THIRTEEN GOOD RULES,
penpv in phila delphia Pullatin

Penn in Philadelphia Bulletin.
Years ago. when william V. Mexican
was the guiding head of the Ledger he
had a set of rules. or maxims, for his sub
ordnates which ne rigidly enforced. !
cannot recall them all. but the principal
ones were pretty nearly as follows:
a newspaper to be trusted and respected
must give trustworthy information and
counsel. 1t Is serious thing to misleaj
the people.
Interstate your case rather than over
state It.
There is a wide gap between accusation
and guilt.
Have a sure voucher for every state
ment, but particularly for censure.
Deal gently with weak and helpless
offenders.
Never proceed on mere heresay. Rumo.
Is only an index to be followed up by in
quiry.
Better be right than quickest with "the
news" which may be false. Bad enough
to be late. but worse to be wrong.
Don't say you know when you have only
heard.
Before making up judgment on a case.
remember that there are at least two
sides, and that If you are to decide. you
must know both
Go to first hands for your information
If you cannot, get as near original sources
as you can.
Never add fuel to the fire of popular
excitement.
Uphold the authorities in maintaining
public order. Rectify wrongs through
the law. Nearly always there is law
enough. 1t is the failure to enforce it
that makes most mischief
All persons have equal rights in the
court of conscience as well as the courts
Of law.
This is a good chart to sail by. I think
that many more newspapers sail by 1t
now than when IL was promulgated by
the honest old editor who drew 1t up.

Let Protection Begin at Home.

The letter which we printed on Sat
urday from the president of the Scran-
ton Central Labor Union in relation
to the wisdom of letting Protection,
like charity, begin at home strikes
at a very serious local evil 1t is not
only true that q great many business
men in this city thOughtlessly let to
outside contractors contracts for work
which might better be given to local
contractors who will in turn employ and
keep at home all or most of the money
involved in the transaction, but 1t is
also true that well-tO-do Scrantonians
as class are more prone than the
residents Of any other similar city of
which we know to do their buying of
groceries, clothing, furniture and miscel-
laneous provisions in New York or
Philadelphia, leaving the home dealers
dependent very largely upon the trade
which cannot afford carfare to the lar
ger cities.
1t is possible that this habit of for
eign buying was contracted when
Scranton was small village, with
limited shopping facilities. and has sur
vived, as habits often do. beyond the
period Of it's justification. In any event,
it is a bad custom, which cannot be
too soon abandoned. There is to-
day no article in the list of
human necessities which cannot be
bought or contracted for in Scranton
at a moderate price. In many cases,
the article, from raw material to finish
ed product, can be made here, and when
the local buyer can encourage home
industry by giving to its product the
preference and neglects to do so. he
commits an offence very little different
in moral turpitude from that of the
man who during war; betrays his city
into the hands of the enemy.
Even when the home article costs a
trifie more than the foreign-made ar
ticle, it is wisdom to prefer it. The
homemade article means money in
home circulation. That means profits
in all lines of home business. 1t means
more for a homemade product than
for fOreign-made product will as
direct result of that far-sighted policy
soon have more money with which to
do the paying. If a high price means
a high wage. busy mill. and a pros
porous community. 1t is not necessar-
lily dear price. The cheapest price
may be the dearest If 1t takes money
out of circulation where it will benefit
our friends and neighbors and sends it
away off to some disease breeding
sweat shop in a big city.
We suspect that much of this foreign
hiring and buying originates in sheer
We do not, for in
stance, believe that any Scfartonian
seriously imagines a good carriage or
bicycle or stove or undershirt cannot
be made in this city. The reason why

"The people in their majesty, ignor-
ing party lines, have declared their de-
testation of Reputation and iishonor

same mighty power, affirmed their de-
votion to law and order and their un-
deviating respect for justice and the
courts. They have maintained their
unfaltering determination to support
and uphold the constituted authorities
Of the country, and have thereby given
new vigor and strength to our free in
stitutions. They have. indeed, again
consecrated themselves to country and
baptised the cherished ordinances of
free government with the new and
holy patriotism.

ton, but of and for the whole Ameri-
can people. Not the least of the tri-
urnphs Of the election is the oblitera-
ton of sectional lines in the Republic.
that we are q reunited people in pur-
pose as in name. We have manifested
in the great cause the spirit of frater-
nifty and brotherhood that should al-
ways characterize our common and

conclusively that in country of equal

insidious doctrine of hate, or of class
or sectional distinctions, cannot pre-
vail.

devote ourselves to the upbulding of

An Unexampled Chance.

The demeanor of Major Mckinley
been all that his admirers could wish.
If it was calm and kindly and be-
nigrant during the turmoil of the cam
paign, it is quiet dignity and resolute
common sense personified at this mo-
ment; and 1t is safe to say that public
appreciation Of it is increasing at
more uniform rate than has been true
of any president -elect within the me-
mory of the present generation.
The testimony of those who have
kept watch upon Major McKinley's
movements since the st. Louis nomi-
naton-especially the newspaper cor
respondents at Canton, who are not
as rule -worshippers and who do
not find it difficult to differentiate true
greatness of character from theatric
pose and pretence-is unvarying to the
effect that he is today as truly cour-
teous, even-tempered and unaffected
as he was before the mantle of leader
ship or the honor of triumphal election
was placed upon him. Visitors to Can
ton, including many celebrated Europ-
cans, go away surprised at his self
contained simplicity and entire alb
sence Of vanity or conceit; and the one
little circumstance of his declining to
depart from Canton for any formal oc-
casiOn until his journey to be inaug.
urated puts this phase of his we'll
balanced character into happy relief.
Here. we may be sure, is no mere
popinjay eager for the strut and no
iceberg chilled in his own self-right-
eousness. Here is simple and kindly
man, so strong in the graces of his
ripened manhood as to need no snowy
appendages, and no incidental pomp
and SO well pleased with his fellow
men as not to insult them with whole
sale suspicion.
Every circumstance connected with
the candidacy and the election of Will
liam Mckinley tends to the reassur-
ance of his countrymen and makes for
re-established confidence. His induc-
tion into office will be accompanied by
larger support from press and people
than has been enjoyed by any presi-
dent in modern times. With unbond-
ed authority and complete responsibili-
ty in every branch of the federal gov
ernment, the Republican party on and
after March 4 next will he in posi-
tion better than ever before to prove
its title to the suffrage of the people.
With discreet use of this unprecedented
chance it may be reserved for Presi-
dent Mckinley to lay the foundations
of thirty or forty years of unbroken
Republican administration. The op-
portunity is inspiring and we believe
that 1t will be met.

