Counting on the Crops for the Prom-
ised Boom.
The tariff mongers who, in compliance
with the demand of expectant beneficiaries,
got up the MCKINLEY tariff act of 1890,
were lucky in being favored by subsequent
circumstances. In the following year,
1891, our country was blessed with an un-
usually bountiful harvest. The wheat
crop, especially, was unprecedented in
quantity, while the yield of that cereal in
Europe was so much of a failure as to re-
quire far more than the usual amount of
importation. Russia, which is ordinarily
our chief competitor in the European grain
market, produced scarcely enough that
year to keep her people from starving,
while other European countries suffered
from insufficient production.
This situation produced a concurrence of
circumstances that gave our country the ad-
vantage of the largest exportation of agricul-
tural products that was ever known. Its
value in 1891 was $150,000,000 in excess
of our export in ordinary years. With
such a balance of trade in our favor, al-
most exclusively due to the product of the
farmers, we had the prosperous year of
1891 which the protectionists point to as
an example of the good effects of a high
tariff.
But the fact was that the class whose
productions made that year so prosperous,
were not among those whom McKINLEY
had protected. The country prospered at
that particular time because the farmers
were able to send abroad so great a quan-
tity of products that belonged toa kind
that can never be protected by tariffs.
When, however, the profits of that great
agricultural exportation were expended,
and the country, in the following years, had
to depend for its prosperity upon the
manufactures which the MCKINLEY tariff
were intended to protect and invigorate,
there soon set in a decline in the condi-
tions of trade which the farmers had
boomed in 1891. It took but a short time
for the highly protected manufactures to
overstock the market. In 1892 the over-
supply began to show its effects. The re-
duction of wages set in, lockouts occurred,
strikes followed, and in two years from the
time when the MCKINLEY act was passed
riot and disorder prevailed in many de-
partments of industry. The government
revenue became insufficient under a tariff
designed chiefly for protection, the public
credit, based on a rapidly depleted gold re-
serve, was impaired as a consequence of an
exhausted treasury, and the collapse of
1893 was precipitated as the natural and
inevitable result of such ‘conditions.
Thus it was seen that the prosperity
temporarily produced in 1891 by an un-
precedented foreign demand for our agri-
cultural productions rapidly yielded to the
ruin which it took but two years for the
McKINLEY tariff to bring upon the busi-
ness condition of the country.
We are led into this train of remarks by
our observing that the Republican tariff
makers are counting largely upon the as-
sistance which this year’s abundant crops
and the demand in Europe for our farm
products will render in bringing on the
prosperity which they have promised as the
result of their high tariff.
If the conditions which in 1891 so
greatly redounded to the advantage of
this country through an agricultural source
shall be repeated this year, they will most
probably contribute to the business revival
that has been so long looked for, but it
would be a fallacy to assign the improve-
ment to the tariff which the trusts and
other trade monopolies have succeeded in
jamming through Congress during the re-
cent extra session.
There is not the slightest probability
that this measure will increase the wages
of the working people, while it will cer-
tainly increase the expense of their living.
A great demand abroad for our farm prod-
ucts, with a consequent temporary increase
in their price may produce a boom that
will last for a brief period, but there can
be no substantial and durable prosperity
unless the working people are prosperous.
How they will fare under this tariff framed
in the interests of the trusts may be judged
from the wage reductions, strikes and gen-
eral labor troubles that followed the Mc-
KINLEY tariff of 1890,

Bryan Endorsed for 1900.
: CHAMBERSBURG, Pa., Aug. 3.—The
Franklin county Democratic convention,
held here to-day, was largely attended and
was harmonious in all its deliberations.
H 1 Huber, of Chambersburg, presided,
and this ticket was nominated : Director
of the poor, William Gamble, Metal 3 jury

The resolutions endorse ‘the Chicago plat-
form, say that William J. Bryan is the
logical candidate of the Democracy in 1900,
and close with a strong denunciation of
the Pennsylvania Legislature of 1897, which
18 said to he a dangerous and corrupt body,
unworthy of the confidence of their fellow
citizens.
How the New Tariff Works.
From the Gettysburg Compiler.
A prominent clothes dealer and tailor in
Gettysburg says that the price of cloth has
already advanced under the new tariff. If
cloth costs more the people must pay more
for their clothing, and the increase goes
into the pocket of the manufacturer. This
is an illustration of how a high tariff takes
from the people to give to the favored few.

