A majority of the members of the Re publican County Committee put in an ap pearance in Huselton Ball, Monday after noon, and these with the candidates and other spectators filled every chair in the Hall. Dr. Leighner was on the sick list and Dr. Wm. Irvine of Evans City was called upon to preside; J W. Hutchison and Dr. Thomas acting as Secretaries. On motion, Saturday, April 28th. be tween the hours ot 1 and 7 p.m. was fixed upon as the date and time for our next primary election. Mr. S. Fraukle of Millerstown offered a aeries of resolutions which were read bj the Secretary; then Mr. Starr of Petrolia moved that a Committee on Resolutions be selected and that these resolutions br referred to them. This was agreed to, and the Chairman appointed Messrs Galbreatb, Davidson and Frankle a committee on res olutions and they retired, but returned shortly recommending that the resolutions be adopted as read and this was agreed to. Mr. Galbreath then spoke for Dr. Leigb ner by request, hoping that the Republi cans of this county would make a good showing at the next election, Feb. 20tb, as it was an unusually •roportant one for a Spring election; saying that the executive committees of last Fall should continue on duty for it, and endeavor to get out the full vote. J. M. McCollough of Fairview inquired if tew "watchers" were needed for this elec ion, and was informed that they are, as the certificates for the election of last Fall expired with it. Mr. J, N. Moore then moved that the Committeemen present indicate anj changes wanted or vacancies to be filled as "watchers" so that the County Chair man could hand a complete list to the County Commissioners for the issuing ol new certificates and this was agreed to, and acted upon. Mr. Kiskaddon then moved that Mr. Galbreath be requested to explain the or ganization of the Lincoln League to the Committee. This was agreed to and Mr. Galbreath said that the League was not_ a local organization, that it takes in the whole county, that any Republican in the county can join it on his own terms, that tbe organization is founded on Republican principles; has already done good work in Butler, etc. Mr. Starr of Petrolia asked if candidates could be appointed as watchers; and the general sense of the convention was that they could, that there was nothing in the law to prevent it, and that any qualified elector could be a watcher. It was also stated that any member of the election board could help fill out a ticket if request ed to do so, Charley Kerr, the irrepressible patriot of Cherry twp., put in an appearance and made several speeches on the Wilson bill, and the Committee adjourned. Tbe resolutions heartily endorse our fellow citiaen Dr. Showalter for Secretary of Internal Affairs, and read as follows. RKSOLUTIOSS. Ist. That the present protracted and continuous depression in the various de partments of industry, demonstrates the fact that tbe Republican position as inaiu tained before tbe peoplo during tho late national canvass, was sound and patriotic, tbe honor and industrial interests of tbe country can only be maintained by an abandoment of tbe re-actionary methods of tbe present Administration, and its return to the safe methods of the pai-t. 2nd. That nothing short ot an emphatic rebuke at the ballot box can induce the party in power to desist from the further prosecution of tho uup»triotic war—it is now waging against tbo tariff system, through whose fostering influence our farmers, manufacturers, and our wage workers have prospered these many years. 3rd.

TUB campaign in Pennsylvania was opened in Philadelphia,last Saturday night by a mass meeting in the Winter Circus building attended by at least five thousand men John Dalrell wa3 tho principal speaker. He predicted a majority for Grow of 200.- 000, reviewed the lndu3trial situation; and when asked about the income tax amend ment to the Wilson bill said: •There are two points to be made, first, if you are going to raise revenue by direct taxation you ought to impose the tax on all the people alike and not on a few. [Cheers ] Another thing, the poor man who thinks because he doesn't make $4.- 000 a year he will not have to pay the in come tax is fooling himself. Suppose I were to make $4,500 a year out of my property, I make my tenants pay the tax on the SSOO. Dojou suppose the Astors are going to pay the income tax? No. The Astors" tenants will pay the income tax. "Now, onr Democratic friends say the Wilson bill is to reduce taxation in the in terest of tbe poor man. Well, let's see. It strikes off *3,000,000 on Havana cigar.*; doesn't that help man? [Laugh ter.] Then it strikes off over $1,200,000 on French wines. Don't you think the work iegmen will be drinking champagne three times a dayf [Laughter.] It also strikes off over three millions on laces and em broideries to help the poor men, so you see there is no reason why any man should not wear ruffles on his shirt. Then $3,000,- 000 is taken off on Silks and silk plushes for the poor man. Don't you think the workingmen will soon be going to work in silk jackets and plush trowsers? [Laugh ter ] Next $1,200,000 is taken off of kid gloves and jewelry and *IOO,OOO stricken off on perfumery. All for the benefit of the poor man. Now, if there is a Demo crat in the audience I wish he would tell oie hftw this bill is going to help the workingman. I have footed up these vari ons items with Rome others, and I find the aggregate $14,114,319 that has been stricken off in the interest of tbe poor man But that ia not all; they have thrown off $22,000,000 on the import duties of wool ens, one-half of which, or $11,000,000, was on the finer woolens which are worn al most exclusively by the rich. In other words, they have contributed $11,000,000 to the rich for the benefit of tbe poor man. [Laughter and cheers.] Unionville Items.

