TO THE CITIZENS OF COLUMBIA AND
MONTOUR COUNTIES.
AN OPEN LETTER.
Owing to many misrepresentations
and falsehoods concocted and indust
riously circulated in regard to my can
didaoy for the office of President
Judge of tho District composed of
Columbia and Montour, I deem it pro
per to answer such as bavo come to
my knowledge.
First. My name was announced as
a oandidato in all tbo democratic nows
papers in Columbia county June 1,
lost past, and in Montour County.
Second. Ifrhad not been the cus
tom heretofore for candidates for judi
cial office to announce their names in
the column set apart for announcement
to a purely political oflice, and thero
foro my name was not thorein publish
ed. Third. I have not mado a personal
eanvass for the office, because I deem
it improper to do so because it tend
ed to lower the dignity of the position,
and debase it to a moro political scram
ble. I had and have more respect
for the voters and people of tho Dis
trict than to travel about and offer and
give them monoy to work, electioneer
and vote for me, and to take them my
self, or have someone else to lake
them to tbe beer Baloons and fill them
with drink; I have not gone about
the county shaking hands with my
demooratio and other follow citizens,
because I respect them as well as my
self; and not as has been most falsely
alleged against me, because I thought
or felt myself in any degree superior
to them or any of them. If I am
nominated and elected overy citizen of
the county will stand before me with
an equal right to tho protection of tht
law, and none will have any advant
age No man has beretoforo canvassed,
by personal solicitation, for the oflico
of President Judge of tho Courts, and
I trust that there may never be anoth
er such exhibition as is mado by my
present opposition. I havo not dono
it, and I will not do it, and prefer to
follow the illustrious example of those
distinguished gentlemen who havo
heretofore Loen elected to that high
office. Thoso who desiro to keep the
judiciary uncontaminated by political
methods will know how to choose, and
to them I commit, with great confi
dence, the result.

American Interests.
Tho Dem-icratio party believes that
it would promote American interests
to stop tho collection of a contin
uous Biirplus of 125,000,000 a year
and leave tho money in tho pockets
of the people who earn it,
The Democratic party believes that
it would promoto American interests
to take off the unnecessary taxes
from the food, tho fuel, tho clothing
and the shelter of American citizens.
The Demooratio party believes that
it would promoto American interests,
as against British or any other foreign
interests, to give our manufacturers
their raw materials free and thus enable
them better to competo in our own
market and in tho markets of the world
with competitors that now beat them
because not handicapped with taxes on
materials and machinery.
The Democratic party believes that
it would promote American interests
to secure steadier work at better watB
for American workingmen, instead ol
subjecting them to tho lock outs, shut
downs and strikes of the past dozen
years. It would do this by widening
the market for our products and thu
increasing the demand for them.
The Democratic party bulieves that
it would promote American intereste
to keep the control of tho Government
in tho hands that havo so successfully
admiuisjerod it during tho past three
years. jix.

WASHINGTON LETTES-
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Aug.
C, 1888.
Senator Faulkner, who has just ro
turned from his homo in West Virgi
nia, says Cleveland and Thurman will
carry that state by an increased major
ity. Members of tho national demooratio
committee, aro much pleased with the
outlook. They say tho committee is
in excellent trim for hard fighting, and
thoy express satisfaction that thoro has
been no leak in tbe committee which
speaks volumes for tho harmony exist
ing among its m embers.
A prrim'ncnt Uonnccticut democrat
said here to-day; "Tho Mills tariff bill

Connecticut is suro to yoto for Cleve
land, Thurman, and tariff reform.
Tho near return of "Jingo' Blaine
seems to havo a decided effect upon at
least two Senators of his party - -Riddlebercer
and Teller. Jingoism in
its worst form was indulged in by both
of them in speeches against tbe fisher
ies treaty. They fairly "wiped up tho
Moor of the Donate cbarruer with tno
mano of the British lion as they swung
that animal around by tho tail. 1 his
sort of demagogism is not likely to do
tho republican party any good with
tno thinking element ot the country.
senator (iibson inquired of Senator
Sherman whether the Sonato tariff
bill was likely to bn brought in next
week or the week after. Tho reply
was: "I don't know. No ono can
tell.'' Mr. Sherman was candid. His
answer furnished the real status of the
bill.
