COMPARE THE RECORDS.
A ShouliiK That Will I)e tannine
Which I'nrf j Into Be
Trunted.
The leaders of the democracy are
quite sure the republican party is not
to be trusted, but to all appeals made
to them to furnish reasons why their
organization merits public confidence
a deaf ear is turned.
It is a subject apparently that is
not relished, and when the principal
events in the history of that party
are recalled wonder should not be
excited that there is desire to avoid
the subject. The New York Mail and
Express, however, makes a brief sum
mary of democratic history for the
last 50 years, which will be read with
interest and instruction by many per
sons. It is as follows:
"In 1848 the democracy denounced the
policy of Internal improvements as 'corrupt
and unconstitutional.'
"In 1852 it rebuked the exercise of the
constitutional right of petition.
"In IMC it commended the fugitive
slave law, and approved the eKtension of
slavery Into Kansas and Nebraska.
"In 18G0 the democracy Split in two. both
branches reafllrming all the heresies of
former years.
"In 18G4, within a few months of Appo
mattox, the democratic platform de
clared the war 'a failure' and demanded
a cessation of hostilities and negotiations
to settle the master by peaceful means.
"In 18G8 the democrats denounced till the
amendments made to the constitution to
secure the results of the war.
"In 1872 the democratic convention swal
lowed both the platform and the candidate
of the liberal republicans.
"In 1876 the platform praised paper
money and a fiat currency, and emphatical
ly demanded the repeal of the resumption
act of 1875.
"In 1880 the party platform still squinted
toward an irredeemable currency and de
manded a. tariff for revenue only.
"In ISM, ISSB and 18!»2 the principal plarik
was the revenue tariff, once going so far
as to denounce protection as unconstitu
tional.
"In IS9G. while repenting of none of its
Inherited heresies, the democracy went be
yond them all by coming out us dancing
dervishes of repudiation and anarchy."
Contrast this with the record of the
republican party, to which is to be
credited:
Triumphant prosecution of the
greatest civil war on record.
The freedom of millions o* human
beings who had been held in bondage.
The creation of a financial system
which saved the nation's credit and
brought it to the front rank of the
powers of the world.
lieform of the civil service and bal
lot reform, the bulwark of the re
public's safety.
The building of a navy that de
stroyed Spain's standing and which
practically reduced her to a third
class power.
The resumption of specie payments
in the face of fierce democratic opposi
tion and the predictions nuule by that
party that the policy was destined to
bring disaster on the land.
Unprecedented expansion of our for
eign trade.
The purchase of Alaska, which is
bringing untold wealth to the people.
Tiie opening of the great western
wilderness, which has provided homes
for millions and has upset the theories
of publicists, who contended that popu
lation tended constantly to outrun the
means of subsistence. Thus one of the
greatest menaces to the prosperity and
development of human kind has been
?•( moved.
The republican party effected true
tariff reform the reform which
brings comfort and plenty to the peo
ple.
It has restored the gold reserve in
the treasury. Under the Inst demo
cratic administration, gold rushed out
of the country; under republican rule
it flows towards us in such volume that
the reserve in the treasury is greater
than it ever was before.
Under the management of that party
trade has revived, wages have ad
vanced: mills and factories are work
ing on full time, that were shut down
when the democrats were in power.
The condition of the American farm
er is better to-day than it lias been for
many years.
The republican party has prose
cuted successfully and brilliantly a
war that has brought rich possessions
under our flag and accomplished that
great work with smaller loss of life
and treasure than ever was sustained,
considering the important and valu
able results achieved, in any other war.
Many wars long drawn out, where
blood and treasure flowed like the wa
ters to the sea. have been fought with
out bringing anything like such sub
stantial results to the victor.
Through republican endeavor, sec
tionalism for the first time in the his
tory of the American people lias disap
peared. To-day there is no north and
south arrayed against each other. The
nation is united and harmonious.
Here, then, are presented the rec
ords of the two parties. Which repre
sents the broad, aggressive, patriotic
American sentiment? Which is the
progressive and which the reactionary
party?—Albany Journal.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1896.
STICK TO THE OLD ISSUES.
Democrat* Will Make Their Fljgiit
In IIMIO on (lie (JtilenKo Plat
form of 1 MINI.
There appears to be a quite general
feeling that the free and independent
coinage of silver by the United States
at the ratio of sixteen to one will not
be a leaning issue in the next presi
dential eampaign. There are indica
tions that conservative democrats are
anxious to delegate silver to the rear
