EDITORIAL nENTION. Vote for McKinley and the full dinner pail. Better keep the mills open than the soup houses. No green goods for the farmer this time, if you please.

It is true that under the national Constitution Aguinaldo could not lit elected President of the United States, but that would not prevent the Boston Vunties from nominat ing him. Control of the next Congress by the Republicans is very important. -iee to it that your ballot is east in the right way to help elect a Re publican Congressman and a Re publican Senator. Remember, too, that unexpected vacancies in the Senate may happen at any time, to be tilled by action of the Governor or State Legislature, if in session. "Dear Boy" Letters. MY DI.AU Boy—Senator Wji. M. Stewart lias said about the so called imperialism just wliat I meant to say in this letter. So 1 ; send you his statemtnt and dtfer j any remarks of my own till s<me j future time. Meanwhile, 1 t ike i this opportunity to answer yjur last epistle. You say that you told Mr. Slin ner that labor had never been more adequately rewarded than during McKinley's administration, «*nd that he replied, "That is not true so far as farmers are concerned. Before the demonetization of silver 1 sold my wool for fifty cents a pound and my wheat for a dollar and a half a bushel." Yes, my son, your father remem bers those days. I taught school in the Skinner district the winter of 1572-73, just before the act which Democrats call the "crime of '73." 1 boarded with old man Skinner all winter. He did sell his wheat for a dollar and a half and his wool for forty-five cents in 1572. But T will mention some facts which lie for got to tell you, and you may jog his memory a little. 1 studied algebra that winter by the light of a home-made tallow dip because Skinner could not afford to buy oil. Oil was forty cents a gal lon. Now, in these days when the Standard Oil Co. is crushing the life out of Skinner he takes his oil can to the grocery and buys a gal lon for twelve cents. We used roasted wheat and burnt molasses in place of coffee that win ter because coffee was forty-five and fifty cents a pound. Now, the in satiable coffee trust makes Skinner pay thirteen cents a pound for good roasted Lion. AVe used home-made sorglium in stead of sugar. Skinner bought just six pounds of dirty-looking sugar that winter and lie paid a dollar for the six pounds. Now, in these awful times, when Jh 112 sugar trust is grinding the farmers under its iron heel, SkiunT gets sixteen pounds of n>c granulated sugar for a do' l ".. ruio.Skiuner had one calico dress which she saved for Sundays. On week days she wore a linsey dress woven by her own hands. Calico was twenty-two cents a yard and people spoke of its being cheap at that. Now,you can get good calico at five to six cents. The Skinners rode to town in a big farm wagon in those days. I remember hearing Skinner ask the price of a buggy and, when he was told that it was a hundred and forty dollars, he sighed and said that he could not afford to buy. Two years ago he bought two new buggies, one for himself and Mrs. Skinner and one for the girls, Melinda and Maria, lie got the two lor a hun dred and ten dollars, fifty-five dol lars apiece. When I got through teaching that school I bought me a new suit of clothes. It was a ready-made suit of rather ordinary goods and cost me twenty-eight dollar-. This summer I bought abetter suit from Dowd & Berkley for twelve dollars and fifty cents. in those days Skinner sold a pound of wool for forty-five cents. With the money he could buy less than three pounds of sugar, or a little more than a gallon of oil, or one pound of coffee, or two yards of calico. This year he sold his wool for twenty-seven cents a pound. With the money he can buy four and half pounds of sugar, or two and one-fourth gallons of oil, or two and a fourth pounds of coffee, or five yards of calico. Now it seems to me as plain ;is daylight that the best measure of remuneration for- labor or farming products is the amount of food or j clothing you can get for tliein. 1 jam best paid for the labors of day ■ \iien J can buy the most for the wages of the day. Judged by this standard, never were the workinginen, and espe cially the farmers, of America, so prosperous as during Mclvii ley's administration. There has been plenty - of work for everybody who wants work. Our folks have just been getting their church painted. They put me on the committee to attend to the matter, and the hard est thing J had to do was to find a painter. Every painter to whom 1 went had work engaged ahead for the season. At last I found a boy who knew a little about painting and gave him the job, and he did very well. Not only has there been plenty of work, but wages have been good and would buy far more of the necessities and comforts of life than the wages of the laborer in the days of depreciated currency after the civil war. Meanwhile, everybody knows that this prosperity lias come about under the Dingley tariff, under a gold standard, and under a Repub lican administration. They also know that the Democratic platform dictated by Mr. Bryan denounces the Dingley tariff and the gold standard. My boy, it is simply astounding CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1900. to 1110 that any workingnian, or farmer, or business man should think seriously ol' voting the Dem ocratic ticket this year. Leaving out the requirements of patriotism, self-interest ought to make every man a Republican this year. A supposition that the nation will