Nothing, except the mint, can make money without advertising.—Gladstone. I would as soon think of doing busi ness without clerks as without adver tising.—John Wanamakar. When you pay more for the rent of yeur business houso than for advertis ing your business, you are pursuing a false policy. If you can do business, let it be known.—Benjamin Franklin. An Insolent Imperialism. If it be true, as intimated by Mr Ilnnnn. that the Republican National Committee is $65,000 in debt, the fact Is highly discreditable to the benefi ciaries of the administration's con stant care and solicitude. The Stand ard Oil trust, which Mr. Hanna him self protected from the malignant per secution of Mr. Frank Monnett, Is earning $80,000,000 per annum, accord ing to its last quarterly dividend. The Carnegie steel trust cleaned up $21,- 000,000 In 1899. All the other trusts and monopolies undoubtedly have done correspondingly well. Yet they allow Mr. Hanna's committee to be come Insolvent when a trifling con tribution from each of them would fill its war chest to overflowing. Such ingratitude is bound to bring down retribution, and the retribution will come when Mr. Hanna gets out his trusty skillet and begins making the rounds again this fall. The trust magnates may Ignore the committee's necessities now, but their fat will sizzle merrily when the leaves begin to fall. Marcus will be merciless and his demands will have to be met if the trusts hope to enjoy four years' more license to plunder the people. Mr. Morgan, Please! A short time since a committee of Chicago business men wrote to Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan begging him to use his influence in railway councils to stop discriminations in rates so that all shippers might be placed on an equality in the matter of cost of trans portation. Mr. Morgan replies by sug gesting various remedies, but com mits himself to nothing in particular. The interesting fact here is that the committee appealed, not to the Inter state Commerce Commission, which was constituted by the national gov ernment to prevent and punish such unlawful discrimination, but to a pri vate individual who has no connection whatever with the authorities charged with the enforcement of the law. Is Mr. Morgan more powerful than the Government? Can he grant by ways of grace and favor what the commission cannot compel with all the power of government behind it? The committee's action is a recog nition of the fact already confessed by the Interstate Commerce Commis sion almost in terms. It ought to en lighten the whole country concerning the unseen influences which regulate the Government at Washington. Wages and Provisions. And yet they tell us that the trusts have increased wages. Let us see. The New Y'ork Labor Bureau, Repub lican board, mark you, have selected sixty-six industrial institutions in that state, each having an annual pay roll of $50,000 and over, and has found the total wages paid by them for each since 1890. The tables given show that the annual average wage has de creased nearly 10 per cent. In 1891 there were 18,171 employes in these factories, receiving an average of $547 per year. In 1899 there were 25,035 people employed who received $513 each for the year. In 1897 the average wage was $523.' In 1898 It was SSOB. These statistics were gath ered by Republican officials, and can not be successfully assailed by the Republican press. They show that there has been a constant diminution of wages during the last nine years, notwithstanding the price of every commodity made or controlled by the trusts has been advanced from 25 to 140 per cent. The thanks of the country are due to Congressmen Littiefleld, of Maine; McCall, of Massachusetts, and one or two others, for their brave Btand in behalf of the government of the fath ers and against the treasonable and Insidious attempt of the administra tion to outlaw the Constitution and substitute a government of individual Hannaites for the organic law. The Hayltes and the Hannaites may say "rot" and "bosh" In refuta tion of Macrum's charges till their tongues hang out from weariness, but that kind of argument can't obliterate the "Victoria Regina" stamped on the Flips pasted over the rips made In the official envelopes by her majesty's tensor.