Yankee io genuity, thrift and enterprise will take care ofthe howe market against all comers, EO TAI, From 1873 to 1880, under the hi:h protective tariff, the iron business of the United States languished as it never did before. For seven long years it was flat a flonnder. Ifa low tariff had been in existence during that period what a how! would have gone pp from the de- about “free trade” killing American industry.

Image it Their ticket will be good read backward or forward. TNT The Bellefonte Republican is laboring with all zeal to educate its readers up to the high tariff standsrd. But it seems to be labor spent in vain—people are think ing, and studying the question over, and the they do so, the more they think tariff reform is the right ides, and when the party nominates a gentleman like Gresham, for President, the Repub lican will keep quiet on the tariff busi. ness or ask its readers to “stick to the nominees” becanse he is ar much a tariff reformer as the Democrats. a ————— nore The Hantingdoin Journal has jnst cause to make the following remark: Another scallawag to whom we bave been sending the Journal for ten years bas sneaked off to Mifflin county with. out saying a word abot paying the $20 he owes us.. Some people might call it forgetfalness, bat we call it serous drelism of the worst kind, We have entered his name on the list of defranders. The Reporter bas such a scallawag oc” casicnally. We will print the names of the cheats hereafter, ER ADOT, President Cleveland uses the veto power freely, and deserves credit for puttiog an end to many congressional jobs. He lately vetoed a bill giving a pension to a friend of Senator Edmunds, also a bill allowing Boston to make a park out of Castle island, Boston harbor, which has been a pet project of Cons gressman Collins for three years. The veto of the bill to reimburse Mr. War: den hit Beoator Ingalls a severe blow Senator Cullom was the patron of the bill to relieve Major Bash, which the President vetoed. Congressman Pere xins, of Kansas, is one of the latest vic time, and a good deal of attention has been' given to the fact that the veto of the Allentown Public Building Bill was a body blow at Congressman Sowden, The veto of Postmaster Warden's was a severe blow to many postmasters. Sev. eral bills like the Warden bill are in Congress in various stages of legis! ation, There are too many senators and con- gressmen who have “pet schemes” for the advancement of their friends at the expense of the public pocket, and the President is deserving of unpartisan praise whenever he ends by his veto a puralent bill which wouldaid nobody but the direct beneficiary, | i CEN A LIBEL SUIT, Alec. M'Clure never feels so happy as when a characterless fellow finds it nec- essary to go into courtto keep up a ohar- which can't'be sustained outside, and snes him for libel, to obtain the ead deficiency he found it good for society and the commaonity to expose, The Times had a dozen or more of these de- sert dishes on band, at various times, bul the fellows always found that sort of vindication Jid not vindicate. Now the Reporter has a libel suit on hand. For years this community bas been disturbed by a little restless ele- ment io manifold ways, Its chief object of hatred has been the Reporter, whose editor could not be used to suit purposes which were not honorable and the gang never found smooth sailing in conse- quence and always met with disaster, Their tactics were to ruin us, by seeking to injure our business, attacking oor oredit, and originating all kinds of sland- erous stuff, but we did not find it neces sary to go into court fora vindication, for, altho we occasionally saw harmful resaits from this cowardly conduct, we bad such an abundance ofgood name that no court was needed to patch it up. For an occasioaal defence of our good name, credit and business, which have thus been persistently attacked in a cow- ardly and anderhanded way by these conspirators for over halfdozen years, we would let an occasional shot fly from our colams, much to the displeasore of the conspirators, who seemed to think we should submit to all their blows and then never say a word in reply. Cowards always act that way, and what man would have been as lenient as we have been under theee constant, bitter provo- cations ? Not one manly reader of the Reporter, Bat, to come toa point, one fellow, Wm. P.Shoop, has sued this paper for libel, claims to have suffered in character. Well, if any thing we did, took any of the article from him, we are sorry. Per. haps he stood #0 near the Gazette's blackguard battery that a shot from here caused a splinter to hit Mr. Shoop, and surely he would be to blame for getting into & dangerous place and such bad company. There cherished is joy now among these our well wishers. A libel suit the Reporter isa godsend for them, and 'o see us beheaded, or broken un the wheel, or at least a boarder on the hill is the prayer of each. Information was made by Sho wp bes fore Eeq.

