The Issue in Brief.

After all, the real point in this free
silver discussion is very simple.
Do the men and women of Scran-
ton who have worked hard to put
savings in the banks or in the build
ing and loan associations want those
savings returned to them in 5O-cent
dollars having only half the buying
power of the dollar put in?
Do the men and women who have
paid 1OO-cent dollar premiums on
life insurance policies for the pro-
lection of their loved ones in case OF
death want the face value of those
policies to be paid over in 5O-cent
dollars worth in buying power only
half the amount of the insurance?
DO the men and women who work
for wages want those wages paid,
when earned. in inferior dollars, the
coinage of which. they tell us, will at
once make dear the prices of the
things we have to buy?
If they do, the men should vote and
the women use their influence for Bryan.
otherwise, they should be for Mckinley,
Protection and Sound Money.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-08-12
Coming to Their Senses.

We consider the address of the Utah
Republican executive committee, which
appears on our second page, one of the
most significant public deliverances of
the present campaign. In initiating the
recent action of the Republican exec
utive committee of Colorado in indors-
Ing Mckinley. the Republicans OF Utah
simply give evidence of the triumph
OF sober reason and common sense ov r
hobby-rlding.
In brief, this address. while yielding
nothing of its fondness for free COIN
age. calls attention to the fact that
even II free coinage were to be estab-
lished in company with free trade, as
the Democrats propose. it would bring
no relief to the honest workingman
and therefore fail in It's chief purpose
Furthermore, the address points ont
that nothing in the past record of the
Democratic party gives silver Repub-
licans the right to expect that that
party would have either the good faith
or the requisite legislative ability TO
redeem it's present free coinage pledge
II continued in power Lastly, since the
Republicans of Utah are in complete
sympathy with every plank of the Re-
publican national platform save only
the money plank. and are just as COM
pletely out of sympathy with every
plank in the Democratic national plat
FORM save the free coinage plank, the
address urges them to trust in Repup-
lican intelligence and fairness to find
eventually an acceptable solution of
the silver problem, and advises them
In the meantime to support Mckinley
electors
1t Is unfortunate that this spirit of
reasonable acquiesence in the will of
the majority did not find earlier mar
hesitation among the leading RepublI-
cans Of the silver-mining states. Had
1t done SO; had there been no attempt
ot " "oshiiStou ny tHe senators from
those states to hold up needed revenue
legislation out of pique because the
majority would not swallow it's sound
money convictions, and, finally, had
the attitude of the national delegates
from those states been less dictatorial
and defiant at st. Louis, it is our opin-
ion that the Republican national plat
form would to-day hold out to the
silver element some prospect Of reco..-
milton anterior to the consummation
Of an International bimetallic agree-
ment
That, however, is now past and gone;
the issue has been drawn too faulty
for present compromise, and the ques-
tion before all Republicans friendly to
silver is whether they can afford to
permit that one cause of bias to lead
them off into strange camp. which
not only stands for an uncertain and
untrustwor promise of free silver,
but also for free trade, the degradation
Of the supreme court into tribunal
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-08-12

and no question has ever been settled
until 1t has been settled upon the
basis of what is right. Thomas Jeffer-
son never said a truer thing than when
he said that the art of government Is
the art Of being honest" The people
Of the United States will strive to re-
member Jefferson's remark when they
come to vote on the proposition to
coin 53-cent dollars.
Bryan argues that free silver would
double money and prices, yet not in
crease taxation. But If it doubles
prices. wouldn't he and the other poll
ticians want double Pay?
The reputable physicians Of Michigan
have banded together for legislative
war upon the omnipresent quacK.
Quackery is a good thing to suppress
in all walks of life.
Denial is made that Bryan is in the
pay of the silver ring. He certainly
isn't hired by gold men, and his in
come must have some source.
Since free silver means a doubled
cost Of living, why don't the Bryanites
explain how it can be made to give
the workingman doubled income?

A GOOD, CLEAN TICKET.
From the Green Ridge Item.

From the Green Ridge Item.
The Republican ticket is a good clean
ticket and will receive the hearty support
of ell the Republicans in the county. 1t
is only a question of the size Of the ma
jority. This Is no time for kicking as the
country needs the votes of every citizen
who believes In upholdng the national
honor and the prosperity of the working
man; free trade fooled the masses four
years ago, but free trade and free silver
coupled with Altged, Tillman and am
archy will not go down this year. Pro-
tecticn, Prosperity and Progress will be
the Republican campaign slogan and with
that able statesman, William Mckinley,
at the head of our ticket, victory will be
assured.

Bryan q Rabid Free Trader.

Weaver's congressional district In Iowa
in 1894 William Jennings Bryan, the
present apostle of free silver, made
this remarkable declarations:

UNTIL. THE LAST NESTIGE OF PRO-
TECTION is ERADICATED FROM

the past three years, have had practical
experience with a partial "eradication
of Protection" Were the results such
as to cause them to vote for the compile
ton of the job?

The Times Washington correspondent

The Times Washington correspondent
speaks. on the sixth page of yesterdays
issue, of the improbability of the elec-
tion of Bryan, and says that even if
Bryan should win, there would be
enough sound money members of the
senate ito stand like stone wall
against the onslaught of the dozen rep
resentatives of the silver producing
inter-mountain states who are deter
mined that this country shall adopt
financial policy which will cut us off
from equal commercial relations with
Europe and place us instead upon a
plane with Mexico and the Central
American republics" Evidently the
Times Washington correspondent does
not read the Times editorial page.
