We Guess Not.
Some Democrat w ill be popping
up soon to proclaim that prosperity
is the parent of trusts. The remedy,
of course, is to kill prosperity and
to get back to those good old demo
cratic times. —Si. Louis Globe-
Democrat.
Discredited Prophets.
The Republican party gave the
country a Protective Tariff. Now
watch the ever increasing exports:
In 1805, 8807,000,000; in 1890,
$882,000,000; in 1597. 5],000,000,-
000: in 1808. 81,231,000,000; and
when the present fiscal year was
completed on the 30th of June
ultimo it showed,for a larger figure
even than the last one. And yet
Democratic Free-Traders predicted
—they wouldn't have it any other
way—that Republican Protection
would destroy our foreign com
merce by killing oft our exports.
What prophets! —and why should
the country further trust them? —

WHAT ARE THE COMPENSATIONS?
Things That Have Come to Pass
Under the Dingley Law.
Trenton Gazette.
Factories that were idle before
the Dingley law went into effect
are now in operation.
Capital that found no employ
ment while the Wilson law was in
effect is now active.
New manufactories are building
and the capacity of old manufac
turing plants is being increased.
Millions of wage earners who
were without occupation, or whose
labor found only a cheap market
when the Wilson law was in effect,
are to-day busy at the loom, the
bench, the l'orge and the lathe
earning and receiving reasonable
compensation.
The home market is supplied
with the product- of American skill.
The wolf has been driven from
the door of men who are dependent
upon their brawn and muscle for
their daily bread.
Prosperity has been transferred
from Europe to America through
benificent influence of a Protection
Tariff and the people who are busy
and loaning money are willing to
make up whatever deficiency there
may be when it comes to paying
the cost of running the goverment.
They would rather do this than
see the importers paying the gov
ernment's expenses and at the
same time glutting the American
market with manufactures shipped
here from the industrial centers of
Europe.
The Dingley Tariff is not a fail
ure. It brought new life to Amer
ican industries.
It has brought fresh hopes to the
hearts of American laborers. What
better things could reasonably be ex
pected of it ?
Give the American people an
opportunity to earn the money and
they will cheerfully pay the cost of
running the machinery of the
United States Government.
ricKinley's Vacation.
PLATTSBURG, N. Y., July 23. —Prepa-
rations are lieing made at Hotel Cham
plain in anticipation of the arrival of
President and Mrs. McKinley, who are
expected on Wednesday or Thursday
of this week. In view of Mrs. McKin
ley's ill health the President hopes to
spend his time while here in absolute
rest and quiet. He has asked that no
newspaper correspondents be allowed
on the special train which will convey
himself and party to the shores of
Lake Champlain.
The suite of rooms facing the lake
on the main floor, of the hotel annex,
which the President occupied during
his stay at the hotel in the summer of
1897, is being especially furnished and
made ready for his occupancy.
Many prominent people are expected
at the hotel during the President's
visit, among them being Secretary of
tlir* Trcncnrv rr± Attorripv Oeneral
(Jriggs, Vice President Hobert and
family and Elihu Root, recently ap
pointed Secretary of War.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, July 24th, 1899.
Iu selecting Hon. Elihu Root,
of New York, to succeed Gen.
Alger as Secretary of War, Presi
dent McKinley has added another
to the long list of appointments lie
has made that even his opponents
cannot criticise. Mr. Root's repu
tation as a lawyer stands second to
that of no man in the country and
it was for that reason he was chosen.
President McKinley wanted the
best lawyer he could lind at the
head of the War Department, to
handle the legal questions that are
constantly arising in connection
with the military government of
our new possessions, and
which are liable to be still more
complicated in the near future,
lie will get him in Mr. Root. No
change in the Philippine policy is
foreshadowed by the change in the
head of the War Department. The
organization of the volunteer regi
ments is being pushed with great
rapidity—already more than four
thousand men have enlisted—and
the ten regiments are expected to
be completed by the middle of
August, and on their way to Manila
very soon after that date, as pres
ent plans are to have them all over
there by Ihe close of the rainy
season, so that a campaign agres
sive enough to crush out the re
volt before the next rainy season
rolls around can be waged.
For the benefit of Mrs. McKin
ley's health which continues to be
poor, the President will this week
take her to Lake Champlain, near
Plattsburg, N. Y. How long they
will remain there will depend upon
the amount of benefit Mrs. Mc-
Kinley may derive. There will be
no delay to any public business of
importance, by this vacation, as
the President will be connected
with the White House by long dis
tance telephone, and will be able
to give the same attention to im
portant business that be does while
in Washington, and all matters re
quiring immediate attention will
be disposed of before his departure.
The war with Spain abrogated
all treaties with the U. S., and the
treaty of Peace which ended the
war, does not deal with commer
cial matters. Consequently, IS.
trade with Spain is now more or
less handicapped. For instance,
Consul Sprague, at Gibralter, lias
just called the attention of the
Department of State to the exis
tence of a differential duty of two
pesetas —a fraction more than
thirty-eight cents—between United
States and British flour entering
Spain, in favor of the British Hour.
The Consul said: ''The matter is
of some importance, as at present
American flour can undersell other
foreign importations in this line.''
When a new commercial treaty is
negotiated with Spain, as one
doubtless will be in the near future,
such drawbacks to trade will he
done away with, as President Mc-
Kinley will insist that the 1". S. be
given every commercial .advantage
possessed by the "most favored
nation.''
"Corporal" Tanner, who has
been personally intimate with Sec
retary Alger for twenty years, said,
while discussing Gen. Alger's
record and his resignation, winch
takes effect next week: ••What
ever measure of failure could be
charged to him as Secretary of
War—and, in my opinion, it is
not by one thousand degrees as
great as many seem to think—is
justly more chargeable to the sys
tem in vogue at the War Depart
ment, that of bureaucracy and
divided responsibility, than to
Alger. The historian who sums
up Alger's career dispassionately,
with full knowledge of events,
must put him down as a really
great man. He will be known as
a man who fell a victim to the in
famous asaults of sensationalism.
In all the great crisises in the his
tory of this government, there has
been developed a wolfish side in
the nature of the American people.
This quality, when things do not
goto suit the crowd, makes them
demand a human sacrifice. They
want to rend and tear. I speak
with full knowlege and memory of
the days when a portion of the
press lampooned Abraham Lincoln
as a baboon and clown, and de
rided Gen. Grant as a drunkard
and butcher."
Mr. E. N. Hugging, of Colum
bus, Ohio, who is always posted on
the politics of his state, said: "This
will be a Republican year in Ohio.
We will elect our state ticket by
at least fifty thousand plurality.
The democrats haven't a ghost of
a chance, and wouldn't have, even
if they were not split into factions.
No man the Democrats can put up
can defeat Judge Nash. He is not
only strong in his own right, but
the popularity of President Mc-
Kinley will bring out a very full
vote in the coming election. Our
people are enjoying a satisfactory
measure of prosperity, and that
makes the average Republican very
well pleased to continue to cast liim
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1899
ballot for the, party of his choice."
Assistant Secretary Vawlerlipp,
of the Treasury, thinks that the
Dewey home fund, which now
amounts to about $15,000, con
tributed by more than '25,000 per
sons, will be swelled to at least
SIOO,OOO by the time the Admiral
reaches the IT. S. He thinks there
are quite a number of persons who
will soon make large contributions.
Treasurer Roberts and other mem
bers of the committee are equally
confident.
Emporium Liars Club.
Editor Press:—
Our club was called to order with
.Johnny Meyers in the chair and Mike
IMan a.s master of ceremonies, Ed. Mc-
Xcrney told experience with the 8.
L. C. lie went down there after scalps
and he found the place; went into 0. S.
Bailey's and found ,Joe Strayor and
Slum Decker. Ed. opened on them and
in less than two and a half minutes
were all angels. He went down to Joe
Ms and found Beldin, fighting .Johnny
llogan. Ilogan was nearly done for
when Ed. arrived and opened his bazoo.
Then he went over to the saw mill after
Vine Ilanscom, uave and him the Wood
pecker story. Vim; jumped into the
river—losing his scalp lie next went
down to Pap Blodget sand Pap would
not recognize him so he stood I'ap on his
head in the rain barrel, stole his shoes and
plug of tobacco, when Pap's yellow dog
took a hand in the deal. Ed. got on the
freight train but the dog had some of his
pants. The club raised fifteen cents to
get him a new pair, so he can goto Drift
wood next week to see his girl.
Bill Thomas was initiated into our
club last Saturday, Pap Blodget and
Palrymple gave him the degree in War
ner's wine room. Bill took it all righ.
The next meeting of the club will be in
Thos. Lysett's ice house, on account of
our visiting brother Pap Blodget, up
setting the table and falling over the
spittoon while endeavoring to leave the
room.
Will Auchu was excused from duty
while he is learning to talk Swede.
< >ur meeting was broken up with a
club, by Judge Brennan.

