Wichita, Aug. 3.-The Republican pri-
maries are being held here today.
Ostensibly s. R. Peters will get the

probate judge, Charles NJ. Mackey for
superintendent of public instruction.
John Davis for county attorney, E.
Webb for commissioner, Harry L. Cor
don for senator, and either S. N. Bridge
man or Mayor Cox for district clerk.
The fight is between the latter gentle
men, and it is very hot. Some trouble
is feared at the polls and application
was made today to the chief of police
for nearly 100 revolvers. 1t is said that
trouble cannot be averted in the Sec
ond ward, where the colored voters re-
side.

A STORY ABOUT QUAY.
IN. in the Times-Herald.

Wellman, in the Times-Herald
There Is q clever story about Senator
Quay which, though somewhat personal,
is so characteristic that I am inclined to
strain point and tell 1t. Mr.. Quay is not
very much of drinking man, but wien
he has a particularly hard political nut
to crack he likes to sit down and think 1t
out, aided by the Inspiration of some liquid
tonic. A year ago last spring Senator
Quay was threatened with political ami
hilation. The hog combine" was after
him, hot and heavy. Quay called meet
ing Of his followers Mt Brigantine Beach,
N. j. One whole evening they sat and
talked the matter over--Quay, Boles Pen
rose, Senator Andrews, Frank Leach and
others--and the chief question to be de-
cided was whether Quay himself or one
of his lieutenants should run for chair
man of the state committee. About mid
night the senator said: go to bed, boys,
and will sit here a while and think this
thing over. In the morning I'll give you
my decision"
Next morning the boys" came down.
stairs, and, to their great surprise, there
was Quay sitting just where they had left
him. On the table by his side was big
bottle of whisky, which had been full tho
night before. but which was now half
emptied
Boys" said Quay, pointing to the hot
tie, "T have taken my last drink till I
am elected chairman Of the state commit
tes." The decision once reached. no time
was lost In getting to work. Within forty

The Twin Shaft Disaster.

In the face of a calamity like that at
Pittston 1t becomes men to lay aside
every feeling save sympathy. The re-
sponsibility for the terrible affair, If it
can be placed to any other door than
that of sheer accident. can justly be
determined only when intense excite
ment shall have given way to dlscre-
ton.
Heartrending as the casualty Is, and
almost unprecedented in magnitude, it
is not to be undone by excited speech.
The occasion calls rather for ready aid;
and 1t speaks eloquently for the man
hood of the anthracite region that this
is already generously forthcoming.
Let those who speak of the coal trade
as an extortion look on this piteous
picture of its inexpressible cost and
bethink them where else in the whole
realm of peaceful industry the parallel
to 1t can be found.

THE GOLD STANDARD.

From the Globe Democrat.
The fact cannot be too often repeated
that the declaration of the Republican
party In favor of the gold standard sim
ply means the maintenance of u thing
that already exists. 1t is the free silver
people who propose to make change
and establish a new standard They
are against the present currency system,
and anxious to substitute for it one under
which a different kind Of money would
be used for the payment of debts and
wages and the TRANSACTION Of the coun-
try's business. The Republicans believe
in Keeping things as they are in that
respect That is to say, they hold that
we now have sound and satisfactory
money, and that it wouid be foolish and
disastrous to throw away this advan-
tage. 1t is not proposed to eliminate sill
Yer from the currency and prevent its
use for commercial purposes, but only
to so limit the amount of it that it can
circulate freely at par with gold. Any
intelligent voter can readily comprehend
the distinction and the reason for maxi
ing IT, We have absorbed as much sill
yer as we can carry with safety, and the
Republicans are opposed to an increase
Of 1t that would inevitably unsettle values,
depreciate the currency, and force us to
an inferior standard.
1t Is not true. as the free silver orators
practically assert, that the Republican
party Is seeking to make gold the only
form of money in the country. On the
contrary, 1t merely insists that other
forms of money shall be kept as good as
gold. There should be no objection to
that from any man who has the pros
perity and welfare Of the country at
heart. There cannot be two standards
of value at the same time, and the Re-
publicans contend that the one which
now exists. and which Is known to be
safe, should not be exchanged for one
that would be unsafe ais' in every way
mischievous. The silver element now in
the currency is freely accepted because
1t is on a parity with gold. and the Re-
publicans wish to continue it in service
on that basis: but they are against the
free and unlimited coinage of 1t because
that would destroy the parity and food
the country with n deprecated circua-
tion. 1t is not a question of dispensing
with the use of silver. but Of adapting
the volume of 1t to the conditions which
govern it's value. The limit of safety In
the coinage OF such money has been
reached, and the Republican party says
that we should have no more of it when
the result would certainly be stupen-
1ous misfortune. That is what Is meant,
and all that Is meant, by the maintenance
of the gold standard.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-06-29
Preferential Duties.

One Of the absurd arguments which
Is being advanced in some quarters
against the granting Of preferential du-
ties to imports brought to this country
in American ships, as proposed by the
st. Louis platform, is that other coun-
tries. especially England, might retail
ate by putting a duty on American
agricultural products sent to them in
American ships. 1t is sufficient re-
ply to this argument to state the obvi-
Gus truth that such duty, II imposed
by European country, would simply
lay an extra burden upon the consum-
ers in that country. Europe does not
buy American foodstuffs out of cour-
tesy or compliment, but because she
needs them and can nowhere else get
their equivalent at equally satisfactory
prices. On the contrary, few things
which we buy of Europe could not, IL
necessary. be made here ut home or
secured from some other quarter Of
the globe by American mariners doing
business under the American flag.
The granting Of preferential duties
by this country ID no new policy. It was
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-06-29

In the year 1907 the American tonnage
engaged In foreign trade amounted to
siS,SO6 tons. showing an increase in IS
years, under the stimulus of preferential
duties, of nearly 600 per cent. I'VE are"
says the Manufacturer, "in far better
position to put our system into effective
operation now than we were then; and
the profits from the ocean carrying
business in which our nation is inter-
ested are vastly larger in one year,
than the profits obtained during the Is
years referred to- The prize is so great
as to be worthy Of a vigorous struggle
to get 1t; but We can get it without a
struggle II the next congress shall stand
faithfully to the assurances given in
the party platform"
