THE free silver quacks. are not play
ing fair with the people. Even patent
medicine quacks have string of testi-
monials to print from people who are
willing to certify to great cures. Can't
our free silver quacks get few testi-
monials about good times fro;a Mexico
or China? We would take pleasure in
printing a few testimonials from those
Mexican laborers who work for seven
teen cents a day of American money
and board themselves. We would also
buy the services of Chinese linguist
who could translate something from
the Chinese tongue to tell of the count
less thousands who have died of star
walton in China.

Mai. Edward Scofeld.

The republican nominee for govern
or, Maj. Edward Scofeld, Of Oconto.
is "a years old and has been resident
of Oconto twenty years. He was born
at Clearfeld, Pa, March %, 1912, and
obtained his education in the common
schools and at the academy in Clear
field. When IS years old he set out for
himself and secured a position as Office
boy in the Office of the Indiana Demo
cyat at Indiana, Pa. Ia 1858 he went
to Brookvilie, Pa, and secured posi-
ton on the Brookville JeferS01si01 at
the regulation wages prevailing for
young printers of those times of 500 a
wear and board. There he remained
until April, 1861, when President Lin
coin issued his first call for $4,000 men
to put down the rebellion. Young SEQ
field was one of the first to enlist in the
service of his country and was assigned
to the Eleventh Pennsylvania Re-
serves. His regiment was held at
Pittsburg until the battle of First Bull
Run, when it was ordered to Washing
ton and went into active service in aid
ing to check the rebels in their effort
to capture the national capital. The
first hard engagement in which he par
ticipated was the battle of Gettysburg,
where he distinguished himself and
was Immediately after promoted to the
position Of captain Of company K in his
regiment, his con mission stated that
the promotion was because Of meri-
torious conduct upon the field.
At the battle Of the Wilderness, May
5, 1864, Capt. ScofeId was taken a
prisoner and remained ten months in
the hands Of the rebels, during which
time he was in a dozen different pris-
ons, including Andersonyille, and was
finally paroled at Raleigh, n. c., and
sent to Wilmington, thence to Annap-
oils hospital, where, when sufficiently
recuperated to travel he was sent
home, finding on his return there a
commission promoting him to the rank
of major for meritorious conduct in
the battle of the Wilderness"
At the close of the war Maj. Scofeld
secured a position with an engineers
corps engaged in surveying railroad
through the mountains from Pittsburg
to Driftwood. He pursued this occu-
patton some time and then came west,
securing a position as foreman in mill
in Oconto, where he has since lived
and grown from an employe to an ex-
tensive employer of labor in the lum
bering business. That he is highly es-
teemed by the people of his own part Of
the state is clearly proven by the sup
port given him this year as we'll as two
years ago in his candidacy for the
nomination for governor.
In 1887 Maj. Scofeld was elected to
the state senate and has served accept
ably in that office.

THE Issues of the coming campaign
have been materially altered during the
past month. The money question was
an important issue before the nomina-
ton of Bryan on free coinage plat
form; but this has made the issue one
between silver and gold. The cam
paign will probably have to be fought
out on that line. But it should not be
assumed that to defeat the free coinage
of silver is to solve the money question.
On the contrary, the real solution of
the money question will then have to
be undertaken. With the election of
Mckinley and republican congress,
the republican party will be forced to
take up the money question in its
broader and more statesmanlike as
poets, and undertake comprehensive
revision of our banking institutions.
This is the real monetary reform that
the people of the south and west need
and think they are going to get by
voting for Bryan. The fact that they
are mistaken and will vote solidly for
BRYAN, Should not in the least affect
the determination of the republican
party to undertake the remedial legis-
lation so much needed, even though it
meets strong opposition.

THERE is never a season Of hard
times in which some quaek will not
arise to give his favorite panaeea. In
the depression which has lately come
upon us the free silver quack is on
hand trying to make people believe
that all present evils have been caused
by an act of congress demonetizing
silver in 1873, and he further says that
all the ills can be cured if be is only
allowed to sell the mine owners silver
TO the United States mint. We have
all seen plenty of good and prosperous
times since 1873. The prosperous
years that we did enjoy disprove all
that the silver quacks now have to say
on this question.

A "Per capita" Conundrpm.


Every true worshiper of the silver
fetch" believes as the first article of
the free-coinage gospel that If the guam
tity of money is doubled prices will be
twice as high. This is the essence of
the per capita argument and is consid-
cred by both silverites and fatists to be
the sum of financial wisdom. Second
only to their faith in the sacred words
'sper capita" is the belief of the cheap
money advocates that the undeniable
prosperity of France is due to the fact
that that country has about $40 Of
money for each inhabitant. Attempts
to show that In reality the French peo-
pie are prosperous because Of their
| high level of intelligence, their skill in
| the industrial arts, their system of land
holding and methods Of civilization and
the great and varied natural resources
of the country have had no weight with
the one-idead silver agitators.
Since France has nearly twice as
much money per capita as the United
States, according to the believers in
the theory that the quantity of money
fixes prices, goods should be twice as
dear in France as in America Now, it
is notorious that such is not the case.
On the contrary, the products of French
mills, factories, etc., are sold so cheap4y
that it is necessary to impose heavy
duties on them to prevent their COM
petition with high-priced American
goods. Will some per capita fnancier
explain why the large volume of money
in France does not raise prices in that
country?

little savings out Of bank after we

go there via the Is to / short line.

suddenly conclude to withdraw their
savings and convert them into gold be-
fore we should drop to the silver basis.
Only small percentage could obtain
their deposits before the doors of the
banks would close. The great major
ity of depositors would have to wait
until we had actually reached silver
basis before they could withdraw their
deposits, and this picture shows the
kind of money they would obtain. 1t

have only cheap dollars to return to

BUSINESS TROUBLE.
The Faust Shoe Manufacturing Company
of Havre de Grace Makes an
Assignment.

The Faust Shoe Manufacturing Company
of Hartford County, which has been conduct
ing large shoe manufacturing business in
Hayre de Grace. on Saturday made Il deed of
trust for the benefit Of creditors to Ahram 7.
McCombs. president of the First National
Bank Of Hayrc de Grace, and Charles II.
Faust, of the Faust Company. The trustees
have filed n bond Tor 500. 900 in the Circuit
Court for Hartford County. The court has
assumed jurisdiction of the trust. and has
issued an order authorizing and directing
the trustees, Messrs. McCombs and Faust, to
proceed to close out the business ofthe concern
prior to the regular shutdown in July, with
authority to make such purchases as may be
necessary to complete the stock ON hand.
The assets are claimed to be something over
:10O, 900 and the Liabilities 1900. The i'm
mediate cause of the collapse was the attach
ment of consignment of goods by New
York creditors. The company was indebted
to the First National Bank of Havre de Grace
to the amount of $4,000, hence the selection
Of Mr.. A. P McCombs, its president, as one
of the trustees. The company removed to
Havre de Grace from Baltimore about six
years ago, great inducement having been
offered for them to locate there. The style of
the concern was then ]. Faust Il Sons. About
three years ago, however, Herman Schocke
was taken in as partner and the style of the
firm was then changed to the Faust-Schocke
Shoe Manufacturing Company. Mr.. Schocke
withdrew about year ago and the company
was recognized and styled the Faust Shoe
Manufacturing Company. The first three or
four years the firm did large business, en-
playing about 200 hands, but the loss of the
services of their main broker couple of
years ago crippled their business.
The court having granted the continuance
OF the business under direction of the trustees
for the present, it is thought permanent ar
rangements will be made.
