The Democratic platform-makers will soon bo making room for a little sympathy for the Sultan of Turkey. Western packers paid §4.SO per 100 pounds for beef in 1896. But they paid $6.20 in 1899. The farmers got the in crease. Do they want togo back to Democratic prices? + + The New York Central Railroad and its employees have reached a satisfac tory understanding, and the walking delegate and the Democratic politicians are correspondingly sad. S. P. Florence, a Western stock raiser, says that "shearers are paid 7 cents a head and board, this season; quite an advance over the price paid in recent years." This is another argument in favor of protection for wool. ■f + An advance of 10 per cent in the wages of the employees of the West Virginia oil companies is announced. This will hardly mix with the cold water the Democratic editors are trying to throw on prosperity. Certain Democratic Representatives who refused to sign a partisan report on the shipping bill so as to enable the party managers to make political capi tal out of the measure are now de nounced by some of their party col leagues as traitors to their party. Internal revenue collections, in 1895 and 1896, cost 2.62 per cent of the mon ey collected. In 1899 only 1.50 per cent of these revenues was chargeable to collection expenses. A Republican administration is always careful of the people's money. + + Idaho's bank deposits amounted to §904,412 in 1894. Last year they were 11,358,668, showing an increase of $454,- 256 in live years. A better demand for lead and protection to wool were the main factors in bringing about this prosperity under the Republican ad ministration. + + A member of the Democratic National Committee is reported to have "cen sured" Democratic Representatives Chanler, Small and Ransdell because they filed a report on the shipping bill in accordance with their honest con victions, and which report makes it impossible for the Democrats to make ?. partisan matter out of the shipping question. A bushel of corn worth an ounce of silver! Pretty near it. On May 7 corn 7/as worth 45.'; cents a bushel in the New York market. Silver was worth 59; cents on the same day. In 1896, at the time of Bryanic prophecies as to free silver, corn was worth only 211 cents on the farm. But it has kept on advancing in price under the gold standard. Out of seven Democrats on the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries Com mittee three are for subsidies and against free ships and four are for free ships and against subsidies. The Re publican ten members of that commit tee are united in behalf of subsidies. And yet the bill remains upon the cal endar uno-onsidared. 1 consider it not only a pleasure but a dui'j' I owe to my neighbors to tell about the wonderful cure effected in iay case by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I was n very badly with flux and procured :i bottle ol this remedy. A few doses of it i fleeted a jcrmarieiit cure. I take iilct-uro in recommending it to others suffering from that dreadful disease.—J. W livxeu. Dorr, Vv r . Va. This remedy ~ld by L. Taggort. mar POINTED COnnENT. It is safe to predict that the Phil adelphia. platform will not he fram ed by a committee of professional gloom mongers. Matches was a dollar a gross cheaper last year than in 1895. That was not much of a burden on the workingman or his wife. The American voters have always resented the efforts to substitute faction for facts. They will not change their policy this year. The invitation to the selfish Mr. I'ryan to retire in favor of the un selfish Mr. Cleveland had not been accepted up to the time of going to press. Exports of corn in under free trade, were only 28,585,405 bushels. In 1898 and 1899, under protection, they averaged 200,000,- 000 bushels each year. Mr. Croker will have to hurry home to look after the honest Tam many comptroller who slopped into office through a mistake of the boss. With coffee down to 7A- cents a pound, as against nearly 18 cents in 1895, there has not been much increase in the cost of this break fast table luxury under President McKinley's administration. As a legislative proposition, the payment of subsidies to American ships in the foreign trade commands the support of three-quarters of the House Committee that considered a bill of that character. In 189-1 there were only 231,848,- 59G bushels of wheat retained for home consumption; in 1899 the quantity retained was 452,530,285 bushels. In 1894 there were thous ands of people too poor even to buy bread. In 1899 everybody could buy bread. These two comparisons represent the different conditions of the country under Democratic and Republican administrations. The free trade papers wince un der the oft-repeated statement which they cannot deny that foreign ships earn and take out of the United States each year 8200,000,000 for carrying American imports and ex ports. There is no satisfactory answer possible to the suggestion that by paying this money to Ameri can ship owners the result would be to keep the money at home, em ploying our own people instead of employing aliens abroad. Senator Vest and Quay. Senator Vest, in explaining his vote against the seating of Quay to a reporter of the Washington Post, said that he always voted against the constitutional power of a Gov ernor to appoint a Senator after the legislature, with full opportunity, had failed or refused to elect. "This," said Senator Vest, "is the 1 reason of my voting against Mr. j Quay, and, right or wrong, it will j be a lifetime sorrow that I was con | strained to inflict pain and disap j pointment upon my best friend. ! lie is an open, generous foe, and his opponents always know where !to find him. He is a born lighter, i and in my opinion the boldest and i ablest political leader inthel'nited j States. Not a word even of criti ' cisin was uttered against Quay in the debate, and if he had been at tacked I would have spoken as a | personal friend in his defense. I sincerely hope." said Senator Vest in conclusion, "that he may be elected by the legislature of Penn sylvania next winter, and when he comes back to the Senate none will welcome him more cordially than myself. If the Republicans of Pennsylvania will take advice from a Democrat they will elect him, for I know personally that no one can serve the state more efficiently than Matthew Stanley Quay." Bryan's Blanket. The Denver Republican tells a good story, and a true one, on "Kernel" Bryan that is worth re peating. When lie was speeding across New Mexico on the Santa Fe a great crowd greeted him at the CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY, 24 1900. little town of Gallup, and the great orator from the plains of Nebraska decided that lie would speak with the people. He stepped out upon the back platform, and, after bow ing his profuse thanks to the en thusiastic gathering, he delivered himself of one of his