William Krickboum held the oflico of
Clerk to the County Commissioners
for twelve years: ho was Frothonotarv
for six years, making eighteen years
of continuous office holding. He was
a candidate for a third term as Protho
notary, an applicant for tho office of
ueputy Kevenuo Collector, an appli
cant for Commisioners' clerkship, talk
ed of running against "W. H. Snyder
last year, and this year wants to be
sent to tho legislature. He is a pro-

Let every honest and earnest demo
crat in the county go to the delegate
election next week Saturday, August
11th, and vote for the men ho believes
to be best fitted for the several offices
to be filled. The offices of President
Judge, Representatives and Sheriff
are all places of 'responsibility, and as
a nomination is equivalent to an elec
tion it is important that everybody
should attend the primaries. Every
oiuxen is directly concerned in the se
lection of these officials.
Tho esteemed Press denounces "tho
idea sought to bo conveyedj in some
remarks by the Brooklyn Eagle "thot
the repeal of the internal revenue tax
on whiskey would interfere with the
operation of high license," as "either
discreditably insincore or grossly igno
rant" The esteemed Press has evi
dently forgotten that this Idea did not
originate with the Brooklyn Eagle but
was promulgated some time ago by
one James Q. Blaino in his falnous
"Paris message." Mr. Blaino said:
there is a moral side to it. To
cheapen the price of. whiskey is to in
crease the consumption enormously.
There would bo no senpo in urging the
reform wrought by high license in
many States if the National Govern
ment neutralizes the good effect by
making whiskey within the reach of
every one at twenty cents a gallon. .
. It would destroy high license at
once in all the States." Does the
Jfress mean to acouse Brother Blaine
of hypocrisy or ignorance. Times.
Four years ago William Krickbaura
wai a supporter of the republican can
didate for Prothonotary. Ho was a
candidate himself for the democratio
nomination, took all his chances before
the convention, and when he was de
feated ho sought rovengo by' lending
all his influence to tho republican party
and against the regular democratio
nominee. It was a matter of frequent
occurence to seo Krickbaura and Kin
ter in consultation during tho canvas?,
and tho Sentinel, Krickbanra's organ
at that time, boldly announced that he
was for Cleveland, Kinter and uform.
Krickbaura did not deny this at the
limp, because the announcement was
made by his authority and direction.
lie never did deny it until he thought
of being a candidate for office again,
and found that his bolting record teas
hunting him.
Four weeks ago tho same charge
was again printed in tho Catawisea
Item. It was not sprung upon him as
a campaign story, but he was given
abundant opportunity to disprovo it, if
possible. lie has not dared to cony it,
for he knows that the names of res

Two members of tho last board of
county commissioners made affidavits
that William Kriokbaum ottered
bribe for his aunointment as commis
sioners' clerk. Ono swore that Kriok
baum directly offered him $300 for his
vote, and tho other swore that a friend
of Krickbaums offered him 3100,
John B. CaBey mado tho samo charge,
and Kriokbaum sought to ovado it ly
saying that Casey did not mako any
direct ouargo against him, and follow
ed it with a threat saying, "Ho know
better than to do anything of tho
kind." and intimated that no would
have prosecuted Casey. The Cat a

said, "Now Willy, listen) you aro

tho charge was grossly libelous if un

WASHINGTON, July 30, 1H88.
Representative Springer has been
working very hard to get his Okla

Houso several times last week, but a

of this bill would be followed by one

with a sly wink, two thirds of them
would be democrats.

