The Senate amendment taking raw sugar off the free list and imposing a 40 per cent. ad valorem duty upon it {equivalent to about one cent a pound) will add between thirty and forty million dollars to the revenue. This money is needed to meet fixed expen- diture; and if the duty shall be allow- ed to stand the necessity for raising money by a tax on incomes will have been obviated. The one-eighth of a cent a pound specific duty on refined sugar is a present of 12} cents per 100 pounds to the Sugar Trust. satisfaction to be derived from this feature of the Senate amendment is the fact that the trust will get only 12} cents per 100 pounds where before it received 50 cents per hundred under the provisions of the McKinley act. Its license to rob consumers has been cut down 75 per cent. It is a matter of profound regret to the Democratic party that it will not be able to carry out to the letter the tariff’ policy indicated in its platform and approved by the people; but in whatever shape the Tariff bill shall fl- it will certainly be a long step in the right direction, tematic and thorough reform, but they ly. er —————— SUGAR is sweet, but troublesome, in a tariff point ot view.

The la- than the ts fp A Ans THE WILSON BILL The tariff bill is under good head- way in the Senate now, and will pass within a few days. The bill does not cut down the rates as low as Democrats desire, but it goes below the McKinley bill, hence so far it better. Conflicting interests stood in the way of putting more ar- ticles on the free list, but a beginning has been made, and further relief from tariff taxation may come later on. Tariff reform is what the people de manded in the overwhelming election of Cleveland, and the people must have it. Cleveland is sound upon the tariff, but a few Senators stand in the way of making it as thorough as Mr. Cleveland and his party desire it. is ol Ix SOME quarters they are stiil talk- a& the next Republican candidate for President, in case he gets 200,000 ma- jority for Governor. As to the major- ity, the Democrats may make op their minds not to have it run up to that pint. EE .-e lll LL Tue convention on Tuesday was em- inently harmonious; the absence of ri- valries for places, avoided bitter con- tests, hence results were reached with- out any trouble. The ticket should create any amount of enthusiasm. etsrem—thanil a ————————— SINGERLY FOR GOVERNOR, Our county convention passed a res olution in favor of editor William M. Singerly, for governor against Has tings. The CENTRE REPORTER was the first paper in the state to propose Col. Bingerly for governor, and we are pleased that our suggestion is endors ed by the county convention, and that Centre thereby gains the honor of be ing the first county in the state to pro- nounce in favor of SBingerly. —— A ANI Durina the most peaceful years the world has 3,7000,000 soldiers, who are withdrawn from productive occupa- tions to pose as soldiers. The pay, equipments, food and clothing of these men cost the world's taxpayers nearly $8,000,000 u day. The United States has a far smaller army than any other nation of equal population. Tue next thing on the program is for the Republicans to match the Dem. ocratic local ticket, and then see them selves go up. QuAY and the machine will not take a lively interest in having Hastings ty go too high, for fear they will loose foot-hold. The idea of running Gen. Hastings for president, is not at all a Quay invention, for no Dan can be allowed to be greater than Don and ROBERT M. FOSTER. The nomination of Mr. Foster for Assembly is a deserved recognition of an old Democratic family from which our gallant young Democratic friend hails. Bob is one of the most genial fellows you can meet, and he bears as clean a character as any man in the county. As a Democrat he has no faults, he was always true to the tick- et and the principles of the party. We are proud in having so good a nominee and we bespeak for him a good vote—he possesses all the needed qualifications for the position. ri Tue efforts of the Republican news- papers to involve Secretary Carlisle in the sugar scandal has fallen flat. Mr. Carlisle has positively denied the slan- der, while the paper that made the charge is now endeavoring to wriggle out of its hole by asking the people to believe its silly tale which it now ac- knowledges was based on merely an inference. ————— AA A Ex-sPEAKER Reed has a grievance. He cannot draw his pay without sign- ing a certificate that he has been pres- it. To a prospective candidate for the Presidency the thought that he must submit himself to the operation of a rule involves hu- miliation. Yet it is strictly business; ly, a tremendous stickler for business methods in Congress. AA ———. SO, THE TARIFF IS A TAX. The discussion of the sugar schedule has brought the high tariff’ organs to a distinct acknowledgment of the fol- adelphia