ton on the globe and resulted in
disastrous failure every time, vote
with the benighted party that advo-
Gates these exploded theories. If
you believe in the shutting down of
many, and the serious crippling of
most of our manufacturing indus
tries and throwing hundreds of
thousands of laborerS out of employ
ment and instituting an army of
tramps, vote for the party of free
trade, If you believe in the Amer
lean laborer being compelled to
work for starvation wages and deny
his family all the advantages of civ
ilization except crust of bread,
vote for the party that advocates
the theory of free trade which surely
leads to this condition, If you be-
lieve in paying higher price for
what you have to buy and reciev-
ing a less price for what you have
to sell, vote for free trade.
If you believe in maintaining the
credit and integrity of our coun-
try at home and abroad, vote with
the party that advocates the fnan-
cial system that is acknowledged to
be the best and the only true system
by the best minds the world over.
If you wish to maintain gold in our
national treasury and in circulation
and to avoid financial panics and
expressions, vote with the party |
that would vouchsafe to you a
sound and unAuctuating currency.
If you want your days labor to
bring you the greatest possible re-
turns, vote for sound money. If
you want the labor of the country
employed and our factories run to
full capacity and new industries
built up, vote with the party |
that believes in protection to Amer
lean industries. If you want the
laboring man to receive just COM
pensation for his toll and be enabl-
ed to live like civilized beings should
and to give his family some of the
benefits of the civilization with
which he is surrounded, vote for
the party of protection. If you
want to MAINTAIN the balance of
trade in our favor and see our coun-
try grow mole wealthy and prosper
Gus year by year, vote for the only
party that has the intelligence, the
experience and the nerve to enact
and enforce laws for the protection
of American industry. If you want
to vote with the party that has
done much more for the common
people of the country than all other
parties combined, that has always
enacted wise and economic laws and
enforced them, if you want to vote
with the party that has ever been
loyal to its country, that has always
been found ready with a remedy
when democratic incompetency has
plunged us into bankruptcy and
starvation and that had the courage
when treason assailed us to grapple
with the monster and throttle it,
vote the republican ticket.
Vote with the party that advo-
Gates sound money, protection, eX-
pansion, support of our factories,
the employment of labor, the main
tainance of wages and increased
prices on farm products. Re
publican principles have always
ment these things and have always
proved their wisdom in the practi
cal application.
Study these matters carefully and
vote for the theory that suits you
best.

HOW WILL | VOTE?

z S the time for election ap-
~ proaches, the above is
4 \ very pertinent question for
each intelligent voter to ask himself.
We take it for granted that the av-
erage voter is honest and patriotic
and wants to vote for that which
will be for his best interests. for
the interests of his neighbors and
the good of his country. That be-
ing the case, a careful study of the
meaning of vote this fall is not
only proper but is obligatory upon
every voter who honestly wishes to
further the best interests of his
country and his fellow citizens.
1t seems to be retrograding to
spend time going back two years
to discuss the old free silver issues
that are dead and were buried two
years ago by an overwhelming vote
of the people, but he pops will have
it SO and republicans are always
ready to meet them on any ground
that they may choose. Why the
populists want to spend their time
discussing free silver when they care
nothing for silver any more than
the republicans do, has always
seemed to US rather peculiar. They
are fiat money party and believe
in fiat money and that alone. The
facts are the populist party has
been bamphoosled and switched
around SO by its demagogic leaders
preparatory to dumping it into the
democratic ranks, that the rank and
file of the party hardly know what
they do believe Indeed there
don't seem to be much left of the
party but the Office seekers and
chronic kicker who deems it his
duty to kick. kick, kick at all times
and places in season and out
The arguments are all with the
republicans and their theories of
finance and protection have proven
themselves to be correct and are
working wonderful changes in the
conditions of the country. All can
realize it, yet some deny it even in
the face of the indisputable facts.
The political questions have
simply come right down to these:
Sound money, protection, expan-
sion and prosperity or fiat money,
free trade and destruction of our
industries. Which side are you on1
In a short time you will be called
upon to vote for one or the other.
Consider well what your vote means.
Don't be carried away by old preju-
dices or jealousies. If you vote,
you vote for one or the other theory.
If you are in favor of driving all the
gold out of circulation and forcing
US to do business with a debased
currency, vote for free silver or fiat
money. If you are laboring man
and want to cut the purchasing
power of your wages into in the
middle. vote for free silver. Ifyou
want to stop the avalanch of gold
that is flowing into this country,
vote for free silver or the party
that advocates it. If you want to 60
back thousand years and vote for
a system of currency that has been
tried By almost every civaiized ma

