DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL
FERENCE.
CON-
The Democratic Congressional con-
ference which was held at Ridgeway
last week, did two things—one was
wrong, the other was right.
The nomination of Aaron Williams,
of this county, for Congress, was right.
He is a straight Democrat, has been a
worker in the party, and is conversant
with public affairs, and will, no doubt,
represent the people of his district
faithfully.
The other thing done, the setting
aside of the rule of Centre and Clear-
field counties giving the party its rep-
resentation in conference according to
its strength—known as the Orvis rule
—was ignored, and these two large
counties which furnish the Democrat-
ic vote of the district, except a small
fraction, were called upon to bow to
the little counties of Forest and Elk,
with a little over 500 votes apiece,
while the counties of Centre and Clear-
field roll up several thousands of
votes each.
At the last conference held, two
years ago, the Orvis rule was recogniz-
ed by admitting our conferrees upon
the basis of the Democratic vote—nine
for Centre, and twelve for Clear-
field.
Last week our conferrees, without
authority or right, permitted them-
selves to be pared down from one man
to one third of a man each, although
sent to conference under a rule of the
party regularly adopted and in full
force.
The giants were swallowed by
dwarfs,
This is a humiliating action, and
the Democracy of Centre will not like-
ly endorse this doing of the confer-
ence,

A BUSINESS revival is noted all over
the country since the iariff question
has been definitely settled. The panic
is over and prosperity only is ahead
for the country.
PresipENT CLEVELAND does not
take a fancy to the Senate tariff’ bill,
as neither do the many Democrats
who voted so long for tariff reform.
Traitorous Democrats in the SBenate be-
trayed their party, and the reform
looked for is bound to come event-
ually.
| TWO KINDS OF SUGAR TAX.

fined sugars will be collected at the
custom houses and go into the treasu-
The differential duty of one-eighth
of one cent a pound on refined sugar
will prevent the importation of refin-
ed sugar. It will be added to the price
charged for refined sugar by the sugar
trust, and go into its pockets,
Nobody objects to paying the ad va-
lorem tax on imported sugar. It is
necessary to raise money to support
the government, to pay salaries, pen-
sions, army and navy bills, interest on
the public debt and other legitimate
expenditure,
Everybody objects to being obliged
to pay money to the sugar trust sim-
ply for its own emolument,
Paying the sugar tax collected at the
customs houses is like paying for one's
dinner. The money goes for necessary
outlay.
Paying a tax to the sugar trust is
like, after the dinner is over, paying a
compulsory tip to the waiter, who has
rendered no service. It is a mere im-
position,
Now the difference between the
Democrats and Republicans, and be-
tween a tariff for revenue
and a tariff for protection,
is clearly illustrated in the compound
ad tax. The oper cot ad valorem
nb
One tax is legitimate and fair; the oth-
er is a patent and intended fraud.
One party insists on tax ation only for
the use of the government; the other
party would tax sugar for the benefit
of the trust. The tax for the use of
the trust was forged into the Gorman
bill by the aid of three or four recreant
senators, who carried their point by a
threat to defeat all legislation unless
the sugar schedule should be arranged
to suit them. The greater tax for the
use of the trust in the McKinley act
was put there by the common consent
of Republican representatives. It is
the thing they call protection.—Phila-
delphia Record.

now that the new tariff has reduced
the price of goods. Surely every voter
will be glad over the saving.

UNITED BTATES Senators should be
elected by the popular vote of the peo-
ple of the State they represent. Sev-
erel States are aching to get in touch
with their Senators, and a direct vote
would cause a radical change in that
august body.