The galleries of the Hou«e were crowded last Thursday, five minutes after the doors opened, to hear the closing debate oa the Wilson bill. It was estimated that ten thousand people crowded into the galleries and the crush was so great that several persons were hart. Ex-Speaker Reed received an ovation when he entered the House, and during the afternoon he made the speech ol his life—a truly great effort, worthy of the time, tie occasion and hi? high reputation. But ail attempts to soften the destruc tive features of the bill failed, and at <> p. m. amid the wildest cheering of tho free traders and their followers and from the workiisgmen who filled the g^ilierie?, while Tom Johnson, Harter and thu other followers ol the Cobden club hugged them selves with joy, the Wilson free trade bill, the measure that will reduce the wages of the American workingmen to a level with those on the other side of the ocean if it should become a law, was passed by a vote of 204 Democrats and Populists in the ai firmaiive to 140 Republicans, Democrats and one Populist in the negative. The result was not unexpected. The partv whip and presidential patronage forced many Democrats into line against thi ir honest judgment and the men on the Democratic side who were loudest in their denunciation of the measure were among the first to sell their principles and be come cuckoos to ti.e great patronage dis pensers. Mr. Beltzhoover of Pennsylva nia and the ex Tammany chief, Burke Cockran of New York, are fit specimens of this class. At no time in the last two »eeks has the bill been in danger, and the final vote con firms tbe prediction that less than twenty Democrats would have the courage of their convictions. The nearest the protesting Democrats came to scoring a victor} was the vote on the income tax. Then they were able to muster 46 votes. The Re publicans did not, as a rule, vote on this proposition, but even with their solid vote it would have been adopted by a majority of at least 20. An inspection of the final vote shows some interesting features. Of the 126 Re publicans in the House. 122 were present and voted nay. The absentees were Milli kin of Maine, Houk of Tennessee, Hop kins of Pennsylvania and Sweet ol Idaho. Tho first two were detained at home by illness and had been paired with sick Dem ocrats. Mr Sipeof Pennsylvania and Mr. Brattan of Maryland. Mr. Hopkins was present for a while "with his physician in attendance, but could not stand the strain and was removed to his home in a car riage before the final vote. Mr. Sweet was also taken ill and removed to his res idence. The remaining eighteen negaiive votes were cast by seventeen Democrats and one Populist, the latter being Mr. Newlands of Nevada. The Democrats who dared to vote their convictions and in favor of protection were as follows: Sibley of Poi nsylvania. Bart lett Campbell, Covert, Cummings, Haines, flendrix, Schermerhorn and Sickles of Xew York, Cadmus of New Jersey, Sperry of Connecticut, Davey, Meyer, Price and Robertson of Louisiana, Geary of Calitor nia and Page of Rhode Island. As the vote was being taken absolute stillness prevailed There had been so mauv rumors afloat about tbe position of certain Democrats on the fiu.il vote that each side was anxious to hear the responses. The ert-dit of being the first Democrat to go on record aeainst the bill fell to Mr. Harriett of New York, and as his nay rang out he was applauded vigorously by the Republicans and the occupants of the galleries. Shortly afterward, Mr. Beltzhoover of Pennsylvania, who had denounced the measure in two vicious speeches and pro claimed himself a Randal Democrat, voted aye and the free traders went wild with enthusiam, while the galleries hissed. Bhtuchard and Boatner of Louisiana also voted aye, and were applauded. Cadmus of New Jersey came next, and as he voted uay the hall rang with applause. Less than a week ago the six Now Jersey Dem ocrats caucused and decided to vote auainst the bill if the income tux were added. To day Mr. Cadmus was the only one to so vote, and the applause was a tribute to his courage. Campbell of New York fol- lowed him in the same line, and then '■Cockran" wan called. All eyes were turn ed upon the ex-Tamraanyite,who has been bellowing against the ineomo tax for a month or more. He hesitated a moment and then meekly voted aye, to the great delight of the free-traders who applauded hiiu; as they also did Coombs of New York and Cornish of New Jersey, who followed him into the patronage camp. Covert of New York was applauded when he voted nay, and then came «n ovation. Cnmmings of New York is a former printer and a friend of tho working men, of course. When, in a load voice, he voted nay, the workingmen in the galleries applauded him to the echo and could hardly be checked. Sibley of Pennsylvania, the only one of the ten Democrats of that state to vote to protect her industries and