Senator Gorman returned from tho
meeting of the national committee just
in time to give that eminent railroad
attorney, Georgo F. Edmunds, who
also represents tho state of Vermont
in tho United States Senate, a good
dressing down. He reminded Mr. Ed
munds of the fact that be had been
tho paid attorney of railroads upon
whose interests he was to vote as u
Senator.
Representative Lawler of Illinois
says he thinks Cleveland will carry
that state.
Resolutions havo been adopted by
tho Senate for a select committee to
investigate tbe commercial relations
between this country and Dan ad a, and
for tbe Senate committee on interstate
commerco to investigate tho relations
of the Canada Pacific railroad, to our

President Cleveland's Ancestors.
A Nowbttryporl (Mas.) correspond
ent of tho Now York livening World
says that lUv. Stephen N. Cleveland,
a brother of President Cioveland, visit
ed tho parish of By field on Saturday
engaged in hunting up family record;!.
Though thoro aro nono of tho name
now living in tho place many of tho
ancestors of tho Clovclands onco ro
sided there, and from tho earliest set
tlement down to tho mlddlo of tho
present century tho family gavo to tho
world somo distinguished men. Cap
tain Ebenezor Cleveland was a bravo
officer of tho Revolution) Dr. Parker
Cioveland was a prominent physician;
Professor Parker Cleveland, LL. D.,
was a professor at Bowdoinj Nho
mlah Cioveland, LL. D., Preceptor at
Dummcr Academy, and John P. Cio
veland D. D., was President of Mich
igan University.
"Hurrah for Cleveland "
"Hurrah for Clovelandl" This-ejaculation,
coming from the lips of Colonol
II. F. Follows, President of the Spring
field Wagon Company, the largest
manufactory of tho klud west of the
Mississippi, was directed toward tho sur
prised oars of tho Now York Herald
correspondent at Springfield, lo., on
Sunday morning. Colonel Fellows
was one of tbo five Republicans of
Gnene oounty who dared to voto for
Lincoln in 18G0, and was a f.iw yoars
ago olecto 1 Mayor ou tho Roppblican
ticket.
"Aro you going to voto for Clove
landl" asked tho reporter.
"Yes, sir, as helweeu tho two tiokets
I havo no hesitancy. As a manufactur
er I endorso the Cioveland idea of tar
iff reform, looking not to my own in
terests atono, but to thoso of my om
ployes aud tho laboring men in Gen
eral. If a reduction of the tariff
would paralyze the industiics of tbe
country, as claimed, why don't the
Republicans allow tbo Democrats to
carry out freo trado measure, and
thus kill their pnrty? Tho fact is the
Republicans aro afraid a reduction of
tho tariff would enhanco tho prosperity
of the country nud redound to the
glory of th ' Demooratio partv. I say,
Hurrah for Cleveland and Thurman!"
Tho Republicans appear to bo run
ning this campaign on tho 1840 cry of
i.in! 11 tit. i ,
.iippeuauuu, wiin ino cnauge, now-
evor, trom "log o ibin and hard cider
to "log C3bin and temperance;" which,
to judge from their Convention, might
be better adapted .if it was "Mono
poly's mansions and free whisky."
A littlo volume entitled "Life and
Timo- of William .Henry Harrison," by
S. J. Burr, New York, 1840, came in
to ray bands during tho week, and on
consulting it I fouud a few discrepan
cies between tho attitude of the "Can
oeists" of '40 aud thoso of '88.
(1) Tippeoanoo voted in February
1810, for tho admission of Missouri
without restrictions regarding Blavery.
(2) In 1824, was elected to tho
Senate he brought forward a bill to
decrease the duty on salt, "it being a
necessary ot life.
(3) He established a distillery, but
afterward gavo it up, saying: ' In that
way I shall sin no more"
In the first placo, wo find that Tippo
canoa was not up with his successors
on tho slavery question. In the se
cond plaue, he was ahad of them on
, 'tariff reform." In tho third place, he
nave a moro sincere evidence ot his
uhango of hoart on tho temperance
question thau they lmve, with empty
platitudes on temperanco and a plat
form of freo whisky.
As to the Mugwumps.
Sinco the Chicago Convention tho
Mugwumps or tho Independent Repu
blicans who distrusted the civil
service reform professions of their
party, and who could not support Mr.
