'•1 stand, my fellow-citizens,"
shouted William Jennings Bryan,
on a recent occasion, "exactly
where ! stood in 189t>!" But see
how the country lias moved 011 to
prosperity since then, suggests an
exchange. By the increase of
values the states have won tens of
millions of dollars, thousands and
thousands more people are at work
and the wage scales have been
constantly going up. The Nation
has not stood still, if Bryan has,
since 1896.
The Parmer of To-day.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Xot much is being said nowadays
about "the downtrodden ami op
pressed tillers of the soil." The
average farmer has wheat in the
stack, more cattle than he can
count, so much old corn on hand
that he does not know where to
put the new crop, and the banker
owes him money that lie doesn't
know what to do with.
The attempt to assassinate Maitre
Labori, counsel for Dreyfus, in
Kenues on Monday morning was a
most dastardly and cowardly affair,
and it will certainly react 011 the
men who instigated it. There can
IK; no doubt that the royalists and
friends of the army officers under
suspicion of having condemned
Drtj f»is unjustly took this means
of depriving Dreyfus of his most
valuable counsel, but fortunately
they failed.. The latest accounts
say that Labori may recover, and
that the Dreyfus court martial will
goon. But how weak must the
cause bo that is bolstered up by the
assassin's pistol! The French
army has already lost its case. The
crack of the pistol shot that
wounded Labori sounded the
death-knell of royalism in France
for nil time to come. But that is
was just like France. lJarrisburg
Telegraph.
'Twas a Great Year.
The last fiscal year was a hum
mer.
Commercially it was a year to
cause every American to grow
several inches every time he thinks
of it.
The country's exports reached
nearly a billion and a quarter
dollars.
Exports of manufactured articles
were simply phenomenal.
Steel manufacturers are refusing
orders because they have more than
they can do.
111 spite of the increase in ma
terial contractors and builders 111
cities and towns are having a busy
time of it.
Mills, shops and factories are
working over time to keep up with
orders.
< Commercial agencies report fewer
business failures than in any of the
past seventeen years.
Liabilities of those who failed
are less than in any year since
1881.
Such commercial activity was
never known before.

Our Greatest Output of Iron.
The news that the Cramps are
seriously handicapped by the fact
that they find it very hard to get
ILa steel and iron required for the
•construction of the vessels that
they have under contract is sur
prising but impressive evidence of
our prosperity. That steel stocks
are short is the result of one of the
busiest years that our iron and
steel manufacturers have ever seen.
But for the fact that we have had
the greatest output of iron to draw
on since this country was a coun
try at all we would be suffering
from an iron famine.
Statistics for the first six months
'of tic year 1899 show 'hat our
furnaces produced <5,289,107 gross
tons, against 5,904-,231 gross in
the second half of This is a
l-ciiiarkable showing, but what is
still more remarkable is the way
thii.f pig iron stocks have shrunk
d. jg th< vlyi - '' '"hat the
01 tput of the furnaces was the
greatest. On December .'sl. 1897,
we had stocks of unsold pi;; iron in
the country amounting to (>.'>(5,45 ( .)
tons- on June .'SO. ! SOS, the stocks
had dropped to 671,577 tons; at
the beginning of the present year
our stocks of unsold pig iron had
gone down to 291,233 tons while
at the end of June the total supply
of unsold pig iron in the market
was only 127,193 gross tons.
It will be seen at a glance
that although the entire product of
the furnaces for the first part of
the present year has been used, it
was not enough to supply the de
mands of the trade. In those six
months we produced as much as
we did duing the entire year of
1894, of sorrowful memory. liut
in spite of this enormous increase
of the output the consumers have
been compelled to draw on the
unsold stocks to meet their de
mands, and the stock is now grow
ing uncomfortably low. When im
portant consumers like the Cramps
find diiliculty in getting iron and
steel the outlook is very promising
for a busy season for the furnaces.

Sinnemalioning.
Editor l^rcss:—
The Sinnemahoning Liars Club, Jr.,
held a regular meeting last night, with
W. H. Michaels in the chair. After a
hot debate the club visited the senior
organization in a body, which hap
pened to be in session same night,
found Pap Berfleld working hold to
the old club together. Hanscom struck
Joe Summerson in the eye with a quid
of tobacco, which came near raising
row. Belden came in and restored
peace with promises of refreshments
after adjournment. Harve Smith re
ported that gome of the Emporium
club visited our little town last week—
F. X. Blumle and W. L. Thomas After
four hours of hard work they succeeded
in knocking out Joe M.and Geo.Shafer,
members of the old club. Billy's next
move was Wyside. Here he ran up
against Pap Blodget and he discovered
he had found a tartar. The old man
was almost done for when O. L. Bailey
came to his assistance. They com
pletely knocked out William in less
than ten minutes, when he departed in
search of bass, taking John Logue
along, who reported a catch of fifty
pounds. Norman Johnson says he was
an eye witness to the catch and says
all they had was one poor chub and a
sucker.
We have been looking for that report
from Gardeau club. They have first
class material there for such an organ
ization. If they fail all they have to do
is to take the trolley line down to Siz
erville, where Martindale and Will
Crawford are watching for them. But
there is no necessity for this. There is
N. C. Strum, he is a dandy and has
had sixteen years experience to my
certain knowledge and carries the belt
of two states, earned before he struck
McKean county. Fred Zimmer is not
too slow. Too bad Giles Allard has
left there for he was Nick's assistant.
Pap Blodgett don't like the idea of
going up to Sizerville without the
shining lights,Dalrymple and Mike Mc-
Graw. They can face anything except
one of Blumle's cases.
Tom Snyder set up the tobacco, when
the Club adjourned to Joe M.'s private
parlor for refreshments.

makes the statement, that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
w«*iß treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told
her that she was a hopeless victim of
consumption and that no medicine
could cure her. Her druggist suggested
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption; she bought a bottle and to
her delight found herself benefitted
from first dose. She continued its use
and after taking three bottles, found
herself sound and well; now does her
own housework, and is as well as she
ever was. Free trial bottles of this
wonderful remedy at L. Taggart's drug
