Dopew has boon talking to the railroad men, and ex plaining tho effoct froo silver will have on thorn. This will apply with equal force to all other classes of workmen. , The froo silverites argue that it will give tho farmers double prices for their products. Assuming this to be truo and it follows that all wage earners must pay this in creased price for the food they eat, and in order to be even they must receive double wages. The railroad companies must charge doublo rates for transportation, and there must bo a general doubling up. It is a well known axiom that wages are the first to go down and the last to go up, and the rise is generally forced by strikes urged on by labor unions. The railroads and other employers will have trouble in increasing thoir rates. They will be involved in ' other financial difficulties, and will be unable to grant the demand for increase of wages. Then will loss arise of time, employment, loss of property and profits on business, and all the train of evils which follows j an unsettled and uncertain state of business affairs. Confidence and that feeling of security so necessary to stability will be destroyed, and for what gain. Suppose everything is doubled in price at the outset, whore is the assurance that these' prices will remain fixed. The silver of the world would be coined in our mints, and its purchasing power les sened as the supply increased. It could not be used in transactions with foreign nations, except at its bullion value, and at home prices would gradually rise with the pre mium on gold,or the decrease in the bullion value of silver which is the same thing. Can any one point out any value in Bimple inflation. There must be an accurate, absolute stand ard of measure which cannot vary or fluctuate. This is true whether in inches, feet, pounds, gallons, or money. If this standard changed in every State, in every State there would be a different value for a quantity by name, while the actual valuo for a fixed quantity remained tho same. Our friends seem to overlook these facts, and argue that in some way which cannot be ex plained clearly a large increase in the per capita of money would be an actual gain to them. ' They do not Boom to realize that they must in some manner procure this money, either by the sale of thoir produce, or by thoir labor and they do not take the further step and enquire what will le its purchasing, power after it is acquired. The silver mine ownor will be tho gainer, and he olone, for he will reap the benefit of tho firBt gront rise in value from bullion to money. After this money comes in the hands of the farmer and wages earner he will simply be obliged to pay out a double amount of it for the same articles which a gold dollar would buy at a determined valuo. Do the people want this f A WORD TO VOTERS. There is in this county a large number of order loving.law-ablding, respectable and respected democrats. Will those gentlemen go to the poMs and by thoir votes sanction the con duct of candidates, who not only furnish boer in unlimited' quantities to tho townslSp poorhouse in Ding man, but, by their presence under the guise of attending a Democratic club meeting aid and abet the disor derly and disgraceful gatherings which take place there Saturday nights. That these performances are in charge of the constable of that town ship is all the more reason why he and they should bo suppressed. The act of assembly says "It shall not be lawful for any person with or without a license to furnish by sale gift or otherwise any spiritu ous, malt or brewed liquors to a minor, or a person of known intem perate habits, or a porson visibly at foctod by intoxicating drink, under a penalty of not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars, and undergo an imprisonment of not less than twenty nor more than ninety days. The act also provides that it shall be the duty of the Constablo to as certain if any of the provisions of this or any Act of Assembly relat ing to the sale or furnishing of such liquors have boen or are being vio lated, and whonever he shall learn of any such violations make written report of the same to the court with the names of the witnesses, and to do whatever shall be in his power to bring the offender to justice j and upon any neglect or refusal of any such officer tft perform the aforesaid duty he shall be guilty of wilfully or negligently making a false return, and the court shall suspend him from office, and he shall be tried and if found guilty fined not exoeedlng five hundred dollars and imprisoned not exceeding two years or both or either at the discretion of the court. Mr. Fisher may have occasion