Blaine, have left no room for doubt or
misapprehens'on concerning t! o atti
tude in this Presidential campaign.
In tho current number of Harper's
Weekly Mr. George William Curtia
deCnes the position of that journal
with great clearness and force. In an
artiole in which he sketches the his
tory of the Republican party on tho
mention of protection he says that this
is tbe first time tho Republicans have
made a high tariff their political shib
boleth. Ho quotes tho declaration of
Garfio'd, "I am in favor of a protec
tive tariff that leads ultimately to freo
trade,'" and the raossago of Arthur, in
which the propriety of tariff reduction
is urged, fn further support, ot ins
position ho mentions tbe fact (hat
threo secretaries ot tno .treasury in
Arthur's administration Folger,
Greban and McCulloch woro all of
them strict Republicans and outspoken
friends of Tarilf llotorm.
In another article Harper's Weekly
declares that tho civil service reform
proffcsions of the Repnblioan party
are tbe merost humbugs. Tbo nomi
nation in 1881 of Blaine, in whom tho
polls system is persomhou, showed
how tho Republican party proposed to
realizo us civil service rotorm promises.
Blaine was tho embodiment of tho
nlatform of 1884, and, as tho Now
York Iribune claimed, he is also the
embodiment of tbo platform of 1888.
ISx-Senator uamson was nominated
without the least knowledge of his
nositlon on tho subieet. Whilo it can
not be dcoicd that President Cleveland
has not always resisted tho pressure of
Demooratio spoilsmen, Harper's
Weeklu asks: what would beoomo of
tho causo of civil service reform if pol
itlcians of tho JJlaino stripe should ob
tain control of tho Governnieutt The
deplorable fact that tho Demoorals aro
not true civil soryico reformers does
not make such out of the Republicans
Tho article concludes with tho declara
lion that tho adoption of tho Chloago
platform ai a rulo of in'crnal and fore
ign policy would bd an immeasurable
calamity.
The New York 7'imes and tho New
York JHoenina Post, which are deal
lug hoavy blows against tho Chicago
platform and tho candidates, have
beon joined by tho Commercial adver
tiser, which supported Blaino four
yo wago. The liigh tariff and freo
whisky platform was more than tho
suioeruser could digest, in JNew Kn
gland tho lloston Herald and Siirinir
field Mepublican are outspoken in tho
support of Cleveland nnd his Tarilf Ho
form policy. The Mepublican declar
es that no man who desires to move in
uood political society can attach him
JLtelf to the Republicans this year, and
that tho men of proper courage and I
Bagaolly will gravitate moto and moro
to ino oincr hiuo. io uiosc liiuuonuni
Now England newspapers must bo nd
dod tho Proyldcnco Journal, which
supported Blaino in 1881, but cannot
stand on tho Republican freo whisky
plalfor.ii, with its thin vuueeilng of
torapuraiiuu and morality. In the
West tho Mugwumps havo been rein
forced by tho Chicago Slants Zeitung,
tho most widely circulated daily nowB
paper in that region.
Thoso newspapers Btnnd at tho vory
head of journalism ia tho country, and
In undertaking to disparago their Infl
uence tho party organs only confess
nnd betray their own weakness.
Thero was a sneaking hope that the
Mugwumps might return to their
party allegiance if Blaluo should not
be nominated for President, but tho
elements that mado up tho Chloago
Convention and its reactionary plat
form, to say nothing of tho candidates,
put suob a movement wholly out of
tho question. Although Blaine was
not nominated, his spirit pervaded tho
Convention nnd controlled its notions.
Tho position of tho Mugwump news
papers plainly indioatcs that tho work
of disintegration in the Republican
party is steadily and surely going on.
Of courso it is impossible to estimate
tho political strength of a body of in
dependent voters who have no need of
leaders and aro without organization,
but aro hold together by common sen
timents in regard to current political
questions. The strength of tho "vest
pocket'' voters can not bo ascertained
until tho ballots shall havo boen count
ed, when tho regular parties may re
cogtiize the oxistenco of a forco when
thoy have hardly known or appreciat
ed. Men who know how thoy are
going to vote, and whut thoy aro vot
ing for, havo littlo occasion to biro a
club house or marching in torchlight
processions. As tho Mugwumps or
Independent Republicans inclined in
1884 tho victory was decided; and
thero are very strong indications that
thoy will turn tho political scale in
1888.
