It only cost $50,000 to show Red Cloud

Prussia, by a protective policy, has bro't
herself to the front of Europe. Americans
disposed to listen to the misrepresentations
of free traders should bear this in mind.
It is said that the fact that the World
newspaper and the Democratic party sym

The "refotm" movement in Allegheny
county is fast losing what few adherents it

The way to cancel our indebtednes to
Europe of $2,000,000,000, and pave the
way to a safe and permanent resumption, is
by developing each day and each year a
more thoroughly diversified industry.
The only reason for calling the Democrats
in Virginia "Conservatives" is the aversion
of the old Whig element of the State, which
once represented its aristocracy and repec
tability, to that "hated plebian title."
The Democratic party came into being as
the opponents of British influence and Brit
ish institutions. To-day its leaders are
swayed by British influence, and are stri
ving to bring about free trade, for the ben
efit of British manufacturers.
A large Florida planter, a Democrat, who
bas some four hundred negro hands em
ployed, constituting a majority of the voters
in his county, has agreed with bis laborers
to support one of them for Representative,
they in turn to support hint for Senator,
"Sich is Democracy."
The French government having refused
to exempt from capture, during the exis
tence of the present difficulties between that
country and Prussia, the North German
steamers, the Post Office Department finds
it necessary to transmit all foreign mails by
way of England, and has issued a circular
notifying the public of this arrangement.
A. W. Taylor, Esq., of Indiana, is the
nominee of the Republicans of Indiana,
Westmoreland and Fayette counties, for
Congress. Mr. Taylor is very popular in
in his own county, and will, no doubt, be
triumphantly elected over Foster, the Dem
ocratic candidate. Covod knocked the
noise out of Foster in the last contest in that
district.
An exchange says : The Democratic pa
pers are ridiculing Sheridan's going to Eu
rope to ee how war is waged there. Tho?e
fellows never did like Little Phil's manner
of making war, and always considered it
very "unscientific" in him to rida down the
Shenandoah Valley, slaying and capturing
J ubal Early's armed men, and dc ablating
the regions so that rebels could no longer
find a comfortable living there while bat tling
against the Uuion. Ton honor it is too
tad that Gen. Grant should give the deli
cate duty of learning how to make war to a
successful General like Sheridan, instead of
to a "scientific" failure like McClellan, who
needs the knowledge so much more. '
The "Whits Man's Party," Eh ?
The Clarion Democrat of July 23d, 1870,
soys :
"The Radical papers advocate the manu
facture of voters out of the yellow pig tail
pagans, in order to deprive the white labor
ing men of America of their rights and po
sition in society. The working men of the
country will make the White Man s Party
so strong at the hallot box, that the Radi
cal leaders will be left with none but the
Chinese and niggers to follow the bondhol
ders and motr-yed aristocrats who have long
U-en ruling and ruluiiig the country."
The above is a specimen of the clap trap
nonsense, now-a-days published by the
small fry Democratic papers, with the in
tent of deceiving theie readers. The Re
publicans are in favor of naturalizing for
eigus, under proper restrictions, in accord
ance with the Constitution and laws of the
United States, as the only way to "manu
facture voters" while the Deuiociacy "man
ufacture" them by fraud and perjury, im
mediately upon their landing on our shores.
The difference is obvious. But, while such
narrow minded creatures as the editor of
Democrat constantly howl "yellow pig tail
pagans" and "niggers," we occasionally
find one in their party of more "honorable"
and enlarged v'ews, being more radical evsn
than the '"Radicals." Of" this class jis the
Selinegrove Times, as will be seeu from the
following extracts from that paper:
"It has been said that we hated the ne
gro. The evidences of social life in every
