What They Want and Don't Want.
"It is the Protection that Pro
tects that the foreigners object to,"
Bays the New York "Mail and Fx
press.'' Tersely, excellently put.
It is that, also, to which the Free-
Traders object. Any concession in
Tariff duties which fails to remove
the bars to our big home market is
to the foreigner a mockery and an
irritation. It would not help him
a particle. What he wants is not
the reduction, but the total aboli
tion of duties which Protect. No
one knows better than the would
be foreign competitor that partial
Protection is no Protection. If
the line of Tariff duties be lowered
bacause, in the opinion of the
Babcoek school of guessers, they
are not needed for Protection, that
does nobody any good, and may do
somebody harm. For example,
iron and steel duties. How would
their reduction benefit the fore
igner? lie asks for bread and you
give him a stone. What ho wants
is a chance to sell his goods in this
market. Under existing conditions
—conditions, however, which may
not always exist—he could not sell
his iron and steel here, even though
the duties were wholly removed.
Commissioner Kasson had the
better idea —better, that is, from
the foreigner's point of view. He
proposed something of real advant
age to foreign producers, and if his
plan were to be adopted it would
not be long before every producing
country of Europe, Asia, Australia,
Africa, and South America would
have its special trade treaty privi
lege of underselling the American
producer in his own market. As
a matter of fact, Kassonism is mo re
to be dreaded than Bahcockism.
The country wants neither. Se
parately or in combination they
would prove an industrial scourge,
a financial earthquake. Free-
Traders want them; foreigners pine
for them; American producers,
wage-earners and consumers will
have none of them.
Elkin for Governor.
I'unxsutawney Spirit.
The lit publicans of this part of the
State arc for John P. Ellcin for Gover
nor. They have unbounded faith in
his integrity and ability, aud admire
his stalwart Republicanism. And they
have no patience with those gentle
men who, with private grievances and
personal prejudices ranklingi in their
bosoms, want to palm them off as pa
triotism and public virtues. That El
kin has been the target for the abuse
of those who have sought for the past
five years to wreck the Republican
party, is not to be wondered at, for he
has been, during all that time, one of
the most serious obstacles in the way
of their success. In every battle of the
party he has been at the front, flashing
the sword of enthusiasm, and cheering
his comrades onto victory.
Ia an army to desert its leader be
cause t he enemy doesn't like him ?
"Give us a man, 1 ' say some of those
who are smarting under the blows of
bis good right arm, "that we can all
unite on—one of those timid gentlemen
who took to cover whiie the battle was
raging, and who was careful not to in
dicate even where his spmpathies lay."
We do nob want that kind of a man
for Governor. The true blue, stalwart
Republicans of Pennsylvania, who con
stitute the vast majority of the party,
demand a man like John P. Elkin, who
is always out in the open.
"It will be another Delamater cam
paign," sny those who are nursing pri
vate griefs. Let not thy discreet heart
think it There is no parallel between
them. Elkin is a strong, manly man,
who can defend himself against all
comers. He is well-known as a gallant
and uncompromising party leader.
His ability is not questioned even by
his enemies. He is as frank and open
as the day, and his genial charactei
makes everybody his friend. He has
the qualities of a leader of men, and
possesses every element of popularity
Besides, the people are for him, and
his success is dear to their hearts.
Delamater was- well,Delamater was
different.
In the Tillage of Smicksburg, just a
few miles below Punxsutawney, where
there are plenty of people still living
who knew John P. Eikin as a barefoot
ed urchin, "with his satchel and shin
ing morning face creeping like snail
unwillingly to school," and who have
watched his struggles from obscurity
to eminence, would regard his elevation
to the Governor's chair as a personal
vindication of the American boy. And
it would be so regarded by every one
who knew the history of his early life.
His father did him the kindness to em
igrate from Ireland when a young man
and permit his son John to be born in
America. That was all. John did the
rest.
Rich Valley.
The severe winter weather has changed
suddenly to mild breezes.
The schools of the Valley will have
their vacation Xinas week.
The Sunday School at the church is a
permanent organization. A good move
indeed.
Miss Gertrude Barton is visiting her
father Charles Barton at Emporium a
few days.
We observe that Win. McGee has re
turned from I'otter county to spend the
Holidays.
Mrs. Josephine Carter is steadily im
proving, a fact we are glad to apprise her
many friends of.
We learn that Frank Lockwood has
disposed of his two teams of horses to
Howard k Co.
We are delighted to note that Miss
Gertie Ilousler, who has been dangerously
ill, is some better at this writing.