—Kaas§ City Times, In the Bhadow of a Throne. Since 1816. when England stopped the coinage of free silver, she has sacrificed honor, tiuth and good gov ernment and virtue to force her finan cial system of the gold standard upon the world. Blood, deceit, corruption and trickery have been so successful ly substituted for right and Justice that she has at last succeeded in dom inating the nations of the earth to their own undoing. Some of the people of the United States, dominated by the froth of par tisanship and hypnotized by senti mentality, do not see the pernicious character of the financial scheme of England, but the nations of the old world have recently become alive to the financial situation brought about by the gold standard. They have been asking each other, through their min ister of finance why a war In South Africa inaugurated by England should create such an enormous financial stringency In the continental money markets and give rise to economic disturbances of the most alarming character. The governments of the Czar and Kaiser are uneasy, and do not hesi tate to declare that the money strin gency is due to the drain by England upon the gold resources of the world to meet the enormous expenses, now amounting to nearly $1,000,000 in gold coin per day, and that the continu ance of it means widespread indus trial ruin throughout their dominions. That the situation is a serious one may be inferred from the considera tion of the question whether the con tinuance of the war between Great Britain and the Transvaal would not prove infinitely more injurious to Russia, Germany and France than to England herself, which has thus far hardly been damaged at all, In an economic sense, by the struggle. This Is the very plainest denuncia tion of the gold standard, the abso luteness of which, and the supply con trolled by England, as the great cred itor nation of the world, brings ruin on these great nations of the world, a ruin so complete that they are con templating a personal struggle with England as the cheapest manner of preventing it. Buoyed up by lurid proclamations of a fictitious prosperity, a prosperity which means nothing to the masses and everything to the money lenders, the people of the United States are prevented from looking behind the Anglo-American alliance to see the chains which England and the Mc- Kinley administration are forging up on the limbs of liberty. We are standing in the shadow of a throne and becoming dominated by a power that possesses neither conscience nor Justice; the pound of flesh is being exacted, and when our gold, our be loved standard, is drawn away to sup ply the world's creditor, England, who suffers no damage, because she draws upon her victims for her ex penditures in the grand cause of civil ization and commercial extension and more loans, we shall see the blood follow the flesh, as do the other na tions of the earth. As a nation, we are permitting Eng land to exploit her financial schemes through the domination of small, struggling nations, and we are help ing her pay the expenses and to reap the profits. We are almost in the ab ject condition of a debtor who dares not resist his creditor for fear of foreclosure. It Is a condition brought about solely by the gold standard, and our lost gold, running up into the hundreds of millions of dollars, gone, no man knows whither, together with the drain now going on, must convince the people that their subjection to the English throne Is not as desirable as It has been argued to be, nor flat tering to our intell'gence. Democratic Doctrine. We are opposed to imperialism and militarism, says the Utah Democratic Convention, but favor commercial ex pansion and progress, not by force, but by natural and peaceful means. We are In favor of the kind of expan sion which Jefferson advocated and practiced, and which is not incompat ible with our form of government, applying to contiguous or neighbor ing territory who.-e inhabitants are fitted either immediately or ultimate ly to become citizens of the United States. But wc aie opposed to wars of aggression and conquest, by means of which alien people are brought un der our domination against their will. Such wars, undertr-ken in a spirit of commercialism, greed and covetous ness, bringing to us colonies and sub jects Instead of sister states and fel low citizens, are directly antagonistic to the Idea that governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed. A new invention is reported which enables one man to switch 750 trains of cars daily; the new glass-blowing machine makes 1,200 pieces an hour; an electric organ blowing device does away with the church organ "wind jammer;" a new tobacco stripping machine will do the work of fifty people; an improved nail machine produces two tons per day. "Every day will be Sunday by and by" for the working people, unless they own and work labor-saving machinery on the co-operative plan.—Jackson (Mich.) Patriot. The people who believe In the per petuation of this republic as Washing ton and his fellow patriots construct ed it will first have to lay away the Republican party. Afterward the em balming of imperialism will be easy and swift—Kansas City Times. American agricultural Implements are lower In price in St. Petersburg, Russia, than In St. Paul, Minn.