community disprove this charge, for on all
hides the negro meets with as good treat
ment from democrats as from others, and
there are but few negroes who will not ad
mit this themselves. . . . Why should
any man hate a negro? There may be men
with' Seauts so obdurate as to have no
sympathy for any being, and such men will
of course hale a negro ; but we are sure that
ALU good MEN have nofeeliugof animosity
against the negro simply because he is a
negro. This mouLl be barbarous, indeed.
No honorable political opponent will make
such a charge, for no sane man capable of a
moment's reflection, believes it. The men
who charge and repeat the falsehood do uot
believe it themselves.
Here we have the statement of a Demo
cratic paper that "the evidences of social
" life in every community disprove the
" charge" that Democrats hate the negroes
and that the negroes receive the best of
"treatment from Democrats" an acknowl
edgement that no "Radical" will gainsay,
for, we presume, the Times is well posted
as to the "social" affinities existing between
Democrats and "niggers," and hence its
admission of the fact. And yet, this Dem
ocratic party professes to be the "White
-Man's party 1" O, consistency! but thou
art a jewel (?) in the hands of the Democ
racy. Mr. Democrat, had you not better begin
to reform the admitted "social" evils in the
Democrat! iousehold, instead of misrepre
senting the plainly expressed opinions of
the "Radicals?" The former, certainly,
would prove more beneficial to society at
large, than the latter.
The Prea Traders at Work.
Large sums of money whether it be for
eign gold or gold of the New York impor
ters is now bsing used in Pennsylvania and
all over the country to advance the interests
of the free-trade movement. To show that
this is a fact, we give the following extract
from the Free Trader, a paper published
in the interest of the opponents of a pro
tective tariff. The J-'ree Trader says : '
"One of our agents traveling in Pennsyl
vania, that great citadel of protection,
writes: I have been on the road nine days,
and have canvassed thoroughly three town
ships and one small borough. I have dis
tributed one thousand documents, and the
people receive them with much satisfaction.
I am doing the work thoroughly, and am
determined to visit every neighborhood. So
Ur my effort is a success, and I believe
much good will flow from it. The seed I
am sowing roots readily and must have its
influence. I find both Republicans and
Democrats glad to see me, expressing gene
rally a strong tendency in favor of a
change.' "
This fully indicates the kind of means be
ing used. Crafty, oily tongued agents are
canvassing the whole country by townships,
trying to stir up dissatisfaction by whatever
reckless statements may prove to have the
desired effect. The less intelligent people,
no doubt can be persuaded by these falsifiers
of facts that they pay too much tax, and it
is one of the most common weaknesses of
humanity, to be "in favor of a change."
The intelligent, reading portion of the coun
try, however, can not be deceived by these
"wolves in sheep's clothing." But what
are the protectionists doing? Are they at
work trying to counteract the bad feed that
is being sowed by the free traders? If not,
they must go to work at once ! The inter
ests of the country demand this at their
bauds.
Minority Convention. On July 13th,
the "Republican State Central Committee
representing Republican minority i-ounties "
met at the Girard House, Philadelphia, to
take some action in reference to minority
representation in legislative bodies. The
committee appointed for that purpose have
now issued a call for a convention to be held
at Reading on the I.-t day of August, to
consider the subject more fully the dele
Kates to be in the proportion of two to each
member of the lower House of the Legisla
ture ; provided that each county be repre
sented by at least one delegate. The ques
tion is one that finds many advocates, and
worthy of some attention. Whether any
move in that direction will be made in this
county, remains to be seen. We will pub
lish the call of the committee, next week.