to answer at October term if he does not perform his duty. There will be people watching his return. TRUE DEMOCRACY. Bourke Cockran,the brilliant Tam many leader said on his return from Europe "I regard this as the gravest crisis in the history of the coun try exceeding in importance tliat of 1860. The secession movement wns but an attempt to divide this Country between two Governments, each of them designed to protect property within the limits of its j urisdiction . The movement launch ed at Chicago is an attempt to para lize industry by using all the powers of Government to take property from the bands of those who created it and place it in the hands of those who covet it. This is a question of morals as well as of politics. No political convention can issue a valid license to commit offenses against morality and I decline to' follow Mr. Bryan in a 1 crusade against honesty and the rights of labor" ' s If I can do anything to thwart a movement the success of which I should regard as a deplorable cala mity not only to this Country but to civilized society everywhere. I shall certainly do it. SLIGHTLY MIXED. It must be the Btudy of the two platforms and the attempt to har monize them has queered the minds t)f some Democratic editors. The last issue of the Monroe Dem ocrat came out July S3, so, its edi tor must be thinking of inflating the months, giving the farmers a longer year to work in as it were. Well, this increase in time would have about the same substantial value for him that an increase in money un der the free silver proposition would "Its all in you eye Butty Martin." Tho Dispatch last week fixed tiie time for holding the Democratic Primary Aug. 15, at the head of the column and in two following places Aug. 5. It is perhaps immaterial that Saturday does not fall on the 6th, that discrepancy can be over come by the 10 to 1 process. This arrangement will be highly conveni ent, for, instead of a defeated candi date being obliged to drown the bal lot boxes in the canal, or consign their contents to the devouring flames, he can lawfully have it over aguin if not pleased with the result. We are exceedingly gratified at the reception the Press is meeting with in all parts of the county, and wish to thank our friends for the kindly interest shown. We shall strive to make its contents entertaining and instructive, and to give the county nearby and national news. That this may be effectually done our friends will greatly oblige us by Bonding in personal items relating to them selves and friends, and, also such matters of news as may be of local or general interest. One great aid in making a paper successful is the oo-Operation of its friends and well wishers. You cannot employ yonr spare time bettor than in aiding your county paper. Write us lot-ters. The other day a silver orator down in Jersey was illustrating to an admiring audience the beauty of having a pocket full of the white metal, and reaching down in his trousers produced a hand full of coins, remarking, " Enough of this is good enough for me." As he jingled the piocos over in his hand, his brow suddenly darkened, and in a tone slightly tinged with sulphur, he remarked, " I wonder what scoundrel stuck that Mexican dollar on mo, the blnnk thing is only worth fifty cents." The beauty of free sllvor faded into a discussion of the damp weather, and the best methods to make hens lay, III ram P. Boover, of Doylostown, Pa., a life-long Democrat, noted for his activity in behalf of that party, both in Bucks and Montgomery countios,and who represented Bucks at the Democratic National Conven tion telegraphed Irving Wanger, the Republican candidate for Congress. "Save 100 badges and oanes for tliat number of ex-Democrats from this county who will vote for and sup port you and the entire National Republican ticket at the coming election this fall." The Milford Dispatch ' last week put on a new and larger suit of clothes. The general make-up is handsome, the contents newsy and interesting, the paper is all home printed and Mr. Hart, the editor, is to be congratulated on the greatly Improved appearance, of Pike county's Democratic organ. Long may it wave. The candidate for county office who ties to the Barber cause for Congress courts defeat. As a can didate Mr. Barber would be no strength to the ticket. Lansford Record. A number of prominent Demo crats in this county are presumably on the silver question like they are on the liquor law. In favor of the law but against its enforcement. If Watson or Sowoll should lot go of the tail board a moment to moist en their hands, what would become of them. Th! Three Political "R." Now York "Sun" Dem."