or to leave the ratio to a democratic
eongress to determine. In Pennsyl
vania the democratic state convention
ignored the silver issue in favor of
state issues. In New York efforts are
bting made by those who have been
party leaders to induce the state con
vention to ignore the issue in ♦he plat
form this year. There is a decided if
silent element in all the central west
ern states which would have the party
enter the next presidential campaign
untrammelcd by the sixtt en-to-one de
mand of the owners of silver mines.
But with all the opposition to free
coinage at the old ratio and the very
general falling off of interest on the
part of the people in the question,
present indications point to the mak
ing of silver coinage at the ratio of
sixteen to one a prominent issue in the
next campaign by tiie democrats.
Most of the democratic state conven
tions have declared for the wlioleplat
form of Ciiicago and have indorsed C'ol.
Bryan as the democratic statesman to
be a standard bearer a second time.
The ultra silver element is in control
of the party machinery in all the
states. In Illinois if was given out.
after the democratic state convention,
that Mayor Harrison, moderate sil
verite. had control of the state com
mittee, but when the committee was
organized ex-Gov. Altgeld \\ as found
to be in eontroi as the most rabid
champion of tha silver platform. Ex-
Gov. Stone, of Mississippi, has made a
pilgrimage to New York to inform the
democratic leaders in that state that
they will not be recognized as belong
ing to the national democratic party
unless they indorse the Chicago plat
form.
There is every reason why the promi
nent leaders in the silver movement of
3896 should make a desperate effort
to make silver the most prominent
issue of 1900. They caused (heir party
to change front tin the coinage ques
tion. Thus they became the leaders
of a new democratic party. To sweep
back to the olti party moorings and
again become the champion of a
change of coinage ratio as it was
when it changed the ratio from fifteen
to one to sixteen to one, would cer
tainly discount the leaders of 1596, and
•hat. is the thing they fear and which
they will fight. If for no other reason
t-he Bryan leaders will make as much
of the silver mine owners' demandtlur
ing this campaign as they can, and if
they seem to gain by it in the fall elec
tions they will lie eager for it in 1900.
The public welfare is of no account to
t hem. —Indianapolis Journal.
BUILDERS OF THE NAVY.
A Reiinblicnn Entitled to
the Credit of Creating; l)ewfj
and Schley'* Ship*.
In various parts of the country there
is a very commendable disposition on
the part of our democratic brethren to
claim the honor of having fathered the
present navy. They have so few things
to point to with pride there is no won
der that they should wish to claim the
credit for the creation of the ships
which brought immortal glory to Dew
ey and Schley. But are their claims
well founded, or are they talking
through their hats? Let us see.
Fifteen years ago a congress, repub
lican in both branches, and a repub
lican president took steps to build the
cruisers Chicago. Boston and Atlanta,
and at the same time added new ma
chinery to the old monitors Monad
nock, Terror and Puritan. That was
the beginning of the present navy.
It may be said to the credit of Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Whitney that they
carried on the good work in a most
commendable way, but they were not
the originators of the idea, by any
means; and, further than this, an ex
amination of the records will show
that a larger proportion of republic
ans than democrats have supported all
steps looking to the extension of our
naval power. Most of the champions
for a big navy have been republicans;
most of the opponents have been dem
ocrats.
It looks as though our democratic
friends would have togo into another
field to find something to which they
can point with pride.—Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune.
A Good War Measure.
Figures that do not lie will r.ot per
mit the democrats tolose sight of the
Dingley law. War or no war, the Ding
ley law is with us, pulling steadily in
the right direction and piling up sta
tistics to the discomfiture of the free
traders. The dutiable imports for Au
gust amounted to $27,819,69.1, and (he
imports free of duty (o $21,359,693; to
tal imports, $49,170,330. The exports
of merchandise for August amounted
!o $84,008.774; excess of exports over
imports, $35,429,388; increase of ex
ports over August last year, $4,210,270.
Even in a war month we sold more
abroad than we bought. Our imports
for tin first eight months of IS9B were
valued at $42(5,412.038, and the exports
at $778,674,025; excess of exports over
imports, $352,262,987. This represents
a foreign trade of $1,205,086,002 for the
eight months, or $1,807,628,986 for the
year. The Dingley law put the coun
try in good condition for war and
helj/cd >t every day during the war. It
put the balance of trade in ox;r favor
before the war and it has held it there
under the extraordinary conditions of
the last four months. It was intended
as a peace law, but it has done good
service as a war measure.—Chicago

