THE MAN FOR CONGRESS.
From the Providence Register.

FROM the trOVluence Register.
When the Republicans of Lackawanna
county named William Connell as their
candidate for congress they named one
whom all the people can rally to, and In
whose election every citizen would feel
just pride. AS the party candidate he de-
serves every vote In the party. and 1t
goes without saying that many hundreds
from the ranks of the opposing party will
help in making his majority an over
whelming one. 1t is unnecessary here 10
reiterate all that has heretofore been said
concerning the personality and the fitness
of Mr.. Connell for this important office.
These are so well known and appreciated
that 1t would be but a mere repetition CT
words. On the principles of the party,
Mr.. Connell stands solid as a. rock and is
uncompromislngly for every declaration
of Republicanism that means a grander
country and people and by which the hap
piness and comfort of all are to be at
tained. He does not deviate one iota from
the sound money standard. and on the
Protection of American industries he Is
SO deeply impressed by his own expert
ences in manufacturing that there is no
questioning his position will be only that
which means industrial progress and the
best of wages and the most comfortable
homes for the people of the United States.
Mr.. Connell has for so many years been
engaged in the commercial life of the
state Of Pennsylvania that his name has
gone forth as a most worthy citizen-one
whom any community could we'll delight
to honor. This coming election, then. Is
the opportunity for the people of Lacka-
wanna county to return in feeble measure
all that he has done for them. That they
will thOughtfully and earnestly do SO Is
not to be doubted.

POINTEDLY EXPOSED.
From the Industrial News.

At present silver mine owner can pay
only Is cents of a debt with one ounce of
silver. Under free coinage he could pay
$l.29 of debt with an ounce of silver. AT
present an ounce of silver will pay only
65 cents in wages. Under free coinage an
ounce of silver would pay $l.29 In wages.
The difference, Ga cents an ounce, would
be clear gain to the mine owner; In the
first instance at the expense Of his credit
ors. in the second at the expense of the
men who do the actual work of mining his
product. 1t is not asserted by the most
hopeful free silverlto that wages would
rise as rapidly as the cost Of living. All
history proves to the contrary. that wages,
in periods of imitation or depreciation,
rise slowly. If at all, while the cost OF the
necessaries of life rises with bound
Under free coinage history would only re-
peat itself Prices would be increased
only by the same slow and tedious process
by which they have been raised in the
past. All the battles for higher wages by
which workingmen have benented In the
last forty years would have to be fought
over again.

The Common Sense Cure.

At Rochester Saturday evening
Frank S. Black made another speech
similar in style though not in matter
to the one with which he opened the
Empire state gubernatorial canvass IN
New York few days ago. 1t was Il
speech that abounded in crisp and can
did common sense, uttered without pas
sion and entirely free from persona.i-
ties, and what adds to its merit is the
fact that in print it is less than col
umn long. Mr.. Black evidently knows
how desirable it Is in public speaker
to say his say and then stop. The gist
of his remarks is comprised in The fol-
lowing excerpt, which says quite as
much as if it had been inflated 10 ten
columns:
have often heard two reasons advanced
for trying this dangerous experiment of
free and unlimited coinage of silver. The
first reason is that we cannot be worse
off than We are now, and the second that
II is easily tried, and if not successful can
be abandoned: No greater mistake could
be made than to suppose that we cannot
half as poorly off as we might be. 1t Is
true, our present situation is not in all re-
spects as we desire, but our prospects
were never better. Our people have seen
the folly Of the course pursued in previous
years, and have fully determined to COR
rect 1t. We have not only halted in our
| march In the wrong direction. but we
have wheeled about and shall certainly
! march back and rebuild the fences we
| have torn down and reopen the doors We
| have unwisely closed. Idleness as a ma
| tional policy has been tested to every
body's satisfaction, and nobody any longer
believes in it, We have chased the phan-
tom of low prices SO far that VIC have lost
sight of the place where we earned our
| wages. But We shall go back. The oppor-
tunities Of the last few years are gone,
but let no one believe that the Ameri-
can people are used up. or that We can
| correct the mistake made four years ago
| by making another that Is worse now.
Going to work again Is not the only
thing to be considered. We must have our
pay also. and that pay must not only be
the most, but the best that any country
| in the world affords. This country Is not
the place for things that are cheap, and
cheap money is the worst of all. That
We cannot be worse off Is n delusion In
which no intelligent person should be

That Pilgrimage to Canton.

