The Carrolltown -Yttcs ia aa article
published lat week calls upon Mr. John
J. Kinney, the Democratic nominee for
sheritl to vindicate himself from the
aapeisions, charges and imputations of
one Michael MclSride, published some
tiuie Hgc by the Johnstown Tribunt.
The 'inlirutor published at Gallitzin,
Mr. Kinney's home, and also the
Freeman, had already pronounced the
charges false, but it seems that with the
kind of friends of Mr. Kinney, that the
editor of the Xetcs fell ia with on his
visit to Ebeusburg, on Monday of last
week, it requires something stronger to
vindicate a Democratic candidate from
the charges and imputations of a man
of Mr. McBride's standing, especially
when vouched for by the Johnstown
Tribune,
The Xeira says that the Democrats
"of that section" demand a public ex
pression of Mr. Kinney's "guilt or iuno
cense." The fact that the leading
Democrats ''of that section" say that
they heard no talk about the matter un
til the article published in the Xttrs was
printed, coupled with the fact that part
of the article was delivered extempor
aneously on the steps of a grocery store
in Ebensburg before its appearance in
the .V(ir, by one of the aforesaid
"friends" of Mr. Kinney,
'When whisky, Bt lore, bad not loto bis beJ,"
and the further fact that the Democrats
"of that section" have been accustom
ed to seriui; slanders of their own men.
appear year after year in the Tribune,
lead us to doubt the urgency of the de
mand from the Democrats "of thst
sec? ion."
The poile "of that section" know
the Tribune too well they have seen
it a-s.tii Join: Iiuok, James. I. Thomas,
D. A. Luther and Jjseph A. Gray,
each in his turn ti.ts ben the target for
the Tribune's malevolent slander?,
which never cetsd while they were
candidates, or until th y stepped out of
tliicial position. Their vindication was
at the polls, by the voters of CamLiu
county and John J. Kinney's vindica
tion will come tn November.
Fortunately for JCr. Kinney and the
people "of that section," Michael Mc
liridi paid Carrolltown a visit last win
ter and his stay, though short, was long
enough to enable the pecple "of that sec
tion" to discover him to be an impudent
fraud of the first water, and as such the
Carrolltown X f.s at the time denounced
him and the Johnstown Tribune gave
the article currency by republishing and
endorsing it.
The Democracy of Cambria county,
by iheir verdict at the primaries have
placed their faith in Ji hn J. Kinney's
character ani it will require something
more reliable than the insinuations of
Michael McIIride or the Johnstown
Iribune to .shake it.
The JWr. says "the Democratic coun
ty press from the depth of its humilia
tion dem.mds an explanation." The
.Wfr.s ts not Hit entire Democratic coun
ty pr-ss and can only speak for itself ;
if Michael Mcltrid- aud the Tribune
have worried the AVr. into despair and
humiliation, it Hiiist be a source of grati
fication tn Michael MolJride that ha has
got even wi'h the Ar. for its asper
sions on his character last winter"? If
the .Yt is .lid him irjust'ce then, if it
litis since iliscoverM that the ra.ntir.gs
of Michael McHrid are more vorthy cf
c ot;sid. -ration than the unimpeachable
character uf John J. Kinney, it; Fhould
in the cVpths cf Its Iiundliaticn do the i
fair thing by sp':log:7.::i2 to Michael
McEii.fe.
A3 far as the Freeman represents the
Democrat is cour.ty press, atid unlike the
.?".? it oniy p-H-ks for itfc:f, i: re
reuis the imputation of humiliation at
anything that Michael Bride or the
Jjhr:stown T. ibn ie can dior say, and
hurls buck the insinuations that John J.
Kinney was connected iu any manner or
forn: with a bargain or pale with Mc
Fiide, as ties, m their teeth. If they
have any let t r or writing of Mr Kin
ney's, we ch illi re them to pro! :?e it.

