The official statement of the
Farmers Bank will be found else
where in today's VOICE. 1t makes a
splendid showing for this Institution.
In conversation with Bank Commits
eioner Briedenthal recently he told
the writer that the Farmers Bank Of
Wellington was one of the gilt edge
institutions OF the State-one of the
very soundest and best under his
supervision. 1t is no more than
simple justice that such high COM
pliment to one of our institutions be
passed to the people.

on account of his success, but appar-

not. When a man is successful in
robbing his fellowmen on a large
scale he is made a hero and great
journals like the Times Herald fawn
at his feet. The article proceeds:

HOBART ON SOUND MONEY.
From His Speech of Acceptance.

Uncertainty or instability as to the
money question involves most serious con-
sequences to every interest and to every
citizen of the country. The gravity OF this
question cannot be overestimated. There
can be no financial prosperity where the
policy OF the government as to that Ques-
ton is at all matter Of doubt. Gold Is
the one standard OF value among all en-.
lightened commercial nations. All finan-
cial transactions Of whatever character,
all business enterprises, all individual or
corporate investments are adjusted to it.
An honest dollar, worth 100 cents every
where, cannot be coined out Of GO cents
worth of silver, plus a legislative fiat.
Such a debasement of our currency
would inevitably produce incalculable loss,
appalling disaster and national dishonor.
1t is a fundamental principle In coinage
recognized and followed by all the states
men OF America in the past and never yet
safely departed from, that there can be
only one basis upon which gold and silver
may be concurrently coined as money.
and that basis is equality. not in weight
but In the commercial value Of the metal
contained in the respective coins. This
commercial value is fixed by the markets
of the world, with which the great inter-
ests of our country are necessarily con-
nected by innumerable business ties,
"
Great and self-reliant as our country is
1t is great not alone within it's own bor-
ders and upon its own resources, but be-
cause it also reaches out to the ends of
the earth in all the manifold departments
Of business, exchange and commerce, end
INST maintain with honor its standing
and credit among the nations of the earth
The question admits of no compro-
mise. 1t Is a vital principle at stake, but
10 In ~ t.
concerns all the people. Ours, as one Of
the foremost nations, must have a mon-
etary standard equal to the best. 1t is Of
vital consequence that this question
should be settled now in such way as
to restore public confidence. here and ev-
erywhere, in the integrity of our purpose
A doubt Of that integrity among the
other great commercial countries Of the
world will not only cost us millions Of
money. but that which, as patriots. we
should treasure still more highly-our
industrial and commercial supremacy.

FINANCIAL DEFINITIONS.

In response to many inquiries as to the
meaning Of expressions commonly used in
the discussion of issues involved in this
campaign. the New York Press has pre-
pared the following brief table of terms
and equivalents:
FREE COINAGE.
The melting and stamping into
money. without charge for the SER
vice. of all silver bullion brought TO
the mlnts.
SIXTEEN TO ONE.
The ratio sought to be maintained
by law, according to which sixteen
ounces of silver shall equal In value
one ounce OF gold.
COMMERCIAL RATIO.
The ratio OF actual value, the rate
at which gold and silver can be ex-
changed. 1t is now thirty.one
ounces Of silver to one OF gold.
SOUND MONEY.
A currency OF which every dollar
is exchangeable at par with the
standard dollar OF the country-in
this country gold dollar.
THE GOLD STANDARD.
The measure Of value adopted by
the leading nations of the world
as basis for their currency-the
coin (gold) In which all obligations
are finally redeemable.
A F1FTY.CENT DOLLAR.
One which, owing to the deprecia-
ton OF silver is intrinsically worth
only this amount, and maintains Its
face value only by reason of the
governments pledge to keep 1t at
parity with gold.

State Supervision of Mining.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has appar-
emily ceased to pretend to be an honest
paper In its treatment Of subjects per-
taining to Lackawanna county. 1t sys-
tematically and as we believe wilfully
distorts them. perhaps for personal
reasons that need not now be recited.
This does not hurt anybody save the
Inquirer itself. but sometimes 1t Is mo-
mentarily annoying.
A recent instance In point is its reply
to The Tribune's comment upon the
,Pittston mine accident. Instead OF re-
producing the argument We offered
against the proposed establishment OF
a state department of mining, with It's
costly addition Of superl1uous parts to
the present mechanism Of mine inspec-
ton, it printed instead letter from
Senator Coyle expressing qualification
at the Inquirer's editorial Endorsement
of his hobby, as il the gentleman from
the Thirtieth would ever object to
newspaper taffy! And thus. having
turned the subject, 1t proceeded to wax
irrelevantly eloquent.
For the Inquirer's benefit we Will say
that the mine-owners Of Northeastern
Pennsylvania are as cordially In raw
or of competent and searching mine In
spectlon as any other class OF men In
the commonwealth. 1t saves them both
time and money and offers a good
chance to transfer responsibility In case
of accidents. No reputable mine-owner
wants to take risks that put in jeopardy
the lives of his employees. because.
wholly apart from moral considera-
tions, the same conditions which jeap-
ord life simultaneously jeapord prop
erty. The best-paying mine, other
things being equal. IL the mine in which
human labor is well protected
against casualty and consequently
free to work without interruption. The
only objection raised by mine-owners
to a state department Of mining is that
It would multiply offices and Increase
taxation without corresponding return
in bettered public service. In making
that objection they speak less as mine
owners than as citizens and tax payers.
The duty of the state Is to govern
without needless offices and needless
costs. The state cannot hope to SUI
pervise every kind of business activ-
ity within it's borders. 1t must leave
something to the judgment and COM
mon sense of its Individual citizens.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-07-09
Tie Legal Profession.

