They not only attract' the wayfaring man, but in the ap propriation of them inspiration and strength are imparted. Mr. -ibley's opponent is a political non de script. On the ship subsidy question he is against Bryan and the Democrats, vet on the l<> to I unancial scheme, then. d. s. comes out squarely and says if Bryan is elected he will support the admin istration on the money question. llis platform was planned to be cut on the bias to suit both parties, but it is a horrible mistit all 'round. It is a vote-looser. The non-de script candidate is trying to be a gold and silver Democrat, Populist, Republican and Independent at he same time. iTis energies are hampered by his apologies and his apologies are rendered valuless by sur, eratic and inconsistent energies. Mr. Sibley is nothing if not a Re publican. His opponent is any thing and everything but a Re publican." What labor Hight Say. Referring to the proposed talk of President McKinley and Governor Roosevelt to workingmen in Chica go on Labor Day, an opposition paper asks: '"What will labor say' We do not know what labor will say, but we know what it might say. It would be some thing like this: "Do not spend mucii time in speaking, for it is not necessary .

We take the following report of, Mr. Sibley's remarks before the Me- j Kc.'in County Republican Committee, at Bradford, from the Era: Mr. Sibley stated that he did not j intend to make a speech to the com- j mittee; it.was merely talk. He had j learned that a meeting was to be held i in Bradford and he had stopped off 011 J iiis way home from Lake Champlain, | where for two months he had been en joying a vacation. During that time he had seen no Pennsylvania papers; and had no idea as to what they had been saying about him. Mr. Sibley stated that he had no | apologies to offer because of his can didacy. He had changed his mind on certain important political questions, because of the changed conditions which have come with the times. The prevalent prosperty had convinced him that the Republican party's methods are the best for the country, and therefore he is in line with that! party's platform. "Since 1896," said Mr. Sibley, "$1,000,0(10,000 have been ! added to the gold moneys of the world, and the prices of all commodities have been rising and rising. And now the ' question of low prices is settled and for the next 25 years 1 look for the brightest prosperity to continue. The 1 farmer, who for years has been crawl ing along through the slough of dt>- spond, is climbing onto firm and solid ground, and at last sees the star of hope shining through the clouds that have so long hung over him. "Now then, is it for me to make any apology for affiliating with a party which has proved beyond question that it was right ? I'd rather see any party with which I was affiliated sink into oblivion than to see the American people go there.- 1 believed in free silver. In 1896 I stood up and honest ly and openly advocated the measure, because we did not have enough gold in the country to do the business. Now we have money enough and we will have more and more. To-day we have three times as much gold in the country as we had then, and do you know what that means to you and me? It means the employment of three times as many men, three times as wide a field of endeavor. Do you think I will stand up for these condi tions'? Or will I stick to party? James Hill, of the Great Northern railway, is building on the Pacific coast two Ihe Republican l'arty is for Sibley. It is useless for the enemies of the Republican party to pretend that there is any considerable op position in this district to the elec tion of the Franklin citizen, be cause such is not the case. When Mr. Sibley asked to be sent to Congress from ibis district upon the Democratic? ticket tlie Republi cans did their best to defeat him and succeeded twice out of three j times. It was a bitter contest that was waged upon every occasion and the Republicans left no effort to defeat him go by default. Mr. Sibley is naturally a Republican and whatever may have been his faults during the past two years he lias shown that manly, sturdy in dependence that invariable wins the admiration and confidence of j the masses of people at times and under all circumstances. Who that does not know Sibley to have the courage of his convic tions? Who lias ever attempted to dis pute that Sibley was of all things else a lover of fair play and a de fender of the best things in the country as he saw them? Who ever knew him to refuse his influ ence or his help to any and every good cause. Sibley is a man big enough to see a mistake if he has made one and admit it. Sibley be lieves national honor to be high and far above all other things and ne has been one of the most ardent and loyal defenders of President McKinley during the past two years, lie has not been undecid ed or wavering in his support, but he has been open, brave and frank at all times. The people of this district have kept a close watch upon him and in an open contest they declared their faith in him and have said that they desire to send him back to congress, and have placed