The Real Remedy.
With wise tariff measures the money
question would regulate itself. If the
American manufacturer is sufficiently
protected so that he can pay gooa wages
and run his establishment full time with
out the fear of European competition,
there will be plenty of work and good
wages in this country. The people will
then have money to purchase those
things which are made here, as well as
many things made abroad that do not
come into competition with our home
manufacturers. Thus the revenues are
swelled and home business revived.
Money is plentyful, and the farmer com
mands a good price and ready sale for
his products. By judicious reciprocity
treaties and extensive foreign market Is
obtained for our products, and foreign
products are secured for our people at
the lowest price. This foreign market
creates a favorable balance of trade, and
the gold flows into the United States in
stead of going out, for gold is used all
over the world to pay balances. But if,
on the contrary, the is so adjusted
as to let in foreign manufactursd goods
•o low as to compel our own manu
factories to close or run half time, then
our laboring people have not the means
to buy either foreign or domestic goods
in any considerable quantities. Hence
business at home is depressed and the
revenues of the Government fall short —
all because the laboring man is so poorly
remunerated that he cannot supply him
self with the comforta of life, and his
consuming capacity is this reduced from
one-half to two-thirds. Thus it is easy
to see how the Democratic doctrine of
tariff for revenue only disarranges every
thing, and brings about depression and
distress everv »* »• ■<«... r -. 1.

Our Creed.
In response to the speech made by the
Chairman of a visiting delegation, from
Cleveland, last Saturday, Major Mc
" Kinley spoke as follows:
My fellow citizens, recent Events have
imposed upon the patriotic people of this
country a responsibility ana a auty great
er than that of any since the civil war.
Then it was a struggle to preserve the
• government of the United States. Now
it is a struggle to preserve the financial
honor of the government of the United
States. (Cries of "yes" and applause.)
Then it was a contest to save the Union.
Now it is a contest to ■ save spotless its
credit. (Great applause.) Then section
was arrayed against Miction; now men of
all sections can unite and will unite to re
buke the repudiation of our obligations
and the debasement of our currency. (Ap
plause.) In this contest patriotism is
above party and national honor is dearer
than any party name. The currency and
credit of the government are . good now
and must be kept good forever. Our
trouble is not with the character of the
money that we have, but with the threat
to debase it.
We have the same currency that we
had in 1892, good the world over and un
questioned by any people, Then, too, we
had exampled credit and prosperity.
Our difficulty now is to get that money in
circulation and invested in productive en
terprises which furnish employment to
American labor. (Great applause.) This
is impossible with the distrust that hangs
over the country at the present time and
every effort to make our dollars, or any
one of them, worth less than one hundred
cents. Each only to increase that
distrust. What we want is a sound policy,
financial and industrial; which will give
courage and confidence to all, for when
that is done the money now unemployed
because of fear of the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will quickly
appear in the channels of trade.(Cries
of "You are right, Major," and applause.)
Gentlemen, the employment of our
idle money, the idle money that we al
ready have, in gainful pursuits will put
every idle man in the country at work
and when there is work there is wages,
and when there is work and wages there
are consumers who constitute the l>est
market for the products of our soil
(Grett applause.)
Having destroyed business and confi
dence by a free trade policy, it is now
proposed to make things still worse by
entering upon an era of depreciated cur
rency. Not content with the inaugura
tion of the ruinous policy which has
brought down the wages of the laborer
and the price of farm products, its advo
cates now offer a new policy which will
diminish the value of the money in which
wiges and products are paid (Applause. I
Against both of these we stand op
posed. Our creed embraces an honest
dollar, an untarnished national credit,
adequate revenues lor the uses of the
government, protection to labor and in
dustry, preservation of the home market
and reciprocity which will extend our
foreign qiarkets Upon this platform we
stand and submit its declarations to the
sober and considerate judgment of the
American people.
yt.AV has resigned the chairmanship
of the state committee, and his place will
be filled by the state candidates. Mr.
Elkins will probably succeed him.
The Primer in Politics.
Yes, this is likely to be a campaign of
education for some people. Even some
of the old-time Greenbackers are wholly
at sea in discussing the great financial
problem of to-day. Tlie free-silver ad
vocate who stated in an argument that
the ratio of 16 to I simply means that
"every time the Government coins one
dollar in gold it must coin sixteen silver
dollars" no doubt was honestly in favor
of the inflation of the currency. But the
man who said that under the 16 to I idea
"a man could present a gold dollar at
the bank and get sixteen silver dollars
for it" didn't seem to reflect that upon
that basis he might hare some trouble in
getting hold of a gold dollar. Free Sil
ver and a free lunch seem to be synony
mous terms in the minds of some "finan
ciers" in these days. The man was
thirsting for knowledge, however, who
said he wanted a little light on the sub
ject: he didn't know "whether this 16 to
I they were talking so much about
that a silver dollar should lie 16 times as
big as it is now cr 16 times as heavy *s a
gold dollar."
Just here is a simple proposition which
it might be well to consider: Suppose
we could find seventeen of the larges
mountains in the country composed
wholly of the precious metals at the ratio
of sixteen mountains of silver to one of
gold, and should convert them into coin
and scatter "free silver" and gold
throughout the land, dividing the coin
per capita. In that event we might all
become millionaires several times over.
Yet, with all that money it would not be
We should have to go on to till the soil
for food, and to manufacture necessary
articles out of raw materials as now.
We should have so much money it would
cease to discharge its appropriate func
tion as such, and we should be forced to
look after some other circulating medium
as a measure of value.
Man, government, law, only took hold
of and utilized the materials furnished
by nature in the adoption of gold and
silver as money. Nature fixed the ratio
of value by the relative supply of the two
metals. Statistics show that from 1792
to 1872 the average annual product of
silver in this county was about two
millions of ciollars. From 1873 to 1894
the product ran up to the average of fifty
millions of dollars annually. During the
two years of 1892 and 1893 alone, this
country contributed more silver to the
world's stock of that metal than it had
done during the whole eighty years pre
vious to 1873, The price of silver went
down because of its excessive production
compared with gold. There is more sil
ver produced than the world can absorb
in its present uses and the price has gone
down. The universal law of nature and
of commerce brought it down, just as it
did the price of wheat, of iron of calico
and everything else. That is all there is
of it, and it seems quite easy to under
stand.—Wellsboro Agitator.
IT was a Scotch woman who said that
the butcher of her town only killed half
a beast at a time. It was a Dutchman
who said a pig had no marks on its ear
except a short tail. It was a British

