Sbarpless, president of a West Chester, Fa., factory which, employs 1,000 men, has post ea a piacara aDout ms plant an nouncing that should the "dire ca lamity" of Mr, Bryan's election befall the country, in "that hour these works will have to close down." We believs that the Dem ocratic National Committee recent ly offered $5,000 for conclusive cvi dence ot au employer s coercion against the candidacy of Mr. Bryan Difficult as it is to draw the line for the purposes of the court, between legitimate notice concerning ores ent and future trade and deliberate use of force, it would seem that this case is reasonably clear. Mr. Sham les scorns to take refuge behind ambiguous words. He frankly, threatens. "Unless you beat Bry an," he says, "you lose your jobs." This sort of bribery is more dan gerous than the open barter and sale of votes, because it is subtler and harder to exterminate. The IN THE COUNTY Surplus 8150,000. OFFICERH: Myron I. Low. Vico President. Frank Ikeler, Cnahier. Democratic party and Mr. Bryan have suffered heavily from it in other campaigns. As a weapon of political warfare, it is peculiarly unfair and contemptible. As an index of commercial sagacity, it is a reflection upon any man's intelli gence. The man who thinks that the country will go to the dogs up on Mr. Bryan's election is simply a fool. The man who liases minatory notices to his dependents upon such reasoning should enjoy e ther a fool's esteem or a bushwhacker's punishment. Mr. Sharpies' con cern manufactures separators. His apparent conception that the earth will stop bearing grain when Mr. Bryan steps into the White House is profoundly interesting f 10111 the point of view of the alienist. TAXING THE FARMERS. Because the farmers pay 110 di rect taxes fcr the support of the federal government they fancy they go untaxed except for state and lo cal purposes. But they are robbed at every turn in the purchase of 1 their clothing, their implements. heir lumber, their fuel, their med icines, their insurance, their trans portation, their fencing and their tving so far as they do not them selves dig it out of the ground. without recourse and without equi ty or mercy. They are victims of an iniquitous system. They are blindfolded by partisanship and imagine themselves free agents. On account of the tariff, for ev ery dollar of value in a pair of shoes he pays $1.25. For every dollar of value in a pair of trousers he pays $1.60 and in addition he pays 3 cents for each pound; so for a two-pound pair of trousers worth $2 he pays $3.85. For a shirt worth 75 cents he must pay $125. The Dingley tariff duty on his hat is 44 cents a pound and 60 per cent; so if his bat weighs a quarter of a pound and is worth $1, he must pay $1.75 for it. When the farmer and his wife and children dress to go to town. or to church, they are covered with taxes as Job was covered with boils. But Job knew what hurt him. Johnstown Democrat, THE BUSINESS BRIBE. The promise of plutocratic man ttfacturers to raise the wages of their employes, if Tait carries the election, is both criminal and mean it is as clearly a bribe as was ever a two-dollar bill at the polls. It is besides as cejtainly a fraud as was ever a three card monte game at a county fair. If manufacturers can be sure of raising wages after elec tion they can raise wages now. If they cannot raise wages now, they cannot be certain of raising them after election. What they are at is trying to influence hard working and poorly paid voters to vote against labor interests by offering them bribes that are never to be paid. Chicago Public, Is Yo ur Hair Sick?

Ityan of Dis trict No. 12. on January 31st, reported from the Committee on Resolution the following, which was unanimously adopted : Whereas, The large number of accidents occurring in the conl mines is caus ing the death of thousands of men annually, leaving their families without means of support, and Whereas, The cost of life nnd limb required in 1 lie production of coal ohould he added to the cost of production in order that all who enjoy the heuellts of it may bear their share of the burdens incident to the production of conl rather than have them borne entirely by the unfortunate men who meet with ueci dents iu the performance of their duties ; therefore, oe it Resolved.

A Washington, D. C. dispatch says: J uage ciay ton, 01 viaoama who has been campaigning for Bry an and the Democratic Cougression- al candidates in the Middle West, returned to Washington today full of enthusiasm oyer the outlook for the Democrats in that region. 111 every part of the West that I visited," Judge Clayton said, "I found a drift to Bryan that was simply amazing. I would not have believed the conditions would have been so favorable to the Democrats if I had not gone over the ground and investigated for myself. I re gard it as absolutely settled that we will make such gains in Congress men in the Middle West that we will have control of the next House of Representatives, even if we should lose the Presidency; but I' firmlv believe Bryan will be elected. "There isn't a doubt in ray mind that today both Indiana and Ohio are safely Democratic, and we have an excellent chance of getting Kan sas, Colorado aud Nebraska are al so in the Democratic column, and there is even hope that we wilj cap ture Iowa. I believe that Colonel Pete Hepburn, of Iowa, will be de feated for re-election to Congress, and several others of the Republi can wheel-horses of the House are in danger. I tell you it is a Demo cratic year, and I don't believe the Republican managers can do any thing to stem the tide that has set in for Bryan." Conflicting School Laws.

Two hundred and twenty-five students are enrolled in the four and two years' courses in agricul ture at The Pennsylvania State Col lege. Their ejucation is part of the work of our state school of agriculture, but there are other young men needing service. Many persons do not have the time for a college education, but they can give the winter to study. For this rea- son winter courses m agriculture were established at the college last year, and ninety men were enrolled. They found the lectures and practical exercises adapted to the need of men who want to increase their earning power. Underlying principles were studied, and practi cal methods of dealing with crops, soils, orchards, animals and dairy products were given these young men. They returned to their homes with a desire to encourage others to come to the college next winter for study under its practical scien tists. The enrollment will be large. The courses begin December 1st and close February 24th. The as sociation with hundreds of students in agriculture ana tue study ot problems arising in the every-day life of the farmer makes these win ter courses au opportunity that a bright young man cannot aflord to miss. The free illustrated bulletin de scribing the rive winter courses iu agriculture is ready for distribu tion. Address School of Agricul ture, State College, Pa. William T. Creasy has done great service to his party, and to the state at large by his fearless advocacy of the right in the legis lature. He will be returned by a large majority, as he should be. His long service has made him thoroughly familiar with parlia mentary practice, and his quick perception has enabled him to de tect the schemes of the opposition, and his courage has led him to de nounce them openly.
