Bit YAK POINTED COnriENT. We can see a way by which Mr. Bryan's two speeches a day can lie resolved into the nature of a con scientious performance. " The constituents of Mr. Petti grew owe the country a duty, and there is every reason to believe they will perform it in November. The wooziness of Minister Wu appeals strongly to Mr. Pettigrew. In fa'\l lite South Dakota states man i • 1 \ impressed with the Ghiit , nof government. 17. < , -tin Vermont was en tirely satisfactory, thank you; but good Republicans and good anti- Silverites everywhere will keep on working just the same. No recognized government op poses the policy of the United States in the Philippines. The entire op position comes from Aguinaldoand the Democratic party. Failing in his effort to boss the Maryland Republicans Mr. Well ington lias taken his political play things and moved over into the Democratic party where bossism stands a better show. Voting for Bryan on the theory that a Republican Senate will pre vent liitn putting hi* heresies into practice is not a practice that will appeal strongly to the intelligence of the country. The Republican party is not try ing 1° combat the theory that strikes make Democratic votes. The. Republican party has devoted its time and attention to the work of removing the Democratic causes for strikes and commercial depres sion. JUDAS ISCARIOT IN THE SHADE. "The fact that the Republican party recognizes in HON. JOSEPH C. SIBLEY, OUR PRESENT CONGRESSMAN, A PERSON WHO POSSESSES IN A HIGH DEGREE ALL OF THE QUALI FICATIONS NECESSARY TO BE ONE OF THE PARTY STAN DARD BEARERS, is a sufficient refutation of the great masses of rot dumped upon an unsuspecting public bv RENEGADE REPUB LICANS* AIDED BY SOME FEW of THE DEM( >CR ATIC FA ITH.'' —Emery's Bradford Record. The above is what Emery thought a few short months ago, or at least pretended to think. He was then actively supporting Mr. Sibley for nomination by the Republicans, with all the power and influence of a daily newspaper which he owned, controlled, directed, and supported at the expense of his own bank ac count. This same Emery is now the nominee of a few Democratic bosses reinforced by some Republi cans whose future is behind them. His act of treachery to Sibley has 110 more to paliate it than the Mo doc Indians might have offered for calling General Canby for a peace talk only to set up and murder him. It is wonderful what sins can be committed in the name of reform. Hereafter when Mr. Emery proffers the hand of political friendship the intended victim will not take the extended hand until he is sure there is not a dagger in the other, nor pledge in the wine cup till after Emery drinks some of it. These are figures of speech but they illus trate the principle. —Oil City Bliz zard. The Full Dinner Pail. The bank deposits and the sav ings of the people always give a test of prosperity. Since the dark days of Democracy when the Wil son Tariff bill was in effect there has been a tremendous change. It will be remembered that the so called Wilson bill, that is to say. the bill that was passed, was not the real Wilson bill. The original bill was very much more stringent, and was indorsed by President Cleveland. So disgusted was lie because the measure was amended by Congress and made less drastic that he refused to sign it and per mitted it to become a law without action. But in spite of its amended con dition it brought disaster. We all remember those dark days when mills were closed and men had to go down into their pockets for sub scriptions to found soup houses to save the victims of Democratic control from starvation. It is well to compare the statis tics of those dark days with the present time. In 1894, when De mocracy. under President Cleve land. was at its height, the total amount of money deposited to the credit of the people of the United States was 82,874,589,40(5. In 1899, in the midst of the Republican ad ministration. these figures had been increased to 84,608,096,005, an in crease of almost one and three quarter billions of dollars. Does any one doubt these fig ures ? Then we refer him to the report of the Comptroller of the Currency of the United States for 1H99. The figures are official. In the following table will be found the number of depositors : Bank. Total No. Depositors. 1894. 1899.

