Some of our contemporaries, which are never satisfied or aware of the advisability of letting well enough alone, are howling for more Tariff tinkeaing on the ground that there are glaring abuses to be rem edied, says American Economist. No tariff is perfect, of course, and the chances are that the tinkered bill would be far less so than that now in force. But the most foolish part of the argument is the queru lous complaint against the purpose "not to disturb business." That it would disturb business is not denied, but it seems to be argued that this is a monopolistic consid eration and ought therefore to have no weight. But nothing could be more fallacious than to assume that this is a matter which concerns monopoly alone. It is unworthy any but the veriest demagogue. Does any one forget the recent hard times of Democratic manufac ture. and does any one assume that monopoly was the only sufferer? It was a disturbance of business, and the cry then was that monopoly did not suffer as much as stricken labor. It is just as well to bear in mind that hard times mean other things than monopolistic loss, and that every one has an interest in preventing the "disturbance of business." The people are not suf fering. It is the consensus of opin ion among those who have oppor tunity to know the facts that the past year lias been one of prosperity not so much to the employer as to the employed. The savings banks show this clearly. And yet we are sked to give up all this, and fly to evils that we know not of except as far as 1893 et seq. taught us. mere ly because some Tariff crank has a theory. The objection that such a course would disturb business is vital. Business does not mean monopoly or corporations alone; it includes every ramification of trade where men. from the richest to the poorest, get their daily bread. The poor man has everything to lose and nothing to gain by "disturbing business." and he knows it. There is no call for inflammatory talk by these would be tinkerers. This is not election time, and the country is well <.! l. Why, pray, not permit this to continue, and why not leave the nonsense out?—Lowell (Mass.) "Courier." Back of the welcome to Prince Henry is the greeting of one great nation to another, of an enlighten ed, progressive and powerful peo ple to a country of momentous significance in the affairs of the world. The Germans are an ex panding race in population and creative industry. America is in timately familiar with them as a sturdy and valuable element in the development of American type and character. Americans knows well the German as transplanted to this continent and that his qualities and methods have made a deep im press upon the new world. Ger many is an empire under a consti tution; the United States is a re public under a constitution. Here the dividing line is absolutely dis tinct, but not an excuse for churl ishness or inhoepitality. It is enough to say that the United States will continue to be a re public until the time for ruin and chaos. Prince Henry represents the German government and peo ple, and the hand of cordial friend ship is extended to him, officially and personally. All delight to honor him in the name of the past history, the present standing and the future potency of the German race, whose blood is infused in American as well as English veins, and whose intellect gives it one of the advanced places in the march of civilization. —St. Louis Globe- Democrat. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Corrc*]>ondent.) Washington, March 10th, 1902. The Senate has devoted the past week to the consideration of the Bill to promote commerce, popular ly known as the ship subsidy bill, and the bill for the defense of the President, the former of which is the regular "order of business," and on which a vote will be taken on the 17th., inst. The discussion so far has been characterized by an able presentation of the merits of the measure by Senator Frye and a speech by Senator llanna, whose plain, business-like statement of the advantages to be derived by it was exceptionally forcible. Senator Clay, of Georgia, opposed the bill in a speech which lasted four hours but which was largely a repetition of the oft-refuted arguments pre sented by the Democrats when the bill was considered by the last Con gress. Senator Bacon has also argued against the bill for the de fense of the President, claiming j that the measure is an extension of the law regarding treason and therefore outside the province of Congress. The House of Representatives has been the scene of an interesting and spirited debate on the bill pro viding for the substitution of the contract for the salary basis in the management of the rural free de livery. Party lines have not been drawn in the contest but much feel ing has been displayed and it is impossible to tell what will be the outcome. The vote will take place to-day and there is considerable likelihood that the Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads will be instructed to report a revised bill maintaining the service on the sal [ ary basis. Representative New j lands of Nevada, Williams of Mis | sissippi. and several other Demo j crats have told me that they favot I the contract feature. Representa tive Swanson, a prominent Demo cratic member, is the author of the minority report which condemns the change, and there are a large number of Republicans who sup port his view of the matter. Among the latter is Representative Hedge of lowa, who tells me that while he at first approved of the bill as reported he now favors a change. | ''As a whole,'" said Mr. Hedge, "1 I regard the bill as a distinct advance ; for the cause of rural free delivery. It defines it and brings it down to a system whereas, heretofore, Con gress has merely appropriated money for the service and has left its expenditure entirely at the dis cretion of the Postmaster General. There is no doubt but that the bill will carry when it comes to a vote though it seems quite probable that it will be so amended as to provide for the employment of carriers on a regular salary." Mr. Hedge, by the way, is opposed to any revision of the tariff and confidently pre dicts that none will be undertaken at this session of Congress. "The people of my state," lie said, "are quite contented to let well-enough alone. We are enjoying exception al prosperity and desire no change." The third caucus held by the Republicans of the House on Thursday evening did not result in any decision on the question of doing something for Cuba. The floor, throughout the evening, was occupied by the friends of the Ways and Means measure but no vote was taken and the caucus adjourn ed to meet again tomorrow even ing. When I saw Mr. Tawney, of Minnesota, who is the leading spirit of the opposition to the meas ure, he said. "We are not parti cularly anxious that the substitute bill which I offered should be ad opted. We are chifley concerned in preserving the traditions and good faith of the Republican party. The party has promised protection to the beet sugar producers and the tobacco growers and those promises were made long before any promis es could possibly have been made to Cuba, if any were made. If, however it is necessary to do any thing for Cuba, a fact which per sonally 1 doubt, there will be no objection from the members whose sentiments I voice, provided it is done, not at the expense of a few industries but at the expense of all the people. That is what my sub stitute bill provides for and while we will not push the measure we will not accept the Ways and Means Committee measure." So many rumors had been circulated to the effect that the President had receded from his position, that the United States was in honor bound to do something for Cuba, that Mr. Roosevelt, last week, made public a statement to the effect that he had not receded a particle from his original position. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1902. Letter to C. (i. Catlin. Emporium, Pa. Dear Sir: Perhaps you "won't have anything to do wite Mixed Paints." We don't blame you; but Devoc lead and zinc is not a Mixed Paint; there is twice as much paint in a gallon of it as there is in a gallon of some of the Mixed Paints. N. Avery, Delhi, N. Y., owns two houses exactly alike—Painted one with mixed Paint—took twelve gallons. Painted the other with Devoe; bought twelve gallons—had six gallons left. It has taken a great many years to find out the best, and it takes a lot of machinery to grind it properly. More than 2,000 years, men painted with lead, and more than 200 with lin seed oil. About 50 years ago, they began to use zinc. All painters know lead and oil; most painters know lead and oil with zinc mixed in—it improves their paint, wears longer, does not chalk or powder off so soon. One-third more zinc than lead is used in this country. But painters don't know how much zinc to putin; and zinc is hard to mix— needs grinding in—and they can't grind it in. Still, nobody uses lead without zinc, who knows his business. Yours truly, 61 F. W. DKVOE & Co. Reduced Rates to the West.
