1t is favorite argument among
our Republican friends that the tar
if enables the farmer and wage
Garner to handle more money even il
it costs more to live. There is ia
vorite delusion among our people
that the earning of two dollars is
more like prosperity than earning
one dollar even if the two dollars
does not buy more than one. This
is the tariff argument. And if it is
good as applied to the tariff it ought
to be good as applied to financial
policy which cheapens money and
enables the laborer to handle more of
it. We have Republican authority
for the declaration that this will be
the effect Of free coinage.

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.


There has been more than one
gratifying improvement in the
management of the B. & 0. rail
road since itpassed into the control
of the present receivers. Not to
mention the changes which have
been made in the direction of a
more extensive and effective equip
ment of the rolling stock of the
road-particularly in the matter
OF freight transportation-there
have been several minor improve
ments which indicate a better tat g
of affairs. Particularly worthy of
commentator is the increased reg
ularity in the running of trains. 1t
is stated that during the months of
April, May and June there was no
greater punctuality in train-move-
ment on any railroad system of
of the United States of an equal
amount of mileage. Schedule time
was maintained with only the nor
NAL number of exceptions, both in
the passenger and freight service,
and in the West as we'll as the
East. The New York trains, par
ticularly the express trains, have
always held very good record.
But more than one traveller has
complained-and with reason-of
the hardness and uncertainty of
trains on the Western divisions of
the road. The announcement that
for three months passenger and
freight trains have been moving
with regularity is an indication Of
what can be done under proper
management, and is a happy omen
for the future.

The issue, what is it, 1t is,
shall both gold and silver remain
where they are placed by the con-
stitution, the basis of our money
system, or shall gold alone be the
standard?
The Democratic party is for BIZ
metallism, gold and silver; the
Republican party is for gold alone.
There is no legal gold standard
in the United States, for the con-
stitution is bi-metallic. But the
Republican platform declares for
the existing gold standard.
Therefore, there is an existing
gold standard which is violation
of the letter and spirit of the con-
stitution.
How did we come to have this
existing but not legal gold stand
ard?
We have it because silver has
been demonetized by Republican
legislation at the instance of the
money changers of Wall street.
The Tory Democrats are in favor
of the existing gold standard.
Why was silver demonetized?
1t was done in order to double
the value of the credits held by the
money changers, SO that the man
who owed one dollar would be COM
PEELED to pay two.
Did the act of 1873 have that eff
feet?
1t certainly did, because it con-
tracted the legal tender of this
country one-half-this is as plain
as pike strff.
Why did the Democratic conven-
ton refuse to endorse Cleveland's
administration?
Because the Democratic plat
form of 1892 declared in favor of
the coinage of both metals without
discrimination against either, and
yet every financial act of the pres
ent administration has been a dis
elimination against silver. The
Democratic convention was not a
taffy pulling, it was business.
The Republicans and Tory DEM
ocrats say that we refuse to MAIN
tain the credit of the government.
This is fraudulent representation.
We are simply opposed to paying
in gold what should be paid in sill
yer. We are opposed to paying
two dollars for one dollar debt,
but we will pay dollar for dollar.
They threaten money panic.
Perhaps they will discover, if they
attempt it, that treason against
the business of the country
is treason against the people,
We might give them a dose of
their own medicine, and call out
the troops.-Wetzet Democrat.

Very gladly do respond with a few
words for the Associations page Of the

rooms of the Young Women's Christian
Association Of Scranton, to become Its
general secretary. I think more efii-
Client and devoted board of managers
has never been placed in charge of any
association than was my privilege to
work with during the two years and
half of my stay there. Together we
studied the work and the best ways OF
adapting it to the needs Of all young
women, for in principles and aims the
associations work has been the same
from the first and those were the days
Of beginnings.
Our physical department consisted of
two classes a week and an occasional
health talk. Our apparatus consisted
Of two dozen dumb bells and Indian
clubs. Miss Della Evans, our leader,
though in the school room all day,
brought much enthusiasm to the class.
The best regulated Evening associa-
ton college" OF the present time cannot
be more appreciated than was the in
formal class work, when teachers, each

branches. There were classes In Ger

who desired them, also.

in the work always, whether the young
women came together informally or the
whole association and outside friends

New Years Day at the rooms when
members of the board presided as host
csses, the evenings spent at the homes
of friends, or to enjoy some flower ex-
hibit in the conservatory Of our state
chairman, were specially bright seasons
in the lives of many.
The Sunday gospel meetings brought
together many young women, not a few
of whom here entered upon the better
life. To these services at times came
girls from the hills beyond the city to
the south. That these more distant
ones might enjoy such meetings Oftener
a prayer service was occasionally held
in the home of an interested friend on
the South Side. From this grew the

A MESSAGE FROM MISS TOLLES.