those of the whole country, received an ovation similar to that given Cummings, and immediately afterward the veteran Gen. Sickles voted n»y amid loud applause. Sperry of Con necticut, who was the first Democrat to announce his intention to fight the bill to the last extremity and who kept his pledge to the end, al«> was roudly applauded when his "nay" rang out. Hines of Penn sylvania, who was elected to congress by the laboring men ol hirf district, came in for freee-trade applause as he voted to reduce their wages by passing the Wil son bill. As the speaker announced the result pandemonium ensued on the Democratic side. A notable feature of the vote was that out of a total membership of 352 in the House all but nine were present and voted. Ou Friday the Wilson bill went to the Senate, and Senator offered an amend ment to it providing for the free coinage of silver, the repeal ol tho 10 per cent, tax on State bauks, and establish ment of a gold reserve fund by the monthly purchase of 145,125 ounces of goid, issuing therefor gold bullion treasury notes pay able in coin in 40 years alter issue, and bearing interest at the rate ol 1-10 ol 1 per cent, per annum. This may resurrect the old and long fight on the Silver question. Un Monday the Uawuiau matter was be foro the House, and Morse and Boutelle denounced the President's policy. Ou Tuesdpy a set of resolutions white washing President Cleveland for his course in ihe Hawaiian matter were introduced, but there was not a quorum of Democrats to act upon them, and the Republicans sat mute. Hut one Democrat, Gen. Sickles, openly opposed the resolutions lie is quoted as follows: "So matter what tho action of this House, now or hereafter, it can not change the decree of destiny that, sooner or later, the Hawaiian Inlands will become a part of the United States." On Wednesday the MeCreary resoluton sustaining Cleveland's un-American policy as to Hawaii, passed the House by a vote of 17C to 57.

Speech of HON. THOMAS W. PHILLIPS, of Pennsylvania, In the House of Representatives. Friday. Jan nary 20, 1894. (The llonse being in the Committee of the Whole nn the State of the Union, and hav ing under consideration the bill [H. R -4&C4] to reduce taxation, to provide rev enue for the Government, and for other purposes —) Mr. PHILLIPS said: Mr CHAIBMAS: * I HAVE retrained from speaking heretofore on this bill or its amendments, but now it seems to me t..a. tho discussion has progressed far enough to convince this body and this nation that the proposed tariff changes should not be en acted into a law; and, although no further argument is necessary to show that the Wilson bill has already been weighed in the balanc- and found wanting, I desire to enter my protests against it on both moral and economic grounds. Cut before entering into the discussion of the question, I wish to call attention to the fact that the Democratic party claims that protection is unconstitutional. It is asserted in the Democratic platform, and reaffirmed in the majority report of the Ways and Means Committee, that a tariff for protection is unconstitutional; and this, too, in face of the fact th»t there has been protection in different periods from the foundation of the Government to the pres ent time. The Supreme Court has been open for more than a hundred years, and no one has ever brought a suit on account of the payment of the duty on the gronnd that it was unconstitutional. Why does not some Democrat appeal at once to the Supreme Court and settle this question for all time if he believes this assertion? The gentleman from Xew 1 ork [Mr. Cockran] has tried to place free trade upon high moral grounds. Ho seems to have great affection for humanity as a whole, without distinction of nation. This is shown by the number of times that the ex pressions "human race," "all mankind, "universal history,*' etc., were used in his speeches on this question. lam glad that this gentleman and others have inv ted discussion on this question upon moral grounds. If a protective tarifl can not fie defended from this standpoint, I am wil ling to yield the question and repudiate the the principle [Applause.] Protection is right because it is in strict accord with the first law of nature —the law of self defense. And if the principle of self protection is right it will as surely survive this attack as freedom survived and slavery went down in the abyss of war. The law of seif defence is universal; it pre vades all animated nature fr im the smallest insect up through all animal life to man. All defend their rights, their property, their homes, against all invaders of their own kind or any other kind. The sluggard or the Democrat need only go to the ant or tho bee to learn this rudimentary lesson, which is confirmed by reason and revela tion, and shown most clearly in God's dealings with the human race We are not compelled to treat others