mtine Republican principles are
"ike pure air and healthful sur
roundings. 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."

Referring to the proposed talk of
President McKinley and Governor
Roosevelt to workingmen in Chica

paper asks: '"What will labor

labor will say, but we know what
it might say. It would be some
thing like this: "Do not spend

not necessary . Wo could hardly

SIBLEY'S TALK
Before the McKean County Republican
Committee —Why he Deserted the
Democratic Party.
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

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.

j candidates upon the Republican
'ticket for governor. He is the

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

successfully the action of the Re
publican president.

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.

Every woman loves to think of the
time when a soft little body, all her
own, will nestle in her bosom, fully
satisfying the yearning which lies in
the heart of every good woman. But
yet there is a black cloud hovering
about the pretty picture in her mind
which fills her with terror. The
drsad of childbirth takes away much
0? the joy of motherhood. And yet it t
need not be so. For sometime thero jj
has been upon the market, well-known J
and recommended by physicians, a 1
liniment called a
| Mother's MeiM
v/hich makes childbirth as simple and
easy as nature intended it. It is a
strengthening, penetrating liniment,
which the skin readily absorbs. It
gives the muscles elasticity and vigor,
prevents sore breasts, morning sick
ness and the loss of the girlish figure.
