Farmers and laboring men, there is no conflict between capital and labor ; but there is an irrepressive conflict between you and tbe political snysters, confi dence men, trusts combinations and monopolies, loa are threatened with bankruptcy, pauperism and total anni hilation as prosperous American citi zens. Many of yon are compelled to sacrifice your products at prices below tbe cost of production in order to obtain tbe necessaries of life. and it is only a question of ttma bow long yon can keep the Sheriff from the door. There mast be something radically wrong ta a system of government that will thus impoverish tbe wealth-produce- Ing classes. What Is it ? This is a question tbat yoc most meet and solve for yonrselves. We are told that tbe country was never in a more prosperous condition ; that tae increase of wealth was never so great or rapid aa it bas been under tbe protect I re policy since tbe war ; bat we are not told that this wealth is not distributed among tbe class that produced It ; that it la taken oat of circulation and locked np in Wall street and tbe National Treasury ; that this money was pilfered from tbe peo ple by corrupt politicians and by ways that were dark ; capitalistic Interests have invented a suction pnmp. In tbe way of a protective tariff, that bas drawn nearly all your vitality. Farmers, yoa have been protecting infant industries for seventy years. Yoa were told that Ibis was a tempora ry lax ; yoa who consume the products of tbose Industries mast pay until they were in a condition to compete with foreign factories, then tbe tax should be removed. Oar manufacturing plants have tecome firmly established, and with improved machinery, cheap fuel, steam power and unlimited capital they can compete on equal terms with any nation oa the globe, but tbey still clamor for protection. Tbey know that this is tbe goose that lays the golden eggs, and tbey not only refuse to kill It, but are now at work feeding it with higher duties so that it will lay more and larger golden eggs. Every intelligent man knows there is not gold and silver enough in tbe world to transact its business, consequently business with foreign countries must be carried on through tbe medium of ex changing products one country for the commodities of others. Tbe farmer wants to trade bis surplus wheat for sugar and clothing. His wheat, we will say. is worth 21 per bnsbel. and be can exchange in tbe borne market at the rate of one bushel of wheat for two yards of cloth or thirteen pounds of sugar. In the English market be can exchange one bushel of wheat for three yards of the same cloth, or for nineteen pounas of sugar. Here steps in tbe tariff and takes out of tbe farmer 40 per cent, on tbe value of tbe elotb and 70 per cent, on tbe value of tbe sugar ; can be see bow be is protected ? Henry Clay, the great advocate of protection, would not insult the intelligence cf the American people by pretending that tbe tariff benefited any but tbe industries so protected. Modern protectionists are entitled to tbe honor of discovering that tbe taiiff protected tbe larmer and laborer. Farmers, there la do Canaan that yoa can be taken to ; no Hoses will rise to led yoa. bat you can save yourselves. You have the power in your own bands ; will you use it ? Bal lots will be more potent to put down tyranny and oppression in ISilO than bullets were in 1861. -Stork and llonxt. tfadmaa en a Train. CotrMnrs. July ?1 To-day while en route to Columbus Vance E. S iny, a member of tbe Central Detective agency of Topeka, Kan., was suddenly seized with rabies and cleaned oat an entire car with the exception of a com panion, wbo fearlemlv remained with him. About six weeks ago fierce bound Invaded a boose aboat four miles from Don don, O., and Mr. SoSey was called upon to drive it oat. He did so, bat was bitten npon tbe cheek by tbe animal. Shortly afterward the hound went mad. and feaiiag tbe worst tbe friends of Mr. Sofly secured a card of admission to St. Francis toepital hare and he was plsced on a Little Miami train with a companion and started for Columbus this morning. White en roots be suddenly became crazed and exhibited every symptom of rabies. The passengers fled from tbe car in the ntmnet alarm, and lbs doors were locked by tbe trainmen to prevent the afS eted man from getting out at the people who were on the train. He foamed at tbe month, napped and snarled at everyone be saw. and the merest sight of water threw bin into violent convulsions. At tbe depot an effort was made to have him taken home, but tbe railroad people refused to furnish him transportation back, fearing that he. would clean oat tbe train. He was then taken to tbe sta tion bouse for safe keeping and placed in a corridor, oat ot tbe way of every body.

On June 25:b Martha Ana Bogert, aged seventy, died at ber borne. 1,049 Magnolia avenue, this city. About a week ago ber hus band was surprised on looking over ber personal effects to come across an old. auapiaatea banana tn which, on being opened, was fonnd staffed a large num ber of small tobacco pouches. On open ing them tbey were found to be filled with rolls ot bank bills of yarious de nominations and silver coin. Bogert, who was tbe woman's second husband, was cute enough to only let a couple persons into tbe secret, as Mrs. Bogert bad heirs at law, and having died without making a will, be was afraid tbey might claim the treasure. He quickly disposed ot all tbe bouse-, bold effects and started a few daye ago for Oregon, where ha baa a brother liv ing. Since his departure the story bas leaked oat and tbe heirs in consequence are iodrgnat to think that the treasure baa slipped from tbeir clutches. Tbone to whom Bogert confided bis discovery and wbe bad seen the money counted out by him say there was over 57,000 in tbe old satchel. Mrs. Bogert during ber lifetime was noted for ber miserly propensities. It is said of ber that she even used to split lucifer matches in quarters to make them last lenger. J. B.

