ulators with whom they are con-
nected. On the top Of all this, a
tariff bill is proposed which will tax
the people to buy up greenbacks and
treasury notes and take them out of
circulation, with the view of fur
ther contracting the currency down
to the basis proposed BY the secre-
tary of the treasury.
This is the way the Republicans
redeems their pledges. We can
not compete with the volumes of
falsehoods which the gold press are
circulating as to the evidence Of
coming prosperity, but we call upon
each individual, whether he be a
merchant, local banker, trader, man
ufacturer, farmer or mechanic, to
say whether the whether the wave
Of prosperity has reached him. If
no man can be found who has expe-
rienced the sensation of general
prosperity in the country, why
should a hireling press pretend that
such a state of things existss
We are thankful that the people
are watching the party in power,
and are beginning to see that it OBJ
tanned Office through false pretenses,
and that it has no sympathy with
the mass of the people, but that its
only purpose is to cooperate with
and increase the power of concen-

The squeal from Wanamaker Is

furnishing more money, their fin

their bodies will roll over into the

Wanamaker's Wall.

John Wanamaker, Harrison's P.
M. G., is one OF the most extensive
business men in the country. The
wave of prosperity has hit him, but
not in front. The vast stores of
goods which he has on hand, the
want of purchasers and the inability
of purchasers to pay, with no pros
pect of a change in the future, have
made this merchant prince realize
that there is suffering in the coun-
try. He did not believe it. He
thought it was the other fellows
feet on fire which produced the bad
smell until he become scorched
above the knees, and then he COM
menced to raise the alarm. The
following is specimen of his vail
ings before the Business Mems club
of Philadelphia recently;
The tide will soon set In strongly against
the Republican party unless the depres.
sisn Of business is altered. Idleness and
want breed bitter discomfort which
will never be overcome until there are
ample employments:
The foes which America has to fear
are not the sullen, savage Turks, nor the
insurrectionists Of Cuba, nor the territory
grasping Brstish, but they are our own
patient and heart.tired people. our own
suffering much.promiscd people, who.
betrayed and disheartened. no longer
have faith in their party, aud will turn
to any leadership that offers promise of
better times. believing that worse times
can never come than those now existing.
This language would never have
been used by Prince John If his
withers had been unwrung. No
man in America can endure the boil
on the other fellows nose with
more complaccncy than benevolent
Wanamaker; but the universal
squeeze that reduces the price of
every yard Of goods and every
pound of merchandise every kind a
little each day, after it has destroyed
the small men,, snaws at the vitals
Of the big ones.
Why Mr.. Wanamaker Should
ever have been in favor Of destroy.
ing the capacity Of his customers to
buy and pay for his goods, is mar
vclous. Why lie should ever have
believed that the only good money
was money which would increase
in valuc by reason of its scarcity,
and make everything he had shrink
in price, seems passing strange. But
there is a vein Of fetch worship
among merchant princes Of any
commodity which everybody wants
and few can get on account Of its
scarcity. They buy such things
with the view Of selling them at n
higher price, but when they under
take to buy money on speculation
and go In debt for that purpose they
find that the debt not only cats up

The Promised Prosperity.

