But Boss Bry an wanted it, and Prince David voted lor it, so that settled it. The New York World (Dei a.) asks if we are to have a more dis tinctively American financial sys tem, why not also an American yardstick, an American gallon, or an American pound weight— especially when selling the Tam many trust's ice? It is generally conceded that no more formidable candidate could be encountered than Hon. .1. G.Sibley, whose popularity with the people, regardless of party lines, has been increased by his splendid record in the last session of Congress. No representative from this district ever accomplished more for the people than lias Mr. Sibley. In th' Pension department, Postal department and Agricultural de partment and in every branch of public service Mr. Sibley has been indefatigable in the di-chargeof his on roiis duties. He at nds several times the amount of lii< salary in looking after the interests of his co; tituents and his popularity with the president and other high officials puts liini in a position to have his requests acceded to. Pres ident Mckinley, in referring to Mr. Sibley stated that lie thought that IK; was the hardest working mem ber in Congress. 1 lie reasons for Mr. Sibley's re ti; i ll •11 c from the ranks of Democ racy have been fully explained and it innot be denied thai he was if" ; itcd by the hr lest patriotism and deepest sincerity. He received th" nomination from the Republi cs i party in a regular and credit* ' ' inner u. ! h.- deserves the "en era I support of the party during the forthcoming campaign.—War ren Mirror. EMERY'S BIG BARREL. With the Contributions of His Friends ! He Will Have a Huge Fund. In the AVasliington telegram in last Thursday's Pittsburg Commer cial-Gazette, was the following, from a staff correspondent, Charles W. Metzger: From political rumors which have been floating around the cap ital city, it can be safely predicted j that Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of the 27th • Pennsylvania district, is to have the fight of his life this fall. It is stated that parties are engaged in the raising of a cam paign fund to defeat Sibley, which fund,"it is stated, will reach the I'iiormous sum of $200,000. This, in addition to the amount which it j is stated Mr. Kniery, of Bradford, ; Mr. Sibley's opponent, will putin j will constitute a sufficient fund to I enable the managers to place $1,500 1 in every voting precinct in the dis trict. to be handled by the leaders , in the precinct who are in opposi ■ tion to Sibley. Lewis Emery, .Jr., of Bradford, has a strong ambition to reach Congress, and his individual linan- J j eial ability alone is many times j greater than that of Sibley. To i offset this immense campaign fund ' the Sibley men are banking on their i candidate's ability on the stump, ! and when the campaign opens i Northwestern Pennsylvania is de | stined to see the greatest political 1 battle between contending forces ' that has ever been witnessed there. The friends of Air. Sibley here state that he expressed the intcn -1 tion of not spending one dollar more than absolutely required for ; literature and speeches, and that success or failure of his canvass i will in the main depend upon his i efforts on the stump. The present | intention of his managers, it is j stated, is to start the speaking | campaign about the middle of Jul}' I and continue it unceasingly up uii j til the day of election, it is stated ! also that some of the greatest polit | ical orators in the United States ! will visit the district during the | canvass in behalf of Air. Sibley, | and it is generally regarded here that unless Mr. Emery comes out , Hat-footed for Bryan he will be un able to secure Democratic speakers. It is also stated by one of Mr. j Sibley's close political friends now in Washington that Mr. Sibley is going to take the most effective and stringent measures to prevent the improper use of money. If this is J done it is likely that the immense campaign fund of $2.j0,000 will not I avail as much as though it were allowed togo unchecked. A (irnntS Record. To the notification committee President AlcKinley spoke with pardonable pride upon theachievc j ments of the Republican party ! during the incumbency of the first j office in the direction of the affairs ;of the nation. In relation to j finance and tariff, the leading is j sues of the last campaign, he said: "Have those to whom was con ' j tided the direction of the Govern ment kept their pledges? The peo ple are not unfamiliar with what has been done. The gold standard has been re-affirmed and strength ■ ened. The endless chain has been 1 i broken and the drain upon the I gold reserve no longer frets us. The , ! credit of the country has been advan ced to highest place among all na tions. We are refunding our bond ed debt bearing three and four and i five per cent, interest at two per ; cent, a lower rate than that of any j other country, and already more than $.'>00,000,000 have so been | funded, with a. gain to the govern '< ment of many millions of dollars, j Instead of 10 to I.for which our : : opponents contended 4 years ago, legislation has been enacted which I while utilizing all forms of our i money, secures one fixed value for 1 | every dollar and that the best I known to the civilized world. A tariff which protects American | labor and industry and provides i ample revenues is written in pub lie law. We've lower interest and higher wages; more money ■ and fewer mortgages. The world's markets have been opened to I j American products, which go now where they have never gone before. We have passed from a bond is -1 suing to a bond paying nation; i from a nation of borrowers to a . nation of lenders; from fear to con , lidence: from idleness to profitable • mployment. The public faith has been upheld; public order has ' been maintained. We have pros • j perity at home and prestige abroad.'' CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 1900. Our Able Congressman. It is becoming more apparent | every day to the voters of the Twenty-seventh Congressional dis trict regardless of party affiliations, that in Hon. Joseph 0. Sibley the district has a representative of un excelled ability, fitness and force, j and one who, by keeping his prom- i ise to the people has been forced to | ally himself to the wise and patri-1 otie administration of President j McKinley. They recall distinctly j Mr. Sibley's anti-election pledges, j namely, to persue such a course in i Congress as in his honest judg- j ment would best subserve the in- j terests of the whole people, regard- 1 less of party lines, and they have j failed to iind any disregard of those pledges. The frank, open j and courageous avowal of