Davenport, the Republican | candidate for congressiuau-at-large, in a speech at Erie on October 17. 1800, said: What you workingmen want to under stand is that your employers are your brains. Can any free American citizen road such sentiment as that without feeling moved to tho deepest indignation? Re buke that man by your votes at the polls. 1 A Few Words to Voters. The last days of the campaign tire j upon us. and those voters, if there are ; any, who are yet undecided as to how t hey will mark their ballots, should earn- i estly consider the responsibility which j rests upon every citizen at this election. On the ballot which each voter will take into the booth are many names, but out of the hundreds that appear thereon there are none which can appeal with greater force to the laboring classes and j business men than those which are j printed in the second column. Underneath the word "Democratic" will he found the names of Bryan and j Sowall, followed by the thirty-two candi dates for electors who are pledged t• ; support these men in the electoral col- I lege. A mark in the large square at the right of the names of Bryan and Sewall will vote for each and all of their electors. Republicans who intend to vote tho national ticket should remem ber this, as it is a convenience which was not possible in the last presidential election, when a separate mark after each elector's name was required. The fact that Pennsylvania is conced ed to the Republicans should not deter the independent voter from voting for Bryan and Sewall. The principles they represent appeal to tlx* common sense of every man who desires tosee America free from foreign dictation in monetary affairs as well as free from interference in goverment business by those Ameri-| cans who are throttling every privilege of the masses and making voters sul s *r- I vient to tin* will of plutocracy and monopoly. A vote for Bryan and Sewall in Pennsylvania is not a vote lost. It is a protest against the system J of governing which lias made Pennsyl- i vania the home of thousands of paupers. ' DeWitt ('. Do Witt and Jerome T. Ail man are tin* candidates for congressmen- j at-largo. They stand upon a platform, which endorses Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago declaration of indepen dence. and they are worthy of the vote j of every citizen in the state. Joint M. Carman, the congressional candidate, is next on the ballot, and is J the first ou tlx* list <f those whose elec tion is not only possible, but very prob able. A vote for Mr. Carman is more i than a protest, inasmuch us one vote may decide who will represent Luzerne i in tlx; legislative halls of the nation. ; and let it not lie said that Luzerne tin- j year will send there a man whom every citizen would feel ashamed of. Mr. I Carman would he a credit to tin* district. ' and would work honestly and sineereh for the best interests of all his constitu ents. He believes, like his leader, in '•the greatest good to the greatest num ber," which is the true principle of statesmanship. Our townsman. D. J. McCarthy, fol lows. and local pride alone should Insure for him a rousing majority in Freeland and surrounding polls. He is an aspirant , for an office which, next to congress man. is the most important in tlx county. The territory covered by tlx* twenty-first senatorial district lias been selected specially to make a Democrat'> election almost impossible, as it. goes beyond the county for Republican town ships and omits Democratic sections within tlx* county. In spite of thh gerrymander, lie lias voluntarily taken up tlx* cause of the people, and no man in Pennsylvania has done more to en lighten the voters of Luzerne on the financial question than our townsman. His honesty of purpose i> undoubted. , and that lie will make a good senator is conceded by oxen his appouents. For county treasurer the nominee is Rudolph C. Jlitcliler, a man who ha- i lately risen from a good machinist to the position of business man, at present | conducting a jewelry store. He is and always has been a man of the people, 1 lias always enjoyed the full confidence of his neighbors and is a safe man to install as custodian of the public funds. John J. Brislin is so popular and well known that but little need be said of him. Born and raised just across the Luzerne line, in old Buck Mountain, his candidacy appeals especially to lower end workingmen. He lias risen from the mines, where he passed through ex periences that were terrible even in that dangerous occupation; later he was maimed on the railroad, and during re cent years lias been chief deputy of the register's office. It may be safely as sumed t hat at present there is no man in the county more qualified than Mr. Brislin to fill tlx* position lie seeks, and for that reason, if for no other, he de serves the support of voters regardless of party ties. In Messrs. < iuiney and Finn, the Demo crats have named two men who may be