Democratic County Ticket.

The Ticket.
snr,
It was a good convention that met
in this place on Tuesday last—a
convention of representative, earnest
Democrats, who did their work well
and gave to the people of the county a
ticket, and a platform, that every Dem-
ocrat within it will endorse and sup-
port with hearty good will.
There is noneed for reference now,
to the choice of the convention for
Governor, Congressman, Senator or
Judge. These have all to go through
the ordeals of state aud district con-
ventions before they can be considered
a8 nominees ; and until they are such,
words of commendation, such as the
Warcaman feels they: are worthy of,
would be useless and out of place.
It is not out of place in this connec-
tion however to say, that in presenting
Mr. SiNeerny for governor, Mr.
WiLLiaus or Mr. HeINLE for congress,
Mr. MEYER for Senate and Mr. Bow-
ER for judge, that the Democracy of
Centre have done so in the best of
faith and in the full belief that they
have named for these positions, candi-
dates worthy the honor they have
bestowed, and who, if successful, will
give to state, and respective districts, a
ticket that will do credit to the party
and the principles it represents, and
will receive the cordial, earnest and
united, support of the Democratic
voters of the county.
In naming that portion of the tick-
et that was completed the convention
made no mistake: Mr. SCHOFIELD
who heads the ticket for Legislature, is
well known and popular throughout
the entire county. The public places
he has filled, he has filled well, and
his course during the last Legislature,
in standing by the interests of the tax-
payers on all questions, would entitle
him, even if the usages of the party did
not, to re-nomination and election. It
is conceded on all sides that he made
an attentive and active member, watch -
ful of the interests of his constituents
and was on the right side of every
question that effected the welfare of
the state. Upon his record Mr.
SCHOFIELD can go to the people of the
county with an assurance of a re-elec-
tion by a larger vote than was given
him in 1892.
Mr. Ror. M. FosTkR, the new mem-
ber, is the youngest son of Capt. Rosr,
Foster who fell in defence of the
flag and his native soil st the
battle of Gettysburg. He was born
near the State College and was
brought up as a farmer. For
some years back he has been a travel
ing salesman, and in that capacity has
made a large circle of acquaintances,
and friends. He has the ability
and integrity to make an intelligeng
and reliable representative, and his
knowledge of the wants of the people,
with his disposition to do creditably
what he undertakes, will secure to the
county an other excellent and faithful
member in the next Legislature. His
nomination was a good one as will be
shown by the vote he will poll in Nov-
ember.
For Associciate Judge the conven-
tion gave us Hon. Tos. F. RiLey who
has so conscientiously and satisfactor
illy filled this position for the past five
years. To the voters of the county itis
useless for us to say aught of Mr. RiLey.
He is known to be one of the most
fearless, faithful and popular, officials
that has ever been chosen in the coun-
ty. The fact that he was renominated
without opposition shows the esteem
in which he is held by Democrats gen.
erally, and gives the assurance of his
re-election by an overwhelming ma-
jority.
The Jury Commissionership was
given to Mr. Josern J. Hoy of Marion
township, one of the wide-awake,
pushing and successful farmers of the
county, a wheel-horse of the Demo:
cracy in his section and a man
who does what he undertakes with all
the energy and earnestness of his dis-
position. His large acquaintance with
the people of the county, his intelli.
gent discrimination as to the fitness of
men for Jury service and his fearless-
ness in performing any duty imposed
upon him, makes him particularly tke
man for the place. The party can con-
gratulate itself that it has so good a
man and so worthy a candidate for the
position.
—Squelching Populist PENNOYER in
Who Favored the Sugar Trust.
There is something amusing in the
wail of the Republicans over the favor
which they allege has been shown the
Democratic tariff bill. Any one giv-
ing heed to this clamor would think
that the sugar schedule of the new tar-
iff bill, was the greatest outrage that
was ever committed in the way ot leg-
islation ; but the Republicans in mak-
ing a fuss about it ouly expose the
measure of condemnation thatis due
them for what they did for the Trust
in the McKinLEY bill.
How stands the account between the
two parties as to the amount of favor
shown the Trust? The McKINLEY bill
gives it the advantage of a duty of one
half cent a pound on manufactured
Sugar, or at the rate of 50 cents a hun-
dred. In addition it gives the Trust
the benefit of its raw sugar free of duty.
