BIIYAN. Emery and the Democratic News papers. The only Democratic newspaper in Venango county is the Venango Spectator, and it ignores the so called nomination of Emery and holds that it was made without au thority and has no binding force on the Democratic party. It also ad vises Democrats to vote for Sibley as a rebuke to the men who were delegated by the Democratic party to nominate a Democrat for Con gress, but for reasons that will not bear investigation nominated one of another party. Warren count}' had but one Democratic paper when Emery be came a ca ndidate,the Warren Dem ocrat, daily and weekly. It op poses Emery and supports Sibley for the same reasons given by the Venango Spectator. Emery started the Warren Times under Demo cratic guise, and of course it does as its owner dictates. Its support is not the support of a. Democratic organ, but a case of Emery sup porting himself, as in the case of the Bradford Record and Franklin Leader. There is but one Democratic pa per in McKean county,the McKean County Democrat. It gives a for mal support to Emery , but recently said of Sibley : "Laying politics aside, Mr.Sibley is one of the most genial and most easily approached public men we have ever known. While we have never admired his politics, we are fair enough to give him credit for being a polished gentleman in his social intercourse with his fellow men.'' Camcroß county has one Demo cratic paper that supports Emery. That paper and the McKean Coun ty Democrat are the only Demo- ' cratic publications in the district s that uphold Emery, except those 1 started by him for the occasion. It , is also true that not one Republi can paper, old or new, supports ! him. This is because the people are against him and newspapers dare not defy public sentiment. ! Emery knows now that he isdoom ! Ed to certain defeat, but he has I little idea of the large majority | which will be against him. He has already begun to foretell his defeat I by giving out what he thinks will : defeat him, —Bradford Era. A Campaign of Revenge. The Emery campaign was started | out on the assumption that Emery | had been a life-long Republican, | without variation or shadow of turning, but that claim has been utterly demolished by bringing in to the case the evidence of ex- Governor Pattison, who declares that he owed his election lor two terms to Emery, and that he has been stumping the district for him iin payment for that work. If the j ex-Governor is correct, then the Republican party owes to Emery | the only Gubernatorial defeats it J has met in this State for forty years, j That spoils the claim of Republi ! can ism. Emery has been claiming to be the Democratic nominee, but that claim has been proven fraudu lent by the leading Democrats and their party papers and must be abandoned. Emery now claims that the ques tion is for or against the Standard Oil Trust. Emery's light may be and probably is against the Stand ard Oil Trust and for the Pure Oil Trust, but when he is opposing Sibley he is not opposing the Stand ard, for Sibley not only does not own a dollar in the Standard Trust but has shown by his vote that he is in favor of Congressional action to control trusts, whether Standard or of the Pure Oil variety. The campaign against Mr. Sibley has degenerated into one of re veuge, pure and simple. Emery has declared that he is "a lash for the Democratic whip-stock to pun ish Sibley and get revenge," but the great mass of the Democratic party never asked Emery to lend himself for this purpose. Emery volunteered the loan of himself. In this he was not trying to serve their purpose, but his own. He is the man who wanted revenge. In stead of the man with the whip stock being in search of the lash, the fellow with the sore head and sour stomach and dyspeptic politics I was hunting a wliip-stock to which I lie could tie his lash. Nothing but this keeps Emery in the field, and this ought to make him get out of it at once. Very few people will assist others in the revenge busi ness. The man who, in anger, strikes a horse, an ox or a dog, may be blind for the time to the brutal ity of the act, but the by-stawlers are not, and he gets no applause or assistance from them. This is what Emery will find in his mean attacks on Mr. Sibley. His punishment will come when he sits down and looks over the election returns and contemplates the immense majority against him. He will not be sur rounded by the men who are now flattering and bleeding him ; but, alone with his sores and bruises, will have only the consolation that he deserved it all.—Franklin Even ing News. Bryan's Little Boy. Mr. Bryan, the Democratic can didate for the Presidency, was on the Lincoln train the other day. A bright little boy, his son Georgie, sat by the candidate and was ask ing childish questions. 'Papa.' he said, 'what did the Hungarian miners out in Colorado mean when they shook flags marked 16 to 1 in Roosevelt's face?' 'Why, my son,' said Bryan as he beamed 011 his boy with loving smile, 'why, the miners meant that they wanted our money to be 1(5 to 1. That is, they wanted it so that I<> ounces of silver would be one ounce of gold.' 'But, Papa, Hi ounces of our coined silver will buy one ounce of gold now, won't it?' asked Georgie opening his eyes wide. 'Yes, my son, Congress did pass a law making that ratio. Sixteen ounces of our coined silver will buy one ounce of coined gold now.' 'Then, Papa, said Georgie thoughtfully, 'if gold and silver are now 16 to 1 by act of Congress CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER i, 1900. what more do they want ? What do they keep yelling l(i to 1 for?' 'Well, my son,' said Bryan, thoughtfully, 'l(> to 1 is all right for the farmer, mechanic and busi ness man, but the miner wants more for his silver. He wants to sell his I<> ounces of uncoined sil ver, which is really worth in the market less than eight dollars, for sixteen dollars' worth of gold.' 