablo entitled the
'Wise Men of Kansas,' and tho scene is
laid in the future. Wo canuot do better
than to quote from it aud thus give It ad
ditional circulation as a specimen of the
clever litoraturo which will be used by
the Republicans iu this campaign.
"Then the governor assembled the wise
uieu iu special session and thus addross
tnom :
" 'Most noble, brave and mighty yeo
men, our people groau. The burden is
heavy upon thorn. Early aud latu they
toil aud eut tho broad ot disappointment
and bitterness. Make yo laws for their
deliverance,'
" 'We are the greatest state in the
union. We are big enough and rich
enough to have a policy of our own re
gardless of what other states may do or
may not do. I.t ns bo patriotic. A
Kausus policy for Kansas is tho noorl of
tbo hour. Wheat is hard to raise m,d tho
yield is liyhi aii'l uncertain ; but we are
great on corn. Tho i.otiou that tho price
must bo the law of supply and demand
is a superstition by mi ana of w hich the
rich plunder and oppress lamest toil.
Make ye therefore a law iu aceordanco
with which sovereign and august statue
corn shall be nut unon a nr with when!
They shall be interchangeable bushel for
bushel, and the prieo of corn shall tie tho
same as the prieo of w heat. Do this, and
the people of Kansas shall rise up and
call you Messed, and all tho world ex
rept the money lenders shall hail you as
tho emancipators of mankind.'
"Tho wise men parsed tho law as the
governor had advised and nil tho people
of the state rejoiced, for their cribs were
full of com. They could hardly contain
themselves till the governor had signed
tho bill which raised tho price of Kansas
corn from Li cents to 45 cents a bushel
All tho people now feel rich. They
oougut ninny luxuries and most of them
went into debt. They wondered thnt
mey nail never before found out that
wealth was simplv a mntter of loiristii
tion. milt thoy felt a creat nitv nm eon
tempt lor tho ignorant and superstitions
people ol other statos. Then thn farmers
from tho other states lxgan hauling their
eern to Kansas. Long lines of wagons
came winding alonir everv rosrl. rtnnia
floated it down the rivers aud railroads
rushed it in from every section of tho
country. It seemed as if the country
w as all corn and it was all headed for
Kansas. Tho people of Kansn ln.L-
their medicine, that is, they took the
corn and gave up their wheat.
"The farmers of, tho other states
thought the Kansas pooplo queer, but
they kept bringing them tholr corn.
Corn ramo in and wheat went out. Anil
besides all the Kansas pooplo had gone
to raising com because It was moro easily
produced than wheal and was to IiHut
Just as much In tho market as w heat, for
me wiso men had decreed that it should.
It was not long until Kansas bnd all of
its own and nearly nil of its neighliors'
corn.
"When the other statos saw this vut
accumulation and knew that It
sooner or later como onto tho market,
ino price or corn began to decline till It
could be purchased anywhere, except in
Kansas, for 10 cents a bushel. In Kansas
tbe price was still 45 cents, which was
the price of w heat, but thero were no
buyers. Neither would anvonn
chauge wheat for their corn. When
ino autumn came the Kansas people did
not have auv wheat for mmx.1. Thnn ti,o
sent to the neighboring states and im-
piureu wie mriners to exchange wheat at
a parity with corn. Rut thn r.rn.or.
said : 'We will exchange one bushel of
neat lor lour and one-half bushels of
corn.' 'Our law,' replied tho Kansas
people, 'puts corn aud w heat on a parity.
They are equal for our wise men said
they should be.' Aud the farmers re
plied: 'Your wiso men are asses; let
them eat your corn.' So the Kausans
went back home, and all their people
were in despair.
"The more corn they had the less It
was worth, and they had nothing but
corn. Pay by day tho times grew hard
er. "The governor again assemblod the
wise men and said to them, 'Most con
autnate, picturesque and gl'ttering goll
darned fools. There is but one biggor
fool than yourselves. It is ho that now
addresses you.'
" 'We thought we could bluff the ever
lasting law of supply and demand with
our statute. We thought we could legis
late valuo into a thing and make our
people rich by a law. Wo thought we
were patriotic. We wore idiotic. Let
us honestly acknowledge our assiuinity,
repeal our old law, get back into line
with the other states, aud imagine no
more that we are wiser than the world. "
Any person desiring first-class
dental work done will do well to boar
in mind that I will be in Tionesta
for the week commencing on tbe first
Monday of each month.