To the electors of Luzerne county: The time seems to be ripe for a new departure In politics in Luzerne county. All men whose opinions arn entitled io respect agree that the purchase of pub lic ofiice is degrading to alt concerned, the buyer and the bought, and that, un less checked, will In the end ruin the republic. It is a custom "more honored In the breach than the observance." It Is the chief agency by which the politi cal boss clinches his grasp upon the party machinery and trenches on the right of the people to elect their own rulers. It nurtures a brood of vampires who fasten on all candidates and ren der the attainment of high public posi tions substantially Impossible for a poor man. To attempt to get rid of it and to demonstrate that an election can be held without it is worth a trial. I propose to offer myself as a candi date for congress, with the distinct declaration that no more than my share of the legitimate necessary legal expenses of the campaign shall be paid by me, and that with tuy consent, no money shall be paid to Influence any vote or voter. I believe in the intelli gence and virtue of the people, and that thoy should be allowed to select, freely attd fairly, for their representa tives in congress men who will stand for the principles of government which they cherish. 1 believe that a sate majority of the peoplo of Luzerne county are in favor of that protection to American industry which secures to our mechanics and laboring men an opportunity to work and earn wages and live In comfort; to our manufacturers a home market for their goods and a chance to compete In the markets of the world; and to our farmers an opportunity to feed, with the product of their farms, the teeming towns and cities where the hum of in dustry is perpetual, when freo from competition with the 111 paid labor of other lands, and where, under these conditions, the workers have tho means to pay for what they need. I believe the people are In favor of a sound and stable currency in which every dollar shall be as good as every other dollar, and every one as good as any dollar In use on tho earth. I believe they are willing that capital shall combine Its energies to carry our great enterprises that are too costly for individual effort, but they are not will ing that any set of men shall monopolize the production or distribution of tho necessaries of life, or deny to any man the privilege of doing business. They are willing that labor shall or ganize for self protection and to better the condition of the workers, but they are not willing that any man shall be denied the right to pursue his own happi ness in his own way, or that any great essential privilege of free government shall be set at deliance. 1 believe they favor a governmental policy which shall maintain the power and honor of the nation at homo and abroad, and which shall never desert or dishonor any man who wears the Union blue, and stands in defense of the Stars and .Stripes in any land undur the shin ing stars. If I am correct in this opinion, and if the people of the county desire my ser vices to advocate and enforce these be liefs in the halls of congross, I have concluded, after great hesitation and at a cost of considerable personal sacri fice, at the urgent request of many of all political faiths, to undertako the task. If elected, I shall appreciate fully the honor of representing this populous and important district, boing mindful of tho responsibilities attending it at this critical time when problems of vast import, big with the destiny of the na tion, lie along the untrodden pathway into which it has been unwillingly forced. In the last presidential eloction Presi dent McKinley carried the county by a plurality over Bryan of 5,732. He has done nothing to weaken his strength with the people. His conservative and patriotic administration has justified the confidence of his frionds and won the respect of his political enemies. He will meet the samo adversary and the issues of this campaign will not bo essentially different. There is no reason to suppose that tho people will bo willing to reverse the verdict rendered four years ago, or to accept the man or the measures re pudiated by them in the last election. They will not bo willing to throw away the substantial gain in general pros perity, or to try experiments with financial theories that have been proved to be false and dangerous. They will not fail again to honor the man whose good sense and steady courage guided the country through the most brilliant and successful war of tho century, and secured for our army and navy the re spect and admiration of the world. But his election will avail nothing un less a friendly congress shall also be re turned to sustain him in his labors. The opportunity to add one to his sup port from this county presents itself, and I have faith to bolievo that William McKinley will pilot the ship another voyage, and that Luzerne will send him a hand to help. Henry W. Palmer. Wilkesbarre, June 2, 1900. Commenting on the above letter, tho Wilkesbarre Record says: "In his own forceful and emphatic language Mr. Palmer states to the Re publican voters tho platform on which he stands. He needs no introduction to the people of this district, among whom all the years of his manhood have been passed, where ho lias fought success fully the battle of life, as well as tho battles of Republicanism. It is unnec essary to speak of the qualifications of Henry W. Palmer to fill with marked ability any station in public life, hut he possesses in an unusual measure the qualities that bring distinction and na tional fame to inon in the popular brancli of the United States congress. "In tho houso of representatives ho would appear to advantage by the sido of the leaders in the debates on great national and international questions and measures. Pew men in this section of the state have been closer students of the great issues that will come before the next congress for final solution and the creating of national policies relating thoreto. No man in this district is en dowed by nature with a liner quality of courage in maintaining his convictions. "The Pennsylvania delegation in con gress would be immensely strengthened by the addition of a man of such mark ed ability, courage and aggressiveness in debate as Henry W, Palmer." PUBLIC OPINIO!!. Opinion* From Various Sonrrn OB ((ufallnna ol the Day. Doubtless Mr. Carnegie's $180,000,000 Infant industry will require a little special legislation to protect it against the shirtless people of other nations.— Washington Post. Statesmen frequently change their minds, but Senator Beveridge is the first one on record to hold a joint de bate with himself during the one ses sion of congress.—Chicago Record. What is the reason that this tariff rate, anomalous, unheard of, unprece dented and temporay, should be applied to Porto Rico, while the other day a bill was passed in the other house ap propriating $2,000,000 for Porto Rico from the treasury?