Issue hiding is by no means a new trick of the Democratic party. If predictions were only electoral votes Chairman Jones would be able to elect several Presidents this year. Bryan's speech of acceptance was devoted to explaining the platform, and now it will be time to explain the explanation. Dictator Croker sits on his Saratoga throne and his sway is as absolute as was Mr. Bryan's control of the Kansas City convention. Dick Croker is quick to attribute dis loyalty to those members of Tammany who favored the nomination of an hon est man for Governor of New York. Mr. Bryan says the Republican party puts the dollar before the man. So it does, and it is much better than placing an empty dinner pail before him. + + + + The cables between both Princeton and Gray Gables and the public are not working, so it is impossible to secure an ex-presidintial opinion of the Kansas City platform. Red shirtism in North Carolina and Goebelism in Kentucky are omitted from all of Mr. Bryan's speeches on "government without the consent of the governed," Senator Hoar's logical reasons for urging the election of McKinley and Roosevelt have had a rather depressing effect upon the Democratic editors. They have suddenly discovered that he is not a patriot. + + The plea that Mr. Bryan as President would not do the country so much harm but what the Republican party could step in and repair the damage is not an enticing one to the voters. + + + + Bryan is not so slow. He determined to have the band, the fireworks, the speeches, the whoops and hurrahs at the notification meeting rather than take any chances on a ratification meeting.

His wines are unsurpassed by any in the world. 23-Sw. Blames it on The Tariff, Mr. Emery blames the evils of the trusts on the tariff and is will ing to kill the tariff to kill the trusts. His course would he like that of a boy, who "killed the goose's chicken because its father bit him." It is an old theory of the rabid free traders that the tariff is father to the trusts, but it has no founda tion in fact or logical theory. True, there could be no trusts in the United States under free trade, but it is also true that there would be a. worse condition than all the trusts possible could produce under protection. Of course we could destroy the trusts by destroying the tariff. Similarly the farmer can kill tlic grasshoppers in his wheat by setting fire to the stand ing grain, and Ins wife can kill every cockroach, bed bug or ilea in the house by burning it. Repeal the tariff, destroy the protected in dustries of the country, flood our markets with the product of foreign cheap labor and make our hives of industry as desolate as a grave yard in winter and every trust will dis solve. We will not fear the trusts then. "The beggar sighs in the presence of the robbers." But it will then come to pass that foreign trusts will tighten their grip on us and prices will be put up by com binations absolutely out of our con trol and worse than any trust sys tem ever known in this country. Many years ago at a time when cut nails had little or no tariff on them thej r sold for eight cents a pound, and were nearly all imported. A tarifY of six cents a pound was lev ied and the American nail works which sprung up soon competed with each other and brought down the price to three cents a pound. A few years ago many leading men, including Blaine and McKiuley, Republicans, and Samuel J. Ran dall, Democrat, advocated a pro tective tariff 011 tin plate. Randall in one of his ablest speeches, said the entire market for tin plate in this country could be very soon supplied by our own mills. The McKinley bill put a high duty on tin plate and the American product took the place of the foreign pro duct. The prices did not rise as predicted, but large consumers tes tified that the change made no ap preciable difference 111 the market price of the plates. Mr. Emery's plan of killing to cure, will not be sustained by the voters. They will endorse any measure that promises to properly and effectually bridle corporations and punish the crimi nal acts of trusts or any other com binations or organizations, but they will not consent to remand our working people to such misery as they have just escaped by the mer ciful intervention of the present tariff law, for the purpose of killing off trusts. There is a more sensi ble remedy to reach.