A Republican has flopped to Cleveland. Charles F. Knight, of the North Bide, who has been a life-long Re- publican, has declared for the Democrat ic ticket. The position of the party on the tariff question be says, has brought him to the fold. He favors the Demo cratic idea of lower tax on food and loth: RS IIT Last week Judge Simonton, of Harris burg, gave a decision in the tax collector He declared the act of 1885 pro~ viding for the election of tax collectors, unconstitutional, The cas: was brought up by County Solicitor Fred M.

The announcement made by these gentlemen has greatly agitated the Republican politicians, ET BS TTI SW. The annnal strike among the workes in the iron mills has come again, and 100,000 men are thrown out of employ- ment, so we are informed, and all the millsare closed. The yearly recurrence of thisstate of affairs is a mystery to many; but it is simple enough, Work in the irom mills is almost unendurable in the very hot months, and the men are always glad ofa pretext to quit, The employers ara always glad to give them a pretext and use the time in cleaning out furnaces and repairing. It is only a ronndabout away of declaring a two months’ vacation. The G. O. P. which for years has been trying to pose as the great morality movement finds itself in another diffi. culty. But a short time ago in order to catch a portion of the temperance vote in this state and in the city of Philadel phia they antagonized the liquor inter. ests. In the state a high license bill was passed aod signed, by the Republican legislature and Gov, Beaver. In Philadelphia as a last hope of elect ing a republican sheriff the ery of mos rality was raised to catch the drifting temperance yote and gain the day. This scheme was an insult to the temperance people and its result was a signal failure, These same pretending guardians of society, and moral advocates come be. fore the people as the representatives of the same Republican morality party and advocate the most pernicious measures: free rum free whisky, and high taxes on food and tie necessaries of life. Ob, the inconsistency and mockery of these - — FACIURER FOR TARIFF REFORM Benjamin C. Potts, the republican woolen manufacturer of Media, this state, in spite of the influence brought to bear upon him, will argue the tariff question with Judge Broomall this week. Mr. Potts, who formerly was a republi- can, has been converted to the demos cratic party by its position on the tariff, He believes in the admission of raw ma- terials, duty free; and being a manufac turer of woolen articles will base his ar guments purely upon practical knowls edee obtained as such, Judge Broomall 1s one of ths ablest republican speakers in that section of the state and will devote his efforts to sustaining the republican idea of a high tariff. As has already been stated Mr. Potts challenged Judge Broomall to de- bate the tariff question, and immediate- ly an effort was made by influential re~ publicans “to shat him up.” People who are interested in the reduction of the oppressive tariff duties and have the welfare of the country at heart are to he silenced by monopolists, and Mr. Potts will explain why, a8 a republican, he is in favor of the democratic doctrine on the subject of the tariff, STILL COMING OVER. . Owen G. Lovejoy, of Princeton, Ill, a son of the Owen Lovejoy of anti-slavery fame, who has never voted a democratic ticket, is now an open and avowed sup- porter of Cleveland and Thurman and of the democratic revenue reform poli ey. “The Brooklyn Republican Cinb since its formation,” says the Eagle, “has ccn~ ferred the honor of presiding over its deliberations on four gentlemen, name- ly, the Hon. Seth Low, Mr. Horace E Demiog, Mr. William H. Nichols and Mr. William H. Williams. Two of the four Messrs. Deming snd Nichols, are cordial and outspoken advocates of Pres ident Cleveland's re-election. Ex-May- or Low, a life-long republican, has for- mally announced his opposition to the Chicago ticket. William Weihe, of Pittsburg, who has been announced as a convert to Harris son, has written a |< ter in which he de. nies the statement and adds that his friends need have no fear that be will join the republican party. Mr. Weibe is president of the Amalgamated Associa tion of iron and steel workers. In Indiana, the Evansville Post, a- German Republican paper, and the Daily Bulletin, the official Republican paper of Randolph county, are out in opposition to General Harrison. A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR FOR OLEVELAND. The latest accession to the ranks of tariff reform is Judge Frank T. Reid, a leading republican and the republican nominee for governor of Tennessee foor years ago, when the republican ticket received the largest vote it ever received in Tennessee. In reply to the question, “Is it true that you intend to support Mr. Cleveland in the pending presiden tial campaign ?"” the judge answered in the affirmative. “Will you take the stdmp to explain your allegiance to the republican party?” “Whether I shall take the stump daring this canvass will depend on circumstances,” replied Jodge Reid. “I still believe in the ereed of the republican party, with the exception that I no longer believe in the doctrine of a protective tariff, and as that is the distinctive, if not the sole, issue in the present canvass I think it my daty to vote against the party that maintains it” FREE WHISKEY OR FREE WOOL ? Which shall it be, voters, free whiskey or free wool?—free whiskey or free su. gar?—free whiskey or free lumber? The issue is made up to be decided in November—which will ye have? The republican party hrough its national convention declares for free rum, and the voters are asked to ratify its decision in favor of taking the tax off whiskey, and letting the price down to thirty cents a gallon, Rom! Woe all know what rum is and the harm it does. We all know how it debauches men, young and old, and the misery it causes. What does the repub- lican party care for this? Nothing! To win the election, it would “wear the liv. ery of Heaven to serve the devil in.” While the republican party declares for free rum, that men may get drunk cheaply, it calls for a high tax on wool, an article that enters into the consamp- tion of every family in the land, and especially the family of the laboring man. Cheap ram and dear woolen goods This is the cry of the republican party, and, if it wins, will be the corner of its administrative policy. Which will ye have, voters? Cheap rum that your sons may the more easily become drunkards, or cheaper clothing to cover their bodies? The democrats are for free wool the publicans for free whiskey, > WOOL NOW ON THE FREE LIST, A TEST VOTE ON THE MILLS BILL SHOWS A LARGE MAJORITY, Washington, July 16.—The house in committee of the whole resumed the de bate on the tariff this morning, The free wool clause was discussed till 1 p. m., and then by a vote of 102 yeas to 120 noes, the house refused to slrike wool from the free list. October 1, 1888, was fixed asthe date on which the free wool section should go into effect. The cussion of the woolen schedule was cone tinued and after a slight change in the carpet and carpeting clauses the woolen schedule was finished and January 1, 1880 fixed as the date on which it should go into effect, Mr. Sowden, of Pennsyi- vania, and Mr. Wilkins and Mr. Foran, of Ohio, were the only democrats voting in the affirmative, while Mr. Anderson, of Towa, voted in the negative, This fin. ished the woolen schedule. The amend ment excluding convict made goods was rejected, On motion of Mr. Mills the] amendment was adopted, fixing October I, 1888 as the date upon which the re. peal of the taxes on manufactured chews ing tobacco, smoking tobacco and snuff, shall go into effect. Pending the vote on Mr. Bowden's amendment, abolishing the fax on spirits distilled from apples peaches and other fruits, the house ad- journed, The senate to day joint resolution electing ranft one of the managers of the nation | al soldier's home to fill » vacancy.

