But we may take comfort in the reflection that no leaders can carry all their party into courses their judgment must condemn and their hearts reject. There are, thank God, many Dem ocrats in Ohio, who do not desire the humiliation of the country nor the dishonor of their flag. —Sec retary of State Hay in letter of Sept. 11. 1899. The fact that the exports from the United States to Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines were nearly twice as much in the fiscal year 1899 as they were in 1898, and vastly more than in any preceding year, is proving some what embarassing to anti-expan sionists. The markets 1 hose islands afford under their new relations to the United States, is very much greater than ever before, the only time at which purchases from us approached those of 1899 being the years during the operation of the reciprocity treaty framed under the McKinley law. The exports to Cuba in the fiscal year 1899 were $18,015,704, against $12,807,001 in 1895; to Porto Rico. $2,035;841 in 1899, against $1,833, i>4s in 1895, to Hawaii. $9,305,470 in 1899, against $3,723,057 in 1895, and to the Philippines, $404,171 in 1899, against $119,255 in 1895. Remarkable Rescue. Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111., makes the statement that she caught cold, which settled on her lungs; she was treated for a month by her family physician, but grew worse. He told her she was a hopeless victim ot con sumption and that no medicine could cure her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion; she bought a bottle and to her delight found herself benefitted from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles sound and well; no / does her own housework and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at 112... Taggart's drug store. Only 50c. and $1 .CO, every bottle guaranteed. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our liegular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 24th. 1899. President McKinley is showing a lively interest to his Congres sional callers in the State cam paigns that are going on. One of his latest callers was Senator Mc- Comas, of Maryland, who said of his conversation with the President: "I told the President that we would win, and I meant what I said. The President hopes to see us triumphant, and was pleased j when I assured him that the pros pects were growing better." Sena tor McComas also suggested to President McKinley that he would have to pass through Maryland, both going and coming when he went on his western trip and that the people of the State would be delighted if lie would stop long enough at one or two places to ( speak a few words to them. Senator Piatt, of New York, who was in Washington on business, took occasion to assure President McKinley that the people of New York, regardless of politics, were, with few exceptions, heartily sup porting bis Philippine policy, and ruady to back the administration in every effort necessary to put us in control of the islands. Tliis government has nothing j whatever to do with the action of j j Spain in refusing to pay interest ! on the Spanish bonds known as i the Cuban loan, most of which are i held in France; consequently no 1 oilicial notice has been or will be ! taken of the matter. As to the absurd claim made by Spain that j I Cuba should pay the interest on i these bonds, that was fully settled | during the peace negotiations at J Paris, when the U. S. Com mis- | ! sisners positively refused to con- ! ; wider the claim, which was put i forward then by the Spanish Com- [ i missioners. If those bonds, prin- i j cipal and interest, are not paid by ; ] Spain, tliev will never be paid at ; | all. Representative Tawney, of Min- \ i nesota. says the people of his sec- ; j tion are almost all with President j 1 McKinle\ in his Philippine policy, j Of the status of the people at large l jon that question, he said: "1 ! have no doubt as to the verdict j which the people of the U. S. will i | render when they come to decide I whether we hold the Philippines. ! The Commercial advantages to lie j derived from continuous possession, | as well as the benefits which the i Filipinos will appeal to our people, j and they will not let the islands jgo When peace is restored, the I Filipinos will be given the largest ; measure of independence consistent | with their ability to govern. At j present we cannot say how great j this degree of independence will be. Our present duty is to restore order, and then we will learn, as quickly as possible, what capacity for government the Filipinos pos sess. They must demonstrate their capacity —must pass their examin ation, as it were before being ad mitted into the class of self-govern ing peoples.'' A report from U. S. Consul at Aix la Chapellc, Germany, recently received at the State Department, says: "As trusts are now being discussed in the U. S., it may be of interest to know that practically every industry in my consular district is managed in this way. The report of the Chamber of Com merce in this city, just issued, urges the formation of a trust in the pin industry." A fresh batch of stories as to Vice President Hobart's intentions, have made their appearance. They are merely guesses. The question of whether Mr. Hobart will be a candidate again, depends now, as it has since be commenced to show signs of breaking down, solely upon the condition of his health when the proper time comes to consider the matter. It is a waste of time to speculate upon it now. Bueklon's Arnica Salve.

