Republican candidates for. county
commissioner are as thick as flies around
sugar refinery on a July morning.
The ordinary claims for recognition,
such as years of party service, location,
nationality, etc, are too common to
carry weight, and some ingenious pleas
are being made by the aspirants One
Mr.. Dow claims the nomination because
he is great grandson of the first man
who burned hard coal in Wilkesbarre
another, Mr.. Chapman, wants it because
he was elected supervisor in his town
ship and failed to make any money out
of the job; A. ID. Hay thinks he is en-
titled to the place because Captain
Straw was elected to the same position
some years ago; j. w. Williams because
he is not relative of the famous Nor
gan H.; Tom Peters because he worked
so long around the court house that he
knows whore all the books are kept; and
so on through the long list. All have
some special reason, out Of the ordinary,
for seeking the cOmmissionership. Not
one of them wants the job for what is
i'm it.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, June 12, 1896.
BY far the most interesting event of
the closing hours of the session of con-
made in the house by Private" John
Allen, of Mississippi. After referring
to the universal criticism of his silence
during the session, he said: Il desire
to say, however, that there has been
little at this session of congress to
inspire Il man to be loquacious. And
| want to say further that | am not the
only great statesman whose recent
career has been distinguished by his
silence. There are good many of us
leaders, Mr.. Speaker, who have not been
talking much lately. But | have not
got anybody to go around and certify as
to what my views are. | notice that
distinguished gentleman, who they say
is about to be nominated for the presi-
dency of the United States, has a man
in every bailiwick giving IA certificate of
what his views on the financial question
are, but we cannot hear anything from
him. Now, / do submit that people are
authorized to certify all sorts of ways
for him, for he has certified all sorts of
ways for himself in times gone by. |
have number of his speeches in my
pocket. | do know which one he stands
on now, but he has stood on all sides of
this question, and people are giving out
certificates for him on all sides of the
question. They say that an egg that
goes around the country with u certif-
cate that it is good egg is not a safe
egg to buy, because, they say that egg
never starts out with certificate until
it gets under suspicion" Mr.. Aliens
speech was interrupted at every SEN
tence with laughter and applause and it
was evident that Speaker Reed enjoyed
his whacks at Mckinley.

Senator Gallinger, of New Hampshire,
who has aspirations to help manage Nc
kinley's campaign, was asked what
sort of platform the St. Louis convcn-
tion would adopt. His reply was: ut
will be the kind of Il platform that will
win." That tells the whole story.
While there are II few Republicans like
Senator Hawley, who is a single stand
ard gold man, and Senator Teller, who
is silver man, who put principle above
avcrything else, the great majority of
the party and of the delegates to st.
Louis are only intent upon framing a
platform that will win, regardless of
principles.

NOTHING IN IT FOR WAGE FARMERS

Nothing that Mr.. Bryan said at the
Tammany meetings last night offered
any solid reason to wage earners why
they should favor the free silver ex-
pertinent.
The higher prices Of which he talks
as quite certain to come from free COIN
age would have to be paid by the wage
earners. 1t is true that, in case Mr..
Bryan's belief that silver will rise at
once to par with gold under free COIN
age were realized, there would be no
higher prices demanded for food and
clothing, fuel or rent But In that case
the farmers, who want the higher
prices, would be deceived and dlsap-
pointed
Unless the universal experience of
mankind would be reversed for the
benefit of the United States, the mo-
ment. we coined inferior money in "un-
limited" quantity-money worth from
40 to 50 per cent. on the dollar less than
Its face valuation-all our gold would
vanish from the land. That certainly
would cause nominal advance in
prices.
Commodities would not be worth any
more under free coinage, but the dol
lars paid for them would be worth a
great deal less. and hence larger
number of those poorer dollars would
be asked for the goods. That is how
Bryans promise to raise prices would
be fulfilled. But unless wages were
nominally advanced higher than the
prices of goods, wage-earners would
not share in the rise. and nowhere
has Mr.. Bryan claimed that wages
would be so advanced.
We know by experience that wages
never have advanced as fast as the
prices of commodities In period Of
cheap money imitation. Labor, there
fore, Is bound to be loser II there Is
a change to the silver standard. Who
ever else might make temporary
profit by the trick of stamping So cents
worth Of silver as 81, with the inevita-
bic result of making everybody who
has anything to sell want larger
number Of dollars for the same guam
tity Of goods the wage-earners will lose.

The laboringman was heavy loser

certainly be the loser by free silver In

When the Democratic orators were
calling for lSwer prices by lowering the
tariff In 1892 they were demanding
cheapening Of goods at the expense Of
American wages, and for the benefit Of
foreign manufacturers Now they are
demanding higher prices through
flood Of cheap dollars-and again
at the expense Of American wages. 1t
Is hollow humbug and the American
workingmen see through It, They made
the mistake Of taking dose Of the
Democratic medicine In 1892. They will

THE POOR AGAINST THE RICH.

The ignoble but deliberate attempt
made by Bryan and Altgeld to array
the west against the east the farmers
and workingmen against the bankers
and capitalists the unprosperous
against the rich, in their own phrase,
the masses against the classes" Is the
last resource of a desperate case. That
1t cannot and will not succeed Is as
certain as that the sun shines, but 1t
Is no less menace to the good order
Of society and should receive the Sc
verest condemnation at the polls.
The American people are not that
kind Of people. We have not been so
bred and taught. There are no classes
In this country in any proper sense Of
that term, though we sometimes use
It for convenience sake. But there is
no class here, as in Europe, into which
one Is born, and In which, as a rule, he
must remain through life. Tho son Of
q laborer may aspire to the highest
station and reach IT. the son Of a rich
man may die In poverty and obscurity.
With US no insurmountable barrier
stops the progress Of any man who has
the will to dare and the ability to do,
and every boy Is born with the belief
that he may one day reach the pres
idency. The farmers son becomes the
great merchant or banker of the city,
while the son the capitalist not infre.
quently seeks the country.
There is no division line that keeps
any one out Of any class, and the rich
are constantly being recruited from the
ranks Of those who are In the humber
walks Of life.
What hope can there be, therefore,
for demagogues who preach discomfort
to the poor and unprosperous, or seek
to array class against class when they
recognize their own kinship and ac-
knowledge common origin? 1t IL
useless to tell the farmer that Wall
street is his enemy when he knows that
his son or his brother is one of the men
thus denominated. The poor man Of
today expects that he or his son will be !
the rich man Of tomorrow, and why
should he treat as his enemies the men
with whom he hopes to associate?
Americans have no patience with |
such teaching, and they have always
stamped 1t under foot. 1t is un-Ameri-
can and unpatriotic. 1t belongs to
lands where hereditary classes rule. It
has no footing on American sofl.-Chi-
cago Times Herald.
