Let every Republican committeeman attend to his duty of seeing that every Republican in his district is at once CLEVELAND and bis administration are responsible for this loss to the wool grower. The policy which b*f canned it was inaugurated by him and toreed upon his party by an un scrupulous use of tbe veto power aud the Federal patronage. This mny work very well with members of Con great and professional politicians, but it iaproring a dismal failure with th« sovereign voter. The Farmer Protected. The principal Democratic argument agaioat tariff ia that it ia a protection of oae class at tbe expense of another; that while the workers in mines and manufactories are benefitted, thegrea agricultural population of tbe country ia grievously burdened without any return. Thia argument proceeds up on the supposition that tbe farmei reeeirea no protection, the tarifl achedule being arranged to include only such articles as are produced in milla, shops, mines, etc. If this wen true it might afford some reason why the farmers should favor free trade, hat it ian't true. Tbe farmer is pro tected along with all otber classes of producers; hia staple products' upon the sale of which be depends for hit profits, are all included in the ached ale of dutiable articles In order to compete with him in the American market foreign producers are com pelled to pay tariff duties according to the following rates, taken from tbe oßdal list: Different kinda of live stock, 20 per cent ad valorem. Beef and pork, 1 ct. per pound. Hama and bacon, 2 eta. per pound Extract of meats. 20 per cent ad valorem. Cheese, 4 cts per pound. Batter, and substitutes therefor, 4 cts per poand. Lard, 2 cts. per pouod. Wheat, 20 cts. per basbel. Corn, oats, rye and barley, 10 * per baahel. Barley, pearled pateot or hulled, £ ct. per poand. Barley malt, 20 cts. per busbel. Cornmeal, 10 cts. per basbel. Oatmeal, £ ct. per pound. Rye flour, £ ct. per pound. Wheat floor, 20 per cent, ad valor em. Hay, $2 per too. HOMJ, 20 eta per gallon. Hop*, 8 eta. per poaod. Milk, condensed, 20 per cent ad valorem. Potatoes, 15 eta. per bushel. All other vegetables, 19 per cent, ad valorem. Fruits, 28 per cent, ad valorem. Vinegar, 7$ eta. per gallon. Flax straw, $5 per ton. Wool at 30 eta. a pound or less, 10 cents; at over 30 eta. a pound, 12 cis. Flax, not hackled, $24 per ton. Flax, hackled, known as "dressed line," S4O per ton. Sugar cane. 10 per cent, ad valor- There are other products of the (arm included in the list but those above enumerated are sufficient for the preeent purpose. It is thus seen the American farmer is not only giv en a home market, the best and most convenient market in.the world, by the protection and preservation of American industry, but this market ie secured to him against all compe tition from abroad; it is all his own The protection is not merely nomi nal It is a positive and direct bene fit, and its removal would prove dis aatrous. For instance, take the tar iff of 20 cents a busbel off wheat and oar large cities and manufacturing districts would be speedily flooded with wheat from across our Northern border, millions oi bushels of which is in store in Manitoba, waiting for snch an opportunity, nor is it certain that the tariff of 20 cents will avail mech longer to keep tbem out. The orator or writer who says tbe farmer is not benefitted by protection dearly doesn't know what he is talk iag about, or else is trying to deceive. Either directly or indirectly no ctaes of the population is more inter ested in maintaining tbe protective system than are tbe tillers of tbe soil. —Emporia Republican. SBSATOR FARWKLL acted promptly as well as grace folly on Monday week, la proposing s pension of SSOOO for tbe widow of General Sheridan. Tbe Beaate referred tbe bill to its Com mittee on Pensions, of which Senator Davis is chairman, and beyond ques tion a favorable report will be made without delay. In the House, how «»«, we are prepared to pee opposi tion manifested to a proposal that tbe better sentiment of tbe country will cordially approve. The Rebel Brig tdim might well lay aaide their jrqjndkas for this onoe. What the British Want. The electioneering campaign in America ought to be most interesting to the English people for historical, political, philosophical and economic reasoD?. * * * The main ques tion at issue is ENQLISH FREE TRADE AGAINST THE CONTI NENTAL SYSTEM OF PROTEC TION. The republic is on trial Good, conservative government, un der Cleveland, is opposed by the rule and ruin party of Blaine, whose friends nominated Harrison, and who would certainly be Secretary of State