Editorial.
KIRKPATRICKFOR CONGRESS.
Never In the history of this Con
gresstonal District was the outlook
bo bright for the election of a Repub
lican to Congress, and with Judge
Kirk pn trick as the candidate no
thing should be loft undone to make
his election certain.
The Democrats are divided in can
didates and in spirit. No matter
what they may do they cannot re
gain, as they do not deserve, the
confidence of the voters. Many are
disgusted and though a truce may
be patched between the warring
leaders, they cannot lead a large
numbor around In their devious
meantlerings.
Every Republican should work
from now to the closing of the polls
No. 3, for McKinley and Kirkpat
rick. Let us astonish the natives,
and make the " one green spot " a
clean Republican spot.
CRIME IN PIKE.
A certain New York paper, is ar
rogating to itself all the credit for
arousing public sentiment in the
Sshulz case, and thereby compelling
our oounty officials to take action. .
The Prksj has Insisted and stiil as
sorts that our people are law-abiding,
and in favor of tho full enforce-'
nient of the laws, and the punish
ment of the guilty, but the diflloulty
has been that those offleiuls directly
entrusted with their administra
tion were lai and dilatory.
The commissioners are not law of
ficers and have nothing to do with
prosecuting crime and in this mat
tor they were powerless to take in
itiatory steps. They have not au
thorized any autopsy or any investi
gation, they have simply in the line
of their duty and powers expressed
their wish in oommon with the good
citizens of Pike that the proper of
ficials should take action, and that
such bills as were logal would be
paid. In doing this they have only
affirmed what was generally recog
nized that in a lawful and orderly
way they would do their duty as
custodians of the county funds.
We say this in justice to them and
to disabuse the minds of many poo
pie who are led to supiose by sensa
tional articles in the papers that our
oounty is a criminal paradise, and
our people opposed to the punish
ment of crime.
AN IMPARTIAL JUDGMENT.
Tho following extract from a pri
vate lutu-r written by a judtju of the
United Stntos Court find a Cleveland
appointeo, is sound in logic and sen
sible in conclusion. Coming from a
man of judicial mind, and ono per
sonally acquantfld with the candi
date, his words are entitled to
thoughtful consideration.
"Politics will determine many
things this year. Not only the fin
ancial question, but I am afraid that
the very saf(3ty of tho national gov
ernment is at stake. Many of the
declarations of the Chicago platform
are, I firmly believe, antagonistic to
our institutions, and I cannot con
ceive how any Republican or country-loving
Democrat can support
Bryan oven should he be inclined to
favor independent free silver coin
ago. Although I believe in tho theory of
the double standard, and bimetallism,
I do not consider their adoption by
this nation independently, to be ad
visable unless the two metals as coin
could bo kept at parity or upon an
equality. I do not favor silver
mono mctalism. This is the posi
tion taken by Republicans hero gen
erally and it now looks as if McKin
ley will carry Wyoming as I earnost
ly hope.
I know Bryan quite well personal
ly. What Gov. Flower said at In
dianapolis I know to be true ; "he is
an ambitions, unsteady and unsafe
man, a demagogue and, word jugg
ler." He is not only young in years
but he is of immature judgment. He
is not stable ; if President God save
the mark ! He would to-day cater to
the very worst elements interested
in national affairs j neither suffici
ently dignified to become the head
of a great nation,' nor conservative
enough to be a safe leader of the
people. I am firmly convinced tkat
a vote for him is almost a shot at
the old flag j it is certainly a blow
at American homes and firesides
and a fling at prosperity and indus-
HOW COBDEN FOOLED THE
FARMERS.
George B. Curtiss in "Protection
and Prosperity" relates how Rich
ard Cobdon and bis associates told
the farmers of England that free
trade would bring them prosperity.
