Ob the 4th day of July 1776, one hun dred and sixteen years ago, the "Continen tal Congress," then in session in Philadel phia formally adopted that memorable in strument oalled "The Declaration of Inde pendence," which declared the thirteen English oolonies lying along the shore of the Atlantic to be a free and Independent nation. . On the following day the Congress '' Resolved, That copies of the Declara tion be sent to the several Assemblies, Conventions , and Councils of Safety, ana to the several Commanding Officers of the Continental troops, that it be proclaimed in each of the United States, and at the head of the Army." And on the same day, or day or two fol lowing, John Hancock, the President of the Congress, sent copies of the Declara tion to of the Colonies that had adopted a permanent government, and to the Councils or Committees of Safety of those Colonies which had not yet formed regular governments, in each case accom panying the document with the following letter. "1 do myself the honour to enclose, in obedience to the commands of Congress, a copy of the Declaration of Independence, which yon will please to have proclaimed in your Colony, in such war and manner as you fudge best The important censeqnenoes resulting to the American States from thia Declaration of Indepen dence, considered as the ground and foun dation of a future government, will natu rally suggest the propriety of proclaiming it In sac ha mode that the people may be universally informed of it' At that time hostilities had already been in progress between the Continental and .English armies for some months; George Washington, a member of the Congress, had been appointed Commander in Chief, and on the Bth of Jaly President Hancock seat a copy of the Declaration to General Washington, accompanied by a letter in which he laid: "The Congress have fudged it necessary to dissolve the connection between Great Britain and the American Colonies, and to declare them free and independent States, aa iroa will preceive by the enclosed decla ration, which I am directed to transmit to s£Si3'« ttSrt'-'L 381 Sf> *' most proper." Thia waa reoeired by Qen. Washington <« the 9th, and he immediately iaaaed the following order: "The Continental Congress, impelled by the dictates of dnty, policy, and necessity, hare been pleased to dissolve the connec tion which subsisted between this country and Great Britain, and to declare the United Colonies of America Free aud In dependent States. The several brigades are to be drawn np this evening on their reepecth-e parades at six o'clock, when the Declaration of Congress, showing the Rounds and reasons of this measure, is to read with an audible voice. The Gen eral hopee that this important event will serve as a fresh incentive to every* officer and soldier to act with fidelity ana cour age, as knowing that now the peace and safety ot this country depend, under God, solely on the tncoess of our arms; and that ho is now in tbs service of a State possess od of sufficient power to reward his merit, and advance him to the highest honors of a free country." The army at that time was encamped on Manhattan island, and that evening the brigades wore formed in a hollow square, on and about the ground where the City Hall of Now York City now stands; and the Declaration was read to it in a clear anddoud voice by one of Washington's aids, the army joining, at the conclusion of the reading, in three hearty cheers. Pennsylvania was the first State to take action on the Declaration. Its Committee of Safety was then in session in Philadel phia, and ordered as follows: "Thjj President of the Congress this day sent the following Resolve of Congress, which is direeted to be entered on the If ia • a tee, to this Board." (Here follows the resolution of the Con tinental Congress.) "In consequence of the above Resolve, Letters were wrote to the Counties of Bucks, Chester, Northumberland, Lancas ter and Borks,enclosing a copy of said Dec laration, requesting the same to be pub lished on Monday next (July Bth), at the places where the election or Delegates are to be held. "Ordered, That the Sheriff of Philadel phia read or oanso to be read and proclaim ed at the State House in the City of Phila delphia, on Monday, the Bth day of July instant, at twelve o'clock at noon of the same day, the Declaration of the Repre sentatives of the United Colonies of Amer ica, and that ho cause all his Officers and the Constables of the said city to attend the reading thereof. "Resolved, That every member oi this Committee in or near the city be ordered to meet at the Committee Chamber before twelve o'clook on Monday, to proceed to the State House, where the Declaration of Independence is to be proclaimed. "The Committee jf Inspection of this City and Liberties were requested to attend the proclamation at the State House, on Monday next, at twelve o'clock." And in accordance with this action, the Declaration was read to a large audience from a platform near the Walnut