The request for O word Of greeting
upon the occasion Of publishing the
Womalis Paper Is one to which I gladly
respond The eight months Of my con-
nection with the association, as secre-
tary, have given me an interest in all
Its affairs which happily may continue
In spite Of the dissolution of that rela-
tionship. 1t is a pleasure to feel myself
still a member, entitled to those priv
ileges of membership over which dis
tance can have no power
The belief which forced itself upon me
during those months Of service, that
God Intends the Scranton Young Wo-
mems Christian Association to have a
home OF Its own, adequate for its needs,
and worthy Of its character as an estab-
lished institution, has by no means
weakened Rather, the conviction deep
ems that In response to an earnest, sys-
tematio effort upon our part, God will
IN some way supply our need. My
greeting then Is the word OF David to
Solomon: BE strong and of good
courage, and do It; fear not nor be dis
mayed; for the Lord God, even my God,
will be with thee: he will not fail thee
nor forsake thee, until thou hast fin
ished all tho work for the service Of the
house Of the Lord"

Is to touch the unevangelized girls OF
our cities and lead them to knowledge
Of the Christ-life. by the loving SYM
pathy and helpfulness Of o body OF
consecrated women.
When a spirit of patient. unselfish,
Christ like love that believes In the pos
sibilities for good in every soul. that
longs to brng the joy and strength Of
Jesus to those whose lives apart from
Him are barrenness and waste, when
such spirit permeates an organization
and impels to action, its influence Is
boundless, an overwhelming circle
touching the home. the social and the
civil life Of our cities.
Woman's influence Is felt today In
every avenue of business life, and II
1t always be pure. true and ennobling 1t
will be as the summer shower purifying
the moral atmosphere.
The Christian woman, trained, INTEL
ligent. consecrated. with soul aflame
with love of truth, and full Of tenderest
pity has under the blessing Of God a
mission in society which she has not
yet realized. Indeed, she can make the
world what she will.
Recognizing how much depends on
the character Of woman In the home,
in society and in business, the Young
Women's Christian Association seeks
the cooperation Of all women in thus
standing together for q common pur-
pose, and that purpose Is the realiza-
ton Of an ideal and that ideal Is per-
feet womanhood." When to woman Is
given a lofty purpose. courage to be
true. and right conception Of right
eousness. mother-like Rachel and Mary
will be multiplied, and to the teachers
and the business women will come tru-
er conceptions Of privilege and duty,
and the aimless daughter of wealth will
be aroused to sympathetic helpfulness.
The aim then, Of the Scranton associa-
ton Is to do q spiritual work among
young women. But 1t recognizes as
well their intellectual, social and physi-
cal needs and furnishes the machinery
whereby all these elements may de-
velop. The prize toward which 1t
reaches is a perfectly symmetrical wo-
manhood In Christ Jesus. Through the
various departments 1t seeks to give to
all women opportunities to use and de-
velop the talent God has given them.
The field Is vast, stretching away at
the feet Of every Christian woman 1t
CLEANS white for the harvest. Every
where girls are to be won from selfish
ease to toll for others, from Indifference
to deep concern, from despair to JOY,
from sin and bondage to purity and lib
erty in Jesus Christ. Closely allied to
the churches, and founded upon their
evangelical basis, 1t seeks to cooperate
with the church, looking to it for guild
ance and encouragement
God has given unto this association
In the past the seal Of his Divine bless
ing, and it looks unto Him as the au-
thor and finisher Of this work, hearing
Him say: Not by might nor by, power.
but by my Spirit"

THE AIM AND INFLUENCE OF THE
Y. W. c. A.

The Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation is no longer but little known In
this land of ours, but throughout Its
length and breadth is recognized as
mighty Christianizing agency.
While it is primarily and definitely
an association organized for the up
lifting Of womanhood, its influence ex-
tends to all. AS its Divine mission is to
inspire in young women Divine ideal
of character and to cultivate "a spiritual
life, the attainment of this object and
the consummation Of its efforts must
exert potent influence for good.
To many, seeing only the many de-
partments Of an association, it seems
to be but a compact symmetrical Or
ganization. But. even as in the hu-
man body the life-giving heart Is hid
den, SO, in this body underneath and
behind all the various departments the
heart-the aim of the organization
sends life and energy into every part.
What Is this ainl-this purpose? 1t

which Baraga won by a score of IA

Houghton correspondent of the
Mining Journal says:
The excessive heat seemed to
take the ginger or starch out of both
clubs, neither of which played any
thing like its usual game. Interest
was kept up from the fact that the
game was close from start to finish
and not decided until the last man
was retired in the ninth inning.
Baraga presented new pitcher
Bender from Manistique. Though
not hit hard he struck several bats
men, and this, together with sever
al bases on balls, gave Houghton a
lead in the early part of the game,
Bender was relieved by Bergman
in the fifth inning and pitched his
usual steady game. Driscoll and
Mutter formed Houghton 5 battery.
Good catches were made by Croze,
Haas and Goulette, of Houghton.
The Baragas welded the stick with
telling effect, especially when the
hits were most needed. Cooney