The Inter-State Commerce question, i The opening of the debate in the House upon tbe so-called or:z'.2a: package" bill indicates thai it wul tired tbe whip or bpaaer nea to anv u through. Evtrn as a "party measure" its policy is questioned. It is begins oiug to be observed by tbose wbo made tbe moat fuss about tbe disasirous ef fects or tbe recent decision of the Sas preme Court, that It baa bad no effect at all except in States or towns that undertake to enforce absolute prohibi tion. Tbe delegation to Congress of tbe power to regulate commerce between tbe States was made with tbe purpose of preventing sooh exclusive measures as must inevitably lead to coafusion. As Mr. Rod iters, of Arkansas, pointed out, if one State can forbid tbe impor tation of whisky another can forbid the importation of tobacco or of cottousetd oil or of any other product of another State, thus leading to retaliatory meas ures and tbe general obstruction of commerce. It was to avoid this that the States agreed to place tbe regula ion of com merce in tbe bands of tbe Federal Con gress bat Ibty did not surrender any of tbeir police powers or authority to regulate trade within tbeir own borders. And as tbe Con resa does not possess any such authority. It follows that it cannot delegate it to the btates, any more tban it conld give back to them bv law any of tbe powers which tbey have delegated to it by the Constitu-. tion. This is tbe weak point of the bill now under oonsideration in tbe House and tbe reason why many good constitution alists deoy that it would have any practical value. It the Supreme Court has correctly interpreted tbe Constitu tion, they say, we cannot change it by an act of Congress, even if tbe change were desirable : if the Supreme Court bas made a mistake, it will have to be corrected by judicial process and addi tional legislation will only add to tbe confusion. As a matter of fact tbe supposed con fusion is mainly imaginary and will rapidly tend to correct itself. The Courts are already narrowing the appli cation of the late decision, even in tbe prohibition States, and in States tbat maintain a rational license law it is not of the slightest interest. PhUa. Times. War in Central America. City or Mexico, July 21. The re ported battle between tbe forces of Guatemala and San Salvador, in which the former were defeated and the con sequent breaking out of war, turns out to be true, accordingly to the latest offi cial advices received by the confidential agent of the Provisional Government of San Salvador, Senor Geroniom Pou wbo arrived here Saturday nigbt from San Salvador. It began without tbe usual formalities of a declaration of war, and for his country Senor Poo claims first victory. Senor Pon then exhibited the following telegram from General Ezeta: "July IS The enemy, 9.000 strong, yesterday invaded S-tn Salvador, but our forces bravely repulsed them, caus ing tbeir complete rout. Many pieces of artillery, large quantities of am munition, and hundreds of stacks of arms were captured by us. I have giv en orders to advance Into Gautemala." Senor Pou says tbe Salvador army is armed with Remington rifles, machine guns and mountain batteries, and is generally well equipped with plenty of money. It is the general opinion here that in ease there be war between Guatemala and San Salvador the first named coun try will be victorious, owing to its su perior forces. It Is rumored tbat Pres ident Brillas, of Guatemala, talks of re signing. General Baroda, tbe Guate malan refugee, bas left Oaxaca to take part in tbe war. He will proba bly raise tbe standard ot revolt in Gua temala. Minister DIeguez. of Guatemala, daunts tbe authenticity of tbe report of a battle between tbe troops of Guate mala and San Salvador. He says tbat tbe only dispatches received are from points in San Salvador where it Is known tbat tbe press ceosorabip is in force. Senor Pon says that in the present war between tbe two countries, Xicar asua and Coata Rica will become the allies of San Salvador, from the fact thst should San Salvador be worsted it would be annexed to Guatemala, and both these countries above named would be at the mercy of tbe conqueror. Senor Poo received a telegram from General Ezeta yesterday, stating that an alliance bad been formed between Guatemala and Honduras. The Party Press. Within a few days tbe Democratic leaders sr tbe Stale will begin prepara tions for tbe campaign. Tbe various methods of en listing public interest in tbe work will be considered, and ways and means devised for bnnglng the full vote to tbe polls. This will be tbe first step in tbe canvass already more tban hopeful. It will be one of tbe most important. W hile it Is cot wise to adopt the sug gestions ef an enemy it is safe to profit by bis advice. Assistant Postmaster General Clarkson, in a recent speech, attributed the diminution of tbe Re publican vote to tbe fact tbat tbe public press is against tbat party. As a means of turning tbe tide in tbe matter it may be observed that the Republicans are endeavoring to alter the conditions, and new Republican papers are being projected bere and there. At least two, if current reports are to be relied on, will be started in this State in tbe near future. This fact contains food for Democrat ic reflection. There is no need (or new Democratic papers in Pennsylvania, but there is urgent necessity (or strengthen ing those already in tbe work. This is particularly the case witb reference to the county papers in . the several counties. Tbey are tbe faithful labor ers tn tbe cause of tbe party, and every accessible means of aiding tbem should be adopted. Money tbat is wasted ic campaign fuss and feathers can be need to excellent advantage in strengthen ing the local papers and the Democratic managers ought to give tbe subject caieful consideration.

' 1. lie keeps thoroughly posted in regard to the clothing industry. 2. He buys directly from the manufacturers. 3. He buys in large quantities. 4. He pays the spot cash and avails himself of the liberal discounts granted on lar purchases 5. It not infrequently happens that, pressed for money, a manufacturer sells at prices aW. less than the cost of the material and its making up. Such opportunities are taken advantage of every occasion presenting themselves. These reasons alone (others can be given) are, we trust a sufficient answer to the question: does March sell so much cheaper than any of the other ready-made clothiers of Altoona. From the above the inference is plain that buying in large quantities, paying spot cash, find ing advantage of all golden opportunities growing out of financial failures of manufacturers of clolt we can give customers superior advantages, and at the same time secure reasonable profits for selves. We append below prices of a few of our goods, but it must be remembered that the gcods be seen and examined.