COLUMBIAN AND DEMOCRAT. BLOOMSBURG, COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA.
NOTES AND NEWS.
Tills REPU11I.ICANS MUSI RECKON WITH
THIS FACT A MASSACHUSETTS VIEW.
From the FprtnKfloId Republican, Rep.
In a party BetiBo tho nomination Is
perhaps tho shrewdest that could havo
been made. Thero would have boon a
certain fitness in tho choioo of Blaino
had not his own provioUs words for
bidden him to accopt with decency
1)1.!. ! .1. . .1 .1
tut uiniuu in uio uuimu.iiing personal
influence In tho party and tho author
of its avowed policy. But after his
two letters his nomination would have
so intensified tho personal objections
whloli defeated him beforo that tho
party would havo added a very heavy
risk to the burdons under .which it was
already staggering.
Tho issues aro now made up and
how do tboy standi The choioo is to
bo made, apparently, on two questions
tho tariff and tho general conduct of
administration. Un tho ono sido,
Cleveland's administrative record, with
tho prospect it odors in oaso of a sec
ond term; on tho other sido, tho degrco
of ability, honesty and cllicioncy to be
expected from Harrison with tho Re
publicans behind him. On the one
side, a reduotion of the tariff about as
proposed in the Mil 8 bill say an aver
age of 10 per cont; on the otbor Bide,
tho maintenanco or the advance of tho
tariff. Theo two points, wo think.
are whatisreally. involved. Tho section
al issue may bo appealed to, but wo
trust will bo left mainly iu tho back'
ground.
Tho Republican ptrty ban turned its
back on its own record, disregarded
the palpablo and crying needs of tho
situation, and allied itsolf with a com
pact moneyed iutorost as against tho
interests of tho people at large. It
bus dono this, wo believe, under the
partisan impulse to oppose whatovcr a
.Democratic l resident did or nroposod.
So against the Piesideui's bravest and
wisest act I bo call for a reduction
that should clear off tho surplus the
party, at air. lsiainos summons, threw
itself in bitter opposition. Tho cry of
"proieoiinn to uio Amtrican laborer
was oauuht up as a taking camnaiirn
catch-word. Wq believo tho Republi.
can stump speakers talk worse than
thoy mean, and that, wero iho respon
sibilities of power thrown on thorn, wo
should at least hear no more of raising
tno tariff, fiat they havo committed
themselves hopeh ssly against lowering
it.
On this question tho Democratio
party, for the first timo sinoo tho war.
has mado a definite, resolute, sagacious
advance on a great governmental ques
tion. It owes this advantage chiefly
to the fact whioh is tho party's ono
great merit in tho eyes of tho country
tno strong personality and command
ing leadership of President Cleveland.
He has shown himself an honest, able.
courageous ruler; Ho is not an ideal
ist, nor an uncompromising apostle of
reform: ho has conceded muob for tho
sake of controlling his party ha has
to orated at least a few very weak
spots in the administrative service
iiut he has proved a most skilful party
manager, and tho power which ho thus
holds he has in every crisis whether
confionted by an extravagant pension
in or tno nomination ot an Intor-stato
Commission or a Chief Justice used
straight for the good ot tho country.
And th6 country likes President Cleve
land very much likes him and trusts
him tho Republicans must reckon
with that fact
Prom the Alta California, Dem.
Thero is presout portentous and
actual danger in supporting Harrison
in this state. Tbo Republicans of this
State have before them an opportunity
to show that their anti-Chiuese zeal
has not been a pretonco. If thoy wish
to Bave their party in California from
absolute Jestruo'.ion let them reiect
Harrison and refuse to put an electoral
ticket in tbo field. The wholo state
will await tbo decision with interest.
Upon the issue of silver coinage Har
rison stands against overv nrinoinlo
and profession of his party in these
silver States, and his record is in direct
opposition to "tho national platform

tude of the coast far more closely than
Hairison, especially on the Chinese
question, and California would have
been far better satisfied bad either of
these men been ohoaen; but Harrison
comes from a doubtful State, and it is
of tbo highest importance that tho
party should carry it in November.
It is probable that his supporters have
given assurances that his vote as Sena
tor six years ago docs not represent bis
present attitude on tho Chinese ques
tion and that ho is sound on tho silver
question.

