The Tariff Ajaiu.
There is a grent bother just now about
the ruinous effects of the Tariff, and eve
ry wiid and improbable story of 'effects'
is forced into the argument. The half of
a fact, coupled with an erroneous conclu
sion, or a simple fact, shorn of all expla
nation of causes, is considered fair and
honest enough, by some of those who are
politically and pecuniarly interested in
having the prices of home manufactures
raised as high as possible. They seem
ingly forget in their eagerness to amass
fortunes in a few yeais, that the money
to pay those high prices, and from whom
those fortunes to the few are amassed,
comes from the many consumers,- the
thousands of plodding, hard-working far
mers and mechanics, in all the length and
breadth of the land. Unfortunately for
the judicious adjustment and stability cf
this important question, it has been drawn
into the vortex of politics, where all is
considered fair as, for instance it was
recently stated that eight mills had stop
ped in Massachusetts. It was not long
before the 'paragraph, in its rounds, was
nlnnlt nnrlpr th imnrnsinrr hpnrl TffT'r.ts
cf the Tariff of ' W when the truth
was, they stepped for want of water.
More recently, an extensive iron manu
facturer in New Jersey having, months
ago, accepted an order for a large amount
of iron, at prices higher than the present
market rate, was busily preparing to
execute it. when the other contracting
party bought out of a bad bargain by pay
ing the iron master fifty-four thousand
dollars to give up the contract. The
works were forthwith blown out and
this fact, too, was proclaimed as the 'ruin
incus effects of the Tariffof '40,' without
once alluding to the cause. Such ruin
does not often fall to the lot of the farmer,
or in fact, any other than a manufacturer.
There is no doubt that the recent revul
sion that so prostrated all business in
Europe, has thrown immense quantities
of every description of manufactures on
this market at less than cost iron as
well as most everything else but these
are occurrences that it is impossible to
guard against by any revenue law, and
it is not desirable that the advantages that
result to consumers in the United States.
The products held as assets by the bank
rupt manufacturer, as well as of the bank
rupt farmer, are usually sold at forced
sales, at a loss, and it is preposterous to
attempt to prevent any one who chooses
from buying them. That the manufactu
rers know and feel that they can com
mand the home market, even under tho
present Tariff, is manifest from the spring
ing up of new mills and works all over
the country. If the business would not
pay, they would not invest farther in
them, as thoy are almost daily doing. At
Trenton, a new iron foundry has just been
started, notwithstanding sffcother manu
facturer in that State made more by
pocketing 831,000 and relinquishing a
contract than in fulfilling it. A company
of iron-workers in this fc?tatc, which it is
known have made much money, and
which have recently added largely to their
facilities to manufacture, a few davs ao,
' ml O
evidently for political effect, posted the
following notice on the door of their count
ing house: 'We regret that we "cannot
find work for the men cmp'oyed; but the
fault is not curs it is owing to the Tar
iff of 1916.' Now, this -very company, if
the repoits be true of the extensive addi
tions to their works, must feel assured
that thereis a market for all that they can
produce else why add more to a losing
capital? Balder baits have rarely boon
put in political traps, and it can hardly
ue expected mat they will catch sensible
oiers.
working
It js a creat nitv for the reallv

- - j
that this important matter has fallen into

who making it a hobby, hope by mount

little and caring less for the real, interest
of the subject they profess to have so
much at heart.
The Bungling Taylor Administration.
Since the present administration came
in power, say the Washington Union,
which is but six months ago, the cabinet,
with Mr. Clayton at its head, has contriv
ed to pick quarrels, or get into diplomatic
squabbles, with England, France, Spain
the Cierman Confederation, and tha Ba
shaw of Tunis. What but the most stu
pid blundering can account for this state of
things.' And where is all this unfortunate
mismanagement to end? We were dis
posed to laugh at first. Hut we really be
gin to think there is clanger of a rupture
of our peaceful relations, and of war with
more than one foreign power. Wc cer
tainly think, in view of this strange state
of things, this embroilment with half the
world, in so short a period, that our citi
zens engaged in commerce should keep a
look out for the future. Precautions arc
certainly necessary, for we know not when
a war may break out under the manage
ment of the present cabinet. It seems to
behave in the conduct of our foreign rela
tions with no more judgment or caution
than a mad animal in a china shop.
Where is the "man of peace" which but

Our Prospect.
This being Court week, we have had an op
portunity of converting with a great number
of people from every section ol tho county, anj
we can assure our democratic friends here and
elsewhere that never, since Hie organizatiou of
the county, was there more unanimity to be
found in the ranks of tho democracy. Never
were our prospects for succc&s brighter. Tho
democracy are quiet, but cctennintJ, and hav
thrown asido all past differences, they are dis
posed to unite in a general effort to redeem our
county from Federal misrule. When such a
stain ot tilings exist in Cambria, who can
doult the result. The democracy of the Stale
may rest assured that so far as Cambria is con
cerncd "all is well."