depended upon to carry out tho pledges of reform they have made. The com missioners' office lias been the target for ' much criticism, and a charge of politics j ; will bring with it a change of methods, j 1 This office directly concerns every tax payer and none should receive more careful attention at the polls. Messrs. (iood and Lindeinan. the can didates for auditors, are qualified men. and will do their work faithfully in scrutinizing the accounts of county officials. Matthew Long, the nominee for the legislature, is another candidate who is more or less acquainted with the voters •f the fourth district. He is known as a broad-minded liberal man, free from all influences which might hamper him in legislating in the interest of the : masses, and Ids vote may be depended i upon to be cast on the side of justice ami equality on every occasion. Tlx fourth has sent all sorts of men to Harrisburg in its history, but if Mr. Long is chosen we will have a represen tative who will reflect credit upon the I choice of ids constituents. Voters who go to the polls next Tues day can serve their country best by making one mark on tlx* ballot, and j that mark should be placed in the circle over the second column. The men who j place it there will, we believe, never i have occasion to regret their action. IT SNIFFS DANGER. A Plutocratic Paper's Fear of the Com mon People. Tho bottom fact is that an appeal to the neth er forces of civilized society always involves dangerous possibilities, which cannot bo ac curately measured or safely ignored.—New York Tribune. So The Tribune is afraid that an ap peal to the farmers and mechanics—the people who work from day to clay for their living—involves "dangerous pos sibilities. " Surely there can lie no other interpretation of its language, for the "nether forces of civilized society" are the common people just as the upper forces are the plutocrats. But whether The Tribune is right or wrong depends upon its view of "dan gerous possibilities." When the sturdy yeomanry of the American colonics undertook to throw off the British yoke, the silk stockinged, gold laced plutocrats thought it involved "dangerous possibilities." Their cry was, "What do tin so ignorant plow joggers want to make trouble for?" If tho upper and not the nether class could have had their way, wo should have been under British rule today. When the common people—tho nether forces of civilized society—undertook to elect Abraham Lincoln in 1800, tho up per forces of society also thought it would involve "dangerous possibili ties." But Lincoln was elected, and if I he had not been the country today ! would lie permanently rent in twain. Every great reform recorded in his ; tory has sprung from tho "nether class 1 of society"—the common people—and was opposed by the class which The Tribune represents. But why has not Tho Tribune tho courage to come out and express its real ; feelings? Why does it not udmit that it hates tho common people as much as it fears them and that if it could have its way it would even deny thorn the right to vote? The farmer wants free silver in or der that there may bo a fair market for his product, so that he may pay j liis debts according to contract. ! The workiiigniau wants free silver because that will give the producers more money and give him a home market worth having.

Unscrupulous Attempt to Destroy Silver. Real Enemies of the Public Welfare. The enemies of bimetallism have much to say of the increased produc tion of silver, taking the mint statistics of given years as evidences of the fact. They say nothing of the increased pro duction of gold, but the fact is that the gold production during the last ten years exceeds that of silver. But neither fact is of any consequence in the discus sion. The supply of the precious metals differs from the supply of fium prod- ! ucts and manufactured goods. Wheat and corn are consumed, cotton and woolen goods are made into clothing and worn out. Every commodity iH per- ; isliablo but the precious metals. These have been accumulating during all the ages of the world's history, and they are not consumed or destroyed. The in crease or decrease of the production of either has therefore no such effect upon j the supply as does a short crop or an overproduction of the things which we , consume from year to year. The world's ' total supply of the two metals is not in creasing us rapidly as the demand for j it, based upon the increase of popula- j tion and business of the civilized na tions. The money power is always strug gling to make money dear by decreas ing the quantity. In the fifties it want ed to demonetize gold becuuse of the increased production in California and Australia. But England, not given to change, adhered to the gold standard, belioving that gold production would not be permanently increased. For near ly BO years this samo power has strug gled to abolish the use of silver as tiiou- \ ey and uses the same