Johnstown'! Petition.
The local flood coininlttce of Johns
town have determined te petition Con
gress for a half million te ba used In
dredging and Improving the Cencmnugh
and Steny creek. By the lime nil flood
damages have lcen repnlred and nil
necessary safeguards established it will
probably be admitted that money would
have been made by abandoning the slte
of Johnstown nnd building homes for
the survivors somewhere else in thnt
region. The dredging of these streaim,
If undertaken nt all, Is work for the
state rather than the general govern
ment, for the land drained by the
streams nnd te be benefitted by their
improvement Is nil In Pennsylvania nnd
the stnte could hardly furnish n mero
perfect hiding place for a half million
dollars. The Johnstown mirvlvern have
been considerately nnd liberally treated
by the state and country, but tlicwe who
new 'form the population of the place
eent te feel It their mission In llfe te
scramble fernll that thore Is the least
chance of getting. They seem te feel
that they have about exhausted the
patience of the stnte, and the surplus
wealth of Unde Sam naturally tempts
them te apply for this half million from
the untlennl treasury. It Js an illustra
tion of the evil of a surplus. The dam
no longer threaten!", the new town Is
built further from the wntcr, and If
Johnstown Is still Insecure it would pay
better te buy It out than te sink money
in the effort te control Uie-e mountain
rivers with thcirsteep rocky beds. Either
state or nation could find many better
places for .the expenditure- of money and
Johnstown can only claim social con
sideration because of her terrible mis
fortune. That very plea, however,
should nrgue against the petition for
dredging. Why de anything te cn cn cn
courage the settlement and rcpopulnllen
of se dangerous a valley, n valley where
the people had become se trained le
floods thnt they retired te the second
stories of their houses without alarm en
the day of the disaster ? MUlieus spent
en these river channels can only modify,
net remove, the evil. In ether parts of
the state It might pay very well te take
expensive precautions ngaiust lloeds,but
when man undertakes te change tli face
of nature he should carefully note Its ex
pression, and in Cambria county it is
certainly forbidding.
The Fashionable Senater.
The Philadelphia Telegraph thinks
that the selection of Mr. ltrlce for the
United States Senate Is "depressing."
Depressing Is hardly the word. There
caunet be much depression when you
are already at the bottom. There Is net
much chance te feel additional depres
sion en account of the material t-ent te
the United States Senate, became Mr.
Brice is added te It. There arc tee many
men there of a worse clay than Hrlce te
cnable him te lower the average. Urlce
has a certificate of his fitness for the
Senate from Judge Thurmau. We un
derstand, the judge te menu that he is us
t as the average senator : which we
have no reason te doubt, 15ut what ie
spectable authority will give such cer
tificate te the beuuters from Pennsyl
vania? The Republicans of Pennsylvania are
barred from casting atones anywlicie
in the matter of hcunterial hulec hulec
tlen. Ever elnee the parly hns had
cxlstence it has .sent te the Senate
from this &lute men who have liecn
wholly and notoriously unfit for the
station. There has been plenty
of oppertuutty for Pennsylvania "de
pression" ever the choice the fctutu has
- wade-of-Uultetl-Sratescrnrters ; there Is
absolutely no room left for any greater
depression in the Pennsylvania besom
because of any choice any ether state
may make. We are quite down at the
bottom ; and In splendid condition
for elation ever any small addition te
the respectability nnd talent of the
Senate. Sir. Urlce's selection docs net
suffice te create nny elation, we con
cede. He is quite tee much in the
fashiouable style of senators ie make
anyone happy who likes the old style.
me new styie enaier ueuniis lu upon
his wealth and his liberality in spend
ing it for the party ; or his skill in
handling cash for his party. Meney in
ome Bbnpe is the main spring of 'the
choice. The fashionable senator is fash
ioned upon cash. The old time senator
was fashioned with brains, and elected
because it was believed that he was the
best exponent of the principles of his
party, and would be among the wisest
in shaping the course of the govern
ment. Mr. Brlce Is said te be a clever as well
as a rich man. He has popular man
ners aud can make a geed speech, lie
may make a geed senator, and there is
a chance that he may make a great one.
"What we object te in ids election is
that tills is only a chance ; and that
It should rather be an assurance.
When a man seeks te be senator
be should have proofs of statesmanship
and wisdom te point te as luvltlug
his election, and It should be made
very clear that his money is net
an influence in his choice. Mr. Hook Hoek Heek