He says :
Mr. Cobden ridiculed the warn
ings of Lord George Bentinck, Dis-
raloi and others. Referring to their
prophecies, he says :
"They have told them, the far
mers, with all the high authority
that belongs to their life and station
that the Corn Laws will be abolish
ed they tell their tools, tho papers,
liko Grandmamma, to deal out in
their diurnal twaddle the argu
ment! that if the Corn Laws were
abolished, the farmers would be
ruinod even if they paid no rent."
Again, in the same year Mr. Cob
don doclared that it was positively
demoralizing to argue that the Eng
lish farmer could not, with free im
ports, compete against the foreigner
Men who indulged in such reasoning
were, he said, "gross humbugs"
who were guilty of "a gratuitous
piece of impertinence." Free trade
lie added, "will make the Agricul
turist of this country capable of
competing with the farmers of any
part of the world."
"And yet to day the farms of Eng
land are ruined and the farmers a
class of paupers."
HOME TRADE VERSUS FOREIGN
TRADE.
Abraham Lincoln said : "When
an American paid twenty dollars for
stool rails to an English manufact
urer, America had tho steel and Eng
land had the twenty dollars. But
when he paid twenty dollars for
steel to an American manufacturer,
America had both the steel and the
twenty dollars."
The eminent economist and jurist
Sir John Barnard Byles, said :
j 'A nation, whether it consumes
its own products or with them pur
chases from abroad, can have no
more value than it produces. The
supreme policy to every nation,
therefore, is to develop the produc
ing forces of its own country. What
are they? The working mon, the
land, the mines, the machinery, the
water power," etc.
The advocates of tree trade, how
ever, corltend that foreign commodi
ties, "are always paid for by domes
tic commodities, and therefore the
purchase of foreign commodities en
courages domestic industry as much
as the purchase of domestio commo
dities. ' ' This proposition is present
ed for the purpose of showing tliat
imports aro always beneficial and
not harmful to a nation ; that as they
increase exports of domestic commo
dities must necessarily increase also
as foreign trade grows, homo trade
must also grow. It is from this that
they measure tho industrial growth
and prosperity of a nation by its for
eign trade. Although it has boon
fully demonstrated that increased
imports of commodities arising from
reduced duties or troo trade, would
not immediately be followed by cor.
responding exports of domestio com
modities, yet if it should be couoed-i
ed for tho sako of argument, that
for every import of commodities
there would Iks an export of domes
tic commodities which would great
ly argument the foreign exchange's
of tho United States, it. may still be
shown that homo trade or exchanges
of domestic commodities between
our own people is more profitable to
tho nation than foreign trade.
Tho Monroe Democrat last week
hoisted the namo of J. J. Hart for
Congressondorsed tho Monroe con
ferrees for thMr action, and stood
up manfully for our Congressman.
Tho Dispatch "refrains from com
ment" except to say that the "out
come is to bo deplored." This offers
a world of encouragment, and cheer,
to those gentlemen from Pike who
aided in bringing about a state of af
fairs "tho outcome of which is to be
deplored." Such recognition of feal
ty and loyalty is touching, and tho
conforrees from Piko must feel over
whelmed with gratitudo for this
commendation, and the complete
vindication afforded by such direct
and hearty encomium on their ac
tion. Truly virtue is its own re
ward. In Monroe tho Democratic county
committee passed resolutions com
mending the course of hftr conforroes
in tho convention ; but in Pike so
far as the public knows tho county
committee endorses the action of her
conferres, "nit." Possibly they as
sume that silence gives consent.

The Wheelmen.
The recent State meet of the
Pennsylvania Division, of the L. A.
W., held in Pittsburg, resulted in an
immediate gain of some 600 mem
bers to the organization, from the
western part of he State, and the
effect is shown in the number of ap
plications still being sent in from
that section. The meet brought the
League its objects and advantages to
the attention of the wheelmen of the
western part of the State in such a
forcible manner that no other result
could have been expected.
Tho Pennsylvania Division of the
League of American Wheelman has
increased in membership so materi
ally during the past six months that
this State is likely to prove the most
important of all in the election of
of the next president of the organi
zation. Pennsylvania now has over
10,000 members, being exceeded only
by New York, and it is so far in ad
vaneo of all other divisions that
whichover Way its votes are cast is
likely to influence the decision, if
more than one candidate for that
honor should be nominated.
