CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1904. WHY NOT STAND PAT? For What Reason Should There Be Any Tampering With the Present Tariff?: Why should there he any tampering with the present Tariff, as Free Trad era are proposing that their should? It is working satisfactorily. All the strenuous efforts that have been made to create opposition to it in Protect ionist ranks have ended in failure. It is giving American labor and Ameri can capital the degree of Protection that it was designed to give; it is yield ing the Government sufficient rev enue; the business of the country is adjusted to it; and under it our foreign trade is malting progress unexampled in the history of the republic. Why upset these conditions in order to ex periment with something unknown? Do the opponents ofthe Dingley law fully realize what has been accom plished under it and by it since it went into effect? Since 1897 our manufac tured exports havej mped from $277,- 000,000 to $408,000,000 for the fiscal year of 1903; our agricultural exports from $684,000,000 to $873,000,000, and our to tal exports from $1,050,000,000 to sl,- 425,000,000. Our imports, in the same period, have grown from $765,000,000 to sl,o2s,ooo,ooo—pretty effectual evi dence that the present Tariff is not shutting out foreign commodities to any alarming extent—while our total foreign trade has increased from sl,- 815,000,000 to nearly $2,500,000,000. Our experts to every quarter of the globe, in this interval, have grown amazingly—to Europe 50 per cent., to North America 75 per cent., to South America 30 per cent., to Asia and Oceanica 50 per cent., to Africa and other countries 120 per cent. Since 1899 there has not been a year that the Dingley law has not produced ample revenue. In 1900 it yielded a surplus of $80,000,000, in 1901 a surplus of $78,000,000, in 1902 a surplus of $91,- 000,000, in 1903 a surplus of $54,000,000. and it premises to yield a comfortable surplus during the current fiscal year, By means of the revenue that this law has produced, we have been enabled not only to pay the ordinary expenses of Government, but to maintain a big gold reserve—a thing absolutely in dispensable to the maintenance of the integrity of our enormous paper and silver circulation; to put the new re public of Cuba on its feet; to restore peace in the Philippines; to build up our navy; to buy out the old Panama Canal Company; to defray the cost of the war with Spain, and at the same time keep down the national debt. On June 30, 1903, the close ofthe last fiscal year, the net amount of the national debt was $925,000,000 —a debt smaller than that existing at the end of the second Cleveland administration. There is not a nation on the globe that does not view this showing with pangs of jealously. Great Britain would willingly barter her birthright, figuratively speaking, to be able to make a similar showing. Germany, France and Austria-Hungary stand astounded at the vast results that have been achieved by the United States under half a decade of "Dingleyism." Why is it that it is in our own country alone that persons can be found who cannot appreciate what has been ac complished under|the present Tariff? The only apparent explanation is that there is a lesion somewhere in their mental make up. Fortunately, these persons constitute only a small minor ity of the American electorate.—New York "Commercial." Whooping Cough. "In the spring of 1!)01 my children had whooping cough," says Mrs. I).

The public applauded its begin ing, watched its progress with pro found interest, and is now naturally anxious to see what it looks like in side, and to enjoy the manifold plea sures of shopping at an entirely new establishment. It is safe to say that no one will come to its inception with great ex pectations and go away disappointed; tor the store itself is grandly con ceived, and it* future conduct planned on a broad and liberal scale. The building of this store is inter esting from many points of view. It was made necessary by the growth of The William Hengerer Company's business, and the concen tration of retail trade in the vicinity of Lafayette Square. Its location is unquestionably the best on Main Street—midway between the great East Side thoroughfares, Genesee Street and Broadway ; con venient to the whole West Side and the other populous sections of Buffalo. It will be occupied by a firm whose reputation is not only local, but national —a firm with nearly half a century of success to its credit. Mr. William Hengerer, president of the company, became associated with Sherman, Barnes & Co. in iB6O. They were succeeded by Barnes, Bancroft & Co.; then came Barnes, Hengerer & Co., and finally, The William Hen gerer Co. So the present business legitimately succeeds all these in an unbroken line. The other directors of the company are: Mr. Charles A. Hengerer, Vice President; Mr. John A. Hengerer, Secretary; Mr. Edward 1,. Hengerer, Treasurer; Mr. William McLaren, Credit Manager; and Mr. Edward L. Koons. This week the whole town—the whole county—everybody from near and far—is welcome to Buffalo's newest and grandest store. rimE^NEvTsTORFAN^ j ITS EQUIPMENT \ THE new store is of modern steel construction.
