Tm: Carnegie C-iiiipany have made
a rtil of fifteen jht cent, in the wajres
of their workmen, to take ellV-ct with
the new year. A similar reduction in
wa-s was made shortly afterthe Dem
ocratic panic eanie upon us. The Sher
man hill has lecu repealed ; the Dem
ocratic tariiF is in full svvinr, and the
workmen who were told that under a
I k-mocratic administration their waues
vou'id lie increased, have liven reduciil
to the mve-s-iiy of accepting a vM of
thirty jkt cent, in their daily eamiugy.
II avinu repealed the tariff enacted
by the Ilepuhlieaiis, and thereby pro

reduction in a;rcs, this Democratic

C.ires are in, will probably reach ll,.Viii,
. Tli Philadelphia t'rf wliieb gathereil
tic lijpires, iiiskes some vnr aupgestive
oemuents thereon. The first gtrikiug
fort is the ni of the vte. Ther were
1 L,i!,377 iKillola cast aiid nmuted. as com
pared with the 1.M,h vast and counted
in the presidential ehtlion of lS;ii This
is ihe largest vote evr in u ff
yt-ar, the falling off from the vole of two
years ago Iwing only fc;i,su This is suf
fieint to show bow profoundly iuteriwted
the people were in the election, and to
lisprtve any claim that the result was
due to indifference.
Another significant feature of the re
turns is the great increase of the Ite
puhlican vote over l-i In that year the
total Itepubliean vote was 5,17.,itl, while
this year the Bepuhliiiui vote Ls 5.5s.-s,3LS
an increase of 41-tt it. This large increase
in party's vote in an off year over the
vote the same party east in the previous
presidential election is probably unupie
in American political hist ry. In the
weeps f
EL
rm '
p-il jo
swell increase was apparent. Tlu fieunv
craiie victories were due i:i Isjth rases t-i
a falling off in the lSepubliem vote. Put
this year the Pt-pubiii-.tii viitory is due
t-t a Urge increase in the P.epubliean vote
the party having cast not only the
largest vote it ever h.1!c.1, lmt also hav
ing cast the larRet vote ever H!lod by
any party in this coin-try at any election
ever held.
This year the KepuMieans cast 3-1. Hi
more vot.-s than the Itetu.s rals did when
they elected Cleveland, and they have a
plurality over the Jtoniocrats of l.t ,sTo,
and only lack l.7i; votes of having a
popular majority. The D.-uckt its polled
only per cent of the total vote two
years ago, and called that a great popu
lar indorsement. The Kepublicam have
just s-lle 1 almost ler -nt of the vote,
and can justly claim the highest measure
of approval ever accorded to any party.
With a fair election in the South the
total Itepubliean vote would have Iwn
over (i.Ono.OH. and the lb-publican plural
ity over the Democratic vote would have
lieen nearly io.iM'
The big majorities wero noticeable
features iu someof the states. Pennsyl
vania heads the list with a Hepublieau
plurality cxt-eding J .'. New York,
Ohio, Illinois and Michigan each gave
over lmi.iMl Republican plurality. In Mas
sachusetts, V.'isi-oiisin, Minnesota and
Iowa the Republican plurality exeeedi-1
.Vi.uit, while in New Jersey and Indiana it
fell but a few thousand U-l-.w this tigurw.
The vote would have shown better for the
Republicans had not tho opisisition in
several states ljeen eotif:ilratjd on the
Republican ea:ij;lates fir governor
rather than on mcuilfrs of e-mrcss. Tho
loss from this cause in Miniu-ota, Ne
braska and California Is n,i down at !.(
vots. The i';-t. concludes its ci;iiari
son in these worlds : "The vote, impel !"ct
as it is, shows that the election of this
year was the most tremendous political
upheaval this country ever witnessed.
There is no parallel lo iu The voters rose
in their might and sni"te the lc!iicra--y
hip and thigh, and literally massacred its
hojieof future preferment. They also
placed on record their -condemnation of
the ridiculous incapacity and puerile
blundering of the present administration
at Washington, an administration thit
begin its car.-er wiih such jtoinpms
lamations of prop-sed r-jlorins. IT any