The attention of Republicans is
called to the excursion to be run next
Friday from this region to Canton. 1t
was arranged for by the sound money
press of Lackawanna and Luzerne
counties in Difference to the wishes OF
many persons who had indicated de-
sire to see and hear the next President
at his modest Ohio home. 1t is not
money-making enterprise. 1t will not
boost any particular politicians ambi-
tions. 1t has no other significance
whatever than the local elimination of
an eagerness to give assurance to
Projections leading advocate that the
people are with him in his present can
didacy and that they have interest
enough i'm the man and in his cause to
move them to make an S00-mile pill
grimage i'm order to deliver this assur-
ance in person.
We are not much given to hero wor-
ship and have outlived some of the eX-
uberance which inspires great demon
strations In honor of public men not
much better than the average of us.
Yet when we reflect upon the full mean
ing of these continuous professions of
admiring thousands to Canton and re-
call also the personal cleanliness. for
titude and wholesome patience of the
man who Is the magnet of this great
movement of human travel. the spec
tacle fires our interest and irresistibly
cumpels admiration. In our day there
has been only one other statesman who
commanded from the people similar
measure OF their spontaneously prof
fered enthusiasm and it is no reilec-
tion upon the memory of the lamented
Blaine to say that William Mckinley
has come fairly and honestly by the
ladder of sheer merit to the pedestal
which Blaine once occupied.
If there is any portion of these United
States which ought to feel an espec-
tally earnest interest in Major McKin-
ley's candidacy and a particularly cor
dial desire to give to that interest q
practical expression before as we'll as
on Nov. 8. it is this Industrial cummu-
nifty which has experienced from the
policies which Mckinley champions so
large a measure of its past prosperity
and which has had such vivid reasons
to regret the temporary substitution at
Washington Of different policies. 1t
ought to be an easy matter to secure
among the citizens Of the twin valleys
a large representation both willing and
eager to carry to Canton token of
Northeastern Pennsylvania stead
fastness in the true faith. The excur-
sion next Friday must not fall below
the proportions Of suitable express
sion of Republican fidelity and enthus-
iasm

shared. But whatever our condition may
be. II is our duty to make II better instead
OF trying experiments which may make
1t worse. man not very sick. getting
worse, has more cause for alarm that
sicker man getting better and l do not
consider him wise who takes experimental
medicine at the critical point of the dis
ease. especially when he knows the medi-
cine has been tried on others before and
left them crippled. perhaps forever.
The second reason, that free coinage can
be easily tried and II not successful aban-
doned, is as fallacious as the first. 1t Is
much easier to make a mistake than to
abandon 1t afterward. Getting sick Is
easier than getting well. Breaking your
word Is easier than convincing other peo-
pie that you will not break 1t again, and
there Is the same difference between pay
ing SO cents on the dollar and regaining
the confidence Of the lender when you de-
sire to borrow again. The purpose of
free coinage is not only dishonest. but
impossible. You cannot create q value
by statute. nor compel the other nations
of the world to abide by what you declare
to be wise. Integrity is beyond the con-
troll of legislatures, and you can no more
force the people of other countries to ac-
cept SO cents for dollar that you owe
them than you can force them to
pay III cents for Il dollar that they
owe you. The result of such an at
tempt would not be to establish an adj
vantage for you in the transaction. 1t
would he simply to cut off dealings be-
tween you and utterly to destroy all con-
hdcnce, without which no relations of
friendship or respect can be maintained
This kind of talking is a common
sense cure for false doctrine.

The Real Australian Ballot.

Much ado has been made from time
to time over the fact that large ma
jority Of our states have adopted the
Australian secret ballot, and the gen
eral public has been led to the conclu-
sion that the consummation of this re-
form would eventually result in a de-
cided Improvement in the quality of our
politics and politicians. But now, in
this months Forum, comes a message
from one of the most prominent Aus
tralian statesmen, Hugh II. Lusk, to
the somewhat startling effect that our
ballot system is only grinning traves-
ty on its antipodean original, and that
IL we want to act as an effective filter
to the corrupted stream of politics we
shall have to throw three-fourths of it
overheard and begin anew. Mr.. Lusk's
paper is an admirable analysis of de-
fects In American polling methods, and
as we cannot hope, within present
limits. to follow him through his dis
cussion Of them. the reader is recon-
mended to peruse the contribution In
full. But we must find room for a re-
production Of his description of an Aus
tralian election, for that in itself sug-
gests by comparison most of the weak
nesses of the Americanized edition OF
the Australian booth system.
An election in Australia, Mr.. Lusk
tells us, is a simple and expeditions
process. There are two reasons why
this Is true. In the first place no two
issues are ever mixed at single elec-
ton. If the election be for members of
the legislature 1t Is never mixed up
with an election to any other office
whatever; II for any other office, as for
