The conferee* of the Arnistr.iDg-Jeffer ton- Indiana district could not agree at Brookville last Saturday, but on Monday, Heifer, ol Kittanning was renominated; and at Williamsport, Tuesday, the trouble in tbe 16th Congressional District was set tled on the 573 rd ballot by the nomination of F.

Ya., the author of the tariff law, was banquetted at the London Chamber of Commerce Thurs day night, aud in response to a toast made free trade speech. Hastings spoke at Bloomsburg.Towanda, Shamekin, Lancaster, and Phil'a. during the past few days. At the Democratic Congressional con ference, held in Butler last Thursday, Joseph C" Vanderlin Esq. of Butler, was made tbe Democratic nominee for Congress in this district. There is only one way that we know of whereby a political party can do anything to make high wages, and that is by in creasing the demand for labor. The only way to increase the demand for labor is by encouraging onr citizens to invest their money in productive enterprise*, and the only way to give such encouragement is by maintaining judicious protective tariff* and keeping the currency sound. War Notea. All the Chinese officer* who showed the white feather during the late land and naval engagements with the Japanese are having their heads cut off as fast as the court of inquiry convicts them. The Japanese army in Southern Corea was attacked by a fanatical religious sect. The Japanese legation at Washington received word, Friday, of the a.lvance of their army into China. IT WAS a very harmless bitof by-play for Mr. Wilson to 'warn' his English friends that they would eventually be the suf ferers by the new American policy—that we would be the chief beneficiaries, in that, by reason of our enlarged oppor tunities, we would speedily outstrip all competitors for our own markets, while sending greater volumes of exports abroad than ever before. It is the bird iQ hand which the Londoner prefers, and having that Mr. Wilson may be left to make the moat of his flock in the bush. As bear ing on this very point, Mr. Robert P. Porter, who is now in England, has point ed out that under the McKinley tariff the exports from Leeds to the Unitrd States, as compared with a corresponding period under the tariff of 1886, decreased 87* per cent, and those of Bradford fell off 47| P>r cent, representing in those two cities alone a round $40,000,000. This is a sample of the way in whioh McKinleyism is ruining American interests. On the other hand, the Yorkshire manufactur ers boast of their ability to close up the American woolen mills under a 40 per cent ad valorem duly on woolen goods, and no one doubts that they will do so they can.—Com.

At Gallipolis, 0. last Friday eight in a beautiful park oil the bank of the Ohio river the author of the McKinley tariff law, paid his compliment# to the author of the Wil son tariff law It was a notable occasion. There was a good-sired audience present, conposad in part of West Virginians, who joined as heartily as their Ohio neighbors in applauding the satirical references to the famous West Virginian who is the head of the Ways and Means Committee of the Xational House ol Representatives. Mr. Wilson. In the eonr*e of his long address Governor McKinley inquired what indus tries the tariff law of 1»M created, and what existing industries it had stimulated, and said: I find answer to my question in tl« newspaper dHpateles of to-day from Lon don, furnishing particulars of a banqn. t given by the Chamber of Commerce of London to Mr. Wilson, member of Con gress from the State of West \ irginia, whose rugged hillsides I see just over the river. Sir Albert Kaye Rollitt, who presided -t tbe banquet, sud that Mr. Wilson s name had become honored and familiar in Eng land, and that Loudon in honoring hi-i. honored itself; that the new tariff .aw, while it might not have realized the aspire tions of its promoters, bad already benefit ed England. Furnaces have been re-open ed m Wales and Yorkshire, and an im petus has been given to the textile indus tries. This will be cheering news to the people of the United States, and will bring com fort to the idle men who for more than a year have been waiting for tbe American mills to re-open. You have not heard of any commercial body in the United States through its spokesman declaring that any industries m America have been stimulated by this law, whatever benefits have gone to other countries. While the banquet at London was pro ceeding, the Board of Trade of Edinburgh sent its congratulations. There was a siu gular absence of any American dispatches. [Prolonged applause.] Here is a word ol encouragnment which Mr. Wilson himself gave to the gentleman of London. He said: Oar protectionists have been building defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us in our markets. The tariff reformers are breaking down these defenses. That is what we object to. If we do not defend onr home markets against the products of the cheaper labor ot other conn" tries, who willT Is it any wonder that the Chamber of Commerce of London applaud ed Mr. Wilson when he uttered such senti mentf Mr. Wilson even despairs of free govern ment, for he said we are being rapidly sobered, though unanpalled by the truth forced upon u», that of all human govern ments a free government is the most com plex and difficult, and, judging from the world's experience, the mo.it uncertain and short-lived. I beg to assure Mr. Wilson of West Virginia, that the Government of the United States, resting a* it does upon the will of a free people, is safe and secure quite as secure as the governments that are conducted by the titled few; and that a free people like ours, capable of governing them selves, and having so demostrated for more than 100 years, will be alert enough to see to it that no industrial policy shall long continue in this country that will lower the conditions of its people to the level of their European rivals aud rob them of their dignity and independence. Tiu daily papers of fait week stated that there was great enthusiasm among the Tammany delegates to the Saratoga convention, and well there might be The supplies they carrie 1 with then would in dicate that there was occasion for a good deal of enthusiasm.

