Harvest Home Gathering.
On Saturday last, a number of the . citizens
of Lime Hill, and the neihborlioods: round
about assembled %vitt their families on the
farm i.f Me. Lewis Biles, whicli borders 'on
the river opposite historie Frenchtowo, for a
Harvest Mime, basket pic-riim _ The gather
ing was entirely a social neighborhood affair,
under the auspices of Lewis' Biles, who re
sides upon the farm settled by his father, the
late Alvianthr Biles, one of the prominent
early citizens of Wyalusing. Being present
in our capacity las a representative of. tie
Itzprnmcas, It iii a pleasant • duty to record

hospitabie reception accorded to us and the
other gentlemel from this place who accom

past spread in a- shady'
nook in the rocky
ravine on the bank °lithe river. ' That 'we
did ample jiistiee to the teMpti og Viands,

from Elsbroe's speedh: —"We were full."

' We met there many repreaentatives' of
familiar names of early eiettlero, as the Biles,
Laporte, Herrick. Frgerg . gtatrs, 7 Deck

later date, as Mr. Butts', Rev. Mr. Luce ac.

rocky promontary s over . fair hun
dred feel alieVe the bed of the river.' . At its
base is the track of the Lehigh Valley Rail
road,i and t e distance from this high point
to the river is so short that a - pebble may bo
thrown int' the -stream. The_ rocky :barrier
is cleft by al ra.vine through which ' runs a
small stream of, pure water fed by 'springs in
the hillside on theßiles farm, and discharges
over the cliff, forming a beautiful cascade in
. its prapenilienlar descent hundreds of feet to
the river. l ' ; l' -
A copious; mineral spting strongly im.
to egnated with iron and sulphur flows out of
the bank of the small stream but a short dis
tance from the . brink of the cli ff in a field of
Mr. Biles, atl is destined it some time to be=
borne famous. This grotetique spot, invest
din
cd by naturewith so much majestic grandeur
and ronantic beauty, and associated with
important ev ents in tho early history of the
county, is worthy of a name by which it may
in the future by ; designated and . known.. If
none more 'acceptable is - suggested by Mr.
Biles, who owns the premises, a friend, whom
he will recollect proposes that they namo it
"Glenburn.' l' r ilen, '"a secluded and narrow
valley," andlßarn, "a small stream or brook."

