Senator Penrose comes to the front as new and imposing factor io the , politics of state and nation. He has been hindered in public appreciation throughout i lie state, and in broaden ing his creditable intellectual force, by his absorption in the local politi cal conflicts uf our city. But called 'o,he highest political position of the yJa'wv, with every incentive and ev ery needed ability to attain distiuc- 1 kiir-,.itivi IO Jibuti UUUUt llltti. 110 Will tt.xtl t n a a I m .4 .... I. . I Ml take high rank as a respected and ef fective Senator He will enter the Senate on March 4 next to qualify as the youngest member ever called to represent Pennsylvania in that great tribunal; and with a reasonable pros pect of extended public service, it is not to be expected that he could fail to impress himself upon his state and upon the country at large as a na tional legislator. He is young, ardent, ambitious and able, and with a field open to him that covers the entire great republic, there is every reason to assume that he will do hon or to himself an to the state be is to represent. From the Philadelphia Evening Item. Mr. Penrose who is to be advanced from the Pennsylvania to the United States senate, bad before him a great opportunity. He will bring to that body an infusion of young blood, and bis course as a Pennsylvania law- mfllTAr rftlBOQ ilia flvnBAlDl!.H I I ... . l. v Viir prove one of the roost active and aggresive members of the national senate. Mr. Penrose is an American in all things, and the Item predicts that he will make a splendid home rule record to Washington. Logic. -Ve want no idle men in the United States, we want no idle mills in the United States; and to the end that we may have neither idle mills nor idle men we must do our work in the United States and not outside the United States. William McKinley. Under free-trade our work is done outside the United States. That is the very essence of the free-trade idea. The sole of the demand for the removal of protective duties is the gainiug of better opportunities for buying goods abroad. The free traders prefer to patronize foreign rather than American producers. They want a national policy which will permit them to do this with the greatest advantage to themselves and to their foreign friends. They want no barriers in the way, whether those barriers conduce to the prosperity of the masses of the people or not. There coo be but one result of such a policy. There is no deep process of reasoning needed here. To buy abroad is to have our work done out ride the the United States. If our work is done outside the United States the workmen in this country have loss work to do. Less work means idle rneu aud idle mills. This is simple reason and it has been our ex perience. Consul Claude Meeker should work up another fake from Bradford, for the free trade papers are lamenta bly short of arguments agaiust the restoration af protection. "The Indnttrr nf the Sheriff." What a glorious ring in the closing 8?nlcnce of the denunciation of the Republican policy of protection had in the Democratic Naitonal platform of 1802. After pronouncing Repub lican protection to be a fraud and a robbery of the many for the beuefit of the few, then denouncing the Mc Kinley law as "the culminating atro city of class legislation," it rounded up with the following: "We denounce a policy which fos ters no industry in much as it does that of the therifT." We can imagine the self-satisfaction that beamed upon the writer of the Democratic tariff plank of 1802 as he laid down bis pen and sat back in his chair and smiled. Heedless was he, as was his fellow Democrats who cried, "Down with the industry of the Sheriff!" when tbey went about tho couutry lying about the price of the poor man's dinner pail heedless were they that a day of reckoning would surely come. Per haps, if tbey gave thought to tbs future at all, it wus with a degree of assurance that events would prove them in the right. Many Democrats who had been in short panla or petti coats during our last experience with free-trade some three decades ago were bold enough to take the stump in 1802 and promise more work and better wages to all voters who would help boost the Democratic party in to power. But, thanks to our com mercial agencies, we are enabled to stur'y the "iodustry of the sheriff" and give the result as taken from Bradstrect'g : No. of Amount of Year failures liabilities. 1800 10,073 $175,022,8.16 18iil 12,H 177,000 18!2 10,270 108,595,248 1'3 ?.:m 402,427,8 1 8 ISiU 12,721 14i,55,4;W 8! 13,013 158,842,445 1SMH l.i,112 247,052,343 ANNUAL AVKRAOK. 1800-P2 11,112 $l.-,!31,fl!Ci 1W3-SW 14,102 239,470,.'.10 If the Republican party fostered uo industry -bo much as it did that of the sheriff from 1800 to 1802, it must certainly haul down its colors before the subsequent record of Democracy. Duriug the last three years of Presi dent Harrison's administration the average of trade failures was 11,112, with annual average liabilities amounting to ei58,031,(i05, or $14, 300 of liabilities to every concern that failed. But the Democrats promised to do greater things than the Republicans ever thought of, and iu the matter of trade failures they achieved greatuess iu entirely over looking their denunciation of "the industry of the sheriff." Their aver- ago number of trade failures shows record of 14,102 a year, with annual liabilities averagiug $230,470,510, or $18,000 of liabilities to every con cern that failed. During the Democratic administra tion there has been, in rouod num bers, an increase of 3,000 trade fail ures every year, of $80,000,000 of liabilities every year, and the average of liabilities has increased by $3,000 to each concern. Tbis last point shows that the Democratic party has succeeded in hittiug the "robber bar rons" below the bell because many larger businesses must have succum bed under the continued onslaught of Democracy upon American industry. Let the Republican party lower its banner and meekly give place to the emblem of Democracy, floating be fore the breeze, upon which we read their proud device : "We denounce a policy which fos ters any industry so much as it does that of thn sheriff." American Econ omist. It is clear enough that people don't know what they're eating nowadays, for the name of any viand by no means describes its composition. In a recent address by Hon. Frank Moore special agent for tbe Pure Food Commission, delivered at Al toona, he exhibited a sample of bak ing soda, obtained from an Altoooa grocer, which was 80 per cent, plaster of Paris. This he said was an ordi nary sample. He showed red pepper adulterated with 50 per ceut. red oak dust and 25 per cent, powdered hick ory nut shucks; and black pepper made up of 40 per per cent, buck wheat hulls, 40 per cent, powdered cocoanut shells and 20 per ceut. pep per. Samples of adulterated alspice, syrup, coffee and honey were also ex hibited. Most of these adulterations are probably not harmful, but it's sad to think how our stomachs are bun coed from infancy to old age. About tiOO.OOO trees are planted annually by the school childreu of Sweden. While tbe latlc is looked upon as au enjoymeut, it effects on the future prosperity of the country will be of high importance. One of the things that the Repub lican party proposes to do fur the restoration of good times is to substi tute a debt-aiminishing for a debt-in- creasing policy in the manageuieut of tbe national finances.
