Aaron Williams for Congress.
The action of the 28th congressional
district conferees, in convention at
Ridgway last Thursday, in nominating
Aaron WiLriaus Esq., of Centre coun-
ty, has given much eatisfaction to the
Democrats of this section. Mr. WiL-
LIAMS is & mao every day of whose life
can be laid open to public inspection
without ‘fear 'of leaving an unfayor-
able impression.
He will prove a great strength to the
ticket in this county and when the
purity of his character becomes known
throughout the district he will com-
mand the vote of every Democrat in it.
Having been born and raised on a
farm and his early life spent in lum-
bering he experienced many hardships.
But the energetic nature he possesses
goon led him to the study of law. He
became a student under the late Jorn
H. Orvis and was admitted to the bar
in 1869.
He has always been ‘more or less
prominent in the politics of the county.
His party having twice elected him
Prothonotary and though connected
with no particular element he will find
this a great strength in his campaign
as all will unite harmoniously on
him.
Mr. WiLLiaMs is a man who has
been eminently successful. His life is
a record of what untiring energy will
do. He is honest to a fault and if
everyone is not his friend it is certain-
ly because they have not been able to
recognize the high sense of honor he
cherishes. He is safe from the attacks
of the opposition. His character is
irreproachable and his straightforward
manner of doing business in private
life amply qualifies him for the duties
of the office he aspires to fill.

The Income Tax,
The enemies of the income tax find |
considerable satisfaction in the belief
that the tax, as provided for by the
new tariff law, cannot be enforced on
account of the want of an appropria-
tion to put the machinery for its assess-
ment and collection in operation, But
they are going to be disappointed in
their expectation that it will fail. ~Al-
though there appears to be no special
fund set apart for the purpose, the
treasury officials say that the money
required will be forth coming. There
may be a temporary deficiency, but it
is idle to suppose that an emergency,
involving a matter of sach importance,
will not be successiully met.
The policy of raising a portion of the
public revenue by taxing incomes has
probably been permanently incorpo
rated in the tax system of the general
government. Its fairness is generally
recognized and for that reason it is
popular. It is opposed chiefly by a
class who, although abundantly able
have not been contributing their just
share to the public revenue. It 18
proper ‘that they should be made to
pay according to their means, and that
the people at large should be propor-
tionably relieved of the unequal burden
imposed upon them by tariff taxation,
The people recognize the equity of
such an arrangement, and there is no
doubt that they will ‘insist that the
taxation of incomes ehall remain a
part of the federal tax system.

ed with the new tariff bill than the
" manufacturers of woolen goods.
= some years past, notwithstanding the
Anticipating the Benefit.
Nobody has more reason to be pleas-
For
supposed protection of a high tariff,
their industry has been languishing
but a supply of their most necessary
raw material free of tariff cost will
give them an advantage that will
greatly stimulate and improve their
business.
On this subject M.r. ROBERT
BLEAKIE, one of the most prominent
woolen manufacturers of New Eng-
land, says :
«I am well pleased with the tariff bill just
passed as affecting wools and woolens. As a
result of this bill I predict a degree of pros-
perity permanent and lasting to New Eng-
land's woolen industry.’ ‘And this because we
will now get our raw material upon the world’s
market yalue, placing us upon a level for pro-
ducing results with our foreign competitors
and with the further sateguard of protection,
in an ad valorem duty of forty to fifty per
cent. upon the output of our mills. I feelsure
that within three years from the enactment
of the present bill public opinion will have so
changed from the beneficial effects that will
be apparent that it will be difficult to find a
woolen manufactarer in the country who will
not be a convert to the new order of things.
There are very few woolen manufac-
turers who were not long ago convine-
ed of the benefit that free wool * would
be to their industry, but they were dis-
posed to forego this advantage in or-
der not to disturb the high tariff sye-
tem which places heavy duties on
manufactured woolen goods. That
they were not greatly benefited by this
arrangement is shown by the depressed
condition of their manufacture under
the highest Republican tariffs. The
new tariff considerably reduces the
duty on woolens, but this will be more
than made ap by the diminished cost
of their raw material, with the result
that not only will the manufacturers
be benefited, but consumers will be
supplied with cheaper woolen goods,
and better, too, as the pure wool al-
lowed to come in untariffed, will drive
out the McKinLEY shoddy which has
formed so large a - part of American
woolen fabrics under Republican tar-
iffs.
