SPANGLER FOR ASSEMBLY, JOHN T. McCORMICK. J. H, HOLT FOR CORONER, JAMES NEFF, M, D. FOR JURY COMMISSIONER, GEORGE BOWER. L. SPANGLER. Centre county Democrats, in their convention, on Tuesday, instructed for J. L. Spangler, for congress. Jack can feel proud of this action, and if heisas fortunate in the district, then he will be certain to #11 the seat which is now mis- represented by Mr. Patton. Mr. Spang- ler has done some good work for his party, and it is giving him fit recognition for it. The chances of J. L. Spangler getling the district nomination for Congress are not uncertain. There is some doubt as to Hall's being a candidate, in Elk, in which event the chances for Centre county getting it would be greatly im- proved. J.T. M'CORMICK John M'Cormick, one of the Demo- cratic nominees for Assembly, is a ster ling and intelligent young Democrat, of unimpeachable character. He comes from the good old Democratic stock of M’Cormicks, who have fought Democrat- ic battles in this county for halfa cens tury, and John is as true to the good old Jeffersonian Democracy as were his an- cestors. The M'Cormicks never held of- fice, and this is the first recognition that has been given in that direction. Let each Democrat give Jolin M'Cormick his vote. J. H. HOLT This gentleman was placed in nomi- nation as one of the Democratic candi- dates for assembly. Mr. Holt isan old Democratic war horse, known all over the county as a man of integrity and honor. Mr. Holt is well posted on state affairs and more especially with the ins terests of ourcounty. He has been true to his party, altho defeated a number of times for nomination. He never sulked but always rolled up his sleeves for the ticket. Democrats owe him their hearty, uni. ted support, and he will get it too, Every Democrat is pleased with the work of Tuesday's convention, and the verdiet is, the best men were nominated, Democrats, organize, and the connty wil] be carried by a handsome majority, An unsuspecting Cumberland county man was fleeced out of $2,000, the other day by bunco steerers. Between the bunco steerers, Bohemian oats men and the monopoly taxes of the g. o.p. the lot of the agriculturist is certainly not a happy one. Gregg township instrocted for Samuel J. Herring, for Assemby, ater his posi. tive refusal to be a candidate. He wrote no letters, and buttonholed no one on the ‘ly for support. This isa fact, and we mention it in justice to Mr. Herring, to head off misrepresentation. Several Earopean newspapers have published the statement that the Pope, foreseeing that his departure from Rome is inevitable, owing to the persistent hos- tility of the Italian Government, has opened negotiations looking to the pars chase of an island in the Mediterranean Sea pear the French coast, The Republicans may be in business like that spoken of below, having brot in grandpa Harrison. A gentleman who bas jost retarned from an extended foreign tour says there is a great deal of fraud in the mummy business, Persons purchasing mammies, of course, like to get them well preser- ed and oatoral looking ss possible, and as those found are generally in a more or less dilapidated condition, venders have engaged in the business of manu facturing bogus mummies. They bar. gain with tramps, beggars and such peo ple for their defunct carcasses, paying therefore a sum sufficient to make their remaining days short and sweet, These fellows are preserved and pickled, and then smoked till they are good imitations of the genuine mummy, Whole rows of these articles can be seen in smoke hou- ses at once. When safficiently dry, they are wrapped in mummy cloth and sold, to Americans chiefly, bringing a high price. WOOL. When the commissioners of Centre conuty levy a taxof $20 to $25,000, a general howl goes up-—yet at the same time we are paying a tax in this county of about two hundred thousand dollars on wool and woolens! This tax tle Democrats propose to remove, If you favor the the idea, vote for Cleveland. The Democrats in congress have put wool upon the free list, and the Repub- licans have made so much fuss about it that they seem to think a good deal more of a sheep than they do of a man, There is not near enough wool grown in this country to clothe our people. We grow 265,000,000 pounds a year. It re- quires 600,000,000 pounds of wool to make clothing for the people. The du- ties fixed by the republican party are so high that nearly all wools are kept out excep! the coarse carpet wools, and they complain that they are not high enough. The result is that a great deal of shoddy is used in the manufacture of the wool- en cloth which the workingman wears— one man telling that the same shoddy had come back tothe factory the fifth time to be worked over, To day 844,000, 000 worth of woolen goods is imported into this country every year, and the duties thereon average nearly 58 per cent. If wool were admitted free of duty, these woolen goods could