harmonize their freetraders, modorato
protectionists and' monopoly protec
tionists, and the Republicans of tho
Senate finally aoceptcd tho responsibi
lity ot formulating a bill only when
supremo political necessities demanded
it. Tho I'ress of yesterday gives the
following report of tho decision of tho
party loaders and tho masons thereof:
Iho conference ndioumcd at mid
night. No one, not evon members of
the finance committeo, venture .to
guess now at the length of tho pre
font session of Congress. Senator
Quay wi8 not at to-night's conference.
He was weariod by muoh travel and
remained at home. Senator Quay,
however; was among thoso who advo
cated the postponement of tho tariff
question until the next session. Ho
said, however, that it was for the
doubtful States to decide what Bhould
bo done in tho matter. It is therefore.
evident that those States which aro re
garded as pivotal States in tho next
election favored the course decided
upon to-night.
With a positive Republican pledge
given to the nation in-the platform of
1884 that tariff revision ncd revenue
reduction would bo favored by the
party, this is tho first attempt of tho
party leaders to fulfil thot pledge, and
then it is dono because thoy dare not
longer shirk the issue. Instead of
considering it as a business question or
a ..nn(:A t i 1 . 1.1.1.
a ijucbuuu ui niaiuaiuausinp, it is KlOK-
ed from post to pillar and finally sub
mitted t6 "tho doubtful States to de
cide what should bo dono in tho mat
tor." And how is party tariff revision to
be proposed? Sugar is grown in
Democratio Louisiana and it is to bo
out 50 per cent, which will not reduce
the cost to consumers, as importing
combines would modify or repeal tho
present rebate of taxes on sugar for
export. Rice i grown only in Demo
cratic Statps and it is tobo out 60 per
cent McKinley'g proposition to in
creaso the woolon schedule so as to
largely incrcaso taxes on many neces
saries is abandoned and tbo duties on
woolens and worsteds aro equalized as
thoy should be, but when that is done
our woolen industries will remain
practically unprotected, oven when tho
people aro taxed 68 per cent, above
aotual cost abroad, because tho high
tax on wool and raw materials is con
tinued. Instead of mooting this question as
statesmen should meet a great econo
mic question, tho demoralized Repub
lican leaders aro struggling to find
some sort of a tariff that can't pais the
nouse, and mat will quiet the demand
for tariff and tax reduction until after
the perils of the campaign shall be
ovor. In tho meantime tboy will
deceitfully ciy free trade against tho
nouse bill that gives tbo highest pro-
tectivo duties ever before known in
timo of peace, and the people will be
taxed a hundred millions or so for an
other yenr to cripple commerce, op
press industry and paralyzo our mills
and factories.
In order to recall tho Republican
Senators to their plain duty on tho tar
iff as thoy and their fellow party load
ers havo taught. on tho subject, wo re-
priui, mu uiimoniiions oi turoo ivepnD
lican Presidents and two Republican
Secretaries of tho Treasury against the
injustice and oppression of taxing raw
materials and maintaining high taxes
on tho necessaries of life. With those
patriotio admonitions wo givo tho man
ly speech of ono who died a Republi
can Vice President on tho subject of
free wool. Thoso expressions wero all
given in honest devotion to tho busi
ness and industry of tho country and
not inspired by tbo necessities of a
party contest i but they aro as wise
and patriotio now as thoy wero then,
and aro well worthy of sober consider
ation. Ah thn Republicans must now
mnvo in tariff revision and revenue re
duction, why not make an honest re
vision nnd reduction in no cord with
hones' Republican teachers and trust
an honest cause to nn honest poopleT
J'hila. IHrnes.

Let Labor Be Protected.
Tho Investigation now being mado
by a Congressional Committee is some
thing that ought to bo vory carefully
read by every Amorioan workman.
For years thousands of Italians, Hun
garians and PoIcb havo boon brought
to this oountry under contract, and tho
result has beou to practically displace
tho American from tho mines and
many other induitries.
This cheap Kuropnsu labor Is kept
in n condition of praotioal slavery.
After being hired out at prioos at
which it is almost imposdblo for nn
Amorioan to support himself, not to
Bbflak of keoping a family, tho con
tract laborer being unacquainted with
mu laws ot tue oountry becomes the
prey of greedy contractors and pad-
rones. An investigation by tho Phi
ladelphla "Record'1 shows that thous
ands of Italians oan be procured from
tho Now York padronos at from $1
to $1.15 a day. But with oaoh con
tract the padrone stipulates that ho is
to havo tho solo right of furnishing
provisions to the camp. This puts the
ignorant foreigner entirely at tbo
raoniy of his shrewd and unscrupulous
compatriot, and a percentage of tho
profits is paid to tho contractor iu
order tu keep tho latter interested in
shutting out competition.
It is this class of olieap European
tabor that has for years boen forcing
down tho prioes of unskilled labor all
over tho country. Tho raining and
ooko regions of Pennsylvania nro
flooded with Italians, Poles and Hun
garians. Tho American and natural
ized minor who is told that, tho tariff
protects him is no't only forced from
thn mines but driven from his home,
nnd, with his wife nnd llttlo ones, is
ooinpellod to sock work in tho bitum
inous miuos of Indiana nnd Illinois.
What a pioturo of ''proteotinnl"
Americans who havo positions in tho
counting houses, factory, foundry or
mill may think that this influx of
oheap contract labor has no effect
upon their positions or wages. But it
it oertainlv does. Most of the money
paid to this class of labor goes into the
pockets of tboso engaged in bringing
over ship-loads of undesirable immi
gration. A largo portion of tho wages
earned by tho imported laborers goes
to European and not American indus
tries. When sickness overtakes these
poor, ignorant foreigners neither tho
padrones nor tha contractors have any
use for them, nnd thoy havo to bo
supported by tbo people. Low wages
for unskilled labor has its effect upon
those engaged in tho trade. When
ever labor is plentiful wages aro cer
tain to bo low and tho highest tariff in
existence could not change this condi
tion of affairs.
Th Republicnns want to protool
tho American against cheap clolhinr.
cheap fuel, cheap medicines and give
mm eueap liquor instead. wnat tbo
wage-worker really needs is protection
against oheap labor and this he can
not expect so long as tho party that is
shrieking bo loud "protection to the
American workman" systematically
importing cheap European labor to
take bis place, whilst taxintr everv. nen.
easary of life used by tho wage-earner.