All Kinds of People Going After Wealth.
| Those Bound for the Klondyke Region Represent
Many Classes of Society.— Watkin’ Miller on the
Way.—Poet-Prospector Scorns the Idea that he
Cannot Make the Trip Overland Afoot. Incidents
of a Voyage North.
SEATTLE, Wash.,, Aug. 2.—On board
Mexico, July 27th.—‘‘Walk In’’ Miller
our artist calls our poet now. The fine
old man scoffs at the suggestion that he
should have taken the St. Michael route
to Dawson, and is eager to use his legs and
essay the Chilkoot pass. He makes vigor-
ous denial that ‘“‘Youth’s stuff will not
endure.”’ :
“Iam still young,” he tells us, ‘and
what the stontest among you dares I’ll not
flinch from undertaking. Age is not meas-
ured by the time we live.”
At the other extreme of years isa Ger-
man lad of 16, who is in the steerage, and
who smiles blithely when one speaks of
peril. Frank Kienberger he signs him-
self, and has been from the Fatherland
long enough for his cheeks to have lost
their roses. His manner is frank and
simple. He has no relatives in America
and no money in his pocket. The clothing
he wears is all he has, with the exception
of a pair of thin blankets. “I gets droo
out of sight,” he declares, wnich goes to
show he is picking up our language.
He surely had a touch of hardship last
night. He slept on the forward deck
rather than stow himself in the heavy
air of the steerage. I walked for
awhile about 1 o’clock. We were creep-
ing through Queen Charlotte sound amid a
chill fog, and the Mexico was rolling in a
way that had persuaded my room-
mate that he had urgent business at the
rail. With daybreak came rain, and the
mercury registered 60 degrees. The black
clouds hung like a threat over the gloomy
fir-covered hills on either side the nar-
row channel we had entered. I sought the
boy.
‘‘Goot vedter for tocks.’”” He was
smiling that good-natured smile pecu-
liar to simple-hearted Germans. His hig
blue eyes were smiling, too.
GIRL GOING TO THE KLONDYKE.
‘ Ermie Lessard is a New York girl,
whose parents settled in Tacoma a few
vears ago. She is 19, alone and bound for
the Klondyke. Let her tell her own
story :
“I’ve been working out—oh, ever since
I can remember,” she says, bending her
brown eyes on the water. ‘‘And there
seems no road out for me I mean, where I
can look up and breathe and he like other
irls.
2 “When I was a very little child I used
to look at the children of the well-to-do
and long and long for just a little of the
plenty they seemed to have, and then
when they were not kind and when I
my shoes or the made-over dresses I wore,
I stole away by myself and cried and
cried. But nobody knew it. I did not
break down when any one could see.
“Well, it has been that way ever since,
only it has been harder to face people as
a young woman than as a little girl. I
have no schooling worth mentioning, and
I seem to have so few things most young
people have that I grow very blue and
wonder why one person’s life should be so
mean well.”’
Her eyes wandered from the waves and
rested for a moment on the somewhat frayed
cuff of the old silk waist she wore. Then
the arm with the offending sleeve was
quickly drawn under the thin cape whence
it had flung itself when the mind was look-
ing backward.
“I have worked hard, but I don’t know
anything thoroughly, and I have to give
my earnings to others who have grown
discouraged. You know [ am not bright
and I’m sure I’m not pretty and getting so
that I must do something right off if I
expect ever to learn anything or be any-
thing. I suppose I could marry, but the
only men who would have me I’d rather
pass by. When I read about the gold
miners I made my mind up to go there if
I could get money enough to pay my
fare.”
SHE MAY TAKE UP A CLAIM.
So going there she is a strange passen-
ger. She had been employed as a house-
maid and can do cooking after a fashion.
Her notion is she can join some party in
which women are traveling and work her
way to the Yukon.
“Once there,’” she continued, “I think
I can hold my own. I can get work with
some family and make more in a year than
I could make in a lifetime on the sound.
Besides, maybe I can take up a claim and
make a fortune. Oh, if I were a man
what could Ido! I've always wished I
were a man. It is so hard for a woman to
pull along when she’s poor and awkward.”
And Miss Ermie really is awkward, but
she seems to be an honest girl and have
more brightness than she thinks she has.
One could wish however that she were not
going to the Klondyke by the Chilkoot
pass.
“I know my folks would not let me go,”
she explained. ‘They didn’t know I was
to go. I wrote them a note and slipped
away. If I come back rich, they’ll not he
sorry, and if I don’t, well’,——
This is a day’s incidents. First came
the rain ; then when the sun peeped
through the clouds we had a burial at sea.
One horse had the ill manners to kick
another to death, and the late lamented
now rests many fathoms deep off the
Princess Royal island. Next we passed an
Indian settlement, looking for all the
world like a toy village surrounded by toy
trees. After that the cry of ‘a whale”
sent us all skurrying to starboard to see
one of Jonah’s friends lashing the water
with a tail large enough for all practical
purposes.
SCENES ALONG THE ROUTE.
Scarcely had the whale disappeared
when someone sighted four eagles cleaving
the sullen shadows cast by gray clouds
upon an island all forlorn. And now a
committee is about to wait on the captain
to ask him to put in to Juneau before mak-
ing the run to Dyea ; which is saying
nothing of the tuneless girl who is singing
Spanish love songs with a voice God in-
tended for a fog horn.
The wind is rising and we are winding
in and out of narrow places and tiny
sounds dotted with rock islands clothed
with stunted firs. The water is black and
suggests tar, and if this letter is to go
ashore on Mary islands for transmission
southward by the next steamer tar must
be the last thing written of to-day.
Pewderly to Qualify To-day.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—Terrence V.
Powderly, of Pennsylvania, who succeeds
Mr. Stump, of Maryland, as commissioner
general of immigration, has notified the
secretary of the treasury that he will be at
the departmeut to-morrow morning pre-
pared to qualify and assume the duties of