better than ourselves; and if we do, it is an act of mer cy or benevolence, "jtune of the meanest men that I have ever known were those that wore mean to themselves It is true "we should do unto others as we would have others do unto us," but it must be borne in mind that no one wiil voluntarily trade with another to his own disadvantage. There is no principle in law or morals that will cumpell bim to do this. Who made Europe a ruler or a judge over us, and gave it a right to dictate to us terms of tradeT Our nation is the party ol the first part, and has both the legal and moral right to say on what terms it will trade with other nations. It is evident that we can not compete with Europe while admitting their products of cheaper labor free of duty. The American laborer is better paid, better fed, better clothed, better housed, and has more advantages lor his family than the laborers of any other na'ion on earth. [Applause.] We hav« established and are trying to main tain a better industrial system and greater equality of rights and opportunities than have yet existed. This cau not be done it our labor be brought to the level of foreign countries, which would be the result of free trade. Nor are we working against the interests of laboring men in foreign Hiuutries, for their condition will improve in the future as it has in tfce past through the influences of otir institutions and ex ample Alter our great achievements are wo to be compelled by the Democratic party to surrender our justly won advan tages, to abandon our infant industries, aud to renounce our aspirations for the ad vancement of civilization and to promote the good of the race* 11 this nation were to throw its ports open to the products of underpaid labor of other countries and to unrestricted immigration from Europe and Asii, our whole industrial system would be overthrown, as was the ancient civilization by the northern hordts who plunged the world into a thousand years of darkness aud from which the Democratic party does not seem to have recovered. A man's house is his castle, anu this country is our cast I While recognizing the brotherhood of man and the kinship of the race, yet the State or the nation is as jast a distinction as the family, and he "who does not provide for his own house hold has denied the faith." That the principle of protection is right may be shown by the Jewish theocracy, a people governed by God himself. While it is true that the promise to the founder of thi nation was that through hiin all nations ol the earth should be blesred (the blessing, however, was subsequently shown to be spiritual,) it is also true that the Jew ish nation was moro exclusive in legislative enactments to prevent destruc tion of its interests and the contamination ot its subjects by contact with other people than any other nation, ancient or modern. If God himself so cared for a nation which had better laws, civilization, aud religion than others, should not this nation, which is so advanced along all these lines, pro tect its citizens and not reduce its indus tries and labor to the low level of others? That this bill is not due to moral con siderations is illustrated by the reduction of the duty on tin plate. Before tbe Mc- Kinley bill, foreigners had a monopoly of this vast industry, aud importers were sel ling a poor quantity tor a high price and would not guarantee the quality. The McKmley bill invited capital and labor to build up a new industry in our country, by placing a duty of 2 2 cents per pound ou tin plate lor the term of six years Cpou the plighted laitb or tbe Government,many citizens entered this new pursuit, expend ing large suns of money and giving em ployment to a multitude of men; and now the quality of domestic tin being made is not only guaranteed, but is superior to what we have been getting from abroad for many years. There is now a tin plate mill in the city of New Castle, in my dis trict, which cost some $300,000 and em ploys several hundred men. lam inform ed that, wtth the reduction of the duty Iroin 22t0 1 2 cents per pound, not ouh this piai t but nil others in the country wiil be compelled to shut down. Now, if the prefont duty were permitted to remain, there would be no reasonable doubt that long before the contract of the Govern ment with these people would expire they would be giving employment to thousands ot men aud supplying the country with better and cheaper tin thau we have been getting from Wales. Yet, notwithstanding this, the Demo cratic party now proposes to have this Government go back on its offer, which is in the nature of a contract, and violate it* honor. Such a transaction between nations would be a cause for war, and between in dividuals ii w< nd be fraud. This Govern ment is now about to withdraw its offer alter it has been accepted anil large sums ot money invested in good faith. May we not say to the Democratic