STATE RIGHTS AND FEDERAL UNION.
BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 10,
Its Revenue Capacity.
Netting up false claims and sticking to
them is the favorite tactics of Republican |
| politicians. Their entire tariff position is !
. based on this style of representation.
For example, it is their policy to repre- |
sent the MCKINLEY tariff - as a fiscal meas- |
ure that kept the treasury well supplied |
with revenue, while the WiLsoN tariff has |
produced a deficit.
Let us sce how this thing is. A lie, if |
stuck to, is said to answer its purpose as |
well as the truth, but this is the case only |
as long as its untruth remains unexposed. |
The fact in regard to the revenue qualities |
of the two tariffs is as follows : In the last
year of the MCKINLEY tariff the revenue it
produced was $131,813,531. In the first!
year of the WiLsoN tariff the revenue was
$152,158,617. This shows a difference of |
$20,310,086 of the WILSON
| measure,
During the three vearsand eleven months
[of MCKINLEYISM there was a treasury |
| deficiency of something more than $69,000,-
1000. This does not show very high quali-
ties as a revenue producer, or else there
must have been shamefully extravagant ex-
penditure of the public money.
Now let us compare the revenue capacity
of the McKINLEY tariff with the one im-
{ mediately preceding it, the tariff of 1883,
as it is called. During the first four years
of the ’'83 tariff there was an aggregate sur-
| plus of $384,000,000 in the treasury, or an |
average of $96,000,000 a year. It was un- |
der this tariff that CLEVELAND'S first ad-
ministration left a balance of over a hun-
dred million dollars to be squandered by
the HARRISON gang of treasury raiders.
This showing of the tariff of 1883 in the
matter of a treasury balance places in a |
in faves
|
|
|
| most unfavorable light the deficit of $69,-
000,000 with which HARRISON closed his |
administration under MCKINLEY'’S boasted
revenue producer.

Representatives? It bad record for
Massachusetts when a majority of her Con-
gressmen declare that a people struggling |
for their freedom are unworthy of encour-

lieve that the feelings of New England in
this matter were affected by the sordid |
| consideration of dollars and cents. They !
were afraid that their shipping interest
i might be injured by a war with Spain.
This is not the first instance in which
| sordid considerations prevented New Eng- |
land from taking a high national ground.

| of 1812 against the power of Great Britain
the Federalists of New England were sym-
pathizing with, and in fact giving aid and

How Congress Has Economized.
The session may continue until the mid- |
dle of May or the first of June to complete
the details of the appropriation bills; but
the amount that will be devoted to the |
‘numerous objects of Republican extrava-
gance for this year is announced by Represen-
tative CANNON as being about $506,000,-
000. This is already half of the billion
dollars that is fixed as about the correct
figure for a Republican Congress.
{Nothing could exhibit in a stronger light
| the inherent profligacy of Republican rule
than the immense aggregate of appropri-
| ations, although the greatest efforts were |
made by speaker REED and others to make
| a show of cconomy for campaign effect.
| REED tried hard to keep down expenses,
| not that he is less extravagant in disposi-
| tion than the rest of them, but he wanted
| to go before the people as a presidential
| candidate and point to the economical rec-
ord of the Congress over which he presided. |
Notwithstanding such an incentive to be |
saving of the people’s money, the rascals
| could not restrain themselves from dipping
into the treasury up to their elbows.
i If, when they have a purpose to effect by |
| curbing their disposition to squander the
| revenues, they can’t do better than this,
what is to be expected of them next ses-
| sion, when the presidential election is over,
, and campaign considerations no longer ve-
| strain their extravagance? They may |
{ probably make it a two billion dollar Con-
| gress.

