Business Paraiyzed by Frse-casnaEe Agi
fation.

A~N--a--Af
tation.
The Wooden and Tillow-Ware Trade
Review Of April 10 offers the following
explanation for the cause OF the pres
ent unsatisfactory business conditions.
All business is done by the medium
Of the existing measure Of value. If
there are any doubts about the future
Of that measure, commerce gradually
approaches a standstill. When the
Sherman silver law was repealed, con-
fidence in the future began to return,
and it was expected that steps would
be taken to remedy the evils of the cur
rency system under which the business
of the country has been operating.
Stimulated by this view, some business
men launched new enterprises and
started up old ones. There was an APP
pearance of a revival in business a year
ago.
When, however. it was found that
there was a small band of men, whose
whole future was based upon securing
the free coinage of silver by the United
States minis, in position to block
every move made to insure the continu-
ance of honest money in this country,
commercial people became nervous
again. They commenced to prepare for
financial trouble, whicl they thought
might come. This preparation involved
the withdrawal of loans, the curtail-
ment of manufacturing, the abandon
ment of new projects and the gathering
OF reserves. Thus manufacturing and
trading have for some months been suf-
fering from gradual paralysis.
These conditions should convince
every business man of the paramount
importance of having the so.called cur
rency question settled. Just now one
of the most profitable things a business
man can do is to use his influence and
spare time in working toward currency
reform and impressing upon the poll
ticians the fact that the business inter-
ests of the country require sound
money. Our national politicians who
are now setting up the pins for presi-
Dental election should take warning.
No candidate who is not in favor Of the
gold standard ought to be elected presi-
dent this year. Efforts should be made
to prevent any man not sincerely and
earnestly in favor of it from being a
candidate upon either the democratic
Or republican ticket.
Under existing restrictions we have
the largest and best bimetallisin ever
known in any country. We are using
silver equally with gold and more large
ly than any country in the world ever
did when using gold at all. And we are
keeping all these silver dollars on par
with gold. What the Missouri conven-
ton proposes is that we shall abolish
the restrictions that have thus made BIZ
metallism possible, abandon the use of
gold, reduce the value of money one
half, cheat all creditors, public and pri-
vate. cut down the purchasing power of
wages and substitute cheap dollar
recommendation for the honest dollar biz
metallism we have.
If there is any method in this mad
ness it is the method of men bent upon
the ruin of their party.-N. Y. World.

Absurdity of Double-stantard Legislatio

There isn't double standard coun-

never will be. Commerce and not law
regulates value. And yet we are asked
to adopt-by law what can't be in
fact--the double standard at a ratio
of sixteen to one regardless of conse-
quences. The more an honest investi-
gator thinks about the proposition TIE
less likely is he to advocate 1t. Poll
ticians for Office only may seek to work
their passage at sixteen to one ratio,
but the man who works in the shop and
ON the farm is pretty apt 10 reach the
conclusion that he is entitled to the best

Fish and Game Picnic.

The members Of the Mahanoy City Fish
and Game Protective Association held their
annual picnic at Lakeside yesterday. The
attendance was large, with good sprinkling
of those individuals who are seeking office
for consideration. William Bensinger, of
Mahanoy City, the great mogul of the assC-
citation, with Col. J. X. F. Scheihy at his
right hand in control of the commissary de-
partment and many other lesser lights, were
prominent upon the grounds lending their
assistance for the enjoyment of the members
and their friends. The Golfers of the associa-
tion were filled, because of the number of
fines imposed upon the otiice-seekers and
others among whom were Candidates Brumm
Davis Rentz, Wyatt, Meyers, Folmer and
Martin. Everything was free to the in
divdual who was so fortunate as to wear II
badge of the association, while those caught
without the emblem were instantly brought
before His Judgeship, James X. Deegan can
didate for Prothonotary, and the penalty
imposed. The day was one of much amuse-
ment and very successful in every respect

Doing a Thriving business.

The fact that the courts have decreed that
the borough of Mahanoy City is entitled to
but two Justices of the Peace has apparently
little effect upon the ltigauts Of that town.
A Mahauoy City gentleman informed the
writer yesterday, that the two borough
Squires, Coyle and Jones, are not doing the
business they and their friends anticipated.
The establishment of an office by Squire
Neal Brennan, of Mahanoy township, near
the borough limits has brought him nine
tenths of the cases that are heard in the
borough. The old 'Squires assist him by con-
verting their offices into bureaus of informa,
ton, and then Brennan tries the cases.

he Continued.

A report gained circulation that the
Schuylkill Hat & Cap Company was dis
charging hands from its factory ON East Coal
street preparatory TO moving the plant TO
northumberland. Upon making inquiry a
reporter learned that the report was not
strictly correct 1t is true that the company
has opened factory at Northumberland and
dispensed with the services of several girls
here but one of the company Mr.. /. lauter-
stein, says that the reduction Of the working
force here was brought about by the girls
themselves. He says the company could
keep all tnc girls employed, but they are
very irregular aud by losing time kept at
least twenty machines idle. 1t was decided
this week to send that number of machines
to the Northumberland plant 1t was not
alone the loss of time the company com
planned of, but the delay in turning out work
caused by girls remaining away without Civ
ing the company notice. About 100 opera
tive- are still retained.
The company has good thing at Northum-
berand. The citizens of that place have
conveyed to it absolutely and without cost a
plot of ground with a brick building 2lO feet
long, 80 feet wide and two stories high, with
basement. They have also advanced $1,000
for two years, without interest. In cOnsidera
tiun Of this the company equips the plant
with all the machinery for furnishing hats
and caps and is under contract to keep the
factory in operation for at least five years
with at least fifty hands The citizens Of the
place are also under contract to keep the com
pany supplied with at least fifty hands and
one hundred, if necessary. The company
has put an electric light plant in the build
ing for its own use.
