gr ally inferior cost, and can be sold
at low prices on long credits.
17th Interrogator}': IV hfit rate of
duties in the tariff will, in your opin
ica place yon as a manufacturer in
fair competition yith the toreign ma
ker of the same commodity?
Answer: To put the domestic on a
perfect equality with the foreign man
ufacturer of iron, in all respects, he
should be protected to the extent of
the difference in cost of capital and la
bor. here and abroad, and all taxes di- [
rect and indirect paid by the Ameri
can product, from which the foreign
is free. It is conceded by the British
iron masters that wc pay three dollars
for labor thai costs the English manu
facturer but one. The capital neces
sary to build and stock iron works,
owing to the higher cost of materials
and labor and higher rate of inf'rrst,
Costs us three times as tnitch as it does
him. and consequently, to put us on an
equality in these respects, we should
be protected to the extent of at least ;
two thirds of the actual cost of our'
product. It has been shown that the
taxes paid to the Government on a
ton of American iron is?l6 23; to this
add the difference in cost of iabor and ,
capital in this country, and you will
find the amount necessary to put the
American " manufacturer in fair com
petition with the foreign maker.
18th Interrogator}*: What is the
cost of making pig metal in England, ;
and what in Scotland ; also rails, coin
mon bar, &c., as far as you know ?
Answer: I can only judge of the
cost of some of those articles by the j
extremely low price at which they are
sold, and the mammoth fortunes accu
mulated by the manufacturers At
present cost of labor, Welsh rails are
not costing the manufacturer over ?25 ;
per ton.
The cost of Scotch pig is hard to es
timate, but as it is now selling from
$13.50 to 514, arid is understood to pay
a large profit to the maker, it cannot
cost more than SIU to sll, and proba
bly less than that
The English manufacturers are wise
ly cauti uis about disclosing the secrets t
of their business, or the cost of their (
product, and in all the publications I
have been able to sec there is not as
much given, leading to a correct esti
mate of the cost ot making iron, as I
have given you in answering these in
terrogatories. Yet I find it admitted
by some of them that pig metal can be
profitably made in certain districts of i
England at £2 per ton.
20t'n Interrogatory: What will be
the effect upon the wages of laborers j
and operatives, if gold should come to 1
par without an increase of duties on i
foreign goods?
Answer: There must be a corres j
ponding decline of wages, or manufac
turing must cease. The latter is most I
likely to occur—many thousands will j
be thrown out of employment, and
much suffering will ensue.
21si Interrogatory : If any general j
decline in prices of American manu
factured commodities shall take place,
can the present rate of wages be main
tained ?
Answer: So far as the manufacture
of railroad iron is concerned, I would
answer emphatically no.

BQT" "Why the h—l don't Congress ad
rait the States," said a yelping copper
head the other day in our hearing, mean
ing of course the rebel States. Don't the
silly fool, as well as others who bark in

that these' 'States" are keeping themselves,
out'* Let them pass the amendments,
and thus make this a whiff- man's govern
ment, and they can come in.
Our Legislative Ticket.
The re-nomination of JAMES M. BROWN,'
we are pleased to say, gives general satis
faction in this county. Whatever differ
ence of opinion existed previous to the
meeting of the county convention, was
definitely settled by the action of that
hody, and among his most ardent sup
porters now are most of those who honest
ly o[inosed him at the delegate election.
So far as our county is concerned, Me can
hold our own, and tnake some inroads
into the new party. We see attempts are
made to connect Mr. Brown with the
Senatorial question, and in Juniata and
Huntingdon the cop papers set himdown
as a Cameron man. In this county we
wisely discarded a question only calcula
ted to foster discord, antf we think we can
safely say our member occupies common
ground with ourselves in relation to this
matter, which is this : We have no fav
orite first, last and all the time. When
the time comes we are willing to look
around among the prominent men who
stand faithful to the great truths enuncia
ted by the Union Republican Party—to
counsel with members of that party from
all parts of the State —weigh tlie status of
candidates, and, if a close vote, their
probability of success in convention, if
nominated ; and then, whether the
choice fall upon Qurtin, Cameron, or
any other sound Union man, WE ARE
FOR HIM, and this we are confident is the
sentiment of nine-tenths of our voters.
In Huntingdon, county, HENRY S.
WHARTON, a young man of fine talents
and business habits, received the nomina
tion through the practice inaugurated
during the past few years of making their
members yearlings. Such at is our
view of the matter, as if was evident that
the friends of Mr. Swoope < who was de
feated last year for a re-nomination) this
year defeated Mr. Baker. We regret
that such was the case, but when Hun
tingdon county presents us an unob
jectionable candidate nominated by the
usages of the party, it is not our busi
ness, nor that of Juniata, to go behind
the nominating body and inquire whether
somebody is dissatisfied. We intend to
do our duty by Mr. Wharton, and there
fore have a right to ask that republicans
of Huntingdon county do theirs—as we
believe they will—for if local differences
are once introduced, and district members
put in jeopardy, a minority might as well
at once dictate who we should vote for
even in a township election. We believe
our friends in Huntingdon county could
easily trace their apparent difficulty to
the introduction of a side issue, and as
wolves who were loudest in creating that
issue have now thrown off the sheep's
clothing they used, it ought to satisfy all
reflecting men that, while perhaps inno
cently got up, it w'as insidiously fostered
for the purpose of creating discord. In
fact. Cowan's sleuth hounds can be track
ed in the manceuver as readily as whisky
in an official drunkard.
Presidential Dignify.
From the day Andrew Johnson was in
augurated Vice President, every Christian
man in this country, and every well
wisher of its prosperity, has had cause to
blush for his course. When Booth's mur
derous hand made him President, it was
hoped he had repented in sack cloth and
ashes, and that he would realize the fear
ful responsibility resting upon him to
preserve the dignity of this nation; but
his 22d of February harangue, couched in
language which would do no honor to
any political stump orator, dispelled those
hopes, and men can now only look on
and read in wonder. All our Presidents
heretofore preserved at least a studied
dignity when they appeared before the
public, and seldom' indulged in egotisti
cal displays or used language derogatory
to their high position. Many of our
readers will no doubt remember with
what astonishment they read a certificate
of James Buchanan, certifying to the
good qualities of a keg of Monougahela
whiskey forwarder! to him by a Pennsyl
vania firm, and how generally that act
was condemned, for although a certificate
from simple James Buchanan would have
been passed over without comment, such
a one from "Juntes Buchanan, President
oi the I nited States," was looked upon
as derogatory to that office and discredi
table to the nation. Under Johnson how
ever all this is changed. Intemperate
language, coarse attacks on Congress and
all who ditt'er from him, references to the
Deity next to blasphemous, and a vulgar
egotism that would shame a candidate for
constable, mark too many of his address
es. On his present journey, ostensibly to
lay the corner stone of a monument to
Douglas, a man whom he most bitterly
assailed while living, he has almost in va
riably started out by declaring he would
not makeaspeech, then launched out into
digressions on " my policy," warmed up
until he denounced Congress, either as
usurpers, disunionisjts, or some other foul
mouthed epithet, and wound up by telling
his hearers the old story that he had been
a tailor!