street front of the State House on the Bth, and that evening the King's Coat of Arms in the Court room ou the second floor of the building, was torn from its place and cast into a bonfire. The Declaration was received with en thusiasm all over the colonies, and there wore processions and illumination* in every town, and at some places there were mock funerals at which Georgo the Third was solemnly buried. The celebration at Savannah, Georgia, did not take place till Aug. 10th, and at their mock funeral of George, the orator of the day wound up with the following par ody of the "committal service" in the Church of England's "Service for the Bur ial of the Dead." "Forarmuoh as George the Third, of Great Britain, hath most flagrantly violat ed his coronation oath, and trampled upon the Constitution of our country and the sa cred rights of mankind, We therefore com mit his political existence to the ground, corruption to corruption, tyranny to the grave, and oppression to oternal infamy,in sure and oortain hope that he will never obtain a resurrection to rule again over these United States of America * ' * But, my friends and fellow-citisens, let us not be sorry as men without hope for ty rants that depart; rather, let us remember. America is free and independent. That ahe is and will be, with the blessing of the Almightv. great among the nations of the earth' "Let this encourage us in well do ing, to fight for our rights and privileges, for our wives and children, for all that is near and dear to us. May God give us his blessing, and let all the people say, amen:' Ok Wednesday, President Harrison »ent in the name of Gen. Jno. W. Foster of Indi ana to the Senate for Secretary of State, and the Senate promptly confirmed the nomi nation. Meeting of the National Committee. The Republican National Committee met in Washington, Monday, and selected William J. Campbell of Illinois for Chair man, M. H. De Young of California for I Vice Chairman; Thomas Carter of Mon tana for Secretary, C. I*. Bliss of New York for Treasurer and F. L. Swords of lowa for Sergeant at Arms. _Mr. Fessenden of Connecticut offered the following resolution, which was adopt ed: That in accordance with the rule adopt ed by the Republican National committee an executive committee of nine, composed of members of this committee or of others not members thereof, shall have the con duct and management of the campaign of 1892, and that the Chairman ef this com mittee after conference with the candi dates shall select the members of such ex ecutive committee and its officers. Resolved, further, that the chairman, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer of this committee shall be ex-officio members of said executive committee. A resolution thanking Ex Chairman Clarkson for his services was adopted, and Clarkson in his reply lauded Quay and Dudley. The new Chairman was born in Phila delphia in 1850, but his parents moved to Illinois next year. He is a lawyer, anor of the great minority of the American people for the beneht of the few. We declare it to be a fundamental prin cipal of the Democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and oollect tariff duties except for the purpose of rovenue only,and we demand that the collection'of such taxes shall be limi ted to the necessities of the government when honestly and economic ally administered. SEC. 7.—We denounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act of 1890 as a cowardly makeshift fraught with possibilities of danger in the 1 uture which should make all its *uppo r ters, UH WO U as its author, anxious for its xpeedy repeal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard m on ®y °f the country, and to the coinage of both o ld and silver without discriminati on against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be ad justed through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation as shall insure the maintains nee of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts, and we de mand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as espec ially necessary for the protection of the farmers and laboring classe H, the first and most defenceless victims of unstable mon ey and a fluctuating currency. SBC. 13, —This (invention hereby re news the expression of appreciation of the patriotism of tho soldiers and sailors ot the Union in the war for its preserva tion, and we favor just and liberal pen sions for all disabled Union Soldiers, their widows and dependents, but we demand that the work of the I'enson Office shall be done industriously, impartially and hon estly. We denounce the present admin istration of that office as incompetent,cor rupt, di»gr%qaftil and dishonest. Re-union of the Porter Family. About u hundred of the descendants of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Porter, formerly of WeitDeer towpship, Allegheny County, had a re-union at the home of John Conley, in Adams township, near Mars Station, H few days ago. The children of tho