Halt the rush to ruin "The Democratic party received the gloriout trust of a nation' safe keep- ing and guidance from the American people, vigorous, progrt$$ivt, prosper ous, contented, hoptful, In ItU than tu-elre months those who "ere misled by the faleehoode, deluded by maaimi and theories. and xHmidated l"j glowing promises, jinti the country weaktned anditagnant, the people suffering and discontented, and onhj hopeful for a speedy end of llieir sorrows by the de feat of the Wilson loll and the disinte gration of the parly that has betrayed them." Iddress of the New York lie- publican Club, Tub Democratic income tax will re ceive tbo enthubiasiic support of every pickpocket in the land. UNDER TBI terms of the income tax we expect to see the Democracy noliJify the eutire bighfraymtn vote. - - UPON REFLECTION, it occur to us that the Democratic party is like the poor Indian; best tvlieu it it doaJ. - When Secretary Hokk smith could pleuse a whole nation by stepping out, aud yet iloenu't please it, we are forced to lOipeet that lie la unpatriotic Is Tills interval between national campaigus, .Secretary Ctrlisle seems to think that Wall street's soulless sharks are really gentlemen and scholars. Mk Cleveland recently worritd be cause he had congress on his haudi. Turn about is fair play Congress now seems to be worrying because it has Mr Cleveland on its bands, - Hl'.nukk and cold do riot stop to Wttigii the line 'points in deciding what hit them. They know that they exist, mid that misery like their s calls for prompt aud generous action. ' s -- By IHl depreciation iu value which lias come from the Democratic effort to inaugurate un-American policies, the country has already lost nearly four billion dollars Is the experiment Worth the price .' Jlst WATCH Secretary Carlisle for a few dayi and you will see a realistic illustration of robbing i'eter to pay Paul. For such, however you analyze It, is toe cancsllation of one debt by the creation of another. Pu r Mk. Hk&d s speech alongside the iSew York Republican club address, a portion of which is reprinted else where, and you have a combination of lomc, fact and arraignment seldom equalled iu economic debate. Considering the insults heaped on the memory of Commander Willits, it is a wonder that this administration can "approve Admiral Djnhani's course." But, then, spite plays no part In Mr Cleveland's brnzluu policy, Senator Sherman thinks that Mr. Carlisle's 5 per cent, bund scheme is legal and Senator Hour thinks that it is not. The point, in any event, is imma terial whn contrasted with the auda city of the policy that mattes it neeas ary. The Democratic Wilkes-Uarre News-Dealer reluctantly admits that "as a minority party Democracy is the best in the world," Just as soon as it can, the country will cordially vote to restore that party to its becoming de gree of goodness. The INDISPENSABLE man ia not nu merous in any country. America re veres Mr. Gladstone, and delights to honor his uame. But the cause of jus tice to Ireland will not die with his re tirement; nor the progress of British electoral reform long halt because of his loss. The 1'rke silver organs of the far west profess great fellow feeling for the "squirming iron barons." But mi til the "iron barons" seriously ask the government to buy their products at the rate of one dollar in irold for sixty eents' worth of iron, there will never be any fair basis of comparison. The Wilres-Barre News-Dealer thinks that Lackawanna and Luzerne counties ought to do something hand tome for James Denton Hancock at the coining election. This spirit is cer tainly commendable. We would re apectfnlly suggest that Mr. Hancock be presented with a souvenir spoon. Sesator Platt, of Connecticut, cor rectly views the duty of Republicans toward the Peckham nomination when be says the senatorial minority cannot afford to mix up iu a Democratic family quarrel. The nominations of Mr. Cleveland ought to ba considered itriotly on their intrinsic merits, let the chips fall where they may. A Wilkes Bahke letter in the Phila delphia Press holds out the idea that Representative Hinea will be the easi est man to whip next November that the Democrats could nam . This idea wonld be pleasant if it were only accu rate; but the trouble is that it ia alto gether erroneous. The Republicans of Loztnie should not be misled by such theoriaing. That intn Hinea is a po litical buatler from the vary crown of bis head to the soles of bit feet. He can be beaten and he must bo beaten; bnt to do it will require the very best effort! that the Republican party, re inforced by all frieuds of protection and prosperity, irreipective ofpartis.in ties, can put forth. The issues at stake ue,t fail are too grave to justify the remotest possibility o( lotiug a single congressional district through over confidence which oonld bo rideemsd through an earnest mid itnsperate tight Uveland's second Item has already cost the country more than the entire cost of the n ar for the suppression of slmery. Is it north the price:' THE ESTEEMED bnt unacountably seri ous Williumsport Times has taken of fense at u little paragraph in which