Mr. Sibley of his belief in the estab- j lished financial policy of the Re- ; publican party, and in the enor- | mous advantages of our territorial i expansion and his disavowal of j further belief in the unlimited coin- I age of silver at the ratio of 10 to I, and of other Populist dogmas, j j have challenged and obtained the | admiration and approval of hosts j I of our intelligent and thoughtful ! voters. True a few chronic kick- i ers and malcontents criticize Mr. \ Sibley, and would destroy him. if they could, just as they would de -1 cry and destroy any other conscien- I tious and painstaking representa ! tive whose very word and act fail- j jed to coincide with their views. I Happily they who make up the i j sum total of this class, are but a 1 i small minority of our people of 1 i either party. As a rule, the voters : ! of MeKean county are intelligent ; and fair. They have observed | i with much satisfaction the good I record of Mr. Sibley in the last ses- i j sion of Congress. The known ! ! commendations of his course by | the President frequently and cor- , I dially expressed, have tended to j further popularize Mr. Sibley, j The vote of approval of McKcan county Republicans at their pri i maries, flattering and emphatic as jit was, will be as nothing in com ! parison with the vote of approval he will receive at the polls in N'o j vein her next. It is safe to assume I that he is appreciated by the peo ■ pie of the district regardless of | party affiliations. —Bradford Kra. POINTED COnnENT. The same old candidate, the same old issue, the same old ending. 4- 112 After the scenes at Kansas City, the less the Democrats say about bosses the better. 4- b Now watch Croker act as t lie Li Hung Chang of Tammany and settle the Ice Trust troubles. Oh no, the farmers are not on the fence this year. Not on your life. They are too busy working in the fields. Hill ought to be obliged to Croker for martyrizing him. Otherwise his polit ical resurrection might not have come about. Grover must feel somewhat blue when he sees that 16 to 1 was inserted by the vote of Hawaii and remembers that he did his best to exclude those islands from the United States. + + + + Col. Bryan, having insisted on put ting the 16 to 1 plank in the platform, will let it stay there and decline to brandish it during the campaign. But he will lift it quickly enough if he should win. -f + The Democrats may try all they like to make so-called "imperialism" the paramount issue, but the country un derstands pretty well that silver will continue to be so until the Democracy recants its stand in regard to it. + + It is officially stated that the British have lost -13,000 men in South Africa since the war began about eight months ago, and the Boers seem nearly as full of fight as ever. During June the Brit ish losses were some -1,000. Was it really worth it, Dir. Chamberlain? + Y Scarcely a month ago, the Democrats in Congress refused to permit the in crease of army to a size proportionate to our importance in tho world. Now these same Democrats are c'amoring that the President should call Congress ir extra session and again ask them to 112 .'ant him tho men necessary to inain ain the honor of the flag in China. A representative Southerner, address ing the cotton spinners of the South, at their annual convention at Charlotte, N. C., lately, declared that for years pr"seeding the Civil War the sentiment of subsidizing American shipping was a growing one in the South, and he quotes from Democratic platform and Southern convention utterancas to prove his assertion, lie said, in addi tion, that the South is again reaching tho same conclusion in regard to Amer ican shipping needs that it reached a half a century ago There will b.; a few bourbons to favor the free registry of foreign built instead oft he • instruction of American ships, at the Kansas City convention, but if progmis in contro the proposition will bo killed.

This extra £2,000,000 a I day earned by American workingraen ! is a large factor iu the present prosper j ity, and the.people may thank the Re ! publican Protective tariff and honest i money for the improvement.—Tacoma | (Wash.) Ledger. Calamity wailing will have little ef j feet this year, when every man who | wants work can find employment at ! good wages. When the pockets aud stomachs of tiio people are empty, as thev were during the greater part of the disasterous Democratic panic, it is easy to make thein swallow any eco nomic remedy that is prescribed for their ills. —Cleveland Leader. When W. J. Bryan talks of temporary prosperity under Republicanism, he only reminds the people that perma nent adversity is the rule when Demo crats are in power and they have had all they want of that. Even temporary prosperity is far more to be preferred than permanent adversity. It is a wise man who knows what to say and what not to say, but that man is not W. J. Bryan. —Bedford (Pa.) Inquirer. Having criticised Mr. MeKinley yes terday for sending troops to China, a certain Bryan organ savs to-day he would better hurry up and save Ameri can lives. This is the real anti-expan ' sion idea. Uphold American honor but I maintain no army; don't send soldiers i to China, bn' if Americans perish be ' cause no soldiers are sent, denounce the ! Government.—Kansas Citv (Mo.) Star. | A South Dakota editor has discovered ! that the Philadelphia convention was a I "frost." Tiiis will be news to those 1 who read the account of the demo.. stri- I tions which were aroused by there ' nomination of MeKinley and the nom ination oi the Rough Uider. But per- I hap:? what was meant was to express ! the conviction thu. it was a '•frost" to Bryanism, which is no doubt true.— Sioux Falls (-S. I>.) Argus-Le.ider. The poorhouses are doing a slim bua |in s under MeKinley. The thriving | State of Kansas has only one pauper at | the State poor farm. It was not that way. however, under Cleveland—the poorhouses, as well as the -onp houses, flourished under the Wilson bill. They I are two of the principal institutions outside of sheriffs that prospered under the Democratic Free-Trade and free : silver rulers.- -Bedford (Pa.) Inquirer. "It is a good time," said a prominent farmer yesterday,"for farmers who have anything to sell. There has i:ever j been A time in BOJ experien* ©,"he went on, "when everything which the farmer raises has brought so good prices. Wheat, corn, lions, cattle, horses, sheep, everything is bringing go.-rl prices." It was not so four years ago, when no l farm produoi ! •••ought a really good price. And yet there arc those who are haying that farmers will not vote for tho Republican candidate for President I as freely as they did in 1896.—lndiauap , olis Journal.