Machines to Blow Glass.
Several Hundred Men Will be Displaced at Mun-
cie, Ind.—Glass Jars Soon to be Wholly Used.
MuNciIE, Ind., Aug. 1.—Ball Bros., fruit
jar manufacturers, confess that they are
soon to equip their factories with machines
to blow jars, and notices have been sent to
200 blowers that their services will not be
needed during the season that begins Sep-
tember 1st. Only one of the big factories
owned by the company here willbe
equipped with the machines this season,
but next year the old process of blowing
will be entirely discarded by this firm, and
several hundred blowers, who make from
$6 to $10 per day, will be out of work.
Frank C. Ball, president of the company
to-night stated that the introduction of the.
machine was not for the purpose of dis-
placing the men, but that it would make a
much better jar and at such a cheap cost
that jars could take the places of the tin
cans and earthenware jars. He said the
firm’s business -would spread out to all
parts of the world, and in a short time
more than double the number of present
workmen would be employed. He seemed
convinced that this jar would find many
new friends for usage.
The patent for blowing glass was pur-
chased by Ball Bros. from the United
States glass company, and the firm has in-
vented a machine for making fruit jars and
have it patented. The machine is to glass
blowing the same as was the sewing ma-
chine, spinning jenny, the self-harvester
and other revolutionizing machines, and
promises to disrupt one of the strongest la-
bor organizations in the country. Glass
blowers are sad at the introduction.
Eagles Mere Chautauqua
Fine Weather, Fine Progress, and Fine Large Crowds.
The weather at Eagles Mere at the pre-
sent time, and we hope it will continue, is
just the kind that every one has been wish-
ing for. The Chautauqua is forging right
ahead and the excellent programs that are
being given there every day and evening
delight the large and intelligent audiences
that fill the large amphitheatre at every
performance. f
There is no finer in the State than Eagles
Mere or better fitted to boating and bathing.
The temperature of the water is about 70 to
75 degrees F. all the time during the season,
and the beach is a stretch of nice white sand
and the water ranges in depth from two to
eight feet, gradual descent. Plenty of
boats can be secured if you do not own one
of your own. This fine lake is only a min-
utes walk from the elegant Chautauqua
grounds. Good intresting programs every
day during the entire assembly.

