The Real Remedy.

With wise tariff measures the money
question would regulate itself. If the
American manufacturer is sufficiently
protected so that he can pay good wages
and run his establishment full time with
out the fear of European competition,
there will be plenty of work and good
wages in this country. The people will
then have money to purchase those
things which are made here, as well as
many things made abroad that do not
come into competition with our home
manufacturers. Thus the revenues are
swelled and home business revived.
Money is plentyful, and the farmer COM
mands good price and ready sale for
his products. By judicious reciprocity
treaties and extensive foreign market Is
obtained for our products, and foreign
products are secured for our people at
the lowest price. This foreign market
creates favorable balance of trade, and
the gold flows into the United States in
stead OF going out, Tor gold IS USED all
over the world to pay balances. But if,
on the contrary, the tariff is so adjusted
as to let in foreign manufactured goods
so low as to compel our own manu-
factories to close or run half time, then
our laboring people have not the means
to buy either foreign or domestic goods
in any considerable quantities. Hence
business at home is depressed and the
revenues of the Government fall short
all because the laboring man is so poorly
remunerated that he cannot supply him
self with the comforts of life, and his
consuming capacity is this reduced from
one-half to two-thirds. Thus it is easy
to see how the Democratic doctrine CT
tariff for revenue only disarranges every
thing, and brings about depression and
distress every -timA-ii -is--14----r+-a'-

THE nomination of Vim. Jennings
Bryan for the Presidency conveys one
impressive lesson to every youth in our
land. Study and acquire the art of ora
tory. Be able to get up before folks and
speak your piece. Vim. ]. spoke his at
the favorable moment, and he bagged the
whole menagerie, even including the
proud, prejudiced, hide-bound old tar
heels and mcss-backs of the South. They
all danced up and formed into line to the
music of his speech, moving as did the
trees, stones and wild beasts at "that
strange song which once Apollo sung,
when lion like mist rose into towers.

The Primer in Politics.

Yes, this is likely to be campaign OF
education for some people. Even some
of the old-time Greenbackers are wholly
at sea in discussing the great financial
problem Of to-day. The free-silver ao-
vocate who stated in an argument that
the ratio of IS to I simply means that
every time the Government coins one
dollar in gold it must coin sixteen silver
dollars" no doubt was honestly IN favor
of the imitation Of the currency. But the
man who said that under the 10 to idea
"a man could present a gold dollar at
the bank and get sixteen silver dollars
for it, didn't seem TO reflect that upon
that basis he might have some trouble IN
getting hold of gold dollar. Free Sill
yer and free lunch seem to be synony-
nous terms in the minds of some "hnan-
ciers" in these days. The man was
thirsting for knowledge, however, who
said he wanted little light on the sub
iect: he didn't know whether this 10 to
they were talking so much about meant
that a silver dollar should be IS times as
big as it is now or IS times as heavy as a
gold dollar"
lust here is a simple proposition which
it might be we'll to consider: suppose
we could find seventeen OF the larges'
mountains in the country composed
wholly of the precious metals at the ratio
of sixteen mountains of silver to one OF
gold, and should convert them into coin
and scatter 'free silver" and gold
throughout the land. dividing the coin
per capita. In that event we might all
become millionaires several times over.
Yet, with all that money it would not be
1:-:-L1-.A---
We should have to go on to till the SOIL
for food, and to manufacture necessary
articles out of raw materials as now.
We should have so much money it would
cease to discharge its appropriate func-
ton as such, and we should be forced to
look after some other circulating medium
as a measure of value.
Man, government, law, only took hold
of and utilized the materials furnished
by nature in the adoption of gold and
silver as money Nature fixed the ratio
of value by the relative supply OF the two
metals. Statistics show that from 1892
to 1872 the average annual product of
silver in this county was about two
millions of dollars. From 1873 to 1894
the product ran up to the average OF fifty
millions of dollars annually. During the
two years of 1892 and 1898 alone, this
country contributed more silver to the
worlds stock of that metal than it had
done during the whole eighty years pre-
vious to 1873, The price of silver went
down because of its excessive production
compared with gold. There is more sil-
yer produced than the world can absorb
in its present uses and the price has gone
down. The universal law of nature and
of commerce brought it down, just as 1t
did the price of wheat, of iron OF calico
and everything else. That is all there is
of it, and it seems quite easy to under
stand. Wellsboro Agitator.

A State Medical Scandal.

There has been trouble before over the
state medical examinations, and if anv-
thing additional were needed to bring
the State system into disrepute il
was furnished by the recent discovery
that at the last examination applicants
were furnished with the questions to be
asked by one of the examiners
The Harrisburg papers say that to
ayoid scandal the promised investiga-
ton will be hushed up. A graduate Of a
Maryland school. who started ont to buy
the questions with contributions from
the applicants is to be punish ed by hav.
his certificate held back for SIX months,
but we do not hear of any punishment
being meted out to the examiner.
An official acting for the State and for
the protection of the people who would
thus abuse the confidence reposed in him
is, of course, unworthy the position OF
trust which he has occupied. Furnishing
TIE student aud letting the examiner 90
unpunished is like straining at gnat
and swallowing a camel. 1t doesn't I'M
prove the matter any to hush it up. The
honorable physicians of the State should
interest themselves i'll removing the
source of possible future scandals con.
cerning their profession.

free coinage of silver and gold at the

lies, by the Government; direct taxa
ton of property and incomes by the
National Government; election OF the

al other things, including, of course the
suppression os the manufacture, sale, I'M
portation, expectation and transportation
of Intoxicating liquors for beverages.
The Executive Committee of the new
party 'iny1tes all citizens who desire the
good of the whole people and the over
throw of all political wrongs" to go TO
the polls next November and elect
Bentley and Southgate as President and
Vice. President of this republic. If so
great good can be brought about by SO
simple process, we don't see why 1t
shouldn't be done; but many voters
may look upon some of the avowed
objects of the new party as harmful to
the people. And SO Bentley and South