Washington, Sept. 26.— The com mis

war department held its initial meet
ing Saturday in the office of Presi
dent McKinlev at the White House
There were eight members present,
as follows: Maj. Granville M. Dodge,
of Iowa; Col. ,1. A Sexton, of Illinois;
( apt. E. P. Howell, of Georgia; Maj.
Gen. J. M Wilson, chief of engineers
of the United States army; Hon.

Vermont; ex-Gov. Beaver, of Pennsyl
vania, and Maj. Gen. 11. McD. MeCook,
of the army (retired).
President McKinlcy told the mem
bers that the organization of the
commission had been undertaken at
the request of Secretary Alger and
read a letter from the secretary in
which he made the request. The
president said that complaints had
been directed especially at the sur
geon general's, the quartermaster
general's, and the commissary gen
eral's departments of the army and
he suggested that the conduct of these
departments should receive especial
consideration at the hands of the com
mission. To this request he added
that it was his desire that the entire
military organization should, if it ap
peared necessary, be made the sub
ject of inquiry, saying that he wished
the committee togo to the bottom
of the subject in all eases and proceed
with its work without fear or favor.
A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE.

Murdered.
Vancouver, B. C., Sept. 20—Brind
ley Mills and P. G. Grant, two mem
bers of the Montreal Klondike syndi
cate, arrived here Sunday after spend
ing four months in trying to get
through to the gold country over the
Aslicroft trail. At Quesnelle they met
Sir Arthur Curtis, an English baron,
and his party and also ran across
them at Mml river, where Sir Arthur
mysteriously disappeared and was
never seen by a white man again.
Mr. Mills said they joined in the
search with Indians for the hotly and
that they are confident that the lat
ter not only knew all about the
nobleman's death, but where the
body might, be found. They want
SI,OOO reward for bringing it out of
the woods. The unfortunate noble
man, Mills believes, met with foul
play. Mills and liis party were
lost four days without food 100 miles
from Telegraph creek. On one occa
sion they took the advice of a treacher
ous Indian guide and went 50 miles
out of their way. They describe the
experience as terrible. They declare
that the route is a fraud and that
hundreds of poor fellows are in dan
ger of starvation on it now. They are
stalled 50 and 100 miles apart, with
out provisions and without hope.

FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD.
From the Herald, Watertown. N. Y.
John Young, of Le Boy, N. Y., is 72 years
old, and is well known in that and neighbor
ing towns. While putting some weather
boards on a barn, standing on a scaffold
twenty-two feet from the ground, he felt
dizzy, lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The side of his faee, arm and one entire side
of his body, on which he struck, were badly
bruised. Picked up and carried to the
house, he was under a doctor's care for sev

him a box of the pills. After that box had
been used he secured another. In three
weeks he began to feel a little life in his arm;
at the end of four he could move his fingers:
at the end of two months he could walk, and
in three months h*> could shave himself with
the injured hand.
As he told his story in the Herald office,
he looked the perfect picture of health. He
carries a bos of the pills in his pocket, and
whenever he does not feci just right, he
takes them. They cured him after doctors
had given him up, and his death was daily
expected.
All the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore shat
tered nerves are contained, in a condensed
form, in Or. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People. They are an unfailing specific for
such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial
paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neural

effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart,
pale and sallow complexions, all forms of

A SMALL BOY'S SCHEME.
He llnil an Idea About Kkkh Which
I'rouiiked n Splendid Kenult to
llin Mind.
A small boy who is not familiar with rural
ways was taken by his fondi mamma for a
brief stay in the country.
On a farm in a neighboring county he
waxed fat and sunburnt, and picked up a
wondrous store of astonishing experiences.
One day the farmer smilingly said to his
mother:
".Just ask your boy what he hid two eggs
A the stable for?"
So the very first opportunity the mother
said to the six-year-old:
"My dear, what did you do with those eggs
you took from the hen house?"
"Oh, mamma," replied the boy ; "I didn't
want you to know about it."
"Why, it's all right," said mamma. "I onlv
want to know what my boy did with them. 5 '
"1 hid them in the stable," said the little
fellow.
"And what for?"
" 'Cause it's my scheme."
"Your scheme? And what is your
scheme?"
"Why, you see, mamma," said the little
philosopher, "when eggs is horned in a
chicken house they is always little chickens,
an' I fink if they was horned in a stable dey
might be little horses!"
it is needless to add that up to the time
of hi« leaving the farm the miracle was still
unaccomplished.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