The TbIBUNB sportively suggested that no such ai'commodntions were accessi bio to Collector Herring at the Lycom ing county seat as are accessible to him in the magnificent new federal build ing in this city Not wishing to keep tin- pretty feathers of the Timis longer refold, THE TRIBUNE cheerfully prof fers its apology, But it cannot accept the Times' invitation to inspect the Willtanisport structure, for the reason that it has already thoroughly exam ined it, aud knows whereof it speaks when it says that that building isn't a marker to the new one at Washington and Linden. By fie way, has the irascible Times editor seen the Scran ton federal building? Turn about is fair play. We hereby invite liiui to examine it. . ,i THE CALL. OF CHARITY. It is altogether possible that the at tention of our citizens has not jot been sufficiently called to the great good which they can do by contributing clotb'.s to the agencies of public relief. This sharp touch of winter that makes the sleigh bells of the well-to-do jin gle so merrily in the bracing atmos phere eats with vitriolic force into the poorly clad persons of our numerous poor. The slightly toiled garment that mi lady tosses carelessly into a closet or puts away, expecting but not needing to wear it again, will be a literal god send to the shivering mother whose scanty shawl or patched gown of calico affords sorry bariicade against the frost -king's I reath. The gift of this garmeut in charity means little or, nothiug to the donor; but to the recipi ent it means everything, heat, comfort aud bodily warmth ; thosa things that alone distinguish the civilized human from the sav age beart Cau generous Scranton not make a larger effort than it has yet made to relieva the suffer ings of these, our poor Let us view iu this welcome fri gidity not simply an invitation to personal enjoyment but rattier an es pedal call npon tlis sympathies that, if properly obeyed, will make our merry making all the heartier, jollier and more seemly. HALT THE HAVOC. l ine of the tnoit forcible aud timely arraignments yet made of this blun dering administration's deliberate policy of industrial ruin is that con tained iu an address by the committee on national affairs of the Nsw York City Republican club, L Iward B Har per, chairman. Some of its statistical estimates are simply appalling iu their vivid exposition of the industrial havoc wrought aud threatened by the U-u. cratic party. Estimating, upon the basis of Eleventh centm returns, that 9.000,000 of the 24.0UU,OUO of American bread winners are engaged iu manu facturing, miulna and mechanical pur suits and in transportation and trade; and that these 0,000,000 artisans earn 18,000,000,000 of the $10,0011,000,090 an nually earned by the American people, t tie address truly continues: Not merely the wages of those engaged in manufacturing have l u seriously re duced by this panic of labor, bat in one form and another the injury resulting from the effort of the Deinocratiu party to fasten foreign or liritish free trade upon this once prosperous people, lias or will ultimately extend to all who live by daily work. The actual loss to the people up to date lias simply been apal liiig, anil unless soon checked will bring Still further loss aud desolation to ovurv one of the 19,000,000 homes of tho Repub lic, a in pet cent, reduction or unseam ing power means an nuuual loss to the nation of ILO0XL000,00u; a 90 per cent, re dnotioa of fi.O'jO, 000,000. Here we make no nllowanco for lca result iug from shrinkage of values. The nulls, the fac tories, the workshops, tho machin ery will he here, to be sure, but half of their value will, with half the wages of those employed, be gone if the Wilson bill shall become a law. Astounding as it may appear, the sum to tal of the nation's loss, in shrinkage of value, reduction of wages. Iota of employ meat and In a fourfold increase of liabili ties in bankruptcy, has nlresdy exceeded the assessed valuation of all the property of the thirteen southern states, as shown by the census of 1S!W it9,800.oOO,OO0). The loss in earnings aluim is already equal to the wiping out of every dollar on deposit iu the savings bauks of the country at the close of the last, Republican administra tion, when the nation had reached the noon-day sun of its prosperity. The im pending ruin which the people of the Uni ted States are facing at this uiomont is not a bankers' panic, it is not a manufacturers' panic, it is not a railroad panic, it is cot a farmers' panic, but a labor panic which ruus through every vein and every artery of our body politic, vitiating and paralyz ing tho life currents of a prosperous nation and sappii.g the stamina of the people. In the further language of this ad dress, "whatever doubt may have been entertained six mouths ago as to the cause of the torriblu depnssioa in every branch of business, aud universal suffering in consequence of lack of em ployment and reduced wages in every gainfnl occupation, there can be but one cause now. For a generation tho nation has eujoyed the fruits of a pro tective policy, which has encouraged industry, stimulated the development of our