be manufac. tured so cheaply in this country that the imports would drop off from lack of de- mand, and, before long we would be ex- porting to foreign markets, Thousands of laborers would be given remunerative employment by these new industries, and the nation would be benefitted accord ingly. The Democratic party believes in the people of the United States and bes lieves that the creation of 100,000 new wageworkers is a good thing for the pa~ tion. “Hard and soft soap and soap grease are also made cheap for the people. We used to hear agood deal about “soap” from republican politicians, particularly at a certain famous dinner to Dorsey in 1580, when the republican vice-president elect joked about the “soap” which car- ried Indiana. But “soap” won't save them this year. Thurman, with bis old red bandanas, will get away with Indiana. — GLADSTONE ON PROTECTION. I will say this, that as long a8 America adheres to the protective system our commercial primacy is secure, Nothing in the world can wrest it from you while America continues to fetter her own strong hands and arms, and with these fettered arms is content to compete with you, who are free, in neutral markets, And as long a8 America follows the docs trines now known as those of fair trade, you are perfectly safe, and yon need not allow,any of you, even your lightest slumbers, to be disturbed by the fear that America will take from you your commercial primacy. elites Pittsburg monopolists do grow rich out of the people's money. There is Mr. Carnegie, who owns a castle in Scots land and goes on coaching tours through Great Britain. Jarrett's tin plate factory would be an “infant industry,” I suppose, and therefore must be protected. There are too many such infants sucking the life blood of the nation. It istime to wean them. In 1816 Henry Clay eaid that the Infant indostries would only need three years of protection; then he wanted nine, but that is the longest time he ever asked for. Almost three fourths of a century has gone by and these in- fant indostries are still “Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms.” In Centre county we have, out of a population of about 38,000, at least 35,000 who require an average of at least $10 worth of woolen goods annually, a total of $350,000, The tariff, or tax, on this is something like $200,000 paid yearly by the people of our county, enough to pay for a'l the sheep and wool raised, three times over. The Democrats propose to free the people of oor county of this $200,000 tax on wool and woolens by puttiog wool on the free list. How fool. ish that we should pay so enormous a tax because there are a few sheep in the county. is There are woolen manufacturers yet living who remember that the first seri. ous attempt in this country to protect our woolen industries by an import tax was met by England with the repeal of her own tariff on raw wool. And they remember, too, that without reducing wages one shilling England continued wo supply this country with a large portion of its woolen goods. But when we make raw wool free, what will England do then, poor thing, to hold onto her trade ? A dollar a day and two meals may be enough for any workingman, as candi- date Harrison says, but we venture to say that few workingmen will vote for for such a reduction of meals. «The Reronrzn at the low price of 20 cents, cash, from now to the close of the campaign. HALL. PA. ANOTHER FREE WOOL ADVOCATE, The latest utterance on the subject of free much to the point. Itismade by E. G. Banford, a woolen manufactarer of Conn. Briefly, Mr, Sanford wool wiil boom the woolen manufactur ing business. His mills raw wool is ope very jridgepart, says free consume Cape town $000. The duty is $500, or about $3,000 a week, This, severe burden, and be is able to ran works only by fits and starts, but he says, is a his with 0 days al free raw wool he could run cheaper. Before the war, says, his business prospered with pr®®ically free raw wool, and a duty of 20 per cent, raw Farther, on woolen goods, The tariff on killed his export trade in bats, he says free wool would raise of wool grown in this country, imported wool is used mixed with American wool This is testimony from good and is in keep history of the which has never prospered or greatly except for a when the i 1 the after ony ing with the fi wool trade in thiscou increased with a heavy tariff on raw "3031 118} Ol, few years after the nflation of tas lapse in 1873.

Noel Humpbreys, in 1888, showed that the ro duction of the mean death rate from a lit tie over 22 to about 20 per 1,000, meant an addition of two years to the mean duration of life of every male, and of three and a half years to that of every fomale. The farther doath rate reduction to 10.3, which wag boen achieved since 1854, means spothe Jr proportionate increase of the duration of lives, From 1880 180 the death rate of Liverpool was 83 per 1,000, It is now 28.9 per 1,000.
