Mr. Bryan's experience in farming
bids fair to rival his career as a soldier.

Chairman Jones firmly believes he
has Croker and Hill under bonds to
keep the peace during the campaign.

Peru and Costa Rica have adopted
the gold standard. The Coin Harveys
to the south of us areexperiencinghard
luck.
Tammany is raising a campaign fund
of $2,000,000. This will naturally make
a little inroad upon the profits of the
ice trust.

Notwithstanding the unpleasant ex
periences of the missionaries Chairman
Jones continues to work upon Mr
Croker and Mr. Hill.
+ +
It is not believed that Mr. Bryan will
attempt to explain any of his miscar
ried predictions. lie will simply go
right ahead making new ones.
The Texas Populists complain that
the Democrats steal their campaign
thunder. Tho Kansas City platform is
conclusive evidence on this point.
+ +
In contemplating the evidence ad
duced in the Kentucky murder cases
the fact that §IOO,OOO was appropriated
to secure it should not be overlooked.
+ +
The Hon. Webster Davis denies that
lie plagiarized one of the speeches of
the late President Garfield. He ex
plains that he merely neglected to uti
lize the quotation marks.

The growth of the Southern cotton
industry during the past three years is
an emphatic answer to the calamity
predictions of the politicians of that
section.
All the agents and attorneys of
the foreign shipping interests are sup
porting Mr. Bryan. Fortunately the
election is to be decided by voters who
have the American interests at heart.
Owing o iiis failure of tho conven

Is it not rather late for the Hon. Adlai

VERY SENSIBLY PUT.
A Conscientious Republican Deserts
Mr. Emery.
(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.

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.
"Mr. McKinley is a safe leader.
As between him and Bryan, there
is but one course."

WOMAN
IS LIKE A DEUOATE
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
In good condition she is sweet and lovable,
and sings life's song on a joyful harmonious
string. 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. Brad
