(Jovubsok McKisi.ey is l-usily engaged
in explaining why the wicked Democrats
are to blame ..ecause his high tariff on
wool and wheat has not kept up the
price of these articles.
Thom as Skitxe, of North Corolina.who
isonly years old, is the youngest
member of the House of Kepresena
tives. He is by profession a lawyer and
is said to le a forc eful sjieaker.
The remarkable fact is called to mind
in an article that will appear in the 8ep
temler Forum on Confederate Tensions
that there are 40u,KH.l more ensioners
on the Government pension rolls than
there ever were soldiers in the Confeder
ate service.
The Pittsburg W says: Wool is now
14 cents a pound cheaper under the high
McKinley tax than it was under the so
called free trade or tariffs for revenue
only, extending from lH-it) to 1S01. And
what is equally remarkable, instead of
the McKinley bill cutting off foreign im
portations of wool they have largely in
creased under it. This hardly bears out
the Republican idea that business prostra
tion is due to lemocratic free trade in
the future. If free trade was coming
w hy should there le increased importa
tions of wool at McKinley tariff prices?
1'RF.KflDKNT fit A I'Nt'KY F. 15l.A( K, of
the lH-mocratie society of Pennsylvania,
has issued a circular calling attention to
the general assembly to ie held at Allen
town, Septeinler 2. He says distin
guished IVmocratie leaders will be pres
ent to address the delegates. A general
attendance of regularly chosen deputies
is urged. New societies will be received
on the game footing as formerly, as no
enrollment fee has been fixed. Secreta
ry John P. Wormau requests secretaries
to observe carefully the requirements of
the constitution relating to forwarding
of lists of otlicers and members fifteen
days U'fore forwarding certified list of
deputies. Secretaries are also requested
to sjxvify names and numler of depu
ties. Secretaries are also requested to
secify names and numlx'r of deputies
who will attend the assembly.
The I emocrats of Ohio accepted the
challenge of the high tariff Republicans,
w hose candidate for Governor is William
JIcKinley, of tariff bill fame, by nomina
ting as their guliertiatorial candidate,
Lawrence Neat, of Chillicothe. IJotli
the platform and the candidate are
straight in line with tariff reform.
Mr. eal is one of the earnest and un
tiring IenuK'iats of his stat and his
record has been steadily against "pro
tection" which does not protect. He
was the author of the tariff reform
plank in the National iVmocratie plat
form adopted at Chicago, and accepts
the McKinley challenge with eagerness
and confidence. The State of Oh;o was
nearley won by the lomocrats last Nov
ember on the tariff issue, and the Icni-iK-rats
will enter the fight, with Mr.
Neal as their leader, with a determina
tion to secure entirely the triumph
w hich they almost won at the last Pres
idential election.
Tut radical free silver men at Wash
ington insist that the unconditional re-l-al
of the purchasing clause of the Sher
man act in the Senate is un utter im
possibility and that there is a small ma
jority against it. Even were it other
wise, they assert, the free silversenators,
w ho pay that they will never allow the
Sherman law to ly wiped from the stat
ute liooks until they obtain something
Utter, can hold the Senate in check in
definitely without a closure rule iu that
body, and it is generally conceded that
the adoptiou of such a rule cannot lo
carried. So that, just as in the case t.f
the anti-option bill last session, when a
handful of Senators talked that measure
to death, the larger numlier of silver
Senators can keep the Seuate from com
ing to a vote on this bill, and the final
result of the extra session's work may be
the adoption of a compromise, the na
ture of which has, not U-cu decided
upon.
Evidences that the money market is
easing up and that the jeople who have
foolishly hoar. led cash are returning it to
the banks, says the Pittsburg IfojHth-h,
are noted from more than one quarter.
Several examples of reopened accounts
were rejrted yesterday, as the result of
comparatively cursory inquiry.
This was sure to come. The with
drawal of money from active circulation
waa the result of temporary ami baseless
misapprehensions. The liest proof of
the foolishness of the distrust has been
afforded by the unshaken condition of
the banks and of business solvency
generally. The recognition of this fact
ill bring the lockedup funds back in-

The Republican convention met here
on Monday and nominated their county
ticket. The convention had been pretty
well set up kefore it met and as we pre
dicted some time ago, F. H. Uarker.
was nominated for treasurer. Several
weeks aso, when Mr. Barker first an
nounced his intention of taking the
nomination for county treasurer him
self it raise,! quite a commotion among
the other candidates, ami deep and loud
were the muttering? igainst the grasp
ing greed of the P.arkers in reaching for
everything that a p "eared in view.
