Republican papers are circulating the lie that the Milesburg woolen mill, in this county, had shat down on account of the Mills bill. The truth is there is no woolen mill at Milesbury, Now let the same papers publish the following shut down item: The woolen mills at Oak Hall and at Potters Mills, this county, shutdown during the high tariff era, and long be fore the Mills bill was thought of, Why? because the tariff cut off cheap wool for successful eomputitiot, The northern Republicans pronounce the Mills bill 8 southern measure, while the southern Republicans denounce iy a8 a measure in the interest of the north, Hon. E. A.

CENTRE TARIFF AND WAGES. Col. Watterson made a good pointin his speech at Cooper Institute on Friday The Republicans call the exist. ing Tariff system an American system. But Colonel Watterson declared that “it is no more than it is German, or Turkish, for protection existd in all those conntries.” Italy, too, for it from which American or Russian, He might have added is in that sunny southland, our protected industries are now recruits many thousand every that go=called “American is carried toa ing so paupers month, this system,” more ridiculous extreme than here.

He said that no man but a lun~ atic would levy a taxon coal. “The tax of 75 cents a ton affects only Nova Scotia coal,” he said. “If it should be taken off Canada would take off her tax on our coal, and we could send to Canada, 5,000, 000 tons a year.” pay my la I went to Charles Potts, who has one of the largest tin houses in Philadelphia, and said: “Tell me, Mr, Potts, should tin be free?” “If any maa says that tin ought not to be free I would send him to an insane asylum,” he replied. “We don't make a ton of it. Why should our people pay $7,000,000 a year in taxes on it?” At AC LEAR STATEMENT The whole earnings of labor in the pro- tected industries only amount to $18 in the $100 of product. The average tariff tax is $47 in 8100. If foreign labor should be twice as cheap as our own la- bor, atax of $9 on the $100 would make good the difference in labor cost The remaining $38 in $100 is wrung from the earnings of workingmen, who receive no equivalent in wages or advantage, Itis this $38 of “protection for the sake of protection” that fills the pockets of the few and filches from the pockets of the many. a - James Kerr, our eandidate for oon gress, is one of the most respected citi zens of Clearfield county, as well as one of ita most prominent and useful busis ness men, Mr. Kerrisa friend of the laboring class, and an outspoken appo. nent of monopolisis and trusts, He is an advocate of lower taxes to relieve the burdens resting upon the farmer, me- PA., TH HIGH TARIFF RUINED AMERI( SHIPPING.

The an | swer most be found in the lack of broad | and comprehensive siatesmanship in Congress and in the Executive branches of the Government. Ther are, I happy to say, indications that ime portance of haying something done for the restoration of Americana shipping. Over-production in manufactures for the home demand, the want of foreign mar<| kets for the surplus, are awakening pub- lic actention in this direction. The party of the future will be that party which, comprehending the interests of the the lieves the people altogether from the burdens which a partial policy now im- poses. If protection is to be the continu: ed policy of the Government, ghip-build- ir g should be encouraged, and maritime interests protected, as well as manufact- urea, If restrictions are tobe removed, and taxation for revenue only is to be the policy, the shipping interest, largely relieved from the burdens now imposed upon it, with fair compensation to steam ships for carrying the mails, will take care of itastf. It will be a proud day for the United States when American ships share with those of other nations in the business of the seas, and the American flag is seen again in ports from which it has been long banished. On one point there should be accord between men of all parties: if by reason of the tariff or any other cause we cannot profitably build ships, we should not be prohibited from buying and putting them under our own flag. It is urged, I know, that the building of ships could not be a pro- fitable industry in the United States, even if the duty on all articles which are used in their construction and outfit were taken ofl, by reason of the cheaper labor on the other side of the Atlantic, If this were a fact, which I do not believe, what justification can there be for keep. ing on the statute book the law that pro- hibits citizens of the United States from buying foreign built ships and potting them under our own flag? If we cannot build ships, why should our citizens be prohibited from purchasing them?

What § Mates formidable wheat 8 now needed in the United and needed more than anything promote general prosperity, is a modification of our tariff as wil! facilitate exchanges with other countries, The protective policy must be abandon- ed. A revenue tariff we must have. Ab. solute free trade will be among the hings hoped for, but not to be gained until the people are prepared to support the Government by excise duties or by direct taxation. The Government is mainly to be supported as it was before the late civil war by a tax upon imports which, although the most insidious, and in some respects the most unequsl of all taxes, ie, as it has always been, the most popular, by reason of its being felt only indirectly by consumers. Much the larger part of the revenue required for the support of the Govern. ment and the payment of the national Jdebt, must be derived from duties upon imports, and it will, therefore, be im- possible so to reduce them that they will not be protective. A tariff for rev- enue which must necessarily be to some extent protective, is what is now requir« ed to increase and enlsrge the foreign markets for our variovs manufactured goods, and our agricultural productions. Without these markets, our great indus trial interests can never be permanently prosperons.

Among the hindrances to revivals may be men. tioned with emphasis the many unseriptural, un. seemly, and sometimes disgraceful methods re sorted 10 by churches to raise money. 1 speak of “flrs,” “fostivals” “basars” “sales” “broom. drills,” “reinbow parties,’ “yellow parties” “apron parties,’ and a “thousand and one” other abominations which ought not so much as be named among the children of God in this connec tion, In almost every city and town, where wo have gove preaching the word, and to conduct evangelistic services, we have found that these things have eaten the lite out of the church, and in general prostituted its society and organization to the end of fleshly lusts and covelonsnes, * * The justification for these things Is alleged to be the neces sity of rising money for the church and affording entertainment for the “young peo ple.” Led us look at these two justifications. 18t. The modern fair and bagar or wile and entertainment is, ae a matter of fact, a cloak for covetousness. In nine cases of ten where those fairs and festivals are held the people are abund. antly able to support the church by voluntary gifts, which is the true seriptaml method of pro- ceoding in this matter. The time spent in tke work of fair, the money invested in the purchase of articles sold, and the fact that thay are ex. pected to be purchased by the members of the oharch and congregation in whose behalf the sade or fair is wreanged, is proof positive that tiene Is not & lack of mesns In the church, It only proves that the people aro unwilling Wo sup by Affect, outand-out consecra- : irlends of Christ are 100 slingy and covelourness Wo make the neces that purpose, There nothing the whole courses of modern than the sprciacis of Chris canvassing the wn, going from to store and from shop Ww shop, begging hants and tradesioen Wo “contribute some- ing toward our fair.” 1f these christian women could hear the <u “not loud but deep.” and soe and hear the contemptuous sneers which fol. : ! iL after one of thelr begging visits, Id for very shame wash thelr hands of ¥ further participation in these shominstions i then to wit the moving shout a ling and smirking over yousg them up, like unwilling vie. y wares that they would not buy but and fisttery of fx “8 more humiliating iz P wWolnen shore mere £4 Res 0% 0 nese young ladies who nrist, are professed disciples of ( crowded roo i TREE ILg maldenly inEinoere mefu i that these things should be sf Christ and religion!