Contracting and Paying State Debts.
Financially there is this distinguishing
difference between the Democratic and .Re
publican parties : The former are good at
contracting, the latter at paying debts.
When the Republicans came into power in
the Northern (free) States in 1800-61, they
found them, almost without exception, bur
dened with debts through Democratic ex
travagance and mismanagement, and they
have been practicing economy and exerting
all their financial skill since then to pay
them off or reduc them within reasonable
limits. In this they have so far succeeded
that their merits as prudent administrators,
economists aud financiers is generally ac
knowledged by even their candid political
opponents.
T.i tellinir sr-eech at Terre Haute last
Af,wlv. Senator Morton made a striking
comparison of the management of the State
finances in Indiana before and since the act
vent of the Republican party to power in
1861. suowinz the legacy of Democratic
debt which the Republicans have completely
extinguished. Here is the Senator s state
ment of the significant facts as they appear
iu record :
V-nm tl.o firat rf .fllll.' 1819. tO the first

reduced in all that time only ao.uw. ah
a nvrtfitiin.-l no:iiw. when taxes were
all the time levied to pay our State debt, it
ouly reduced during those eight years $4S5,
U00. But from the first of Jauuary, 1857,
to the first of Jaiuary, 1801, when the Re
publican party came into power, the btate
debt was increased over $-2,00O,OOO, as
shown by the records of the Auditor of the
Sf.jto I thinl- 5k was in the neighborhood
of two millions aud a quarter that the debt

said: "Weil, suppose tms nepuuueau

be sure we did. We are not sleight-of-hand
gentlemen. We don t claim that we have
found out the way to pay the State debt or
the National debt, without costing anybody
anything. No, we tax the people fir it,
but the beauty ot it is that v.e applied an
the money to the payment of the debt.
Applause. Not a dollar of it was squan
dered ; every cent of it was faithfully ap-
r hed.
In Pennsylvania we bad a Democratic debt
of S41.000.0UO. or thereabout, which has
been reduced several millions since the ad
ministration fell into Republican hands.

The French-Prussian War.
The daily papers, for a week past, have
been filled with cable despatches relating to
the war between France and Prussia. They
are merely a mass of rumors, but are an in
dex of the state of feeling existing in those
countries, and, in fact throughout Europe.
No actual hostilities have,. an yet, occurred.
The reported gobbling up of several hun
dred French soldiers scot out to rcconnoiter
at Forbach turns out to have amounted
merely to an exchange of shots between a
Prussian and French officer. The naval
battle off Hague was merely the trial of
some guns at a coast fortress. So it will be
for a time. Still, these telegrams are a
reflex of the excited feeling in Europe, and
embody the speculations which are accepted
for a few hours as facts. It is simply im
possible thai there should be any battle, or
even important skirmish for several diys.
The drift of the news shows that forces are
being conceutrated on the frontiers, and
that b ith France and Prussia are actively at
work ascertaining the feelings of the other
great powers in Europe. As soon as these
preliminaries are settled, and the forces
massed, fighting will no doubt commence in
earnest, unless a compromise can be effected
in the mean time, of which there are no in
dications at present. The conflict, once
begun, it is likely to be a desperate and long
struggle, in which probably all Europe will
become involved.
A Nut lor Low Tariffites.
The free traders in their efforts to break
down American industry stop at nothing
which will in the least urge forward their
ends. One of their standing arguments is
the immense profit resulting from the pur
suit of the industries which the wisdom of
Congress fosters by a rotective tariff. The
Lawrence Journal, published in the county of
that Dame, in the western part of this Slate,
in a region abounding in coal and iron, and
affording every facility for the cuccessful
operation of the iron business, after refer
ring to the existing dullness which has clos
ed many manufactories and furnaces in its
neighborhood, says :
Our own "Lawrance Iron Works"-one of
the most complete roiling mills in the country
-has been standing for nearly two years
with coal and metal laying iu abundance at
our very doors, aud numerous workmen wai
ting impatiently till it may fesume opera
tions. If there is so large a margin in the
iron business as is renresented l,v t.lm fr-e-
trade intercut, why so much capital invested
in idle machinery? The fact is that the in
terest ot the whole country demands a higher
tariff, and we must send men to Congress
who will stand up and combat and defeat
any faction which may oppose so desirable
a measure.
The devilish spirit of Kukluxism is by no
means extinct in the -South. In Gibson
county, Tennesee one of the worst outrages
yet reported occurrend a short time since.
A gang of the masked marauders, supposed
to be six in number, surprised several color
ed families in theirteds, and, after shoot
ing and mercilessly beating the men, shame

Several of the colored men were seriously
if not fatally shot The only hopeful aspects
of the case, however, are the facts that the
authorites promptly arrested such of the
6coundiels,as could be found, who, after
examination, were fully committed, and that
such papers as the Memphis Avalanche un
equivocally condemn the outrage.

