THE DECLARATION OF INDE
PENDENCE.
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, an<l
hm» been a member of the State Senate for
several terms.
Wallace Nominated.
The Republicans of Lawrence county
held their judicial primary last Saturday,
and W. D. Wallace Esq. secured nearly as
many vote* as his two competitors Messrs
Gardner and McConnell, combined. The
returns give Mr. Wallace 1,858 votes, J as.
D. Gardner 1,950 and Malcolm McConnell
903.
Wallace was bora in New Castle in 185 i;
he is a son of Dr. Jag. J. Wallace; read law
with Dana & Long, and was admitted to
the Bar in 1882. That his nomination i.<* a
surprise to the people of this county goes
without saying.
THB outrageous conduct of the rapacious
Chicago hotel keepers towards the visitors
to tho Windy City last week has been the
subject of comment all over the country.
Hotel rates were ran np to extortionate
figures and visitors were swindled right
and left, being compelled to submit be
cause they could not help themselves. If
this is the sort of treatment the people of
this and other countries are to expect dur
ing the Columbian Exposition, our advice
will be for people to stay away from
Chicago. The repacious money getters
have over-reached themselves and began
their robbery about a year too soon. The
people are alive to the situation, and they
will not submit.

Democratic Denunciation.
The Tariff, Money and Pension planks
of the Democratic Platform are both inter
esting and amusing. They are as follows:
SBC. 3.- We denounce the republican pol
icy of protection as a frand on the lal>or 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«ts for the
adoption of one or other of these ratios.
All the world's experience has demonstrat
ied that the true ratio lies somewhere in
the neighborhood of tho French or the
American,! and between them there is not
any fundamental difference. JF the choice
b« limited to these two tho French «Mi<:
would n*euj to be preferable.
The demonetkation of silver did not
take from the world's circulation tne Hilver
coinage. Silver has been coined since-at the
same ratio. It is estimated that there arc in
round numbers, $1,000,000,000 of European
silver in use as money at the ratio of 1 to
I. The report of the Secretary of iije
Treasury shows our stock of silver to have
been on November 1, 1891, #539,241,1124,
coined or to be coined at the ratio of 10 to
1.
Now, biinotalism is a desideratum be
cause ol the growing need of money in the
world's constantly ii»res.sine commerce.
Any change in tho ratio towards cheapening
the gold price of silver must result in dis
traction of the world's currency arid defeat
to that extent the object sought to be ob
tained by a international conference. The
adoption of the ratio of 16 to I, instead of 1 ">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,<XX>.
It promises to be a very dear bridge for
Wayne township.

Resolutions of Respect.
At a regular meeting of John 11. Ran
dolph Post >*o. 404.Dept. of Pennsylvania,
June 25, 1892, the following action was
taken:
This Post has learned with sincere sor
row that the all-wise Captain and Creator
of the Universe has seen fit ti» take from
us to Himself our loved and respected com
rade and first commander, Jas. Y. English,
who was a charter member of our Post.
His wise judgment and positive manner
and punctual attetndanee made him a val

manner and positive deportment combined
with a true consideration for the feelings
of his comrades, citizens and neighbors.and
his Christain character endeared him to all
who knew him.
That a copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of the deceased, and a copy
be placed on the minutes of this Post, and
also be published in the county papers.
