Tariff Tinkering.
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.

Pneumonia Can be Prevented.
This disease always results from a
i cold or an attack ol the grippe and may
| be prevented by the timely use of Cham
| berlain's Cough Remedy. This remedy
| was extensively used during tin' epidemics
| of la grippe of the past few years, and
I not a single case has ever been rej <tried
' that did not recover or that resulted in
| pneumonia, which shows it to be a cer
[ tain preventative of that dangerous dis
ease. For sale by L. Taggart.

Danger ol' Colds and La Grippe.
The greatest danger from colds and la
grippe is their resulting in pnouiuouia. If
reasonable care is used, however, aud
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken,
all danger will be avoided. Among the
tens of thousands who have used this
remedy for these diseases, we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted in
pneumonia, which shows conclusively
that it is a certain preventative of that
dangerous malady. It will cure a cold or
an attack of la grippe in less time than
any other treatment. It is pleasant and
safe to take. For sale by L. Taggart.
