THE FARMER IS NOT IN IT.
tr
Plitspurg Post,
The elaim of some of the
tionists hereabouts that a protective
tariff “nourishes land values” is fairly
met in figures we get from board of
equalization. Every ten years
board, representing every senatorial
district of the State, meets to equalize
the assessment of lands, and separate
ly of the buildings thereon. The
port for 1890, published some months
ago, makes an eloquent and curious
showing when put alongside the
figures of 1880. The value of the farm
lands of the State of Ohio in 1880 was
$684,000,000, and in 1890 but $568,000,-
000, a decrease in ten years of §115,000,-
000; yet in these ten years the popula-
re-
over 14 per cent. Ohio is a manufactur-
creased greatly in number and import-
ance there in the past decade. Protec
tionksts Jogic would require that the
“home market’ thus brought to, the
farmer’s door should enhance the value
of his land Ly increasing the demand
for his produets, but the fact is that
while the protected manufactures have
increased the farm values have gone
down $115,000,000. Protection for the
higher prices it puts on the manufactur-
ed articles farmers buy.
Another fact. Whilé€geounty values
have been increasing the value of
city real estate in Ohio in 1880 was
$412,000,000, while in 1580 it was $§580,-
000,000 an increase of $128,000,000. The
tariff’ lords prefer, it seems, to spend in
the cities their income derived from
farmers.
What is true of Ohio is even more
is greater manufacturing State, and
The facts are that purely agricultural
lands have fallen away in value in a
greater proportion in this State than
in Ohlo, even when they are within
sight of the smoke of the great pro-
tected industries. Good farms do
command the prices now they did in
1850, although the population of the
State has much more than doubled.
The farmer for his surplus non-perish-
able products must meet Liverpool
at home compete with the west, where
are the cheapest land in Americans.
No intelligent class of people was ever
so many of the Pennsylvania farmers
protectionista, They have the home
market but at Liverpool prices. Pro-
tection is not in it until the farmer
goes tv buy his farm and household
sapplies; then he straightway rns
against a tax levied for some protected
«millionaire.

Republican protection means the
greatest good to the least number, It
will be observed that it differs materi-
ally from Jeffersonian Democracy,

O'Donnell, the leader of the Home-
stead strikers, has been refused bail,
and Is now held in jail to be tried for
murder. O'Donnell may now have
time to reflect over his eriminal folly,
and see visions of a long term in the
penitentiary before him.
a_i —
The high tariff shriekers are in a ri-
diculous quandery how to face the far
mers in this campaign. They pledged
great prosperity through high prices
that were to follow a high tariff. The
farmer has the high tariff but the
prices for his products never were low-
er.
Bellefonte and the Tariff,
Bellefonte has just such industries
ns high tariff was represented
dustries are as flat as a flounder altho
there has been a protective tariff’ for
twenty-five years ?
Will any high tariff business man of
Bellefonte explain why the life has
been knocked out of that town, why
its empty store rooms, why its idle
glass works, why its closed nail works,
why its abandoned car shops, why its
other industries are lagging ?
Come, you high protective tariff
men, get up and explain why your
high tariff has failed in its mission at
Bellefonte and all over the country.

MR. CLEVELAND'S ACCEPTANCE,
The letter of Grover Cleveland is like
the man—strong, straight forward,
| sensible, honest. It takes up the issues
| of the canvass in their order and de-
i ines his own and the Democratic
position upon them simply, clearly
and in a manner to leave no doubt in
| any candid mind as to his convictions
{ or his party's purpose.
Mr. Cleveland's of the
objects, powers and limitations of our
republican government is Jeffersonian
| in its philosophy and Jacksonian in
its expression. Whether treating of
| tariff’ reform—which he declares ‘is
still our purpose’ ,—or of Federal inter-
ference in elections, of the currency,
Oar
foreign relations, Mr. Cleveland is sim-
ply and sturdily Democratie.
The protection in which he believes
is ‘the protection of the people in the
exclusive use and enjoyment of their
property and earnings’ —a definition
which goes to the root of the question
statement
the civil service, individual liberty
at issue. Taxes “representing a diminu-
tion of the property rights of the peo-
i ple,” he declares, “are only justifiable
when laid collected for the purpose of
| maintaining our Government and
| furnishing the means for the accom-
{ plishment of its legitimate purposes
| and funetions.” The new Republican
{ dogma “that tariff taxation is justi-
fiable for the express and intent of
thereby promoting especial interests
and enterprises’ vigorously
demned as “clearly contrary to the
spirit of our Constitution.” The
is Con
ap
outlined with prefect clearness in a
manner entirely consistent with Mr.
| Cleveland's position hitherto. There
| is no dodging nor surrender in his let
ter. He relies upon the intelligence of
| the people to protect them from being
| “frightened by the spectre of impossi-
{ ble free trade.”
| Mr. Cleveland's treatment of the
currency question is wise and right. He
maintains that “the people are entitled
to sound and honest money, abundant
in volume to supply their business
needs,” and that with “every dollar of
i the same intrinsic or purchasing
| power’ both gold and silver “ean be
| safely utilized upon equal terms.”
The ex. President speaks a good word
| for elvil-service reform and for “our
worthy veteran soldiers and for the
| families of those who have died,” but
{ be rightly insists that “our pension
| roll should be a roll of honor, uncon-
taminated by ill-desert and unvitiated
| by demagogic use,
Several minor issues are briefly but
satisfactorily touched upon, and Mr.
Cleveland then refers confidently to
his record as a public servant for a fur-
ther understanding of his views and
his rule of conduct.
It is an admirable letter—the plain
talk of a plain American citizen to the
plain people. It is a sufficient cam-
paign document in itself for all who
honestly desire light as to Democratic
principles and purposes.—New York

Whether a pauper can vote was de-

last week. The application of Daniel
McConnell, an inmate of the alms-

been decided that paupers can vote.

“The greatest good to the greatest

that principle. From the foundation

The recent crusade of the Bellefonte
dominies against the Sunday papers,
has spread itself to the cigar stores,
and the ministers recently made the
rounds of town and requested all the
proprietors to abstain from selling the
Sunday. All but
one assented and upon him the wrath
of the community will be heaped. The
Sunday papers are still being sold and
the ministers threaten to have the vi-
olater of the old blue Bunday law ar-
rested. It is a senseless crusade agninst
the Sunday papers, and the promoter s
