Forty is not the luckiest kind of a number, The children of Israel wan- dered forty years in the wilderness, and gave Moses much trouble. It rained forty days and forty nights and everybody got fearfully wet except Noah and his folks who kept dry in the ark. Next comes the Republican platform with a forty dollar plank in it which General Hastings cannot ex- plain, and he now stands a chance of getting licked like forty, and a fellow at our elbow is willing to bet forty dol- lars that Gen. Hastings won't get 40,000 majority. fp Is 17 true that the Democratic party with its low tarifl’ is going to ruin the country? Not much, we guess. The new tariff’ is in force and right at the start the workingman is getting goods for less money aad trade is reviving. Bc py “Is CENTRE COUNTY going Hastings,” is the inquiry now then, Well, no.

The people need to understand that the Demoecrat- ic party repealed the Sherman silver bill, by which 60 cents worth of silver was called a dollar; infamous foree bill; that it repealed the McKinley high tariff bill, so that now, under the Democratic tariff the poor man can purchase cheaper goods for his family; that it cut down the ber of offices, thereby saving sands of dollars of the people’s mon- ey.

Matt Savage, of Clearfield, was nom- inated for Benator by the conferrees of Centre and Clearfield, at Tyrone, on Saturday last. Mr. Savage is editor of the Clearfield Public Spirit, and an ag- gressive Democrat. He is well fitted for the position, and will be true to the Democracy and the inierests of his constituents, in the State Senate. Mr. Savage is a Democrat sound up- on every vital principle of our party, without any halfway or ‘ifs’ about him. Heis a comparatively young man, and has rendered the party val- uable service through Nis newspaper, as well as in individual effort for the success of Democracy. ns ss t fAMPAG A GENERAL HASTINGS, in his speech the other day at Harrisburg, ‘‘sound- ing the keynote,” did not mention a word about the forty dollar plank of of his platform. Come, General, tell the people all about it, explain what it means, Ifthere is no other explana- tion of it, why just say that now, un- der the new tariff, forty dollars will buy thirty dollars worth more goods than under the McKinley tariff. — A XUMBER of car loads of apples have been sent from Union county to York to be made into applejack. Bro. Focht will likely have several jugs of the Jack on hand to reconcile the re- ealeitrant in old Union, by the time the election comes around. It can be put to them under the argument that rattlesnakes are not yet gone to winter quarters, and it will be good to take it against bites and thus rake in votes, Eyeshutters of that kind will go down in Union county. pau GEN, HASTINGY 40. Gieneral Hastings’ stomping tour has been laid out and he begins it by eaking at Emporium on the 17th. is tour for forty counties has been i i § from caus- the very general tration in the circles of our productive One of the chief the last year or more, resulting es entirely disconnected with there has been Pros. causes of Says Philadelphia lated by the oppressive tariff’ taxes of he MeKinley bill, which were denied | its of employers. That surplus be reas ed, and our industries are about to revived for two very important In the first place, have been bared sons, of surplus tions, and new supplies are an impers- tive nd cossity. tarifl’ law has been business wise interests of the country clearly understand the! to active come. There revival of our lines for vears day prosperous condition of employers to take the advantage of reduction of labor wages on the necessity. woolen, carpet, and other lead- glass by their competitors in foreign coun- tries, and then add to them the taxes levied on foreign products competition with them expressly the benefit of American labor, there would not be a complaint from the workingmen in a single mill through- out the land. The woolen manufact- urers have now free wool and practi- cally free chemicals and dye stuffs, with about forty per cent. protection on their products, levied solely for the benefit of labor. Our carpet manu- facturers have also free wool and sub- stantially free raw materials with a tarifl tax of forty per cent. on their product, levied for the protection of their labor. In these channels of in- dustry the Wilson tariff bill gives even better protection than did the distinet- ly protective tariff of 1842, prepared by Mr. Clay, the great champion of pro- tected labor, A strong effort is being made to re- duce labor wages to the starvation point by the glass manufacturers, and they, too, plead that the new tariff ne- cessitates it. They are protected un- der the new tariff from forty to fifty per cent. on every important article that they manufacture. In other words, the American consumers of glass, who embrace every class and condition of our people, pay from for- ty to fifty cents additional for every dollar's worth of glass that they pur- chase, and they pay this for the pur- pose of enabling our glass manufactur- ers to pay vastly higher wages to their workmen than are paid in the same industry abroad. To say that a pro- tection of from forty to fifty per cent. is not adequate for the maintenance of our glass industry is simply an absurd ity, and it is done solely for the pur- pose of reducing the wages of labor for the benefit of employers. In addition to this forty to fifty per cent. protec tion to the glass men, they have the advantage of three thousand miles of ocean between them and their foreign competitors, and that probably fully compensates for the increased cost of plant, coal, ete. dn American mills, Under the McKinley bill, by which tariff taxes were largely increased = tensibly for the benefit of labor, the manufacturers of this country, a a in rule, did not increase the wages of their employes, but in very many instances reduced them. Instead of giving la- bor the benefit of the increased taxes imposed upon the people for the bene- fit of labor, they profited entirely by the exactions put upon consumers to | increase wages, and now, when tariff taxes have been reduced to a reasonn- | ble standard of protection, they insult the intelligence of the American peo- | ple by declaring that with forty or fif- | ty per cent. taxes levied upon the con- sumers of their products, they must | pay the free-trade wages of England to their operatives, The workingmen are too intelligent | sue, and there will be unrest and tur- bulenece among workingmen until they | are assured that the taxes levied by the government for their benefit are honestly paid to them in wages. | Whenever that shall be done by em-| ployers and the wages shall be inade- | (quate, there may be just complaint | against our tariff policy; but until our | manufacturers pay to their labor in wages, in excess of the wages paid | abroad, the taxes levied for the benefit i | of labor, there can be no just attempt | | | to reduce w ages on the plea that tarifl’ | changes make it a necessity.