THE NEW TARIFF LAW,
The fact that both houses of Con-
gress have unanimously agreed to ad-
journ at 2 o'clock on Tuesday after
prominent members of both houses
had conferred with the President,
clearly indicatas that the new tariff
will become a law without the ap-
proval of the President, remarks the
Times. The ten days during which
he could hold the bill expired Monday
and on Tuesday morning at midnight
the new tariff’ bill will go into opera-
tion.
The contest for the passage of the
new tarift law practically began on
the 19th of December, when Chairman

sheep have diminished and prices for
wool have gone down. Already the
price of domestic wool has increased
in this country since the passage of the
Benate bill. A month ago American
wools sold in New York and Boston
for from 19 to 84 cents a pound, accord-
ing toquality. Since then the demand
has increased, and the prices now
range from 22 cents to 87 cents,
Clothes will be cheaper because the
tax on imported cloth and clothing
has been reduced. As wool is free, the
old compensatory duty is abolished.
Under the McKinley law the rate of
duty on cheap woolen cloth was from
150 to 168 per cent., and on dearer
cloth from 89 to 99 per cent. Under
the new bill it will be from 35 to 50
per cent. The duty on knit goods was
All nre Needed,

would not be a store with a customer.

nels the rate was from 85 to 104; it will
be from 25 to 50. Women's dress goods

THE TARIFF NOW A LAW.
The new tariff’ went into operation,
President, who didn’t sign it because it
contained features which he did not
favor, while in many parts it met his
approval.
The President wrote a letter to Rep-
resentative Catchings giving his rea-
features of it worthy of approval,
while others are not in line with hon-
est tariff’ reform.
The President denounces the trusts
for their share in securing the defeat
of some of the reforms that were pro-
jected, and adheres to his belief in free
raw materials. He believes the fight
is not over, and that it will go on un-
til further reforms are enacted that
benefit the people to a still greater ex-
tent.

GOODS CHEAPER,
Wanamaker advertises that the new
tariff has made goods cheaper, and he
advertises reduced prices in all Phila-
delphia papers. That's admitting
what Democrats claimed, and what
Republicans don’t like. Cheaper
goods for the masses—Wanamaker
comes down to the facts, and the new
tariff is beginning to work for the gen-
eral good.
CHEAPER CLOTHES AND HIGHER
WOOL
Free wool will make cheaper clothes,
benefitting all the people, and will in.
crease the price of domestic wool, ben-
efitting the farmer. This may seem
to be paradoxical; It is not.
Under our old-time free-wool policy
flocks increased in numbers and the
price of wool was maintained because
there was a demand for wool. Foreign
wools are needed for admixture with
our own wools in this country,
when their is diminished
by a tariff duty the demand for Amer-
lean wools necessarily falls off. Under

STILL a great many Republicans are
finding fault with that * Democratic
Congress’ for giving protection to the
sugar trust. They ignore the fact that
the House passed a free sugar bill by
a big vote and that the Senate Repub»
licans killed it with the aid of eight
Democratic votes. Eight Democrats
do not make a Democratic Congress
protection from: the sugar trust they
had the opportunity when the free su-
gar bill came to the Senate. They
killed it. The Republicans have not
the common honesty to acknowledge
that their representatives in the Ben:
ate killed free sugar while demanding
it, but the record is there.
Savs the Pittsburg Chronicle- Tele-
graph: The conspicuous exhibition
given to the control which Trusts ex-
ercise over legislation through the
unique privileges of the Senate, pre-
sents a new issue which political par-
ties must confront. The American
people may be humbugged and eajol-
ed, but they cannot be defled. The
audacious mastery of the Sugar Trust
will not be borne. Itissureto be an
issue in the next presidential cam-
paign. Of course each party will put
the Sugar Trust over the United States,
but each party will have to pledge it-
of monopoly. The Senate privileges
which now shelter corruption will
have to be torn down, and the party
which is able to command popular
confidence in its pledges to carry out
these reforms will command the fu-
ture.

A Wild Man in Potter County,
A giant wild man is terrorizing the
inhabitants of Potter county, accord-
ing the Galeton Gazette. He is de-
scribed as a giant in size, with high,
broad shoulders, extraordinary long
arms, large head, and his whole body
covered with thick, dark hair. He is
probably the same wild man that was
reported as having been seen over near
Hull's last spring. His appearance
has set the county in commotion.
New Trial Granted.
A new trial was granted on Tuesday
by Judge Saddler in the case of the
Tyrone Manufacturing company vs.
James Cross. The case has been pend-
ing in the courts of Centre county
since 1884, was tried four tinies in our
common pleas court and twice in the
supreme court, and this granting of a
new trial places the contestants in ex-
actly the same position they were when
they began--minus the boodle they
put into it.