He now believes its consideration ean be finished within two days. ent intention to defer taking the vote until Satorday. — - final} DEFECTION AGAINST HARRISON.| The sense of disappointment among)! This indignation, while not general, is) nevertheless sufficiently positive arouse some alarm among local The most prominent defections so far are | ly Bulletin. The Post is a represestative organ of the German people, and will antagonize Harrison on account of tems perance views, The Bulletin is the county organ of the Republicans, and an indignant leader this afternoon declares that Harrison's nomination was whol'y unexpected and fell like a wet blanket upon Republicans of southern Indiana. It then says “the probabilities are that he will be beaten in his own Btate by 10000 votes.” These defections are supplemented by many individoal ones, some on account of the candidate, and others on account of the unyielding tariff plank of the plat- form. The entire absence of enthusiasm and no attempt at a ratification are ad. ditional evidences of the disgruptied state of feeling, A ATS A CLEAR EXPOBITION OF HOW THE TARIFF DEALS WITH THEM, Farmer Simple lived or a mountain which afforded excellent pasturage for cattle, and in the small valleys he cut an abundance of grass to feed them dur- ing the winter. The soil was hard to till, and he could pot raise grain without great labor, Farmer Grub lived on rich bottom land, peculiarly adapted to the produc. tion of corn. He could raise on an acre twice as much as his neighbor Simple, and with Jess labor, The neighbors lived for years in great comfort and harmony, Bimple exchang- ing his cattle for Grab’s corn, and both were getting rich, One day Farmer Simple said to his boys, (and he had four of them,) “I have been thinking it would be better for us to grow our own corn and save the cattle we now give for it. We shall then have plenty of work and be more indepen- “Father,” said John, “I think we “How 80,” said Bimple “A good cow in worth $24, and corn is worth 80 cents a bushel, For one cow we can get 30 bushels of corn, and we can our hard land.