Appeal for Armenia.
Monday was the closing day of the
Christian Endeavor convention at Wash
ington, and in Tent Washington there
was a great demonstration in favor of
helping the Armenians. Several Arme
nians told the story of the butchery of
their people and burning of their towns
and houses.
Evangelist Mills took up the appeal,
and in a passionate harangue assailed the
governments of Europe, England and
tht United States for their indifference
toward the Armenian slaughter. lie de
scribed the bailliancy and cunning of the
Sultan, showing him to be a man of
great ability and then said: "I have no
doubt that these massreres in Armenia
were planned and carried out by the
Sultan for his own purpose."
"Had our noble President," added Mr.
Mills, "on one of his fishing excursions
wandered into the Turkish domain and
had so much as a tiny little bullet from
a Turk's play pistol passed through his
sail, I take it Americans would have
found that it was of our business to inter
fere in Turkish affairs."
As Mr. Mills blamed the Cleveland ad
i ministration for non-interference in t>e
half of the Armenians every sentence
was greeted with loud cheers. Men and
women 011 the platform behind him, and
and in the benches before him rose and
shouted their hearty approval of the de
nunciation of President Cleveland. In
the midst of the solemn charge of cow
ardice and disloyalty, leveled at the
Chief Executive, the Secretary of State
and the American minister, the whole
audience arose spontaneously, waving
flags ami banners anil crying aloud their
approval. As Mr. Mills proceeded, they
kept 011 their feet, repeating the cheer
of indorsement at every adjective. Final
ly, when his voice and manner indicated
that he had reached the end of his
period, six rousing cheers of approval
were given. Rev. Wayland Iloyt, who
presided called upon the audience to
reaffirm the charge. Again came the six
cheers with hearty enthusiasm, j'l hope
the response will reach through the
empty White iliuac and extend to liu/.-
zarus Bay," cried Mr. Mills, as he took
his seat.
End of the Chicago Convention.
On Thursday all sound money amend
ments to the report of the Committee on
Resolutions were voted down by a two to
one vote; Jones rebuked Tillman for say
in? that the money question was a sec
tional issue; the pleas of Hill, \ ilas and
Russtll for sound money fell upon un
willing ears; Hill s motion to in lors*.
Cleveland's administration fell by ?. vote
of 564 to 357: Tillman withdrew his mo
tion to censure Cleveland, and the 16 to 1
platform was adopted by a vote of 62s to
',Ol. . . ,
That night the nominating speeches
were made during such great confusion
that but little of what tlie speakers said
were heard.
Bland of lowa, Matthews of Indiana,
Boies of lowa, Bryan of Nebraska, Black
burn of Kentucky, McLean of Ohio and
Daniel of Virginia, were put in nomina
tion that night. The Pennsylvania dele
gation said it would vote for Pattison, but
would not indorse the platform; the Mas
sachusetts delegation said it would vote
for Russell; and at 12.35 the convention
adiorned till next day.
On Friday the balloting begun with
Bland in the lead, and 160 delegates not
voting. The chair ruled that two-thirds
of those voting could nominate. On the
:rd ballot young Bryan of Lincoln Neb.,
editor of the World & Herald, and who
has had two terms in Congress forged
"ahead of Bland. During the 4tb ballot,
the delegations broke one after another

