CROKER'S VIEWS.
Tammany Chieftian Wants a New
Ratio Established Every
Four Years.

New York, July 14.-In an interview
with a reporter. Richard Croker gave
unmistakable indications that the or
ganization of which he is the leader will
not attempt to dodge the issue of 16 to
l, which Bryan insisted should be put
into the Democratic platform. He said
the distrust which some persons shave
of silver proceeds from ignorance, and
declared that congress ought to estah-
lish the ratio every four years.
There will be nothing done in poll
said he. Everybody is out of town, and
except for the possible effect it might
itself can do as wen with one month )
preparation as it can with six, for it is
thoroughly organized and all the COM
mittees are appointed.
4 think the prospects for a Demo-
cratic victory are excellent. The DEM
ocrats of Ohio, McKinley's own state,
are confident of winning. I am told
that the Germans in that state are all
in favor of silver"
Somebody spoke of Indiana.
-'Oh, Indiana is sure" said Mr.. Croker
emphatically.
The distrust which some persons
have of silver continued MI. Croker,
proceeds from ignorance They think
1t is a sort of bugabOO- When they study
the question thoroughly they viii vote
for Bryan. AS for the ratio of 16 to 1.

may yet occupy some weeks. The in
crease of 86,958 tons. in stocks unsold
implies decrease in manufacture more
than double the decrease in output and
works of five of the great corporations
are waiting for decline in wages just
when the workers have looked for an
increase. Open markets are now adj
mitted at Pittsburg, where quotations
have been for some time nominal, and
Bessemer pig is offered there at SIG.
Structural makers decided not to reduce
prices, but steel bars there and plates
at Philadelphia are said to have sold
at LIS in some cases. The sheet works
open Monday with large orders. Coke
works, about 10 per cent idle, have no
demand now and in contracts it is said
that even $50 would be shaded.
Cotton speculation has held the price
too high for the comfort of foreign spin
ners who have not provided for all their
wants, but the arrangement by the
Fall River committee to close for
month or more a large part of the New
England mills will clear away dispute
about the market for goods. The wooden
manufacture is no better position, with
some of the best mills in part closed or
wholly closed on account of the uncer-
tainty of the demand. Woods Is growing
weaker and even offered by some west
erners at prices which were refused not
what goods they will be able to sell
and from a temporary idlenesS there
seems to be no escape.
Prices of shoes are not weaker, but
larger proportion of the makers appear
disposed to make concessions already

it is shown that 80 banking failures for

SCORES BOTH PARTIES.
Presidential Nominee DR.. SiIas c.
Swallow Opens His Campaign.

Chambersburg, July 14--Rev. Dr.
Silas G. Swallow, candidate for presi-
dent on the ticket of the United Chris
tan party, was the principal speaker
at the camp meeting of the Disciples of
Christ in the big grove at New Frank
lin this afternoon.
DR.. Swallows address to a large
audience was principally against Presi-
dent Mckinley. With reference to the
president he said:
I'VE are sometimes chided for turn
ing our attention to politics, but poll
tics is the science of government, and
every good citizen should be interested
in caring for his country. I am slow
to criticise the head of our government,
but when man breaks his of total
abstinence as a Methodist, when he puts
the bottle to his. neighbors' lips by
spreading liquor before his guests, when
he nullifies a law of congress passed to
destroy the canteen saloon and thus
temptS the nations Soldiery to drunk
enness and rioting, it is not too much
to say that such man is not a fit ruler
ness exalteth a nation, but that sin is
reproach to. any people.
DR.. Swallow scored both Republican
and Democratic conventions in the fol-
lowing words: THE wholesale drink
ing, gambling and Sabbath dissertation
connected with the Philadelphia CONVEX
ton, and that, too by men who claim
to represent and largely dominate the
great business interests of the country,
stand as menace to our religious in

that jobbers also seem to have modified

Leather grows weaker, though kid

production. Splits are little lower but
most upper leather is steady.
The end of the crop year has brought
the usual estimates, which command
no more confidence than usual. If the
country gets out of crop officially
called SAT ,000, 900 bushels all it wants
for food and seed and 200000.000 for ex-
port, with considerable left over in
sight it is the easy inference that
anxiety is needless

more necessary than it was last year.

LEAVES THE DEMOCRATS.
James NJ. Beck, of Philadelphia, De-
clares For Imperialism.

Philadelphia, July 14.-United States
Attorney James NJ. Beck today visited
Washington and handed to the attorney
general his resignation as United States
attorney. Mr.. Beck is one Of the most
widely known Democratic orators in
this country and his resignation is be-
cause of political reasons. Mr.. Beck
said:
"On questions which have come up
since the late war touching the foreiE1
policy of the United States and the1E
true position among the nations my
synpathies are wholly with the RepuD-
lican party. 1 announced my belief in
expansion when l spoke at the Omaha
exposition on July and at time when
neither party had adopted any fixed
policy with reference to it. Why should
longer cling to a name when my rea-
son rejects the substance of this latter
day Democracy"