D. O. DiWirr. •
A sense of duty impel. me to - Se:ad, you
the following, -_-which I know we are; all
interested in—hence I askreach and every
person to read and carefully oc naider.—
There seems to bo a disposition to concede
it" re-nomination to certain Bradford-county
Commissioners and Auditors., Is this for
the best?' Should - we allow Li? firive they
performed their duties ip protectiiii-Jkle ut.
terests of the county? If they have; We have
no 'objection to retaluinglbem. , It they have
allowed ore expenses to . increase,' thereby
necessitating au oppressive tax to bo levied
and collected out of the people, then we say
a change should be made. Now, lam a firm
believer in the old maxim, "do justice, 16ve
mercy, and try to make your fellow creatures
happy." I wish to do' no injustice; acil will
give figures taken from the records of the
county. I believe them correct and perfectly
fair. If they show correctly , the conksel we
are drifting, then we should have other men
to manage our affairs. In case there are
ere, its omitted which we should hive men
tioned, we respectfolly ask that some one
will call them to our notice. In the first place
I wish to give the entire expense of manag
ing, tor running the county, for the years
1871-2-3-4 and 5 inclusive, ) excepting and
leaving out the building of, e jail,- and then
compare, this statement with the expense of
the years 1876-7-8.9 and 'BO inch:lBWe, except.:
ing and leaving out the "poor-honse." "To
wanda bridge" and dog tax. The expenses
of the county for the first five years named
were as follows
1871.
1872
1873
1874
1875
- - 26,673.62
32,828.17
31,00179
32482,17
Total for the flvdyears,.... 1155,303.37
The expenees of • .thu Beeond s fire years
named were. as follows:
1876 131,701.16
1877 41,781.02
1878 36,71.07
1879 • 43,533.69
1888 • 41,009.54
Total for the five years..... $194,742.48
Deduct expenses for first five
years, •. $155,303.37
And we find the expense has
inc reseed, . - $39,4.39.11i ,
Unless some good reason can bo given for
this increase. it is:positively startlrng. Some
will probably say the Prothonotary's and the
Register - and Recorder's offices have been re
paired at largo exkonse, and that the flood of
1870 'did. great damage to CO unty bridgei, dc.
In answer to this lve say , building the steno
'walk and iron fence around the Park, which
was done during the first five years, was quite
as expensive. We are also informed that dur
ing the years :rem 18713t0 1875 inclusive, there .
were a large number of County bridges built,
and that during the years from 1870 to 1880
inclusive, but very few have teen bult; the
most the Commissioners have hid to o has
been to keep thcm , jn repair, which w adroit
( I d
is quite expensive'.. I should also mention
that we have pot included the $11,500, or
thereabonts, paid by the County for Athens
bridge in 1877. Perhaps the greatest expense
to the county is 'the Criminal 4ourt. Yon
may as k any lawyer or the District Attorney,
and yon kill find that the criminal,bnainoss
has dropped off nearly, if not qtate, fifty per
cent. Then why are our expenses sUirapidly
increasing? T.,pt me give you some more fig
ure. I know you are a newspaper man, but
I guess there is no danger of hurting
_your
"corns." I fear it is the "spoils" and "pat
ronage" that are running the County.. The
late and lamented Warner H. Carnochan said
to me during the session of the Chicago Con
vention which nominated Mr.! Garfield,—
"Conk Hug is too great a man to ever be pres
ident. Ile belongs in ,the list with Clay, Web
ster, Seward, and Douglas, whd were all too
great men to ever maim the presidency."
When General'Garfleld was elected President
ail the “pationage," so. long controlled •by
Mr. Conkling, was "cat ofr and the great
`lion" was powerless. To-day,t almost every
little whipper-snapper in the } retake