What tho Official Records Show.
WHAT Cl.EVELANKS ADMINISTRATION
HAS L'ONE FOIC THE SOLDIER AND
THE SOLDIERS WIDOWS.
For years, prior to tho accession of
tho Democratic party to National pow
er, one of tho stock arguments of tho
Republican press and speakers in eve
ry campaign, was, that should the
Dcmocratio party bo entrusted with
the administration of National affairs,
tho interest ' of Union soldiers in the
matter of pensions would bo seriously
jeopardized. Well, tho Demooratio
party has now been in power for more
than three years, and what do tho of
ficial records show has been dono in
tho way of pensions for Union sol
dieis, their widows, orphans and do
pendent relatives! Let us see. Let
us compare the now with tho old, as
shown by the official records of tho
l'ension liureau.
The annual reports of tho Commis
sioner of Pensions for tho fiscal years
1883, 1884 and 1885, show that dur
ing thoso years 108,121 original, 79,
2G8 increase, and 3,852 miscellaneous
certifioites were issued. Total claims
admitted during the last threo years
of Republican rule, 191,221.
The annual reports ot tho uommis-
sioner of Pensions for the fiscal years
18SC and 1887, aud tbo records of the
'ension Bureau for tho hscal year of
1888, (the annual report of the Com-
missioner for the last year not haviutr
yet been made,) show that through
those tbreo years 150,226 original,
181,173 increase, and 22,055 micellan-
eous certificates were issued. lotal
claims admitted during the first threo
years of Demooratio rule, J59,45a.
IZxcess of certificates issued by the
Democrats, 108,231,
NET INCREASE TO TENSION ROLLS.
The net increase to tho rolls during
the fiscal years 1883, 1884 and 1885,
was 59,428. Tho net increase to tho
pension rolls during the fiscal years
1880, 1887 and 1888, was 104,875.
Mzcess of net increase under Demo
crats, 45,447.
FUNDS DISBURSED.
During the fiscal years J883, 1884
nnd 1885, S183,399,210 31 was disbur
sod on account of pension. During
the fiscal year 1886, 1887 and 1888,
217,309,757 30 was disbursed on ao-
count of pensions. Evcess of Disbur
sements by Democrats, S34,000,541
01.
NEW NAMES ADDED TO PENSION ROLLS.
During the fiscal years 1883, 1884
and 1HS5, lUs.liJl oow names were
added to tho rolls. This includes,
however, the names of 15,996 now
names addt d to tho rolls by General
Black, from March 17, 1885, tho day
on which he assumed charge of the
Pension Bureau to Juuo 30, 1885.
During tho fiscal years 1885, 1886
and 1887, 156,226, tho names of tho
15,906, new pensioners a Ided to the
rolls by General Black, during tho
lost threo and a half months of the
fiscal year 1885, it makes a total of
172,132 now names added to tho pen
sion rolls sinco General lilack assumed
charge of the Pension Bureau. Giv
ing tho Republican administration the
benefit of 15,900 no names added to
tho rolls, during tho last threo and a
half months of tho fiscal year 1685,
during which timo tho Pension Bu
reau was und'r Demooratio control,
wo find tho excess of now namos ad
ded to .the rolls by the Democratic
administration during its first threo
ye ars exceeds those added to the rolls
during the lait three years of Mep
ublican administration 48,105.
UKNERAI, PENSION ACTS.
Wow let us see what tho offioial ro-
cords show has been done by President
Cleveland in his official capicity for
ex-Union soldier, thoir widows, or
phans and dependent relatives, sinco
Ins niKugeratiou on tho 4th of March,
widows' increase.
Ho approved tho act of March 19,
,n.i 1 1 i . . . '
iooo, wuicn naH increased to 912 per
month tho pensions of 102,568 widows
minors acd dependout relatives of
Union soldiors. Tho total annual
increase in monoy grauted to theso
102.508 pensioners, by reason of li'm
approval of said act, is S4,923,204.
INVALIDS INCREASE.