"The Gazette can goon emptying its
"stinkpots," as its masters direct, at men
who refuse to bow at the shrine of its eb
ony idol, but the people of this county
have learned to appreciate it at its real
worth. The day has passed when per
sonal detraction, the only remaining ele
ment of political opposition the Gazette
and its party has, can atl'eet the success of
the Democracy."
We do not know to which of theerftfors
of the Democrat we are indebted for the
above courteous and gentlemanly extract
from a rigmarole of nonsense in its last is
sue, which, as is usually the case ■where
men have no argument nor reason to op
pose an opponent, resort is had to person
al bitlinsgate. We shall not follow its
course, but would ask wherein have we
engaged in such "personal detraction" of
the candidates of the new party as that
paper asserts ? Had we said that one of
its candidates was a drunkard (as tlie
Democrat did of one of ours last year) —
that another had stolen a sheep, and a
third beaten his wife, that paper might
talk about "detraction," but it is some
thing new to us that to canvass a candi
date's political record comes under that
head. For instance, is it detraction to say
that Wm. Ross, one of its candidates for
Associate Judge, was tried and is now
under conviction of taking the votes of
deserters—that during the entire war he
was one of the most vindictive opponents
of the Union men in this county, and that
his sympathies and feelings were with the
.South? Is it personal detraction to say
that Mr. Ross is a man of strong temper,
frequently unreasonable, and a violent
political partizan? Is it personal detrac
tion to say that John W. Kearns, during
the war, stood upon the same platform
and taught the same doctrines that the
Belinsgrove Times did—that by his talk
and example he induced ignorant men
to put themselves in opposition to the
government when its very existence was
threatened? Is it personal detraction to
say that Mr. Banks was the chosen friend
and associate of the vilest calumniators of
Abraham Lincoln, and though more
guarded in his expressions, when or where
did he ever pubnlra j|iMhunee the rebel
leaders half as he did those who
were at the head of our government?—
And so with Major McEwen. He went
into the service, was promoted to a jwist
of honor and profit, resigned a position
worth nearly S2OO per month long before
the close of the war, and came home to
rail at the administration! Wo do not
dispute the right of these men to do these
things, but we also claim that if tliey are
put forward as candidates for office, sol
diers and all other citizens have a right to
know the position they occupied in the
most eventful period of our history; and
if knowing it, soldiers and others who
stood by their country "right or wrong,"
choose to reward such men like Messrs.
Banks, Ross, Kearns, &c., with office,
why be it so—the republican doctrine be
ing that the majority shall rule.
XknF' Hon. James Mullens, a member of
the Tennessee Legislature, in a speech at
Philadelphia 011 Friday last, stated as a
fact within his own knowledge that after
Johnson had promised to be the Moses to
lead the negroes out of Egypt into Canaan,
that poor deluded race raised S4OO and
purchased him a splendid gold watch
which he still wears. Another incident
related by Mr. Mullens, is worthy of note.
Referring to the character of thecompany
which Andrew Johnson had kept of late,
the speaker contrasted his appearance at
Democratic meetings with the fact that
shortly after the Democratic Convention
at Chicago he forcibly dispersed a Mc-
Clellan meeting held in Tennessee. The
meeting was held in the evening, in the
second story of a building used its a court
house, and Mr. Johnson being apprised
of the fact ordered out some of the colored
troops under his command, and ordered
(hem to go to the place, blow out the
lights, and knock every d —d man down
stairs regardless of the consequences. —
These orders were obeyed to the letter,
and the unfortunate McClellanites were
driven from their room, tumbled pell-mell
down the stairs, and many of them per
sonally assaulted. That was what An
drew Johnson did in 18t>4 for his MeClel
lan friends.
fey" The Selinsgrove Times naturally
comes to the rescue of Messrs. Ross and
Ivearns, who it insists are, like itself, dem
ocratic, and winds up an article on the
Gazette as follows:
44 The Gazette still has 44 soldier on the
brain," with which it will doubtless be
troubled till after the election. We are
not afflicted in that way, though we have
quite a goodly number of soldiers' names
upon our subscription book who will all
vote for Clymer and a white man's gov
ernment at the next election. Nor do
honorable soldiers endorse a party so mean
that will submit to their members in Con
gress voting themselves $3,000 extra pay
for a few months service and to the sol
diers only SIOO for three years /"
In the first place, more democratic
votes, in proportion to numbers, voted for
an increase of salary than did republicans;
and all the Johnson members voted for
it. Secondly we acknowledge to have
44 soldier on the brain" all the time; and
had the soldiers as a body been wise, they
would have secured two-thirds of all the
civil offices in this State for many years
to come. But led 011 by designing offi
cers, many privates were induced to join
Clymer clubs as soldiers, thus giving
countenance to one who during the war
had no voice in their favor, and who vo
ted against increasing their pay, while
his opponent WJIS not only a brave and
gallant soldier but in every respect the
equal, if not superior, of Clymer. In do
ing so, the privates threw away their own
chances of civil promotion, and will, as
they did in the war, do the hard work,
while those who misled them will reap
offices and greenbacks. Had they conic
back, organized as a body of Union men,
and put forward their claims, the Gazette
would have raised no word of objection
to any nominee of character and standing,
no matter what his political antecedents
might have been.
Sale of the Democracy.
On Thursday last the Legislative con
ferees of the democracy that was met the
Johnsonites in this place, and consumma
ted the intrigue and bargain of selling the
democracy to the new party by adopting
Mr. Miller of Huntingdon and Mr. Wil
lis of Lewistown as candidates for the
Legislature. If any one still has doubts,
the following editorial article front the
Washington Star of Friday bust, one of
Johnson's organs, ought to satisfy him:
The National Virion Party." —The
name adopted, as above, by the great na
tional party which has arisen for the sal
vation of the country, is accepted every
where as one exceedingly felicitous and
appropriate. It correctly designates the
purpose had in view; it is as broad and
comprehensive as the nation itself; and
while rallying all patriots to a common
standard, has no tint or rust of old partv
names or shibboleths.
Fall in, old democrats! here's a fine
chance for your services as hewers of wood

