Alexander COnnell.

Alexander Connell comes before the
laboring classes this fall as one best
qualified to represent them in legisla-
tive halls at Harrisburg. All his years
have been passed among the sons of toll
ana he is, therefore, well able to judge
of the needs of the workingman. Mr.
Connell was born in Minooka thirty
three years ago and has spent his entire
life among the hardy workers OF the
South Side, whose interests he has ever
had at heart He is true Republican
and has performed effective service for
his party. For several seasons he has
represented his ward ably in the city
councils and has been noted for his
brilliancy and fearlessness.
Three years ago the Twentieth ward
had Democratic majority of 6OO Mr..
Connell was elected by majority of
twenty-five votes. His representation
Of the ward in the council chamber
has been the pride of his constituents.
lHolouSHly Nelseu III pe'i lie'iiiSii'o'i
rules, eloquent and forceful in debate,
he has exhibited qualities of states
manship that will place him in the front
rank at Harrisburg. The laboring man
who wants recognition in the state leg
islature will do well to cast his ballot
for Alexander Connell. He is a man
who understands their needs and is a
man amply fortified to champion their
cause.

The Future of Silver.

1t is a significant fact, in connection
with the interview with William Con-
nell, elsewhere in this issue, that the
only party which offers hope to the west
is the Republican party. 1t has pro-
nounced unequivocally in favor of BIZ
metallism, and it means what it says.
1t Is not party of extremists, and 1t
will not promise the impossible. But
it has a consistent record Of meeting
every real emergency without sacrifice
of any honest interest.
1t would be idle to deny that the con-
dition of the west, as depicted by fair
minded visitors from the east who have
no axe to grind, is one which calls for
legislative action further than that
taken by congress in its recent special
session. 1t would not be safe to re-
open this question while the control OF
the government is vested in inexperi-
enced and inefficient hands. The coun-
try will never consent to the introduc-
tion of disturbing innovations. It has
no more money to lose on Missionaries
and cranks.
But it can certainly afford, when this
free trade insurrection shall be safely
conquered by Republican ballots, to pro-
ceed to a conservative and yet kindly
consideration Of western coinage
claims. The principle of protection tc
American industries is not restricted
in the minds of honest Republicans, tC
any section. 1t applies with equal CO.
gency and force to the west as it does
to the east; and to the south as well as
to the north. If 1t shall be possible, as
Mr.. Connell suggests, to coin Ameri
can silver at prudent ratio withou
incurring the danger Of being swampet
by an influx Of foreign bullion, who
would object? Certainly, it is no timt
for extreme views on this question
and honest discussion can surely do NJ
harm.

Is q Benefit to Labor.

Jermyn Press: "Four typesetting ma
chimes have been introduced into the COM
posing rooms of the Scranton Tribune,
and as consequence the paper last Sat
urday presented a new face to its readers
The change was vast Improvement, and
the proprietors are to be congratulated On
the success that warranted such O step.
The Introduction of labor saving machn-
cry into the printing Office is not an omin-
Gus sign, as many would suppose. 1t may
cause temporary inconvenience by the dis
placement of certain proportion of COM
positors, but the final outcome will be more
reading for the same expenditure. Com
positors will still be in demand for set
ting advertisements and job work, and
even number of those displaced by the
innovating machine will be employed to
work the same, for 1t has been demon
strated that the expert compositor becomes
the most expert operator of the typeset-
ting machine. Slowly, but surely, the
masses are recognizing the fact that so
called labor saving machines actually Gre
ate labor, or at least give an impetus to
the demand for the same. How many
centuries would 1t have taken to develop
the resources of this great country If the
only means of locomotion were the an
Client, and almost forgotten, ox-cart
How many scholars would there now be
In this or any other land If the only meth
cd of communicating information to the
masses were the old-fashioned quill pen?
How many centuries might the mssionar-
| les have labored among our heather fell
low creatures If they had not the printing
press, wondrous labor saver, as an aid ?
Yet it can be clearly shown that every
mile of railway built has caused cor
responding demand for laborers every inn
provement in any machine has increased
| the demand for that machine and its pro-
duct. The introduction of the typesetting
machine will simply increase the demand
for reading matter, for the fortunate own
ers of the machines, in their eagernessI to
| outstrip their less fortunate brethren, will
make 1t point to supply more reading
| for a cent than was once thought pos
sible; and the public appetite once whetted
will insist on q perennial supply. Conse-
quently, the publisher who is in the rear

A Lack of Confidence.