SoME RIPE FRUIT WAS PLUCKED.—
During the exhibition of the Wallace
shows, in Lock Haven, last ‘Tuesday, a
gang of sharpers, who were traveling with
the circus plucked some of Clinton county’s
ripest fruit. They had the old perfume-
mysterious envelope game going in the side
show and various of the gullible bit for
amounts ranging from $105 down to $1.
It seems that no matter how often news-
papers warn the public against such sharp-
ers there are always a few smarties who
are willing to try to beat the fakir at his
own game. The saddest part of it all is that
they invariably squeal when they get burnt.
It was unfortunate that the sharpers re-
turned a part of the money they fleeced
from the lambs Gown there and the authori-
ties would have been doing the right thing
if they had insisted on its not being re-
turned.
When a man goes to buy a brass band,
wagon and all, for 25cts. and ventures
hundreds on an empty envelope he deserves
to lose. If, however, he should win he
would pat himself on the back and swell
up like a toak, declaring: What a slick

Two BARNS DESTROYED BY LIGHT-
NING.—As the thunder storm that played
such havoc about here, on Wednesday
evening, swept down Bald Eagle valley
far more serious damage was wrought.
In the vicinity of Howard the large
farm barn of William Shank was struck
by lightning and burned to the ground,
with a loss of all of this season’s crops.
Just west of Eagleville, near the Crider
farm, the barn on the property of James
Gunsallus was struck and burned. The
loss there included all the grain and hay,
but the stock was saved.
A VIOLENT THUNDER STORM STRUCK
BELLEFONTE.—The violent storm that
passed over this place Wednesday evening
did little damage to property, yet the
lightning was frightful enough to strike ter-
ror to many hearts. A bolt ran into the
Bush house, on the electric light wires, and
kept those who had sought shelter in the
office dodging a veritable shower of sparks.
One of them fell into the hotel um-
brella stand that was full of umbrellas
and set them afire. Fortunately a small
boy noticed the conflagration before more
than two of them had been burned up.
The electric current from the same holt
ran into the agent’s office at the Pennsylva-
nia passenger station and for awhile Harry
Hutchinson and Domineck Judge, its sole
occupants, thought the whole building had
collapsed. Harry was slightly stunned
and the lightning arresters were twisted
around in had shape.

of Centre Hill, left for Orangeville, Il1.,
yesterday morning. After a short visit with
friends there, they expect to go on to Min-
nesota and will be gone until Sept. 1st.
Wednesday was picnic day at Centre Hall,
and the affair was attended, generally, by all
its good people. The gathering was the
united efforts of all the Sabbath schools of
town and the place selected for the day was
the pretty little woods adjoining the dwel-
ling of John Conley, near the borough
limits. The attendance was unusually large
and the day was spent in a most enjoyable
way. The rticipants feasted in many
| ways, but perhaps that portion of humanity
| termed ‘‘the inner-man’’ was most gratified,
and yet there was enough of life’s necessities
taken over from the woods to feed the coun-
ty’s poor for many days.
During the afternoon Revs. Eisenberg,
Boal and Rearick made very brief and in-
teresting addresses. Misses Mame Kreamer,
Emilie Alexander and Tacy Kreamer
sang several selections much to the gratifica-
tion of the hearers, and little Grace Boob
recited in good style.
