Building operations in this city are
practically at standstill, and builders
and carpenters, together with masons and
other artisans, have little to do. Thus
far this year the city through Mayor Ap-
pelgate, has granted but thirty building
and repair permits, and the building sea-
son is about over, and the winter season
is at hand.
Only few years since, the building
and repair permits granted in Bridgeton
aggregated an average of one hundred
and fifty to two hundred. During the
entire year of 1896 these permits will not
amount to fifty, and it will be surprising
if they run over forty.

Sewall, in view, not simply of his candi-

His own town, Bath, voted against the

The special significance of this repudia-

We have had the gold standard ever
since 1884, during which period we have
had the greatest prosperity in our exis-
tence. The times have been bad ever
since 1898, because in that year, owing to
the increasing silver imitation of our cur-
rency and the increasing agitation for the
free coinage of silver, people began to
fear we were going to change from the
gold to the silver standard, and conse-
quently began raiding the Treasury for
gold. The distrust spread to bank de.
positors and business men, and the panic
followed. Prosperity would have re-
turned long ago if it had not been for the
noisy and active movement to force the
policy of free silver upon the country

HONEST MONEY.

Have the people read the platform of
the State Democratic Convention which
was held last week in Trenton? Did the
people notice how the Convention de-
clared for Bryan and free silver? Do the
people believe the Convention was
Listen! Just four months ago the State
Democratic Convention choose delegates
to go to Chicago to nominate a President.
That Convention passed resolutions, and
following is portion of the platform:
1--WE are in favor of a firm, unvarying
maintenance of the present gold standard.
I'VE are opposed to the free coinage of
silver at any ratio and to the compulsory
purchase of silver bullion by the Govern
ment.
1--WE believe that the interests of the
people demand that the earnings of trade,
agriculture, manufacture and commerce,
and especially the wages of labor, should
be paid in money of the greatest intrinsic
value of the highest standard adopted
by the civilized nations of tho world.
I'VE are therefore unalterably opposed
to all devices and schemes for the debase-
ment of our currency"
Now will the New Jersey voters deter
mine which was the honest convention of
the New Jersey Democracy? Will some
body explain why the change is made in
it's declaration upon the financial ques-
ton? Will somebody explain why the
free coinage of silver now is preferable to
the gold standard of four months since?
These questions are pertinent.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says that
"if there is anything in history, in logic
or experience, it is certain that in every
financial convulsion the poor suffer most.
The rich man can live on half his income.
but the poor man cannot divide his and
live well. Ask the workingmen up in
Kensington, who have been working on
half time for nearly three years, how
they like to have their wages cut in two
This is the whole problem. Give the
workingman cheap dollar, and let the
rich get richer by speculation. That is
what free silver will mean."

A quiet, unobstrusive and beautiful
long life has just ended in the death of
Margaret Whitecar, at the residence of
Mrs. L. w. Bacon, No.s1S2 East avenue,
with whom for eighteen months past she
has had comfortable home.
Mrs. Whitecar, only on Saturday last,
passed the eighty eight milestone in the
pathway of life which since her widow
hood, over forty-five years ago, she has
trodden in the face of adverse circun-
stances-being a portion of the time al
most totally blind-with remarkable
patience and cheerfulness.
In 1873 our beneficient Government ex-
tended the benefits of the pension law to
the soldiers of the war of 1912, and their
widows. For several years preceding
our State had granted the pension. AS
the widow OF Josiah Whitecar, she be-
came entitled to the help thus afforded,
and on this meagre stipend, she has lived
frugaily and contentedly through these
many years.
With comparatively no education she
was possessed of remarkably sound
sense, kindly nature and good heart.
For many years past, she has found
great comfort in the society and ministra-
tions OF few young ladies of our city,
reared amid more favorable surround
ings,. who have shared with her like
pleasure and profit in theirlabors of love.
For half a century Mrs. Whitaker has
been a consistent mamhar of (,opn,oroo

Here is the sort ofargument that Bryan
is using to convince the voters that the
Republican party is bad:
81 wouldn't have John Sherman buried
in the same grave with Benedict Arnold,
for that would be disgrace to Arnold.
Carlisle is a tool of Wall street, too. He
has issued bonds contrary to law to
maintain gold reserve that is itself con-
trary to law. The men who instituted
that gold reserve, and the men who have,
contrary to law, maintained it, ought to
be strung up on telegraph poles"

1.-THE man who shouts "Vote for Bryan
and give US more money had better ask
himself how he expects to get dollar
after it is coined," says Congressman
John J. Gardner. "The business man
gets his money through his business, and
the workingman gets his through work.
Therefore, to get money, the business
man must have business, and the work.
ing man must have work.
''The claim that the free coinage of
silver will start up our industries is the
greatest folly and nonsense. The way to
get business and work is by restoring the
conditions of 1892, when we had a protec-
tive tariff.
"When the tariff is restored and dollar
continues to be worth dollar by the de-
feat of the free coinage dream, then will
workingmen have work and get paid in
the best money under the Skies"
Bridgeton pioneer., 1896-09-17