The Truth About Wool.
The deluded sheep-raisers of the West,
who were induced by the calamity howlers
to send their sheep to shambles through
fear that free wool had destroyed their in-
“dustry, have reason to repent of their folly. |
| The domestic wool product has not been
injured by the importation of the free raw
material. There is as much use for Amer-
ican sheep, both as a source of wool and of
mutton, as there ever was, and as our
i woolen manufactures expand, under the in- |
fluence of a larger and freer supply of raw
material, the American wool raisers share
the benefit of this increasing prosperity.
Instead of killing his sheep the American |
wool producer must prepare not only for a
greater home demand for his produet, but
also for a demand from abroad. The
Wool and Cotton Reporter, of week before
last announced two shipments of American
wool that went from Boston to England,
aggregating 350,000 pounds. This does not
look like destruction of the American wool
industry by the free wool schedule of the
WiLsoxN tariff.
The fact is that the exportations of do-
mestic wool has greatly increased under
that tariff. During its first year, the ex-
port of American fleeces amounted to 4,-
279,109, while during the three MCKINLEY
years the average annual exportion was but
271,517 pounds. This American wool is
sent abroad because there is a profit in its
exportation, while the price of that which
is kept at home for manufacture is well
| maintained . |
These are facts which refute the asser- |
tions of the republican calamity howlers |

Will Spain Fight Us?
It cannot for a moment be supposed that
the delay in recognizing the rights of the
Cuban warriors was caused by fear of the
military power of Spain. The present Con-
gress is not a legislative body of a very
high order, but it is at least composed of
-American citizens, and it is not an Ameri-
can characteristic to be frightened by the
threats of foreign enemies.
When the proposition to recognize Cuban
belligerency was first sprung in Congress
Spain assumed a blustering air, and the
Spanish newpapers were quite plain in
announcing that war would be the result of
such an act. In effect the imprudent posi-
tion was taken that the United States had
not the right of acting towards the Cuban
rebels as Spain did towards the American
rebelsin our civil war. The assumption
was as preposterous as it was offensive.
The American Congress, after long delibh-
eration and
ed to adopt almost immediately upon the
breaking out of our southern rebellion.
We shall now see whether the Spaniards
will consider it an act that will require
from them a declaration of war.
In all probability they will have about
as much war as they can get through with
in Cuba, without getting into a scrap with
| another enemy, and particularly one of such
a size as the United States. However, if
the Dons think their honor requires them |
to fight us, let them pitch in, and it will
take but a few months for the Yankee vol-

C. C. ZIEGLER,
The Viper Shows Its Head.
From the Pittsburg Post.
The secret political society based on
arousing sectarian prejudices and hatreds
—otherwise the A. P. A.—is to be congrat-
ulated on coming out into the open and
making a straight-out and manly contest in
the American way. That is all the “pro-
tection’’ American institutions need at the
ballot-box. It will be found in such con-
tests, as has always been the case hereto-
fore, that the American people have little
sympathy with the notion of a religious
proscription as a political force. Tempora-
ry local successes for the narrow ideas of
the A. P. A., resting on a variety of causes,
are of little account. They do not reflect
the sentiment of the vast majority of the
American people, who are too thoroughly
imbued with sound American principles to
countenance the introduction of sectarian
issues in our political contests. As it was
with the powerful Know-Nothing move-
ment of years gone by, so it will be with
the same type of political folly and degra-
dation in our own day. Publicity destroys
its force, asit invites united efforts, hy
| citizens who are thoroughly and truly
American, to crush it out.
The A. P. A. in political contests is gen-
| erally found in co-operation with the Re-
| publican party ; never with the Democratic.
But there are many Republicans who, to
| their honor, repudiate the alliance. This
| was shown at the local election in Youngs-
town, O., this week. The A. P. A., hy its
effective secret methods, captured the Re-
| publican organization and named the can-
i didate for mayor. Independent Republi-
| cans united with Democrats in supporting
| Edmond H. Moore, the Democratic candi-
| date, who defeated the A. P. A.-Republican
candidate. The contest was very exciting,
nearly 8,000 votes being polled, the largest
ever cast in the city at any election. The
Republicans could probably have elected a
candidate free from the taint of 1c secret
son more important than the success of any
political party.

and her husband quarreled. Jane being very
mad when hostilities had temporarily ceased
packed her goods and some of those of her
“adorable” in two trunks, and left their
Pittsburg home on Saturday last, landing at
Altoona, where a telegram had headed her
off. She was arrested. Her sweetheart in
days of yore arrived at the mountain city
later. Two went into a committee of the

by some woodsmen on a Wallis Run mountain
side. The menwere returning from work
down the mountain side, when one of them
jumped upon an old tree across the path. The
mother bear at once started from her winter
lair under the tree, and ran howling down
| the mountain. The men then made an in-
vestigation of her nest and found two small
| cubs—evidently from five to eight weeks old.
