Playing with Fire.

The action Of the Covington roughs
the other night in assaulting Secretary
John G. Carlisle because he had the
temerity to speak for sound money and
law and order was characteristic. IT
fits In with many features of the Popo-
cratic campaign. That campaign took
not little Of its inspiration in the
Haymarket massacre at Chicago; was
furthered by the Debs insurrection
when the idle and vicious classes of
society took advantage of a disagree
ment between railway employers and
employees to jump to the front with
violence and bloodshed; and finally
gained its conclusive grip on the or
ganization Of the Democratic party at
a convention in Cook county, Illinois,
made up Of delegates, II of whom had
been on trial for murder, of whom
had served terms in the penitentiary for
murder or manslaughter, Sc Of whom
had been convicted as burglars, and "a
of whom had served various minor sem
tences in prison.
We do not mean to say that all who
sympathize with Bryan sympathize
with this turbulent and lawless ele-
ment; far from 1t. But they cannot de-
ny the fact that the doctrines expound-
ed by Bryan, his bid for a class warfare
and his intemperate denunciation of
employers. directly appeal to the vicious

Stand by John r, Reynolds.

The situation in the Fourth legisla-
tive district has not changed since 1t
was last reviewed, excepting that there
has been general Strengthening or
John +. Reynolds lines. While in past
years this district has been regarded
as slightly Democratic, that was be-
fore the Democratic party committed
itself to the fallacies and the follies Of
the Chicago platform. 1t affords no
criterion for the present, when through
out this district, just as throughout
the country, many honest citizens
formerly in affiliation with the Demo-
cracy are now ranging themselves in
opposition to it and to the pernicious
doctrines which it now so shamefully
advocates.
There is an important reason why
every sound money Democrat in the
Fourth district, as well as every Re-
publican, should vote for Mr.. Rey-
nolds. 1t is not only because he is
personally in every way qualified to
represent with credit the districts in
tcTeStS dl IldIIlSpuISi IL 10 diSo dHtt
more especially because he Is right
on the money question, and if elected
will cast his vote for a sound money
United States senator to succeed j.
Donald Cameron. At time when there
is reported to be a willingness on the
part of the Democratic leaders to throw
the Democratic strength in the next
legislature to Senator Cameron If he
shall be a candidate for reelection, 1t
would be incredibly short sighted for
any sound money constituency to take
chances on such a result by permitting
the election Of Democratic represen-
tative. Now that the battle against
debased money is on, let it be fought
to a finish. The way to settle 1t af-
fectually is to smite the repudiationists
at every point along their battle-line.
We believe that these considerations
will appeal to a majority of the voters
in Mr.. Reynolds district and that they
will elect him one week from Tuesday
by plurality even greater than was
cast two years ago for Mr.. Reynolds
Republican predecessor.

The Opposition Analyzed.

with the majority of the men who
want cheap money the silver dollar is
desired, not because of any abstruse
theories about the benefits of bimetal-
lism, but because 1t is the first step
toward fiat money. Mr.. Bland, Mr..
Weaver, and all the old-time green
hackers, or soft money men, whose mot
to was to wipe the national debt as
with sponge form the backbone Of
those supporters of Mr.. Bryan who are
drawn TO him by his financial theories.
These men champion a silver dollar,
just as they would champion a copper
dollar rather than one of silver If copper
could be made an issue at the moment
What they really want is irredeemable
paper money. In other words, these
curious beings think that the money is
of value precisely. in the ratio Of it's be-
ing valueless. Gold and it's equivalents
possessing the greatest value, and
forming, therefore. the currency of all
the prosperous civilized communities,
seem to them undesirable. They want
money that Is cheap; that is, not so
valuable. They like a silver dollar, as
compared to a gold dollar, because it is
worth only half as much; but they like
a paper dollar even more, because it is
not worth anything. They seem to
have curious inverted idea that the
minute we can get money that is not
worth anyfhipp n will f,,r,, o,,< to I,o
able to purchase everything.
IF there was anything in their the
ory one of the most prosperous commu-
mites that ever existed should have
been the Confederate states Just before
the collapse of the Confederacy. There
was any amount of money, such as 1t
was, in the Confederacy then and prices
were on scale which should surely
have satisfied all who wished to see
them high. A pair of boots cost $1,000
and a carpenters wife who went mar
keting had to fill her basket entirely full
of fiat money IL she expected to bring 1t
home half full of anything else. New
ertheless. the people were in condition
of wretchedness and starvation such as
we now can hardly conceive. 1t real
ly does not matter much as to the
quantity Of money in q country. It is
the quality Of the money that is of i'm
portance to the circumstances of the
people. The real point is that the cred
it of the country should be good, and
that it should contain those things Of
which money is merely the measure Of
value.
But the Bryanites do not depend only
upon the cry for cheap money. Dis
honest finance is only one Of their rally
ing cries; they wish also Q debased

