A few will cast their votes for the green- back scarecrow, Rynder, simply to bave fun at his expense. =" The Republican orstors of Centre and all other counties will keep as quiet as mice over the following The whole number of pills which passed both houses of con gress and sent to the president since March 4, 1885, to the close of the session just ended is 1821, of which 1567 bava become laws aod 254 have been disap- proved. If the figures were the reverse what a how! would go up ! special pension In 1867, when the high wool tariff wentioto effect, there were 5,117,148 sheep in the State of New York. Under the prostrating policy of taxiog imported woo's the number of sheep in that State has been reduced to 1,576,856, and the price of wool is lower than it has been in forty years. The same is true of Pennsylvania. In New York the number of sheep has diminished under high tariff mach more than in Pennsylvania. We have only about 1,500,000 sheep in the Empire State now, against 5,000,000 in 1867, when he high wool tariff was adopted, ; ———————————————— Our inquiry 88 to how much tariff the laborer gets upon manufactured articles, the Daily News answers that the laborer gets one balf and manufacturer the other haf. Well lets see: The labor ona ton of steel rails is 83.04—the tariff is $17, then why dou’s labor have the half of the $17 added to bis $3.04 to make it $11.547 The total cost of that ton of steel rails is not $7 —yet the manufacturer sells it at from $35 to $75 per ton. Now will the Daily News try 10 explain who pock- els the tariff along with a big sdditional profit 7 Nut the laborer, by a jug full, No portion of Mr. Mills’ speech was more effective than that in which he showed how duties levied not for revens ue but for protection exact vast sums from the people, in addition to what goes into the public treasury. For instance, a8 he shows, in order to get $62,000,000 of revenue from manafactarers of iron and steel and woolen and cotton goods, the people have to pay from §500,000,000 to $000,000,000. In other words, on three branches of manufacture the people pay $60,000,000 of revenue into the treasury and $560,000,000 to the manufactures as bounty. Is it any wonder that the people are groaning nnder the burden of taxation ? THE ROLL OF HONOR. HOW THE RIGHTS OF THE UNION VETER- ANS HAVE BEEN PROTECTED, Let every Union Soldier read for him- self the following facts furnished by the Official Report, issued September 1, 1888, by Genera! John C. Black, Commissions er of Pensions, and judge who has prov- ed by his acts to be the worthy soldier's best friend. These are not the stantiated statements of a campaign com unsub- mittee, seeking votes by misrepresenta- tions and forged stories which are an in- sult to the intelligence of every but are incontrovertable soldier, figures of cord from the Pension Burean.

Under Cleveland, 1258801 Union Veterans, whose righta have here- tofore gone unrecognized, bave been awarded their deserts and added to the “CoUuNTRY'S ROLL OF HONOR,” as he has aptly styled the pension list. Under Cleveland the pensioners of the country have received over TWENTY-TWO MILLION DOLLARS PER they reer received before, Under Cleveland more Veteran Union Soldiers have been appointed office than by any prezediog administration. Every pension agent is now a Veteran Union Roldier, except one, and that one is Marian Mulligan, the widow of the distinguished Irish soldier who fell at Winchester, Sigel, Rosecrans, Corse, Bragg, Black, Buell, McMahon, Franks lin, Bartlett, Anderson and Cochrane and thousands of their comrades have been brought into the pablic service, President Cleveland on his accession to office found that minrions of dollars that should have gone into the pocketls of the soldiers had been taken from them by pension claim agents. He clared that the pension fund was for the benefit of pensioners and not for claim agents, and determined to protect the soldiers in all their rights, He directed that the proceedings for obtaining pen. gions should be so simple and plain that every claimant could secure his rights without the employment of paid agents, These agents, enriched by the commis- gions heretofore wrung from the old soldiers, expecting no benefit to them in the Cleveland administration, are now seeking to deceive the veterans of the country and use them for their own selfs ish purposes, that they may again levy tax upon the pensioners reward. Una- bie tostand before the facts and figures of this administration as to general pen- sions, they attempt to deceive as to spec- ial pensions and to create the impression that all special pension acts would be vetoed. In President Cleveland's disposition of the special pension acts sent to him, he deserves the gratitude and thanks of ev- ery honest pensioner in the land. He has taken the position that all pension ers had rights, that they were not sup plicants fr favor, and that all should stand alike in the eyes of the Treasury, whether they happened to be of favored and influential surroundings or obacurs citizens in remote neighborhoods, In his judgement, general laws providing like pensions for like cases, should be pass ed, and there should be no favoritism, He has been determined, too, to preserve the pension list asa Roll of Honor, a teibnte of a grateful country to the valor and patriotism of ber soldiers, and to the been protected, and deserviog been YEAR more than to de- that end to protect it from unworthy This work, solely in the honest pensioners, has only been accomplished by the exami- membership. interest of the nation of the bill pressed through Cons gress by claim agents and friends of favored claimants, and where improper claims have been found the Grant precedent get by Gen has followed and the bills have been vetoed Here are te fact By Hayes By Garfield as y Cleveland in thro [he number of bills found defective and inconsistent with the general gion policy of the conniry were in three years, 191, and these were vetred, and every veto will be sustained if examined of whose interests the President has cons toed be better by the worthy soldiers the untry, Kept in view; 14 Were vi sigimants Wolk fare ] $17.249 Was saved 10 them Ly Lhd silos: 14 because the “de- the claimants were deserters from } Because the KHDAROLN, loned their sons when they and showed in tl lifetime; interest they were pass 1 by mistake, Calne isely slmliar acts Having been previons- {: 7 becanse the death cause glill pending anaer genera which the ciaimant was liks thecanse they fixe i no rate and m fees drawe from bon- id to and hy Grover d. who has fape | tations, wounciatl cowardly 3 n falsehools, to preserve their and the rights of all. a "RESTING TO FARM- ERS The suit of Thomas L, (iladden, liam McC.