The™ Wesley an Methodists expect to
hold revival services in the Valley in the
near future. The harvest surely is ripe.
The oyster supper at L. Lockwood's
on Christmas eve is an event eagerly
looked forward to by our young people.
The people of the Valley are visiting
Emporium quite frequently the past few
days, looking for the place where Santa
Claus' cart tipped over.

A VERY SIGNIFICANT BREAK
The Old Insurgent Combine Has Lost
Connections In Pittsburg and Phila
delphia, and Is Now In a Very Bad
Way.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg, Dec. 17. —Evidence mul
tiplies to show that the insurgent or
ganization which has been arrayed
against the Republican party In Penn
sylvania is disintegrating rapidly, and
that there will soon be nothing left of
this guerrilla combination but the per
sonal machine of John Wanamaker
and the newspapers whose political pol
icy is controlled by the advertising
patronage and other considerations
which come from Wanamakerism and
always seem to bring practical results.
Throughout the last two sessions of
the legislature of Pennsylvania, when
the Wanamaker adherents and other
insurgents were lined up against the
Republican members of the senate and
house, the David Martin followers of
Philadelphia and the supporters of
Willliam Flinn, of Allegheny, con
stituted a large majority of
those elected as Republicans who
refused to abide by the action of
the Republican caucus as voicing the
will of the majority of the Republican
members of the general assembly.
These Philadelphia and Allegheny mem
bers. with the scattering insurgents
from several interior counties and the
Democrats, formed a combine which
for an entire session prevented the
election of a United States senator.
In the last session the regulars were
enabled to organize both branches of
the legislature, to elect a United States
senator and pass legislation restoring
the $1,000,000 taken from the public
schools, giving the farmers the neces
sary legislation"!*) prevent the sale of
oleomargarine colored as butter, and to
enact other laws demanded by the
farmers, the laboring men and the
business interests.
The master mind of the combination
arrayed against the Republican party,
the most general generous contributor
to the "cause of reform," and never
relenting foe of the stalwart leaders
of the Republican organization, John
Wanamaker, has from the time he en
gaged instate politics, always counted
upon the support of Martin and Flinn.
Now Martin has practically been
bowled out of politics in Philadelphia
by reason of his continued warfare
against the Republican organization. It
is conceded that Martin will not be
able to succeed himself in the state
senate. In the recent campaign, when
he espoused the cause of tho Union
party, the Republican candidates car
ried his district by nearly 1,000 major
ity. Districts which Martin controlled
in the last legislature will unques
tionably be carried by the Republican
stalwarts at the next election for mem
bers of the legislature. The Philadel
phia delegation will practically be
unanimous for the re-election of Boies
Penrose to the United States senate.
With Philadelphia lost to Wana
amakerlsm in the coming contest, and
Allegheny also no longer affiliated with
his insurgent political interests, Wana
inaker will have a hard time getting
together a corporal's guard to follow
his insurgent standard. Without en
tering into the controversy between the
leaders of the several elements in Alle
gheny county, there can be no ques
tioning the fact that there is no fac
tion that will co-operate with Wana
maker in any crusade he may inaugu
rate against the Republican organiza
tion.
Within the last few days the Wana
maker newspaper of Philadelphia has
had a series of articles reflecting upon
practically all of the newspapers of
Pittsburg, as none of them has any
consideration for the Wanamaket
brand of politics. The Pittsburg Times,
which for years was owned by the late
Senator C. L. Magee, and which has
since his death been a supporter of the
Allegheny county organization, of
which Senator William Flinn is the
leader, paid its respects to Wanamalcer
and his Journalistic mouthpiece in a
manner to indicate the loss to Wana
makerism of the Flinn element in
western Pennsylvania.
Said the Pittsburg Times, under the
caption "A Deliberate Liar:" The
Philadelphia North American, having
failed so brilliantly to reform the city
of Philadelphia, has now taken up the
task of giving to Pittsburg some faint
air of respectability. In I:he course of
a column or so of tommy-rot printed in
its issue of yesterday this great engine
of truth permits one of its hired hands
to discuss the reasons for Pittsburg's
so-called lack of public conscience—as
if the North American had either a
public or a private conscience. It ap
pears that the depths of woe in which
this journal finds Pittsburg are largely
chargeable to the newspapers of this
city. As to what it says of other pa
pers in Pittsburg the Times has 110
concern. But the following is a de
liberate lie, and the man who wrote it,
as well as the man who inspired it,
knew it to be a lie.
