The question is not whether Ameri
can manufacturers are to lose the home
market, but whether they are to be per
mitted by the enactment of liberal tarifl
laws to find sale for their surplus pro-
ducts in markets now controlled by for-
eign nations on account of the illibersl
character of our tariff laws. Yankee io
genuity, thrift and enterprise will take

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

about “free trade” killing

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.

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,

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

Over $6,050 000 of goid has been ex.
ported to Earope in the last fortnight
and the outflow still continues. 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.