— Senator Cushman K. Davis. The highest considerations of Justice and good faith demand that we should not disappoint the confident expecta tion of sharing in our prosperity with which the people of Porto Rico so glad ly transferred their allegiance to the United States. We should treat the in terests of this people as our own. I wish most strongly to urge that the customs duties between Porto Rico and the United States be removed.—Secre tary of War Root in his annual report. No presldont of the United States has ever had at his command such a vast volume of pntronage as President Mc- Klnley, and no president has used this patronage so remorselessly and greed ily for personal or political ends. Since civil service reform was instituted in a modest way under Grant, no presi dent has given it so many backward blows as McKinley. In fact it may be said he has destroyed the civil service reform, for no matter who succeeds him In the presidential office the polit ical law of reprisal will finish the work McKinley commenced.—Pittsburg Post. It is true that the language of the treaty of Paris provides that the polit ical and civil rights of the people in the ceded islands shall be determined by congress; but by congress as con gress is controlled by the constitution —and not by congress acting with the absolutism of an English parliament. The constitution created congress, gave it its life and power and action, con trols its authority, and directs its en ergies. Congress can do nothing not authorized by the constitution. In no section, either by grant or implication, Is there any authority for two classes of people—citizens of states, and sub jects of congress.—Senator Bate. Speaking of the forces "which dom inate the two houses of congress," President McKlnley has been doing a little dominating himself. It was at his desire that the Porto Rlcan tariff bill first passed the house, in opposi tion to the "plain duty" expressed in the executive annual message. Mr. McKlnley would have been glad enough If the house of representatives had put the measure through "unbeknownst" to him, but the party could not be lined up on the subject till the "tip" came from the president himself. The trouble was that the men who domi nated congress dominated the presi dent first.—Cincinnati Enquirer. When a newspaper attacks the hired girl, just because she wor s for n liv ing, and calls her a "kitchen mechan ic, ' ft is time that that element of the community snoutd rise up In arms. The hired girl or any other working girl is far his or their superiors. It is Just as honorable to work In a kitchen as it Is to sit in the parlor with your legs crossed just because "Pap" has money. This would he a great country If all were wealthy and no one to hire to do the work, A girl who has the snap and energy to earn a livelihood at honorable employment, be It in the kitchen or the store, the office or the dressing room, is just as good as nny millionaire who drives a bobtail team or nny man who belongs even to the best social ciubs.—Franklin Leader. "David .Starr Jordan, of the Leland Stanford university, told me that at the beginning of the Spanish war about (10 of the students of that Institution entered the army with the expectation of being sent to engage the Spaniards In Cuba, They were switched off by the government, however, and ordered to Manila, where they were sent against the natives of Luzon. It was this California regiment which led the troops In the capture of the Filipino capital, and they brought hack with them and gave to Mr. Jordan docu ments and reports which showed a wonderfully well organized system of government on the island. These 60 young men from that western univer sity are now scattered throughout Cal ifornia and Mr. Jordan told me that each one of them was an earnest and hard working missionary In the cause of antl-imperlalism."—Edward Atkin son. Nine months ago printing paper was selling at $35 a ton. Now the price Is from S6O to S7O. The International Paper company—a giant trust—con trols the output of all the large pulp and paper mills, and publishers are squeezed to the extent that they are being ruined financially. Congress has been asked to repeal the duty on paper and pulp. Bills have been in troduced, but they slumber In Dalzell's committee. The little Dandy Jim con gressman from Pittsburg sits down on the publishers' appeals and tells the newspaper men to be patient and re lief will come after awhile in .the ordi nary course of business. That's com forting, Isn't It? After the monopoly vultures have eaten all our flesh our bones can be set up for grinning skel etons and sold to the doctors. The publishers of this country should unite and go down to Washington and make their demands known in such a wny that our $5,000 a year hired men would give heed. Editors have largely been Instrumental In making the statesmen representing us at Washington, and some of them have been manufactured out of pretty poor material. They should be given to understand that they will be held accountable. Individ ually and collectively, for the passage of a bill taking the duty off pulp and paper; also the passage of an anti-trust law with teeth in it,—Meadvllle Demo crat, OUT OF THE ORDINARY. A single human hair will support four ounces without breaking. The Congo river has at one place eighty-two waterfalls within a dis tance of 154 miles. At a recent civil service examination for promotion In the New York fire department every candidate failed, in cluding Itichard Croker's nephew. Until recently sea shells and cocoa nut shells were current coin of the realm In Slam, 880 of the former be ing change for one of the latter. The sparrow exterminators in Bos ton have destroyed 1,100 nests on the common in two days. The public gar den and small parks are next to be at tacked. A six-year-old West Sulljvan (Me.) girl, while looking through a book, came to a picture of a skeleton. Run ning to her mother she cried: "Oh, mamma! See! Here's a man God be gun and never finished." The tube of a 12-inch gun, which Is used In some warships, has fifty spiral grooves inside, which cause the shot to revolve at the rate of seventy-five times per second as it rushes through the air. A correspondent of one of the Bos ton papers vigorously suggests that "a little of the money that will be needed to exterminate the sparrows be ex pended In buying chloride of lime to sprinkle In the halls and corridors of the seat of our city government." A woman In Ottawa, Ks., recently received from her Ron in Manila, a package which was wrapped in brown paper. She was about, to lay this paper away as a souvenir when she discov ered that it bore the printed card of an Ottawa merchant. It had made the round trip to Manila.

