A WOMAN'S QUESTION.

Dear Uncle Sam:
A letter l write you, please reply.
II you'll spare time to read it
You'll see Just reason why.
There's such dreadful uproar,
I'd like to learn the cause;
Is 1t Of silver.
Or is it unjust laws?
I've heard that Grover Cleveland
Once had a golden dream,
And meant to aid our people
BY some well-grounded scheme;
But that his party failed him,
He couldn't work alone
And SO for grievous errors
Our nation must atone.
And so, If Bryans elected,
Can he make laws alone?
And can he coin free silver
As II he ruled throne?
Or If McKinley's chosen,
Has he Napoleon's skill,
To sway the mighty millions
Albeit 'gainst their will?
If you need one man for office,
Pray, tell me. cannot you
just seat that one man in his chair
Without so much ado?
Each day the papers tell us
OF riots. right and left,
Our stores and banks are closing,
OF home We are bereft.
I've learned to do with little,
And now must do with less,
And SO for all this uproar
Can see no cause to bless.
No doubt men who are voters,
All understand tho laws,
But am but a woman
And fail to see the cause.
So when you send yonr answer,
Please make 1t very plain
For all these vexing questions
Have racked my weaker brain.

THEY MERIT SUPPORT,
Firm the Industrial News.

In the campaign now fast approaching
and end, the county offices TO be filled this
fall should not be allowed to be overshad-
owed by the national candidates. The Of
fees of commissioners and auditors are
very important, as they are charged with
the economic administration Of the nnan-
cial affairs of the county, and the best
men available should be chosen. The pres
ent Republican county commissioners
have proven their fitness for the position
and as one good turn deserves another
Messrs. S. w. and Giles Roberts should be
reelected. They are deserving OF the
honor and those who desire an honest
and impartial administration of county af.
fairs should vote for them. For the Office
of county auditors Messrs. A. l.. Kiefer
and Fred Ward are both experienced bus
iness men, fully competent to transact
the duties of the Office, and their election
will be n guarantee that the work in that
Office will be run on business principles.

IN NO DANGER.
From the Industrial News.

The most important part Of the machin-
cry Of our national government Is the
congress, which has the power to make
laws with or without the sanction Of the
president, therefore 1t Is much more i'm
portant that that body be composed Of u
majority of members who favor sound
money and protection than to have a pres
ident pledged to those doctrines with a
congress holding opposite views, for the
reason that congress composed of free
traders and free silverites would have
the power to enact laws to suit their own
views and the president be powerless to
check them. This being the case, 1t is
highly important that nothing should be
done which would in any way jeopardize
the election of any sound money congress
sional nominee. This district, happily, Is
in no danger of being represented in the
national legislature by one whose party
platform is in direct opposition to the
prosperity Of. and would work an injury
to the industries of this valley. The cleo
tion of William Connell next month will
be great victory for protection to Amer
lean industries, and We are pleased to be
able to say from personal knowledge that
the workingmen Of the Lackawanna val
ley, union and non-union, will do their
share in making Mr.. Connells majority
so overwhelming that II will foverer set
tie, In this valley at least, the question Of
where the toiling masses stand on the free
silver theories and the destructive policy
Of free trade.

FREE SILVER AND LABOR,
From the Industrial News.

From the Industrial News.
The result of the success of the free sill
Yer craze would be to throw the cause of
labor back many years. The wage-earner
could not live on the wages now paid If
paid in half-dollar dollars. He would be
compelled to apply for an advance in his
wages In the new deprecated currency,
with but poor prospects of obtaining 1t.
Then commence strikes and lOckouts, men
out of work, hardship in the home. pay
ments on the little property stopped short.
taxes unpaid. mortgage foreclosed. and
years of labor all gone for nothing. The
battle of life is over for the toiler, and
just beginning for those nearest and dear
est to him with poverty for their Inherit
ance. There is no possible reason for the
wage-earner taking all these chances, AMI
making such enormous sacrifices to add
to the already fabulous wealth of multi
millionaire English silver mine owners,
for 1t is admitted that they would be most
benefited by free coinage.

DemOcracy's Local Plan.

