Blaine on Bi-MetalIism.

The Republican financial policy,
as enunciated in its more recent
platforms, was predicted upon the
sound reasoning of Mr.. Blaine, who,
in "A speech in the United States
senate in 1870, laid down this fund
amental doctrine:
believe gold and silver to be the
money of the constitution-indeed,
the money of the American people
anterior to the constitution; money
which the organic law of the Re
public recognized as independent of
its own existence. No power was
conferred on congress to declare
that either metal should not be mon
ely. Congress has therefore, in my
Judgment, no more power to demon,
etize silver than to demonetize gold:
no more power to demonetize either
than to demonetize both"

fOct, since the recent reorganization
OF THE TRIBUNE's business management
the paid circulation of this journal has
regularly increased on an average more
than fifty copies each secu lar day.
For the dull summer time, this is not
bad. 1t couvinces us more thoroughly
than ever that the people Of Scranton
and vicinity know what to do with a
good newspaper honestly worth Its cost
price.