The loudest candidate in h:s protesta
tions several weeks ago how ever, w as the
easiest reconciled and at the meeting of
the convention on Monday, Coulter was
the only candidate that it was necessary
to lick and it was decided to take two or
three ballots to do it.
On the first ballot Darker had HI.
Coulter :SiU. Dtvis rX and Miller IS.
The second ballot Uarker had '.,
Coulter had:5M. Davis 2.U and Miller 12.
The third ballot brought llarker 7",
Coulter 4U and Davis L'U, and Mr. Bar
ker was declared the nominee.
For county commissioner Edmund
James, of Elensburg, would have suite.)
the Barker side of the party much let
ter than Commissioner Lloyd, but as
they had themselves to look after in the
present use.and did not dare to tight Mr.
Lloyd, Mr. James was allowed to take
care of himself. That made his candi
dacy a mild one and Mr. Lloyd was
nominated of the first ballot.
The ballot on commissioner was a
follows: Lloyd Sti; Wertz CI ; Kennedy
11 ; James 4'2; Jones 12; Moran 22; and
Hughes 41. On the third ballot Wertz
was noniiualed.
For poor director, James Somerville,
of Susquehanna township, who is a
standing candidate was nominated.
For auditors, William J. Jones, of
Portage, and James Daily, of
Allegheny township, were nominated.
Sheriff James Shumaker, of Ebensburg,
W. L. Keedy, of Westmont, and W. P.
Heese, of Johnstown, were elected dele
gates to the state convention.
Last week the new lemocratie Rules
were published iu all the lVmocratic
pajers iu the county. We trust by this
time every Iemocrat has read and is
familiar with them. We have but one
opinion of them and that is soou told.
They are too numerous and top heavy
and should be amended at once.
That part of Rule 8 which relates to
instructions should be abolished.
Rules t, 14, ami l'.should he abolished.
A party having 1200 to 1"(H) majority
might be aide to worry along and carry
the load of rules, but in a county as close
as Cambria the convention should 1 al
lowed some discretion and should exer
cise some judgment.
Rule 19 prevents the consideration of
any candidate unless he is registered
and as the office hunters are pretty sure
to be registered and the men whom the
office should seek pretty sure to l not
registered the rule is a bad one.
The situation in Cambria is such that
a little judgment used by a IVmocratic
convention in the selection of candidates
might le of immense advantage to the
party. To tie up tht convention to the
consideration of only such candidates as
register themselves is to confine the wis
dom of the representatives of the party
to a very narrow sphere.
The IVmocratic convention should l
allowed to register its candidates from the
lest material it can find, no matter
whether the men selected are hunting
after the offices or not.
As the rules cannot le changed for a
year, we believe it would 1 wise to have
the amendments suggested offered at
the coming convention and if concurred
in, adopted by the succeeding conven
tion. President Cleveland's message to
Congress, says the Philadelphia Tint',
puts to shame the mousing partisans
and petty calamity mongers. It is lold
patriotic, statesmanlike ami unanswera
ble. It probes the national wound to
the core and prescriles the remedy so
clearly that none can misunderstand it.
There is not the trace of the partisan
in the brief but incisive message given
to Congress and the country. It recog
nizes the solemn judgment of the nation
on other vital issues; but it justly as
sumes that until we shall have an honest
and impregnable financial system there
can l no business confidence and no
industrial or commercial piosperity.
The message calls a halt on dishonest
money, and it is a call that the nation
will resjicctaiid obey, Revolutionary or
even disturbing measures are not pro
posed; but the way to a sound financial
system is pointed without shock or in
justice to any legitimate interest.
The lines of public and private credit
and of all legitimate business will le at
ouce steadied by the calm and patriotic
utterance from the President and the
clouds w hich hang so darkly over every
enterprise will U gin to give way before
the welcome sunlight of renewed hope
and energy. It is a message of deliver
ance to a sorely distressed nation, and it
will reiospire faith in our couutry and
in t'tir people in every civilization of
the world.
Light breaks at last, and there is every
reason to ttdieve that Congress will
promptly respond to the appeal of the
President.
On Monday President Cleveland ap
pointed Captain George W. Skinner, of
Fulton county, to In? Pension Agent
at Pittsburg. Captain Skinner is editor
of the Fulton county Democrat and at
present represents that county in the
legislature. He has the ability to fill
the position and lacing an old soldier is
the right man in the right place.
The Washington 7W suggests that
as
it was no time for ti. Idling when Rome
was in Haines, so it is no time for con
gressional violining when the country is
suffering. But the seeche3 that have
ien prepared with so much care during
the recess must lie delivered or several
aide congressmen will explode.
uhiui"ii Letter.
Washinc.to.v, 1 C. August 11, 19Z.