whether this county pliall again be represented

The next session will! be an important one,
and many rpiestions will have to be decided
which may have an important bearing upon the
ascendency hereafter of tho Democratic party'in

If the principles of the party ero worth con.

they will endeavor to carry out all their favor

of the many. They will a!eo oppose the election
of Judges by tho people, and endeavor lo pre.
vent the amendment of the conblitution for thai

be in favor of giving power to the Executive
rather luan tha people. Tho apportionment of

your lethargy I go to tho polls in your strength
evince to the world your determination no lon
ger to bo represented by awhig, or to aid in fas"
tening upon yourselves all the'evils arising from
whig legislation ; but that you are still opposed
to the creation of mammoth monopolies, and
all kindred measures of whig policy. Let it
be seen that- you are again united, thai the
difficulties of the past are forgotten, and that
you are alive to the interests your own county,

a united and enthusiastic support, a glori

bria will again be recognized among the demo

Do M Forgel!
That Jons Feslos whilst in the Legislature
ast winter voted in favor of the re-charter of
several banks, and if again elected would go in
to create a batch of new ones, as well as re
charter others whose applications will come be

Do not Forget, That John Feslon last win

the people, and if rc-clectoi will do bo a
gain. :
Do not Forget, That the apportionment cf
the State for members of the Legislature must
be effected next winter, and by voting for John
Fenlon you may give the Wbfgs a 'majority,
who would then gerrymander the State to suit
their own purposes, and probably deprive Cam.
bria county of her seperate representation in
the House.
Do not Forget, That the next session of the

to see the people elect their own Judges if
you want to have a fair apportionment of the

"to cry peace, peace when there is no peace
and lull you into a state of security , so that they
may be enabled to steal a march, and possibly

Rest assured thai under the quiet exterior all

Elections.
The election in Georgia for overcor anu
members of the Legislature took place las
Monday the 1st inst.
The Marylaud election for members of Con
gress and State Legislature was held jestcrda y.
In belli States the peop le ippear to be aroused
to the importance of the contest, aud the pros
pects of the democracy are very cheering.
Tho tattle in o!d rcn-isylvinia comis oT next
Tuesday, and in our next we hope the be able
to publish such returns as will prove that the
people in each of tho ee States have repud iated
and condemned the no.party, proscrip tivc.Tay
lor Whig Adiuinisistration of the General Gov
ernment. The Xext Apportionment.
The re-districting of the State for tho elec
tion of members of the Legislature, is a duty
which will devol ve upon that body next winter
and ought to be to the citiz ens of our county a
mailer of deep interest. How necessary it is
that we should have a separate representation in
the House, to that our local wants and inter
ests can be attended to. From'ths organ ization
of tho county down to 1813 thia county was
joined lo Somerset, farming a district and elec
ting two members to the House. How ioflen
a member was given lo Cjmbria during that
long period, or the interests of our County at
tends d to, our citizens can well remember, as
both members were almost invariably taken
from Somerset. It ia only sinco the last appor.
tionment in 1843 that Cambria has has been en
titled to a separate representation in the House
of Representatives, and in tho six sessions of
the Lezislaturo which have pissed, in conse
quence of divisions in our own renks, we have
been represented in foca of them by Whigs,
and twice only by Democrats. Tho ensuing
session will bo tho last under tha bill of 1S43,
and it is for the Democrats of Cambria to deter,
mine whether wo bhall again be represented by
a whig or a Democrat. They are now called
upon to decide whether they wisii the parly
divided so as to give the whigs the ascendency
or whether ihey will not bury in oblivion all
past difficulties and unite in electing our Dem
ocratic candidate. 1 the whigs should obtain
a majority in tha next Legislature, they will
endeavor to pass such a bill as will perpetuate
their power in the state for the next seven
years, and possibly deprive our county of her
separate representation. Do the Democrats of
Cambria desire to bo connected again with
Somerset, a county whose interests and feel,
ings are entirely different from ours. Or do
they wish lo be connected with any other of
the whig counties by whi ch we are surrounded
by Blair, or Indiana? If not let them rally
'n their tticrgth, and go the polls with a firm
determination to elect tho Democratic candi
date to the Legislature. Every voto may be
important, and each democrat should turn out
as if the result depended upon his vote alcne
Let them aid in securing a democratic majority
in the House, and reni ember that in this way
only, can they secure a separate repre entat:on
from Cambria under tho new apportionment
bill for the next seven years.
It is hardly necessary to allude to the impor
tance of our county having a member to attend
to her interests in the Legislature- Her re
sources are just beginning to b8 developed, and
to attract notice from abroad. The iron, coal,
lumber and agricultural proJucts are daily in
creasing and will be sources of great wealth to
Cambria. Tte popula tion . and improvements
of the count are every where extending, and
our prosperity may be much promoted by a
wise system of Legislation, 4if we only desire it,
andattend to our own interests. Go then again
we say to the polls, and vote against John Fen
lon, and for tho Democratic candidate Dr.
Wm. A. Siith.
Democrats Remember!
That ly electing a Whig to the Legislature
from ib's county last fall, parties were tied in
the Hoase, and that upon you may devolve to
decide whether the next House of Representa
tives shall be Whig or Democratic.
Remember That the whigs although appa
rently quiet are not the less active, hut hope
to lull you into security, & by a thorough and
secret organization throughout the Slate bring
their forces to tho polls so as to elect their
tickets.
Remember, That whenever you have been
defeated in Cambria county, it has been owing
dissensions in your own ranks that if yr.u
now wish to succeed, vour mtto should be
"u nion, conciliation, and concession, every
thing for tho cau?e,and nothing for men."
Remember, Tiiat you have a ticket around
which every member of the party can rally,
and that the candidates are all eminently qual
ified to discharge the duties of tho several 01&
ccs lo which they have been nominated.
Remember, That it ic the duty of every dem
ocrat to go to the polls through nunshine or
rain, and rote the whole Democratic ticket, if
vou desire to sustain Democratic principles
and nioasiires.
Remember, That the cye3 of the Democracy
of tho whole Stats are upon you, and that you
can easily wipe out the disgrace of last year's
defeat, by now giving "a pull, a long pull, and
a pull all together," so as to ensure the success
of the ichole Democratic ticket.
'Remember Paoli."
This famous walchward, says the Pennsyl
vania , recans me terriLic surprise ot 1110
Americans al Paoli, by the British troops, and
iho fiendish massacre tiiat followed. This sur
prise took place in Chester county, some twen.
ty miles from Philadelphia, seventy. two years
ago; Our political friends must "remember
Paoli" in the prcsant campaign. Three years
ago, in I he election for Canal Commissioner,
the Demociats were surprised by their ancient
foe; and nearly one year since, they were again
overcome by dissensions among themselves.
The same foe is now in the field, doubly vigi
lant and war, because he his twico becr. ena
bled to defeet lha strong party of the Com mon
wealth, and now feels that his tactics are un
derstood. We must not deceive ourselves by
the expectation that he i not at work. If so,
such an cxpcctitien is false and focliih. These
ancient enemies of the Democracy and of the
country ara eagerly yet silently preparing for
the conflict. They hope lo cvercome us, as
the tyrannical Gen. Gray did the Americans al
Paoii. Tiieir anti-war leaders arc all on the
alert. Johnston has bc-eu in Philadelphia
Fuller is now in the west Stevens is hard al
work and we kno w that there is a secret and
widely extended plan lo bring out thu Federal
voters. In the heavy county of Lancaster,
they are calling meetings to arouse their forces.
Democrats must wake up during tho coming
week. But few days remain for us; and e
should employ them wisely and well. Organ
ization and activity arc everything in such a
crisis; and we trust tho importance of these
great 'duties arc deeply impressed upon the
mind3 of our friends. 'Remember Paoli."