ing, and promptly eject any intruding
disease. The success of Dr. Ayer's Sarsa
parilla in curiug iudigestion and dyspep
sia is due to just this quality which it
possesses, of renewing the vital forces,
repairing the waste ana loss of the body.
The ordinary treatment brings the food
down to the level of\he weak stomach.
Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla puts strength into
the stomach, and brings it up to the level of
the j-trong food fit for men. It does this
by strengthening the entire system. The
stomach cannot stay weak when all the
other organs are gaining strength. What
Dr, Ayer's Sarsaparilla will do for dyspep
sia is'best illustrated in cases like that of
M.S. Shields, Meridian. Miss. Mr. Shields
had got down to the last level of dyspepsia.

Aa Imtnnrr of (he I'nrraaonablc Ei>
prrtatlona of Some New
Women.
She was a new woman and was rathe*
proud of the fact that she had a place in the
world, of business that enabled her to regard
herself as bong on an equality with man.
But there was one thing that annoyed her.
"I, go down on the ear early every morn
ing," she said, "with a young man who lives
a little farther out than 1 do, and 1 don't
mind saying that he doesn't know what
courtesy and gentlemanliness is."
"What does he do?" inquired her bia
brother, who doesn't think very much ol
new women, anyway, and is consequently op
posed to his sister being in the world of busi
ness.
"It isn't what he does," she replied; "it's
what he doesn't do. Time and again he has
let me stand up all the way downtown, when
it would seem as if the very least he could
have done was to get up and offer me his
seat."
"That is wrong, isn't it?" returned the
big brother.
"It's contemptible selfishness; that's what
it is," she answered.
" The fact that he is in possession of a
seat," went on the big brother, "of course
does not entitle him to it if a fellow clerk of
the opposite sex happens to want it. And
yet men in business will do those things.
Why, I know a girl who has twice the griev
ance have in that line."
"What's happened to her?" she asked.
'Man there first and refused to give up
when she came along," he explained.
"Give up his seat?
give up his job. She has discovered
that it would just about suit her, but the
great big brute of a man hasn't chivalry and
courtesy enough to get up from his desk', bow
politely and say: 'Madam, permit me to offer
you my job.' Actually, he just hangs right
onto it himself and lets her go hunting round
for, something to do. Most ungentle-manly,
isn tit? Rut, do you know, I think the o.d
fashioned courtesy is—"

When li's Really Solemn.
"It's a very solemn thing," she said,
"when a woman intrusts a man wiih her
affections."
"It's a mighty sight more solemn when
she makes him think she has intrusted them
to him while they are still locked up in her
jewel box," he replied.
Then they looked at each other, and each
realized that it was time for their summer
flirtation to end.—Chicago Post.
The Growth of Sociallam.
It is argued by deep thinkers that th«
growth of socialism is due to the large stand
ing armies of the world, in which men ar#
often made to enlist against their will, ana
thus become discontented with existing con
ditions. The growth of a stronger race of
people is due to the large sale of Hostetter's
Stomach Hitters, which is the best medicine
for costiveness, dyspepsia, fever, ague and
all nervous troubles. Try one bottle.

seasoned with a little salt, and drink only
a little milk. I became so bad that a trifle
too much of even these caused terrible
suffering in the regions of the stomach,
darting pains back of the eves, attended
with dizziuess and partial loss of sight.
The only way I could get relief was by vom
iting. Finally I had such a severe attack
that the entire left side of my body felt
numb and partially paralyzed, and in this
condition. I was taken to my room uncon
scious. The physicians failed to help me.
and none of the many remedies I took did
me any good. At last a friend piesented
me with a bottle of Dr. Ayer's Sarsaparilla
and before I had used half of it,l could see
a decided change for the better. 1 used
three bottles and was so completely cured
that for four years I have not been troubled
with the old complaint, but am rugged and
hearty and able toe it anything that can
be eaten. It would be impossible to say
too much in praise of Dr. Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla, and I would not give one bottle of it
for a do 7 rn of any other kind."—M. S.