Then ano- ther applied, but the justice closed the books. Soon a committee, at the head of which were Frank Blair, Esq. Gephart, and a few others, waitedon us st the rockerhoff, and asked permission to circulate our bond thro Bellefonte, and they would have Gov. Curtin, and three fourths of the town go on it. We raid the justice was inexorable and the book of honors was closed, The gang, over here, in the mean time, bad wonderful news, ss usual, over the Lewistown wire, and were glad, but the usual lie ran into a hole ia ten min -« utes, along with the liar.

The balance of trade is thrning against the United States owing. to the difficulties American farmers meet in exporting food products and offering them for sale in the free trade markets of Europe. Commenting on this, the Republican Chicago Tribune says: If the farmers are not given some re- lief they cannot be depended upon to hold the balance of trade in favor of the United States aad gold exports must set in, The protected manufacturer will do nothing and can do nothing to hold a trade balance in favor of this country so long as they are war-taxed on their raw materials and cannot enter foreign mark- ets on equal terms with British manufac turers, If the United States is to avoid ruinous drains of specie the farmer's cost of living must be reduced 80 as he can endare free trade competition and the maonfacturers must be put in condition to export their products If the farmers are to be overtaxed on everything they buy and compelled to sell their surplus produce at free trade rates, and Amer. ican maaofactarers continue carrying away to Europe and expending there in pleasare-seek ing tens of millions of mo nopoly bounty sequired in the United States, the balance of trade will ran per- munently agaiost this country which mast soon be depleted of its precious metals, . President Cleveland's tariff reform message and the certainty of the passage of the Mills tariff reduction bill by eon- uress has gradually tended to stop strikes and men in all sections are hopefully re turning to work.

Louis, June 4-—Delegates, alter- nates, political clubs and politicians of high and low degree, arrived thick and fast to-day, and 8t. Louis has assumed the crowded condition that Is always us- nal during the national convention, As early as 7 o'clock this morning the Uns ion depot was packed, and all during the morning at intervals of five and ten min- nies regular and special trains have been coming in and emptying their loads of people, who come to take part in the fray.

On Sunday night the supporters of Governor Gray were full of hope, bat to-night they ad- mit to their confidential friends that the Thurman cyclone is sweeping everything before it. They keep up a show of fight during the day, calling on the New York and other delegations and reposting the speeches which were made to the Calis fornians, I'be Tharman breeze developed into a tornado this morning when York city delegations, the county dem- ocraco and Tammany marched the streets shouting for Thurman, With in haif ao boar the Tammany men were Pa on § 10 busily engaged in helping their coast friends pin red bandanas coats of all the muititnde., These and the nomination of Thurman is ceded on every side, At the meeting of the delegation this ex-Congressman Charles E, chairman. By that doyle withdrawn the representative Pennsylvania upon the commit resolutions, Ex-Congressman William T. Matchler was given the place on tha committee, Jodge Urvishas stituted for ex-State Chairman Hensel upon the committee on credentiale. Con. gressman Scott advocated the nomina- tion of Thurman for vice president, and the sentiment was so general in that di rection that Chairman Boyle was ine structed to cast the vote of the state as a unit for Cleveland and Thurman. When thisaction became known among the delegates from other states, it was gen- erally agreed that the vice presidential issue was definitely settled. and that Thurman would be given second place on the ticket. While the Pennsylvanians Were in session 8 messenger from the Indiana delegation was announced, and upon being admitted requested that a hearing be accorded the representatives from the latter state. The Pennsylvania delegates acceeded to the request, and ex-Attorney General Cassidy was depu- ted toinform the Indianians that they would be received. Alternate Charles P. Donnelly said, in reference to the matter: “We don't know what the Indi ana people want, but we thought it bes to hear what they have to sey. Penn- sylvania, however, wil: be for Thurman " An effort is being made to indoce Lewis C. Cassidy, who is one of the dele gates at-large from Pennsylvania, to s- cond the nomination of Cleveland for a second term as president, Thedelegates from the Keystone state think that Pennsylvania st.ould perform that grace fal act. Mr, Cassidy as yet has not nig nified his purpose. Modesty is ascribed as the cause of his hesitation.
