Our Republican enemies continue
to tell as that it is the tariff ques-
ton that is the most important to
the welfare Of the country, and cite
the fact that we did not feel hard
times until Cleveland took the reins
of government, and the Wilson
tariff bill became law. They
never stop to explain that under
Harrison the country had the Bland
Allison coinage act, which required
the purchase and coinage of from
100000 to 100000 ounces Of sill
yer per month. When that was
changed and the Sherman purchas
ing act took its place the real hard
times began. And the repeal of
that act was the last straw. The
tariff had but little to do with the
case.

EDWARD ATKINSON, the great (?)
economist and financier, is again to
the front on the financial question,
and as heretofore, is opposed to the
free coinage of silver. We have not
heard much from Atkinson since
Congressman Bartine slammed him
up against the gold standard wall
some years ago. But now that he
is getting frisky again it might be
a good plan for the silver men to
circulate the Atkinson Bartine ar
gument as campaign literature.

The Mckinley organs are MAX
ing great point over the fact that
the Major was in the Rebellion, and
Bryan was not. 1t is rather un-
fortunate that the silver nominee
was only six years Of age when the
war closed, but a man should not
be blamed for the lateness of his
birth. McKinley's adherents should
be little more charitable. The

that the Lord did not provide for

THE New York Herald says Mr..
Hanna is worried and has decided
to prolong his stay in New York for
some days. The trusts and syndi-
Gates from which he expected large
contributions do not respond to his
appeals for funds. A canvass of the
agricultural districts in the West
show that so per cent of the Repub-
lican farmers are for Bryan and
unless money can be had to turn
the tide there is no hope for McKin-
ley.

M. M. EsTEE, the paid servant of
the Central Pacific railroad, has
made another speech. This time it
is for protection and Mckinley. Mr..
Estee used to pose as free coinage
advocate. He says if we have free
coinage now that it will reduce the
amount of money in the country be-
cause it the minis run on silver that
is offered they will have no time to
coin gold. He says the capacity of
the minis would only be about
$40,O00,000 year of silver, while
something like 100000 are now
being coined in gold. This is very
serious milling block, to be sure.
1t would be utterly impossible to
build mint or two more in the
United States, of course, and this is
how he figures that free coinage will
give us less metallic money. Great
statesman! If the Republicans
would put few more men like Estee
in the field there would be no
trouble about Bryan carrying the
country. Better send Estee to New
York or Ohio. His talent is wasted
in this section.

VERMONT has again given a large
Republican majority in her State
election, and Republicans think this
decides the national question. No
body except lunatics expected that
Vermont would do anything else.
No sane man expects that Bryan
will carry single New England
State, except, perhaps, New York.
The people Of those States are the
greediest persons on the face of the
earth. They are for high protec-
tive tariff for their bass wood hams,
wooden nutmegs and glass eyes but
never stop to consider that the
country west of the Missouri river
needs some protection to her indus
tries as we'll, and nothing but free
coinage of silver will give us that
protection,

MARRIED FORTY YEARS,

Last Saturday was the fortieth
anniversary of the marriage of Mr..
and Mrs. Conrad Kramer of Jersey
town, and their children determined
that it should be celebrated in such a
manner that they would have cause
to remember it for several yaars. So
they invited large number of friends
to help them celebrate the occasion.
When the day for the festivities arrived
nearly everyone invited was present,
because they knew that a good time
was In store for them at the pleasant
home of the host and hostess. An
abundant and splendid dinner and
supper had been provided, which was
heartily enjoyed by about forty
persons. Among those from a dis
tance were Rev. and Mrs l.. F. Brown
of Washingtonville, Chas. Kramer,
and w. H. Stevenson and wife OF
Lock Haven, Joseph Kramer and
wife, Mrs. w. H. Kramer and son,
and Harry Kramer and wife OF
Williamsport; Mrs. Daniel Ritter and
daughter of Muncy, VIM. Kramer and
wife of Bloomsburg, w. E. Kramer
and wife of Milton, E. F. Johnson
and wife of Harrisburg, Jacob Kramer
and wife of White Hall.
One of the remarkable circumstan-
ces connected with their married life
is the fact that this anniversary was
held in the same house in which they
commenced housekeeping forty years
ago, and which they have continuous
ly occupied.