A Labor Congressman's Views.
House of Representatives. )
Washington, July 2S. J
To the Editor of Hit Star :
Sir In reply to yours of the 20th in
stant, requesting my reasons for voting
for the Mi'U Tarnff till, I answer as
follows :
First It is conceded by the repre
sentatives of the Democratic and Ita
publicau parties that the accumulation
of a large surplus of money in the Na
tional Treasury is fraught with danger
to the business interests of the country
by withdrawing that medium from the
channels of trade, which. If not stopped,
will cause a panic and result in bank
ruptcy to a large extent. Being largely
tinctured with the Greenback idea that
money should be in circulation among
the people and not cornered, and that
money holds the same relationship to
trade that a mechanic's toola do to the
mechanic; that bv taking the same from
the mechanic will cripple his usefulness
and ability in performing work and as
the Mills bill held cut Inducements to
btop this drain, and my llepublican
colleagues did not propose any measure
to remedy the evil, I gave the bill my
support.
Second The bill proposes to place
several articles on the free list that en
ter into the necessaries of life, such as
lumber, salt, tin, wool and several
others, and a slight reduction, not ex
ceeding on an average 5 per cent, on
articirs entering largely In home con
sumption. Now, so far as free and cheap
lumber, is concerned, it ranks next to
bread to the pet son who seeks to make
a home on our great Western prairies,
and no doubt it is the same in the Fast.
Salt that bountiful gift of nature
why tax that ? Tinplate is not made
in this country, and it enters so largely
into our domestic usei and in canning
the products of our country. Of wool
we do not produce half enough for home
consumption, even with all the so
called tariff stimulation. Why compel
cur people to pay for foreign made wool
en goo ils. with a tariff tax added, when
by permitting wool to enter our porta
free, our manufacturers would be given
a chance to provide us with homemade
goods, and thereby give twice the
amount of employment to wage
workers ? My iersonal experience
has taught me that cheap raw material
never reduced wages in a manufactory,
but. on the contraiy, it bad the tenden
cy to raise them.
Tmrd I do not believe that a na
tion can te made prosperous or happy
by taxation, nor should a Republican
form cf government like ours exact from
the p-op:e by taxation more than is ac
tually required for an economical ad
ministration of public affairs. Again,
a large accumulation of money in the
Treasury breeds extravagance and be
comes a factor of riemoralizition in
many ways. It is in its action like
malaria ; it enters the system slyly until
the whole body is poisoned. All taxa
tion, of whatever kind or nature, rests
upon the products of labor, for without
labor wealth cannot t produced, and. as
the exigence cf civilized man rets ubon
the prolncts of the soil, it is of the high
est importauca that legislation 8'iould
be framed so as to place the least possi
ble burden upon the tiller of the soil,
there by placing hire in a position to aid
his fellow laborer in t ha shop and factory
by becoming a larger consumer of man
ufactured aaticle", and vice versa.
Again, I find that in those States that
are supposed to receive the betfits of a
protective tariff there is more dissatis
faction, strikes and lockouts than in
States not so protected. There must be
sometning wrong m our political ma
chin
;ery that has compelled the wage-
. .,,1 .... . .1 t . .
worker and also the farmer to organi.f in
i s?oeiatior.s for protection against ex
tortion, .abuse and wage reduction. It
Is a sad picture to look at, after a cen
tury of cjns'ttutiotial existence.
In conclusion I will say that between
taking the tariff eff the necessaries cf
life and the internal revenue tax off to
bacco and whisky, I shall vote for the
former every tiroa I get a charce. Che :p
tobacco and w'll.sky means more demor-
m:zuri:i a'iu nruuE-ni:-ss, and 1 can
rct C;ve consent to such a measure.