On the other hand the Democratic
tariff reduces the advantage of the
Trust by putting a duty of but the
eighth of a cent a pound on mauufac-
tured sugar, or at the rate of but 12}
cents a hundred. And further more it
imposes a duty of about 40 cents per
hundred on raw sugar. The latter ar-
ticle free of duty, as in the McKinley
bill is almost entirely for the benefit of
the sugar refiners, for consumers use
little or none of it. It is the tariff on
manufactured sugar that the people
feel, and the Democratic tariff takes off
three-fourths of the duty imposed on
that articleby the McKINLEY measure.
Now what conclusion is reached by
this comparison? If the Democrats
have committed a great offense in giv-
ing the Sugar Trust the benefit of a
duty of an eighth of a cent a pound on
refined sugar, what was the extent of
the Republican iniquity in giving it
four times as much ? It is but a ques-
tion of simple multiplication. And
yet the impudent rascals who are sup-
porting the McKINLEY extortion are
howling about Democratic favoritism
to the Sugar refiners, and even say that
that the Trust contributed to the cam -
paign fund of a party that has cut off
three-fourths of its tariff advantage.
The duty in the Democratic sugar
schedule is strictly a revenue measure,
and therefore is in perfect line with
the object of a revenue tariff. Every
cent derived from it goes to the gov-
ernment while most of the proceeds of
what are really protective duties is en-
joyed by the parties protected at the
expense of consumers. We would
have preferred dispensing with sugar
duties entirely believing that an in-
come tax is sufficient to make up the
deficiency resulting from the loss of
that source of revenue; but circum-
stances have been such asto induce
the retention of a duty on sugar, but it
has been so much reduced that it can-
not be said that its retention conflicts
with the Democratic promise of tariff
reform. In the case of a high tariff,
reduction 18 the realization of reform,
and that is all that the Democratic
party guaranieed. Free-trade tariff
smashing is a scare-crow invented by
the Republicans to frighten the igno-
rant and to deceive the unwary. Itis
not in the Democratic programme.
They Are Grieved About It.
After having thrown every possible
impediment in the way of the tariff bill
the Republican obstructionists in the
Senate acknowledge themselves beaten,
but they give up the fight reluctantly.
Hoar, of Massachusetts, whimpers
over it, he being greatly grieved that
the Democrats should be able to pass a
tariff bill in less time than it took the
Republicans to pass the MoKINLEY
enactment. This is a double grievance
to him considering the desperate ex-
pedients that have been employed to
prolong ite passage through Congress,
in comparison to which the opposi-
tion to the McKINLEY bill was moder-
ate in its methods. Yet the McKin-
LEY measure was oot passed until
nearly the close of the summer.
Hoar sniffled his regret in a remark
that Senator CampeN, of West Vir-
ginia boasted that ‘this tariff bill
would be passed in a shorter time than
any other tariff bill since the war.”
He admitted with evident regret that
this would be the fact, and ‘that the
Democrats were going to take the
credit of it on the stump.”
The latter remark lets out the whole
secret of the Republican filibustering
against the Democratic tariff. They
have been willing to keep the business
of the whole country in a State of sus-
pense and to prolong the general dis-
tress in order that they might be able
to go on the stump and say that the
Democrats could not pass a tariff bill.
But fortunately they have broken
down in this purpose and are forced
against their will to admit that while
it took the Republicans until Septem-
ber to pass MoKINLEY'S monopoly
measure, the Democrats enacted their
tariff reform bill in June, in the face,
Oregon can’t be counted as a Democratic | too, of the most desperate and unscru-
defeat.
pulous opposition.
The Issue of the Campaign.
The Democratic campaign in this |
State this year will have to be fonght
out on the issue with which the pas-
sage of a Democratic tariff bill will
supply the party. The Republicans,
by the declaration of their convention
plainly indicate their intention of
making McKiINLEYIeM their shibbo-
leth in the fight, and the Democracy
will not be backward in accepting
such a challenge.
The fact of having accomplished
the tariff legislation for which they so
long and arduously struggled ; the at-
tainment of such an end without im-
pairing a single interest of the people ;
the triumph of attaining it in spite of
an opposition that was willing to keep
business in a state of prostration in
order to prevent that Democratic
measure, and the orderly resumption
of industrial operations after its pas-
sage, giving the lie to the charge thai
reform tariff legislation meant ruin to
business, all these circumstance? will
be powerful assistants to a Democratic
campaign conducted on the issue of the
WiLsow tariff.
The material of the ticket should
conform to the advantage that is pre-
sented in the issue. There should be
no mistake in selecting the candidates.