vote to tear down our protective system and precipitate a financial revolution is an insult to the intel ligence of the American people. Yoi'it Fatiikr. President McKinley for Sibley. During a conversation at Can ton, Ohio, with T. C. Uran, of Franklin, who is a personal friend of McKinley, the President said: 1 would be very sorry to see Mr. Sibley defeated, as I believe in the next Congress he would be one of the most staunch uphold ers of Republican principles. I regard him as one of the most able, efficient and conscientious men in Congress, versed in poli tics and a man who would be a credit to the Republican party." CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Are you a Workingnian? Are you a Miner? Are you a Farmer ? Are you a Mechanic ? Are you a Printer ? Are you Railway Employee ? Are you a Clerk ? Are you a Traveling Salesman ? Are you a Wage-earner of any kind? DO YOU WANT IT ? Do you want to continue the present food business conditions, which give miployment to all and better wages ihan ever before paid ? If so, vote for McKinley, for under lis administration the Protective tariff ind sound money principles for which he Republican party legislated, the lepression, the idleness and want of SB3-9G have vanished. The country is io\v more prosperous, labor is better jmployed, wages are higher than ever jeforo. It is reasonable to expect that >vith a continuation of MeKinley's pol cy prosperity and employment would vlso continue. DO YOU WANT IT? Remember the panic, the depression, the idleness and want of 1893-90. That was the result of a change of policy in only one great factor of our national ] welfare. The election of Bryan would mean a I return to all the causes which led to that panic. It would also add to them two other equally potent causes for i panic—a change of currency and a change in our foreign policy. Do you want these changes? Do you want a panic in 1901-4 far worse than that of 1893-6 ? Do you want idleness and starvation and millions subsisting on charity just as they did in 1593 ? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. DO YOU WANT IT? Mr. Bryan proposes to give up that valuable stepping stone to the com merce of the Orient—the Philippine Islands. The count ries commercially adjacent to Manilla now buy $1,200,000,000 a year of goods chiefly of the kind we make. Yet they only take (> per cent, of them from the United States. Now that we have the Philippines, we have a trading center from which we can command a good share of that business, just as England is command ing it from her Asiatic stations at Hong Kong and Singapore. Already our commerce in the Orient is rapidly increasing. But all these advantages in this splendid market Mr. Bryan proposes to abandon, so that we shall lose that trade and not have more work for our mills. Do you want to lose it ? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. DO YOU WANT IT? The election of Bryan would seri ously affect our foreign commerce.

The effect of changing our standard of money from that in which ninety live per cent, of the World's commerce is transacted, to that in which only five per cent, of the World's commerce is transacted, would be absolutely disas trous to the magnificent foreign trade we now have. Our foreign trade would be very much less than it now is, and our mills would run shorter time with less work for labor. Do you want it? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. DO YOU WANT IT? In 1892 this country was more pros perous than ever before. Employment was more general and wages higher than they had ever been. The people, misled by the assertions of the Democratic office-seekers, tried the experiment of changing the policy of the Government on the Tariff ques tion. What was the result ? On the very day following the elec tion business began to decline, dealers canceled their contracts for home man ufactures, factories reduced their work ing forces and curtailed their orders for the product of the mine, the forest and the field, and uncertainty took the place of confidence in the business world. What followed? Every workingman, every employee and every farmer whose market was thus curtailed remembers. There was a panic, depression, gloom, enforced idleness, and want. All this was the result of a change in our tariff policy which affected the great manufacturing interests and which threatened labor. Bryan now threatens to lower the tariff and take away Protection from labor. Do you want it? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. DO YOU WANT IT? The change of tariff policy which up set and demoralized every business and industry in '93 was bad enough. But now it is proposed to couple with it another change which would multi ply its disturbing and destructive pow er upon business and every industry. Bryan proposes to Change Sound Money for Cheap Money—a Hundred- Cent Dollar for a Fifty-Cent Dollar. Do you want it? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. DO YOU WANT IT ? If the Sherman law, which limited | the quantity of silver to bo added to ! the currency and promised to maintain the parity of all money, caused, in any part, the panic of 1893, certainly the prospect of a law which would author ize an unlimited addition of silver to the currency of the country and make no effort to maintain its parity with gold, would cause a much greater un certainty and panic. Do you want it? If so, vote for Bryan and you will get it. , nervTta pblls Restore Vitality, Lo3t Vigor and Manhood Cum Impctency.