With bat oue dissenting rote, cast by a Democrat, the Ohio Wool Grower*' asso ciation, in thirteenth annual convention at Columbu«, last Tuesday adopted a pro test against free wool that is replete with significance. So sharp and keen is it that we are persuaded to republish it entire. "For over seventy-eight years," it says, "there have been high tariff duties, more or less protective, upon wool. The Gor man law not only denies wool growers the benefit of a tariff for revenue, but places wool on the free list, though not one citi ren, by petition to congress, asked it. Un til President Cleveland's free wool mes sage of December, 1887, all political par ties favored protection for the wool in dustry. The price of foreign wool imports is now so low that without protective tariffs American wool growers cannot suc cessfully compete with them. Free wool as a permanent policy would substantially destroy the American wool industry and in a large measure annihilate the capital invested therein. The threat of free wool has reduced the value of onr 45,000,000 sheep nearly $70,000,000, and reduced the price of wool clip of 1894 more than $30,000,000 below the normal under ade quate protection. The Gorman law at tack on agricultural interests is aggra vated by the fact that the odious wliisky trust and the sugar trust and others are amply provided for and protection pro fessedly if not actually adequate is given to most of our manufacturing industries, and free coal, iron ore and other raw ma terials. Free wool is an infamous and odious discrimination and conspiracy against all our agricultural industries. "As a permanent policy it would drive a million of wool growers from sheep hus bandry into increased production of hay, wheat, corn, oats, cotton and other pro ducts, destroy our sheep, and reduce the demand they would make for food and thus add to our existing overproduction and low prices the ruin of still further overproduction. This would take from all farmers a large measure of their just income and render them unable to patron ize merchants, grocers, mechanics, schools and churches. All industrial and other •lasses would be involved in common dis aster. Free wool is a blow to civilization and progress. Immense imports of low priced wools would supplant to a large extent tbe use of cotton, and thus bring disaster to the planters of the south. In 1893 the imports for consumption of the third class wools were 133,197,5ttl pounds, at a valuation of 7.75 cents per pound. "Why is free wool thrust upon th country? Not one of all the senators who voted for the Gorman bill ventured to give any reason in support of free wool. Their silence is a confession of its injustice, and that it means ruin. It is a conspiracy with four purposes: (1) To add to existing over production of cereals, cotton and other farm products, and still further re duce prices already ruinously low. (2) To alienate wool growers from the protect! ve policy, and thus enlarge the policy of free trade. (3) With cheap foreign wool and protective duties on manufactures, to limit manufacturing to the eastern cities and New England states. (4) Its political purpose is to win to the Democratic-Gor man party a few New England states, and punish the wool growing states. The pre tense of cheaper clothing is false and fraudulent. With the destruction of American flocks and with manufactures limited to a narrow section, combinations and trusts would extort upon the people with a monopoly of wool and woolen goods. The government must have reve nue. If not derived from duties the peo ple will pay in some other form. The wool tariff yielded in 1898 18,147,219. The Gorman bill surrenders the wool tariff revenue, but imposes five times greater burdens by a tariff tax on sugar of $40,- 000,000 annually. "We indorse the doctrine announced by the national grange that while protection is accorded to any industry, it should also be to wool. Full and adequate protection for the wool industry would soon increase our 45,000,000 sheep to a required 110,000,- 000, furnishing 850,000,000 pounds of wool annually—all needed, and we would im port none. This would save an annual ex port of gold of $60,000,000 or more to buy foreign wool from