Admiral Dewey doesn't seem to think the United States Govern ment is making any mistake in making its control] ol' the Philip pines complete and permanent. The exports of the calendar year 1S9!) are likely to be the largest in our history, in spite of the doleful predictions made as to the prospec tive effect of the Dingley law upon our foreign markets. The money in the country has increased nearly per cent, in the three years since Mr. Bryan and his followers were trying to make us believe that only free coinage could cause an increase in our currency. What has become of the gallant Colonel from Nebraska? Can it be possible that he has been silenced at last? How mutable are the af fairs of men. The most talkative man of the century has at last lapsed into silence; his voice drowned in the acclimations of a greatful country to the hero of the age, Admiral Dewey. The debt we owe to Dewey is thus doubled. Democratic orators are not dis cussing the Dingley tariff law this fall. They claimed that it would result disastrously to our foreign commerce, would be a failure as a revenue producer, and that labor would not be benefited bv it. Yet exports have steadily increased, the customs revenue are running higher than at any time under the Wilson tariff, and every man in the country who wants work can get it at advanced wages. People who are inclined to criti cise the conduct of the American campaign in tin; Philippines, would do well to contrast it with those of Spain in those islands. Gen. Rivera, in the first year of his cam paign against the Filipinos, lost 8,000 prisoners. 1,000 killed or mortally wounded, and 2,000 dis abled by disease, making a total of 1.1,000, or 40 per cent, of his en tire command. Gen. Otis, in the eight months of his campaign, has lost 2").'3 men killed, 02 deaths from wounds. 470 incapaciated from dis ease. and no prisoners, making the total si."), or about 2.', per cent, of his entire command. FROM THE SANCTUM. Bngle Blasts From Leading Re publican Editors of Penn sylvania. .ij&i THEY POINT THE WAY. Terse and Timely Comment Upon the Issue* of the Day From Different Sections of the Commonwealth. "Industrial establishments of all kinds, the great majority of which were idle at the time of the inaugura tion of Mr. McKinley as president," declares the Norristown (Montgomery county) Daily Herald, "are now busily engaged in making goods which are being shipped to other countries, there by affording profitable employment for labor, which is just what is desired. It would be a very strange blunder on the part of workingmen to ignore these facts and vote the Democratic ticket, thus endangering the excellent prospects they now enjoy. "This is a blunder they are not at all likely to make. They have no de sire to restore the discredited Democ racy to power. Business is active; capital has confidence in the adminis tration; labor is reaping the benefit. In abundant employment at fair wages. The intelligent laboring man will not vote to return to the privation, pov erty and hard times of three or four years preceding the advent of the Re publican party to power. "The country cannot afford to try any doubtful experiments, either now or next year. Workingmen cannot af ford to run the risk of loss of em ployment by voting the Democratic ticket. The Republican party has well redeemed its promises and it will re ceive a vote of confidence therefor." IN BUSINESS FOR THEMSELVES. "It is not very remarkable that the Democratic leaders are Just now shout ing in favor of fusion," says the Doylestown (Bucks county) Daily Re publican."They hope to be the gainers thereby. That's the whole matter in a nutshell. The Democrats never want fusion unless they see some benefit to themselves. Last winter during the session of the legislature the Demo crats stood solidly and stubbornly alone when by co-operation they might have been the means of electing a Uni ted States senator. But they knew that if they gave their support outside their own party the successful candi date must be a Republican. No fusion under those circumstances. The state leaders positively forbid It. Now, how ever, they counsel fusion wherever there is an opportunity to gain some thing or a possibility of winning with the aid of the malcontents of other par ties. The Democratic party 'is in busi ness for what there is in it' for them selves." CREASY BOOM A FIZZLE. "The Republican campaign for state and county offices has opened," savs the Mount Carmel (Carbon county) Daily News. "All factions of the party are united in the battle to be waged this fall. Quayites and anti-Quayites are all lined up for the whole ticket. Creasy, the Democratic candidate for state treasurer, has failed to arouse any enthusiasm by his tirades on Re publicans and Republican principles. The people in his home county know him too well to expect anything out of the ordinary from him. and they refuse to be aroused, and the restof the state is not interested outside of his own party. Colonel Barnett. has been receiving the usual reception accorded to brilliant young Republicans in this state, and will be elected by more than an off year majority." LESSON FOR REPUBLICANS. "Montgomery Democrats have no show of late years," says the Norris town (Montgomery county) Daily Her ald, "except when their Republican op ponents are divided, as in 1898, when two legislative tickets were presented for Republican support, and a Demo cratic senator and three assemblymen were chosen. Last year's experience had its lesson for Republicans, and there is no repetition of the tactics which benefited the Democracy at that time. The harmony prevailing in Re publican councils this year leaves De mocracy without a shadow of hope on election day. Every Republican should regard it as his duty to assist in mak ing his party's majority as large as possible." FOR PARTY UNITY. "Good Republicans are tired of fac tional politics. They want to give at tention to bigger and broader issues. They want to prepare for the national election, more important than 50 sena tors, for it involves the administra tion of the government for four years to come. They want their party uni ted, and they want men to represent them who are in favor of uniting it," says the Bryn Mawr (Montgomery county) Home News. "We look for ward, not backward, and our hope is that the near future will bring com plete party unity in Pennsylvania." "In this year of Republican pros perity every Republican wants togo to the polls and vote the straight ticket from top to bottom," remarks the Greensburg (Westmoreland county) Press. LOOKING BACKWARD. "The remarkable development of the stale of Pennsylvania in the past 25 years is an everlasting monument in commemoration of the Republican doctrine of American protection," de clares the Jeannette (Westmoreland county) Dispatch. "Its shadow extends