President Cleveland's message tJ Con
gross has been as closely studied as any
similar document ever w is by iiD inl-crs
of Congress and it is evident that it
going to It' a jwcrtul laeior
1 the financial legislation of toe
session. it apparently opp.se 1. it-
ideas of many Democrats 111 IkjiIi Mouse
and Senate, just as his celebrated- tariff
message of 1.S7 did, but honest and
conscientious beiief S coi s.uciioiis 111-
every sentence of it. And tne opjiosi-
tion of what are known as Oliver 1 etuo-
crats is more apparent than real, foi
they all agree w ith the President s recom
mendation for the reM-al of the silver
purchasing clause of the rsicrman law.
only differing as to w hat shall In- sub
stituted. The message recommends the
retieal ami leavts the question of a sub
stitute to the wisdom of Coiigicss, and
nine-tenths of the Democrats are certain
that the recommendation as to rejieal
will U' followed, am! that other financial
legislation, which will If equally satis
factory to the silver Democrats and to
Pn-sident Cleveland, will lc agreed upon
by the 1 fc-iiHH-rals in both 1 louse and Sen
ate and that the K-isitenl efforts of the
the Republicans to split the I ciin n-ratic
party on the silver question will fail.
Acting on the maxim quoted iu the
President's message "lie gives twice
who gives quickly" the Democrats in
the agreement to lake Up and decide the
silver question without wailing tor the
appointment of conunitlees and the
adoption of rules. It will I k-easy to
take the matter up. without an agree
ment, only a majority vote being re
quired, but if an agreement, can be
reached upon just what is to !e voted
upon and how nit'cli time is to l.e given
to discussion much time, will l saved
that would necessarily be wasted if no
agreement is made, to say nothing of
the possibility of endless lillibtisteiing.
The silver men have in caucus decided
to vote for the repeal a! the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law, if the bill for
its rejx'al provides for the free coinage
of silver on such a ratio as will provide
aud maintain the party ln-tween gold
and silver. The fact that no particular
ratio is mentioned is significant. It
means that the caucus of silver lemo
crats did not lelicve it jMissiole to suc
ceed in maintaining the present ratio of
lt to 1 and that they are willing to in
crease the ratio.
It is now claimed that a careful poll
of the House, made this week, shows a
majority of .'i." in favor of the repeal of
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
law. The Senate is more doubtful, and
it is much mere ditli.-ult to ascertain how
Senators whose positions are not clearly
defined will vote, but strong efforts are
now leing made to bring the lV-mo
cratie Senators together, and the indica
tions point to success. A caucus of
Democratic Senators this week apjoiiit
ed a committee of live Gorman, Raus
on Gray, Vorhets, and Blackburn to
consider and reoi t a plan with that end
in view. The Republicans unintention
ally, of course, added largely to the
probability of united Iemocralic action
in the Senate by their attempts to make
political capital, which were promptly
and projerly rebuked by Senator G.r
man, out of the present financial situa
tion. The Senate committee 011 Finance, of
which Senator Yoorhees is ehaiiiiian,
held its first lil-elilig xesteday. '1 lie
committee did not lack br buMn-ss, eith
er, as more than a score of linaiii i.il bilis
which have leen imr kIuci iI in the Sen
ate have lieen referred to that commit e.
The majority of this committee are bi
metalisls. but Some of the most promi
nent of them, including the chairman,
have declared their Iwlief in the viciotis
ii ess of the Sherman law and their will
ingness to vole for its unconditional re-x-al.
The Snate is naturally delilx rale
in all its actions, so it will mt le siirpis
ing if the Hoti.-e takes up the'silver ques
tion Ix-fore this committee reports a bill
to the Senate. The resolution of S-na-tor
I.odge, of force bill fame, directing
the committee to report a bill for the r
ieal of the Sherman law ami providing
that a vote should l- taken thereupon
on the 22, of this month . is only a bit
of Republican buncombe, and adoption
of then-solution would have surprised
no one more than its author.
The bitterest pill iu the President's
message, for Ihe Republicans to swallow,
was the statement that he xjH-eteil Con
gress to olx-y the will of the people and
proceed to reform the iniquitous tariff
as soon as the finances have been looked
after. Itecause the troubles brought
upon the country by Republican financial
legislation have so conspiciiosly forced
themselves Uxn public attention ofl-.it.
Republicans have allowed themselves lo
Ix-lleve that the McKinley law was t be
undisturlx'd by this Congress. They
know Ix'tter now, anil the knowledge
doesn't please them.

that three oflier Ixiys wen hunting

Oliver Invented and Gave to the
World the Chilled Plow.
vxLSwm OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are better
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows oa
the face of the globe.
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to trade
on the good name of the Oliver.
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
Once more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Vms,
South Bend, Indiana.
