(From Warren Mail.) EDITOR MAIL:— Some time ago I was induced to sign a petition asking Hon. Lewis Emery, of Bradford, to be a can didate for Congress in this district. I was informed that Sibley was not a Re publican. I was further informed that Emery was a consistent Republican, always ready and willing to work for the best interests of the party and that he was not an office seeker. I have since learned that Emery has been a persistent seeker after office and that he is now willing to accept the Demo cratic nomination for Congress in hopes that he may defeat the regular Repub lican nominee and thus gratify his own political aspirations. I had supposed that Emery was seeking the office be cause he honestly believed that Sibley was not fit to represent this district in Congress. But this is all a mistake. Emery believes in Sibley. He is for Sibley as against every other person except Emery. If that is not so I would like to know how he reconciles his posi tion of the past two years. Emery owns and controlls a Repub lican paper published at Bradford known as the Bradford Daily Record. Two years ago this Emery paper sup ported the Hon. J. C. Sibley for Con gress, as against the Hon. C. W. Stone, of Warren, the regular nominee of the Republican party, and later in the pri maries this spring this same Emery Sibley for the nomina tion to Congress as against R. B. Stone, his own townsman, who was a candidate for Congress. Is this consistent? How does he reconcile his position now in accepting a Democratic nomination for Congress against this same Sibley? If Sibley was good enough for a Republi can like Emery to support when he was a Democrat and running for Congress on the Democratic ticket he ought to be good enough for the rest of us Republi i cans to support after he has come over | into the Republican camp and received | the Republican nomination. The trouble is Emery wants togo to | Congress and he is willing to distribute ; a big campaign fund, in this district, | that his ambition may be satisfied. He , claims to be a Republican and yet ho is j not willing to be governed by the rules jof the Republican party He would | defeat a Republican nominee and de j moralize the party for his own selfish j ends. I have carefully read Emery's speech ofacceptance delivered at Bradford and that of itself is sufficient to change my views in regard to the man. Heispos- I itive about nothing except such matters !as every person is agreed upon. He ! straddles every question on which the ! two great parties divide. He makes a I bid for the Populist voter. He has no ! word of encouragement or approval I for the Republican Administration. | The Republican platform is not good I enough for him to stand upon so he j makes a platform of his own, and he has straddled so many issues on that ! platform that I am afraid he will not be j able to keep his balance there. By his action he declares "Vote for j Sibley as against every other man but ; Emery, when I am a candidate vote for I me; I am better than my partv." I cannot vote for Emery after learn | ing these facts and I have arrived at j this conclusion without fear or favor ! and without solicitation from any one. Other Republicans who have signed the Emery petition express themselves in the same manner. When I signed the Emery petition I had no reason for being dissatisfied with Sibley, but it was hard to forgive him tor defeating the Republican can didate for Cngress two years ago. However I remember at that time he told the voters of this district that he was in accord with the Republican ad ministration in the crisis with Spain | and if elected he would give his hearty support to the administration. He has | done so with all his energy and ability. | When politicians attacked the adminis j tration in its policy of reconstruction at the close of the Avar with Spain he ! has always been found earnestly giving I it his support and when his party re | fused to follow the leadership of our j President in his efforts to bring honor j able peace to our country, Sibley stood j by the President and in so doing he has j been called a traitor by his party. If ; putting country before party istraitor ; ous then it were well if we were all | traitors When I further consider that Sibley has been a true friend to the men who saved this country in 1861, that he has always been a "liberal supporter of charitable institutions, that his honesty and integrity is above reproach, that he has always been a liberal rewarder of labor and his true friend, I am satis fied that we shall make no mistake in electing him to Congress. I shall vote j for Sibley. REPUBLICAN. Notice.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 16, 1900. Business or Idleness. The thoughtful voter will dis tinguish between the transient and the permanent differences between the Republican and Democratic parties. Each campaign brings to the front some temporary questions of expediency, which are intended to blind the eyes of the thoughtless and attract the floating vote. "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" won more votes than logical arguments. "Fifty-four forty or fight" aroused the whole country and not a few would have preferred the fight to the fifty-four forty. And "Hi to 1" drives sound money Democrats into the Republican party, and silver Republicans into the Demo cratic ranks. However, back of all these cam paign cries, deeper than the money question, more important than the subject of imperialism, more vital to the future welfare of the nation than militarism, is the radical dif