to the remotest part of the state. In the gratefulness of its noon tide shadow the American workingman sits today sheltered from the burning and consuming heat of free trade sun, and Cats his dinner from the best filled pail he ever enjoyed. In this shadow, in peace and comfort, and in heartfelt content, lie eats his fill and with re newed strength and courage completes his task for today, and goes to his home assured that the same shadow awaits his return on the morrow, and the next day, and the next, and so on, so lo'v; as the American people remain CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1899. true to thn RwpnhHean doctrine of American protection. "There is no county in the state that is benefited more by the suprem acy of this doctrine of protection than has Westmoreland county. It has made our county great among the xreatest. In the face of these facts and In the full enjoyment of the shade of this movement our duty is clear. Our Democratic friends would have us be lieve that these principles are not an issue in this campaign, and that the issues now in question are purely local. : Do not be deluded In this way. The successful man in business keeps a close watch on the future. To avoid danger he looks ahead. A Republican defeat in this county and state at this coming election may prove a disas trous calamity. Republicans cannot afford to take a backward step in this march of progress. The question of protection and free trade is always an issue. The Democratic party is now, as always, in favor of free trade." GUFFEY'S GAME. "Guffey, the boss of the Pennsylva nia Democracy, is encouraging and aiding the fusion movement in Chester county," says the Mount Union News, "and it is announced by his partisans, probably by his authority, that he will direct his efforts next year towards effecting such combinations in all the ! counties of the state, with a view of electing a legislature that will de | feat a Republican for United States | senator, and choose a Democrat, pos ! sibly Guffey himself. Under the false i pretense of 'state issues' and 'reform' he is hatching his schemes to catch I Republicans whose politics are thin and adulterated, and to divide and j weaken their party in a campaign in which not only the senatorship, but ! congress and presidency will be de pending. The success of Guffey's fu sion plans means a worse boss in con j trol of Pennsylvania politics than any that has ever been complained of in the Republican party." COOPER SPEAKS OUT. | Comment by tlio Formor Stnto Chair man Upon a Recent Polit ical MOTO. Former Republican State Chairmau Thomas V. Cooper, in the last issue of The Delaware County American, un i cler the cr.ption "A Travesty Upon the I Right of Petition," says: "The folly of the insurgent leaders I passed its climax when it subjected j Senator Quay to trial on charges shown j to be wholly manufactured for politi cal effect. His acquittal brought wis j dom to wiser men, who previously be j lieved or doubted, because belief and doubt are easy against a public man. ; This class would now like to say the incident is closed, for that position best relieves a conscience strained in the direction of the harshest thought. Still j others, and a larger class, stand by the verdict of an American jury represent ; iug all shades of. personal opinion. "And now the leaders who instituted i these proceedings have descended to j the line of protest, after being drivon I from the fighting line in nearly every ; primary of the state. The state con vention was four-fifths for Quay, and | nearly every man of the one-fifth mi ' nority represented the machines of Philadelphia and Pittsburg—machines which represent local spoils and con tracts —machines which have fleeced great municipalities without protest \ from any insurgent organ. The Quay { machine is an ideal of strength, but no i machine is an ideal of purity. Our pol ! itics have not so far advanced in gooil directions to reach that stage—but it is better than municipal machines. It does not charge for appointments, it does not get commissions on contracts, it does not seek or sell the control of city franchises —the only places where they are valuable. These facts are known of all men acquainted with poli tics. They are well known to the great ■ newspapers of Philadelphia and Pitts burg, who make it their daily task to ! assail Quay and his organization. Anil ' yet, from that quarter there is never j the shade of a protest. A reform party I or wing of a party ought to point to reforms; its organs should not shield municipal venalities. "We read protests against the parad ing of the gallant Tenth Pennsylvania, fresh from the Philippines, headed by Colonel Barnett, the Republican nomi nee for state treasurer. His command had a reception at Pittsburg, hinted at as political; at Philadelphia, en route to the exposition and New York, de nounced as factional; yet, in New York, five millions of people rose to do it honor. Theirs was the larger view. They saw Pennsylvania in its great ness, not a political atom comprising ita littleness. "And that littleness is about to dis play itself again in the form of thou sands of hastily signed petitions pro testing ejf/Tinst the seating Quay These will De signed by factionists, who care more for a feud than a party, and by Democrats who readily scent gain in Republican factional folly. It is the hope of the leaders of this move ment that it will influence Democratic senators against Quay, and as well in vite the aid of such independent think ers as Hoar and Mason. Will it do this? We judge nay. The Democratic senators are in a minority, there being IS Republican majority. Their most recent rec»rd is against seating sen ators appointed by governors. They did it in the Oregon case, where 53 Totes opposed admission, but this was because the legislature did not try to elect. It deadlocked in its organiza tion. The Washington case is more in line with that of Quay. Here two sen ators were refused admission by only three majority. The legislature had tried to elect, but failed. The Demo crats almost solidly voted against ad mission, because if these senators were then admitted it would have destroyed the Democratic majority in the senate. The Republicans almost solidly voted for admission. The Populists were di vided. Push Quay into that battle with the senate constituted as it now is nnd lie would have 14 majority. .He will more likely have 40, for his ad mission will not change results, which are Republican anyhow, and Democrats will be permitted to follow their con victions as to whether it is right to deny representation to a state. N":n ly every Republican senator and nearly 20 Democrats have pronounced for Quay, and his admission cannot ',ie . stopped by petition popguns." Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
