On more than one occasion we have
heard it remarked as to the large number
of banners that are displayed in New
York bearing the names of Mckinley
and Hobart, as compared with those
which bear the names of Bryan and
Sewall. The New York correspondent
of the Philadelphia Ledger says there are
five hundred of the former, and that the
sight of them induced Governor Altgeld,
of Illinois, while in Gotham on Saturday
to say "that the Republicans will stop at
nothing. They have prostituted the
Courts, the press and the Church, and
they have pros tituted the American flag
to the level of an advertising medium
The Ledger correspondent says the flags
were largely paid for by private subscrip-
ton, and the fact that the East is regard
ed by Mr.. Bryan as the enemy's country
may account for the lack of effort to
keep his cause SO prominently to the
forefront.

which?-It Cannot Be Both.

The paradoxes and fallacies Of the
free silver advocates are plentifully il
Illustrated in the interesting letters Of
workingmen to The World.
One set stoutly maintain that there
would be no cheap dollar or 80 cent
dollar under free coinage. If the white
metal were given unlimited coinage it
would instantly rise, they say, to 81. 80
an ounce. The present price of So cents
they attribute to the characterization in
1878, though silver dollar was then
worth more than a gold one, and none
was coined or in circulation.
Another and the more numerous class
at the south and west insist that what
the country needs is a cheaper dollar.
The good old gold dollar Of Jefferson,
jackson and Benton has been forced
up" in value, they say. They want a
dollar of about half its value to increase
the price of their products and to enable
them to pay their debts at half the pres
ent cost and trouble. As Mr.. Bryan
put it in his letter to The World, they
would restore the parity between
money and property" by reducing the
value of the dollar.
Now both of these theories cannot be
true. They are fatty contradictory. If
silver would appreciate under free coin
age, there would be no cheap money.
Prices would not rise. Debts could not
be scaled down. If it would not appre-
ciate, the workingman's saved dollars
would be reduced one-haH in value, the
cost of his living would double and his
wages would not increase in anything
like the ratio of the increase in his ex-
penses.
Why is the best money too good for
wageworkers? What is the matter with
the highest standard Of value in coun-
try where the highest wages and the
highest standard of living prevailp The
World begs the workingmen to think a
little deeper and little further on this
vital subject New York World.

That the present campaign is one of
unrivalled interest is shown by the inten-
sity of feeling manifested by the advo-
oates of the great questions at issue.
The heated discussions and the efforts
made by one side and the other to con-
vince those of the opposite belief of their
error, reminds one of war times, when
feeling ran high. In government like
ours. where the people are the rulers, it
is we'll that such interest is taken in
national issues and their just settlement,
but it ought to be done in friendly and
charitable spirit. We shall never all
think alike, and it is wise we do not. If
we did all the fun and excitement of our
political campaigns would be at an end,
and what dull times there would be for
some who now find congeniaI employ
ment discussing the questions of sound
money and free silver. Diversity of
opinion is one of the very mainstays of
the Republic. Therefore. let us not feel
unkind toward our neighbor if he does
not think as we do on political questions.
While we claim liberty for our opinions
and principles, let us cheerfully accord
the same right to every one else. We are
lead to these reflections because some
people at these times are apt to lose their
heads occasionally, and one or two have
gone so far as to stop their MONITOR
REGISTER because it does not advocate
their principles, but they are no doubt
sorry for it already, and will be back
again. We do not expect to fully reflect
the opinion of our 1000 and more read.
ers every week, neither do we ask them
to abandon their principles unless we can
give them something better. But aside
from this we faithfully chronicle the
local happenings, and any man who pays
us 81 year for fifty.two papers more
than gets the worth of his money. We
are receiving assurances almost every
week that the MoNIToR-REeIsTER is the
best local paper in the county, and we
mean to keep it SO. The campaign will
soon be over, then everybody will cool
off and we will get down to business ir

State Convention.

The twenty-third annual convention of
the Womsn's Christian Temperance
Union has been held in the Central M. E.
Church Bridgeton, this week, beginning
on Tuesday and closing Friday morning
1t has been fourteen years since the con-
vention was held in Bridgeton, during
which time the organization has grown
in efficiency and members. So much SO
that at this convention the largest
increase in membership was reported of
any State in the Union, and of course
the white ribboners are proud of the
distinction that comes to New Jersey.
The Executive Committee held meet.
ing on Tuesday afternoon. and the first
public meeting was held on Tuesday
evening. The church was beautifully
decorated. white banners hanging on all
sides, bearing the States motto: "New
Jersey shall be Redeemed.
The pulpit was nicely arranged, large
bouquets of beautiful, fragrant flowers
adjoining the stand, and at different
places on the platform stood the banners
of several of the counties of the State.
On the left of the pulpit in large black
letters on white were the last words of
the late Mrs. Downs, who was President
of the State Union at the time of her
death THE liquor traffic will be out.
lawed. Blessed is he who helps" On
the right was the stars and stripes. In
the rear of the pulpit, on banner, were
the words 1.-THE Star of Hope hangs over
the school house."
Mrs. Bourne and others occupied seats
on the platform. Rev. j. L. Roe, in the
unavoidable absence of tie pastor,
extended welcome TO the church, and
Mrs. Mary CARL welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the Bridgeton Union, and
Mrs. Gilbert, of Vineland, for Cumber-
land county, the response being given by
Miss Kate A. Peters, of Beverly.

Cheating the Creditor.

If these glorifiers of the old order Of
things could restore the conditions that
prevailed previous to 1878 and make
the market value of silver what it was
then. they would not want free coinage.
There would be nothing in it for them.
What they really want is cheap money,
kind of money with which creditors
can be cheated. They are not trying to

The States which do not seem to be
doubtful, and which must be conceded
practically without controversy TO Bryan,
remain as in my first table, except that
Florida has disclosed an uncertainty as
to her status, and think that Texas and
Louisiana may be added to the sure vote
for Bryan. North Carolina is a doubtful
state. with chances in favor of Bryan, in
my opinion.
THUS we have 292 votes for Mckinley
and Hobart, with 224 necessary to their
election. If they gain in the same ratio
for the next two weeks as they have
gained in the last three, this is a very

for Mckinley. The same can be said OF
