The July Clear
ance SaJe
Began Monday, July 12.
Our Greatest Lowering and
Stock Reducing Event.
A period of value giving with parallel in this city.
Clearance here means the complete closing out of many
lines of seasonable goods a clearing of counters, shelves, show
cases and tables of summer merchandise. No half-hearted or
hall-way measures are permitted at this store. The edict has
gone forth to all department heads to sell no matter how great
a sacrifice is necessary to clear the decks.
The price drop is deep and decisive imperative and ur
gent. The backward spring caused assortments to be greater
than they should be at this time. Hence the prices are cut
lower than usual to quickly clear away these stocks.
All who value thrift and apprecirtc economy will welcome
matchless savings on needed and seasonable goods. This sale
will be a crowd bringer and great rewards will result to every
purchaser. Don't fail to attend this sale and judge for yourself
how truly extraordinary thse values are.
Our sole purpose is clearance cost and profit are no long
er things to be considered. The goods must sell, and sell they
will to the lively tune of quick stepping prices. Read all the
items, they point the ww to the greatest savings you ever had
the opportunity of sharing in. Early shopping is advisable,
first choice is best.

The tariff bill nenrs completion and
the indications are that it will receive
the signature of President Taft sev
eral weeks before the time for the
Betting in of fall trade, leaving noth
ing to stand in the way of the re
newed period of prosperity go long
anticipated. The bill is now in con
ference committee having been sent
there by the House by a vote of l'ti
to 151, after its passage in the Senate
by a vote of 45 to 34. The bill as
passed by the Senate carries 847
amendments made by that body to
the measure as it was originally re
ceived from the Houbc.
If any industry In the United Statra
has bpen halted because of a fear that
some duty In the Payne-Aldrlch bill,
as the measure will hereafter be
known, might be fixed at too high n
rate it Is new in position to know Just
how high that duty can go at the out
side. On the other hand, if any manu
facturer has hesitated until he was
assured Just how low a rate might
be decided on for his product he now
knows the worst, for now that the
tariff bill has reached the conference
stage no rate may be arranged from
this time on that will be lower or
higher thau the limit fixed either in
the House or the Senate. In other
words, the worst that can happen is
determined, and so Is the best, and
the ultimate rates will be within the
lines thus drawn.
Two of Pennsylvania's most protnl
nent men are members of the confer
ence committee Senator Boies Ten'
rose and Representative John Dalzell
With this representation members of
the Pennsylvania congressional dele
gation confidently predict that the
manufacturers of the Keystone state
will be fully protected and that they
will be satisfied with the measure the
committee will report back to the
House and Senate.
As a member of the finance conr
mittee Senator Penrose was able to
Increase drastic reductions In the
Dlngley rates adopted by the House.
Senator Penrose's friends have re
peatedly congratulated him upon the
splendid record he made during the
deliberations of the Senate on this
new tariff measure. Mr. Penrose'
vigilance In the Interest of the Penn
sylvania manufacturer and laboring
man was never relaxed for an Instant
from the time the bill wns reported
to the Senate until it wn finally
passed by that body. One of the last
amendments agreed to was offered
by the senior Pennsylvania Senator
and It was one that Insures protec
tion to an Important branch of the
Iron and steel industry of this Com
monwealth. Increasing as It does the
duty on fish plates used In railroad
construction.
That both Senator Penrose and Mr.
Dnlzoll should be in the conference
by reason of their special knowledge
of the matters that will be In dispute
between the two houses and because.
also, of their proved ability to deal
with Important questions, cannot he
successfully challenged. The finance
and ways and means committees, of
which they are members, nre the two
principal committees of Congress. Ap
pointment to one or the other Is
recognition of special fitness. High
rank on either Is evidence of ability
of the firRt class. In Congress the
natural law of the survival of the
fittest works with less check than In
almost any other field that might be
mentioned. Leadership is won only
by those equipped to lead. The two
Pennsylvanians referred to occupy the
positions they do In each branch of
Congress, because they have earned
them. Their right to be in the con
ference cannot be questioned, there
fore, for any except reasons of geog
raphy or opposition to Pennsylvania
Interests. It will be reassuring to
rennsylvanlans to have Senator Pen
rose and Representative Dalzell in
the conference. They, with others of
this state in the House and Senate,
have prevented a threatened absolute
slaughter of the interests of this com
monwealth. In the final process of
perfection of the tariff bill they will
be able to safeguard what has been
preserved against the attacks of the
Middle West, the head and front of
adverse sentiment and action.
In the minds of many people, ap
parently, It Is still a very much vexed
question as to whether the new meas
ure is a genuine compliance with the
spirit of the Chicago platform. Just
now the answer to that suggestion de
pends upon the point of view. One
careful analysis demonstrates that,
though the bill as It went from the
Senate embraces 847 amendments and
carries many increases as compared
with its provisions when reported by
the House, there t a revision down
ward all along the line as contrasted
with the Dignley rates. That being
the case the Republican party has net
been recreant to its own declarations
of last year nor defiant of the wishes
of President Taft, unsustained charges
to the contrary notwithstanding. Nat
urally the Democrats are making
much of this phase of the situation
and are threatening and predicting
all manner of dlsnster to the Repub
lican party. They have done this be
fore, however, and have ever failed to
realize their hopes and ambitions. It
is not to be expected that the new
bill will stand as It passed the Senale.
Doubtless there will bo some disap
pointments when finally the presi
dent's signature is aflixed to it, but
on the whole it will he a workable
measure to which the business of the
cpuntry will speedily adjust Itself.
Senator Aldrlch has announced that
the monetary commission appointed
more than a year ago expects to mako
a report at the coming regular session
of Congress. This Is good news. It
is much better that Mr. Aldrlch had
stricken out of the tariff bill the
House provision for more Panama
canal bonds. This Indicate that tho
coming measure Is to be a radical one
and that I what the country wants.
We have had so much currency tink
ering In the past 4"i years thnt it I
high time the country got a new start
with a clean sheet. Mr. Aldrlch has
announced thnt he wishes to make
the new currency bill his legislative
monument and has also Indicated that
he would like to make It his valedic
tory. Doubtless many persons nre dis
satisfied with his management of the
tariff bill. No such bill ever got
through without leaving much heart
burning In Its wake. But If there Is
an Aldrlch currency bill that Is on a
sound basis It will be a monument
which any legislator might envy. It
Is encouraging to know thnt It is soon
to be before the public.

lican state convention are to be for

New Use For Wheelbarrow.
Mrs. 7,ella Nuttall, the archaeologist,
was making some excavations In Mex
ico. The Indians were removing tho
earth some distance from the point of
excavation In the customary manner
thnt Is, on a piece of coarse cloth tied
between two poles, stretcher fashion,
carried by two Indians This method
seemed rather laborious to Mrs. Nut
tall, so she ordered several Iron wheel
barrows from the city. When they
nrrlved she turned them over to the
foreman after explaining to him what
they were for and how to use them.
Next day when she visited the work
the Indians had discarded their primi
tive pnrlhuelns and were using the
bright new wheelbarrows. As each
barrow was filled with earth It was
picked up by two Indians, one'iislng
the handles and the other the wheel,
and carried to the place where the
earth was to be deposited. All efforts
to get the Indians to use the wheel
barrows properly failed, and they kept
on carrying them until the work was
finished.
