Mr. Haaford Piatt of Bridgeport,

his house, and returned 3 gallons. His
painter said it would take 15; a lead-and
oil painter.
Hubbcll & Waile Co., sold it. They
say everybody has tht* satne experience
there.
The reason is, of course; they are used
too poor point.
What is poor paint? Anything not

Besides, paints wear about as they
cover. Double the 812 to 815.

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). W.
Capps, ol Capps of Capps, Ala, "I used
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy with the
most satisfactory results 1 think this is
the best remedy I have ever seen for
whooping cough." This remedy keeps
the cough loose, lessens the severity and
frequency of the coughiug spells and
counteracts any tendency toward pneu
monia. For sale by L. Taggart.
Other people's troubles bore a man
more than his own.
An Open Letter.
From the Chapin, S.' News. Karly
in the spring my wife and 1 were taken
with diarrhoea and so tevere were the
pains that we ealied a physician who pre
scribed for us, but his medicines tailed to
give any relief. A friend who had a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy on hand gave
each of us a dose and we at once felt the
effects. I procured a bottle and before
using the entire contents we were entire
ly cured. It is a wonderful remedy and
should be found in every household. 11.

sale by L. Taggart.

\ LIKE SUCCESS J
TH E William Hengerer Com
pany's magnificent store, be
tween Court and Mohawk
streets, will be ready this week.
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.

altogether 150,000 square feet of floor
space, or nearly twice the selling area
of any other department store in the
city of Buffalo. The front is hand
somely fashioned in the Byzantine
style of Indiana limestone. There
are two entrances, alternating with
four spacious plate glass show win
dows. The upper floors are reached
by six large elevators, three 011 each
side, operated by hydraulic power
ai ' supplied with every device for
the safety of passengers. The build
ing itself is fireproof, fitted all through
with automatic sprinklers. By means
of the six passenger elevators, the
big freight elevator and the stair
cases, the building could be emptied
of a crowd in a very few minutes if
necessary. All the fixtures are of
mahogany and plate glass, very grace
fully fashioned and low enough so an
unobstructed view of the store may
be had. The toilet rooms are of the
most sanitary description, with marble
fixtures, tiled floors and the best
plumbing.
An 85-station pneumatic cash carrier
system, a rotary parcel conveyor, run
ning from the top floor to the base
ment, and the latest system of trans
fers, make quick shopping a simple
matter.
Power and light are furnished by
the company's own complete machin
ery plant in the sub-basement.
The marble staircase and the ro
tunda which extends to the roof, sur
mounted by a glass dome, are beauti
ful features of the new store, and cer
tain to be greatly admired.
Not a detail in structure, equip
ment, furnishing, stock or method
that will facilitate public convenience
and comfort, has been overlooked.
Reserve stocks are kept n the six