He approved the act of Auoust
1886, which has Increased the ponsions
ot 10,082 orippled and maimed Union
soldiers of tho lato war from $24 to
30, from 30 to 30, and $30 and
S37.50 to 45 per month. Tho nver
ago inoreaso in theso oases ia estimated
to be SO por month or 5 108 per year,
ami tho total annual increaso in money
granted to theso 10,082 nensioners bv
reason of tils approval of said act of
August 4, 1880, is therefore 1,089,
930. MEXICAN WAR PENSIONS.
Re approved tho act of January 20,
1887. whioh has nlaced on tho censlon
ItolU 21,704 survivors and widowi of
tho war with Moxlco at $8 per month
or $90 per year. Tho annual amount
in money which these 21,701 Moxloan
ponslonors will rcceivo by reason of bis
ppproval of said act is $2,083,584.
WIDOWS1 ARREARS.
Ho approved tho Act of January 7,
1888. granting arrears of pensions to
widows from tho dato of of their hus
bands' death in all cases filed subse
quent to Juno 30, 1880. All thoso
fil d prior to July 1, 1880 woro entitled
from dato of death of husband under
tho arrears laws of 1879, provided, of
course, thoy established their right to
such pension. Tho approval of this
Act of January 7, 1888, will immedi
ately affeot somo 10,000 widows of tho
lato war whoso claims havo alroady
been allowed from tho dato of tho filing
of tho samo. Tho average amount in
monoy whioh those 10,000 wid rcceivo
by roison of his approval of this Act
will amount, it is estimated, to an aver
ago ot $108 in each case, making a
total of 1,080,000, nnd tho allowances
of widows, cases which havo been filed
sinco June 30, 1880, during tho present
fiscal year will probably morcaso tho
amount paid to suoh pensioners during
the prosent year to over 81,500,000.
So it will bo seen that sinco the in
auguration of President Clovoland, ho
has approved General Pension Acts
which directly and pecuniarly benefit
somo 1 44,36 1 ex-Union and Mexican
war soldiers, their widows, orphans and
dependent relatives, and that the mon
oy valuo of this bencht will bo over
S9,000,000 per annum.
PRIVATE PENSION ACTS.
Sinco tho inauguration of President
Cioveland, ho has npptoved, or allow
ed to becomo laws by limitation, over
1.200 privato acts granting pensions,
whilo but 1,524 private pension acts
wcro approved, or allowed to become
laws by limitation, during tho entire
twenty-four years that tho Republican
party was in power. Thore is littlo
doubt that before tho present Congress
adjourns, ho will havo approved, or al
low to become a law by limitation,
nearly or quito as many privato pension
acts as all of the Republican Presidents
from Lincoln to Arthur.
Tho abovo figures taken from the
official records, show, beyond cavil or
question, that no such liberality to ex
soldiers, their widows, orphans and de
pendent relatives, in tho matter of pen
sions, was over shown by any adminis
tration in the history of tho Republic,
aud that no former administration has
ever oxtonded tho munificenco of the
government to so many ot tho benefici
aries of the pension laws as has the
administration of Presidont Cleveland.

IE EXPIRED SUDDENLY AT 10:20 SUNDAV
N 1(11 IT.
Genoral Phillip II. Sheridan, oom-
mandcr of tho Unitd States Army,
died very suddo dy at 10:20 Sunday
night of his old heart trouble. It was
only on Saturday that his condition
was reported to be good, aod that he
was slowly improving.
1'revious to tbe sudden appearance
of heart failure at about 0:30 thero had
been no premonitions of any unfavor
able change in Ins ootuition. I lie
weather had beon warmer thau usual
and tho General was, at times, a little
restless, but seemed generally bright
and cheerful. His voico was strong;
ho took a full supply of nourishment,
slept occasionally as usual, and his
lamily wero in oood Bpirits. At '7
o'clock Mrs. Sheridan and the doctors
went to the hotel for Bupper and soon
after thoir roturn tbe nsual prepara
tions for tbe night were mado. At
about 9:30 Colonel Sheridan said
"good night'' to his brother and went
to the hotel, thero having beon through
tho day no sign whatever of any un
favorable change in his condition. At
9:80 symptoms of heart failure sudden
ly appeared and Doctors O'Reilly and
Matthows, who wero with him at tho
time, immediately applied the reme
dies which proved successful in all
similiar previous attacks, but this timo
inoy wero without eltect and despite
all that could bo dono tbo General
gradually sank into a condition of com
plete unconsciousness, and at 10:20 ho
breathed his last, Mrs. Sheridan, the
Bisters Madam and Justian, and the
faithful body servant Klein, wero also
at his bedside throughout his dying
nours.