resources, expanded internal commerce, built vatt systems of trans portation, foiterel valuable home mar kets and placed Amerieau labor in all its brunches on a higher plane than the labor of any other nation in the world. Under the protectivo system the earn ings of those engage 1 in gainful occupations of all kinds have been fully double the amount of the earnings In similar occupations by the most fa vored European countries, while the cost of living on the aarus plane has been no more. The recordt of three decades prove that agriculture, manu facturing, ruining, commerce, both in ternal and foreign, und trade, have all kept stop in the grand march of na tional progress. Having; enjoyed this prosperity; having been afforded theae opportunities to earn more, to spend more aud to save more, than tbeir for eign rivals; a free trade policy is now proposed by the Democratic party which will bring the ptople engaged in all classes of occupation iu tha Uuitad States, into cloier competition with thote engaged iu similar occupations in Europe; which will reduce AlUr icnu wngta and the American stand nrd of living to the standard of European countries; which will, even if we should be able under tho new or dorof things to retaiu our houniuir kets, by cutting down wages, reduce the value of those markets, as already shown, by curtailing the purchasing power. Look at it from any point pos sible, and the one plain, undeniable fact presents itself, that the proposi tion to revolutionize our tariff system, to overturn principles as deeply im bedded iu onr form of government as the constitution itself, is the underly Inn fundamental causs of the deep shadow of depression which casts its gloom over our land today.'' It is time to halt this havoc. It is time to stop tho furious onrush of tho Democratic chevaliers to the brink of national panic. It is time to releirate the theorists and the dostructionists to their nrooer and deserved obscurity. It is lime to ind the carnival which fiddles and dances while the hope of the na tion burns low. At the RECENT Harrisbitrg meeting of the Pennsylvania State Elitorial us lOOlation it was decided to amend the constitution so ns to xclude ''mere re porters." It would be interesting to know how many so-called editors be longing to this organisation would, under n strict enforcement of this pro vision, be bowled out into tho outer gloom. Wo cannot believe that the rank and file of Pennsylvania editors assent to this inexplicable discrimina tion, It will certainly be a sorry day in journalism when the hard, patient and brainy labor rxpended by the men who gather news shall be regarded as deserving only of contempt. t 'Ic eland's second term has already Wlf the country more than the entire cost of the war for the suppression ofslacery. Is it worth the price? VIEWED in the Throng. Chief Clerk Peter N. tlinter, of the internal revenue office iu this city, is probably tho least disturbed of nny of ficial about the establishment over the contemplated changei iu the clerical force Mr. tiuter has been in tiie office seventeen years. Ho was appointed doring the Grant administration and lir.ii sei .ed under Collector C. E Brun ner. He has been continuously in the service during the changes that have followed, anil has assisted In transfer ring the office) upon seven different col lectors. Mr. Ginter is probably tho best informod official upon matters pertaining to the internal revenue de partment in the state, and no new col lector can afford to dispense with his services. John Willard Raught, the well known artist, whoje collection of paint ings attracted so much attention at Stewart's art gallery during the holi days, will rett'rn to New Y'ork city In afewdsys. Mr. RiUghtM effarts ran k nigh in Gotham art circles, and his work is rapidly gaining distinction. Many of his most charming landscapes are from studies madein tho vicinity of Fieotvillo, this county, whero Mr. Raught spent the last auminr. The artist exp'cts to return to Fleetville next Beuson and make other studies of the delightful subjects that are to bo found at every hand in that locality. Collector Penman will seek rest and recreation iu sunny Florida for a sea sou upon his retirement from the reve nue office, Mr. Penman Is of the opin ion that it will ba cooler in tho land of the tropic3 than about the revenue of fice when business operations between Collector Herring and the local Demo cratic leaders are well under way. Ml This paragraph of personal mention is taken from yesterday's Philadelphia Times; Dr. Allen Norton Lsete. just resigned from the editorial manage ment of the ScraNTON Tribune, is a city visitor previous to taking up a new labor for a New York firm, by w'lich helms engaged to prepare a series or papers descriptive of the dis tinctive features of the anthracite coal held for a leading magazine. Dr. Ltete has been twenty five years an editor, und his place on THE TRIBUNE has been filled by the appointment of Livy S. Richard, a keen, capable und interesting writer aud a man of rare executive ability. Dr. Leete has re turned to Surantou and will soon begin his literary work, .