Mr. BLEAKIE may well say that with-
in three years time there will not be a
woolen manufacturer who will not be
satisfied with the new order of things
and it is not too much to expect that
the wool raisers, the men who have
been kicking against free wool in spite
of the fact that they never got so low
a price for their product as under the
high protection of the McKINLEY tar-
iff, will also be satisfied with the free
wool arrangement, finding that the
impetus which it will give to woolen
manufacture will have a resultantly
beneficial effect upon their interest as
domestic wool producers.
A Lie About the Effects of Free Coal.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, a leading
Republican organ of the west indulges
in mere partisan rant whea it says
that the removal of the duty on bi-
tuminous coal “would carry poverty
and misery into the cottage of every
miner in Iilinois.” The paper that
makes this assertion knows that it is
saying what is not true and is talking
only for political effect. The cost of
carrying the imported coal from the
sea board to any of the points in the
west where coal is used would prevent
any appreciable amount from being
taken there. ‘Free coal, however, land:
ed in the ports of New Eogland,
would greatly relieve the manufacturers
and promote the industries of that sec-
tion, and the removal of the coal tariff
would be a great advantage to the peo-
ple of California, who, while they are
unable to get the coal of our eastern
Stateson account of the cost of carrying
it across the continent, are compelled to
pay an unnecessary aud oppressive
duty on the fuel they are compelled
to imwport from British Columbia—a
duty that does not protect a pound of
coal anywhere in the United States.
The coal that would be imported in-
to this country, with the tariff off,
would be almost exclusively bitumi-
nous from Nova Scotia, the coal of
England and other European countries
beiug too dear for successful importa-
tion. Nova Scotia is part of the
Canadian provinces into which 988,-
605 tons of American bituminous
were taken last year, with a probabie
increase this year, although the Cana-
dian tariff on it is 60 cents a ton ; but
even with this tariff charge, American
coal ischeaper for the interior districts
of Canada than the Nova Scotia coal,
the free importation of which into this
country the Chicago paper says will
reduce the miners of Illinois to starva-
tion.
Itis this kind of rot that is brought
to bear upon the minds of the gullible
whenever it is proposed to reduce ex-
cessive tariff duties, producing false
impressions which can only be correct.

Democratic tariff.

The Wilson Bill a Law at Last.
| 1 Went Into Eject Monday at Midnight With-
out the President's Signature--Prices are
Bound to Come Down.—Customs Receipts to be
Spoodity Increased. It will stop the Outflow of
old. EY
W ASHINGTON. . Aug. 27.—With all
its sins of omission and commission still
upon it, the new tariff bill became the
law of the:land at midnight Monday.
When the customs houses throughout
the country opened for business Tues-
day morning. Uncle Sam’s collectors
and their army of deputies found them-
selves assessing new rates of duty on the
thousand and one articles of foreign pro-
duction and manufacture which seek
buyers in the United States. And in
justice to the new law it must be said
that with scarcely an exception the new
rates of duty which were assessed Tues-
day were lower than the rates demanded
the day previous under the McKinley
law.
This is true of the thousands of im-
ported articles of daily consumption in
the United States, and if consumers
watch the markets closely they will be
able in a few weeks to notice the practic-
al effects of the reform of their in-
dividual purchases. Articles of foreign
make ought naturally to be the first that
will be offered to purchasers at prices
reduced in proportion to the reduction
in the tariff rates on them. Some deal-
ers may not be disposed to give their
customers the benefit of the lower tariff
rates, but it is only a question of time
when competition will force them to do
80.
In foreign woolen goods for both
men’s and women’s clothing, for in-
stance, there ought to be a noticeable
reduction in price without delay, be-
cause the competition among tailors in
every city in the country is sharp, and
will at once bring about a lowering of
prices in proportion to the reproduction
of duties, which range from 15to 50 per
cent.