typical speech es. The people yelled themselves hoarse, and when the noise subsid ed the Mayor of the town presented him with a large Navajo blanket. Mr. Bryan seemed greatly pleased over the gift, and gave the crowd an additional treat by saying a few more words as the tnain Was pull ing out. The great man then step ped into tlie car and held up the blanket before the eyes of his ad miring friends and a few newspaper men who were making the trip with him. As he did so he noticed a slip of paper pinned to the blanket, and, supposing that it bore some pretty little burst of sentiment about the "terrible crime of 187.3," or some thing of that sort, he began to read it aloud to the people in the car. He had not gone far before he had i discovered his mistake, but it was too late to stop, and he had to fin ish it. The note was as follows: "My Dear Mr. Bryan:—Under the Republican administration the wool in this blanket sells for 22 cents a pound. Under the Demo cratic administration it sold for 6 cents. Please tell this to your con stituents." A long and sickening silence on the part of the "Kernel" followed the reading of the note, and when next the great man spoke it was about the weather and the lovely scenery. Growing Volume of Honey. The per capita man ought to be happy. For each person in the United States the amount of money in circulation is 820.12. In 1890 the figure was §2l .. r ».'s. All increase of over 20 per cent in the per capi ta within four years, making due allowance for increased population, should satisfy any one except a Populist who wants paper money to trundle around by the wagon load. More than 82,000,000,000 of money are now circulating in this country, the increase in four years reaching 8192,000,000. All these | dollars are recognized throughout i the world as equivalent to gold. Four years ago the gold circulating in the United States was 8-1 5t),000,- 000. Now it is 8785,000,000, an increase of 00 per cent. I las silver fallen back? Not a bit of it. The amount of silver and silver certifi cates in circulation has increased in four years from 8558,000,000 to 8981,000,000. For the first time the money in circulation lias passed the 82,000,000,000 mark, and every dollar is worth 100 c in gold. Here is a Republican triumph of great magnitude, so large, in fact, that the Democratic papers never refer to it. They advocate free coinage as the only road to an in creased volume of money. But in less than four years after the Chi cago platform was offered to the people as the true system of finance the circulation has increased by nearly 8500,000,000. —St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Last week a Democrat, of this county wrote the editor of the Ve nango Spectator, the ofiicial organ of the Democracy, declaring, in substance, that in case the Demo cratic conferees of this district nominate ex-Senator Emery, a Re publican of Mckean county, for Congress, that he, the correspond ent, would vote for Mr. Sibley, as the choice would be between two Republicans, and he preferred Sib ley to Emery. The Spectator, after filling a column of space in argu ment with itself, arrives at the same conclusion as its correspondent,and would favor Sibley in preference to Emery for Congress. It is but fair to say that both the Spectator and its correspondent express a prefer ence for a straight out Democrat for Congress. But we congratulate our neighbor in his determination to support Mr. Sibley, under certaiu conditions. It is but a step further to make that support unconditional and unite with the Republicans in support of Mr. Sibley. That step means political salvation for the Spectator. Why don't the Demo crats nominate Mr. Sibley if they desire to vote for a Republican can didate for Congress?— Franklin Press. All Republicans are in Line. Republicans all over the country are in harmony ou all the issues. Those of New Jersey, in their State convention to choose delegates at large to the Phil adelphia convention, gave a hearty in dorsement to President McKinley, not only on the issues which were at the front at the time of his nomination four years ago, "but in the wisdom and ex alted statesmanship with which he has dealt with the new and complex prob lems of great national consequence which have since arisen." Practically all the state conventions which have been held have taken the same ground. New Jersey was formerly about as reliably Democratic as South Carolina or Mississippi. In the Whig party's days that state usually was carried by the Whigs, but ever since the election of Taylor back in IH4S it has been Dem ocratic with scarcely a break until a few years ago. It was carried by Pierce in 1852, by Buchanan in 1856 and by the Douglas-Breckinridgc-Bell fusion in 1860. Only three states gave their elec toral votes to McClellan in 1861, and one of them was New Jersey. It voted for Grant in 1872, because it thought he was less Republican than Greeley, whom the Democrats indorsed that year. The only other time in which it chose Re publican electors was in 1896, but it has been carried by the Republicans so many times instate and congressional canvasses recently that it may be relied onto go strongly Republican in 1900. The harmony among the Republicans all over the country on all the issues which will be up in the canvass this year is of vital consequence to the party. The chism which a few Democrats were predicting 011 account ot the expansion and Puerto Rican questions is nowhere in sight The party in all the states will be in line on all questions which will be mentioned in the platform, or which will be discussed anywhere on the stump. Union among the Repub licans, of course, means victory. The only hope which even the most vision ary of Democrats had for a possible tri umph for his side depended upon a feud among the Republicans on some of the issues which have come to the front in the past year or two. This hope must now be dropped. There will be greater unity in the party than pre vailed in 1896, because the majority of the seceders at the St. Louis convention of that year are back in the party this year, and the magnitude of the victory at the polls will be greater than it was then. —St. Louis Globe Democrat. "When you can't have your own way,"' says the Manayuuk Philosopher, "it is well to pretend that the other way is yours." The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. .Ynv one who has had a;i attaek ot seiatie or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the holict. It has never been claimed that Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast out demons, hut ii will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testimony to the truth of this statement. One ap plication relieves the pain, and this ijisiek relief which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by L. Taggnrt. mar CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