. of the .
Republican party dare stand, (at a consider
able distance, however), and bark at Conk
lingo's ghost. Why are the newspapers of
Bradford county so silent about the financial
condition of our county? Shall I say most of
them aro lulled by "Patronage?" You are a
newspaper man,--examine the ifolloiving fig
ures and explain. •
Take the same five years first, before men
tioned, and the expenses for advertising and
public .p mitt ng were as followl:
1871 4571,00
- .1872 327,50
11873 - 358,50
1874 S. • 593,04
1875
506,50
51r. Aliord came in with an old
bill for 1872, 1873 and 1874, on
which he claimed t 349, which
was paid t but ought, -not Inve
bet -n, which triost 349,00
This makes the total—
'for tho
five sears inclusive, $2,705.54
Thu advertising and public printing for the
next five •years,.the records show as folloWs:
1876 $577,01
•
1877 • 763,90
• 1878 825,50
1879 . - - : 808,69
1880 1,584,02
Total for the five years in-
This shows the alarming increase of $1,853, -
61. It is true the last contains the special
advertising for the "poor-house," but the first
includes the special advertising for the "jail,"
which just Oka evens it np, or ought to.
Now, Mr. Editor, speak up and explain' this
to the. people. What makes it? Has labor,
paper 'and ink gone up? Or are they getting
"horse biro" in on us in some way.. If you
are not.getting any of the "spoils,"'we Shall
expect to hear from you. We' do not want to
discuss thd poor-house in this article, - as our
purpose is to keep that for a second dose, but
wo will say it looks as if the "patronage" that
this affords is being distributed to re-nomi
nate certain men. Let me give you ono item.
In the pampas - 4:lWe of 1869, Act No. 66,
page 67, Section 8, you will find the following:
"The Treasurer of such county shall be
e.r officio Treasurer of said poor district; he
shall receive all moniee.belonging to the dis
trict, and pay out the same on warrants
drawn by the Conimissioners, who shall jiz
his compensation for such service." The
Records show that $40,000 was borrowed to
build a poor-house, &o. The record also
shows - that the Commissioners gave John
Grant, Esq., $4OO to • receive this money. It
also shows that they gave him 1757,66 for pay
ing Wont, Now, "how is this forbigh." It
they fixed the rate, it is an outrage on the
tax payers. If they failed to fix the rate, they
omitted their duty, which is just as bad, and
we. went no more of them. The following will
show why so many hungry fellows want to be
Treasurer. His fees for 1880 were as follows:
County borrowed in spring of 1880,
$40,000,. paid the Treasurer for
taking it 4 $400.00
Paid him for paying it out 757.GG
Paid him for, County disburse
ments at per report 1,725.77
Fees on license . , (estimated) 325,00
Fees on unseated lands(estiniated) 150,00
Total for 1880
Now let me say right hero that men can be
found who will be glad to take the office for
$l2OO - per year, who possess just as much
brains, 'quite as correct bushiest; qualilica
tiota,greater eXperienee,funiish security the,
will be entirely acceptable ! to the citizens of
the county, and who will make Preferable
cers to any of the candidates who are now
canvassing the county for nomination. As it.
is a question Whether !an officer's fees can be
reduced . to take effect during hie term of
()Mee, this should be aiiended to before the
next Tieasurer, is elected.
Sect ion 19 of the Constitition of Pennsyl
vania provides: "No law shall extend the
term of any public officer, or increase or di
minish his salary or emoluments, after his ,
election or appointment."
Iu cue the CommisSioners fail to fix the
compensation befOre the next,Troasurer is
elected, then the compensation paid his pre
decerbor most be. paid him. I mentioned
Auditors in the commencement of this article,
because, I think they failed to apply the brake