It "digests what you eat" and positively cures dyspepsia. M. A. Ketron, Bloomingdale, Tenn., says it cured him of indigestion of ten years' standing. R. C. Dodson. Sly CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1899. Bryan's Principles Tersely Stated. Chicago Inter-Ocean, Rep. Any man who still believes that there is a vestige of consistency, sincerity or unselfish loyalty in the Democratic leadership of to-day should read and analyze William J. Bryan's speech delivered in Omaha, recentlo. As if by inspir ation, Mr. Bryan then and there revealed the utter hollowness of his party's pretensions to a single policy or conviction. Stripped of all verbiage and cant his words meant: — lie believed in the war, but was against its results. He loved the volunteers, but was against their achievements. He wanted peace, but repudiated the treaty of peace. He revered the flag but wished to see it hauled down. lie respected the Government, but would not maintain its author ity against rebels. He loved the fathers, but de tested their policy of annexation. It is recorded by the veracious reporter that while he thought these great thoughts and the lan guage that went with them Mr. Bryan ''sat in his shirt sleeves and mopped his brow." W'c should think as much. And the whole Democracy sits in its shirt sleeves and mops its brow with him. NEWSPAPER COMHENT. What the Editors of the Country Are Saying About the Leading Topics of the Day. Tho minute the calamity howlei opens liis lnoiilli nowadays lie finds lmn.-elf fiafijie'l with 15;..' ires (X. .J.) "Gazette. Democrats are talking Free-Trade again in a sneaking way. 'J 1 hey say it is the first .step to get rid of the trusts, which i- a characteristic ccii',- n ol crooked and impotent politics—Meadville (I'a.) ''Tribun'-Republican." A democratic victory next year would brim: tho prosperity promptly to an end and precipitate another panic like that which Cleveland's elutimi in 18!)2 caused.—St. Louis "Globe-Democrat." With employment assured and wages advanced and the price of most neces saries decreased, the American working man l'ecls very friendly toward the Tariff. —Troy (N. V.) 'Times. During the campaign of 1890 Williaui McKinlcy, then a candidate for the Presidency, in a speech at Canton, Ohio, declared that the country needed not only the opening of the mints, but also the opening of the mills. Today the mints and mills are running night and day.— Alton (Iowa) "Tribune." "This is uot the year for the demo crats; nor nest year," said a New York City democrat. His reason: "There is too much activity and too much employ ment. Neither money nor labor is going to seek a change." It was a year ago that Mayor Taggart is reported to have told some party lriends that the present prosperity was the chief obstacle to demo cratic success.— Indianapolis "Journal." The output of iron never was larger in this country than it is to-day, and yet shipbuilders and manufacturers of struct ural iron are compelled to reduce their force because they cannot obtain enough iron. Not just like democratic Free- Trade times, are they?— Little Falls (X. Y.) "Journal and Courier." There never was a time nor a country that could as well live without commerce with other countries as the United States at the present time. We raise nearly everything we need, and if necessary we could be entirely self sustaining. Our people have been educated up to this standard by the Protecteve Tariff features. Consequently if the natives of Europe an<i South America wish to try a boycott, let them proceed. There is no danger, however, of this being done. Europe is depending on us for food and South America for a national existence.—El Paso (Texas) "Herald."' This is rapidly corning to be a nation of manufacturers as well as of farmers and shopkeepers, with incidentally some first-class fighting men.—Tacoma (Wash.) "Lcduer." Prosperity as an Issue. Robert E. Pattison, of Pennsylva nia, is regarded by some democrats as a Presidential possibility in 1900. As neither the Van Wyek movement nor the efforts of conservative democrats in behalf of Senator Gorman has been a pronounced success, there is a pos sibility that the opponents of Mr. Bryan may rally to the support of Mr. Pattison as a forlorn hope. At all events, the former Governor of Penn sylvania has been receiving letters from democrats in the South and West who look upon him as the savior of his party. In response to many re quests he went west to canvass the situation with his correspondents. Since his return to Philapelphia he has given out a statement that is of more interest to Republicans than to the members of his own party. It gives some very good reasons why Mr. Bryan's candidacy cannot be expected to appeal strongly to the people. Mr. Pattison says he found every where in the West unparalled pros perity, not only in manufacturing, but in agricultural pursuits. He thinks the people of that section thoroughly un derstand that the relations of the United States to the commerce and markets of the world are different from what they were four years ago. The effect of this upon the money question is noticeable. Mr. Patttison says:"l do not think the farmers and wage workers, with wages increasing, orders coming in from all over the world, and every workingman and every dollar of capital put to the severest tension to keep up with the demands of trade I will stop long to discuss or even con sider absolute issues. . . . The peo ple are too busy to consider whether silver should be 16 to 1 or coinage free. They know that intercourse with the outer world in financial matters must be based on the coinage of commerce, whether it be gold, silver, nickel or any other thing of fixed intrinsic value". Wholly aside from the question of whether the democratic party indorses specifically the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, this presentation of conditions has an important bearing upon the next campaign. It is true, as Mr. Pat tison says, that the people no longer take an interest in silver as a panacea for hard times because ther are not now aware that there are hard times. While there is prosperity all over the country, it is especi ally marked in tho West. This is an issue that always counts for more than abstract propositions. The Republi can party will be given credit for the change over 1896.—Buffalo "Express." "liirinl CAMERON COUNTY, SS: N OT/CE is hereby given that B.