arguments that were formerly used for the demonetiza tion of gold. All the great authorities on the sci ence of money have maintained that the two metals together give a more stable measure of value than either one of them alone. When one falls short, the other usually increases. The world's experience is that when any single groat nation keeps its mints open to the free and unlimited coinage of both metals on equal terms at a given ratio neither the action of other nations nor the vari ations between the relative productions of the two metals will seriously affect that ratio. France maintained the pari ty between silver and gold at a ratio of to 1 for 70 years—from 1808 until 1878. This was not affected by the adoption of the silver standard in all the German states and in Austria in 1857, nor by the adhesion by Great Britain to tiie gold standard, adopted | by her in 181 C. The silver coinage in tho United States during all that period was very limited, because of the incon siderable production of silver, and therefore had but littlo effect upon the question. Gold and silver have always been preferred over all other materials for money, because the amount of them is limited to nature's yield. Neither of these metals can be manufactured. They aro produced in varying quantities, and the variance is unimportant relatively to the accumulations of tho ages. There is no more danger of inflation from the overproduction of goltl and silver than there is of the overflow of Lako Superi or from heavy falls of rain. It requires a vast amount of both metals to supply the demand fur the arts and manufactures. It was the ex pressed opinion a few years ago of Mr. Giffeu, the statistician of the British board of trade—himself an uncompro mising gold monomotallist—that the supply of gold was being entirely con sumed in tho arts and that none of it as being added to tho world's supply of coin. The struggle of the gold monometal lists to destroy silver has produced un paralleled distress throughout the world, although their battle is but jiartially won. To v. hat lower deep mankind would he doomed by their final success will never be known if our natiou, the strongest, richest and most populous in the world, shall turn tho tide of battle in tho present presidential campaign. Tho increased production of either of the precious metals luu always proved a boon to mankind and lias been follow ed by an uplifting of civilization. But money lenders have always seen in it an injury to themselves in proportion to the benefit it confers upon munkind. A man who will willfully menace the pub lic peace for private purposes deserves i the epithet of anarchist. We know of no element in this country so deserv- ' iug to be classed as anarchists as those who seek to put burdens upon the peo ple which they cannot and will not bear, and thus undertake to enslave tho people, who have too much of the spirit of independence to allow themselves to be enslaved.—Cincinnati Enquirer. An income tax may have been uu | constitutional, but it was right. And j when >lr. Bryan is eleeted president it will be made constitutional as well [as right. The constitution Is sacred, but the welfare of the people is more so. SHE 1110101 (IF LIB CIIINTY. Vote for John M. Carman for Congress. VOTERS, READ THESE FACTS. What are the simple facts in the case of Leisenring against Williams? That in August, 1894, Leisenring de feated Williams and carried off the Repub lican congressional nomination, which Wil liams was anxious to obtain. That Williams spent a large amount in the purchase of delegates, said to be about Si 3, 200. That his defeat for the nomination, and the loss of so much money, filled him with distress, and he sulked in his tent, and re fused to say a word in support of Leisen ring. That every effort was made by Mr. Leisenring's friends to enlist Williams in behalf of Leisenring, but without avail. That finally agents of Williams waited on friends of Leisenring, and stated that Williams would write a letter in behalf of Leisenring, to be printed in the "Wilkes barre Record," if the money paid out to se cure the nomination of Williams was paid back, the amount being $13,200. That after some haggling the demand of Williams' agents was reduced to $9,000, which amount was raised by Leisenring's friends and paid over to the men who rep resented Williams. The next day a letter from Williams appeared in the "Record," appealing to his friends, and urging them to support Leisen ring for congress. Is not the proof positive and plain? Vote for John M. Garrnan for congress, not a political hold-up and striker. JOHN J. INGALLS ON GOLD. | Says It Is the Most Treacherous and Cow ardly of All Metals. Nn enduring fabric of national prosperity can bo lniilded on gold. Gold is the money of monarchs. Kings covet it. The exchanges of nations are affected by it. Its tend ency is to accumulate in vast masses in the commercial centers and to move from