All the candidates for office and their
stump speakers are asking questions of
the workingman. Before making up his
mind how to vote, the workingman will
do well to ask few questions himself, to
wit:
Does the present 10O-cent dollar buy too
much food, clothing and family supplies
for my advantage? Do I want it's pur-
chasing power diminished?
What assurance have I that my wages
will be advanced to correspond with the
increase of prices which the free silver
orators say is necessary to give the
country boom?
Can l mark up my wages as fast or as
easily as the grocer or merchant can
mark up his prices?
What compensation can there be for me
in giving the silver mine owners free
coinage for their bullion ii my wages will
buy less and my savings are legally
made payable in 53-cent dollars? Where
do / come in?"
How will it help me to hurt Rock efeller,
Gould, Sage, Pierpont Morgan or even
Carnegie and Pullman? Can't the ''money
kings" stand a panic and more business
depression better than 1 can?
Is the best dollar in the world too good
for me or for any workingman?
Am I the fool that the Populist cranks
and free silver orators take me to be?
The workingman who is capable of ask
ing himself practical questions like these
and giving sensible answers, is in no
danger of voting to clip his dollar or scale
down his savings.

NEW MEN TO FRONT.

When the Popocrats at Chicago, cap
tured the Democratic National Conven-
ton, the old time leaders who had grown
up with the party, and had conducted It's
battles for years, retired in disgust.
They declared they could not stand
revolution, nor would they.
Last spring when the New Jersey
Democracy met in the State Convention,
they declared for honest money and in
structed the delegates against the free sill

Four short months have rolled away,
and Wednesday another class of Demo-
Gratis, headed by the Hudson County
Senator, Bill DAILY, repudialed honest
money and declared for the Boy Orator,

THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS.

President Hayes, of the green glass
blowers organization, was in town last
highland he had long talk with PIo-
NEER representative
Mr.. Hayes is very pleasant and court
eous young man and seems to have the
entire confidence of all those in the organ
ization which he represents. His special
mission in this section is to investigate
the matter of non-union labor in this
section.
President Hayes is, of course, enthusi-
astic in his support of organized labor.
He believes that the best interests of the
trade are subserved by union principles.
He finds that the non-union sentiment
here is very strong and he is exceedingly
anxious that the conditions may be other
wise.
He says that in the West most
of the factories unionized and the
organization is very much stronger in
that section than it has been for years.
He is exceedingly anxious that there shall
be a change in this locality.
President Hayes does not believe in
revolution. He has work that he de-
sires to be accomplished, but he desires
to bring it about in manner that will
not antagonize those who are interested.
His time is now spent in inquiring into
every phase of the situation. He is de-
termined that he shall thoroughly UNDER
stand every side of the question at issue.
Then his purpose will be to harmonize
the contending interests, bringing about
a thorough understanding between the
manufacturers and workmen. This is to
be done, if accomplished at all, in an
amicable manner, and there will be no
strikes or other revolutionary proceed
ings. The whole temper of Mr.. Hayes
demeanor seems to be entirely fair and
gentlemanly, and his actions promise to
be made in thorough good faith.

Dayis adjudged him guilty, and imposed
a fine of $40 and costs. He was unable to
pay, and was sent to jail. Later friends
came in, put up the necessary sound
money and Herder was discharged
Then came Frank Wright and Edward
Garrison. They were youngsters who
seem to have pepchant for stealing.
William Alcorn went to Mayor Appel
gate and charged the boys with stealing
from him five cigars and two pipes, and
the boys pleaded guilty. A small bail
was placed on them, but they could not
find bondsmen, so they were taken to
Jail.
The other two came from Greenwich,
and their names appeared upon the COM
mitment as Albert Lilly and Ed. War
man. The complainant against them
was Levi Westfelt. He charged the two
men with coming to his house and gross
ly insulting the ladies present, and when
they were ordered out, refused to leave.
Then they were arrested, and are now
confined in Jail until the October term of

The Pine Tree State has fairly outdone
herself. Silver was to-day given her
second ringing defeat in Golden, New
England. While all the country waited
in hopeful expectation that under the
most favorable circumstances and good
weather she would exceed her previous
victories, none but the recklessly SAN
guine dared to predict anywhere near tho
figures which at midnight delight the
hearts of all patriotic citizens. Maine to.
day in her State election went Republican
by more than twice as big a majority az
she has ever recorded in a Presidential
year, and in so doing has clearly shown
the sentiment of her voters against the
fallacy of the free silver scare. The CAM
paign and the vote was based almost en-
tirely upon national issues.
There were no State issues. Early in
the evening Secretary. Beane, of the Demo-
cratic State Committee, conceded the
election of the Republican ticket by over
10000 majority. He confessed he was
surprised. The vote in Bath, the home
of the Democratic candidate for Vice
President, is significant. Out of a total
OF LIS votes cast, Powers has 1912, while
the silver candidate has only 435. In Mr..
SewalPs own ward the candidate of his
party has but go votes, while the Repub-
lican received LA. There was total of
over hundred more votes cast in Bath
than in 1892, and within 13 as mapy as in
the last Presidential election.
