THE MAN FOR CONGRESS.
From the Scranton Truth.

From the Scranton Truth
The strongest arguments advanced in behalf Of
the reelection of President Mckinley apply with
equal force to the reelection Of those members
of congress who stood loyalty and unfinchingly
by him in those thrilling days which followed
the declaration Of war against Spain, when the
American people, Irrespective of party, resolved
OH putting end forever to the despotsm
which made Cuba the Niobc of Nations.
The complex problems growing out of that
exciting period not yet settled, and reason
and common sense suggest to impartial minds the
wisdom OF reelccting President Mckinley, so
that those questions shall be disposed OF in ac
cordance with the best interests OF the United
States To elect Mr.. Mckinley, however, is not
sufficient. He must, in order to be able to
carry out his policy successfully. be sustained
by a congress in harmony with his views. Tie

ABILITY AND WEALTH.

From Recent Sermon by Rev. DR.. Newell
Dwight Hills
II the rich do we'll to remember socicty's in.
dcbtedness to the poor, the poor also do well to
consider that much of the wealth OF the field
and factory has been produced, not by land,
not by labor, not by capital applied to both,
but by ability, Among many men the impress
sion prevails that labor alone has produced the
wealth of store and factory and warehouse; that
the large fortunes of the rich have peen created
by and belong to the poor; that he who has
amassed large fortune has done so by holding
back the wage tlpt belongs to his workman,
or by corruption and the purchase Of special
privileges. An age fruitful in foolish and false
ideas has produced none more erroneous than
the idea that labor produced all wealth.
q
Fortunately, OF late all scholars and thoughtful
men have begun to call attention to the fact
that to the power of land and labor and capital
must be adaed n fourth factor called ability,
In his "Work and Wages" Thorold Rogers tells
us that in 1850 the average weight OF fatted
bullock in England was 400 pounds. hut Robert
Bakcwell discovered a method OF improving cat
tie and sheep by system OF crossing and selec'
tion that in fifty years the average weight
OF the fatted bullock went from 400 to l,2OO
pounds. Labor had toicd for centuries and the
utmost it could do was to produce small, thin
bullock But ability came in and enabled labor,
with the same exertion, to add 500 extra pounds.
A still more remarkable instance OF the fact
that it is ability that has increased the worlds
store of wealth is seen in the enormous saving
through the reaper. In 1890 farmers toiled six
teen hours day with the scythe and sickle.
But the newly invented reaper saved the average
farmer the labor of six men through period
OF ten days in each year. In 1850 the ability
OF the single inventor was saving the nation
annually $55, 600 In 1880 the annual saving
in labor was $lOO,0Oo0o0. and the aggregate
saving In wages since 1Si0 is estimated at $i,-
100000, 900. The ability Of that inventor repre-

BRYAN IS FOR FREE TRADE.

In one of Bryans speeches in Congress, he
said:
81 WANT TO STATE AS ALPHABETICALLY
AS WORDS CAN STATE THAT ! CONSIDER
IT AS FALSE IN ECONOMY AND VICIOUS IN
POLICY TO ATTEMPT TO RAISE AT A HIGH
PRICE IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WHICH WE
CAN PURCHASE ABROAD AT A LOW PRICE
TOLL"
There you are. Free Trade, pure and simple.
and the repeal of all duties enacted to keep
higher wages in this country than abroad.
Even more specific is the following from his
speech in the house Of representatives on March
lG, 1902 Congressional Record, Vol. l22, page
2129J:
"What I denounce is protective tariff
levied purely and solely for the purpose OF
protection. 1t is false economy and the most
vicious political principle that has ever cursed
this country ! am ready to stand by II any
where, that tariff levied, not to raise reve'
nue., hut to protect some particular industry,
is wrong in principle and vicious in practice" :"
As an explanation why he could hold such
sentiments, Bryan took as text and motto for
his free trade speech Of Jan. 10, 1894. the fol-
lowing from Proverbs Congressional Record,
Vol. 26, Part I, page 2l0):
"BETTER is LITTLE WITH RIGHTEOUS
NESS THAN GREAT REVENUES WITHOUT
RIGHT"
As if American workmen must give up their
high wages as not right, and come down to
the foreign level in the name Of religion. A
man who talks this way may he sincere, hut
he is dangerous. Let workingmen beware OF
this fanatic, possessed, as he is with the idea
that the high wages OF this country are not
right and must be reduced in the name Of re-
ligion His opponents do not accuse him Of
that, hut point to his words where he himself
says 1t most explicitly,
Fanaticism is never so dangerous as when it
gets to quoting religion.
LET LABOR BEWARE OF BRYAN.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-30