The Committee on the improve
ment of Highways of the Pennsyl
vania division of tho L. A. W. is do
ing a great deal of quiet but effective
work. A permanent office has been
opened in Harrisburg and the plans
which are now being carefully laid
out will 'undoubtedly result in in
fluencing the passing of a now road
bill a the coming session of the
State Legislature.
The permanent office of the socre-tary-treasurer
of the Pennsylvania
division, L. A. W., located in the
Philadelphia Bourse, has already
proved a great convenience to Lea
gue members, particularly to visit
ing wheelmen. It is open daily from
9 a. m. to 5 p. in., and all business
inoonn6ction with the secretary's
office is transacted therei
Applications for membership may
be left there in person, and League
supplies of all kinds may be obtained
or information on any branch of
League work securod. '
L. A. W. members in this State
are highly gratifiod at the onormous
growth which the division has lately
attained and are determined that
there' shall be no stop to tho increase
For sovoral weeks past Pennsylvan
ia has had more applications for
membership than any other State,
and if this gwxl work is kept up the
roll at the end of the present year
will be five times greater than it was
at the befrinninK.
The Executive Committee of the
Pennsylvania division L. A. W. has
appropriated .'00 to the committee
on the improvement of hicrhwavs.
The committee, has under way a
road bill for presentation at the next
Legislature, which many members
or tliat body have promised to sup

Farmer's Wife Nonsense, Harvot I
don't believe silver s going to mako
folks rich. Ono'll havo to work for a
living if Bryan's elected just as hard as
if he isn't
F. I don't deny but what you're
head's level there, Jane. Some folks
will have to work harder, but it won't
be ns farmers. Wo'Jl como out on top
With freo silver. That's sure's shooton.
F. W. What crazy notion's in your
head now anyhow? li'you think farm
ers are smurt enongn to make laws
that'll take money out of other folks'
pockots and pat it into theirs?
F. P'r'aps not, but they're going to
try it. I s'pose yon don't see how free
silver'll help uh, but I da
F. W. If you'll take my advice,
you'll not bother yourself to death try-'
itig to get rich by free silver. I'll war
rant it won't work aa you oalo'late.
F. I'll toll you one way it'll help
me, Jane. Yon know that if we get
free coinage we will have silver dollars
worth 'bout 60 cents same's Mexican
dollars now.
F. W. I thought Bryan said that
silver'd be worth just as much as gold
wben we get free silver.
F. Yes, that's what he says in the
east so'8 ho won't enure the millbands
and savings bank folks too much. But be
don't talk that way ont here, because he
know's that ain't what we're after. We
want cheap money, so's prices of wheat,
corn and pork '11 be twioe as high, same
as in Mexico.
F. W. Supp's'n they are. Wouldn't
you have to pay twioe as much for
olothes and groo'r'es and everything else
you'd have to buy? If you got f3 instead
of $1, you'd have to spend $3 instead of
(1. It'd be as broad as it is long. If
that's the way silver's going to make you
rioh, you'll never get rich. 1
F. But I wouldn't have to spend $3
for every (1 1 spend now. You know, we
have at least two hired men the whole
year and three to five more from April
to November, besides the hired girl for
most of the year. Do joa reckon I'm
going to raise their pay when we get
free silver?
F. W. I 'pose so. Why shouldn't
you?
F. Just because I wouldn't have to.
P'raps after a year or so I'd give 'em
3 or $3 more a month, but nothing
like double what they're getting now.
I oalo'late I'd save between $800 and
fl ,000 in wages not quite so muoh on
John and Dave, because they board with
us, and of course the prices of some of
the things they eat would go op, but
I'd save 'bout half ou my day hands
Who live and board at homo. That's
how I iigger it, and it's 'cording to the
opinion of Governor Boies and other big
silver people. They say farm wages is
too high for profit a and that silver'll
bring 'em down.
