Scranton's streets were scenes Of gay
ETY. and good feeling at midnight and
every individual out was possessed of
tin horn or some instrument equally
calculated to fill the air with sound
All seemed to be waiting for the last
hour of the old year to fade away and
when the last second had passed and
the season for 1894 lapsed into history,
the new year was greeted with recep-
ton that must have gladdened the heart
of old Father Time.
A hundred steam whistles sounded
the death knell of the old year and the
hills resounded with the differently
toned keynotes of escaping steam. Bells
rang out upon the frosty air and few
regrets We're passed upon the corpse of
1894; it was u year that swept the coun-
try with more failures and panics than
any other since the early days of the
country.
The Tribune this morning is pleased
to extend wishes of Happy New Year to
ITS great army of intelligent readers.

Days and Then Leaves.

Days and Then Leaves.
A very clever swindler came to town
last week and registered at the Wyom-
ing House under the name OF E. Z. Ed"
wards. He stopped Thursday and Fri
day at the hotel and represented him
self as an insurance man. He went To
the Office of Monies & Jackson, insur-
ance agents, and during Mr.. Jackson's
absence he made himself at hons by
using the latter's desk.
Further he went to the Scranton
Business college and engaged the SER
vices of young lady as stenographer
and typewriter. But before that he
rented Remington machine from Man
ager Snyder, of the Wyckoff, Seamans
& Benedict company, at 42l Lackawan-
ma avenue. When he took the ma
chine he agreed to pay for 1t on Satur-
day and told the agent to call around to
his office. He gave the address Of the
office of Monies & Jackson and there
fore deceived the typewriter folks into
Letting him have the machine.
On Saturday when the agent went to
collect his pay Edwards was not to be

more than two hours. He saw what ap-
peared to be the typewriter on the
stand and when he went to look at it
and lifted the cover, he found the ma
chine gone. On investigation he dis
covered that the fellow was fraud and
had no standing whatever. 1t was use
less to follow him up as he had skipped
the town. Inquiry at the Wyoming
House revealed the fact that an unpaid
board bill was left behind, and at the
office of Monies & Jackson, an SIS mack
intosh, belonging to Mr.. Jackson, was
missing.
The police were notified and have been
given description of Edwards. He is
about medium build. Of dark COM
plexion, and wears dark heavy NOUS
tache. His features are round and he
has a we'll shaped head. He speaks
fluently and has very attractive man.

Exports and Manufactures Growing Under
the Wilson TarIff.
At the risk of infringing on their pa
tience we must again ask: What have
our high tariff friends TO say now Of the
effect of the Wilson bill on the manu-
featuring business of this country? Are
they still OF the opinion that American
mills and factories will not be able to
meet European competition in their
home territory? The new law has been
in force about year, and what Is the
result? The cotton mills of New Eng
land and the south are all running. The
weekly output of our iron furnaces has
for a couple of months been larger than
it was at any period under the McKin-
ley bill. The fourmills of the country
are buster now than they ever were
before. Our woodworking establish
ments are behind 10 their work and
steel manufacturers have orders enough
ahead 10 keep them busy for months.
The same Is true of our wooden mills,
tobacco factories and manufacturing
establishments generally.

sequence. They have been able to
meet European competition, not only
in the United States, but in other
countries as well, and even in Europe.
Our exports Of manufactures have been
increasing steadily for several months.
The only exception was in June.
They were smaller that month than In
May, but larger than in any other
month of the year. They were larger,
too, than in June, 1894 From little
over $i2,OO0,O0o in February-about the
same as in the corresponding month of
last year-they have increased steadily
month by month, not counting May,
tionally heavy that increase In the sue
ceeding month could not be looked for.

Mills of TeNaa.

Senator Roger q. Mills, of Texas, /:
one of the heaviest Democrats intel.
lectually in the South. He has always
been for the free coinage of silver until
recently. This is the manly and intelli-
gent statement he now makes
al advocated the unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at l6 to as long as ]
could see prospect of keeping them
both in our circulation. The continued
fall of silver and the progressive aban-
donment of it as standard of value by
other countries have separated the two
metals so far that the conclusion has
been forced upon my mind tina! the
United States alone cannot bring them
to par and keep them at par throughout
the world at that ratio. Can we [demo-
cratsl not agree that we will inquire into
the market price Of gold in the several
countries with which we shall princi-
pally be connected in commerce and
take an average from them? That aver
age would now be found somewhere
between 2S to and 80 to /. If we can
agree on the principle, it will be very
easy to arrange the details"

PROSPERITY AND PRICES.
Tho Democratic Tariff Reduces the Cost
of NecesaarIea,


of Necessaries.
When the southern cotton crop and
the western cereals now coming for
ward are actually marketed the coun-
try has in prospect season of great
and substantial prosperity. 1t prom
ises to extend not only to manufacture
ing regions where the activity in iron
and the textiles is bringing in money,
but to the agricultural communities
whose trade does 50 much to increase
the comfort of the residents of all the
great cities.
1t is not to be expected that the Trib-
une should feel satisfied with such a
situation, but it is useless for it to at
tempt to ignore the fact that our ex-
ports for eight months this year show
gain of eleven million three hundred
and thirty thousand dollars. This is in
spite of the homc-marlIet idea that we
ought not to try to trade with foreign
ers, but as it is bringing money into
the country and helping TO make Nc
Kinley calamity campaign impossible
the Tribune will have to take it into
consi Iteration.
Grafton the proximity of the business
like announcements in its advertising
columns to the columns in which 1t
gives its own unbusinesslilie views of
the tariff.
AS every one knows, the Mckinley
bill was drawn TO increase taxes and
decrease revenues. 1t made duties
high to prevent importation. Having
discovered that the annual revenue
from the Wilson bill amounts to two
dollars and thirty-six cents per capita,
against only one dollar and ninety
cents per capita under the higher du-
ties of the Mckinley bill, the Tribune
makes the preposterous assertion that
this increase is drawn from the pock-
cts Of the people"
In the very next column, however, it
advertises variety of goods at Wilson
bill prices, and in doing so utterly re-
flutes its claim that the increase in rev.
enue is an increase in taxes. When un-
der the Mckinley law did it ever offer at
seventy-three cents yard such body
Brussels carpet with border" as it is now
Offering? When under republican
tariff duties did it ever invite the pub
lie to buy suit of cheviot for ten dol
lars as it is doing now?
Instead Of doing anything of the
kind 1t contended that "a cheap coat
makes a cheap man" That was abb
surd but logical McKinleyism, and it
will either have to go back to 1t or re-
fuse to take advertisements offering
the public low-tariff bargains at VIII
son-bill prices.-N. Y. World.