under a Harrison administration. Thus the American people are direct ly involved in the contest through their pockets, which will be affected by the tariff, and their future, which would be seriously influenced by the restoration to power of such a fire brand as Blaine, with his home rule sympathies and bis anti-Canadian policy. THE AMERICAN ELEC TION IS INFINITELY MORE IMPORTANT TO ENGLISHMEN THAN THEIR OWN INTERNAL POLITICS JUST AT THIS JUNCTURE, and they should ob serve every phase of the campaign closely and understandingly. It is from this point of view that the co pious dispatches to the Sunday Times are cabled. THE RESULT OF THE AMERICAN ELEC TIONS WILL HELP TO DE CIDE MANY IMPORTANT IS SUES IN GREAT BRITAIN— London Sunday Times, July 15, 1888. EVERY Republican shdVild register at once; Hospitals for Miners. The Legislature, at last session, passed an act providing for the erec tion of three hospitals in counties em bracing the bituminous coal regions of this State, and the Governor has appointed a commission to select the sites for the hospitals. Butler would be an advantageous location for one of these institutions, being in the heart of the bituminous coal section, and our people should look after the matter. Our county has no member on the commission, and as Mercer has we suppose her chances for a sits will be better than ours, or any of the ad joining counties. The sn mof $20,000 is appropriated (or each hospital, aud the object is to have a place for the nursing and care of coal miners when injured in mining or by explosions or otherwise. Since writing above a meeting of some citizens has taken place, as will be seen. ABE you assessed ? Thursday, September 6th, is the last day. SUBSCRIBE for the CITIZEN, $1.50 per year. For campaign from this date out only 25 cents. 193 Voters of 1840. There are now 193 names on our list of Tippecanoe voters in this coun ty, who voted for Gen. William Hen ry Harrison for President in 1840 and who intend voting for his grandson General Benjamin Harrison in 1888 This is a larger number than we no tice in the Republicans papers of any of the surrounding counties. We still expect to swell the list to 200, or more, but as it stands Butler County leads. SEPTEMBEB 6th is the last day on which voters can be registered. Re publican workers, see that all Repub licans are upon the lists ! .JUDGE ALBRIGHT, of Lebigb Conn ty baa decided that constables are eu tiiled to compensation for visiting and returning to Court saloons, restau rants or hotels that violate tbe new high license law of 1887 —tbe same amount as for serving a summons and mileage. JUDOKSLAQLE, of Pittsburg, b&s made a decision that will put a stop in that city to the agent business in selliug liquor in packages. Sales must lie made direct from the manufactur ers and no middle men are lawful in selling packages. NOT a single pound of wool baß been sold in Washington county this year on which its owrffer has not lost from five to seven or ten cents, be cause of the free trade provisions of of tbe Mills bill. What compensating benefit has come to them ? None This is a clear loss, tho result of four years of Democratic administration RKMEMHER Tbnrsdav, September, 6th, is tbe last day for tbe registra tion of voters. "THK only time England can use an Irishman is when he emigrates to America and votes for Free Trade." —London Times WARSAW, in Wyoming County, N. Y , has a Harmon and Morton club in which are fifty Democrats who have broken away from their free trade party. Tbe little village of Pike, in tbe same county, has seven Demo crats in its Republican club. It's a tidal wave year, sure. IN 1882, General Harrison, in a speech said: "Tbe man who lived through the war of tbe rebellion and did not make some sacrifice for the success of the Union armies—-who did not say one brave word or do oue brave tbing when, with bare and bleeding breasts, our soldiers looked into the face of bell for their country —can never be enshrined as the sol dier's friend." TUK 900 th anniversary of the in* troduction of Christianity into Rus sia was celebrated recently with great pomp. MR BLAINE puts a large truth in small compass when be says that the "wages of tbe American laborer can not be reduced except with the con sent and vote of tbe American labor er himself." CONCORD TWH. leads slightly in the list of Tippecanoe veterans of 1840. Blaine's Welcome Home--His First Speech. NEW YORK, AUK. 10 —Mr. Bart lett delivered the following speech of welcome: MR BLAINE— The Republican Club of the citv of New York aud its invited quests tender you,sir,tbrouirh me as President of the