ArrcedUiaa iy tha SiVs Tax Cosferiace at
slate lax coiiferetK-c, w hich has
lieen gathering data fir thiee years fr
the purjtoso. of fniming a l.i!I that will
opialize taxation, l.a.l an inletesting and
animated locelTCg ;in Harrisburg last
week. The measure ".vhicii ih'-y proposo
is now almost ready for pr-sentatio;j to
the legislature, but the members of tho
conference are very reticent wiiii reg.ird
to it, and refuse to divulge its provisions
until all the amendments made are iu
conorated iu the printed bill. From
v. hat all the reporters have gathered, j
however, it may l stat .-it that tho pro
psed law is of a very moderate and con
servative character, giving undoubted
relief, it is said, to tlnr-i who hear tiie
burdens of local taxation, but at t he same
time dealing fairly and e-piitahly with
the manufacturing, transportation and
other corporate interests of the dale. If
enacted as it now stands all of the state
tax or money at interest ami vehicles for
hire will be turned over t the counties
instead of only throe-fourth of it as at
present. The mercantile tax and tax on
writs an I f-es of the county othc.-ra v. iil
also go to ihe ooa.i'.y treasury instead of
into the state treasury.
This will amount to several thousand
dollars per annum in the county of Som
erset, and in the state at l.irg? will re-nil
iu a million dollars ln-ing diverted from
tiio stato treasury for the relief of local
taxation.
In addition to this ail county taxi are
taken off h ie.i and cattle, and that class
of por-otiid property is ma lo subject in
townships t-i sch'H-1 and r tad taxes only,
a:;d i:l Inroitghs to school and borough
taxes only. The important changes made
in !nr-lhids of taxing corporations aro a
tol tows: l n) levying a mmag'a raio oi
taxi.tioii on ih.u valua of oompaiiic in
stead of a Lix on capital st.x-k and on
ltonds hold in the state and on gross re
ceipts if a trauMtorta'doit and tr.msmis-.-;ioil
c )npa!iy. At i mill under the new
bill it i estitiiated that the tax;.- on these
orporations iu lsiL whi'Tl this bill i-ouies
into effect, wiil be the same as iu l-s;i, 1
1 .v ir.g lot'iing for the natural increase
in srporatious and the improvements iu
values, wdiich it is hoped will add atb-ast
lit per C!it. to ihe roi-e:p!s. or s.Vl".,iHi.
The option incorporated banks now have
of paying s mills on the par value of their
stock is abolished and ail are taxed alike
at i mills en actual value, which will, it
is estimated, increase tho revenue s'.M.uo.
A tax of t mills is also loviu t on tlpi (Msh
premiuiii of mutual insurance compa
nies ; a lax of Jin miil on va!m of stock
of building and loaii ass-,e;."tloiis ; lax

RHEUMATISM PREVALENT,
Cansel By the Svdien ChiBgei of Ism
perctture.
Riirtiiiiatisui is more prevalent h--re
than ever l -fore. Whcu this disease f:ist
eiis upon an individual with Its orciiess
and pain, swelling the joinis, rendering
Iiim lielples in bis movements, he is in
died an object of pity. Tlie slight pain
in tin; b.v.-k, joint or muscles, is a warn
ing indication of an im;ovcrished condi
tion of the blood, and if not attended to
at once, means rheumatism.
Since, the introduction of Dr. David
Kennedy's Favorite Remedy, there have
'.Ken fewer rheumatic sufferers. Favor
ito Remedy drives out rheumatic poison
from the hi. tod, restores the circulation,
strengthens the nervo power. The lest
proof of it.s value, is the g .d it ha done.
' I v as alllieted with inilamuiatory
rheumatism for fifttH-n year, writes Mr.
F. P. T iyer, if F,ist Nassa, N. V., "so
severe that I w .is supjHised to lie a crip
ple for lifo. Und-T physieiaas treatment
I grew wmms. Dr. Kennedy's favorite
Remedy helped me from the time I first
used it, and entirely cured me."
Tiie iieuji:;',! daughter if Mr. James
?.IeFarlaud, of Dc. Moines, la., was help
les for months with sci-.it ie rheumatism.
After a few doses of Dr. Kennedy's Fav
orite Remedy, she li"gan to grow better,
and continuing ji use was cured.
.Mr. (i. Lansing, f T.ny, ,N. Y., liad
rheumatism m ba-l thai he had to l.e
tnruol over in lied. After using Dr.
Kennedy's Fav orilo Remedy bill a t-iiort
while, was rc-siored t-i heallh. Why then
suffer with rheumatism or neuralgia?
Tha medicine wiii help you.