There is no doubt that the Pope's tem
poral power is imperiled by the present war
as it never has been at any previous time.
If the French Emperor be compelled to
withdraw his army from Home, it is very
certain that the Italian and Itoman revolu
tionists will attempt the overthrow of the
Pope. They are well organized, and have
been waiting for many vear3 for the chance
which they expected to size as soon as France
got into war. If they are successful in
bringing about revolution, there will be an
excellent opportunity for Victor Emanuel
to march bis troops into Rome for the pur
pose of preserving order : and when once
the Italian army is encamped in Home, it
will never leave except uuder the pressure
of war from Fiance which France may
not be able or inclined to offer after the con
clusion of hostilities with Prussia. Ten
years ago, if the French had found it neces
sary to cvacute Home, the Austrians, the
Spaniards and the Bavarians were ready to
take their place in mantaining the Pope's
temporal supremacy ; but none of these Tow
era could now go to the relief or support of
his Holiness.
While most of our people are sympathiz
ing with Prussia in her present struggle
against France, it is curious to note that
one of the most formidable vasscls in the
navy of Louis Napoleon was devised and
built in this country by Americans for the
ure of our government. We allued to the
Immense iron-plated ram Rochambeau,
more familiar to our readers as the Dunder
burg. This marine monster is three hun
dred and reventy-eight feet long, seventy
three feet beam and thirty feet deep, carry
ing an armament of eight fittccn-inch guns.
As a ' 'ram" the Iiochambeau will prove
fearfully destructive, it being calculated by
experts that when colliding at a speed ot
ten knots an hour she would deliver a blow
equal to a cannon ball of one thousand
pouuds' weight, burled with a propulsive

A Georgia paper which is endeavoring to
still keep alive the smouldering embers of
rebellion in the South, advances the opin
ion that England is likely to be drawn into
the European war, and that in such a contin
gency the United States would likewise be
come involved in the contest. The wish is
probably father to the thought. Unfortu
nately, there are many people in that section
who are insane enough to hope yetfor some
turn in events which may assist them to ac
complish their cherished scheme of a separ
ate slaveholding confederacy. They are
hoping against hope. Not if all Europe
were arrayed in war against us could another
Southern rebellion now succeed.
An infornal declaration of our neutrality
in the war between France and North Ger
many has been sent abroad in the form of
instructions to American foreign minister
and consuls. Food, arms, and 'munitions of
war are to be sold to either party to the con
flict but no enlistment of troops will be per
mitted in this country. This, it is to be
hoped, will put an end to the propositions
for raising independent crops among our
French and German citizens, if the idea was
ever seriously entertained.

The party will proceed north to Loup Fork,
and following that river to its source, will
strike across and explore the Upper Niobra

The three most prominent French officers
and crops commanders in the present war
McMahon, Bazaine and Canrobert are all
over sixty years of age. The three leading
commanders in the Prussian service, besides
the Crown Prince Von Moltke, Manteuffel
and Von Roon are all over sixty, and the
first named is seventy years old. The King
of Prussia is seventy-three, and the Emperor
of France sixty-t wo years of age. It is likely
that some younger men will be heard of, on
both aides, before the war is over.
It is asserted, as the result of inquiries
and calculations by an eminent New York
banker, that the amount of United States
securities held in the various German States
and elsewhere in Eurore never has exceeded
$1,000,000,000 and at the nreienttime does
not amount to more than three fourths of
that sum. The amount of American rail
road securities held abroad will not exceed
$200,000,000. It has been found that very
large amounts of our securities are held by
savin irs banks, -National banks, and Individ
uals in the North. East and Middle States,
which have never been reported, and that
the larger portion ot these are held as per
manent investments. It is added that it is
not ecnerally believed that foreitn houses
will return more than eight or ten millions
of our bonds in any event, and, therefore.
their further depreciation is altogether im
probable.
Wall street has been in a state of intense
excitement since the first intimation of war
in Europe. It is difficult to give a sufficient
reason for this, except that the excitement
is merely speculatiie. It is not believed
that there will be a very much increased
demand for gold in Europe. France and
Prussia nave already secured all the money
they need by loans at home. 1 he demand
for breadstuffs from this country will occa
sion a now of gold this way, as our purchases
in Europe will be very much limited. It is
not likely that our boods will be sent borne
in large quantities, as lhey will be regarded
as quite as secure as any that-can be had in
Europe in its present unsettled xtate. The
excitement is purely speculative, and not
the necesary result of the war.
