A hundred men from the various
trades and Industries of this country
have started on tour through South
America to "spy out the land,'' and to
see what opportunities to trade the
land of our nelghbors offers. This
country is fast becoming a great manu-
featuring country and we need new
fields In which to sell our goods. Ev-
cry one will hope that these men who
have gone on their good mission may
bring good news for our people at

show that it is to be so improved that
an operator on one of the machines
will be able to double the speed OF writ

letter at time, whole words Will be
written at a single stroke. Many O
the smaller words in common use, such
as "and." "the," "of," etc., will be

If any one thinks that this is slow,
dull age. let him ponder the following
from the Westminster Gazette:
"a trial was recently made in Aus
trla to decide in how short a space o.
time living trees could be converted in
to newspapers. At Elsenthal, on April
IT. at 7 :35 in the morning, three trees
we're sawn down; at "a the wood
having been stripped OF bark, cut up
and converted into pulp, became paper
and passed from the factory to the
press, from whence the first printed and
folded copy was issued at ten O'Clock
So that in 145 minutes the tree had be-
come newspapers"

The reading public remember Secre-
tary Carllsle's speech not long ago IN
Chicago on the financial question. The
speech bristled with statistics by the
column almost, but Mr.. Carlisle spoke
from memory, referring to his notes
not more than three times during the
delivery. 1t has been set down as one
of the remarkable feats of memory in
this age. The speech made eight or
ten columns of print and must haye
contained from fifteen to twenty thous-
and words; and the remarkable part
was the accuracy with which the statis-
tics were given.

The failures In the manufacture OF
bicycles have been very numerous OF
late They have averaged almost one
day. Chicago has sustained more
loss by such failures, it is said, than
any other place in the country. This
is an evidence of how imprudently men
sometimes rush headlong into what is
not absolutely safe. With the great in
fatuatlon of "splnning a wheel" the
manufacturers did not calculate wisely
in their investments. Never swung a
pendulum so far but that it swung
back again.

WORDS FOR REPUBLICANS.

If, indeed, there have been any Re-
publicans who have contemplated
throwing over their local ticket, even
as to a single candidate, this fall, it is
time and duty for such to reflect coolly.
What would such action mean if in
dulged in generally? Why, the giving to
the Democracy, possibly to the Popu-
lists, the choosing Of the United States
Senator next winter. Do you want that?
Have you anything to gain by such
gain by it?
Possibly you do not like a Republican
legislative nominee; you may think that
the party could have done better; you
please remember that has been and is
said of every nominee ever put up, by
somebody. The party having, through
its representative body, selected can
didates, it is our bounden duty in honor
to stand by that decision and do our
hest to elect the candidates of the party.
What earthly use will it be to vote for
prosperity and protection and send UP
a United States Senator who denounces
ali such as pure chimera and the whole
scheme of the party as fraudulent? OF
what use will it be to elect Governor Nc
kinley and give him a Congress polit-
ically opposed to him? Shall any Re-
publican in such a crisis do anything
To tie the hands of the next President?
Or, suppose that Bryan should be
chosen, do you not think that the coun-
try will have more confidence in itself
and that we will be safer from G. terri
bic reaction if at the same time Con-
gress is sent up that can and will check
him and hold him at arms length in the
attempt that he says he will make to
CO rry out the inflammatory doctrines
and revolutionary ideas of the Populis-
tic Democratic platform adopted at
Chicago?

have been devoid of ordinary prudence.
Yet this creditor must be content to
be regarded as an oppressor, an offender,
and as one who has done his friend a
monstrous injustice. His case fairly
represents tens of thousands. Let one
in these days of prejudice and passion
inflamed by populistic irritants lend to a
friend and demand and take prudential
security, and the chances are that he
will not only lose the friend, but will win
the announcement of the irrational If
he dares to insist upon repayment, and
holds the security good to enforce it.
Yet if the transaction is not usurious,
and but few are, the creditor is not sus-
ceptible to the charge of injustice.
Nevertheless let him be assured, when
it comes to the time of payment and
enforcement of return of that with
which he parted to accommodate, he will
find most sympathy to go out to his
debtor, and that exceedingly small will
be that meted to him, even if the Sc
curity fails and he loses his property.

One Of the really amusing things Of
the campaign Is the declaration of the
Bryan platform against protection as a
fraud and a crime, and at the same
time to find the Bryan orators on the