Reading securities for many ycers 5 the
bright hopes they Inspired have net
often lecn realized.
This time there seems te be n great
deal mere row than there is ocensten for.
The howlers nre the holders of the
first preference shares. Tills is a
patent sort of a (ccurlty, especially
Invented for the purposes of Heading
reconstruction. The scheme of recon
struction primarily demanded n reduc
tien or the fixed charges j nun theso wne
held high Interest bcnrlng securities had
te be jwrstinded te take a four or cent,
bend, The preference bends were the
molasses u"ed te cover the dry bread In
the eiler. They were thrown In te make
the trade. They did net cost solid cash,
and de net carry Interest unless It Is
earned, when they get five per cent.
The directors say it was net cnrncii
this year. And hence these tears.
President Cerbln cspcclnlly is abucd
because he told some people It hnd been
nracd. If he thought se he has changed
his mind, or else his colleagues have
controlled him ; for the directory Is solid
against paying anything te the first
preference bends.
Undoubtedly they arc right If It lias
net been earned and If the earning Is In
any way doubtful they are right tee.
Xe 0110 says they have the money te
pay. If earned it has been spent ; and
If jinldmust be borrowed. The Junier
preference bend nnd share holders will
be Injuted by the Increase of the
bended debt. Their securities will be
depreciated by It ; and the chnneeef the
company being nble te stand en lis feet
will be lessened. Ne one can doubt Hint
the read should use nil of its income It
needs te Increase Its earning power; nnd
that the miner sccurltlcssheuld see their
own profit and protection in this
strengthening of the read.
Tills howl Is that of the beast of Wall

wrong Fide of a speculation; and who
care nothing for the Bending property
but everything for their own dollars. It

lelin . Carllsle On tlie UlTerts eflhich
Put ten.
The leading artlcle In the January num
ber of the Victim Is en "'lhe Tarlirand tlie
Karincr," by Jehn O. Carllsle oxspeakor
or lhe llouse or Representatives. As
everything written en tlie siihjuct by Mr.
Carllsle inugt he or pulillBlnterest, we ro re ro
predtico lu n condensed form his views or
what a tarlfTeught te be ir It were framed
mero In lhe Interest or the wliole poeplo
than it Is new. Mr. Carllsle begins his
pnier witli tlie preposition that "no logical
or consistent argument can be framed te
show that the jtellcy or protection encour
ages any industry in this country except
upon lhe hypothesis that free competition
would se rcdiice the prices thht our poeplo
could net prelltnbly cngage In that par
ticular Industry, irrreoceinpotlllon tends
te reduce price", whatover interferes with
such competition must tend te lucrcase
thorn, and as tlie imposition of taxes upon
articles Imported Irem abroad necessarily
prevents competition te grnater or less ox ex
tont with similar commodities produced
here, It is contended by protectionist that It
is the duty or tlie government te levy such
tixcs, whether it needs tlie revenue or
net. The whole, argument, If It Is consis
tent with truth, or with Itself, ndmlts that
the ell'ect of the protection jmllcy Is te In
crease the price or the protected nrtlcles lu
this country, for IT this were net the case
It is plain Unit it could net cnable our pco pce pco
peo te prod u co them at a tirellt, aud would,
therefore, be weilliless." It is evident
thata protecllvo tnriirnnu only be benoll benell
cial te tlie producers of theso articles which
would be Imported te what tlie protection
ists consular nn injurious extcut, and that
ns te all ether nrtleles which we preducu
in greatei quantities than we noed Ter our
own consumption, ns well ns these we pro
duce ns cheaply as the foreigner, such
articles could net be Imported liore oveti if
tliore were 110 lax. Whatever the cllect of
the tariir may he en olher classes of pro pre pro
ducers the farmers or the United States
cannot possibly increase the prices or the
articles they have te sell, bc-cuuse without
protection they can have no foreign com
petition in their home market, while they
are subjected te lhe most severe competi
tion in lhe foreign inaikcts, where they
must sell their surplus. Mr. Cinllsle pro
ceeds! "And In thin connection It must net be
forgotten that the prices of nil the niincl
pal agricultural products which the furmer
sells at home nre fixed In the froe markets
abroad, where he soils ids surplus, whlle
the prices or nearly all the things he lias te
buy are fixed in the protected markets
here, and are largely increased by the total
or partial exclusion of foreign competition,
aim by reason of the unnecessary taxes
imposed upon the iiiatetlals used in their
production. The fact that the home prices
of such articles as we produce In ox ex
coss of the home domain), and therefore
expert toether countries, are fixed iu lhe
foreign ports where they nre sold is nd
mltlecl by overy Intelligent protectionist."
If the furmer hnd the home market In
which lhe demand was equal te or in ox ex
coss of the supply, as tlie protectionists
have been premising them for tlireo-quar-ters
of a century, the case would be dllfor dllfer
enl, but it is certain that no such a market
has been secured le lilin,aud"tlieruiestinu
he lias new le decide is whether he will
contlnue te tax himself for nu lndofluite
period In the future in order that the im
possibility of success may be demon
strated." Prem the experience he has
already had "It would seeni that no argu
ment ought te be noeessary te convince
him that he has been the voluntary victim
of a policy which guarantees u home mar
ket nnd high prices for the producers of tlie
aillclcs he lias te buy, nnd leaves him te
get such prices as he can in the open
markets or the world for lhe nrtl nrtl
ceos he has In soil." Mr. Car Car
llseo next takes up Sonater Ciilleiu's
artlcle iu the last number of the 'uritM,
aud polntseut the fall. iciesef fact and .state
ment. .Senater Cullem rotors te thoarticle
or steel rails and the reduction iu prlce,
through the alleged operation or the tarlll',
between tlie years ISO' and 187, andquotes
it as "a typical ense orthe working or pro
tection." Mr. Carllsle shows that Senater
Cullem gives tlie prlce In 18G7 in depre
ciated paper and iu 1SS7 iu geld, lle might
have shown, says Mr, Carlisle, that tlie
prices or many nrtleles have been reduced
slnce 1S07 articles that always huve been
admitted fiee of duly. The saiue reduc
tion lu the price of steel rails was going en
In frco-tnule Knglaiid much faster than
In tlie United .States during the saiue
period, and the cause Iu both cases was the
expiration of patents and (lie discovery of
improved piecesses of manufacture. Mr,
Carllsle finally s'ntes the case of the far
mer, nnd it is se strong that we glve It en
tire: "The American fanner, although he
cultivates the most Turtile soil In lhe world,
and ought te be the most prosperous mem
ber or the community, Is constantly en
gaged hi a hard struggle te secure iiVoiu iiVeiu iiVoiu
fertublo support for his family nnd a uuld uuld uuld
orate education for his children, and le pay
Ills (axes and koep out of debt. This is ail
he can reasonably hepe te accomplish, hi
a large nuijeilty of cases he fails even te de
tills, aud sooner or later iscompelledtosoll
or mortgage fits land aud reduce his ex
pend it uies te the lowest possible figure. He
has a paternal government which has de
termined that certain classes of iudustiy
ought te be maintained nt the public
expense, and ler cjtliiily years he has
been taxed for their support, nnd
new, alter these favored Industries have
bceoine ileh nnd powerful, tliey comblue
nnd ronredemto underthe names of trusts,
syndicates nnd peels, and dictate the tonus
upon which the poeplo may procure the
necessaries of life and carry en thelr busi
ness. I'uder our system or taxation the
fanner is almost w ltlieut the soiiiblauce of
power le protect his own interests. He can
not control the prices of the products he
sells In the mnikctsef his own country,
bceause the demand is net equal te the
supply, and he must tnke w hat he can get ;
nnd lie cannot control the prices of the ar
ticles be buys here, but must pay what what what
oeor is asked because tlmyure protectod by
tnrltV laws ngnliist the competition of
oeryueuv wne wnms 10 soil lliein
lower. "Ner can he control the
pi Ices of his products lu tlie markets
abroad, whero he soils w hat his home mar
ket will net take, bceause thore he Is com
pelled te compete, under many disadvan
tages, with similar products from all parts
of the weild. U he attempts te escape
extoitieu at home by puiehasing what he
wants In tlie cheap markets abroad, wliore
he sells ids surplus, his ew 11 government
arrests him at the custom hotise and lines
him from SO te KH) percent, upon the v.ilue
eriils goods, and this he must pay bel'ore
lie is allowed te sell or even te use the
ni tides he has bought w Uh the proceeds or
Ills own labor. Aud w hat makes the mat
ter worse Is the fact that lhe government
does net need the line, but imposes it upon
the importer and the importer's customers
because they are supposed te be competing
with seme Individual or coriieratton en
gaged in making the saiue kind of goods
lu tills country."