party, which is now the Government, that you had better stop ut'd consider before you break clown or eripplo our growing industries. llerod has been considered infamous bo cause be slew the Infants of Bethlehem Tl;e Democratic party is about to follow tbe example ot llerod anu commit inlanti ci'lo by killing our intant industries. [Ap plause.] In the second place, the bill should bo opposed for economic reasons. We have a much larger acreage ot discovered coal and iron than the British Isles and the conti nent of Europe combined, and upon the Whole our ?Ual and mm deposits are more acceptable. Why should Europe J.g tbou-ands ot feet under ground and ship their product to us 3,000 miles away while we have mountains of iron ore and millions ot acres ui coal near the earth * surface* And why should they melt their rocks to to make glass to ship to this rock-ribbed continent crossed with mountain chains? Xo economic law will permit the people of one continent to manufacture and ship their products to another continent which has a greater supply of tho same materials. This process involves an absurdity like that of the old English saving about the fool ishness of "carrying coals to Sewca-tle. ' Xo philanthropy or economy, no law of God or nature, wili justify such a waste of intellectual, mechanical, and physical force. This bill is not consistent with the prin ciples of economy in that it does not cre ate. but destroys . While it may not raise sufficient revenue, it will destroy some of our industries and cripple many others. Foi example, to put wool on the free list will destroy a great industry It has been shown that we can not compete with the woolgrowers of Australia and South America without protection. This is shown by the ruinous prices at which la.-t year's clip was sold and the great slaughter ot sheep and the low price of mu'ton caused bj tin* anticipation of pnt- ting wool on the free list. There is one fact, and it seems to me the principal fact, which has been entirely overlooked by the a itbors of the bill in this disastrous propo s.non While the specious argument about cheap clothing is sounded abroad, what about clothing in a few years, when the flocks have disappeared and the shep herd with his crook ha> gone, and the bark of the shepherd dog is no longer heard in the landf When this occurs foreign wool growers will have a monopoly, and wili sell us wool and woolen goods on their own terms, as foieign manufacturers have here tofore sold us tin. The millions of sheep destroyed can not again be produced for years.and it produced we would have cheap wool only until the same process would be repeated in order to hold the supremacy of trade. This whole question of tariff should be lifted above party polities and remanded to a commission composed of impartial and iompetent men, who are not extrem ists. and who would have in view the good of the whole people. [Applause.] It should be the duty of this commission to investi gate the tariff schedule and report to each Congress any changes that they might deem best for the general welfare; and it should be understood that violent changes affecting vested rights would not be made. Those who make a business of politics might be opposed to this commission, but the people are tired of this continuous tar iff agitation and want rest and security. For a handled yiars, at periods, the agi nation of the tariff has caused terrible bus •ness depressions A century's experience shoul leach tis a lesson. In the panics directly due to the tariff changes capital ists have failed and 1< st their entire for tunes, and millions of workii'gmen have been thrown out of employment, and the widespread ruin, sorrow, and desolation has been appalling. It is time to call a halt and cease to car ry on such deadly and ruinous conflicts every four years With such a pernicious policy, what a spectacle we must present to the nations of Europe, which are not af flicted with these periodical tarill revo u nous! But we can not hope for the Demo cratic party to adopt a wise and conserva tive policy of this kind and at once relieve apprehensions. The Democratic party has power to do this, but I believe it has not ihe wisdom or disposition. The Demo cratic party always does the wrong thing but at the right time to benefit the Repub lican party. When the Republican party comes into power, and this the Democratic party makes as sure as day succeeds night, it should at once lift this whole question above party politics and forever end this tariff war, which has caused such wide spread disaster, wreck, and ruin. Mr Chairman, in regard to the placing of petroleum on the lree list, which occur red yesterday, I have this to say; that, when the Ways and Means Committee de cided to put petroleum on the lree list, members of Congress who represent dis tricts in which petroleum is produced and other members who have a knowledge