club, their warmest greetings and sincerest con gratulations upon your arrival once more in health and strength on thew shores When the club first proposed this reception it was not intended as an act having political significance.but rather as a private expression of love aud regard for one whom we look up on as our most illustrious citizeu But we found our suggestion stirred the friendly jealousy of the whole country, and with one accord it was insisted that the event of your arrival home should be the occasion of a demonstration more general in its character than was originally con templated; and as a result there were assembled for several days in the city of New York tens of thousands of your friends from all parts of the country impatiently waiting to pay you the generous tribute of their respect and admiration. The delay in your arrival has interfered to some extent with the program Last night the great parade took place, about 40,000 strong, lacking but one thing, your inspiring presence. We are not assembled, sir, on this occasion in a spirit of adulation to do homage to one occupying high official position, nor are we seeking to fioii favor with a candidate upon whom the mantle of power is soon to rest; but we come to greet a private citizen whose name is so intimately a*socia ted in our history for the past gener ation that no office can add lustre to his fame or increase the esteem and admiration in which he is held by his fellow-countrymen. Again, sir, I bid you welcome to your native shores RESPONSE OF MR BLAINE. Mr, Blaine said in reply: MR, PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN OF THE REPUBLICAN CLUB AND FEL LOW CITIZENS —To enable you to ap preciate this welcome, each and every one of you should be absent from home and country tor the long period of fourteen months. lam sure you can have little conception of the great gratification of that instant when I saw the shores of the Great Republic. I cannot tell you how deeply grateful lamto be remembered in tuis man ner by you and these assembled gen tlemen. It is a scene I shall never forget. It is an occasion which I as sure you 1 appreciate from the depths of my hearts. It is shadowed only by the sad event which greeted us as the first piece of American news we heard—the death of General Sheridau a man who was above party, aud stood for the union of the States. [Shouts of "Good."] With that ex ception my arrival upon my native shore was unattended by anything but joy and happiness. The campaign on which you a>e about to enter should be prefaced, if that were possible, by every voter iu the United States seeing what 1 have ["Good, good"), and hearing what I have heard during the last year. [Applause] The progress of the campaign iu the United States is viewed from the European standpoint with an interest as profound as it is in the United States. It is the op portunity of England. It is the looked-for occasion upou which the cheaper labor and cheaper fabrics of the old world expect to invade the new and lower wages of Armrichii workingmen to the European sraud ard- [Great applause] It is not a contest of capital against capital; it is not a contest of partisau against par tisan, It is much higher than either of these. It transcends all party mo tive [Applause.] Whether the great mass of American citizens who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow shall be seriously reduced iu their emolument from day to day [ap plause]—that is the whole pith and moment of this question. Anything that diverts the question from that single point iB a weakening of the campaign. [Applause and cries of •'Good "] 1 say here, as I hope to say with much more elaboration [loud cheering and cries of "That's what we want"] —I say here that the wages of the American laborer can not be reduced except with the con sent and the votes of the American laborer himself The appeal lies to him. It comes to bis door and asks him whether, with the great power of the franchise and the great major ity he possesses in his own bauds, he is willing for himself aud his associ ates, his children and his children's children to take that fatal step at the bidding of an American Congress aud an American President who are gov erned by that element which sought to destroy this Nation. But, gentlemen, it is not a time for a political speech. My heart is too full to enter at this time on lengiheu ed argument. In this moment of we'.come and joy, getting home to old scenes aud old friends, I must be al lowed to enjoy the pleasant emotious of the occasion. I ean only add my fervaut thanks to each and every