"Tho Davis."
It stands at the head without
a rival. It takes the lead ns the
best high-arm, smooth-running,
easily-mastered, noiseless family
machine. That "The Davis"
has stood the test through the
many years it has been before
the public, needs no better proof
than that its stiles exceed the
most sanguine expectations of
its friends, and have astonished
the manufacturers, who have
twice within the last few years
been obliged to enlarge their
factory, more than doubling their
capacity. This result is- mainly
due to the peculiar and distinc
tive feature the Vertical Feed,
a modern idea, the right to
which is owned and controlled

Tariff and 3nrplns.
Mauch Chunk, Feb. C, 18S8.
Thero Is no question so rlronilncn' and
so much discussed as '.ho tariff, and the
surplus money in tho U. S. Treasury. Tho
3100,000,000 wrung from th6 people yearly
In excess lo tho necessary expenditures of
the government, is nothing less than a
crlmo against the people. This surplus
must be abolished, and President Cleveland
did a wlso thing in confining his annual
message to this ono important subject.
Uron this subject all agree; but as lo how,
where and lehcn. there Is a wide difference
f opinion. It seems to be evident that no
bill can be passed unless it be by mutual
concession and compromise. These con
cessions, If a bill Is to be enacted at this
session of Congress, must recognize dis
tinctively tho Democratic principle of In
cidental protection and not "Free Trado."
rhe surplus can be wiped cut by taking the
tariff off raw materials and particularly
from the real necessaries of life. The In
ternal revenue system may also sug
gest a means of relief or at least contribute
something thereto. Therefore by com
promising the several wings of tho Demo
cratic party by taking a slice off both im
portations and .revenue taxes, substantial
results can bo obtained. This should be
lone In a broad pacific spirit, satisfactory
to all elements of the partv, If possible.
One thing is certain, that these results and
Cleveland's re-election cannot be accom
plished If out and out "Fiea Traders", are
permitted to shape a policy upon which so
much depends.
In 1SS3 the success of tho Democracy de
pends upon united action, and not upon
measures supported by Carlisle, Mills,
Scott,' ct. al but It will require also the
co-operation of Randall, McAdoo, ct. al.
And those who by infl.ttnatory articles, by
reading Democrats who believe in protec
tion, out of the party, and by urging non-
concession and demanding "Freo Trade,"
thereby provoking harmony In the majori
ty party, commit a crimo against Dcino-
c.acy and good government and deserve to
bo branded as traitors. I very much fear
that ths current discussions upon reducing
unnecessary taxation and thereby prevent-
ns; the accumulation of such a large and
dangerous surplus in the U..S. Treastrry,
ato runnlug wild and reckless as to effects
and consequences, and unconsciously lead
ing the great Democratic party into the
broad road which leads to political destruc
tion. Many of these, discussions and argu
ments do not stop at the real point at Issue
to reform the tariff and prevent the ac
cumulation of fhe surplus but go right
Into tho fundamental theory of absolute
Free Trade." The Picsldent Is not re
sponsible for this madness. Ho had a
specific object in view when ho wiotelils
message. The surplus in tho U. S. Treas
ury was so largo as to endanger all the
business Interests in tho country. We all
agreo that there Is a crying need for a thor
ough revision of our present Iniquitous
tariff laws, to bring them In accord with
tho plainest principles of equity, even If
there was no surplus In tho Treasury to
specially demand i'. Rut to do this It Is
neither necessary or beneficial to go Into
abstract theoietical discussions of "Free
Trade" principles. Tho tariff laws can
undoubtedly he so amended and revised as
lo relieve the country from the continued
accumulation of this burdensome surplus
with an cyo fixed and direct upon a just
protection of business and labor. What
ever views ion may personally hold upon
the abstract question, as to whether Pro
tection or Free Trade.bc the truo economic
doctrine, it is certain that no country can
safely change from one system to the other
except by slow and gradual steps. A sud
den change ot such systems is not only
dangerous to the business Interests of the
country, but it would also prove to bo stil
cldal to tho political party that attempts
It. I hope the Democratic party will steer
clear of theso dangerous political shoals, so
that It may again safely land In the harbor
of political power. A freo trado argument
at this time is too big for tho people, and
it swallows Itsolf up, when you attempt to
reconcile It with the ODject of the Presl
dent's mcssago it's like a man attempting
.... . . ... ... .... v -
to un niinseii uy pulling ai uis uoot straps,
It is not yet fully known what concessions
the Randall wing of the Democratic party
is willing to make In this matter, since the
President's earnest and patriotic appeal to
tho country, but in no event must that
potent. Influential and pswerful element of
the Democracy be Ignored, Ir Cleveland, or
any other Democrat, Is to win In 16SS.

