Washington correspo 11 den ts, writing of President McKinley, says that he is again his old self, after the long mental strain he has gone through; that his eyes are bright, his voice cheery, and he is enthusiastic and buoyant. Well he may be. Looking back over the little over two years of his ad ministration and noting the benifi cent changes that have obtained during that time, largely due to the Republican policy as carried into execution by his administra tion, President McKinley may well be a happy and satisfied man. Two years ago last March, when the Republican party came into power, the people of this nation were sufiering from industrial stag nation; wages were low; the unem ployed were numbered by hun dreds of thousands, and want and suffering were everywhere. Al most the first act of President Mc- Kinley was to call a special session of Congress to pass a Tariff law which would put a stop to the ruinous Free-Trade, open our own factories to supply the home de mands and set our idle mechanics and laborers at work. The result has been seen in every city and village in the land. With the assurance of honest money in stead of a bastard dollar, 4'confi dence was restored," money which had been hid came into circulation, and with the competition of the pauper labor of Europe shut off. the situation improved by leaps and bounds. With military, judicial and com mercial triumphs have come new victories for American manufac turers. Our products have been pushed to the uttermost parts of the earth, in competition with the most skilled nations, and as Mr. Barrett states, where formerly foreigners took 110 interest in Am erican products, now they are anxious to buy them, and to secure the privilege of acting as agents and consignees. Much lias been said of "Mc- Kinley's luck," but it is not luck that has been at the bottom of the prosperity that has come to the American people and the President. Mr. McKinley, more than any other President since Lincoln, has had more faith in and got nearer to the people, lie has also firm faith in Republican principles which has had largely to do with the magnificent results. It is because the President has got nearer to the American people that he has now decided to work for the establishment of American su premacy in the Philippines and to maintain the sovereignty we ac cepted by the terms of the treaty with them. That such a policy will be earnestly recommended to Congress is certain. Some criticism lias been made by theoretical and sincere reformers of the President's recent order, but not from the advocates of prac tical civil service, which would be a help instead of a hindrance to the work of the Government. President McKinley could not have been blamed if lie had at the lie ginning of his administration taken action which would have pulled the civil service blanket from the thousands it had been made by ex- President Cleveland to cover — mere political appointees, putin place of Republicans before the order was made. Instead of that President McKinley has given two year;: to investigation and ;;tudy of 'thf question, and his order takes in but a portion of the offices re commended by cabinet officers and bureau chiefs.—Tacoma ( Wash.) "Ledger." W. H. Philpot, Canton, (.)., writes: "Eight cases ot Hore throat with Scarlet fevei- in our family hnve been treated HUece°sfnlly with Armstrong's Diph theria and Quinsy Uro-s." 61y REPUBLICANS ARE READY. The Free-Trade Issue Will Find them j Well Prepared in 1900. Some of the Democrats who see hopelessness of a campaign 011 a l(i-to-l platform express anxiety to make Free-Trade and Protection the issue. If the Bryan or Demo cratic leaders will agree to ignore the silver issue in their platform and pledge that its speakers shall not allude to it, it is possible that the Republicans would acommo date them. In 18U4 the Republi cans made the campaign 011 a dec- ] laration against the Gorman-Wil- j son Tariff Jaw. Hard times helped, but the Democratic party was never so badly beaten. Indeed, the overwhelming defeat in IKO4 I caused I )emocrats to seek a new ! issue for 1 8'.Mi, and free and un-j limited coinage of silver was ac- ! cepted by 111:1113' Democrats because j they dared not go into a campaign j with a revenue Tariff platform. j The Bryan convention dropped the j word "'only" from the usual Demo cratic platform declaring for a Tariff for revenue. The duty in the Gorman law was high enough 011 iron, but it was made so low on a long line of goods that half the factories pro ducing tlieni were closed. The woolen industry and the wool growing interest were hit very hard by the Gorman law. During the past two years the wool-growing interest has got 011 its feet again. Sheep and wool again have values, and the latter, produced at home, is taking the place of the foreign article, coming to us 011 the free list. It is not probable that the wool-growers, who are in three fourths of the States, can form a wool-growers' trust. The wool manufacturers have not yet accom plished much in that direction. Clothing is not materially higher than it was under the Gorman law. Free-Trade in glass would lose to Indiana the Eastern trade in one of its prominent industries, as did the cut in duties by the Gorman Tariff law. So with other indus tries, the principle of Protection cannot be safely set aside unless we are all willing to reduce wages to the basis of those of competitors in other countries. Great Britain has competitors to-day because all nations have protected their indus tries by tariffs which have held the home markets for the home producer, and there is 110 doubt that they will adhere to that policy in adjusting duties. At any rate, if the Bryan Democracy is anxious to drop 1(> to 1 for the Tariff issue, Republicans are ready.