tashoda Question to be Set
tied Favorable to England.

Paris Oct. S1.--The Eclair today says
1t learns on reliable authority that the
Fashoda question viii be settled favor
ably to Great Britain by the recall of
Major Marchand. France, the paper
adds, yields all, reserving only the
question of the right to the Bahr-el-
Ghazal district, which she does not
consider as belonging to Egypt Contin-
uing, the Eclair says: IN. Delcasee,
however, has now decided to raise the
whole Egyptian question, which should
have been done from the first, and thus
avoid humiliation of yielding to the
British ultimatum. When the question
is thus enlarged France will not be
alone in it's discussion with the Marquis
of Salisbury. Egypt interests all the
powers. Russia has promised M. Del
casse it's most effective assistance, and,
besides, Germany has the biggest in
terests, in view of her East African
possessions and trade in the far east,
that the Suez canal should not become
exclusively British and is disposed to
support France Russian arguments for
definite settlement of the Egyptian
question"

journment was then taken to that
day.
After the conference dissolved, the
Spanish commissioners expressed the
opinion that the American demands
would create in Spain. as they had
upon her commissioners, an exceedingly
grave impression.
Were the Spanish commissioners
pushed to final determination tonight,
they would reject the American de-
mands, but the changing tone of the
Spanish press recently urges the con-
summation of a treaty of peace, how
ever rigorous, the argument being that
although the Spaniards bow to the
American demands, the commissioners
do not acknowledge the justice or ad-
NIT the legality of them.
Tonight the Spanish commissioners
feel that the United States. to all in
tents and purposes, have not offered
any financial inducement TO Spain to
cede by treaty any part OF the Philip
pines. Had the American commission
ers even offered to take over the entire
Philippine debt Of $4,000, 900, the Span
iards affect to feel that it would have
been as nothing; and they regard to-
days propositions as so meagre as not
to warrant even schedule Of Spains

COL. WARlNG.
The Testimony of the Citizens State Par
" Of New YORK.

ly OF view tofk
New York. Oct. 21.-At a meeting
of the citizens state party today. a
statement was adopted which pays a
high tribute to the late Col. Waring.
who was the partys candidate for state
engineer and surveyor. The statement
says:
Thousands owe to him betterment
of the condition of agriculture; many
more thousands owe to him unhoped-
for progress in the sanitary conditions
of their homes; millionst owe to him
the most admirable lesson in self-goy~
ernment which recent times have fur
nished. in the ease with which his
firmness and determined win liberated
from the thraldom of unclean politics
and vast and important functions of
a great municipal office; quite as many
owe him a lasting debt Of gratitude
for the candidacy in which death sur
prised him and which was another ef-
fort toward the right. To such man
it was fitting that death should come
in the discharge of a self-imposed and
perilous duty. More heroic than his
repeated exposures upon fields of bat
tie. was that quiet and transformations
tryst with the tropical plague. He kept
it, and himself sinking under the
dreadful scourge, perfected the plans
which will save coming generations
from its blight. How can we hope in
the short time left us by the law to
fill the place left vacant by this mod
ern knight? We prefer to leave upon
the ballot his honored and respected
name, hoping that as each citizen of
this imperial state performs his duty
at the polls, that it may serve him as
a lesson to do duty that without self
ishness and without fear"

WAR PREPARATIONS.
Order Received at Dover for Experimental
Mobilization of Forces.