interfere with violent mobs. What they
appeal to Is the spirit Of social unrest.
the spirit Of discomfort. They have in
voked the aid of the mean and somber
vices of envy. Of hatred for the well to

ousy. Mr.. Bryan and the men who

rest of the crew-are fit representatives

nifty, and which, II they could break out,
would destroy not only property and
civilization. but finally even them
selves, leaving after them a mere
burnt-Out waste, as a cool lava over
flow becomes mere Stag and cinders.
They seek to rally to their banners all
the forces that make for social disorder
and national destruction. They hold
out lures to the honest man who.
through no fault of his own, has met
with crushing disaster and who strikes
at what he calls the conditions of soci-

spirit which prompted the assault on

Chairman Hanna one week from today
will be celebrated by patriots generally
as Flag day. and already some OF the
prominent business houses in Scranton
have announced their intention of deco
rating on that day. 1t is also suggest
ed that it would be a most appropriate
thing If every believer in sound money
should, on Oct. 81, wear on the coat
lapel a small flag in anticipation of the
victory which will be won for honest
government the following Tuesday.

where it belongs-on the level of patri-
otism VS.. civic Indifference. There Is
no middle ground.

from the statement that the Farr COM

failed to provide sufficient accommoda-

An irresponsible Following.

The Democratic party in 1892 de-
nouEced Republican protection as a
fraud" and robbery" and William
Jennings Bryan stumped the West in
defense of that platform. The Demo-
cratic platform of 1892 also declared
that all our dollars must be of equal
intrinsic and eXchangeable value"
with equal power at all times in the
markets and in the payment of debts"
and William Jennings Bryan also sup
ported that declaration. The election
of 1892 put the Democratic party in
power in all branches of the govern
ment.
In the meantime Grover Cleveland,
whom Bryan helped to elect, in order
to maintain the equality Of our dollars,
as he was instructed to do, found 1t
necessary to issue bonds. 1t isn't pre-
tended that he pursued the wisest plan
in disposing Of those bonds, nor would
the sale of bonds have been neces-
sary had Republican protection been let
alone; but the milk which Bryan help
ed to spill was already split; the gov
ernment stood face to face with a
grave crisis. and If the silver dollar
was to be kept on an equality with the
gold dollar there had to be an immedi-
ate strengthening Of the gold reserve.
Cleveland did what he thought best;
he obeyed the instructions Of the plat
form on which he was elected; he obey
ed the parity act Of Congress of 1890;
he saved the country from falling with
q thud from the gold to the silver
standard, and now what Is his reward? ?
Two-thirds Of his party, including
the very man who was most eloquent
four years ago in extolling free trade
and in urging Clevelands election,
have gone back on him and are literally
denouncing him for doing what they
themselves in 1892 commanded him to
do. Mr.. Bryan calls him a traitor.
Vice President Stevenson now repu-
dates, In behalf Of repudiation, the
platform on which he and Cleveland
were elected, and all through the South
and West the Democracy is split in
two because Cleveland did as it di-
rected him to do. What does this
teach? Does it hold out any induce
ment to confidence in the event of Mr..
Bryans election? Can we trust his
present tickle following not to desert
him as 1t has within the past year
turned upon it's old favorite, Cleveland? ?
Is there any sense of responsibility or
fairness in such a conglomeration? i?
Ought sensible voters to give it a Sec
ond chance to work mischief?
We do not admire Grover Cleveland
except for one thing. We admire his
courage under difficulties, and we are
beginning to think well of him on ac-
count of the enemies he has made.
He made most of those enemies doing
what he was elected to do. If Bryan
were to win he would have the same
experience. The party which has de-
serted Cleveland would desert him, and
there would be nobody on the other
side to take him up.

known that he had been Ill but the
later reports were favorable to his re-

maturity; but perhaps opportunely for
his reputation. Had he survived his
surrender to the free silver craze his
fame might not easily have recuper-

for his long. and in many respects bril-
liant service in congress, and the sign
of weakness which marred his last few

declining health.
