This was the cry of the democratic party in 1896: "Give lis free silver and prices will ad vance all along the line." But the Republicans killed free silver and prices went up just the same. On the 2d of April, 1900, close I upon 1,000 free rural postal deliv- | «>ry routes had been established, some of them serving as many as twelve or fifteen hundred people daily, the average being 750 per sons to a route. Not one State ••which had asked for the service has v '« en left unrepresented. The good work is still going on. Nothing f-hort of a revolution can now check it. Che Manila correspondent of a l.'arie paper, "Le Temps," wrote that if the Filipinos "did not ex pect help from the Democrats the J lulling of American citizens and 4 he expenses of the war would end sit once." Every human being who wishes to see our soldiers de- I : ; seated is opposed to McKinley. It ' is singular indeed what sympathy ' -he Democratic party inspires! ; among the enemies of our country, j , "YVe Know Our Business," Yes! We j Do.

Aguinaldo's next bit of encourage ment will bo carried in the Kansas City platform. t i The political organization that de pends upon the unrest and discontent ment for its success is an excellent thing to deprive of power. » * * , The value of raw sugar in the coun tries of its production waß 25 per cent ! higher last March than the average ' price in 1897. ! * * "Republican legislation has tied our ; hands; we could do no great amount of harm in four years." Are the voters ! prepared to turn the government over to men who come to them with such » appeals? t t The Kentucky Democrats may find the locking up of the Republican ma jority a rather costly thing before they j are done with it. t x 1 \ Whether it is better to keep on pay ing §200,000,000 a year to foreign ship owners, or legislate so that American ships may earn that money and keep it at home, is one of the things Congress will decide before adjournment, t t The closing of the mill opens a fresh i petal of Democratic hope. Fortunately | few such openings and closings are tak ing place now days. t i A Kansas editor has referred to the Hon. Champ Clark as "a diamond pin in the shirt front of freedom." Those who have witnessed the manner in which the gentleman from Missouri hops about from issue to issue are dis posed to regard him as a sort of a linch pin in the shirt front of fleadom. t t The unusual enthusiasm shown at recent State conventions, and the earn est efforts put forth to get places on the ticket by the Republican candidates, form good evidence that they are con vinced that this is a winning year. + t + + Notice has been served on the gold Democrats that, if they will return to the fold, the Chicago platform will be | changed to the extent of varying the I order of the subjects treated, and if they insist on still further changes, those having the matter in charge may shift the 16 to 1 plank round so as to read 32 to 2. But all backsliders who come in under this new confession of faith must do works meet for repent ance before they can hope to have a place at the pie counter. + + + The Democrats are very much in need of a few more principles and a few less expediences. + + 4* 4* With our iron ore in the ground, ready to be mined, our rolling mills in readiness to make shapes for shipbuild ing, and our shipbuilders all ready to begin the upbuilding of an American merchant marine, it will be a sad thing for Congress to neglect to provide the necessary legislation to that end before adjournment. 4- + If the Democratic party could secure a new platform, new managers and a new candidate as easily as they secure a new convention hall, the Republicans might not feel so confident of the result of the coming election. t t The Pacific Slope, from Puget Sound to Lower California is a unit for expan sion. The voters out there will no more vote to retire from the Philippines than New Yorkers would vote to abolish all Atlantic commerce. It is not difficult to convince them that trade follows the flag. t t If the hard times that the country suffered during the former administra tion were not on account of, but in spite of, Democratic effort to prevent them, and the present prosperity is due not to Republican efforts to bring it about, but in spite of the same, the only safe thing for the lover of prosperity to do is to endeavor to keep that party in power whose blunders make good times. + + It would be amazing enough if the predictions of the free traders that ! nothing will be done for American shipping at the present session of Con gress, and that nothing can be done for i American shipping at the next session, J should turn out to be prophetic. + + This Administration expresses no | opinion of the Boer war because it is none of our business to do so. What would have been thought, for instance, 1 if any European government had ex- j pressed an opinion, or attempted to in- < terfore, in our war with Spain? The ( whole country would have howled, and < rightly so. Why, then, should we med- * die with the affairs of others? J + + c Free traders and defenders of foreign r interests in the United States are glee- 1 fully predicting the postponement and defeat of shipping legislation. ( t t \ Cannadian efforts to drive American j goods out of the Dominion market by i discriminating duties in favor of British ( goods have not yet been successful. | j On July 1 next Canada tariff rates will t be still further lowered in favor of the t products of the United Kingdom. c CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY, 10 1900. The Emporium Liars Club. The Emporium Club held an inter r eating session last Friday evening, an unusually large number of members being present. Wm. Snyder, a very - able and experienced member, was - chosen as chairman. Snyder, after a j few remarks, cut loose, and for an hour or more it was impossible to get a chance to breathe. He told his bear - story, his pig story, his soldier story, t and many others, all of which deserve 3 mention, but owing to want of space we are unable to publish. Dalrymple handed in his resignation, rand gave as cause for so doing, that 112 "the club hold their meetings too far i from the brewery." A motion was r made to change the meeting place and 1 he decided not to resign. Ed. McNerney then took the floor and poured some hot shot at Johnny I Hogan, who threw a tobacco quid and . hit John Waddington in the eye. • While Waddington danced the two step, Geo. Skinner told of his trip to the Philippines and said that lie ■ thought of returning next fall to spend • the winter. At present Mr. Skinner is playing ball with the Rich Valley team, but has been unable to find any -1 body to hold his curves. Willard Sweezy is endeavoring to catch them, and does quite well, but has to use a bird cage. Secretary Brennan read a commu nication from Pap Blodget, saying the Sinnemahoning club would not pay Emporium a visit this spring as some of the members were away and he had sore feet, which had a very disgusting odor. The secretary was notified to write a letter sympathizing with the old man, as we have several members which the club expect to give a vaca tion for the same ailment. James Haley threw an egg and hit Brennan on the head. Wow, wow! It took some time to restore order .and then "Smike" Blinzler arose and said his friend Kackenmeister, while in attack of the nightmare the other night, had a terrible experience, and the club lined them both for drink ing water before retiring. An application for membership from "Big Joe," was then read and accepted and R. H. Hirsch appointed to prepare the candidate for initiation, who re tired and in a few minutes had his man in tow, on the end of a rope halter. The usual ceremonies were gone through with, but as the goat was not feeling well, a wheel barrow with the "little giant" attachment was substi tuted and all went well until the in vention was put into working order, when great excitement prevailed. Joe jumped through a window and landed squarely on Dalrymple's cow and succeeded in getting away. Hirsch was fined for not attending strictly to business and it was decided that hereafter all candidates should wear a cow bell, in case such a thing should ever happen again it would be impossible to escape. No further busi ness the club adjourned. BSaF" EXCURSION NOTICES. REDUCED RATES TO WASHINGTON j D. C., VIA PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD. Account Imperial Council, Order of Mystic Shrine.

Dod son, Druggist Emporium, Pa. 3-l-491y The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who has had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, but it will cure i rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One ap plication relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by L. Taggart. mar CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