The Times then quotes from the
North American charging it with be
ing controlled by official advertising,
and replies that such advertising was
obtained through open and competitive
bidding. In concluding the Times says:
"The North American, absolutely
controlled as it is by John Wanamak
er, yet afraid to admit it, as he i 3
ashamed to confess it, should in al]
decency Keep hands off other newspa
pers. Nowhere in the United States
is there a newspaper so entirely unre
liable as it is in its every feature, or
bo utterly unworthy of credence in
whatever it does or says. Its only
respectable portion is that which is de
voted to advertising, which is too
meagre to count for much."
That Flinn and Wanamaker have
dissolved political partnership would
seem to be apparent.
NO lIpTM
Democrats and Republican Allies
Have Had Enough.
SENTIMENT SEEMS GENERAL
A Widespread Feeling In Favor of
Strengthening the Regular Organi
zation of the Two Older Parties and
Let Insurgents Flock By Themselves
(Special Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—That the reg
ular Democrats of the Quaker City
have scored a triumph over the annex
of the insurgent Republican outfit,
known as the Gordon Democracy,
would appear from statements made by
leading members of the executive com
mittee of the Democratic state commit
tee and members of the Hasson com
mittee, which was appointed by the
last state convention to reorganize the
Democracy of Philadelphia.
Since the failure of the campaign
to elect the "Union party candidates,
Yerkes and Coray, there has been a
growing sentiment among Democrats
throughout Pennsylvania to stand by
straight Democracy hereafter and to in
sist upon independent Republicans
voting for Democrats when they seek
to defeat regular Republican candi
dates.
There were several meetings of the
local Democrats within the last few
days. The regulars have revised their
rules so as to let the bars down for all
Democrats of whatever faction to at
tend the primaries in January,and they
are ready to submit to the state lead
ers copies of their new rules and agree
to any reasonable proposition to let the
bolting Democrats who went over to
the Union party back into the Demo
cratic fold.
FUSION HAS BEEN A FAILURE.
The sentiment in every part of the
state among Democrats against having
anything to do with the Union party
Republican malcontents is so universal
that Guffey will have to cut loose from
the Union party politicians to retain
his leadership in the Democratic or
ganization.
In Chester county the straight Dem
ocrats served notice upon County
Chairman Cavanaugh that if he did
not declare in favor of a policy of
straight Democratic nominations and
in opposition to all fusion schemes, he
would be deposed from the chairman
ship of the county committee. Cava
naugh was quick to recognize the feel
ing among tiie rank and file of his
party and promptly announced that
hereafter he will be against fusion
nominations of every kind.
In Democratic counties, particular
ly, the hostility to the Union party is
very pronounced. The trend of senti
ment appears to be in favor of loyalty
to regular party nominees, both Re
publican and Democratic.
The Democrats find that they have
gained nothing by affiliating with the
Republican insurgents, and the Re
publicans who took the advice of the
insurgent leaders and cut the Repub
lican ticket have discovered that they
have lost standing among their Repub
lican neighbors, and have gotten noth
ing for their disloyalty to their party
and their assistance given ambitious
men who have been working them for
their own selfish purposes.
FOOLISH CAMPAIGN TACTICS.
While the Union party leaders have
been steadily losing their following
in the several counties, they have not
given up their insurgent cajnpaignin;;
in the newspapers.
They have been aided by one or two
ambitious Republicans, who, while
claiming to be regulars, have beer,
sewing seeds of discord with a view
to weakening regular Republican lead
ers and favorites and make the road
to the attainment of their objects less
difficult. Candidates for honors from
the state convention to be held next
year have been sending to Republican
newspapers material which 011 the sur
face would appear to be in favor o!
Republican harmony and the advanc ■
ment of the Republican organization,
butwhich in reality would tend toserv
the cause of the insurgents by mi
representing the work of the Republi
cans in the last legislature anil ma!,
ing it appear that the present lead
ership of the Republican organization
has not acted wisely an ! with th > b.a
interests of the party and the state at
heart
Such methods must certainly react
upon those responsible for them, a':;'
in the end the rank and file of ihe
Republican organization will be com"
acquainted with the facts and express
themselves accordingly at the prim .ry
elections.
With tho Democrats deserting- the
Union party, and with the insurgent
organization rapidly breaking up, men
who claim to be stalwart Republicans
and who secretly try to weaken the
present Republican organization, will
not succeed in anything they under
take.
Tho Republicans of Pennsylvania
are determined to keep their party in
line with the national organization and
in good shape for the electiou of Re
publican members of congress and the
success of the entire Republican state
ticket next fall.