Competition is Comatose.
The union of special Bargain
prices upon honest Merchan
dise with the plain serial story
are. the means of drawing the
great company which comes
daily rain or shine.
The Merchandise movement
is se strong and the lift se great
that followers have ceased te
fellow.
Gloriosa is the glory of
Spring Dress. It is the pride
of the early season the rising
sun of Dress Goods. Last
year the advent, this year the
perfection of Gloriosa. Last
year we thought them perfect
but we knew net what this year
would bring forth. Here they
arc, and only here. The plain
colors are

There are fourteen styles
stripes and one plaid. The
width is 48 inches, and seven
yards the average pattern.
Plain and black stripes, $1.50,
fancy stripes and plaid, $1.75.
But the combination of trifling
weight with powerful strength
is the best held of Gloriosa.
Ginghams. The Andersons
and Whytlaws have wheeled
into line. Magnificent! The
greatest and handsomest array
of Novelty Ginghams ive ever
had. Ne half way victory. Yeu
forget te compare with any past
while you're looking at the best
of them. There is no past for
them. Unique. In the fine
woolen stuffs and in silks you
have seen such loom work, but
never before in cotton.

Then there arc rich Borders
en Ginghams forty-two inches
wide deep enough for a skirt
length without piecing.
A feature of this exhibit is
the showing of 25 cent Plaids
and Stripes from Whytlaw
Ginghams just out of the boxes
and in all the newest colorings.
Ordinarily they would be sold
at 37 c.
Altogether mere than five
hundred styles and colorings in
this newest Gingham rally, and
there arc famous clans yet te