original couple, Ross, Wm., John and Jaines Porter, Mury Cunningham, Nancy Conley, Mattie Cleudenning and Jennie Taggert are all dead, and it was their children and grand children who met at Mr. Conley's. Everybody took well filled baskets and enjoyed the day. Hpeeches were made by John Hopkins, Esq. Ilutchman, Hamuel McCallister, J. C. Porter and A. C. Tag- Sert,and a club,to be known as tho Porter llcock club was organized, with J. C. Porter as Presideut, and A. C. Taggert as Secretary. Those present from Butler county, wore J. Graham and family, oi Maharg, Mrs. M. Kramer, John, Robert, James, Andrew and Joseph Conley and their families, and Esq. Ilutchman and family of Mars. Home of the coaiins came from a distance to at tend the reunion—Campbell Taggert came from Philadelphia; Mrs. Kelly from Chat tanooga and itobt Carley aud family from Colorado. The club expects to meet each year and ba« several invitations, one being from Mr. Graham of Maharg. —Some three thoasaud men are "out" ut Homestead, and trouble is expected. What Shall the Ratio Be ? If the leading monetary powers of the world shall enter into an agreement for the coining of both silver and gold with out restriction, and for making them severally, or jointly, full legal tender for the payment of all debts, the practical business question is, what shall be the ratio f The question of the relations of the precious metals to each other and to com merce is recognised as a difficult one, about which it is wise not to batard any too positive opinions. The question as to an international ratio is very different from the question as to a ratio lor the establishment ot bimetal isin in one country alone. In the determi nation of the latter question, the exist ing gold price of silver would be a material factor, while in the determination of the former it is not of so much importance. Prior to 1873 the commercial ratio of silver to gold maintained a remarkable uniformity. Up to that year from the beginning of the Christian era the points of variance were at the one extreme 14.40 of silver to one of gold, and at the jttier 16.25 of silver to 1 ol gold. From the time when France, in 1903, began the free coinage of gold and silver at a ratio of 154 to 1. until 1873, when silver was demon etised by Germany, and it* coinage re stricted by the Latin Union, the relative value of gold and silver in use in Europe did not vary appreciably from the ratio fixed by French law. In the United States the legal ratio was fixed at first at 15 to 1, and subsequently at 16 to 1. But in 1873 a change ensued. Between that date and the present the relative commercial value of silver to gold has varied from 15.92 to 1 in the former year to 20.92 to 1 in 1801. '•The great underlaying cause of the de cline in the in the price of silver," says Mr. Leech, director of the Mint, "has been very accurately and concisely summond up in the report of the Koyal Commission ou on Gold and Silver, 1888 : "Tho action of the Latin Union in 1873 broke the link between silver and gold which had kept the former, as measured by the latter, constant at about the legal ratio; and when this link waa broken the silver market was open to the influences of all the factors which go to effect the price of a commodity. These factors happen, since 1873, to have operated in the direc tion of a fall in the gold price of that met al." It would appear, then, that the practical fixity of the relative value of gold and sil ver at a ratio of 13J to 1 from 1803 to 1873 was due principally te legislation, and that the separation ol the metals thereafter in relative value was likewise doe in largost part to legislation. The proposition that an international agrooment shall be re-e» tablished bimetallism is a practical con cession to that effect, since its purpose is to restore, if possible, "the broken link." The link that bound gold and silver to geter as money was a law (for an agree ment equivalent thereto) that the coinage of both should be free at a fixed ratio of 15J to 1. The action that broke that link, and destroyed that heretofore existing monetary equilibrium between the metals, which the repeal in practice of the opera tion of that law. Would not a re-enact ment of the law in its entirety by interna tional agreement restore the link and with it the old-time mometary situation t lu other words, is not either tho French or Ainercan ratio—a ratio heretofore proven practicable'of maintenance, by experience the true one to pe returned to 1 If it be assumed that the relative value of the two metals depends more than any ' thin* eus on their value for the purposes of mousy as lix<»u y—, it wouiu seem l that the strongest argument »i to 1 for instance, would make a differeuw* of 3 per cent, iu the aggregate of European silver; that is to the European stock whon recoiued. as it would ,'iavo to be, would lose from its aggregate currency yalue 33,000.000, and there would be tho cost of recoinage in addition. The adoption of the ratio of 