In view Of the fact that a number of
operatives have recently been tempor-
arily suspended at the ordinarily pros

Pittston, a representative Of the Pitts.
ton Gazette has interviewed Mr.. Elli-
thorp, the efficient manager, as to the
cause for such an unusual course. His
reply is whole volume of condensed
business fact, as compared with the
fictitious trade booms which are being
manufactured before election, in the Of.
fees of the Democratic newspapers;
and 1t takes on additional significance
when one knows the conservative and
truthful character of the man.
Mr.. Ellithorp said that this slack con-
dition Of trade is general. Nearly all
of the New England mills are also run
ming shorthanded. Ordinarily, he said,
the Luzerne mills, at this season of the
var, have been kept in operation a.
their full capacity preparing for the
next seasons trade, but combination
of circumstances has made it neces-
sary now to curtail 'le product. Mr..
Ellithorp attributes the present dull
ness to the general business depression
that has prevailed for year past, and
to the numerous labor disturbances
which have tended materially to cut
down the purchases Of nearly all classes
of people. The general feeling among
the trade, he says. Is that these condi-

tions, besides resulting In the present
slackness, will also result in cutting
down the prices of manufactured goods
during the coming season. Laboring
under this expectation, merchants the
country over are carrying as little
stock as they can possibly manage to
get along with in order to be prepared
for the change in prices. Manufactur.
ers necessarily follow the merchants in
cutting down stock on hand, and Mr.,
Ellithorp says that the Luzerne mills
are at present carrying the smallest
stock that they have had on hand at this
season during the eight years of their
establishment.
1t will be observed that Mr.. Ellithorp
does not give his explanation a politi-
cal twist; and yet there is not a bust.
ness man among our readers who does
not know that the great and damaging
uncertainty which has for eighteen
months hung over trade in this country
has been directly due to fears connect,
ed with Democratic tariff legislation.
The Democratic party has not com
manded the confidence of the business
interests Of the country; and a party
which cannot do that cannot success
fully govern this republic.
The election of Republican major
ity in congress would give courage and
stability to now timid and discouraged
tradesmen.

office has aught but good words for the
accommodating official and his affable
assistants. The efficiency of Mr.. Pryor
has been recognized by the Republicans
with the unanimous nomination of the
popular official to q second term. No
other prominent Republican cared to
contest his claim to the office; Mr..
Pryor's faithful service to both party
and trust having been observed and ac-
knowledged by all, it seemed most fit
ting that he should be called to another
term of service.
Mr.. Pryor comes before the people
with an unshaken record for his fidel-
ity to the Republican party and to the
principles which make this country the
greatest upon the globe. In his official
capacity as well as in private life his
devotion to the sound doctrines of pro-
lection and good government will be
answering. He owes no allegiance to
the party that would ruin American
prosperity in brainless experiment, and
will contribute nothing in its aid. See
to it that no encouragement is given
Democracy this fall. Vote for Clar-
ence E. Pryor.

THE POPULIST PLATFORM.


It's heap of consolation, this general
stagnation, when we find n fellow
mortal, an official, or a state,
That we can just get a shot at, curse, be-
labor, and get hot at-we can stand
so much the better the unhappy
froWns of fate.
How it fosters resignation If the tide of
emigration strands our bark upon a
sand bar, where it seldom rains or
SHOWS,
To attribute lack of rutions to the banks
and corporations-how the flreside
faces brighten! what intelligence 1t
shows!
What we wants a clap of thunder that
will burst the banks asunder-a divi-
sion of the plunder is the thing for
which we sigh,
But to talk of thrift of labor, that may
help to feed my neighbor, but for me,
Imust confess, it's just little bit toe
dry.
I'm a true-born politician, and it plainly
is my mission to secure a seat in con-
gress when my bleeding country
calls,
That is why am engaging in the war the
pops are waging, though the North
west winds are raging in my summer
overalls.

alike, and no one who has ever trans

THE FIELD OF POLITICS.

able Hazletonian who alternates between
Buck mountain and Harrisburg, is not
yet ready to concede that Halle county
is an impossibility. He declares that
there will, in all probability, be three pro-
positions advanced for the next legisla-
ture. The first will be new county; the
second, annexation to Carbon county;
the third, an appointment of an addi-
tional law judge to hold court in Hazle-
ton for the trial of lower end cases. There
must, he thinks, be some relief, and it can
only come by the passage of law COW
ering one or another of the adove proposi-
tions. 1t is said by men learned in the
law, that the constitution will permit of
law being passed to carry out any of
the schemes mentioned.
