2 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. H. H. MULLIN, Editor and Proprietor Published Every Thursday EMPORIUM. - PENNSYLVANIA Just at present that sectarian insur rection in Spain looks like a fizzer. It seems that the tussock moth acorns to put ».s eggs in cold storage. For an agreeable summer job how would you like to demonstrate ham mocks? The Germans are using heavy artil lery to shoot at airships. Why not try air guns? No matter how the weather 112 jid temperature change, tho humidity never fails to come back. But oven old Rome before it fell never lad to contend with cold-stor age eggs all the year round. Are you giving proper appreciation to the class of summer weather the man in charge is handing out? France wants an inspiring song for its soldiers to sing as they march. They are welcome to sing "Kelly." And still the patient hen goes on without asking whether she is work ing for an incubator or a cold storage plant. "Apple crop outlook good." Seems to us that we heat* 1 , something about its, certain failure just after those April frosts. Plymouth has the rock, Provincs town the tall tower, and the country generally the rest of the monument in men and women. The rubber acreage in India i 9 said to be increasing, but then It is to b€> naturally expected that such a prod uct would stretch out. At some of the eastern hotels, we ore told, they serve reed birds that can scarcely be distinguished from genuine English sparrows. Singing songs while fishing will make the fish bite, a dispatch says, and, in most instances, small blame can be attached to the fish. An instrument which is being used in London hospitals enables a doctor to see the interior of a patient's stom ach. Being a London doctor must be disagreeable. It is estimated that Americans have been swindled out of $9,000,000 in Mexican rubber schemes. Think of the automobiles or duck trousers that money would have bought. In Newport a fashionable woman wearing a hobble skirt waa tripped in alighting from her runabout and fell upon her face, cutting It. She should now cut the hobble. Scientists announce that people can become energetic by eating raisins. The trouble is that most of the ener gy produced by eating raisins has to be expended in removing the Beeds. A Missouri convict mathematically inclined hopes for pardon because he discovered how to reduce equa tions of the tenth degree. A study of English might show him how to short en his sentence. Fears for trie leaning tower of Pisa are shared only by admirers of tho antique. If the worst should happen, a modern skyscraper would undertake to fit I'lsa out with an even more re markable structure. A minister in New England has the audacity to suggest that there will be baseball In heaven. Probably thinks that if the streets are gold the fields may be diamonds. Hut what will they do for umpires? They have all bee| told togo to the other olace. A rich f'allfornia lawyer has hired a $2,000 private car to transport his pet dog across the continent. And probably the dog, gaxing from his luxurious quarters, envies the freedom ami privileges of the street cur he sees exercising his muscles In a free- . for-all fight or luxuriously lunching 1 on a ragged hone picked out of a I casual garbage can.

Universal Prosperity, Largely Due tc Wise Administration of the Coun try's Affaire, Is Bound to Have Its Effect. There la just now a vast amount of guessing being done concerning the final lineup In national politics and concerning the plans and purposes of two very influential actors. This Is the formulative stage of the cam paign when, lacking facts, an im mense amount of superfervid politi cal fiction is being put afloat. The Democratic organization the country over is like Bre'r Rabbit — "Layin' low and sayin' nothin'." But something must be said finally; the Democracy must this year make its usual attempt to explain what it etands for, and when this explanation shall be given out it will immediately become apparent that the word does not square with the deed —that is to Bay, the Democratic platform decla rations will contain the usual per functory commitments concerning a tariff for revenue, with a protective principle entirely eliminated. And then, by reference to the extra ses sion records of the Democratic rep resentatives in the Sixty-first con gress, it will be possible to show that there were mighty few Democratic representatives who did not favor a protective rate when commodities in which their own districts were inter ested under discussion. The Democratic attitude In practical dem onstration is: Protect ours, but don't protect the other fellow's business. In the framing of every tariff which has been accomplished under the in spiration and control of the Republi can party the principle of protecting American labor and American indus tries has been embodied. And the Payne tariff, in obedience to the com mands of the last Republican national platform, has its schedules adjusted with the view to protecting home in terests. The last Republican plat form declares the policy of the Re publican party to be: "Not only to preserve without excessive duties that security against foreign competition to which American manufacturers, farmers and producers are entitled, but also to maintain the high standard of living of the wage earners of this country, who are the most direct bene ficiaries of the protective system." And the new tariff, thus far in its practical results, has proved to be not only admirably adjusted for the rais ing of a sufficient revenue, but there has been under it industrial revival and high-range prosperity the country over. And when the arguments that will Influence voters in the approaching congressional elections are sifted down to an Irreducible minimum this fact of the country's prosperity is go ing to show up large. Singularly enough, endeavor is being rnado to create dissatisfaction with the new tariff in the south and central west The south is getting 10 cents a pound for its cotton —nearly three times the price prevailing under the last Demo cratic tariff—and the west Is getting $1 per bushel for its wheat and G5 cents for its corn, or just about double the prices obtained under the Wilson- Gorman tariff. The Republican party in the campaign that is ahead will stand upon tin* policies and the record of tho party and will win. It Is only i question this year, as it was two years ago, of how large the Republi can majority in the next house is go ing to be. The Annual Free Trade Lie. The Kansas City Star has been claiming that the tariff on broom corn was the cause of the high prices of brooius. The Republicans have held that It was a shortage of brooms The Star recently contained an article writ ten by one of its reporters saying that the shortage of broom corn last year ruined the price to $250 per ton and brooms to 45 and 5o cents each. Hut a big crop of broom corn was uow In sight, and the dealers of Kansas City believe that as soon as the crop Is ready for the market that broom corn will drop to sr>o ti SIOO per ion and the price of brooms back to 20 and IB cents. Another free trade He nailed. —J'leasatiton (Kan i Observer. His Record Clear. For >ears James S.

