Explorer Bryan Points Out His Discovery to Parker.
CONSEQUENCES ARE DIRE.
Folly of Disturbing Business Con
ditions by Premature Meddling
with the Tariff.
A large number of unrepublican news
papers are saying that President Roose
velt thinks the tariff ought to be re
vised. They make this assertion with \
a great deal of confidence. Walter Well- |
man lias repeatedly assured the country ;
that the president believes the time has j
come for revision, says the Des Moines
Capital. The Chicago Tribune contin
ues its agitation for revision. The mat
ter is practically in the hands of the ,
president. If he does not. call an extra
session the tariff will not be revised. So
far as we are concerned we have con
cluded that the democratic sentiment in
side the republican party is strong, and
that the democrat-republicans intend to
keep up the agitation until revision is
undertaken. It is absolute folly to dis
turb business conditions by any such
proceedings. So soon as congress takes
up the subject business will begin to
6top. Large dealers in wool say that the
purchases of wool are decreasing, be
cause of the threats against the tariff.
The same thing will apply to all theoth
er raw materials. If congress shall be
called in extra session for the purpose
of revising the tariff every business in
terest in the country will feel it. Its
effects will not be so immediate upon
farm products as upon other things, for
the farmer will not feel it until the farm
er's customer, who is the American
workingman, is thrown out of a job. But
j the farmer will ultimately feel it. If
j President Roosevelt calls an extra ses
! sion for the purpose of dealing with the
j tariff, he will do so honestly believing
j it is for the best and honestly believing
! that there is a sentiment in favor of it.
He wants to do what is right and best,
and he probably thinks that it is un-
J wise to undertake to hold the tariff
\ without changes for four years. But we
j trust that he will carefully consider the
i immediate effects on American indus
| tries the calling of a tariff session of
congress would produce. The country
is prosperous; work is plentiful; wages
j are high; everything is practically
• booming, and if let alone the year 1905
j will be a booming business year. But
we fear the effect of tariff tinkering.
\ The Dingley law is not a perfect meas
i tire, and the one that is likely to be made
to succeed it will not be perfect. But
| the Dingley law has been a good enaet
| mcnt for the American people. It has
| caused the greatest growth the country
, has ever known.
However, if the tariff is to be re
vised the extra session should be called
l immediately following the regular ses
j sion. in order that congress m:iy get to
| work and that the worst may be known
as soon as possible. With an extrases
| sion. and a general business disturbance,
pome of the ambitious politicians will
be much gratified and the country must
take the consequences.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1905
RECORD OF REPUBLICANS.
With One Break the Party Has Grown
Stronger at Each Succes
sive Election.
The republican party is the only on-i
in the history of the United States
which, if a single break be excepted, has
grown stronger and more numerous
with each successive national election,
says the New York Sun.
It was organized in 18!3Gand polled for
its presidential candidate in that year
1,300,000 votes. In 18G0 it polled 1,800,-
000, a gain of half a million.
In 18G4 it polled 2,200,000 —another
gain of half a million. In 1868 it polled
3,000,000 and in 1872 3,500,000, a gain of
half a million.
In 1870 it polled 4,000,000, another gain
of half a million, and in 1880 it polled
4.500,000, still another gain of half a mil
lion. From 1856 to 1876 the vote of the
republican party on the presidency in
creased from 1,300,000 to 4,000,000 an ab
normal gain in the history of American
politics.
In 1881 the vote of the republican
party was 4.850,000. In 1888 it was
5,450,000 —a gain of 000,000. Here came
the break.
Gen. Harrison, running for reelection
in 1892, instead of increasing on his
former vote, fell behind it, and in that
election, for the first time, the repub
lican party ceased to keep up its ratio
of growth, which had been continu
ous since its organization.
In 1896 the republican vote was 7,100.-
000, anff in the succeeding presidential
election of 1900 it was 7,200,000, a gain
of 100,000 in four years, while the dem
ocratic vote declined 200.000. Last year
the republican vote broke all previous
records, not only for the republican
party, but for any party in the United
States, reaching 7.700,000 for Theodore
Roosevelt.
When the fact is considered that the
republican party in several elections lias
drawn no part of its support from the
south and that in recent elections by the
operation of disfranchising laws in that
region its vote has been reduced, its
great gains election after election, with
only a single break, are the more re
markable. *
ARE ALL FOR NUMBER ONE
Free Trade Protectionists Who Are
Always Looking for the
Advantage.
One of the influences that will be
brought to bear on congress to reduce
certain schedules will come from manu
facturers of products that have found
ready market in this country because of
the stimulus given to all lines of indus
try through the protective tariff policy
of the republican party. These men
have enjoyed the fruits of protection,
and they now demand that, they be given
the advantages of free trad-e- also, says
the Milwaukee Sentinel. They ar>>
looking for a foreign market for
their products, and hope by r< ducing the
import duties on certain foreign prod
ucts that are seeking a market in this
country the foreign governments will be
induced to reciprocate by opening their
markets also.
It will be difficult to satisfy these
men. It is the old story of protection
for me and free trade for the other fel
low. It is upon this theory that south
ern free traders have invariably voted
lor protection for southern industries
and free trade for those of the north
ern states. It is on this principle that,
the northwestern millers are imw clam
oring for free Canadian wheat, while
protecting that they believe in protec
tion.
The Sentinel believes a revision of
tariff schedules should be made, but it.
also believes that every industry in the
country, however small and obscure or
great and prosperous, should be given
the full measure of protection required
to enable it to do business at a profit in
the home market.
ttTThe American people were polled
on a protective tariff last fall, and no
body is saying that their verdict lacked
emphasis.— St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
is a democratic state,
hut evidently it does not allow that fact
to interfere with its honorable purpose
to pay respect to the chief magisrate of
the nation. Practically the entire Ten
nessee legislature, which has only 23 re
publicans in a total membership of 131,
will attend {'resident Roosevelt's inau
guration and participate in the parade.
Proof of the growing good will in the
south toward the president is accumu
lating daily.—Troy Times.
AN OLD MAN'S TRIBUTE.
A.n Ohio Fruit Raiser, 78 Years Old, Cured
of a Terrible Case After Ten Years of
Suffering.
Sidney Justus, fruit dealer, of Men
tor, Ohio, says: " I was cured by Donn's
Kidney Pills of a severe case of ltid
ney trouble, of
eight or ten
years' standing.