15A to 1, ou the other hand, woeld be, ipso far to, a re monetization of the ontiro European stock of silver True Ihe adoption oi th}s ratio would necessitate the recoinage of the American stock, but the margin its legal ratio 16 to J, and the French ratio 15J to 1, amounting to 3 per cent, would sulhice to pay the cost of recoinage. AH the United Ktates are the largest sil ver producers in the world, is goes without saying that the French ratio would suit their material interests better than the ratio now in use by themselves. The ob jections that could be urged to any partic ular ratio that may be suggested may be I conceded to tie numerous; in other words, | bimetallism can only be established inter nationally in the face oi apposition and by mutual concession ou tne part of its friends; but is to be hoped that »uch con cessions may he made and that tho eauso may triumph at whatever figure the ra'.io 1 may be fired. JOHN DALZKLL. THK I'eople's I'arty in convention at Franklin last week adopted some novel ideas, as follows: That all new inventions be purchased by the (iovernment for tho nse of the people. That a per capita tax of SIOO ho laid on all alien laborers. The equalization of taxation. Free text books fur the schools. The suppression of Pinkertou detectives. Ths election of President., Vice Presi dent, U. S. Senators, Postmasters and Judges by the people. Female suffrage and the legal equality of women. National measures for tho regulation of the liquor traffic. Denounces the Baker ballot law. Demands the dissolution of the Heading railroad deal. Demands a service pension bill. Each plank of the platform • was fully discussed. The warmest contest wm ou tho following "That the employers of ailen labor be compelled to pay SIOO per capita annually on each alien so employed for a term of five years." It was finally adopted. On motion, a committe was appointed to convey to tho striking iron workers ut Homestead the sympathy of the conven tion. BBBJAMI.* A. WIJITKBBITX, a leading Democratic attorney at the Lawrence Co. bar, and who has frequently stumped tho state for the Democrats, has bolted the Cleveland Stevenson ti ket and he has spoken publicly as follows: "I never was a free-trader, I am not a free-trader, and I never will be a free trader: and as the Democratic platform is a free trade plat form you may say for me, as publicly as you choose, that, 1 will not support such a platform nor vote for its nominee*." Costly Carelessness. Wayne township, in our neighboring' county of Lawrence, has just had a costly lesson in regard t<> defective bridges. On July 1. 1891, a traction engine and tender owned by Hymn M. Shaffer was crossing a bridge which broke down under their weight. A younger brother and three oth er men accompanied Him on the engine and thresher and all went down together, and all sustained more or less severe in juries. Suits were brought against Wayne township for gross negligence in not keep j ing the bridge in proper repair and for damages. They came on for trial at Xew Castle. It was proven that the part of the bridge wichh broke down was decayed.. The defense set up by Wayne township was that the bridge was amply safe, when built, for ordinary travel. Traction en gines on public roads were quite unknown at that time aud the township was not bonnd to provide highways for extraordi nary loads, the claim of the defense being that a traction engine was an nnnsual weight for a bridge. The plaintiff's coun sel maintained that the township was lia ble for want of proper care in repairing the bridge. The highway wa* a state road much traveled and used by heavy loads, The use of traction engines was considered to be common on the highways and their growing use was boned to be tak en notice ot by the supervisors and roads and bridges put in condition to meet the needs of travel. The use of traction en gines is authorized but regulated by act of assembly. The defense took the position liable that the supervisors were only for ordinary care and to provide for ordinary travel and that the township is not liable un less negligence in construction and mainte nance is proven. The use of timber in the bridge for 10 years is not implied notice of defect or decay. The defense also claimed that a traction engine wasan unusual weight fur the bridge and that a traveler with an engine was bound to take notice of the strength or weakness of the bridge before he ventures on it, and if he did attempt to cross it he did «> at at his own risk. The jury returned a verdict for SISOO, aud the claims of the others were settled for SIOSO more. There is still another suit to be brought. A fourteen-year old brother of Shaffer was on the thresher when it went down with th.i bridge, and he was so badly injured that he was un able to be at ronrt. He was made a crip ple for life, and in a short time his attor neys will begin a suit for damages against the township for the sum of S,JU,. It promises to be a very dear bridge for Wayne township.