Times, which they have 1. The tarifl'is a tax. The amount of the duty is added by the consumer. > 3. A protective duty operates to the advantage of the manufacturer only, Some of these organs are now thoroughly convinced of the iniquity of a protective tariff that they lay down the further proposition that to vote for a protective duty is presump- tive evidence of bad motives—bribery, speculation or political obligations. As the McKinley tariff, which was based entirely upon the protective pol- icy, was supported by all the Republi- can members of Congress, we regard this assumption as too sweeping, al- though one or other of these motives was doubtless influential in portions of that act. Many advocates of protection are unquestionably sincere, but they have generally defended the policy by some such ingenious theory as that “the foreigner paid the tax,” or that duties did not increase prices. Rince these 80 and since the McKinley tariff has neither raised wages nor provided suf- ficient revenue, it will be interesting to see upon what basis it will be de- fended now, if defended at all. No wonder Mr. Reed is casting an anchor to windward and preparing to unload the tariff issue, ————————— PETITIONS are in circulation over the state—to be presented to the next asking “for the enactment hh measures as may result in the collection of all public revenues—state, and municipal-- from the value of land, irrespective of improvements in or on it, and for the levied for this purpose.” The petitions are circulated under the auspices of the single tax league of New York and it is proposed that they shall be signed by both men and women. A A ——— ALL the Demoeratic nominations on Tuesday, were made unanimous—this is ax it should be, and we trust harmo- ny is at the bottom of it. Later on in the eampaign the REPORTER will give the ticket its usual attention, as our nominarions were made about two months earlier than heretofore. snes i— of ws i WHEN a southern member of Con- gress asks for “protection” he is a “mendicant” in the eyes of Senator Hale, of Maine. Mr. Hale's contempt for mendicants is almost equal to his senile admiration for the purse-proud tariff barons, who beg nothing, but simply demand the delivery of the goods which they have paid for in sub scriptions to campaign funds, Tue time must come, if it have not now arived, when the assumption that any body of dissatisfied workingmen ean prevent others from working, or ean interfere with the operation of railways, factories or other lawful business without remedy on the part of the sufferers or repression upon the part of the State, must be settled once for all. A government by mobs is not the kind of government we pay for. AA A MPAA AAAI, Iv General Hastings is elected gov- ernor, will that insure the manufac- ture enough of money to make $40 per head for every man, woman and child in the land, as per the Hastings plat- form? If so, then how is each feller, male and female, to get his share of The platform is dumb upon and dumb is the voter who THE p JORNETOWS Tribune intimates that the coal strike leaders are work- ing in the interest of some of the coal operators, and if this is true the con- duct of certain officials is nothing short of criminal. An investigation might expose the real cause of the great strike and bring the agitators forward into the proper light where the miners might see how they are played for a price. The Zribune charg- es that thousands of tons of slack, for which the operators could find no sale, are now disposed of to the railroads and furnaces at enormous figures, This slack is sold at $2.50 the ton, while the contract price for the run of the bank before the strike was never over 90 cents. West Virginia soft coal operators not in the strike get $1.90 the ton at the tipple for coal that for- merly sold at 60 cents, The advan- tage is something stupendous, and it Is quite easy to explain why some op- erators hold certain strike leaders in their pay to keep the mining business going as it is now being worked.

The weather was most favorable for Just such an occasion as this and about 400 people gathered on the old home- stead in response to invitations sent out. All parts of the county were rep- resented. About sixteen tents had been erect ed, and under this canvas the tables were spread. Addresses were made by the guests present and the occasion was enlivened by a chorus of young ladies who rendered delightful music. The principal event was the reading of the family history. The occasion was a family reunion and members of the family distant from here came to attend. ef re —————— Through Centre Hall, The Bellefonte bicycle club has re- ceived word from the Johnstown bicy- that they would come to Bellefonte next Saturday evening It hundred bicy- They wily pass through Centre Hall on their way down. is probable nearly one ———————— A HEA Probable Game.