often I could hardly straighten my
back. The aching was bud in the day
time, but just as bad at night, and I
was always lame in the morning. I
was bothered with rheumatic pains and
dropsical swelling of the feet. The
urinary passages were painful, and thu
secretions were discolored and so fret
that often I had to rise at night. I felt
tired all day. Half a box served to
relieve me, and three boxes effected a
permanent cure."

INVENTIVE INGENUITY.
An Austrian railway mechanic has
discovered a process by which the smoke
of warships can be entirely concealed
from view.
A clock which seems to be preem
inently adapted for the sick-room or
hospitals is the invention of Prof. Hirth,
of Munich. It consists merely in the de
pression of a button, which cuts in a
small electric lamp placed under the
dial of an electrically-illuminated clock,
throwing the shadow of the facs and
its hands upon the ceiling in a highly
magnified state. Viewed from the bod
of a reclining invalid, it obviates ths
irksome craning of the neck.
The man with the flowing mustaefcs
has not been forgotten by the inventor,
despite the fact that the many mustache
cups that one time or another have made
their appearance on the market all
proved pecuniary failures. The latest
aspirant for the honors in this particu
lar field is an Englishman, who offers a
neat little device for attaching to soup
spoons to facilitate the eating of soup
by the possessor* of long, flowing mus
taches. It Is made of aluminum and
embodies a spring design, which admits
of its attachment to practically any
spoon.
A French electromotlon company has
produced an electrio carriage in wh!ct»
the use of pinions, chains and gearing
for transmitting motion to the driving
wheels is entirely dispensed with. In
this new machine the motors and the
wheels are described as being one and
the same thing. The axles receive their
motive power directly from the accumu
lators. The weight of the carriage is
thus reduced, and it is asserted that
these "live-axle" machines can travel
20 to 30 per cent, farther than those of
ordinary construction because of the
caving of energy. The appearance of
the new carriages is improved, except
that the wheels have a clumsier look.

HER BLOODJOO THIN
GENERAL DEBILITY EESULTB FEOM
IMPOVERISHED BLOOD.
The Remedy That Makes New Blood
Danishes IVeakness, Headaches, In
digestion and Nerjous Troubles.
Hundreds of women suffer from head
aches, dizziness, restlessness, languor
and timidity. Few realize that their
misery all cornea from the bad state of
their blood. They take one thing for
their head, another for their stomach,
a third for their nerves, anrl yet all the
while it is simply their poor blood that
is the cause of their discomfort.
If 0110 sure remedy for making good,
rich blood were used every one of their
distressing ailments would disappear, as
they did in the case of Mrs. Ella F.
Btouo, who had been ailing for years and
was completely run down before she re
alized the nature of her trouble.
" For several years," said Mrs. Stone,
" I suffered from general debility. It
began about 1890 with indigestion, ner
vousness and steady headaches. Up to
1000 I hadn't been able to find any relief
from this condition. I was then very
thin and bloodless. An entliusiastio
friend, who had used Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills, urged mo to give them u trial and
I finally bought a box.
" I did not notice any marked changa
from the use of the first box, but I de
termined o give them a fair trial and I
kept on. When I had finished tli«
! second box I could see very decided signs
of improvement in my condition. I be
gan to feel bettor all over and to have
hopes of a complete cure.
" I used in all eight or ten boxes, and
when I stopped I bad got back my regu
lar weight and a good healthy color and
the gain has lasted. I can eat what I
pleaso without discomfort. My nervous
ness is entirely gone, and, while I had
constant headaches before, I very rarely
have one now. I cheerfully recommend
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to women who
suffer as I did."
Mrs. Stone was seen at her pretty
homo in Lakewood, R. 1., where, as the
result of her experience, Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills are very popular. These fa
mous pills are sold by all druggists. A
book that every woman needs is pub
lished by the Dr. Williams Medicine
Company, Sclieneotady, N. Y. It is en
titled "Plain Talks to Woiueu,"aud will