Tho Lehigh Valley Rallroadis experi
menting with soft coal and a number of its
freight locomotives are burning this kind
ot fuel. It Is said that tho Wyoming ah
thraclto coal, which the company has been
using since the strike, Is full of slate and
not at all satisfactory.
There is a great deal of mistaken talk
going on about railroad-building In the
Northwest. There aro even now neatly 10,
000 miles of railroad projected, and, as
there Is anxiety to put money intorillroad
building, it Is nrobablo that the outside
rather than the Inside limit ot railroad
building will be done.
The Lloyd valve works, foundry and
machine shops, which have been Idle since
the fall of 1SS5, will be stated up again In a
week or two, tho Bethlehem foundry and

machinery in tho county. The news of the
resumption of these works will be hailed
with pleasure by tho people, as it will give
work to a yery largo niinihcr.of mechanics.
Tho shutting down of so many furnaces
for want of coal has caused misery in an
unexpected quarter. There being no de
mand for ore, many of the iron ore mines
along tho East Fenn Railroad have closed
down. The miners, who havo large fami
lies, received only 75 to 00 cents a day, and
consequently, even working, are In almost
abject poverty. About thirty of them, with
their families, have been compelled to sock
admittance to the Berks and Lehigh coun
ties poor houses until work Is resumed. This
Is a result ot the strike, and In view of It all
men can be Intimidated to such profound
foolishness.

Dr. Il'm. Jf. DuFoui, formerly of Lo-j
hlgliton, has just been elected a niemberof '
the board of education of Wllllamspoit a !
well deserved compliment to a man of fino
scholarly attainments.
Among the possible candidates fur the
Legislature JIalloy and Fisher are spoken
of; well, anything but a Rachman repeti
tion. Both of those gen lemcn have ability
and would lie a credit to the county.
Rev. John Hagan has entered the mis
sionary field of the M. K. church and ex
pects to enter upon tils duties soon. It Is
likely that ho wilt he sent, lo some of the

In the cause hi- will no doubt do good
work.
There Is no use getting exorcised over
the possibilities of the new congressional
field there will be any number of candi
dates, but tho fiist plum will not be plucked
by a Carbonlte. Mutchlcr -and Storm will
sec to It that tho starting point Is not. from
Carbon, although wn have excellent con
gressional material, such us Brodhead,
Klolz, Craig, Hapsher, Crtssldy, Hurling ami

We see that Gen. Lllly'is taking an ac
tive interest In congressional matters, yet
his chances for representing this section
aro no better than ever. The General has
ability and his general experience as a bus
iness man ate factors In his fayor, but his
party lack the requisite number of votes to
elect. Had bo remained loyal to Demo
cracy there Is no doubt he would long ago
havo been tho Hon. Wm. Lilly, but thon
the best of men mako mistakes.
Tho lato riot in the coal regions Is said
to bo attributable to Hungarians, Poles and
vllfl whiskey, and yet this class aro taken
Into the K. ot L. organization, fed, fostered
and flattered. What for? simply to. pre
vent their taking thcplacc ot strlkeis. It
has been claimed that as soon as a Hungar
ian, Pole, or whatever the nalionaIity,reach
tho coal region he Is Initiated ami becomes
a K. of L., loyal and serviceable; this being
true, tho attempt to shift tliu responsibility
of tbo lato riot on thle class alone will be
abortive; the average reader of the day
knows tho sentiment of tbo wage worker
around the mines the same principle gov
erned long before the Hungarians, Poles or
Italians reached here.