of the business were flooded with letters, tel egrams, and peiitions protesting against that action. On account of this demonstration the committee restored the tarifl as against any nation which had a tariff on American oil. But now, Mr. Chairman, it seems that a greater pressure than the popular will has been brought to bear on the Democrat ic majority ol this committee, lor they have reversed their decision and again placed petroleum on the free list. There has recently been lormed in New \ ork a company to import oil from Peru and it is presumed that some of the committee have oeeh lititeuing to the persuasive arguments of this company. When the amendment placing oil on the free list came before the House, the chair man had agreed to hear uie next alier 013 colleague, Mr. Stone. But after Mr. Stone s live minutes had expired, a member wus recognized, who made 11 personal speech on Democracy. Mr. Wilson then moved that the debate on the petroleum amend ment close in fire minutes. The motion prevailed and the five minutes were given to a Democrat, who never alluded to the amendment 1 state these facts in order that the people engaged in the petroleum industry may know how much time was given to the discussion of the subject by Mr. Wilson, who comes from one of the large oil producing states. Bis fatherly care has been shown for both the coal and petroleum industries of his state by giving them a stone when they asked for brean. Mr. Chairman, I argue that petroleum should be protected because it is a now in dustry, and was made an nrticln of com mercial value by this nation. While it is mentioned in Job, one of the oldest books in the world, and by Herodotus about five hundred years before the Christian era,and by Pliny and other early writers, yet it s commercial value is due to its discovery and development in this coautry. It we had not, we should have a patent right 011 it, at least as far as we are concerned. We have not only discovered it by drilling but have invented and made all the machinery used in its development. I submit, there lore, that while other natio s may use our discovery and invention for their own ben efit, they should not bo permitted to use them for our injury. This they may do if permitted to shin petroleum to us free of duty. Auother reason for protecting petrolemu is the number of industries embraced in its production, manufacture, and marketing. Among these may be mentioned iron in constructing engines, boilers, drilling tools tai ks, tank cars, casing, tubiug, pipe line, tin, timber, and coal. And equally nunier ous and varied are tbe workinginen em ployed whose wages, ii tbere is not protec tion, may be greatly reduced. Mr. Chairman, another reason why the Government should bo considerate of tins industry ia because during the war for the preservation of the Union it levied a tax ol $1 per barrel and collected large sums ol money upon oil, although the tax was lo cal, aud therefore, according to subsequent decisions of the Supreme Court, unconsti tutional. We ask for protection because other na tions while profiting by our discovery aud inventions have develop, d large fields ol oil and have put a prohibitory tariff ou our product. After the discovery of the enormous oil tields in Bussia, due to our inventions aud skilled workmen, Uussia has not only put a prohibitory taritl on our oil but has recentl) shipped some cargoes to this country. This snows conclusively that the present low duty on oil should be increased instead of removed. I had pre pared an amendment placing a duty ol 25 cents per barrel on crude, and 1 tent a gal lon on lubricating and rclined oil. But as before explained had not the opportunity to offer it. The Russian oil, wo are informed, can he produced at the wells lor 8 or 10 cents per barrel, and notwithstanding its interior quality may oe shipped in the near luturu to this country. Tho Peruvian oil is similar t» ours It is produced in qoantitieson tbeocean sh< re and can be cheaply transported to the Pa cifio coa»t. which is now beginning to produce oil it-elf. The importation has already begun, and yet Peru has a prohibi tory duty "u our oil. Canada has a duty of 7 cents per gallon on relined oil, and this is double the cost el re tilled oil at our works. Canada also pro duces oil. therefore its duty is a discrimin ation against us. The petroleum business has grown to bo a vast industry. Since its discovery iu J8o!> we have produced abont 000.000,000 barrels of oil. Xotw itbstand iug the high duty placed upon It by t«r eigu nations, it has stood lor years third on our export list, and its exported products have amounted to more than $ 1,100,000,000. When we consider the vastness ol the bus iness, extending over many states, and em bracing so many pursuits, it is most (sur prising that it should be placed upon the Iree list witnont permitting its discussion before the H >u»e.