AS the local campaign approaches
it's close the opposition is seen to be
concentrating its energies upon the court
house. it's hope being to gain control
Of the commissioners office. which in
Democratic hands would be q choice ad E
dition to the city offices now controlled
by the party. A short time ago 1t looked
as if the campaign of Messrs. Burke
and Demuth would become simply a
case of "plumping" each at the others
expense for the position of minority
member: lut in the meantime the two
Democratic candidates appear to, have
come together and mapped out fight
to be made side by side and jE conse-
quenre il behooves Republicans to be
on their guard.
A part OF the Democratic plan of cam
paign, H. 20 understood, is to load up
the uemoc; attic newspapers with lot
ot confusing figures calculated to I'M
ply care,sssness in the Republican
maiolityc management Of the Office,
and to try thereby to scare voters into
putting "a Democratic majority on the
next board. The figures themselves are
without significance since every record

explained in detail in these columns

increases in court costs. over which the

tion fixtures. schooi enumeration. brid-
ges and Jail repairs, the tax rate for
to an average of six mills on the dollar,
and within a short time $4,000 worth
of outstanding bonds will he retired
from the sinking fund. This is a suf-
iicient answer to all impuiations of
lax management and it is q record sur
passed by no other county in the state
with like population.
But little thing like the truth will
not stand in the way OF the managers
Of the opposition campaign. They see
possibility OF puD'lc Office ahead. with

do anything and everything to realize

fact so that Republicans throughout

vass. Mess.s. 5. W. ana Giles Roberts
have proved their fitness for their
present positions and every Republican
should see that they are both tr..
unphantly reelected. 1t would be a
m!s.ake to let the Democrats get hold
of the county finances as well as the
city government. all in one year, and
the defeat OF either of the Robertses'
would accomplish that purpose.

While we consider the presidential
battle a close one in the sense that
every Republican will be needed at the
polls, yet these and other Indications
which are apparent to every student OF
politics go to show that Republicans
may well be hopeful as to the outcome.
Indiana and Illinois, If carried for Bry-
an, would probably elect him; but there
is no good reason for the supposition
that either state will be carried by him.
In both states the sound money forces
are well-orsanized. confident. alert and
determined. while the opposition lacks
cohesion. 1t is like contest between
trained regulars and raw recruits. The
recruits are going to get the worst of it.

What This Great
Country Can't Do
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
This Is a great and strong country, great
In Its achievements and its possibilities,
anu strong in the patriotism of its people.
IL Is a rich country. in the wealth already
created from its soil, its mines, and its
forests; and in its unutilized natural re-
sources 1t Is richer than any other land on
the globe. But we do not believe that the
United States, great, strong, and rich as
1t is. Is able to do what the advocates of
free coinage assert that it can. They tell
us that We can compel all nations to rec
ognize a silver dollar containing about so
cents worth OF that metal as worth one
hundred cents in gold. Mr.. Sewall. in his
letter of acceptance says: "The Ameri-
can people will be loyal to the nations
money, and will stand behind 1t and main
tain 1t at whatever value they may put
upon It," And he makes an eloquent ref
erence to the great uprising of the people
thirty-five years ago in defense of the
Union as proof of the power of the people
when they stand behind" a principle.
o.
This illustration is good enough rhetoric.
but bad logic. When the American peo-
pie. or those of them who stood by the old
flag, We're making that grand demonstra-
ton to show the ability of great peo-
pie to maintain the nations money lat
strong enough to put down the rebellion.
but they were utterly unable to maintain
the value of their money after they aban-
doned the worlds standard. Is there
reason to believe that loyalty to silver on
the part of the American people will affect
other nations in different way from
that In which their loyalty to greenbacks
did? II we undertake to make dollar
with 80 cents worth of silver and 80 cents
In fiat with all CT
compel the world to take that combina-
tion of silver and fat for hundred cents
in gold?
In March, 1862 the aggregate of green
backs was $3.50. 100000. The people stood
behind" this money. but it went down to
80 cents on the dollar. No one contends
that free coinage would reduce silver dol
lars to that extent, for silver has a conf
so to 81 per cent. of its coinage value.
Free coinage, by increasing the demand.
would undoubtedly enhance the value to
some extent And that enhancement
would be recognized in the markets of the
world. But the notion that, because q
people are brave, strong, and loyal, they
can cut loose from the worlds standard
and compel the world to recognize what
ever value they may put on their money,
Is not supported by single fact in his
tory, and 1t decidedly gets u black eye from
our experience of the war time to which
Mr.. Sewall refers for its confirmation.

After criticizing the Republican
press for neglecting to make larger use
of the admirable personality of the Re-
publican candidate and pointing out
how even the Popocrats admire Major
Mckinley personally. the Buffalo En-
quirer says: THE plain truth is that
Mr.. Mckinley as a soldier and as a
citizen, has behaved himself in manly
fashion: that in public and in private
life he has been admirable; that he has
never failed TO meet the requirements
of any position to which he has been
called; and that there is every reason
to believe that he viii prove equal to the
grave responsibilities of the presidency
and not only fiji the place hut adorn
it," We can endorse this, every word,
and so can all who have known the
man.

1t is well to bear in mind, as Major
Mckinley said to the delegation which

Therefore you must not be looking to
the mints for the money which you
need. You must look to the mines, the
mills and the factories"