An Absurd Deduction. ?
donernl Harrison will not. hoi o him
self iu the estimation of intelligent vot
ers Dy tno puerilities to which ho de
scends in most of bis short speeches to
delegations. Puerile indeed is his ar
gument that because "American labor
ers are not Booking a better country
than their own," whilo emigrants from
other lands aro flocking to our shores,
tbereforo tho war tariff is a blessing.
There is not n bright school boy in
Indiana who dots not know that i mi
gration has turned to Amorica for tho
past forty yeors because hero there

mand for labor and a chance to "get
along in this world" because, as
Chief-Justice Fur.i.En eloquently sum
med it up, "mo Kepubiio is Upportu-
Iho tariff has about as much to do
with imigration as stump speeches
havo to do with the changes of the
moon.
In 1857, under a 20 per cent tariff.
and boforo any organized efforts were
mado to stimulato emigration, the
number of immigrants arriving in the
United States was 246,946. Iu 1847
under a 47 per cont tariff, the num
ber of iraigrants was only 141,857.
And from 1870 to 1880, under tho
same high tariff, the overage was only
150,000 a year.
There are a good many citizous
who would think it n sufficient reason
for a reduction of duties if tho hltrh
tariff is nully responsible for tho pie
sent excessive imigraiionr But the
truth is that as neither the Pilgrim
Fath"rs nor tho Cavaliers came to this
country for the blessed privileges of
being taxed to mako other people
prosperous, so the imigration has con
tinued, and wages have always beeu
higher hero than in the overcrowded
Old World, alike under high tariffs
aud low tariffs. And this would be
tho case if there wero no tariff.

HOW THIS l'COl'I.E ARE I'llEl-AIIINd TO DE
CIDE THE CONTEST.
Fro m the New Toi Ic Uerald.
The people of this country havo
coma to the cross roads in politics and
must choose which path thoy will take.
Tho ono leads to a distillery and a
station house, tho other to a woolon
mill and steady work.
Cheap clothing is worth to the poor
man almost as much as religion. It is
not luxury, but a primo iifcesity.
Hi very life hangs on his ability to
nurohaso a gool flannel thirt. The
health, and coiisiqui utly the prorpir
ity, contentment and happiness ot his
humblo homo depend on tho prico of
wool. With warm underclothing, raiu
women and children can resist the
dro d enomy of this climate, pneumon
ia. A glance at the statistics of mortal
ity will prove that proper clothing
plueed within reach of tho miner, tho
mason, the farmer, is next in impor
tanco to tho New Testament aud tho
Deolaratiou of Icdt prudence.
When the woikiug classes turn to
tho two political parties to discover
which is more thoughtful of their in
terests they mako this discovery:
That the Democrats would lower
taxes, cheapen tho prioe of tho neces
sarics of lite, start uii tho mill whm.u
that have boen rotting with disuso, ex.
lemi tno ivmorican market, make tho
demand for labor greater and increase
tho purchasing powor of tho work
man's wages.
That tho Republican would mako
taxes Btlil higher iu order to protect
and perpetuate a wealthy class, and
throw a sop to tho laborers of the
oountry in tho shape of frog corn luloe.
That Is tho truo and only lssuo In this
campaign.

A few doys'sinco, says tho Portland
(Me.) Aram, wo wero talking with nn

years as a. staunch Republican, and we
wero quite surpiised when incidontelly
ho hnpiionod to remark that ho would
voto for Cleveland at tho ooming eleo
tion. In answer to tho inquiry ho ro
plied substantially as follows: "Boforo
the anti-slavery lssuo I was a demo
crat. I wont off on that Issue and
havo voted tho republican tickot over
since, tsut that Issui has wholly ills
apeared, and Cleveland's nduvnistra-
ioti has demonstrated that it will no

tho tariff issue. On that I wns educa

no uiusii to doubt that it is tno truo
and bent wiy to piomoto tho welfare

nuhed millionaires. And, believing as
1 do, 1 cannot bo false to my convio
tions and as an honest man seeking
tho good of my country I feel obliged
to voto for Cleveland, and I shnll do it
as choerluliy as I ever cast a voto in

dent and I think many old democrats
who went off on tho slavery issuo will
