A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.
A City Lady Who Required Proof

There recently appeared in the San Fran.

advertisement III which the Edwin W. Joy
Company, in proof of the curative properties
of Joys Vegetable Sarsaparila, offered to
submit it to The terrific test OF mo cure no

are so convincing as to be almost beyond
belief. Here is another, written under date

This is interesting and significant, in

Some people seem to imagine that a
law providing for the free coinage Of
silver will a. so furnish free silver money
to everybody, 1t is very grave mis-.
take. Neither the Government or pri-
vate individuals will ever willingly pay
out money without receiving an equiva
lent therefor, and no amount of legisla
ton will enable man to honestly &C.
quire money without working for it,
These are self evident facts that seem to
be overlooked by some Enthusiasts.

The solid men OF Boston are wildly OPP
posed to the enactment OF q silver free
coinage law by Congress. When the
senate passed the free coinage bill last
week Bost,ns Mayor called a. public
meeting to protest against such
measure. Faneuil Hall was crowded and
strong resolutions against free coinage
were passed. Hon, Edward Atkinson in
a speech said that small fraction of
Senators from the remote border States
had combined together as representatives
of the people, to force in circulation
dollar made of silver. Faneuil Hall, he
said, calls upon the great West and the
great West will surely respond. 1--WE
do not call upon the sparsely settled bor'
der States, whose little product OF silver
mines is not equal in value to the hens
eggs annually produced in the barn yards
of the country; not even equal in value
to the poultry and eggs of poor New
England. The farmers and workmen, the
manufactures and all the solid sense of
this country is against this measure

The editors of the big free trade news
papers, of which the New York Herald
is the most prominent, should make
their editorial and news columns come
nearer together, if they wish to mskeany

printed a half column editorial about the
Mckinley tariff law having shut us ont
from the products OF the world, and
right on the next page was news item
referring to the Spring trade among New
York merchants, which stated that the
importations were much larger than ever
before and that business was booming
1t is nonsense for any paper to misrepre'
sent the new tariff law. If by the time
the Presidential election rolls around the

The ecumenical Methodist confer
ence in session at Washington last
week, at which every branch of that
denomination and nearly every country
in the world was represented, dis
cussed many subjects of interest to
those who are not connected with
Wesleyism. Among the papers read
were several on the attitude of the
Church to labor, and the opinion of
the delegates was unanimous in favor
OF the Church taking part in the social
problems that now confront the world.
That the laboring element is not
receiving justice was conceded by all,
and the views expressed on the ques-
tion were in marked conformity with
those enunciated in the recent en-
cyclical letter of Pope Leo. That two
of the leading denominations, though
differing widely in religious affairs,
should begin work on similar lines is
another evidence that the solution OF
the labor question is one of utmost
Importance to Christianity and must
be solved as soon as possible.

In the AmerIcdR AgFcultu1ia for No
vember Postmaster General Wanamaker
states definitely for the first time that
the experiment made by the Post Office
Department for free delivery in farming
districts show that the increase of
revenue more than pays all the increased
expense. He believes that universal
free delivery would therefore be self
sustaining. Mr.. Wanamaker's article
also contains this statement of the case.
when town grows to 1000 popula-
tion and puts down foot walks and puts
up numbers on the houses, the Post
Office Department is authorized by act
of Congress to establish carrier service
to deliver mail matter at the doors of
houses and offices. AS the town in
creases, postal stations are established.
Thus the Postal Service keeps pace with
the growth of the town. While all this
postal work is going on at the thickly
populated points, the farmers, quarry
men, blacksmiths, millers and artisans,
all paying the regulation rates of postage,
are left to get their mail as best they can
from the post office in the village or at
the railway station. True enough, the
village or crossroads inhabitant or the
dweller on the farm chooses his home
for his family and might live in the city,
where gas and water and mails are
brought to his door; but when people
everywhere pay the same rate of postage,
why should one portion of them have
mail facilities, denied to other portions?
Is 1t fair to the rural localities to refuse
postal service equal to that provided for
the cities? Is it not reflection on the
intelligence and aspirations of the farmer
and the artisan to ignore his need of the
conveniences of correspondence and of
supplies of newspapers and magazines ?
Does it not retard the settlement of
country districts to neglect to provide, in
some form or other, means for at least
daily intercourse with the rest of the
world"

$1,OO0,000. 1t was dead sure thing

only $4,000 reached the Treasury.
Not content with defrauding the State
out OF 100000 McCamant and his

does not need investigating. Vote
for Wright and Tilden, who will show
who the thieves are.

The candidates on the Democratic
county ticket are as clean a set of men
as ever asked for a vote in Luzerne
County. They are working together
for the success of the whole ticket.
There is not the slightest evidence of
discord among them, and they speak
of one another, privately and other
wise, in the most commendable terms.
They are in the field to win, but they
do not wish to secure victory by sacri-
ficing any one man on the ticket.
"All of us or none of us" appears to
be their motto, and their manner of
conducting a campaign inspires the
ranks with that harmonious feeling SO
essential to success.

No Chief Executive of an American
State was ever called upon to publish
in an official document record of
collusion, fraud and robbery in public
office so widespread and monstrous as
that to which Governor Pattison
placed before the State Senate in a
special message last week. The
message is a characteristic document,
Just such paper as might have been
looked for under the circumstances.
1t is a plain, unvarnished statement
of the facts and alleged facts which
have been brought out during the
various inquiries which have followed
the revelation of the crime of John
Bardsley, and which duplicates two Of

FREELAND, PA, OCTOBER %, 1891.

A GOOD many voters in Pennsylvania
would not be disposed to hold the
Republican party responsible for the
incompetence, carelessness or dis
honesty of individuals, but they will
hold it responsible for any endeavor
to shield its members from perfectly
proper investigation, or to protect
them from any punishment that they
deserve. And that is just what the
Republican Senate is attempting to
do by its delays and petty objections
to a thorough investigation of the
thieves in it's party.