But probably the effect of the new
tariff which will be noticeable soonest
will bein the custom receipts of the
treasury . department. For months
these have been very low, owing to the
disinclination of merchants to import
foreign goods while the tariff bill was
pending. Importers all over the
country have allowed their stocks of
goods to be reduced to the lowest possi-
ble amount on which they could con-
tinue business at all, waiting for the
new tariff law to go into effect with its
lower range of duties. They have been
however, giving their usual orders for
foreign goods, and thousands of tons of
these, ordered and shipped to this
country weeks ago, are now stored in
government bonded warehouses at every
port of entry throughout the country.
Under the interpretation of the pro-
visions of the new tariff law which Sec-
retary Carlisle has made, all these for-
eign goods in bonds can be taken out to-
morrow or thereafter by paying the re-
duced rates of duty. So to-morrow the
grand rush to get goods out for the fall
trade will begin. The result will be a
very heavy increase in the government
receipts from customs duties, which
probably will carry the aggregate of
revenues from this source up to im-
mense figures. This, at least, is the ex-
pectation of treasury officials, and there
seems no good reason to doubt their ex-
pectations will be realized.
But while the receipts from customs
will go up, the receipts from internal
revenue will go down, because to-mor-
row the whiskey tax from 90 cents to
$1.10 a gallon will go into effect. In
order to avoid paying this increased tax
great quantities of whiskey have been
withdrawn from bond in the last six
weeks, so glutting.the market that the
withdrawals from bond will be small
for some time to come. But the falling
off in receipts from this source will be
made up by the increased receipts from
the customs houses, and thus the
treasury will hold its own.
A probable feature of the increased
receipts from customs will be a rapid
rise in the now badly reduced gold re-
serve in the treasury, for it is expected a
fair proportion of gold will be used to
pay the duties. If this expectation is
realized, it will greatly delight the
treasury officials, who are much con-
cerned at the low figures to which the
gold reserve has fallen.
The cash balance in the treasury to-
day was $126,498,130, of which $54,969,-
805 was gold reserve. So far this
month the receipts aggregate $35,688,-
057, of which $24,586,113 was from in-
ternal revenue and $9,592,948 from
customs. The internal revenue receipts
the 10 days in which the president has
had the tariff bill in his possession
amounted to $19,053,759. The expend-
itures this month amount to $27,589,000
leaving a surplus of about $8,000,000
for the month to date.
WASHINGTON, August 27. —Presidert
Cleveland has written the following let-
ter to Representative Catchings, of Mis-
sissippi, in which he sets forth his views
of the new tanff law, and gives his rea-
gons for not approving the bill :
EXECUTIVE MANSION, }
WASHINGTON, August 27, 1894.
“How. T. C. CarcHiNgs—My Dear Sir:
Since the conversation I had with you and Mr.
Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago in regard to
my action upon the tariff bill before me, I
have given the subject further and most se-
rious consideration. The result is I am more
settled than ever in the determination to allow
this measure to become a law without my
signature.
“When the formation of legislation, which
it was hoped would embody Democratic ideas
of tariff reform, was lately entered upon b
congress, nothing was further from my aniei-
pation than a result which I could not
promptly and enthusiastically endorse.
“It is therefore, with 8 feeling of the utmost
disappointment that I submit toa denial of
this privilege.
“I do not claim to be better than any of my
arty, nor do I wish to avoid any responsi-
ility which, on account of the passage of this
law I ought to bear as a member of the demo-
cratic organization. Nolhor will I permit
ir yself to be separated from
an extrent as might be implied by my veto of
! tariff legislation which, though disappointing,
| is still chargeable to democratic effort.
But
there are provisions in this bill which are not
in line with honest tariff reform, contains in-
consistencies and crudities which ought not
| to appear in tariff laws or law of any kind. Re-
sides there were, as you and I well know, in-
| cidents accompanying the passage of the bill
' through congress which made every sincere
tariff reformer unhappy, while influences sur
rounded it in its latter stages and interfe ed
with its final construction, which ought not to
be recognized or tolerated in democratic tariff
reform counsels.
“And yet notwithstanding all its vieissi-
tudes and all the bad treatment it received
at the hands of pretended friends, it presents
a vast improvement to existing con-
ditions. It will certainly lighten many tariff
burdens that now rest heavily upon the people.
