Give Mr. Holt a good vote, he has been
a good servant of the people.
Why don’t the Republicans throw

The new Tarif.
The New York Herald has interviewed
a number of the big merchants of New
York on the effects of the tariff law, and
deducts the following conclusions, What
effect will the McKinley bill have on
trade? What clade of people will it ins
jure most ?
The questions are answered in other
columns by gentlemen who Inok at the
subject from a practical standpoint.
Mr. Denning says that the new tax will
have most effect on “the lower grades or
cheaper qualities, such as the poorer
classes require.” For example, the tariff
on woollen goods 18 out all proportion to
that on silks and yelvets and the costlier
grades of manufacture. In other words,
the protection principle, of which we
hear such beneficent accounts, discrimin-
ates so unfairly that it bears very lightly
on the wealthy and very heavily on the
wage earner. The goods which have
beretofore cost the laborer thirty cents
per yard will hereafter cost him forty.

An Able Speaker.
The voice of old Centre will be heard
in the anthracite region, next week and
week following, D, F, Fortney, esq., one
of our most effective stump speakers,
having been invited by chairman Kerr
to accompany Gov. Pattison and party
on their itineracy. Mr. Fortney is an
ardent Democrat and a favorite orator in
this and adjoining counties, where his
talents are frequently called into requis
sition when ano able speech is wanted,
built upon the soundest logic carrying
conviction to the hearer, Chairman
Kerr knew of Mr, Fortney’s ability as a
speaker and has put Centre countys war-
horse into the harness for the Lehigh

The Tariff Tax.
That McKinley prices are higher than
ordinary prices is illustrated by the new
prices of pearl buttons, clock springs, col-
lars and letter-copying books, On the
7th of October a New York importer
paid the duty on 1,773 gross of pearl but~
tons that cost him in Vienna $928. The
duty under the old law on this invoice
was $157. The additional duty imposed
by the McKinley tariff was 754, bringing
the total cost of the buttons to the im-
porter up to $1,239, The people who
buy pearl buttons must see that the new
law doubles the price, That the exclu-
sion of the cheap imported article by
preventing competition raises the price
of the home-made article is shown by
the new circular of Newell Bros, of
Bpringfield, Massachusetts announcing
their prices for ivory buttons. Till the
McKinley bill was passed their prices
were 25 to 30 cents for a certain number
but now they are 30, 33, 35 and 45 cents
for the same number. Under the old
law the wire of which clock-spriogs are
made was taxed three cents a pound but
nnder the new law the tax is $1.63 per
pound an outrageous addition to the
price. Boorum & Pease, of New York,
in a circular inform their customers that
they have been compelled to advance
their prices of letter-copying books at

mater made a violent attack upon Sena.
tor Rutan, on account of the letter writ
ten by the latter, which contained the
statement that Mr, Delamater received
$65,000 from the Standard oil company
for his efforts in defeating the Billingse
ley bill. He denounced the statement
as false and malicious and claimed that
he couid proveit to be so. In reply Mr,
Rutan has written another letter in
which he says:

the whole truth, now that he has forced
the way.”
Senator Rutan bas thus made
gue between himself and Mr,
a direct one, The latter cannot escape
from it, Mr. Rutan asserts that he holds
letters written by Delamater by which
he can prove the republican candidate
to be “a demagogue, a falsifier and the
holder of stolen goods,” Mr. Delamater,

goes all along the line. The manufactur.

congress to exclude foreign competition
by imposing almost prohibitory prices
on foreign goods, and congress vielded.
Now the people must pay the penalty in

It has taken the republican organs
four years $o discover that the sdminis
tration of Governor Pattison was a fail
ure, In January 1887, when Mr. Patti
son retired from office, every republican
paper in the state spoke very highly of
his administration, For iostance, the
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette said: “He
has given us one of the best administra
tions we have ever had, and has at sll
times acted from conscientious motives,
and with the best interests of the public
st heart.”
The Philadelphia Presse thought that
nothing could be said against Governor
Pattison's administration, while the In-
quirer, which is now so bitter against
vim, said that “nothing but the narrows
est partisan prejudice and bigotry would
deny it the credit of its integrity and
usefulness.” The Philadelphia North
American said: “If his sdministration
has not been brilliant, it bas beea bet-
ter; it has been safe,” while the partisan
Philadelphia Bulletin said:
Governor Pattison retires with the gen-
eral respect of citizens throughout the
state. His administration has been ads
mireble for freedom from the tricks of
political managers on the new establish+
ment of party supremacy. That he has
lost political supporters by such a course
can hardly be doubted, but on the other
band he Las gained friends and personal
admirers of the enduring ty pe.

America has been known in Europe
for four centuries as the “New World,”
but it looks as though this title would
hereafter be transferred to Africa, where
a veritable new world, vast and attract-

The ancient continent of Africa may
have been a stamping ground for mane
kind through as many ages as the an.
cient continent of America has been;
but as Columbus was one of the navigs
tors who opened up in Americas new
World for Europeans, so Stanley bas
been one of the pioneers in opening up
for them a new world in Africa. And
as America was seized by the govern.

centuries ago, 80 Africa is now being

made and the platform adopted by the
democratic state convention at Scranton,
His plea for harmony and a united sup

made in the most earnest and impressive

Several years ago Captain Morriz was
the republican candidate for county
treasurer in Crowford county. He is a
badly crippled veteran of the late war
and during the campaign he was com-
pelled to take his bed on account of his
wounds, While he was in bed George
Wallace Delamater, the present republis
can candidate for governor, went to him
and asked him whether, if elected, be
would deposit all the county funds in the
Delamater bank. Morris refused to
make promise, because if he did no he
could not take the oath of office without
committing perjury.