London, Nov. 1.-Most of the papers
are full of alleged war preparations,
despite the undoubted fact that the
authorities are doing their best to dis
courage publication and are even de-
nying statements that have already
appeared
Yesterday (Monday) a sudden order
was received at Dover for an expert
mental mobilization OF the defense
forces. All the heights and forts were
smartly occupied, in manner giving
full satisfaction. The arsenal at Wool
wich is working until II o'clock every
night, the government having given
large orders for guns, searchlights and
other naval equipment. The British
channel squadron has cast anchor off
Gibraltar. The advices from Paris in
the special dispatches this morning add
little to what was already known re-
garding the situation at Fashoda 1t
is believed that Capt. Baratier is TAX
ing only verbal instructions for Mai.
Marchand. The idea prevails at the
French capital that Count Muravieff,
the Russian foreign minister, while
there on his recent visit, promised
Russian support in reopening the whole
Egyptian question, and that Maj. Mar
chand will be instructed to fall back
and maintain his occupation CT all
BahrEl Gael posts.

A BOLD CHARGE.
More Fuel Added to Penn
syLyania's Campaign.

Williamsport, Pa. Oct 31-More fuel
ia's furious campaign tonight, when Dr.
Silas c. Swallow, the "honest govern
ment' candidate for governor, boldly
charged the democratic state chairman,
John NJ Garman, had made PROPOSE
tion to United States Senator Quay to
"sell out" the state democracy. In sup
port of his accusation, DR.. Swallow
produced an affidavit sworn to by e.
c. Miller a travelling man of this city.
Miller swearS that on September Sth
last he met on a train, between Will
Transport and Philadelphia, Charles b.
Keck, a Wilkesbarre lawyer, who told
him he was on his way to see Quay
with a message from Garman, Keck,
being a republican, he explained his So
lection thus: '"Garman told me that
he had lots of men in the democratic
party, but none that he could trust
with mission of that kind. The pro-
position was that if certain legtslat tion
and fayors in certain counties are Civ
en- to Garman, he will insure those
counties for Stone, and he will offer
positive evidence that he can deliver
the goods
w. A. Stone is the Quay candidate
for governor. Miller alleges that they
went together to the republican state
commissioners headquarters, but Sen
ator Quay was in Atlantic City, and
Keck went there after him. When they
met in Philadelphia next day. Keck
told Miller the latter swears that he
had laid the proposition before the old
man and he thought well of it.g
He was then arranging meeting be-
tween Quay and Garman. DR.. Swallow
said that Mr. Miller's statement was
corroborated on many points by docu-
mentary evidence, and that Miller vol
unfairly related the story. The doctor
said he made it public at this time in
response to the recent denuneiation of
him by Chairman Garman in his de-
NAL of the charge made by DR.. Swal
low that the leaders of the democratic
party had sold out to the Quay ma

Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. S1.-Senator
Quay passed through here late tonight
on his way from Philadelphia to his
home in Beaver. Shown the charges
made by DR.. Swallow of a proposition
from democratic state chairman Gar

said: "The charges are absolutely nn-
true. I have never had an interview
with either Mr. Keck or Mr.. Garman"

in the recent war 1t was fortunate
for the country that SO many Ameri-
can millionaires had yachts which
coud be transferred to navy service
1t was fortunate that the government

fortunate if we had had an inexhaustl'

many times the number of ocean I'm

Perhaps the government agents
would not have had to hunt Europe
over SO anxiously in order to piece out

more satisfactorily at home. Certain
ly the valuable services rendered by
the auxiliary cruisers ought to be suffl-
cient to lead congress to take meas

for the government by securing the
establishment of more lines of ocean
steamers sailing under the American
flag and by building UP an extensive