—Bradford Era. EHERY AT CLINTONVILLE HARV EST HOME. We take the following account of the action of candidate Lewis Em ery at the Clintonville Harvest Home from Capt. McClintock's let ter to the Oil City Derrick. It is correct and well written and ex plains itself: "During the afternoon a rather exciting incident occurred, which resulted in at last getting a definite declaration from Mr. Emery in re gard to Mr. Sibley's challenge to him for a joint discussion of the issues of the campaign. "Soon after dinner Mr. 11. J. McGill, who is one of the most highly respected citizens of Clinton township, and a staunch Republi can—but whose sympathies have heretofore been entirely with Mi-. Emery in this light—approached I). K. Buchanan, Esq., secretary of the Republican Countv Commit tee, and stated to him that he had talked with a large number of peo ple 011 both sides and that they were unanimous in their desire to have a meeting in the grove at an early date at which Mr. Emery and Mr. Sibley should appear and state their positions. Said he: 'Now, the people want this. They want to see these two gentlemen together; they want to hear them talk together, and explain every thing that the people ought to know, CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1900. and if it can be arranged I'll prom ise you they'll have a far bigger crowd than is here to-day. I wish you'd take this matter up and see if you can't arrange it..' "Mr. Buchanan replied that'lie felt sure that Mr. Sibley would be only too glad to accept, and he would see him about it at once. But that he thought he was not the proper person to take the matter up with Mr. Emery.' "To this Mr. McGill assented, and agreed that he would attend to the Emery side of it, if Mr. Sibley would consent to the proposal. Mr. B uchanan then laid the matter before Mr. Sibley, to which lie re plied: 'Any minute of any hour, of any day, between now and elec -1 tion, at any place that Mr. Emery j will name or agree to,l will be on i ly too glad to meet him in a dis | cussion of the issues of the day.' "These words were reported to | Mr. McGill, who at once sought ! out Mr. Emery and laid the propo j sition before him. But instead of it being received in the fair and gentlemanly manner in which it was intended, what was Mr. Mc (Jill's surprise to find his advances met in the most intolerant and re pellant manner, and himself made the object of suspicion, and vile abuse. Mr. Emery at first flatly refused*to discuss anything with Mr. Sibley unless it was 'Trusts,' and afterwards declined even that, and said he would not discuss any thing with him. "He finally lost all control of himself and said to Mr. McGill: 'You mustn't think I'm a damned fool. I can see through your damned tricks. Your whole damn ed gang ain't smart enough to put me in a bole.' "To say that Mr. McGill was astonished to have his motives misconstrued, and to thus be ac cused of being in a 'game' or 'trick' against the man whom he had in tended to support, is expressing his feelings mildly. But he proved himself the much better man of the two, and kept his temper admir ably, trying to explain that he was only trying to carry out the ex pressed wish of the people, and that lie could not see what there was in it so very objectionable to Mr. Emery. But no amount of explanation could pacify the latter, and he continued to rage and fume for the rest of the day." "Who Will Haul Down The Flag?" (Extracts from remarks of Hon. J. C. Sibley, of Pennsylvania, in daily Con gressional Record, February 1, 1900.) Shall we keep the Philippine Archi pelago and Puerto Rico? Every foot. No nation on the globe has higher rights or better title to a rod of soil. We hold by a double claim—tho right of conquest and the right of purchase. My belief is that where once our banner's shadow has fallen, there will survive a race of freemen. And I should hold Cuba un til stability, order, the protection of life, property, and good government were assured. And again 1 echo the President's query, "Who would haul clown the flag?" Who planted it there? What Cabinetcouncil? What warrior? What statesman? What Senator or Repre- IB'juasive? What body of men framed any plan of conquest? The cries of suffering humanity, ground down be neath the iron heel of oppression, rang | in our ears, and we stopped our ears. Their groans we heard, but we answer ed not. We saw them stripped and wounded on our way to Jericho, and like the priest and Levite passed by on the other side. Not unheard at "the throne of heaven were those groans and prayers. In order to awaken us from our tor por and almost criminal indifference the Almighty permitted the enemies of His wrath to hurtle their thunderbolts under the hows of the Maine lying peacefully at anchor in Habana Harbor. Nor keenest sighted statesman nor most daring warrior had even contem plated the possibility of gain, growth, or greatness to us as a nation to come out of the war of which the blowing up of the Maine was the first declaration. Thfse lands and people, unworthily ruled, were, in the wisdom of the Al mighty. to pass from the house of Saul to that or TDavid. rind and the valor of American arms gave us this territory, not because we are a nation altogether free, altogether pure and blameless,but because, working through human in strumentalities, He has given it to the boldest, freest, most progressive, most enlightened, and most Christian of all the nations of the present age. Sir, lam an optimist. Me bolief is that on this continent God has willed to plant a people who shall carry the arts of peace and the story of tho cross to the nations of the earth. You de preciate war not more than myself; but, sir, under certain conditions war'is to the body politic what the plowshare in the mellowed mold is to