The Chicago platform demands that

that fundamental in the Constitution
rendered of no account. Are American

The record-union., 1896-09-20

Reputation is now boldly preached
and orators. They fatty tell their dupes
that by the Bryan scheme they will be
able to pay off their mortgages in cheap
money; money that they can have by
securing silver, taking it to the mint,
having it coined and pay their debts
with it," as Mr.. Bryan puts it, and
pocket the gain by reason Of free coin
age. This Is the new way to pay old
debts that lies at the foundation of all
there is in the Bryan boom. OF course,
the Bryan men deny that they mean
rcpudiation; at the same time they en-
large upon the plank in their platform
which promises legislation of an order
that will make it impossible to demon
etize money" hereafter by contract.
That is to say, they propose by legisla-
ton to say what contracts are to be
regarded as binding and what may be
set aside and treated as of no effect
This despite the Constitution, which
hedges about the inviolability of all
such obligations. The excuse offered to
the farmer for Reputation is that he has
been paying interest on mortgages all
these years since 1873 on the basis of
a 200-cent dollar, and it is therefore
legitimate for him to get even. But that
will not do, because since 1873 the av-
erage life Of the farm mortgage has five
or six times over expired, so that there
are no such debts to-day that We're not
raade all the way from fifteen to twenty
years after the passage of the Coinage
Act Of 1878 The statistics of the census
show that Of all the mortgage debt in
force in 102 counties, scattered ALL over
the United States, 919S per cent was
incurred during the last ten years,
while 1888 of the debt has been incurred
during the last FIVE years and only 500
rer cent. was incurred prior to 1880.
The intended crime of 1896, says
"Gunton's Magazine" is the effort to cut
down wages. 1t is a crime against ma
tional prosperity. insidious and far
reaching. That is the straight way to
put it, and that is precisely the result
that viii follow the success of the Bry
antics Whether all the followers of
Bryan mean it or not, it will be none
he less a crime. Not only the wage
earners are to suffer, but the farmer, too,
lie as sadly deluded if he thinks that he
Is going TO sell his produce at higher
figure and be the gamer by reason of
the Brvanite plan. He will find the
promised fruit the deception of mi
rage The chief market for him is the
market of consumption at home, and
that is all the time dependent upon the
condition of the wage and salary receiv-
ing people employed in manufacturing,
the mechanic arts. commerce, trade and
labor generally with hand and intellect.
II the farmer wants to destroy his mar
ket for products he cannot more quickly
and effectively do so than by adopting the
theories Of the unskilled and half-ripe
economist Mr.. Bryan. Let him as a
man of intelligence read any one of Mr..
Bryan's homilies on his plan, and reflect

There were 25.OOOOOO wage-earners
at work in 1892 when the Democratic
low tariff misery struck the nation
broadside. These wage earners were
receiving some $9,OOO,OOO,OOO year in
earnings The low tariff cyclone swept
away 10 per cent. of these earnings at
the least, according to the best obtain
able statistics from governmental
sources. That takes in those reduced
and those thrown out wholly The re-
suit is then loss Of 100000 a year

At the Coates House, Kansas City,
Saturday, Mr. Bryan said, in the course
Of a speech:
Our opponents talk about a 5O-cent
dollar. They refuse to recognize the
fact that the moment the mints of the
United States are opened to the free
coinage of silver SO that 100000 of
people can go out and secure silver,
take it to the mint and convert it into
money and use that money to pay taxes
and debts with, and for the purchase Of
property-they refuse to recognize, I
say, that the opening of our mints in
creases the demand for silver and
raises the price Of silver as measured
by gold.
So, 100000 people are to go out and
=" secure silver and have it coined SO
as to double it's value, pay their debts
and pocket the 46 per cent profit. What
a scheme! Secure it, that is the
idea. All you have to do is to secure
it," Old family plate, heirloom spoons,
watchcases, anything will do-just Sc
cure it and coin it; have 1OO-cent dol
lars made out of 53 cents Of old silver
and pocket the difference But says
Mr.. Bryan in the same speech, to be
perfectly fair, we believe the price Of
silver will rise to 81 20. To state it
plainly, then it is a matter Of belief,
only, matter Of pure speculation; it is
chance that he asks the people to
take, when the props which keep the
silver dollar at 1OO-cent value are
knocked from under it, as the party of
Mr.. Bryan proposes to do by "unlim-
tied" coinage and non-redemption in
gold, leaving the dollar to fuctuate
with the market price of silver bullion

In an opinion handed down by Judgr
Mcpherson, Of the supreme court he
sustains the lIummelstown school board
which excluded from the public schools
OF that town 155 pupils whose parents
refused to comply with the order of the
board as to vaccination. The court
holds that while the vaccination law is
in conflict with the compulsory attend
ance act, the vaccination law was pass
ed last and takes precedence of the
other. The decision is an important
one to school boards, as it makes their
duty very clear whenever opposition
rises to their orders on the vaccination
question.

called upon between now and the first of

Best Method of winning IA Fortune.

This is good time to advertise. Now
that the holidays are coming more attcn-
tion should be directed to business. The
best way to secure this attention is by
newspaper advertising. There are other
mediums that are valuable. but the ey-
perience Of the most successful business
people who have tried about ever,
method is largely in favor of legitimate
newspaper advertising. Like every un-
dertaking, the more care that is eX-
ercised in selecting means to secure
desired results the more success will fo,-
low. Localities and mediums. circula-
tion and standing are important factors
in newspapers. The TRIBUNE claims
the careful attention of local dealers
and offers its columns to make their
announcements. If you have something
to sell that people need and will inform
them in a convincing way of the fact we
are sure you will reap substantial bene-
iit' Try it if you have not done so.
