That Parade in New York.

The demonstration for Mckinley and
sound money in New York on Satur-
day was, according to all reports, the
largest and most impressive spectacle
of its kind in the history of this Re-
public. 1t contained $4,000 fewer men
in line than were in the parade at
Washington, in May, 1865, when Sher-
mans army and the Army of the Poto-
mac marched in grand review; but
this column of 10000 returning soldiers
represented the victorious contribu-
tions of a dozen States, whereas Satur-
days procession was gathering for
one occasion of $4,000 civilians collect
ed from within two hundred miles of
the metropolis.
Says one enthusiastic chronicler,
Ralph d. Paine, of the Philadelphia
Press: "There were more men in line
than ever voted the Republican ticket
in the city of New York in a national
election. Before the sun had set the
parade had been witnessed by a crowd
as large as the population of both the
Dakotas, Montana. Wyoming, Idaho,
Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Nevada.
The votes of the marchers. cast on
Tuesday, will exceed the combined vote
Of North Dakota, South Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming and Nevada. The first
division that swept past the reviewing
stand, carrying the banners of the dry
goods trade of New York alone, had
twice as many men in line as the en-
tire vote of Nevada in 1892"
In every prior large. parade in New
York some great event had called forth
the marching multitudes, who were

Let Wage-Earners Remember.

That, as the Times Herald remarks,
those who have protested most loudly
against class legislation in the past are
the ones who now demand that the
government shall legislate in favor of
the producers of four states.
That the money coined under a free
coinage law as proposed in the Chicago
platform would have to get into cir
culation through the owners of silver
mines.
That wage-earners could secure none
Of these coins except through the ex-
change of their labor for them.
That even though 1t were possible
for the silver mine owners to employ
all the idle labor in the country the
dollars which they would receive under
free coinage ut 16 to would have only
half the purchasing power of the dol
lars now in use.
That even though the silver mine
owners could give the farmer dollar

only buy half as much with 1t as he

That increasing the volume of the
circulating medium will not make
more business any more than increas-
ing the number of freight cars will
make larger crop of wheat.
That the statistical abstract issued
by the treasury department shows that
owing to the immensely greater drop
in manufactured articles than in farm
products in the last twenty-three years
the things which the farmer has to
sell will purchase from 10 to 10 per
cent more of the things he has to buy
in 1896 than they would buy in 1873.

that, putting the average wages of
labor at 100 in 1850, it was 1853 in 1873
and 1907 in 1891.

That since Nov. !, 1898, the date of

If we would make the silver mine

tomorrow for Bryan and Merrifield.
This would insure the free coinage of
silver at 16 to l and enable the silver
mine-owner to pay his laborers and his
debts with half the number of ounces
of silver that he has to use today. In
other words, it would enrich him at the

Not alone are the Republicans OF

the industrial life Of dhis community.
There is no man who will deny that the
conditions which have made this city and
valley 10. blossom as the rose are those
which Republican policy. enacted by a
Republican congress, has made possible,
but which are now suffering temporary
blight due to the Democratic enactment
of the Wilson bill, a measure which has
silenced ind lstry or SO hampered 1t that
its operation has been spasmodic and un-
certain.
None but those who are blind to wha.
has occurred. or who are senseless in their
partisan zeal. will deny that Democratic
policy has caused this palsy in the indus
trial energy of the country. To remedy
these faults and to restore Republican
conditions, as well that confidence which
Industrial enterprise needs, the election
of Republicans to congress on next TUES
day is demanded. This should be one OF
the watchwords of the electors. Lacila-
wanna county should ring out in clarion
notes its demand for the protective pol
icy of Republicanism by giving to Will
lam Connell. the candidate for congress.
"a vote SO nearly unanimous that there
shall be no doubt whatever that this

will bring back new life to the vast in

1.-The developments of the closing week
of the campaign leave no doubt that the
Judgment of an overwhelming majority
of the people of the nation is against the
platform and candidate of reputation
and national dishonor. 1t now remains
for the voters to register at the polls their
answer to the attempts to excite pas
sion, prejudice and selfshness for the
benefit of IA few who are willing to de-
stroy national honor and endanger ma
tional existence for their personal ambi-
tions and individual profit. Good cti-
Zens i'm every section and of every party
have united in publicly expressing them
selves upon this subject. Their duty now
Is to do so in such a manner as will for
ever put an end to further attempts in
this line. There Is but one way of doing
this, and that Is at the polls. While
each man has his especial field in the
preliminary work of the campaign, the
duty of election day is common to all.
No man, however much he has done in
influencing others, can neglect his per-
sonal duty at the polls, and no citizen,
however humble or devoted to employ
ment or business, should fail to exercise
his privilege and duty on election day.
1t is not merely privilege. but duty.
And while Il Is the duty of every good
citizen to express his will at the polls on
all occasions, that duty was never more
serious or important than now. Sound
arguments and expression of loyalty
count for nothing unless those who offer
them or are convinced by them exercise
that universal privilege of participating
in the actual direction of the government
by voting on election day.

ut is gratifying to know that the two
classes of citizens to whom these appeals
have been most strongly directed. the FAR
mers, and the wCrkinGmen of the cities
and towns, have resented the imputatiors
which have been placed upon them by
the assumption that they desire to deal
falsely with those with whom they have
business relations or with the people or
the nation. Tho proposition that the far
mer may repudiate a portion Of his OBJ
legations by the coinage of a dollar worth
but ha1f that which he agreed to pay,
has been as Indignantly rejected as has
that which assumed that the workingman
held principles which he was ashamed to
avow and which are dangerous to the
peace of the nation.
