The Scranton Tribune External Office at New York outlines advertising agent roles and publication rules. It states letters to be published must be signed with real names and may be edited for content, with confirmation required before acceptance.
A Scranton 1900 issue presents national and local ticket names for president vice president congress auditor general and local officials including sheriff treasurer clerk of courts and jurors. It also quotes William Jennings Bryan from Knoxville and Zanesville speeches asserting stance on the gold standard and party unity.
The letter argues that a successful manager rescued a failing private business and urged readers to reappoint him four years more at the same salary. It compares this to McKinley and Bryan, praising Republican stewardship and urging a straight vote next Tuesday to continue the administration’s gains.
The article argues that national prosperity hinges on protective tariffs and sound currency. It cites wheat consumption per capita dropping under low tariffs, farmer income declines, and widespread business failures in the 1890s, contrasting with protection and stable money. It highlights savings bank depositors as a powerful creditor class and warns against free silver and Bryanism.
In a transcriptioned review of Bryan era policy, figures show money in circulation rising from 1 508 404 100 to 2 002 425 496, a 9 percent gain, challenging Bryanites who argued free coinage was needed. John Scheuer’s Harrisburg labor ties are cited as proof of his commitment and a basis for re election.
The piece argues Bryan’s election would ruin foreign commerce by shifting from a gold to a silver standard. It claims 95 percent of world trade uses gold while 5 percent uses silver, predicting reduced foreign trade and shorter mill runs. It warns voters to choose Bryan, noting two neighbors on the state ticket E. J. Hardenbergh and Galusha A. Grow.
The piece argues tariffs show mixed outcomes in US history with long protective periods and large trade surpluses, while long low tariff periods correlate with trade deficits. It contrasts Brun and Conry as advocates of free trade and cites multiyear totals to suggest tariff effects on the balance of trade.
A pointed open letter accuses William J Bryan of deceiving voters by withholding facts. It argues Bryan knows the Philippines war, army size, tariffs, territorial acquisitions, and trust issues and accuses him of evasion, misrepresentation, and political expediency. The author defends Republican policy and criticizes Bryan's stance on sovereignty, labor, and foreign affairs.
A publican president faces criticism over army size promises and tariff history while accusing Democratic rivals of trust evasions. The letter cites price drops, trust influences on commodities, and alleged opposition to Philippine actions, urging a return to honorable, consistent conduct in politics.
The piece argues that Cuba is a homogeneous island nation while the Philippines comprise 1 200 diverse islands with about eighty tribes and six races. It contends self rule there is impossible soon and that US guardianship has kept stability, not subjugation, until a Filipino people can form a self directing government.
The Scranton Republican argues for a Republican congress aligned with the administration to support McKinley or counter Bryan if he wins. It stresses the district must avoid chances and endorses Mr. Connell as the only candidate with a hope of maintaining administration support and aiding in upcoming difficult issues.
The National Afro American Council appeals for financial aid and moral support to test the Louisiana constitution of 1899 that disfranchises many Afro American citizens. Contributions may be sent to Treasurer John Wy Thompson in Rochester or Blalop A Walters in Jeremy City to aid the Supreme Court case in Washington.
A period piece argues that U S commerce expands, reaching all peoples with world markets. It claims American mechanics and merchants lead globally and will continue expanding since the nation started.
The passage links expansion and market demand for labor to higher wages and greater happiness. It argues that under the Republican party the laboring classes will prosper with plentiful food and money, and the United States will command global respect and admiration. The question ends by asking what more humanity could desire.
The shop owners say they are proud of their store and justified in talking about it but prefer friends to speak for them. They extend a cordial invitation to all to call and see the premises.