Iam in favor of ‘home in- “So am I, Father,” said John, “but I want to make home indost-y as profita- If by selling cattle to with the same "abor on our own, I think we had better stick to raising cattle.” “I don't know how it is,” said Simple, “Why don't you give Mr. Grab 40 rorn, which would be better” “How, you blockhead, give a man more “You might as well do it voluntarily as 0 got the Legislature to compd you to do “How you talk, John,” said the old So he petitioned the legislature to im- He still found it cheaper to buy corn of his neighbor Says John to his father one day,"don’t “How 80 7” said Simple, “I ses no such “When corn was 80 cents a bashel two “That is because the tax is not high Sare enough, he got the legislature to - a - to get back the tribute he pays to his lord and master. Labor has no protec tion, I believe, farther, that no govern: ment has the right to tax one class to benefit another, and as the present tariff! accomplishes that, I am opposed to it.

His best pasture lands were plow- ed up to raise corn upon, the number of his cattle greatly redaced, and what he bad to sell were no longer bought at the same good price; for neighbor Grab, not being able to exchange his corn for cat. tle, or find purchasers for it at that high price, was compelled to lay down hie fields in grass and raise his own meat. Farmer Simple and his boys had plenty of “home industry,” and “well protect ed,” too, but instead of getting richer ev- ery year, as formerly under the system of fice Sade ah Pop peighbors, Lie could scarcely keep ouse in repair or fortable clothing for his wife com! and children. Farmer Simple was a HIGH TARIFF MAN. A ———— SCOTT ON THE SITUATION. Congressman William L. Scott, of Erie, was ove of the prominent Demo- publican national committee from a dis- tance.

Chicago, July 17.—By bold, timely action, Inspector Bonfleld this morning probably saved the lives of himseif and Judges Gary and Grinnell. In a small frame house in the vicinity of Ashland avenue, and Thirty-thind street were found twelve dynamite bombs, a revolver and a knife, and as the owner of the ar- ticles stepped to the sidewalk, arrested by Bonfield in person and taken to the police station. Two other arrests were made later When questioned as to what the prisoners intended to Inspector Bonfield confined himself to saying: “There was a conspiracy of long stand- ing, and it was about to be put into execution. They intended to use the dynamite on Judge Gary, Judge Grinnel and myself.” The chief prisoner 18 an old time an- archist and was prominent in theschemes of Haymarket times, The officers next went to a house some distance away which it is supposed was No. 3016 Quinn street, Here two arresis were made and all three taken to the Central station, About twenty determined murderers were in the conspiracy, and they were, at a certain hour after midnight to night, to be at the homes of Grinnell, Gary, Bonfield, Frank Walker, General Stiles and others prominent in the prosecution of the anarchists, Dynamite was to be placed beneath the houses of these, and the powerful explosive was to be touch. ed off simultaneously. The board of trade was to be blown to the sky at the same time and a wdolesale reign of ter ror inaugurated. -——- THREE MORE DISGUSTED RE- PUBLICANS, A dispatch World, dated Goleonds, 111, July 13, say The republican anti-reform seems to have stuck in the many republicans in Southern Illinois. This is notably the case with W. 8 Mor- ris and Major A. D. Pierce, both promis nent and influential republicans of this place, and the latter chairman of the twentieth Illinois republican congress. ional committee. The former ina speech al a picnic in Massac county, Il, several days ago, gave his views regarding the Chicago platform in a forcible manner and said that he could never stand upon such.

Blaine, rep rt as Secretary of State in the Garfield administration, June 25 1881. On September 6, 1883, John Jarret, now demagoging for “protection,” testi. fied under oath before the United States Senate Committee on Education and La- bor as follows: “The wages paid the iron and steel workers (I refer to those who are con, nected with our organization, the Amal. gamated Associationof Irom and Steel Workers) are on the whole tolerably fair. I claim that this condition of things is simply the result of organiztionsa among the workingmen; in other words, that were there no organizations, wages would not beso high. * * * Now lwant to call the attention of the committee that asa rule in such mills as aré not controlled by an organization lower wages are paid than in those that are controlled by ua. “Early in January, when the ment of wages took place (in the Bethle- hem Iron Company's Works which had thrown ott the Amalgamated.) those men were not consulted at all, and their wa- ges were reduced in some instances as much as forty-eight per cent. These men were well paid previous to that re duction, which simply brought them to a rate of wages practically lower than that paid in England.” I A A FRUITLESS SEARCH FOR OIL AND GAS, s After expending $5,000 drilling a test well for gas and oil at Druys Rus Clin- od at a depth of 3885 fest.