They should be reliable and unques-
tionable representatives of tariff re-
form as embodied in the enact-
ment of a Democratic Congress.
The campaign must be an aggres-
give one—an assault upon the strong-
hold behind which the favorites of a
monopoly tariff have been so long en-
trenched in Pennsylvania. There
should be much talking to the people
and it should be right to the point.
There will be many exploded Republi-
can tariff lies to be held up to public
scorn, contempt and derision.
In such a contest, in which the ad-
vantage of the issue will be on the side
of the{Democrats, that advantage will be
greatly increased by candidates, on the
State ticket, who will be real represen-
tatives of the principles contended for
by the party, and who will command
its confidence and solidify its strength.
The party in the State has the mate-
rial for such a ticket, and we are confi-
dent that the nominating convention
will find it and present it to the
voters.
Governmental Agriculture.
It was questioned whether there was
a necessity for an Agricultural Depart-
ment, as it was thought that a bureau
connected with the Interior Depart-
ment was sufficient to serve the agri-
cultural interests. If, however, any
benefit is derivable from the depart-
ment that directs the seed business of
the government and devotes its atten-
tion to the various diseases that afflict
the cattle of the country, it is certainly
being furnished to the fullest extent by
Secretary Morton, who has not only
brought the business of the Department
of Agriculture down to a practical
basis, but has greatly reduced the ex-
penge of running it. By changing ite
methods without affecting its efficiency,
and reducing an unnecessarily large
force of assistants, he has in seven
months saved the handsome sum of
$383,000. His economical manage-
ment, doing all that is necessary to be
ata less expense, is in marked con-
trast with that of old Uncle JERRY
Rusk, whom everybody liked, but
whose management of the Depart-
ment was decidedly more picturesque
than efficient. -
The way that Secretary MoRrToN is
conducting his Departinent leads some
at Washington to think that by his
showing that it can be run effectively
at a comparatively small expense,
Congress may be induced to put it back
to its old position as a Bureau.
Bat it is not likely that Congress
will do anything of the kind. Con-
gressman have a decided partiality for
the Agricultural Department. They
thik it pleases the farmers to have a
whole department devoted to their al-
leged interest, an honor that has been
paid no other branch of industry, and
the honorable gentlemen would not
have it appear that they went back on
the farming interest by wiping out the
agricultural member of the Cabinet.
They are not going to do an act that
might offend a class that casts a
mighty big vote. Besides, the average
Congressman appreciates the advan-
tage of being able to go to headquar-
ters, where the seeds are kept, and or-
der a liberal number of packages,
bearing the label of the Agricultural
Department, to be sent to the farmers
of his ‘‘deestrict.”
We do not believe that Congress will
ever reduce the standing or curtail the
functions of that branch of the goveran-
ment. The farmer will stay in the
Cabinet.

scripton the WATCHMAN office is the

Stopped Only By Defeat.
While employing every expedient
to obstruct the passage of the tariff
bill, and being the actual cause of its
delay, the Republicans have censured
the Democrats for inability to expedite
tariff legislation. Now when their
dilatory efforts have been eventually
defeated, and it is certain that the bill
will be passed, those who fought it
with desperate and unscrupulous op-
position are beginning to claim it as
gomething of a Republican measure,
and after it has been in operation
awhile and the country has experienc:
ed its beneficent effects, it would not be
surprising if they should claim that
they passed it.
We already see the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin asserting that in con-
sequence of the bill being “as a whole
a moderate Protection measure,” and
the Democrats haying “abandoned the
most dangerous parts of their
tariff wrecking,” the Republicans
have desisted from their original
scheme of opposition. The fact is,
they continued their resistance as long
as there was a possibility of retarding
the bill, and ifit has ceased it is only
because they flod that their original
plan of opposition is bound to bea
failure.
This oposition did not spring from
any fear of ‘‘tariff wrecking” by the
Democrats, for no person of intelli
gence ever entertained the idea that
the Democrats wanted to wreck the
tariff, and there was not a Republican
Senator who did not know that the
Witson bill, even before it was
amended in the Senate, furnished all
the protection that the industries re-
quired. Republican resistance sprang
from a political motive. The interests
of that partly required that the Demo-
crats should not be able to pass a tariff
bill, and particularly ‘one that would
be satisfactory to the country. It was
solely for party interests that obstruc-
tion has been thrown inthe way, and
all the harm inflicted upon the busi-
ness interests by keeping the settlement
of the tariff question in suspense.