him upon the regular Republican ticket. In opposition to him is a candidate who does not care to state where he stands. He is the candidate of CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 1900. steamships, each of twice the carrying capacity of the Lucania. These ships will be used to help supply the < )rien tal demand for our products. It will require ;i trainload of wheat, six miles long, to till one of these boats. The Orientals are beginning to eat our wheat and we are going to sell it to them. Now, should I second the President in his endeavors to open the door of the East to our products, or shall we stick to the ideas of some old dead and gone fossils and refuse to progress because it is un-Democratic? "Now, gentlemen, I have represent ed your district in Congress 1 may have made some mistakes—that is something to which we are all liable but if you can find one man that can say I ever told him a lie, I'll withdraw. If in the progress of this campaign, you will find one dollar that will go into Sibley's pocket, without m\ hav ing given 100 cents in exchange tor it, I'll pull out as unworthy to represent honest people. I have been called a 'traitor.' Well, when I saw national prosperity and happiness 011 one side, and saw men putting blocks under the wheels of progress on the other, it didn't take me long to decide upon which side to stand." Mr. Sibley told how he had met Mr. Emery the day before, and stated that the meeting had been very cordial and candid. Mr. Sibley said that he be lieved he would win the contest in this congressional district. "I have been reading Mr. Emery's platform," said the speaker, "and I am glad to see that he is in favor of a ship subsidy bill, but in that he is against Mr. Bryan and the whole Democratic party. The Emery platform is a funny one, however, particularly the finan cial plank. There all kinds of planks in that platform, so it ought to be a | good one. If Mr. Emery is elected, he will find himself in a most anomolous 1 position. He isn't with the Republi- I cans and he isn't with the Democrats, j Moreover it will take him two years :to get his bearings. It took me a long 1 time to learn the entrances and exits I to and from the White House, the ! Capitol and the other buildings. And Iso I say if you elect Mr. Emery this I time, elect him again and send him j back the third time. Then ho can do j you some good. tf, however, you j want to send me, I will represent you to the best of my ability. I free silver at 1(> to I. He is a ean i didate of tlie anti-imperalists. He | did everything in his power to de ; feat two of the regularly nominated j candidates upon the Republican 'ticket for governor. He is the j candidate at the present time of ; anything and everything that is | anti-Republican and being so why j should any Republican in this dis trict be in favor of such a man as against one who had the courage to stand up in the halls of Con gress and defend eloquently and successfully the action of the Re publican president. The Repblicans of this district I have neither the desire or the in j tention of placing a straw in the J pathway of Mr. Sibley. lie is in ! the correct path now, and if there lis anything Erie and Crawford ' county Republicans can do to aid 'in the success of Mr. Sibley they ! are going to do it.—Erie Times, When Business Ls Disturbed. It lias come to be common to talk about the disturbance to busi ness which is caused by the pros pect of a Presidential election. 1 there a single business interest in the country which would .- offer in the slightest degree, is there a single business man who would have one moment of anxiety about his business and its continued prosperity if it were settled beyond the pread venture of a doubt that William McKinlcy is to be Presi dent of the United States for the next four years, and that our pres ent national policy is to be contin ued ? We venture to say that not one such could be found, unless he should be a pawnbroker or a dealer in some other trade which prospers out of the adversities and the poverty of the many. It is a cur ious fact and one worthy of some thought that business never suffers at the prospect of a Presidential election in Free-Trade times. Then, as all our past experience shows, things can't be any worse than they are. and the very possi- j bilitv of a change from that un- • American policy gives a little tone to business. The only time when business is unfavorably affec-ted by the prospect of a Presidential elec tion and a possible change of policy is when we are enjoying the pros perity which always results from a Protective Tariff policy. Fortu nately, this year, tliere is such an inJinitesimally small possibility of any change that business condi tions continue steady and compar atively unaffected. Wouldn't it be a good idea to make the contin uance of the prosperity bringing American policy of Protection so absolutely sure always that we need never fear lest there be change? It is worth thinking al >out. —in erica 11 Economist. Mason Hill. Mr.-#. James I'ussell i.s reported vciv sick. Mrs. C. W. Williams and Mr.-. <). 1!.
