McKINLEY AND SILVER

Our Democratic friends are trying hard to
extract some comfort from tho fact that at
one time Major Mckinley favored the use Of
silver, and are harping upon the subject pre-
paratory to swallowing the free silver dose
they are to have forced down their throats
by the Democratic convention at Chicago,
July 7th.
Major Mckinley and the platform he stands
upon do favor thc use Of silver by the only
practical method it can bo done, international
agreement, and until that can be accom-
plshed this country is not to be made the
dumping ground for the silver Of the world
to he coined into dollars worth intrinsically
fifty cents each Yes, Major Mckinley and
the party he represents, favor the use Of
silver, but only when it can be maintained at
parity with gold, which is the metal our
debts have to be paid in to foreign countries.
The supply Of silver in the world greatly
exceeds the demand for it, and like every
thing else under like conditions its value has
decreased so much that dollar contains but
slightly more than half dollars value, and
Major Mckinley and his party realize what
the best element of the Democratic party
also realizes, that il is an impossibility for
this country to bolster up the silver market
50 as to maintain il at a 10 to / value, unless
the commercial nations of the world Join Us
in doing so.
The Democratic party'ss tariff policy
has forced the currency question to
such prominence by the tremendous
reduction caused in the customs rev
cnue by the opening of our markets to
European countries. The Wilson tariff bill
was not even tariff for revenue, and under
it the balance of trade is so heavily against
US that it is rapidly draining US of our gold
aud piling up our debt
This condition is what made Major Nc
Kinley the strong candidate he is, and his
election with a Republican congress, means a
restoration of a tariff which will reverse the
balance of trade in our favor, stop the drain
age of gold, and the silver question will moi
be much heard off, The tariff is the issu,
that will appeal to the workingmau and viii
De the issue of the campaign,
The workingmau knows that any country
which buys more than it sells has to pay fo
it in the metal the seller uses, and as Europ,
wants gold for its goods, we must pay gold
unless we can arrange matters so that we sci
more than we buy We accomplished thi
before by tariff high enough to keep ou
European products and at the same time pro
duce revenue enough on the reduced import
10 meet the necessities Of the government
lie knows the Republican party has dom
this, and he knows, too, that the Democrats
party has in the only time it has had tn
executive and legislative branches of tn
government in its control since the war, rul
it to the verge Of bankruptcy, and he vii
vote accordingly,

A RESPITE coUNTERMANDED.
Alleged False Representations TO Prolong
Murderer AIerolla's Life.


HARRISBURG, June Ex-Governor Hast
ings has refused TO respite CrezensO Mer-
ola, who Is to be hanged at Scranton to-
morrow. Counsel for the murderer called
on Secretary Beeder on Sunday at his
home in Easton and asked that Merolla be
granted u respite for three months, so that
after discovered evidence might be pre-
scnted TO the board of pardons to prove
his innocence. The attorney represented
that he was there by request of William
Connell, of Scranton TO ask for respite
These facts were communicated to the
governor, at Bellefonte, and he ordered
that respite be granted until Oct. s.
Messenger Auter left Harrisburg yester-
day afternoon for Bellefonte with papers
for the governors signature. Meanwhile
Private Secretary Beitler received a mes
sage from Connell stating that his name
had been used by the attorney without
authority, and that in his Judgment Me-
rolla ought 20 be hanged. When the Sec
retary notified the governor of this, the
executive Immediately countermanded the
order for "A respite and notified Sheriff
Clemons of Laokawanna, of that fact.

bicycle Riders should be Careful.

Bicycle riders possessing a due regard for
the rights and privileges of pedestrians mover
clang their bells unnecessarily. 1t is sufficient
for the careful, observing cyclist to give
timely warning only, not to ring his alarm
after the occasion has passed, or in a hysterical
manner when it is too late. The wheeling
critics can best comprehend this statement.
Green cyclists run down pedestrians almost
daily in the large cities, and in nine cases out
of ten it develops that the rider rang too late,
forgot to do it, or did it when too far away
for his victim to note the warning. Common
sense will dictate when to ring and when not
to ring.