member of the club and to all uiy friends for the generous and joyous welcome they haye extended to me in the harbor of New *- An Important Matter. It should not be forgotten that Thursday, September 6th, is the last day for the registration of voters Eyery person who intends to vole Bhould see that his name is on the registry list, and the best way to at tend to the matter is to do it per sonally. Young members of the par. ty should be particular to see that they have not been missed. Our County Committeemen should look up all Republicans and see that they are registered. Do not neglect to at tend to this matter promptly Hospital Meeting. Some citizens met at the office of Dr. Neyman on Wednesday last and took action towards securiug a site for a hospital in this place. Dr. Neyman presided and Dr Lunk acted as Sec'y., and the following committee was appointed; Drs. Gra ham, Neyman, and Lusk, J. L Pur vis, Wm. Campbell, jr., T. Robinson, A" Troutman, A. L Reiber, C.

A Condensed Double Biogra phy. Benjamin Harrison and Grover : Cleveland arp about tbe same age ; Both are of honorable parentage | Both are lawyers. Both sought homes and business ingrowing cities [So much for tbe likeness between ! them. And there it ends. Harrison took a bride with him to Indianapolis. Cleveland went to Buffalo a bachelor. Harrison built a home. Cleveland lived in law chambers. Harrison taught a Sunday school class of young lawyers, Cleveland— he traveled in another direction. Harrison was elected reporter of the supreme court of Indiana, with honorable and most responsible du ties Cleveland was elected sheriff of Krie county, an office that also had its duties The war broke out. Harrison vol unteered; Cleveland was drafted Harrison recruited a regiment and went to the front Cleveland recruited a substitute aud remained in Buffalo Harrison has been true to every promise be has made to man or worn an, to party or tbe nation. Cleveland has been true to himself,and kept such promises as it was for his interest not to break. Such are the two candidates. How well do they represent the parties that support them ?—Boston Travel er. A Remarkable Accident. On the 9tb inet., as Joseph Rich ards, a boy of 14 years, was driving a mule in the Murray shaft at Wilkes Barre, Pa., a train of five loaded cars ran away and came down tbe plane. The cars struck tbe boy with terrible force and drove him against the mule. 80 tremendous was the blow that the boys bead was driven into tbe mule's abdomen His shoul der was broken and he was otherwise injured. When lh« horrified miners discovered tbe boy's terrible condi tion they tried to extricate him and found tbe united strength of two men necessary. The boy was taken home for dead, but revived some what, tbongb his skull is fractured, and he will probably die. Tbe mule died almost immediately after the ac cident. —Editor Charles A. Dana in bis recent speech before the lowa editors said some things that many editors have not yet found out. "The news paper must be founded upon buman nature. It must correspond to the wants of tbe people. It must furnish that sort ot information which tbe people demand, or else it never can be successful. The first thing which au editor must look for is news. If tbe newspaper has not tbe new-i, it may have everything else, yet it will be comparatively unsuccessful; and bv news 1 mean everything that oc curs,every thing which is of human in terest, and which is of sufficient im portance to arrest and absorb tbe at tention of tbe public, or of any con siderable part of it. Tbere is a great disposition in some quarters to say that tbe newspapers ought to limit the amount ot news that tbey print; that certain kinds of news ought not to be published. Ido not know bow that is lam not prepared to main tain any abstract proposition in that line; but I have always felt whatever the Divine Providence permitted to, occur I was not too proud to report.' CONGRESSMAN FORAN, of Cleveland Ohio, the one Democrat who would uot vote at all on the Mills bill, pre dicts a Republican majority ef fifteen in the next House.- Well, fifteen will do, but it is more likely to be fifty. —The recent arrest of a mail rob ber in Chicago promises to be tbe beginning of tbe breaking up of an association of mail robbers, operating all over tbe country. —The earth grazed the meteoric ring last Fridav,and somebody reports having seen thirty meteors that night. The contact, as predicted by the astronomers, is another interest ing proof of the punctuality pf the heavenly bodies. Nature is as exact in the infinitely great as in the infin itely little.