kingdom to king dom in such volumes as to unsettle values and stir up the finances of the world. It is the instrument ol gamblers and speculators and the ideal of the miser and thief. The object of so much adoration, it be comes haughty and sensitive, and shrinks at the approach of danger, and whenever it is most needed it | always disappears at the slightest; alarm. It begins to look for refuge. It Hies through the nations at war to the nations at peace. War makes it a fugitive. No peo- 1 (ilc in a great emergency ever found a faithful ally in gold. It is the most cowardly and treacherous of all metals. It makes no treaty that it does not break. It has no friends whom it docs not sooner or later betray. Armies and navies are not maintained by gold. In time of : panic and calamity, shipwreck and ! disaster, it becomes the chief agent j and minister of ruin. No nation j ever fought a great war by the aid j of gold. On the contrary, in the | crisis of greatest peril it becomes j an enemy more potent than the foe ] in the field. But when the battle is I won and peace has been secured, gold reappears and claims the limits ; of victory.—John James Ingalls. WRITERS AND FICTION. Sir Walter llesant, in collaboration ! with Mr. H. Pollock, is about to publish ; a volume of eight, drawing-room plays, A French author, M. O. Desca.mps, is trying to find out how far the charac ter of modern French fiction lias affect ed the marriage rate. lteetor Mulot, the French novelist, is going to make himself disagreeable by publishing in his autobiography a key to his romances, all of which, lie de clares, he took from actual events. W. A. Cragio has produced a volume of Scandinavian folk-lore, beginning with the most amusing and interesting of the early sngea and legends and com ing <lon by groups into the field of modern writings of the same character. \t ill Carleton, who lias recently gone Into storv writing, continues to be the industrial worker. Though lie is now recognized as an eastern man, be won his fame in the west. He was reai-ed and educated in Michigan, but now lias a connection with a Brooklyn monthly called Kverywliere. All his writings are now first published in that magazine. SAID BY THE SCIENTIST& Aluniinuin should always be used I alone and pure, as it readily forms e'cc trie couples with every other metal, und is then easily.uttacked by water. Lyell, the geologist, says: At a peri- ; od comparatively recent all that por tion of the United States south of the i Black Hills was under from 500 to 900 j feet of water. Without solar fire we could hove no atmospheric vapor, without vapor 110 clouds, without clouds 110 snow and without snow 110 glaciers. Curious, then, as the conclusion may be, the eold ice of the Alps has its origin in the l eat of tlie sun. The greatest depth, writes l'rof. Sec ley in his "Story of the Earth," at which earthquakes are known to orig inate is about 30 miles. It has.ilso been calculated that a heat sufficient to melt granite might occur at about the same depth. Funmlut ion* of Society. I read a pamphlet published by a Buffalo banker in which ho said that upon tho prosperity of business men de pended tho prosperity of the farmer and laborer. My friends, there is no person in this audience but who knows that the proposition stated by the Buffalo banker is false. Instead of the farmer and the laborer depending for prosperity upon the business man tho reverse is true. Tho business man depends for his prosperity upon the farmer and the la borer. Farmers and laborers are the founda tion of society, and upon that broad and firm foundation is built tho commercial fabric. Tho business man stands upon tho shoulders of those who toil, and the banker is simply a roof for tho build ing. You can tako off tho roof and put 011 another one, possibly a better one than the one taken off, but when you tako away the foundation the whole building collapses.—W. J. Bryan. Way* of <>'ttlii£ Votes. It is a question whether hitting a man with a club to make him vote as the as sailant pleases is worse than threaten ing to starve his wife and children if he j does not vote as ordered.—Exchange. A Word About Trunts. The talk about using the mints for the beuefit of "millionaire silver mine owners" is a good thing if it helps to make it clear that the paltry $(10,000,- 000 a year, the gross value of all silver mined iD the United States, is less than tho profits of a single Hauuu trust—the Pennsylvania anthracite pool, which is ill league with the Standard Oil com pany and with the Steel trust in sup port of the English gold standard.—St. l.onis Post-Dispatch. fluid standard advocates say that iiilne owners will make A() cents profit on every stiver dollar. They also say that the silver dollar will be only a AO cent dollar. Now, If I lie dollar Is to he worth 100 rents to the mine owner wlileli It must he j for him to make AO cents profit—lt must also he worth 100 cents to the next man.