Jolin Fealon's Frifcdship for the Right! of
laboring Men
It will he remembered by all who are
acquainted with the legislation of last win
ter in Ilarrisburg, that a great part of th
session was spent in considering private?
bills, and class legislation, to the exclusion
of much important business of general in
terest to the people. There was at no
time any difficulty in wealthy individuals
or companies, procuring the postponement
of the order of the day for the purpose of
passing special laws, and granting privile
ges to favored classes, because of course
such were in possession cf the one thing
n.iressary to command the exclusive at
tention of whig legislators namely, plen
ty of money. In addition to such la ws, a
general manufacturing law was passed,
granting corporate privileges to every five
men or more, who would associate them-,
selves together in the manufacturing busi
ness in this commonwealth, with a capital
of at least 20,000 dollars.
Here we see that capitalists of
grades may avail themselves of the ad
vantages of special laws and corporate
while they have no guaranty by law that

But men of liberal principles and honest
object to the justice of the measure, for he
acknowledged it was right. But he laugh-
j ed at the preposterous idea, that any maa
should ttank that such a policy could meet
with success. So far was it beneath the
notice of gentlemen whig politicians.
Now he that hath understanding let him
count the value of John Fenlon's friend
ship for the laboring men. Whenever
any measure is proposed to grant special
privileges to the few at the expense of the
many; whenever a swindling bank is to
be incorporated; whenever an excitement

tice to labor, to which, bv-the-by, Mr.
Fenlon owes every bite of bread that ap
peases his hunger, and every stitch of
clothes that covers his awkward limbs
I say, propose such a measure to John
Fenlon, and it is met by a broad ludicrous
laugh, and grinned into ridicule.
Now this much must be true. Any la
boring man who has discovered the real
political character and principles of the
man, will surely consent to send almost
any body else to Ilarrisburg in preference
to John Fenlon. And any laborer who
has thus learned his character, and yet
will support him for a seat in our legisla
tive councils, might as well snatch tho
bread from his own children's mouths