A man who has been gathering gum In the Megantic region of Maine tells of a most remarkable deer yard, which begins a mile northwest of Mt. Abram and extends six miles In one direction. He was gathering gum when he dis covered what he thought to be an or dinary deer yard, but soon found It to be a mammoth one. He counted no less than ninety deer, bucks and does, and the former had shed their horns, giv ing parts of the yard the appearance of a bone yard. An Auburn (Me.) man came home a few nights ago to find his wife standing in a rocking chair with a broom In her hand, while the cat played with a mouse on the floor. Whenver she started to get down out of the chair the cat would let the mouse go, and she was glad to hasten back to a place of safety. When her husband came to the rescue she had been balancing In the rocking chair for about an hour. In one of the lower counties of Ken tucky recently a ragged, disreputable tramp stole a pair of oxen and sold them. A shrewd young lawyer under took his defence and when the case was called a well dressed, clean shav en, good looking man took his place in the dock. The' change was so great that none of the men who had seen him with the oxen were able to com pletely identify him, and he was ac quitted. Here are a few names taken at ran dom from the delinquent tax list of Hawaii for 1898, as printed In one of the Honolulu papers: Alapakl. Blla Alapal, Ah Kui, Ah You, C. J.

The "K's" take up three columns of space, being three times as numerous as the delinquents under any other letter. The wisdom of the injunction "Don't be a clam" is Illustrated afresh In ths news from the Shrewsbury river, where it is said that the clams, though fat and Juicy, open their mouths and die almost immediately on being taken out of the water. This peculiar state of affairs is said to be due to the fact that the heavy and constant firing of big guns at the Sandy Hook ordnance proving grounds produces a sort of hysteria or nervous prostration In the bivalves. A woman evangelist is converting many sinners In Missouri. In one of her addresses the other day she said: "There is a man in this house who is untrue to his wife! I am going to throw this hymnbook at him!" She raised the book as if she was going to throw it, and every man but one in the house ducked his head to avoid the book. Then she blistered the dodgers and lauded the one true man. It was afterward learned that he was deaf and dumb. RAM'S HORN BUGLE CALL. Discipline makes conscience a trusty friend. A good man finds self-reproach sharper than reproof. Men. like bullets, need to be aimed right to hit the mark. If a preacher gets rusty he will be a poor pipe for the Water of Life. Environments are the settings to the diamonds of virtue and mercy. It is the man who is trying to give the,earth away who gets it for him self. The preacher must have much faith In men, or they will have none in his message. Reason can no more comprehend God than a yard-stick can understand mathematics. Science halts when the lamp of rea son goes out; Faith walks hand in hand with the Infinite. The attempt to make the Bible suit all our notions is like twisting a sign post to suit a cross-eyed man. JUST SO. Marriage to the average man is a luxury; to the average woman It Is on ly a necessity. A man, is always worth just as much money as he can raise to keep himself out of Jail. No man has any real idea of the length of a minute till his wife makts him wait ten of them before he takes off a mustard plaster. When two women first see each oth er, each one always wonders whether the other one is married; when it's two men, each wonders what the oth er one In worth. WITH JUNE COMES SUMMER NEEDS!