F. W. And so that's why you're for
free silver, Harvotiriinea; want to client
your poor hired hands out of hulf their
wagoti, men who now can hardly keep
their families out of the poorhouBel I.
thought it was them Wall street Sby

F. Hold up there, Jane I Free silver's
going to save us 'lout 1,000 on what I
still owe on that t-1,000 mortgage.
Who d'you think'll lose that?
F. W. I don't care who'd lose it.
Tain't right to cheat anybody, but I
wouldn't say a word no long's It's some
body whooouM afford to lose it, but when
it comae tooheatiug your poor neighbors
it's time to put a stop to it I don't
oare if you never get that other farm
paid fur. I guess we won't starve on
this old farm. I'm going to tell John
and Dave and all the others Just how
free silver will hurt them, and I'll gel
them all to vote against Bryan. The

that, although Heir wages are nominally
tbe same or oven somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact, by
the rapid Increase of a spurious cur
rency, which, as it appears to make
money abound, they are at first inclined
to consider a blessing. It is not
until the prices of the necessaries of life
become so dear that the laboring classes
cannot supply thoir wants out of their
woges that their wagos rise. "
The Ieclaratloa of lndependeno
Was written by tbe man who said,
"Just principles will load ns to disre
gard legal proportions altogether, to
inquire into the market price of gold in
tho several countries with whioh we
shall principally bo connected in com
merce and to take an average from
them." But W. J. Bryan says it is dis
graceful to talk abont adjusting our
currency to tho currencies of the world.
Farmer Want Cheap Money,
The advuoittes of free coinnge in the
west and south don't tako any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
"contends" that tho adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to $1.20. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti
ments of these people are clearly ei
preshed by Jiuues Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, Ky. ,
who, wben asked the other day why he
was lor free silver, mode this reply t
I am for free silver becanse I am In debt.
and If wo Rut froo coinage I can pay my debts
with ono-hnlf of what it now coate nnder onr
prevent money standard. And another roafion.
I employ laborers on my furm. Tbey are the
creditors. 1 am tho debtor. Under free ooln
agn 1 can pay them with one-half it ooate me
now, for It will rniso the price of prodticte,
and I can then hire my farm help for 00 cents
a day and pay them in bacon at 16 oenta a
ponnd.
It must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be tbe result of tbo
free coinage agitation. ' The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri
can people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.
Nothing In It For Wage Earner.
Mr. Bryan has claimed that the freo
coinage of silver would benefit the
working peopla How they would so
cmro anything from the free coinage of
silver he does not say, perhaps because
he does not know. It is certainly a deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that a man buys for con
sumption in, the honsehold would be
raised in price, would wages be in
creased in proportion? It is not probable
that they would for years, if ever. As
soon as it became apparent that the free
coinage of silver wonld be undertaken
prices would be advanced, but wages
would remain stationary until employ
ers oould ascertain how they would be
affected. With the heavy losses that
many concerns would be compelled to
meet through the payment of outstand
ing accounts and notes in depreciated
dollars, it is very probable that the
woxkingman would have to wait a long
time for his wages to be raised. In the
interval he would have ample oppor
tunity to realize the stupendous folly
of the United States coining silver dol
lars at the ratio of 16 to 1 and debasing
its money, the lifoblood of oommeroe.

DemonettMtlon off Silver.
Silver was not demonetized by a oon
spiracy nor clandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
tho free silver men.
Silver was demonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago becanse it fluota
atil, becanse two yardsticks of un
equal length or two bushels of changing
quantity is an absurdity, an obstacle to
business and oommeroe.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, havo found it a delusion and
a snare and have come to the single
gold standard as a better thing.
The civilized world is now using
more silver, has sounder money and
lower intirest than ever before in the
history of mankind.
The attempt to return to the double
Ktand.irii is reactionary, illogical and
irrational and will not succeed. Revo
lutions go forward, not backward.