That is severe arraignment of the
legal profession which Colonel Mcclure
makes in the Philadelphia Times edi-
torial upon this weeks meeting of the
Pennsylvania Bar association at Bed.
ford Springs. But II it be unfair, its
author, himself a lawyer, must be held
to account, We reproduce it here only
because it serves US as a convenient
text:
I'm the chief centers of population In
Pennsylvania" Col. Mcclure observes,
"the successful lawyer. measured
by the amount of compensation COM
manded for his efforts, is no longer a
member of the profession to whom the
public, the profession or the courts turn
for elucidation Of the law. On the con-
trary. the men who command the larg-
est incomes from the practice Of law in
most OF the cities Of the state are the
men who violate every principle of legal
ethics, and whose daily lives are a con-
stant degradation of every attribute Of
dignity and decency Of the profession.
They do not need to be learned in the
law, but they must be learned in the
art Of intimidating and perverting evil
dence, in procuring testimony by meth
eds which dishonor the courts, and in
controlling jurors by systematized ef-
forts. which should often land both coun-
sci and jury in prison cells. It Is this
class of the legal profession that is today
commanding the largest fees received
in Pennsylvania by the deliberate, per-
sistent and lawless prostitution of all
the safeguards which are presumed to
surround the temple of Justice"
The same statements may with equal
pertinency be applied to medicine. the
pulpit and the press The quack doctor,
the mountebank preacher and the bug
zard journalist each win the big money
prizes in their special fields of COM

say that the takers are the most re-
spected men in the community On the
contrary. 1t may be well doubted II the

The Democracy and Silver.

We do not share the opinion of those
who regret that the Democratic conven-
tion has decided to declare outspokenly
for the free, unlimited and independent
coinage of silver. To our mind this
decision is to be commended for its
frankness and courage. 1t represents
the belief of manifestly large ma
jority of the Democratic party, as de-
clared through party primaries and
conventions, and it promises to bring to
a decisive settlement in one national
campaign an issue which might other
wise have stood for years as a menace
to business confidence and stability.
Although friendly to bimetallsm and
confident of its ultimate triumph
among the principal nations. The Tr-
bune nevertheless believes that the
Democratic party, true to its history, Is
again committing a great mistake. 1t
it once more attempting the impossible,
and that not in a spirit of soberness
beftting so serious Il matter. but in
mere mood of passion. petulance and
pique. 1t is angered at it's president;
IT is incensed at the dire effects of its
free trade experiment; and it is taking
the unmanly method of exhibiting its
feelings by rash attempt to smash
the existing order of things. Such pro-
cedure as is now on view at Chicago Is
not craftsmanship: It Is not wise and
Intelligent deliberation to a definite and
clearly defined end 1t is simply mid
summer madness. unballasted by
rhyme or reason. craftsmanship Is
cool, rational, constructive. Statesman
ship weighs facts and gauges condi-
tions. Craftsmanship does not brush
aside with contemptuous impatience the
cumulous warnings of conservative
business men and rush like a cyclone
to a career of destructiveness and
chaos. Such precipitancy is not states
manship but sheer, wild folly. 1t Is
insanity which our Democratic friends
have mistaken for inspiration.
But, while mistaken, Democracy is
brave, and for that IL for no other quail
ity It is deserving Of commendation. In
giving definite and defiant voice to the
communistic discomfort Of the day, it
has afforded to thoughtful citizenship
an unusual opportunity and incentive
to sink minor differences and get to-
gether. 1t has broken the pillars be-
meath American socialism, and social
ism as a dangerous political growth
will perish with it in the ruins. If un-
restricted silver coinage were possible
and desirable by this country alone, the
Democratic party is showing by its
present methods that 1t would not be a
safe party to entrust with the task of
putting free coinage into effect. But
the fact is clear that unrestricted inde-
pendent coinage is not possible without
consequences disastrous beyond calcu-

extra money which they gain by dis
honorable methods is anywhere near an
adequate compensation for the losses
which they sustain in character and
reputation among thoughtful men.
Nevertheless, the statements Of Col
onel Mcclure. If true, call for earnest
consideration. The public itself is
fully capable Of deciding as to their
accuracy.