It is not only a barrier against the return of
mad protection, but it furnishes ‘a vantage
ground from which must be waged further ag.
y party to such !
gressive operations against protected mono-
poly and governmental favoritism. I
«T take my place with the rank and file of |
the democratic party who believe in tariff |
reforin, and who know what it is, who refuse |
to accept the results embodied in this bill at |
the close of the war, who are not blinded to
the fact that the livery of democratic tariff re-
form has been stolen and worn in the service!
of republican protection; and who have mark-
ed the places where the deadly blight of
treason has blasted the counsels of the brave
in the hour of might. :
“The trusts and combinations—the com-
munism of pelf—whose machinations have
prevented us from reaching the success we
deserved, should not be forgotten nor torgiv-
en. We shall recover from our astonishment
as their exhibition of power, and if the ques-
tion is forced upon us whether they shall sub-
mit to the free legislative will of the people’s
representatives, or shall dictate the laws
which the people must obey, we will accept
and settle that issue as involving the integ-
rity and safety of American institutions.
“] love the principles of true democracy,
because they are founded in patriotism and
upon justice and fairness toward all interests.
I am proud of my organization, because it is
conservatively sturdy and persistent in the
enforcement of its principles. Therefore, I
do not despair of the effort made by the house
of representatives to supplement the bill al-
ready passed by further legislation, and to
have engrafted upon it such modifications as
will more nearly meet democratic hopes and
aspirations.
“I cannot be mistaken as to the necessity of
free raw materials as the foundation of logi-
cal and sensible tariff reform. The extent to
whieh this is recognized in the legislature al-
ready secured is one of its encouraging and
redeeming features ; but it is vexations to re-
call that while free coaland iron ore have
been denied us, arecent letter of the secretary
of the treasury discloses the fact that both
might have been made free by the annual
surrender of only about $7,000,000 of unneces-
sary revenue.
“I am sure that there is a common haoit of
under-estimating the importance of free raw
materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding
them as only related to concessions to be made
to our manufacturers. The truth is their in-
fluence is so far reaching that if disregarded a
complete and beneficent scheme of tariff re-
form cannot be successfully inaugurated.
“When we give to our manufacturers free
raw materials we unshackle American enter-
prise and ingenuity and these will’ open the
doors of foreign markets to the reception of
our wares and give opportunity for the contin-
uous and remunerative employment of Ameri-
can labor.
“With materiale cheapening by their free:
dom {rom the tariff changes the most of their
roduct must be correspondingly cheapened.
hereupon justice and fairness to the consum-
er would demand that the manufacturers be
obliged to submit to such a readjustment and
modifications of the tariff upon their finished
goods as would secure to the people the bene-
fit of the reduced cost of the manufacture, and
shield the consumer against the exaction of
inordinate profits.
“It will thus be seen that free raw materials
and a just and fearless ISrtation of the tariff
to meet the changed conditions, would carry
to every humble home in the land the bless-
ings of increased comfort and cheaper living.
“The millions of our countrymen who have
fought bravely and well for tariff reform
should be exhorted to continue the struggle,
boldly challenging to open warfare and con-
stantly guarding against the treachery and
half-heartedness in their camp.
“Tariff reform will not be rated until it is
honestly and fairly settled in the interest and
to the benefit of a patient and long suffering
people. Yours very truly,
¢ GROVER CLEVELAND.”
Second Session of Congress Is now End-

The Last Act Was Witnessed at Washington on
Tuesday. — A Commonplace Performance:
Nothing of an Interesting Nature About thé
Windup of a Session of Nine Months in Dura-

Clerk t o Announce Final Adjournment.
W asaiNgToN, Ang 28.—The last act
in the great legislative spectacle that
has attracted the attention of the
whole country for the last nine months
was performed in the senate chamber
to-day, and was the least interesting
and most commonplace performance
that ever closed a long session in that
body. Although there were only two
hour assigued to it, there were no less
than three recesses taken within that
time, as a recource against the weari-
ness and dreariness of the occasion,
and, when the vice president made his
farewell speech and declared the senate
adjourned without delay, the speech
and the declaration were heard by on-
ly twenty senators. All the rest had
vanished, either to their homes, to
watering places or to distant countries
CLOSE IN THE HOUSE.