—lndian apolic (Ilid.) "Journal." WASHINGTON 7.ETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July :51st, 1899. Wide awake as newspaper men are generally, they do not always get onto things as soon as they occur. For instance none of the Washington correspondents knew until a day or two ago, that Presi dent McKinley had ordered a cablegram sent to Gen. Otis more than a week ago, telling him that the President was entirely satisfied with what he had accomplished and believed that he had done all that could have been done under the circumstances. The following is a portion of the answer of Gen. Otis: "I appreciate very much the confidence the President has expressed in nie and assure the President that I have no other am bition or thought than to carry out his instructions. With plans, now matured I believe that we can sup press the rebellion in a reasonably short time, with honor to the l". S., and satisfaction to the Presi dent." It is highly creditable to the President that while the yellow journals were demanding the recall of Gen. Otis because he had failed to please some of the correspon dents and to accomplish impossi bilities, lie should have shown liis confidence in him in such a mark ed manner. That the President and the entire administration had implicit confidence in Gen. Otis, has been known in Washington all the time. Secretary Root arrived in Wash ington to-day and will, tomorrow, formally succeed Gen. Alger as Secretary of War. There are in circulation as to what his policy is to be, but they are merely guesses, mostly wild. There is no occasion for a Secretary of War to have any policy other than that of the President, under whom he serves, and 110 reason to believe that in that respect, Secretary Root will differ in any radical way from his predecessor. A great many kind words will accompany Secretary Alger into private life, and being spoken at this time, there is no possible rea- | son to doubt their sincerity. The j following remarks made by Repre- ! sentative Joy, of Mo., are a fair j sample of what is being said by I many Republicans of prominence: j "I am not surprised to | see (<en. Alger's election to the j CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3, 1899. j Senate predicted. I make the 1 same prophecy. Instead of-heing j the target for all manner of abuse I and the victim of everybody's per secution, Gen. Alger will become the hero, and this will be especially true of his future in bis own state. As Senator Elkins has said, he was at the head of the War Department during the most successful war. He* equipped and put 250,000 men in the field in an increditably short space of time, and when everything I had to be obtained at almost a j moment's notice. To be sure the soldiers did not have pie for break fast, nor were feather beds carried around for them, but on the whole, they fared remarkably well. The time will come when Gen. Alger j will be given credit for his great ' work and the kindliness of heart I which accompanied his executive j administration." Representative Smith, of Ills., i thus summed up the amusing wob | bling of the democrats 011 the issues jof the Presidential campaign: j "The democrats may try to run I their campaign on a dozen issues, j but the moment they nominate Bryan, they will force the silver 1 issue to the front. They cannot escape it if he is the nominee, as now seems practically settled. Mr. Bryan cannot subordinate silver unless he descends to mere pettyfogging in politics, for he is the embodiment of the idea. If silver is not mentioned in the plat form, and Bryan is nominated, the people will not be deceived. They know Bryan's position too well." "Three hundred million bushels of corn and $50,000,000 on deposit 111 its banks," said Representative Curtis, "have drowned out the calamity wallers and restored Kansas to its old place among the sure Republican states. Thousands who voted for Bryanii".Mi, will vote for McKinley next year, and it will be classed among the cer tainties that Kansas will give the Republican presidential electors not less than 25,000 majority. Secretary Long and every officer on duty at the Navv Department, unite in expressing disbelief of the alleged interview with Admiral Dewey, which makes him say that our next war will be with Ger many, and other things which arc inconsistent with his general record for level-headedness. What is to Prevent? England has 186 trusts, which must be orphans, as there is no Tariff to be a mother to them They control such interests as steel and iron rails, petroleum, war ship building, lead pipe, fish supply, metal utensils, antimony, nickel, mercury, thread, salt, alkali and rubber tires. One engineering combine has a capital of $5(5,000.- <i( K). In Germany ISO trusts were or ganized two years ago and their number has largely increased since then. There is a big German coal trust, and an Austrian rolling mill trust; there are French combina tions controlling iron, petroleum, sugar, chemicals and numberless other products. Belgium is over run with trusts and these countries have various kinds of Tariffs. With these European trusts and the abolition of our present Pro tective Tariff, what is to prevent the combination of American and European trusts in the same lines of production'? With such com binations, the low wages in Eng land would naturally result in closing American manufactures or moving them to England, where labor would cost only one-half what it would in America. Am erican machinery and methods transferred to England, with the ; low wages there, would inflict a j serious blow upon American work- ! ingmen and American industries. ! —Tacoina (Wash.) "Ledger."