Russell Sage declares that Mr. Bryan would have togo to Wall street for advice if he were elected President. Mr. Sage evidently forgets that in the somewhat justly celebrated "crown of thorns" speech Mr. Bryan defined the Gold Bug. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1900. "Dear Boy" Letters. My Dear Boy —You say that you have read Mr. Bryan's speech at Indianapolis and that ''there are some things in it that appears to be reasonable.'' Well, Mr. Bryan is a very pleas ant speaker and can make a plaus ible showing when he has a very weak case. He is a clever, respec table gentleman who "earns his bread by the sweat of his jaw," and he has learned his trade very well. But let me call your atten tion to a few solid facts for you to consider before you feel inclined to yield your mind to his brilliant generalities about imperialism. 1. Mr. Bryan's record proves him to be an unsafe leader. He is a theorist rather than a practical man of affairs. In every campaign in the past and upon every issue heretofore presented to the people for settlement, Mr. Bryan has been mistaken. The results have prov ed that he was mistaken. The natural presumption is that he is mistaken now. When a Demo cratic Congressman and also when a Populist leader in 1892, Mr. Bry an was very sure that Free Trade was the thing needed to insure prosperity in the United States, lie was sure that the "robber tar iff" was making it hard for the farmer and the wage earner to live. He and those who believed as he did succeeded in convincing the people, and the Wilson bill, a free trade measure, was adopted and became a law. Three years of bit ter experience proved that Mr. Bryan and his friends were mis taken. Factories were closed; la boring men were without employ ment; capital found 110 productive investment, and the produce of the farm brought no adequate return to the farmer from 1893 to 1897 while this Free Trade bill was the law. In 189G Mr. Bryan and his Dem ocrat-Populist following dropped the tariff issue like a hot potato and took up that of free silver. During that campaign he declared that if the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was notadopted, if a gold standard continued to be the law and become a fixed policy of the country, "that prices wiil go down is as certain as the law of gravitation;" that "the rich will grow richer and the poor poorer;" that "there will be a decrease in the amount of money in circula tion;" that "the army of the unem ployed will continueto increase." Results have proven that Mr. Bryan was again mistaken. Every one of hify predictions turned out to be false. We have now a protec tive tariff and the gold standard law. Prices have gone up instead of down, while the rich have grown richer the poor have shared in the general prosperity, the amount of money in circulation has largely increased, and labor was never more generally employed nor more adequately rewarded than now. Is it not fair to presume that the gentleman who has always been mistaken upon every other leading issue is mistaken about imperialism, which he declares to be the "para mount issue of this campaign?" 2. Your father remembers two campaigns before this when impe rialism and militarism were the key note of the Democratic war cry. The first was in 18(34, when the mighty Lincoln, whose name you bear, was a candidate for re election. I was not quite old enough to vote for him, although I was carrying an Enfield rifle in the Union army, and I remember how unjust it seemed to me because I was old enough to fight and not old enough to vote. 1 remember that our Democratic friends said that the re-election of Lincoln meant the downfall of the republic and the establishment of an empire by force of arms. The same cry came to the front in 1872 when General Grant was a candidate for re-election. "Caes aristn," "nepotism," and "military tyranny" were the sum and sub stance of every Democratic speech, and the downfall of the republic was predicted if Grant should be elected. Well, the logic of events proved that our Democratic friends were mistaken. Lincoln and Grant were elected, but the republic lived on. No empire was established. No army tyrannized over the peo ple. The nation grew and pros pered. Free speech, free schools, and free press not only continued but enlarged their privileges and powers. In this letter I have shown you that the presumption is against the Democratic position. In every campaign for forty years the logic of events has proved that the Democrats were wrong and the Republicans right. It is not unfair to presume that such is the case this year.

The difference of 219,055,291 bushels shows why American farmers have been paid belter prices for their wheat. The consumption of wheat per 1 capita in the United States was: liushels.

Ciood Republican Argument. The Port Allegany Reporter, so many years recognized as the lead ing democratic paper of McKean county talks good Republican doc trine. In last week's issue Mr. Layman says: "If there is one reason more than another why the Reporter would like to see Sibley returned to Congress it is because lie is thoroughly in accord with the present progressive times. Ilis op ponent is not. He wants to pull down the tariff laws and have free trade; he wants steel rails manu factured in England and not in Pennsylvania. He would rather see the price of wool again at ten cents than to stay at thirty cents as it is now, and the man who votes for Emery practically en dorses those theories." Last night's issue of Mr. Emery's personal paper contained the an nouncement that the ANTI-QUAY Republicans and the Democrats elected Mr. Sibley in IS9S. This is the truth, yet. they have so soon forgotten their refusal to publish Judge Morrison's denial of their assertion that he and the regular Republicans had voted for Sibley | two years ago. lion. C. W. Stone j can read for himself in last night's j ® j Record the true stasement, made •I in Mr. Emery's paper, that it was i! the anti-Quay Republicans who j defeated him for Congress in INJIK. j Can it be possible that Emery will j still attempt to fool the Republi- I cans into thinking that he is not a j dodger? A good memory is an in- I dispensable factor for successful ! dodging. Why Emery's 'Depend | ent supporters should vote for Sibley as a Democrat and refuse to do so as a Republican is a mystery. Bradford Star of Wednesday* An Inconsistent Candidate. In the declaration which ex-Sen.ator Emery gave to the voters of the Twen ty-seventh Congress district he stated with boldness and directness that he would not "favor a change in the pres ent currency of the United States until a clear majority of the people de manded it." This sop was thrown out forthe pur pose of catching the independent vot ers who oppose the free coinage of j silver and of their worse than Demo j cratic allies, the insurgents. Mr, Em j ery, however, is running upon a ticket which bears the name of the Bryan ite electors, and Bryan and his electors | are all pledged to free silver. It is not worth while to discuss the attitude of such a man except to say that at the best he is too inconsistent or illogical to receive the serious at tention of the voters.—Philadelphia Inquirer. MAILING A MAGAZl.W. —Eighteen men. aided by the fastest mailing appli j auces, are kept on a rush every month getting The Ladies' Home Journal off to its subscribers. The first shipments arc started about the middle of each uiontii, and from that time until the twenty-fifth i the magazines pour out of the Journal's poblis'ning office by the two-'norse-dray load. On the twenty-fifth of each month every Journal has reached its destination, and work in the mailing department slackens tor a few days. Some idea of j the tremendous size of the Journal's sub j scription list may be gained when it is known that forty tons of mailing type are required to set up the names of the subscribers. There are three-quarters of | a ton of each numeral, and it requires i twenty thousand galleys to accommodate j the subscribers' names in type. This | i stock would equip six or eight large daily j newspapers. As many as sixty-five com- ! j po.-itors are employed setting the names j iof the Journal's subscribers in type— j j printers eaough to set the type for the j I biggest metropolitan daily newspaper, j ' The expenses for postage paid by the j Journal approximate $75,000 a year.