It will be of no advantage to tho silver states, beosnss their silver will be Jut ashard to get from the ground as now, and a pound of it will boy no moss teel or powdor or any of tns necessaries of life than now.

The sllverite candidate for president nominated at Chicago declared t "Ws are fighting for our homes, ear families and posterity. " Mr. Bryan nog looted to say how a policy of debt repudiation and property confiscation would estab llih more firmly the right of men who build homes to own them. It as he seems to think, the fact that some debt ors are poor justifies the wholesale rob bery of creditors, would not the same logio entitle the millions who have no land or homes to share the property of the farmers who have by aard work se cured a home and a little wealth? Can an agitation which attacks capital and property rights bo truly said to be a movement in defense of the people's homes? There are about 6,000,000 American who have saved np a little money and deposited it in savings and other hanks or in building and loan aaaooiationa A large proportion of th 6,000,000 have saved from their small earnings ia hope of one day having enough to get a home for thoir old age.

In the speech which gained hlra the Democrats nomination for president the Hon. W. 3. Bryan of Nebraska said in reference to what he termed "the great paramount issuei" "My friends, we shall declare that thit nation it able to legislate for its own penple on every question without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation on earth, and opon that issue we expect to firry every single state in this Union." '" It this means anything, it means that the "paramonnt issue" on which the tilverlte campaign it to be fought it not free silver at 16 to 1, bnt the question whether this country Is able to legislate for itt own people. On this iasne there can be no dispute. Of course the TJol ted States can legislate without the aid or consent of any other country. No sdvo oate of sound money will for a moment deny Mr. Bryan's assertion, nor has any one ever done so. If congress chooses to pass a law that the tides shall never rise more than four feet along any part of our aeaooast, it hat a perfect right to do to. If the United States wishes to enact legislation forbidding the Russian thistle to grow, it it able to do to with out the content of any other nation. If congress ohootot to fix the price of sugar at 4 cents per pound, it Qitf legislate to that effect without any aid from the hated British or Frenchman. There la no doubt about our ability to legislate on every question without asking any body's oonsent, - But if congress passes foolish laws, will they have any effect? That la the real tatue. Oan the prioe of soon a oom Bsodity as sugar be Used by our laws? Certainly not Equally Impossible would it be to ftx the prioe of silver at 16 to 1 of gold. No believer in sound money thinks or says that we cannot pass a free and unlimited 16 to 1 coinage law. They do say, and all the experience of mankind proves that they are right that under such a law this country cannot alone maintain the value of silver at the present ratio. i Mr. Bryan's attempt to run away from the question to our ability to raise the value of all the world's silver without the agreement (not the content at he states it) of the great commercial nations shows the weakness of the sil ver cause. Confusing the ability to leg islate, which nobody denies, with the ability to control values by legislation may do for a stump speech. It will not deceive the American people, who know woll enough that our laws cannot fix the value of silver or of any other labor product. , Wliw Oar VraSa later Am. In declaring for the free coinage of tllver independently of all other coun tries the Chicago convention in effect declared for a different and lower money standard than that used by the great oommerolal nations with which we trade. Trade and oommeroe follow the lines of least monetary resistance, and out of total merchandise imports and export last year of 11.689,608,180 only 1 168,888,8 J7 was from single silver standard countries lest than 11 per cent Even in our South American trade, about which to much has been said, out of a total of U5,698,066 only per cent II, 891,868, was with silver stand ard countries, while 7 peroent, 106, 117,864, was with single gold standard countries, and (81,488,888 was with bi metallio countries. Praotioally speaking, all bimetal Ho countries are on a gold basis, their legal tender tllver being exchangeable for gold, but the bimetallic trade is small. Let Europe stirve a the example.

Our trade and oommeroe are not only on "a gold basis, " but are on "a single gold standard. " To adopt silver mono metallism, which Independent free ooin age would surely produce here ss it has everywhere else, would be to permit Europe to fix the price of our surplus product on a gold basis, while it could pay us in our own legal tender silver dollars coined freely out of 68 oents worth of bullion. Is this butineasr Why Mat aa Can Datum We all know that this country can suttaia a limited amount of silver cur rency at a ratio of 16 to 1 because it is already doing it Bat if it oan sustain aa unlimited amount coined at the tame ratio, why can It not aa well sustain it at a ratio of 8 to If In other words, why eaa It not strike from our 10 oent piece the Inscription "one dime" and make it "one dollar f" If this be prao ttoable and it aaems to me that the one is as practicable as the other is not the pi position of unlimited 16 to 1 an ex tzarttgant and utelett watte of the most Valuable commodity which the world has ever known?

' 'We bave more in circulation today than ever before and more per capita than any free silver country on earth. "Our dollar will buy more sugar, coffee, flour, mcol, meat medicine, hardware and clothing than In 1878. ' "A barrel of corn, a bushol of wheat or 100 pounds of tobacco will buy nearly donblo as much of the articles that farmers consume at the some kind of corn, wheat or tobacco would buy in 1878. "The wages of the laboring man will bny double as much of the necessaries of life now as in 1878, and his wages have not been reduced one-fourth as much aa the purchasing power of his money has been increased. " All of the atiove propositions we aseert wlthont the fi ar of intelligent contra diction.

" This is a line of comparison that Brynn't friends hare made a mistake in suggesting. Linoobi realized that in the lung run the mass of the people are honest in their inclina tions and are not to be misled for any great length of time. The common people know an honest dollar from a fraudulent dollar. They know the dif: ference between statesmanship and will-e'-the-wispisiu. They cannot be per manently blindod by dazzling epigrams or the picturesque attractions of youth and eloquence. Common sense is the in alienable heritage of the common people. Vo Polloy Holder.