Everybody went to the shop picnic
at Emporium.
Miss Ethel Fisher returned home
from her 4tli of July visit last Tuesday.
August Olson is in our town once
more, running the pump on the night
shift.
We have two good draymen in our
town who will deliver your goods at
small cost —especially watermelons.
Handy Andy can be seen on our
streets every evening try to beat his
own record on the bike. He has plenty
of rubber on his bike, also in his neck,
and yet he wants a rubber collar.
Fred and Luie Norton and Milford
Bliss went eel gigging last Saturday,
returning Monday evening with a good
lot of them. Fred says he left his mark
on about two hundred that he didn't
get.
The absence of the three boys that
went fishing caused Master Pete much
trouble, lie could not get a full class
and had to dismiss school.
Clarence Lucore went to Renovo
last Tuesday, where he expects to get a
position as brakemen 011 the P. & E.
R. R. Clarence is a good, steady fel
low and we wish him success.

Millions Given Away.
ft is certainly gratifying to the public
to know of one concern in the land
who are not afraid to be generous to
the needy and suffering. The pro
prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds,
have given away over ten million trial
bottles of this great medicine; and have
the satisfaction of knowing it has ab
solutely cured thousands of hopeless
cases. Asthma, bronchitis, hoarseness
and all diseases of the throat, chest
and lungs are surely cured by it. Call
on L. Taggart, druggist and get a free
trial bottle. Regular size 50c. and sl.
Every bottle guaranteed, or price re
funded,
Scarlet Fever.
W. H. Philpot, Canton, 0., writes:
