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.

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.

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.

Young Couple United in Marriage
Wednesday Afternoon.
i From Dußoia Courier May 30.
At 5:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon
j Mr. Charles Spurgeon Nale and Miss
Ella May Kresge, were united in mar
: riage at the homeof the bride's parents,
j Mr. and Mrs. A. Kresge, at 328 South
j Brady street. The ceremony was per
i formed by the Rev, C. D. Slagle, pastor
| of the United Evangelical church, in
J the presence of the immediate families
| and a few intimate friends. The out
| of-town attendants were Mr. and Mrs.
Will Kresge of Penfield, relatives of
I the bride.
The couple was supported by Mr. J.
! R. Curry, a close friend of the groom,
! and Miss Charlotte Patchell. The
wedding march was played by Miss
I Trexler. After the ceremony a sump
j tuous wedding supper was served and
j later in the evening the happy couple
I departed for the groom's home in the
I Third ward. The best wishes of nu
! merous friends and acquaintances go
i with the newly wedded young couple.

I competition. It is quite a distinction

I numbering hundreds. The prize was a

The Cireat Ithoda Royal Shows, which
j are billed for this town, is certainly
I entitled to patronage. Every town or
j city in which this gigantic amusement
j enterprise has been seen this season, its
| spacious tents have been filled by the
| best of the amusement loving public,
i The features are certainly calculated to
! please, and this fact coupled with the
j carefully considered reputation of the

| record that cannot fail to recommend it
jto all. Manager I. V. Strebig says:
j "The Great Rhoda Royal Shows intend
to win for itself a reputation solely on
its merits. We make 110 promises we
! do not fulfill]; advertise nothing we do
I not show; and give a clean, pure show,

Would Not Suffer so Agnin for Fifty
Times Its Price.
I awoke last night with a severe pain ;
in my stomach. I never felt so badly in
all uiy life. When 1 came down to work
this morning I felt so weak I could
hardly work. 1 went to Miller & Mc-
Curdy's drug store and they recommend- :
ed Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and i
Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like I
magic and one dose fixed me all right, j
It certainly is the finest thing I ever
used for stomach trouble. I shall not be i
without it in my home hereafter, for I !
should not care to endure the sufferings i
of last night again for fifty times its i
price.—(i. 11. Wilson, Liveryman, l»ur- j