The Promised Prosperity.
Two things are true-one that
the Republican party promised
prosperity upon the election of Mr..
Mckinley, the other, that the prom
ised prosperity has not come. On
the contrary, bankruptcies increase,
and poverty and want continue to
enlarge the number Of their victims.
Hence it is that the Republican par
ty either knew they had no policy
in store for the country which would
bring the prosperity they promised,
OF that the Republican party did
not know the policy it proposed
would not produce prosperity. In
the one case they told what the vul-
gar would call liesj in the other case
they are too ignorant to govern the
country, and they obtained office
under false preteiises. We are of
that uncharitable number who be-
lieve that the present administra-
ton knew there was not word of
truth in their promises, and that
they made the promises purely and
simply to capture votes. In other
words, they committed the same
character of offense which the con-
fidence man commits when he skins
a sucker.
Two-thirds of the American vote
at least was in favor of Bryan and
against Mckinley. McKinley's ma
jorities were drawn from the colored
vote which still supposed that he is
voting for the party of liberty when
it votes for the slave-niasters of the
gold ring; from the foreign vote
which since the public lands were
exhausted has congregated in the
cities and learned nothing of free in
stitutions in this country, and from
those who are weak, and dependent
upon manufacturers and corpora
tions for employment. These ele-
nents enabled the Republican par
ty tc seize power. Instead of grant
ing the country prosperity as was
promised, every move thus far of the
Republican party has been to fur
ther reduce the masses to helpless
dependence, to the end that concen-
trated capital may rulc the country,
and manhood suffrage be suppressed
or abolished.
There is nothing more manifest
than that the continuous contrac-
tion of the money volume is the
cause of the suffering Of the people.
Where the purchasing power of
money increases and the price Of
wages and property decline, concen-
trated capital will grow more pow
erful, and individual manhood of
less consequence. Mr.. Mckinley
has SO far indicated his policy by
placing at the head of the state de-
partment the leader Of the conspira.
cy which has deprived the world of
the use of silver as money ahd dou.
bled the purchasing power Of gold.
He has also placed at the head of
the treasury department a man not
cd as contractionist, who was
known to be in fnvor Of the retire.
mcnt of all kinds Of money except
ing gold. What he would do after
that, is not fully explaincd;. but it
is understood that he would allow
the people to have no money but
gold, except such as the govern
lnent would isstic and give to the
banks without any consideration
whatever, and in that case lie would
authorize the banks to loan the
same and charge any rate Of inter
est they might desire. He would
also empower the hanks to contract
gnd expand the currency as would

DELLA and MABEL
EScapade Of Two Pawtucket
Young Girls.
They Had Been Missing From
Home Since Last Wednesday.
Return to the City Very Repentant and Want
to Be Taken Back.

George Snow of 321 North Main street
reported at the police station last evening
that bis two daughter, Della, aged 20, and
Mabel, aged II, had been missing from
home since Wednesday. This morning
the overseer OF the milling department OF
the Lyons Delany Company, who is an old
friend OF the family, reported at the sta
ton that Mabel had come to him In the
milling department this morning and
asked him TO act as peacemaker between
her and her folks, as she wished to return
home.
Officer Tompkins was dispatched TO the
place and brought the girl to the station
and her mother was sent for. The girl was
very repentant and said that her sister,
Della, who to said to / , little fiighty, had
induced her to leave home. She said that
they had been at Crescent Park since leav-
ing home, and that friend of theirs, who is
an engineer on the flying horses, had been
paying their board.
She said she could not get work in Crcs-
cent Park, so she had returned this morn
ing, but her sitter would not return with
her. She was allowed to 60 to her home
with her mother upon promising to run
away no more. 6ergt. Gardner went to
Crescent Park aud brought Della back
with him.

LARGE LNPORTAT TONS IN VIEW OF

Of Reveass Throsgh Tie SpecuIatisn.

Boston, July 13.-Neuer In the history
Of the Boston custom houSe has tho i'm
portation Of raw wool been SO great as
during the last few months. Wool
enough to supply all demapds OF trade
for years ahead Is being imported and
stored away In anticipation OF the opera
ton of the new tarif bill. TIE govern
ment Is losing millions OF dollars OF
revenue and the wool spectators are
accommodating such vast quantities tha.
the more conservative OF them gre be-
ginning to lose heart and fear that in
the eagerness to make a big strike"
when the price Of wool jumps, TIE mar
ket is being overstocked so hea, ,Sly that
the upward tendency in prices will be
partially checked, and much of the wool
on hand became dead load. The move
ment has also extended to hides, but Ii
has not been so marked ns in wool. for
the simple reason that IL is Impossible
to obtain any great number OF hides over
the normal output.