An Apostate's Picture as Drawn
by Himself.
In his speech at the St. Cloud Hotel, in
Memphis, accepting the nomination for
the Vice Presidency, Andrew Johnson
thus urged the necessity of a rigid fran
chise law in Tennessee:
"I say that the traitor has ceased to be
a citizen, and in joining the rebellion has
become a public enemy. H< forfeited his
right to vote with loyal men when he re
nounced his citizenship and sought to de
stroy our Government. We say to the
most honest and industrious foreigner
who comes from England and Germany
to dwell among us and to add to the wealth
ot the country, 'Before you can he a citi
zen you must stay here for five years.'
If we are so cautious about foreigners, who
voluntarily renounce their homes to live
with us, what say to the traitor
who, although born and reared among us,
has raised' a parieidal* hand against the
government which alwavs protected him?
My judgment is that he should f>e subjected
to a severe ordeal before he is restored to
citizenship."
And yet this man in a speech sometime
ago, had the impudence to ask what prin
ciples and promises lie had betrayed?

Lee's invasion, was for some time under
rebel surveillance, and in a good deal more
danger of life than some folks who enter

local service, volunteered during Lee's in

larly discharged. He again enlisted, and
was twice rejected, much against his wish

Rules for Pension Claims.

dollars per month additional for each

gisir The dinner of the President's j>ar
ty at Delmonico's, New York, was the
most elegant and expensive affair of the
kind ever enjoyed by so large a party in
this country. Dinner for two hundred
and fifty was ordered, and the cost was
$25,000, or one hundred dollars for each
plate. There were eight different kinds
of wine, costing from ten to twenty dol
lars per bottle. Ibis was a Ji'/uocrufjr

right in a city where the Democrat latelv
complained that soldiers were starving. *
In addition to the mutilation of
Gen. Sheridan's dispatch published by
Johnson's administration, which entirely
changed its meaning as to the New Or

another entire dispatch was omitted from

The mutilated dispatch was in Johnson's

rests between him and the New York