him, "and his nomination was made un
aminous so far as the free-silver votes m
the convention were The
sound-money delegates voted ' 'no. The
band played', and the convention adjourn
ed till next day.
On Saturday, Walter Clark of t ° 1
Carolina, James Fulton Lewis of Wash
ington, Arthur Sewell of Maine, Jos. C.
Sibley of Penn'a, J. D. Showalter of Mis
souri, G. W. Fithian of Illinois, Sylvester
Pennoyer of Oregon, J. o!
and Senator DanicVof Virginia were put
in nomination for Vice President. Five
ballots were taken, and Sewell of Maine
was nominated. He is a wealthy ship
builder, banker and railroad man.
The usual clearing up resolutions of
thanks to the temporary chairman, Sen
ator Daniel of Virginia; the permanent
chairman Senator White of California;
the acting chairman Representative Rich
ardson of Tennessee; the secretary and
others, were offered and agreed to. A re
solution was also offered by Senator
Blancliard of Louisiana, and agreed to,
declaring the city of Chicago the "great
est convention city on earth," and then
at 3:16 o'clock, "the chairman. Senator
White, declared the convention adjourn
ed sine die.
THE new National party—the bolters
from the old Prohibition party—sent cut
its declaration of principles a few days
ago. It declares for woman suffrage; the
free coinage of silver and gold at the
ratio of 16 to i; ownership of railroads,
telegraphs "and otiier natural monopo
lies', by the Government; direct taxa
tion of property and incomes by the
National Government; election of the
President and of United States Senators
by direct vote; the amendment of natur
alization laws, and more strict regula
tion of the privilege of voting, and sever
al other things, including, of course the
suppression of the manufacture, sale, im
portation, expetation and transportation
of intoxicating liquors for beverages.
The Executive Committee of tne new
party "invites all citizens who desire the
good of the whole people and the over
throw of all political wrongs" to go to
the polls next November and eiect
Bentley and Southgate as President and
Vice. President of this republic. If so
great good can be brought about by so
simple a process, we don't see why it
shouldn't be done; but many voters
may look r.pon some of the avowed
objects of the new party as harmful to
the people. And so Bentley and South
gate may not be elected this year.
Making American Tin Plate.
The quarterly list of American tin
plate works, which was published in the
Metal Worker, shows that on July ■
there were thirty-six complete tin plate
plants rolling their own block plates in
actual operation in the I nited States
and three in cou se of operation. The
active plants j»ossessed an aggregate of
179 till mills, having an estimated yearly
capacity of about 5,500,000 boxes of tin
plates. In addition to these establish
ments there were thirty-one tin plate
dipping works, without rolling mills,
possessing au aggregate of 169 tinning
sets.
At the end of last month the produc
tion of American ti'i plate is estimated
to have been going on at the rate of over
4,000,000 boxes yearly. During the last
quarter the The New Castle Steel and
Tin Plate Company, of New Castle, Pa.,
has completed large extensions to its
works, making it an eighteen-mill plant.
This gives the United States the largest
and most complete tin plate works in the
world. It annual capacity is three
quarters of a million boxes.
PHOTOGEAPHY in colors has been
finally achieved. Many know that Mc-
Donough, the inventor, has spent a life
time in experiment, but the news that
every obstacle had been overcome, and
that a great corj>oration had been form
ed to develop the invention, was hailed
as the greatest advance step in the art
since Daguerre succeeded in making h's
primitive picture.
The keynote of the progress lies in a
ruled screen of celluloid, which to the
naked eye appears perfectly white.
Ruled paper for postives show the same
white effect. But under tin microscope
each one of those thre<?hundred lines is
seen to l>e a spectrum. When a picture
is taken through this transparent screen
on an orthocliromatic plate, which gives
the relative color values in black and
white, a negative is obtained with all the
fine lines across it. A positive is then
made in the ordinary way. Then if the
color screen and j>ositive are placed
together, the picture appears in all the
original colors, for the reason that the
orthochr omatic positive cuts off everv
color save the one that should show.
A State Medical Scandal.
There has been trouble before over the
btate medical examinations, and if any
thing additional were needed to bring
the State system into disrepute it
was furnished by the recent discovery
that at the last examination applicants
were furnished with the questions to l»e
asked by one of the examiners.
The Harrisburg papers say that to
ayoid a scandal the promised investiga
tion will be hushed up. A graduate of a
Maryland school.who started out to 'un
tile questions with contributions from
the applicants is to be punished by hav
liis certificate held back for six months,
but we do not hear of any punishment
being meted out to the examiner.
An official acting for the State and for
the protection of the people who would
thus abuse the confidence reposed in him
is, of course, unworthy the jiosition of
trust which he has occupied. Punching
the student and letting the examiner go
unpunished is like straining at a gnat
and swallowing a camel. It doesn't im
prove the matter any to hush it up. The
honorable physicians of the State should
interest themselves in removing the
source of possible future scandals con
cerning their profession.
TUB use of the fire-cracker as a means
of expressing sentiments of patriotism on
the Fourth of July originates, perhaps
from the old custom of firing off canons
to proclaim some joyful tidings. The
cracker appeals alone to the sense of
hearing is easily manipulated and seems
to gratify the average boy more than
anything else. Hut it is dangerous and
is. getting more HJ every yeai 011 account
of the tendency to increase the size of
the tracker.

Is before the old ones wear out, you can \
break 'em in gradually—wear 'em a few
hours at a time till they are fitted thorough-

they don't take much breaking in, because
they fit them so well in the first place. >