W AsHINGTON, Aug. 28.—In accor-
dance with the terms of the joint reso-
tion adopted last Friday the house at
2 o'clock to-day was adjourned for the
second session of the Fifty third con-
gress without day. The announce.
ment was made by Speaker Crisp with
no ceremony whatever, and it inter-
rupted the reading clerk, as he was
making his way through the text of the
Hoar anti lottery bill, consideration of
which had been asked tor by Mr. Ter-
ry, Democrat, of Arkansas, just two
minutes before the hour fixed for ad-
jourzment.
The last act in the drama of the ses-
gion had been preceded by the usual
wearisome wait for the retarn ot the
committee appointed to wait upon the
president to notify him that congress
was ready to adjourn and ask if he had
any further communication to make.
The wait, however, was partly occu-
pied in taking a vote by tellers upon
the passage of the resolution reported
vesterday, authorizing the printing of
60,000 copies of the comparison of the
rates of the tariff bill with those of
previous bills. The point of no quorum
had been made by Mr. Johuson, Demo-
crat, of Ohic, who was opposed to tie
resolution, and failing to get a modifi-
cation so as to enable Chairman Wil-
son to add anything he desired in the
way of explanation to the comparisov,
he insisted upon his point. This fore-
ed a withdrawal of the resolution.
Several efforts were made to secure
the accomplishment of desired legisla-
tion, but the only proposition which
met unanimous approval was that to
print 3,600 copies of the digest and
rules for the second session.
The ceremony of dissolution was
briet but effective. With his band np-
on the gavel, Speaker Crisp said : “The
hour of 2 o'clock having arrived by
virtue of the authority of a joint reso-
lution, I declare the second session of
the Fifty-third congress adjourned
without day.” The sergeant at arms

elect delegates to the Democratic state
convention, to be beld in September,
which will nominate candidates for
governor, other state officers, candi-
dates for congress and members of the
legislature. At many places the con-
gervative voters abstained from voting
and probably the reform or Tillman
vote fell off one-halt as compared with
the vote two years ago. The Demo-
cratic party in thestate is greatly di-
vided and there will probably be two
tickets io the field in November. Sena-
tor Butler is an important factor in
preseat political movements and will
boubtless declare his purpose and poli-
cy in a few days.

Carrie Dying From PLEURO-PNEU-
MONTA. — Word comes from the wild
pasture lands of the Alleghenies that
numbers of cattle are dying from a dan-
gerous disease, known as pleuro-pneu-
monia. In one reserve, where catiie
are herded by Coleman & Fox, the
stench eminating from the decaying
carcasses i3 said to be unendurable.
Farmers who have cattle pasturing
on the mountains are considarably exer-
cised over the matter, as it will prove
very serious to them unless the disease
is checked.
At the direction of the State board
of agriculture Dr. F. Bridge, a not-
ed Philadelphia veterinarian, was in
Tyrone, Tuesday investigating the cause
of the death ofso many cattle on the
Allegheny mountain pasture lands.
Just what his finding was we have not
heard, but an old mountaineer says :
«During dry weather there are three
kinds of dew—mountain dew, honey
dew and ‘‘pison” dew. The eating of
tpison’’ dew is what kills the cattle.”
Advice received yesterday is to the ef-
fect that Dr. Bridge has pronounced the
epidemic Anthrax or Bloody Murra.
“Anthrax says the Tyrone Herald, is
caused by decomposition of organic mat-
ter. That is, organic substance under-
going decompositian under the influence
of the humidity of the atmosphere,
which furnish the miasma supposed to
be the cause of Anthrax. A high tem-
perature in favoring the evaporation of
moisture from undrained laad rich in
vegetable matter, or from marshes and
swamps, and thus exposing a large quan-
tity of organic material still further ac-
celerates its decomposition, and the pro-
ducts accumulate in the surface soil, the
air which the animals breathe and the
water they drink as well, perhaps, the
food they eat.” The above is quoted
from a volume entitled ‘Manual of Vet-
erinary Science,” and applies to the case
in hand, the pond and other marshy
places within the reservation furnishing
the miasmatic infection.