A Republican Manufacturer Denounces

Ono of the lamest manufacturinc

of A. B. Farqubar, of York Pa., who
makes agricultural implements, no

FREE RAW MATERIAL A BENEFIT,
"After tho war I remained with the
nartv called rcnubliaan so lonr? as I bo
keyed the national credit (more import
ant than systems of taxation) was safer
in its hands. But President Cleveland's
administration lias proved thero is no
difference between the parties in this
respect, and his tariff reform policy
ceitainly in the direction of national
progress. Tho effect of high lariff
rates is to encourage monopoliis and
trusts, and tho farmer is beginning to
unilordtand this very well. Mann fact
urers seek to terrify farmers with r
pioturo of tho competition thoy will
havo when their factories aro closed
and their hands have to go on tho firm
What nonsensil Tho Mills bill by re
ducing tho cost of raw material, will
open a dozen factories where it will

impossiuio to break up any oonsidor
able portion of tho maiuifaoturiucr in
Justry ovon under absoluto free trado
(I am very Bure that I would not havo
to stop, but would rather do ho thau
havo tbo community taxed to support
inu), while it is coitain that with a
lower tariff the farmora' supplies might
uo more cneapiy obtained.
THE FARMER DERIVES NO 1IKNEFIT,
"In short, no benefit is derived by
me iiirmor jrora me protective syetumj
it is, however, ycry ceitain that th In
oroaBod prico he has to pay for supplies
impoverishes him and makes tho mono
polist a millionaire. If wool was plao-
ed on tho freo list it would simply bo
what th'j wool growing stales desiro.
Tho older Btatcs aro growing less and
les-t dependent on wool, but farmers
everywhere suffer moro from increased
cost of olnthlng than they would gain
by tariff cn wool, and a rodnction of
tariff, therefore, would prove a benefit
to tho farming community.
"Although tho pricos of agricultural
implements are enhanced by the tariff,
tho implement makers Buffer by tho
present wor tariff ystem in soveral
ways. Ho is at a ilis.tdvantago in tho
export of his wares. Ho is at increas
ed expense for bis raw materhl. His

customers, tho farming community, he
suffeiB with them. Wore' tho presi
dent's policy carried .out, ho would,
whilo able to sell bis implements at
lower prices, rauko more of them and
mako better profits upon his business.
TUB FALLACY OK PROTECTION.
"Protection is tho father of million
aires and paupers, and tho question
simply is, shall wo continue thus to
tax labor and trade to fill tho already
overflowing treasury ' vaults and the
pockets of tho millionaire, with a cer
tain following of hard times and dis
astrous commercial release? It should
seem that everyone must know by this
timo how tariffs aro made lobbied
through congress by those who expect
to reap tho beuefit. Protection is
asked' for infnnt industries, but the
larger thoy grow tho morn is demand
ed. It is eternally dinned into tho
ear of tho wnrklngman that all this is
done in h'w interest. Who is to teach
him tho truth that protection is always
a tai upon labor, not upon capital!
Tho duty must foil, indirectly or di
rectly, on tho congressmen.
"As to President Cleveland, his
standard of duty lifts him abovo par
tisanship. I like his administration
well enough to continuo it He has a
placo in tho hearts o'f tho people such
aB iievor could havo beon acquired by
any amount of scheming."
A Matter of Record.