Fflccts of llej chltcau Obstruction.
Itit-rrut tions in the operations of fac
toiies ne said to be somewhat mere nu
merous than is common at this reason
of the year, or than can be accounted for
simply on the ground of the agitations
of a Presidential canvass. The pro
longed uncertainty about the business
future, raustal by the obstructive course
1 of the Republicans in Congress, has in.
ilueeti titoi Jitv. ar.d prevented manufac
ture in anticipation of future demand.
IT It w-re known to-day that the Mills
bill would becomalaw within a iaonth.

nous huu u prejiere 10 tuse advantage
of the increased prosperity of which tne
country would be assured.
The Republicans vastly exagg-rate
the industrial uncertainty and depres
aion, T.'iey ate very foolish in doice
so, because business men are no longer
deceived by the feigned alarm of mono
poly politicians, and ascribe existing
ccndi.it.ns to lbir tru- cause.
A gieat ado has just been mide over
the ti. i icout inuance of work at hosiery
m..is ia New Jersey. But interviews
with the pronrietois show that the rea
son for stepping or reducing was cot po
litic! in tt.n Sen-j that tne RepublcaU
managers pretend.
lo tn w.M!en industries and In many
otheis the reduction or abolition of the
di.iics on materials, as fccheduled in the
M.Ls bill, will more than compensate
the industries for the diminution of
rates on foreign finished goods. The
margin for wagea will remain the same,
and the demand for workers will r.e
ceasanly grow with increased manufac
ture. It is proper to repeal this statement,
for the reason that the sole purpose ot
the scare" the Republican are tiying
to get up is to frighten the employees of
I lactones ju.o joioiog i:-pub!iean asso
ciations ami p.ejgiue their suppoit to
i th- Republican ticket.
The BUine politicians are aware that
I m.ist manufacturers -nrrate th f.!s.
j ness or their cinis. But they have a
iow t'l'i-jiou iu me intelligence of the
employes, and believe that they can lm
p'lse upon them by ascribing to the Mills
bill a la:k of employment which is eri
tirelydue to tbe unputriocic course of tbu
opponents ot Democratic tax reform.
If taxation should not be diminished,
and the accumulation of id.'o surplus
snoijid go on unchecked, then, indeed,
would our industries have reason to
fearas-ason of disaster. But let tha
money boarded up in the Treasury
away from the use of the rop be re-
! leased
o its natural empioyment in
tral-and industry; let materials be
rendered accessible at Usser cost, so as
to enable cs to take our proper Dart in

Change the Italauce r Trade
The official report cf the exports and
imports of the country for the year end
ing on the 30: h of June, shows a bal
ance of trade aeainst this country of
S2S.000.000. That is, we imoorted or
bought from foreign markets, 2S.U00.000
more than we exported or sold to for
eign markets and the trade of the year
leaves the United Srates 523.000,000
poorer than when the year becran.
While we have exported $23,000,000
of gold from the country this year to
pay the balance of trade against us, we
have had free trade in cheap labor to the
extent of importing 550,000 immigrants,
some of whom are criminals and many
of whom are Huns, Poles and Italians,
wno are fugitives from pauper labor
abroad to cheapen and pauperize Amer
ican labor in this country.
We must change the balance of trade
in our favor or we must steadily decline
in prosperity. The family that expends
more each year than it earns, or that
buys more than it sells, is steadily im
poverishing itself, and the country that
buys more than it sells must impover
ish its industry and send its gold to pay
the difference.
How can the balance of trade be
changed in our favor ? A judicious
protective tariff is the proper aud oulv
remedy. We have a very high tariff;
higher than any tariff ever framed as a
distinctively protective tariff, but it
only taxes and oppresses industry while
it gives our borne markets to foreign
mills and labor. The woolen goods
alone imported last year, if manufactur
ed at borne as they should be, would
have changed the balance of trade from
523,000,000 against us to at least $20,
000.000 in our favor, and the present
Knglisb manufacture for the American
market is tbe largest ever kuown.
Why have not these woolens been
supplied by borne mills and home labor ?
To that question there is only one an
swer. The answer in that England
gives free wool, free chemicals, free dye
staffs, etc., to her woolen manufacto
ries, while we tax our home mills and
labor 41 per cent, for raw wool with
high taxes on other raw materials.
Thus with a tax of some GO per
cent, imposed npon the consumers of
woolen goods, we largely pay that op
pressive tax for the privilege of wearing
English woolens and tuaking the bal
ance of trade against us.
There must be something radically
wrong with our tariff laws when, with
bountiful crops and no abnormal de
pression of trade, we import more than
we export that is buy More, than we
sell. Tbe first purpose of a protective
tariff is to build up borne industries to
supply borne markets and keep the
balance of trade in our favor ; but
we overtax consumers by a mockery
of protection, and give European mills
and labor a large eh are of our markets
by the suicidal taxes Imposed u(ori the
raw materials needed to prosper our in
dustries. We must change the balance of trada
in our favor, and the way to do it is to
abolish taxes upon the necessaries of
industry and of life and give our home
mills and labor our own home markets
with a chance for the markets of tbe
world. Let us get down to honest pro
tection to labor and at once stop the
protection of extortionate combines
and monopolies, and our labor will
have increased employment at bet