1t would be manifestly absurd to ex-
pect the election of Mckinley
to exert the effect of magic
upon the business community
Outside of story books and quack ad-
vertisements miracles no longer are
wrought in this prosaic, work-a day
world. But it cannot have escaped in
telligent observation that since Tues

has been a very noticeable increase in
confidence and hopefulness, and 1t has
shown itself in signs which clearly
point to a speedy coming of bettered
business conditions.

before this improved tone can work
itself out in individual manifesto tions.

The First Step.

Asked on Saturday as to the hrst
step in the Republican programme at
ter March 4, Senator Sherman said:
IAN extra session of the Fifty-hfsh
congress will be convened by President
Mckinley shortly after his Inaugural
tion, and the revenue question will be
taken up and legislation passed that
will provide ample receipts for the
needs of the government, and give
reasonable protection to American in
dustry." In elaboration Of this pro-
phecy he predicted a thorough revision
Of the Wilson bill. not necessarily with
a view to generally higher duties but
mainly to correct gross Inequalities
and blunders, and especially to sub
stitute specific for ad valorem duties.
He also intimated the probability of
restoration of the reciprocity feature
which the Wilson bill very injudicious-
ly abandoned.
To this programme we do not see how
there can be any fair objection. 1t
will not disturb business, for the SIM
pie reason that any changes which
would be made under Republican aus
pices would necessarily he in the di-
rection of more systematic ard equit-
able protection to American interests.
No legitimate interest, therefore, need
fear punitive or retaliatory action, such
as was taken in more than one sche-
dule of the Wilson bill. No American
business man in the enjoyment of hon
est advantages need expect to suffer
loss from the proposed readjustment;
IL anything, the reasonable eXpecta-
tion would point to additional security.
Consequently there will be none of the
dread in connection with this revision
which made so disastrous the work of
the Fifty-third congress when it for
mulated the present tariff law: and the
smooth tenor of commercial enterprise
would be maintained unbrOken.
The common sense of the country has
plainly called for an adjustment of the
federal revenues to fit the nations eX-
penses. This has been promised by the
Republican party and that party may
be relied upon at the earliest possible
moment to redeem it's pledge.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-11-09

in due season we shall see it's personal
effects. In the meantime. each citizen
can do his share toward fastening the
anticipated recovery. The boarded saw
ings no longer need fear investment.
The idle fund can now in confidence
seek borrowers. Suspended enterprises
can resume the fulfilment of deferred
plans. The timid small debtor cannot
longer justify his refusal to pay his
just debts. The freeing of money to do
It's accustomed work is doubly neces-
sary in view of past stringency, and in
sight Of inevitable coming prosperity.
There is gross inconsistency in the con-
duct of the business man who after
voting for sound money fails to obey
the logic Of that vote by exhibiting the
confidence and the honesty which were
the vaunted purposes of his ballot.
The bane of business during the past
few months of agitation and dread has
been poor collections. No branch of
man. therefore, who owes a bill and
pays it Is public benefactor. Let the
bill be big or small, the sooner II is
paid the sooner can it's creditor in turn
discharge his obligations and thus set
the currents of long locked-uD money
in invigorating circulation. To pay
these incurred debts is an obligation
not alone to the immediate creditor, 1t
is a debt owed to the whole community.
The man who fights to save his coun-
try's flag in time of martial peril is not
more of a hero than Is the man who,
by doing his best to pay his debts,
makes possible the prosperity and the
progress of his country in the quieter
times Of peace.

Farewell, a long farewell to all my great
ness!
This is my state of mind early put forth
The tender leave of hope; In July, BIOS

And have flung my flowers of oratory
thick about me;
But Tuesday came frost, a killing frost,
And when 1 thought, poor foolish man,
full surely
Free coinage was a-cOming, nipped my
And then I fell, confound it. 1 have pad
died
Like little naked boys that swim on blad-
ders,
For many weeks about sea of glory.
But far beyond my depth; my h!gh-blown
pride
At length broke under me, and now mas
left me
Weary and hoarse with speaking to the
mercy
OF the rude mob that will for long deride
me;
That too large place I'd fain have rat
tied round in,
And that I tried and couldn't. Oh. how
wretched
Is that Door man that strives for an
election,

And simple nomination, more windwork
And more cash blown In than the whole

And when l fell l fell like thunder!

His vanity imagined them mark of men,

He championed Free Silver, and the cause

But, oh! bitter disappointment, one day
he up and died.
He refused TO go to Heaven. II the plain
truth must be told,
Twas because he heard it stated that the
streets were paved with Gold.

So he's shouting now ''16 to T. to a march
