COUNTY ORGANIZATION. B. \V. GREEN, Esq., Chairman. A. C. BLUM, Esq., Secretary, EDITORIAL HENTION. Civilization and commerce always go together. It was so in Hawaii. It will be so in the Philippines and Porto Rico. The total amount of money in circu lation has increased by 182 per cent in the last thirty years, and the deposits in savings banks by 327 per cent. Exports of agricultural products have increased 117 per cent in the last thirty years. Who says the foreign market is of no value to the farmer? | | Cotton, provisions and mineral oils show larger export values during the ten months of this fiscal year ending April 150 th last than at any time since 1892. 4- r The Republican party has persistently endeavored to strengthen and upbuild the American Navy. The Democratic party has just as persistently opposed such a policy at every opportunity. In 1895 we couldn't afford to buy ! even cheap foreign goods, and the ! Democratic revenue, under its low tar- I iff, only amounted to $131,818,530. j Last year the Republican protective I tariff realized $206,128,481. The prosecution of Neeley and his ' associates for the Cuban postal frauds is being vigorously continued by the j Administration, and will not cease till ! sentence has been pronounced on the | guilty. The United States now has a domain j nearly three times greater in area than j it possessed when it became a nation, j We have been expanding all the time, i and most of it was added by the party ! now opposing expansion. There will be no campaign "issue," in the sense in which that word is gen erally accepted, on the shipping ques tion during the coming campaign. The American people are unanimous in be half of effective legislation, and Con gress is pledged to enact it at the short session. The Ways and Means Committee very properly sat down upon Repre sentative Richardson's (Democrat) proposition to admit sugar and molas- i ses free of duty from Cuba and Porto j Rico. Its effect would have been to j make a present of $14,000,000 to the Su- j gar Trust. The record of President McKinley's 1 first term will not be complete until j provision has been made for the up- J building of our merchant marine in the j foreign trade, a question to which Con- ; gress will give its attention as soon as j the session begins next December. If the filing of the reports in favor of ! the shipping bill during the session of Congress just closed have accomplished ! nothing else, they have, at least, buried ! for all time the socalled "free ship" ! proposition, which, on examination, is 1 found to be a measure for the promo tion of British shipbuilding. I Since 1870, the population of the ! Cnited States has increased 100 per cent ! and the production of cotton 30C per | cent. With 200 per cent more increase in production than in population, the decrease in price has been less than 100 per cent, and the quantity used by American mills has increased HOO per cent. This indicates the growth and value of the home market. The Arbuckle Sugar Refining people beaten the Sugar Trust in a legal | battle in Ohio. Arbuckles held stock in the Trust's coffee factory and wanted to inspect its books, a right to which they are inti tied under a recent decision. Another blow for an octopus. + + + + Exports of American manufacturers compare thus: 1895—Free Trade. 1900—Protection. $183,595,743. $400,000,000. The increase of more than 100 per | cent shows that the tariff wall of pro : tection has not stopped the sale of our ! goods in foreign countries. I + i It is to be expected, of course, that ! Democratic Congressmen and politici j ans should be loud in their denuncia tion of Hon. H. Clay Evans, President i McKinley's Commissioner of Pensions, whom they assert is unfriendly to the ! old soldier, and the soldier's widow, for ; the reason that they are desirous of se | curing the veterans' votes. It may, however, bo of interest to these self | constitutedchampionsofthooldsoldier, I as well as to the veterans themselves, I to know that during the iirst three I years of Commissioner Evans' admin | istration of the Pension Bureau, he al -1 lowed nearly five thousand more wid j ows' claims than were allowed during the corresponding three years ,of his Democratic predecessor- During the fiscal year 1894, 1895 and 1896, widows' | allowances were 52,958 against 57,848 j during 1897, 1898 and 1899 This, too, in spite of the fact that the decrease through death of widows of soldiers of the Civil War is rapidly increasing from I year to year. Republicans Not Stool Pigeons. It is a laudable ambition for any man jto aspire for a seat in Congress. Mr. Lewis Emery, Jr., has had an itching in j that direction for a good many years. | Fourteen years ago he was given the conferees from Mclvean county to a j district convention, when it was con | nected with Cameron, Lycoming, Sul i livan, Tioga and Potter counties in a | Congressional district. McKean coun j ty was not entitled to the nomination. | Hon. W. W. Brown, a citizen of Brad- I ford, had represented the district in a j very acceptable manner for two terms, I the second closing on the following ! fourth of March. It any man was en titled to the nomination from this coun ty Mr. Brown should have succeeded himself. After the organization of the convention three candidates were pre sented for nomination besides Mr. Em ery. Lycoming county named H. Clay McCormick, Tioga Hon. S. F. Wilson and Cameron J. W. Cochran, three ex ceptionally strong men. Then com menced a contest which lasted for weeks, first in Williamsport, then in ! Bradford, then in Emporium, then back ' to Williamsport, then to Wellsboro where it came to an end by the nomi | nation of Mr. McCormick, which was j altogether a creditable one. That contest could have been ended at any time had Mr. Emery said the J word. But no, he would listen to no nomination but his own. Had he not j made a record in the two houses of the Legislature for ten years preceeding, j which entitled him to a seat in Con gress? That record was altogether on | the sensational order, but it was a record i all the same. For the six sessions that j he represented this county and district ! in the Legislature much of his time was devoted to berating the Standard Oil | company, or opposing some party meas- I ure, or he was away from Harrisburg I looking after his private business. There is no one man in the State who was more active in electing a Demo cratic governor in 1882 and again in 1890 than Lewis Emery, Jr. And can any man put his finger upon a time when he was active in the support of a Republican candidate other than him self? And this is the Republican whom the Democrats are clamoring to send to Congress from this district. At their seance in Warren recently their expres sions of admiration for Mr. Emery were fulsome. In him are consentrated all the attributes of a profound statesman, according to their declarations, and through him they hope to be led to vic tory in November. Will Republicans ! consent to be used as stool pigeons to j carry out the scheme of disrupting their : party in an alliance of this character? ■ Their candidate was nominated by an overwhelming majority, at a primary 1 election which was conducted as fairly 1 as any ever held in the county. Ho \ did not come into the county, neither 1 did he ask a single voter of the county i to support him, yet he overwhelmingly defeated one of our ablest citizens, who made a personal appeal for support to every voter he could reach. Will Re-j publicans now repudiate their candi- ! date to gratify their opponents? We i think not.—McKean County Miner Titusville World: When a lot of j kickers out of two or more political parties get their heads together to grat ify personal spite and animosity arid j go into oppose a regular party nomi nee, they become pitiable objects in the [ sight of all honest, fairminded men; ' and he whom they prevail upon to stand for their perverted and distorted doctrines must stand in an unenviable ! light. Hon. Lewis Emery, Jr., who is ; being urged to become the candidate | of a ring of dissatisfied Republicans and Democrats for Congress in the twenty-seventh district, should he con- ; sent, would only be committing politi- I cal suicide, so far as his chances for \ recognition at the hands of his party in j the future is concerned.