William Krickbaum came to this
town in I860, having beon appointed
commissioner's clerk, at a salary of
000 per year. The next year it was
raised to 650 and subsequently to
800 and 900, or until with extras it
aggregated over SI, 000 per year. In
1878 ho resigned tho clerkship to ac
cept tho office of prothonotary in
which ho served b'ix years having as
is commonly reported, accumulated
over 30,000 besides his living for
oighteon yea s. After ho was defeated
in 1884 for a third term as prothouo
tary, ho attempted to defeat the regular
nominee by a deal with tho republicans
of the county. Not satisfied with the
wealth he accumulated Jrom tho tax
payers, ho is urging his nomination for
representative with no other excuse
than that his opponoi t is a lawyer. If
after an official capacity of nearly
twenty years he should bo granted a
Icaso of office, it will be simply to add
to his wealth with very littlo hope of
roward to the democrats of Columbia
county. His ungratefulness was shown
in 1H84 nor is this tbo only evidence,
wo find republicans every where to-day
who aro influencing their democratic
neighbors in order to secure the nomi
nation of Krickbaum. Is this part of
tho bargain of 1884, or can it be pos
siblo that wo are ready to have repub
licans assert "We can not elect a re
publican representative but we can help
to nominato one that will remember ns
when ho gets to Harrisburg." We
would caution democratic voters not to
bo mislead by tho republicans. Don't
bo a cat's paw for them. At tho next
session of the legislature tho Senatorial
apportionment bill will be eousidercd,
and wo should havo a member there
who is not under any obligations to
tho republicans but who will work to
secure a district that 'will bo to tho in
terest of the democrats of this county.
Don't Want Any Ships.
A champion of the war tariff defends
the Republican polioy which has ban
ishtd tho Amerioan flag from tho'hih
seas, iiecause England can build and
sail ships choaper than our laws per
mit us to uo "we are a great deal bet
ter off for being out of that business
than we would be it in it," says a Pro
tectionist organ.
The idea that a great commercial
nation with 1500 miles of seacoast and
tide water is better off without ship
ping fits in qncerly with tho Protection
logic. If tho United States should go
without ships bee use foreigners cau
build them cheaper, why should our
people bo taxed lo sustain other indus
tries hero that can be conducted moro
choaply .abroad? Tho argument for
Protection is that it lends to mako this
oountry independent of foreign na
Hons. And the amount of protection
that is required for this lmrnoso
which iB by no means an average of
40 per cent. can be. defended very
successfully with tins argument. But
huro is n party arrogating to itself tho
exclusive lovo and caro of American
interests, tint has banished the Ameri
c.tn flag from the ocean nnd driven
American commerce into British and
German bottoms, and which defends
the polioy bouauso these nations can
carry it oheaucr thau we cau.
What sort of "Drotection" is this for
American shippers, to leavo them at
tho meniy of foreign carriers?
Tho Amerioan Bailors and skippors
uo not aumit inoinseives fairly beaten
on tho seas. Givo them the same on-
portunity that their triumphant rivals
have of buying ships whero thoy
please, or of building them without
any artificial enhancement of their
cost, and thoy will soon demonstrate
their ability to "beat tho world." But
the cold fact stands that tho Remibli
cans havo killed our foieicn shinnincr.
and glory in the slianu of it becauso
foreigners can do our earning cheap.

A Labor Loader for Qrover.
CONNELRVILLK, Pfl., Aug. 7. J. A.
Rankin, master woikman of district
No. II, Knights of Labor, comprising
the Connelsvillo and Latrobo coiko re
gions, outlined to a Pittsburg Most
correspondent yesterday why he is n
supporter of Cleveland. Ho said: "I
was a republican until tbo Hayes cam
pain In 1876. I then became a green
backer and slneo then havo really had
no politics, but I most assuredly intend
to support Cioveland. Prior to 1872 I
was a radical protectionist, believing
fully that tho panics of 1817, 1837 and
1 857 wero oaused directly by a reduct
ion of n tariff on imported goods. I
have roamed differently, however, and
I am now radically In favor of a re
duction of nit duties. Tho principle of
protection is wrong. It is neither
right nor just that one section or all
of a country should bo taxed in order
to loster tho interests ot auottier sec
lion. Wo need protection no longer.
When our covernment was Tiunir in
terests wero weak and neMted protect
ion. But under tho existing prosper
ous condition of trado the taxes of the
war period or previous havo uo appli
cation. Tho workinemon aro begin
ning to waken up to the fact, or rather
tno question, "Does protection pro
teclt" They are beginning to observo
that high tariff duties havo protected
the capitalist, but labor, the working
man's only commodity, has been freer.
"If thq Democratic party has tho cour
ago of its convictions, and would indi-
cato to tho workingmen their position,
they coijld carry Pennsylvania liko a
whirlwind this fall."