After fighting it to the bitter end it
won’t do for the Republicans to claim
credit for discontinuing their opposi-
tion. When their resistance stops it
will only be because they have been
whipped.
SETAC
How They Should Be Treated.
People of correct views can have but
one opinion in regard to the newspa-
per correspondents who have been pub-
lishing damaging charges against Sen-
ators and Members of the government.
Their statements involve matters of
great public interest, and therefore they
are not justifiable in withholding any
knowledge they may have concerning
them. After having impugned the
official character of high functionaries
it ill becomes a truthful correspondent
to plead that what he has published
was obtained from a confidential source
which he will not betray, and he is but
skulking when he shields himself be-
hind the liberty of the press.
An honorable man making such
charges would be eager to give his
authority. It being a matter of the
highest public importacce, his regard
for the public interest would prompt
him to make a full disclosure. He
would withhold nothing if the truth
were his object and the public good
were his aim. On the other hand, if
he is a mere sensationalist, or it he is
a partisan hack, writing to suit the pur-
pose of a partisan paper, reckless of
his statements and indifferent as to
whether they are true or not, his only
object being to injure the party against
which he is employed to write, he will
naturally and necessarily take just
such a position as that of the corres-
pondents who have been hanled up
betore the Senate, and claim that Aonor
forbids their disclosing the soarce from
which they obtained their alleged ia*
formation.
Now, when aoy one of the im-
pugned, by the secorrespondents, refute
the imputation, the refusal of these
writers to give their authority for the
charges they have made, simply
amounats to contumacy, which calls
for correction. Neither the Senate
nor the public should be trifled with in
this way. Statements for which au-
thority cannot be given must be re:
garded as falsehoods, and should be
punished as such. That is the way
ordinary newspaper publishers are
treated for indulging in unsubstantial
defamation, and newspaper correspond:
ents have no right to claim immunity
for such an offense.
A Commendable Restriction.
What a comfort it would be to this
conntry it other nations would adopt
| a8 sensible a regulation in regard to
| emigrants as has been adopted by the
| Japanese government. Japan has
! passed a law to the effect that none of
her people can leave her dominion
witbout a paesport, and no passport
June 30 to July 6 inclusive.
shall be given if the emigrants inten-
tion is to goto a country whose gov-
ernment objects to the influx of Japa-
nese laborers. This regulation not
only shows a regard for the feelings
of other countries, but also a degree of
self-respect that will not permit the in-
trusion of Japanese where they are not
wanted.
Such a regulation should commend
itself to the authorities of China whose
overflowing population is a danger, and
a nuisance, to countries that do not want
to be flooded with Chinese cheap labor,
or burdened with an undesirable race
of people. But the Chinese are not as
sensitive as the Japs, and are willing
to unload their superfluous hordes up-
on countries that most decidedly object
to their immigration.
It would also be commendable, and
a great advantage to this country, if
European nations would follow the ex-
ample of the Japanese and restrain,
from coming to our shores, the class of
emigrants who are not wanted here,
Bat instead of establishing regulations
that would prevent or limit such unde.
sirable immigration to this country, it
has been their policy to dump even
their criminals and paupers upon us,
in addition to their cheap laborers.
But it is a good deal the fault of our
own government that this imposition
is practiced, as no effective measures
have been adopted to prevent it.
——T'he fight between the two Re-
publican candidates for Judge in this
county has reached that point in in-
tensity and meanness of methods that
decent men should blush to have their
names connected with it. In fact,if half
that is said of either of these aspirants
istrue, by members of their own party,
neither should be considered for a
moment for the honorable and digni-
fied position of judge: The attempts

Goop 1F TRUE.—A short time ago a
tramp became sick at Lewistown with a
mild attack of smallpox and the board
of trade isolated the case and hired an-
other tramp to take care of him. As a
matter of course no one went near to see
how he was getting along and accord-
ing to tramp No. 2 in a few days No. 1
died. The board of health notified tramp
No. 2 to bury No. 1 and present his bill
for the same.
Tramp No. 2 followed directions and
presented a bill for $115 which was
promptly paid. It has since transpired
that tramp No. 1 was only sick for a
few days and that the scheme was con-
cocted by both to beat the borough. The
grave was opened and the coffin was
found to be empty, so Lewistown is
wiser if not richer than it was.--Philips-
burg Journal.

go to work on Monday morning next.