Mr. James G. Blame will sail on the
magnificent new steamship. City, of

ew x oik ua vugusi. I. a ne great
ship t ill probihly give the great mac
less time for ocean meditations than any
other craft on which be might have
takeu pasaage, for it is expected that
the voyage will be done In six days.
Still th- world was made in that time,
and Mr. Blaine will have a good deal to
think of If his surroundings are anything
of an object lesson to him.
lie sails on the grandest ship that
ever undertook to share the regular
ocean trade. It is owned by an Ameri
can company, it cost about a million
of American dollars. The first ques
tion Mr. B'aiite may ponder on is this :
Why was not such a ship owned by
Americans, supported mainly by rich
American rassengers, built in America?
Why did not a portion of the million
go into the pockets of American wurk
ingmen ? Why did not another portion
of i go to American engineers, to
American miilowners. to Ameri
can lumbermen, to American deco
orators and to American ship chand
lers ? In short, why was that million
taken from this country and spent in
England V When Mr. Blaine goes on
board he will walk on a deck made in
Glasgow. He will go down to his lux
urious stateroom decorated by & firm in
London. He will lie down in a bunk,
the furnishings ot which come from
Manchester. He will eat what roieals he
lakes co English Worcester ware. He
will cut his steak with Sheffield cutlery.
Everything be does, everything be sees,
those six days cbould remind him of the
iniquitous laws that make tbe building
of such a ship an impossibility in Amer
ica Mr Blaine, himself, stand at the
bead of the party which savs that rather
tbau allow a cent of tbe tax that pre
vented that million being spent where
it rightfully belonged, they will give us
what ? Free whisky. httroit Free

The refusal of-Governor Forter. of
Indiana, to accept the nomination of
his party for the executive office this
year bos spread consternation among the
Iieputdicais not only in that Statfi, but
throughout the country. The mana
gers relied oa ex-Governor Forter to
carry the party to victory, and his posi
tive and peremptory refusal leaves them
without a shadow of hope.
Of course the effort will be made to
show that this declination of Governor
Forter is not tbe result of disappoint
ment with the work of the Chicago
Convention or dissatisfaction with the
arraugemeuts that have been made to
conduct the canvass in the interest of
Harrison. But such attempts will
signally fail. Governor Forter. though
I be placed Harrison's
name before the
convention, was outspoken in his pre
ferences for Gresham, while the free
whiskv plank in to- platform is positive
ly obnoxious to him.
This is only the beginning of the Re
publican troubles, and from this time
until th close of the campaign they
will follow each other in quick succes
sion. But after this event subsequent
disappointments will be unimportant.
This action on the part of Forter loses
the State of Indiana b-yond a doubt,
aud without the vote of tbat Slate for
Harrison the G. O. F.is without a ghost
of chance for success. Governor Fcrter's
declination :s the death-kneil of the Re
publican party. rhilu Jlerald.

before the bottle containing it exploded, and
the car was soon filled with the escaping
vapor. A rush for the doors was theiaupon
made by the startled passengers, but thoss
who were unable to get on the platforms,
it is reported, were visibly affected by the
ether and became remarkably hilarious, so
much so, in fact, that they acted as if iutox
ieated. The" influence of the drug, of

lake has been dragged repeatedly, and
everything done to try and throw light on
the mystery, and now when search was
nearly abandoned the bodies have been
recovered by a diver. From the position