'Why, Papa, that would be pay ing fifty per cent, bonus 011 silver, wouldn't it? It would be buying it at twice its value. It would be j just like the government buying all j the hogs and corn and cotton at | twice its market value, wouldn't it ? That would be nice for the farmer, Papa, but the miners wouldn't be in it, would they?' 'Georgie, hush,' interrupted the boy's father. 'But, Papa, I will hush in a min ute; but say, if the government should buy all the miners' silver at twice its market value the farmer and the mechanic wouldn't be in it. would they, and ' 'Hush, Georgie, don't talk so much. You don't understand that we are using ths 10 to 1 to fool the miners until after election.' 'Oh! I sec, Papa,' said Georgie, 'if we should give an ounce of gold, worth sixteen dollars all over the world, for sixteen ounces of silver only worth eight dollars, we'd have to buy all the silver in the world— billions of dollars —and ' 'Hush, Georgie, hush!' inter rupted his father. 'And, bye and bye, Papa,' said Georgie, 'the rest of the world would have all our valuable gold and we would have their cheap silver worth 40 cents on the dollar. I see, Papa, it's all a joke. It's like Plutocracy and Caesarism and Imperialism. It's a scarecrow, and ' 'Georgie,' said the loving father, •you must hush. They will over hear you.' Then the fond father put his arms around Georgie and gave him a big banana to eat. 'Eat it, Georgie, said the bogie candidate, winking one eye, 'or the goblins will get you.'—Eli Perkins. ••DEAR BOY" BETTERS. MY DKAU BOY :—So old man Skinner says there will be war in the Philippines for twenty years yet; that we will soon see the time when men will be conscripted in every township for service in China, and that we arc bound to have a financial crisis next spring, and then the poor people will see the hardest times they ever saw. Well, I guess the old man is a typical Democrat. lie certainly has all the symptoms. Perhaps I j had better tell you what the symp toms are. There are certain constitutional characteristics that distinguish the Democratic party and opposite characteristics which distinguish the Republican party. When I tell you what they are, you will see why I want you to be a Republican. 1. The Democrats are pessimist ic. They always look on the dark side. They perpetually expect evil ahead and see nothing but the evil in the things that now are. You pick up an average Democratic platform and you will find it full of phrases like the following: "We protest," "we disapprove," "we view with alarm." One of the strongest reasons against the party is that they are always striving to make the people discontented with their lot and to fill them with anx ious forebodings for the future. Right in the. middle of abundance and cheer and victory, they insist that we are all going " to the bow wows." Now it is the nature of the Re publicans to be optimistic. The Republican party sees the bright side. Thankful for the blessings of the past, they look forward with confidence to the future. They expect good things and the expec tation helps bring good things to pass. They rejoice in the great ness and prosperity of our highly favored land. They look upon our schools and churches, our farms and factories, our army and navy, and their platform contains phrases S like these: "Thankful for the ' past," "we rejoice," "we congrat ulate," "we point with pride." j They bring to the people a song of hope and cheer and content. He a j Republican, my boy, and "keep sweet." Don't let yourself get soured and pessimistic, like some of the so-called Emporium Repub licans, who are following after false j gods. 2. The Democratic party seems ! unable to learn from experience. One reason why I fit in easily into the Republican party is because I can learn from experience. Eight years ago I was a free trader. I read about free trade in a book ami was convinced. It was a very nice book and the free trade theory was presented in a very nice way. I still insist that free trade is a nice thing in a book so long as you keep it in the book : but when you take it out of the book and apply it to wool and eggs and pig iron and things, it doesn't work worth a cent. The experience of this coun try from is!),'} to 1 <s<>7 made me a protectionist. Butour Democratic friends have failed to learn the les son. In their platform this year they still denounce our protective tariff law. If there is anything positively settled by the experience of nations it is that the best standard for a nation's currency and for the world's currency is gold. For cen turies the nations bungled along endeavoring to keep up two stand ards, silver and gold, with the re sult that the comparative values of the two metals were constantly changing and the cheaper one driv ing the other out of circulation, making currency scarce, values un certain, exchange troublesome and commerce diflicult. Through ex perience, the nations, one after an other, learned that the honest way and the best way is to have one standard and that standard the best money—gold—with a hundred cents' worth of gold in the dollar. We have learned that, since a standard dollar is a measure of value, it should contain the value that it represents. All civilized people in the world have learned this except the I'opu listic-Deraocratic party. They come out in this year of our Lord 1900 and propose to roll back the wheels | of progress and return to the iinan- I eial ways of barbarism. Now the Republican party does j learn by experience. It keeps up with the procession. When a thing | has been tried and found wanting, the Republican party drops it. I When a tiling has proved to be I good by experience, the Republican party sticks to it. My boy, the Republican party is not perfect by a long ways. It has some men in it who are not good. Any great party must have some such in a world like this. It may sometimes make mistakes. But the broad political principles of the party are true and right and it is the party that learns from experience. You i be a Republican and you will not bo sorry. YOUR FATHER.