w y HEN BRYAN was speak
AN/ ing at Ann Arbor,
Mich, Thursday, Octo-
ber nth, some one in
the audience called out, How about
free silver?" and he replied as fol-
lows.
eve are in favor of the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of sixteen
to one without waiting for the aid or
consent Of any other nation on
earth"
There 1t is-free silver doctrine in
all It's danger, recklessness and fana-
ticism. Not syllable of qualification
or caution. No hint of a safer ratio
no suggestion of securing the cooper
alton of any other nation, but reck-
less plunge by this country, SINGLE
handed and alone, in an attempt to
maintain silver at double its actual
value!
Angry men tell the truth. Nettled
by the timely and pertinent question,
Bryan let the cat completely out of
the bag. Stung by the keen reminder,
he dropped his campaign mask and
avowed the full truth as men do
sometimes in their wraths as in their
cups.
The alert citizen who propounded
the question at Ann Arbor did well.
He surprised Bryan into declaring the
truth fully and plainly before the
country. AS the Democratic Candi-
date had been compelled by Jones,
ct al, to hide and dissemble his love
for free silver in a policy game to
be kept up until the end of the cam
paign, it only required the sting and
surprise of the sudden question to
bring out the burning inner truth Of
Bryan's devotion to silver.
Bryan loves his silver dogma all the
more fanatically because he has had
to nurse 1t in silence. The surprise
sprung on him at Ann Arbor shows
how the land lies. Believing in free
silver as absolutely and as ardently
as ever. Bryan will stop at nothing
when the opportunity comes to en-
force that policy in its most extreme
and reckless form.
The Irish poet tells of the prophet
khorassan who disguised his frightful
visage for time, making his follow
ers think 1t one Of enhancing beauty,
but when the hour came to drop the
mask he did so with frantic joy, ex-
claiming, rye would be dupes and VIC
tins, and We are!"
So it will be with Bryan's victim If
he ever gets chance to drop the mask
and give full vent to his silver mania.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1900-10-30
sents through natural law free gift Of $50 each
year to the average farmer.

A recent writer declares that of the great
labor-saving inventions the people have received
over 90 per cent. of the income thereof, while
the inventors whose ability created these devices
have received from onethousandth OF per cent.
to one.tcnth of 1 per cent. of the gain. Now
and then, indeed, men makes fortunes by OPP
pressing the poor, by cxtorting unjust prices,
or through bribery gain special privileges. But
these fortunes are the exceptions. The great
majority OF the fortunes of this country have
been made, not through fraud or oppression,
hut through ability that has done far more
for the poor man than for the possesSors thereof.
recent work contains study OF hundred
millionarcs in New York city. These are some
of the foundations of wealth: Oil lamps, wall
paper, clothes-pins, hooks and eyes, buttons,
spices, wire thread for sewing shoes, hemlock
tar, altar OF roses, blacking, glue, cocoa, yeast,
dyes to which must be added some eighty arti.
cles that have made their manufacturers mil.
lionares. These rich men discovered certain
wastes that were going on in the factory and
the workshop and the saving OF the remnants
that others had thrown away made them rich
and society far richer. That these rich men
became rich by making poor men poorer is
falseliood so colossal as to seem almost Alpine
in its vastness. All that they have was gained
through saving what had been previously thrown
away, and where they made 81 out Of their in
vention society has received 500.
Today the wastes in the field, the remnants
in the factory and the shop and the dirt under
mans feet represent untold wealth. But the
young men of the next generation will save
these wastes and their future savings will amass
large fortunes. Anarchy and socialism propose
to run a moving machine the top Of society
and cut off the tall mems heads until all are
equal. The common school levels, not by lower
ing the rich, but by lifting the poor.

A PERTINENT QUESTION.


When, during all the years that Mr. Bryan has
been a leader OF opinion, has he lifted hand to
aid his country with any one OF the hard tasks
with which it has been graphing? When has
there been one word Of praise or credit for
America or American freedom, or American gov
ernment, or for any Of the men who represent
the dignity OF the people by the peoples choicey
When has there been from him aught but de-
probation and disparagement and discredit for
everything that is and everything ,nat is done
in our country? When has there come from him
one word OF encouragement or hope, one word
to cheer the path Of labor, to fire tho ambition
OF youth, to confirm or "a increase the American
peoples confidence in their institutions and 10y
atty to their flag?

measure was a sodsend to the Island
and that It is popular with the people
generally. The only objection is made
Ivy few wealthy planters and heavy
shippers who would like to escape the
payments. It Is the money thus real.
lied that meets the expenses of the
schools, of the decent courts that have
supplanted the old, of the road I'M
provcments. and of the other improves
ments on the island. The government
Of Porto Rico Is as solvent as any
bank. Not debt is contracted until
the money is available to pay 1t.
Porto Rico is rapidly developing
market for the products of the United
States that will be far more appreciat-
ed when 1t is better understood. Just
as I was starting for the United States
learned from the customs officer that
for the week of Oct. 6-13, the revenues
collected on shipments to and from the
island amounted to $4,000 and of this
$2S,000 was on trade with the United
States. This revenue for one week is
more than the whole trade of year
between the United states and the
island under the Spanish regime"
Now this is not the testimony Of
politician trying to gain votes by mis-
statement but that of man who
ranks high among the devoted teach-
ers of our land. 1t is worth reading
second time by those who are fearful
lest the American people should dis
play inability to treat the new depend
encies honorably and well.