the husband man. Noxious growths and thorns and briars must bo exterminated and no rooted, that the fairer fruitage mav develop Within the bosom of our "oil the Al mighty has stored, through countless ages, the treasuries of minera's. From her breast, clothed with fores'-- and golden with ripening harvest, ir t - will house and feed a race which will haston j the dawn of that morning when 1 through a thousand cycles war shall be banished, the swords beat into plow shares and the spears into pruning hooks, and men, until time shall be no more, shall look into the eyes of each other and recognize the bonds of broth erhood. We go forth as a nation, not to teach the doctrine of the survival of the fittest, but to make men fit to sur- j vive. Do gentlemen recognize the fact that in one hundred years from today this j | will bo a nation of 400,000,000 souls? With such a soil, with Buch material resources, and such a people, who would haul clown the flag from enlarg ed boundaries? Who would environ and stifle between two oceans the en ergies of such a civilization? Who would pent up its powers within the confines of a continent? It is hoped that a very full house will greet Byron King next Monday evening. He is a man of established reputation and will give a new pro gram. So if you have heard him be fore, come and hear him again, it will pay you. These cold nights remind us of our 1 winter undergarments. If you find it I necessary to lay in a new stock this I fall remember that N. Seger keeps a 1 line worthy of your examination. All who heard Byron King on his 1 previous visit to Emporium will wel come his return when they recall bis masterful rendition of all sorts of se lections. "Dear Ilo> " Letters. My Dear Boy—ln your last letter you | say that old man Skinner, your employer, i says that he ' doesn't see what a farmer ! can be thinking of to vote for McKinley | when the trusts are squeezing the life out j of the farmer and the country is drifting I right into imperialism every day " You want to know how toanswer him. | Well, I will tell you what to say to him I and then I have a few words to say to you. Ask Mr. Skinner if he remembers that that in 189(3 he sold that sorrel mare that used to work on the nigh side with old .Jim for 845. Ask him whether the sor rel wasn't a better horse than that bay that he sold to Crawford the other day for §BO. Remind him that he sold his wool in 1896 for 14 cents, and that he sold this year for 27 cents and kicked like a steer because he didn't get 30. Gently suggest that lie sold a couple of* steers in 18l)fi for -8'! per hundred, and that they were as good as those splen did fellows that he sold last week for §5.10. The o'd man runs a huckster wagon into Nelsonvilie and sells produce to the miners' wives. Ask him if he remembers that four years ago a woman would come | out to the wagon and say: ' Can you let me have a peck of pota ! to« sand trust me till John gets work?" llemind him that the same woman | comes out now and says: "Give me three \ dozen of eggs and two pounds of butter, j What are those peaches worth? I'll take j a basketful of them, (jive me a peck of those tomatoes. How much does it all i come to? Here's your money. When j arc you going to briritr in some veal? I John likes veal for breakfast." Ask liim if he doesn't know that more money has been paid out as wages to working men during the past year than j in any other year in the history of the i Hocking Valley. Ask him whether a ! considerable part of this money hasn't i found its way into iiis capacious poeket j book. Remind him that he told me that j whenever the Mayhew farm is put up for sale lie intends to bid on that upper eighty j that joins his, and that ho has made i enough money in the last two years to I pay for it. And then gently suggest that he does not appear to be suffering much from lm j perialism or trusts either. Tell him that j perhaps he had better let well enough | alone. Tell him not to vote for what he doesn't want. Tell him that when trade is good and business confidence strong and j healthful, it is not wise to tear the whole j thing down by giving the administration | into untried hands. I think that this is the only kind of argument that will touch old man Skinner, but you, my boy, have a larger soul. I Want to say some other things to you. My boy, thank God that you live in a country prosperous at home and honored abroad, and never so prosperous and hon ored as now. When you come to vote this Jail, re member that the national credit has reached its highest point; that the work of American laborers has gained its high est reward, and that the glory of Ameri can arms on land and sea has been most widely maintained under the wise,thought ful, patriotic administration of William McKinley. Remember that his administration is carrying out the principles and policy of the Republican party. Remember that the blood of four gen erations of American soldiers runs in your veins, and then vote so that you will not be ashamed of your vote on the day after election. Voirii FATHER. Howard.