The Committee on Resolutions made the
following repor: ! .
That we' heartily indorse - the - Platform of
Principles adopted by the National Green.
back Labor Party at Chicago in June 188 e,
which is here-with appended. We believe '
lit,. That — opposition is all monopolies is so'
clearly expressed in that platform and so
strongly emtihasized by the sots of - bur party
leaders in Coegregs as to win the cantldenee
of all those who are honestly oppoied to the
reign -=of monopolies; and renders any fusion
of the National Greenback Labor Party with
any-other organization. or changing name
unwise and unnecessary.
2nd. Our thanks are due to Gen. J. B.
Weaver for the valuable service be is render
ing to the cause of right principles and good
government.
`l3rd. That the Democratic and Retinblican
parties have abandoned those principles upon
which our government was founded; and by
legislating for monopolies instead of the peo
ple have destroyed all right to claim the sup
port of the people whom they have betrayed.
4tb, We pledge ourselves to use - all honor
able means to Secure the election eflh—o—nomi
nees of this Convention.
NATIONAL GREENBACK PLATFORM:
ADOPTED BY THE NATIONAL• CONVENTION. HELD
AT CHICAGO. BEGINNING JIINt9, 1880.
Civil government should guarantee the
divine right of every labOrer to tb resints of
his toil, thus enabling the produceis of wealth
to provide themselves with the - means of
physical comfort, and the facillticui for men
tal, social and moral culture; and we condemn
as u nworth our civilization, the barbarism
which impcises upon the wealth producers a
- state of perpetual drudgery as th price of
bare animal existence. •
Notwithstanding the enormous increase of
productive power, the univaraal introduction
of labor-saving machinery, and the discovery
of new agents for the increase of wealth, the
task of the laborer is scarcely lightened; the
hours of toil are but little shortened, and few
producers are lifted from poierty into com
fort and pecuniary independence.
- The associated monopolies, the interns
MEE
tional syndicates and other 'income , • classes
demand dear money and cheap labor,
"strong government," and hence a weak
people.
Corporate control of the volume of money
has been the means of dividing society into
hostile classes; of the unjust distribution of
the products of labor and of building up
monopolies of associated capital, endowed
with power to confiscate private property. It
has kept money scarce, and scarcity of money
enforces debt-trade and public, corporate
loans—debt engenders usury and usury ends
in the bankruptcy of the borrower.
Other results are deranged markets, un
certainty in manufacturing enterprise and
agriculture, precarious and intermitent eni
ployment for the laborer, industrial war, in
creasing pauperism 'and crime and the con
sequent intimidation and, disfranchisement
of the product'. and a rapid, declension into
corporate feudalism. -
Therefoie, we declare—
1. That the right to make and issue money
is a sovereign poarer to be main tained by the
people for the common benefit. The delega;
tion of this right to corporations is a surren
der of the central attribute of sovereignty,
void df 'constitutional sanction, conferring
upon a 'subordinate; irresistible power, abso
lute dominion over industry and commerce.
All money, whether metalic or paper, should
be issued and its volume controlled by the
government and not by or through tho bank
ing corporations, and when so issued, should
be a full legal tender for all debts, public and
private.2.bonds of the United Stites
That
the
shouldnot be refugned, bat paid as rapidly as
is
.practiccble, according to contract. To
enable the government to meet these obli
gations, legal-tender currency should bo sub
stituted for the notes of the national , banks,
the national banking system 'abolished and
the unlimited coinage of silver as, well as gold
established by law.
3. That labor should be so protected by
national and State authority as to equalize
its burdens and insure a' jest dis tribution or
its results: the eight hour law of Congress
should be enforced; the sanitary condition of
- industrial establishmerits - placed under rigid
control; the competition of contract convict
labor abolished; a:bureau of labor statistics,
established; factories, mines and workshops
inspected; the einploymennt of children An
der 14 yeara'of age forbidden, and wages paid
in cash.
4. 'Slavery being simply cheap bsbcir and
cheap labor being situp ly slavery, the impor
tation and presence of Chinese sorts necessa
rily tends to brutalize and degrade Am erican
labor; therefore immediate steps should be
taken to Abrogate the Burli ogamo treaty. .
5. Railroad land grants forfeited by reason
of non-fulfullment of contract should be im
mediately reclaimed by the government; and
henceforth the public domain reserved ex
clusively as homes for actual settlers.
6. It is the duty of Congress to regulate
inter-State commerce. —Ol lines of commu
nication ars.d• transportation should . be
brought under such legislative control as shall
secure mode , ate, fair and uniform rates for
passengers and freight traffic.
7.. We denounce as destructive-to prosper
ity and dangerous to liberty the action of the
old parties in fostering and sustaining gigan
tic, land, railroad and money corporations and .
monopolies invested with and exercising
powers belonging to the government, and yet
not responsible to it for the manner of their
exercises.
8. That the constitution, in giving Con
gress the power to borrow money, to declare
war, to , raise and support armies, to provide
andmaintain a navy, never intended that the
men who loaned their money for an interest
consideration should be preferred to the sol
dier :and sailor who periled their lives and
shed their blood on land and sea in defense
of their country, and we condemn the erne
class legislation of the Republican party
which, while professing' great" gratitude for
the soldier, has most unjustly discriminated
against him and in favor of the bondholder.
It. All property should bear its just proper
tion of taxation, and we demand a graduated
income-tax.
10. We denounce as most dangerous. the
,efforts very manifest, to restrict the right of
suffrage.
,11. We , are opposed to an increase of the
$4,559,15
standng . army in time of peace and the in
sidious scheme to establish an enormous mil
itary power under the'guise of militia laws.
_ 12. We demand absolute democratic rules
for the government of Congress, , placing all
representatives of the people upon an equal
footing and taking away from committees a
veto power greater than that of the President.
13 We demand a government.of the people,
by the people and for the people, instead of
a •government of the bondholders, by the
bondholders and for the bondholdo rs; and we
denounce every attempt to-stir up sectional
strife as an effort to conceal monstrous
crimes against the people.
14. In the fortheiance of these ends we ask
the co-operation of, all fair-minded people.
We have no quarrel with individuals, wage no
war upon classes, but only against vicious in
stitutions. Wo aro not content to endure
further discipline from our present actual
rulers, who having dominion over money,
over transportion, over land, labor and large
ly., over the press and maehinets of govern
ment, wield unwarrantable power over our
institutions, and over life and property.

covered my entire person in form of dry scales.
For the last three years I have been unable to
do any labor, and suffering intensely all the.
time. Every - morning there could be nearly a
dustpauful of scales taken from the 'sheet on my
bed, tone of them half.las large as the envelope

:winter my skin commenced cracking 'open. I
'tried everything; almost, that could be thought