ference between the two great his torical parties on the tariff question. It is not a question of protection and free trade. No party advocates and 110 government practices abso lute free trade. The Democratic party has, however, for years advo cated in its platforms the well de fined policy of "a tariff for revenue only," refusing to recognize as democratic the wisdom, justice or propriety of affording either pro tection to American labor or American capital invested in American industries. The avowed Republican policy, often reiterated in national plat forms and enacted into law, as is evidenced by the McKinley and Dingley tariff bills, openly affirms that the Republicans favor a pro tective tariff that will encourage the investment of American capital fn manufacturing enterprises and insure to American labor, both native and naturalized, the advant age of "a fair day's wages for a fair day's work." Both of these plans have been tried within the memory of most of those who will cast their votes next November. The Wilson-Gorman tariff bill and the effects (hereof were Demo cratic. The Dingley bill and its results are Republican. The effects produced by these two measures should be carefully weighed by every voter who desires his ballot to influence national prosperity and personal advantage. Under the operation of the Wil son-Gorman revenue tariff, the in come of the government was not sufficient to pay current expenses. The tariff for revenue only did not produce the revenue. Government bonds were sold in time of peace to pay the daily obligations of the Democratic administration. From being a debt-paying nation we be came a debt-creating nation. In dustries languished. Mills shut down. Factories closed. Building ceased. The army of the unim ployed increased. Panic came. Banks failed. Fortunes crumbled. Labor begged in vain for work. But just as soon as the people could express their verdict at the polls. Cleveland was repudiated, the Wil son-Gorman tariff bill was declared wanting and a change was de manded. With the election of a Republi can President and a Republican congress, a protective, tariff measure was enacted. The Dingley bill be came a law. What have been the results? The national treasury overflows. The Nation has fought to a successful issue two wars and has been paying debts at the same time. Bond issues have given place to bond redemption and refunding the outstanding obligations of tin- Nation at a lower rate of interest than was ever before secured by any Nation in history. Mills have been started. Factories have been running day and night. Wages have been increased. Labor has been profitably employed. The exports during the four years of the Dingley Republican tariff have ex ceeded the combined amount of all the exports of the Nation during all the previous years of our history from the beginning of Washing ton's lirst administration to the close of Cleveland's last adminis tration. There is the record. None deny it. The books have been audited, I and the balance is known to all. What do the voters want? A re turn to the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill and panic times, or a continua tion of the Dingley bill and Mc- Kinley times? Your Votes next November will decide the question. (Jen. Palmer For HcKlnley. A dispatch from Springfield, lll., a few days ago says : Gen. John M. Palmer, the leader af the Gold Democrat force, has at last broken his silence. As between Bryan and McKinley, he will vote for the the latter. "Yes," he said, "I shall vote for McKinley —that is, of course, if the ( Hold Democrats refuse to put out a ticket, and that is probable. "Mr. Bryan's views are incon sistent with Democratic harmony. Populism is unsafe, and Mr. Bry an is the high priest of that faction —a faction that is already strong enough to menace the best interests of a safe government. "If Mr. Bryan were President and controlled the legislative branches this country would be thrown in a panic which would re quire months to check and years to heal. Perhaps it is well he was re nominated. His party cannot win. and his defeat will forever settle him. "Should he be successful be would convert Democracy into Populism, and Populist principles of political economy are unsuited for the times and unsuited and un safe for a successful government. The cry of imperialism will win Bryan 110 votes to amount to any thing. It's a false alarm. This country is not, nor is McKinley and his followers believers in im perialism. Cuba will be under self-government in a little while and the Filipinos will be governed as best the administration can. "Pray what would Mr. Bryan have had this country do with the islands? We have got them, and we will hold them as they stand until some better scheme presents itself for controlling them. I think myself that the American Government would be better off without the islands, but the ad ministration has met all the de mands that have arisen there man fully and honestly.

Out of order or unstrung, there is discordance and unhappiness. Just as there is one key note to all music so there is one key note to health. A woman might as well try to fly without wings as to feel well and look well while the organs that make her a woman are weak or diseased. She must be healthy Inside or she can't be healthy outside. There are thousands of women suffering silently all over the country. Mistaken modesty urges their silence. While there is nothing more admirable than a modest woman, health is of the first importance. Every other sideration should give way before it.