If the tariff be reduced we cannot maintain the high wage rate now in force. A lowering of the tariff would s invite an influx of foreign goods pro duced by cheap labor, and wages In our country would have togo down with the tariff as a matter of business existence.—Mr. Frank A. Munsey, in t New York Herald. ; Mr. Frank A. Munsey In that sen -3 tence places American labor face to 3 face with the real meaning of the 3 tariff problem. His views as regards . this question are based on practical . experience, gained at considerable ex . pense in the publication of a stagger ing number of newspapers and maga ; zines. For some time past it has been . a dull year indeed which has not seen (■ Mr. Munsey found a magazine or pur , chase a daily newspaper. Already his , interests of this kind embrace a good- ly portion of the United States, and as , his activity shows no sign of waning r they may one day extend from the At , lantic to the Pacific coast and from , the great lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Munsey as an employer of labor . is in a position to speak nuthorita t tively regarding wages, his opinions , being based on first hand information, I and he will have rendered labor in the . United States an immense service if . he succeeds in opening its eyes to tlje . fact that tinkering with the tariff is . In reality tinkering with wages. The . question to be answered is not, as Mr. t Munsey points out, whether protection L is advantageous for this, that or the . other country, it Is this: Are Ameri , can labw organizations prepared to accept the inevitable consequences of a radical downward revision of the tar iff? One of these consequences, and ( one that directly concerns labor, must be a reduction of wages. The aban donment, wholly or partially, by the United States of the high protective tariff principle would so stimulate for eign competition with home industries that American manufacturers to meet I it would be forced to lower the pres ! ent rate of wages. If they did not for eign competition would sweep them out of existence, throwing labor out of employment. , As Mr. Munsey says, if the tarifT Is lowered, wages must be lowered. You cannot have both high wages and a lower tariff. Cotton Weaving iri Japan. i Some Interesting facts relating to • the development of Oriental competi tion in the spinning and weaving of 1 cotton textiles are set forth in the : current issue of the Textile Manufac turers' Journal. The hostile critics of « the cotton schedule of the tariff 01 I 1909 might, if their minds are open to conviction, see in the Orient a con dition and a prospect that do not tend 1 to support the contention that the tar iff on cottons is too high. Official sta tistics show that in Japan there has 1 been since 1900 an increase of 259,007 spindles, while the increase in pounds of yarn spun has been 94,171,381 , pounds. Of the 74,225 operatives em ployed in the Japanese spinning in dustry 58,9(10, or nearly 80 per cent., are females. Their average daily wage Is 14 cents, while the average daily wage of the male operatives Is 22 cents. At this rate how long will It be, with a constant increase in ship ments of English textile machinery to Japan, before the "Yellow Peril" be comes industrial rather than political? Judging from pres«*nt indications, the time is near at hand when there will be nobody left In the United States to contend that the tariff on cotton fab- I rlcs is too high; that is, nobody but free traders, who would be only too J well pleased to find the cotton weav- I ing industry of the United States com pletely wiped out by Japanese compe tition. How About the Farmers? How about the west, with which the ) importations of Canadian grain, hay j butter and other natural products I would come Into Idrect competition? If New England is entitled to protec lion for manufacturers, Is not the west as fairly entitled to protection for farm produce? And If Canada will con sent only to reciprocity which affects j natural products bow is (he matter ! to be arranged In a manner to suit all American Interests? Of course tho j difficulties may not be Insurmountable, and it Is possible that, coming togeth er In an amicable spirit, the I'nited States anil Canada may yet fix upon a plan that Mill be mu'ualiy satisfactory und advantuKeous.

Consequently when he came to the elec tlve courses in his Junior year he turned aside from the distinctive studies of the arts and chose those which he believed would help him in his later career.