countries which take substantially nothing from us in return but gold. It would keep our finances on a solid basis. It would mak<- such an in creased demand for pasturage, hay, oats and corn as to increase these products and thus secure fair prices. It would enlarge the resources of more than 80,000,000 of the agricultural classes, and thus by their patronage to other classes give prosperity to all. "It been proved that no foreiKn wool is needed to mix with ours for suc cessful manufacture. What, then, shall small wool irrowers do? The free wool policy cannot be reversed uutil after 1880. In the meantime sheep cannot hi- made to [>ay for the amount of capital which is invested and lalior in producing wool. The true policy is: Fatten the wethers and old ewes; sell them for mutton; keep the breeding ewes and be ready to rapidly in crease the flocks after lSUfi. I jet all the people who desire prosperity for Ameri cans rather than for foreigners vote for no candidate for congress who doea not favor protection equally to all American industries, which by its aid can be nia<te to furnish all needed supplies at fair American prices. The free wool Infamy will soon be wiped out, never more to re turn, and the people, painfully admon ished by the ruin of the last two years, will not soon demand again a change to the policy which brought it on." If protection is good for the interests of a given industry, a given section or a given party, it is good for the interests of all the people. Iu singling out the agri cultural interests for special attack, while their own cotton growers and sugar plan ters come in for careful consideration, the Democratic tariff menders displayed the real animus of their bogus tariff reform campaign, ami offered to history another proof of their unfltuess to govern. MB. Hll.l. don't know what he will do about it. If bo hang* on long enough the people of Xew York will convince him that they knew r. hat they were going to to about it even when he waslo do-ibt. A FKAIJD, BAVB BINUKKLY Mr. Hingerly, who was the Democratic candidate for governor iu Pennsylvania until a short time ago, when he retired, is not one of the new converts to the free trade theory. On the contrary, he was one of the original Penusyluariia free trader*, and his influence had much to do with such a spread of the theory as re sulted in the Democratic victory of IHJC-i, from which resulted the disastrous condi tion of the country uuder whicli the peo ple have endured so much suffering for several years. As far back as IRW, ou May SJtt of that year, we And the followlug in the editorial columns of Mr. Slngerly's paper, the Philadelphia Record: "As between a Democratic protectionist and a Republican protectionist, other things being equal, The Record is in favor of a Republican every time. The Demo cratic protectionist Is a fraud. The Dem ocratlc party has never admitted the right of the government to levy a protective tax. The power of taxation was conferred upon congress to raise revenue to pay the expenses of government. Whenever the powfcr is used for any other purpose it is absurd. Judge Black was right when he declared that no man could be a pro tectionist and lie a Democrat " Mr. Siugerly has not changed his views on this point, lie Is opposed to protection toAmerican worklngmen, and every vote cast for him will lie safely regarded as an evidence that, the man who casts it ap proves the same policy. That is exactly why so many I*cuusy4vaniatis who have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket will not vote it this year. UliOK your neighbor to come out and vote, if he has neglected this duty often heretofore ! ;irt urging him now anil have hiui ready on election day. "<>.* to I'ekin" is now the war-cry in Ja fit ISSC t. It M.AIK. The Philadelphia Press nails Mr. Sls gerly to«th« issue from which he is trying to escape by quoting from an ISS6 utter ance of his newspaper that comes in very handy. The Press says: "The esteemed Record Is doing Its ut most to make it appear that in a cam paign for the election of governor there ought to be no tariff discussion; that the tariff opinions <Si a candidate for governor cannot be of any consequence. It has not always held that opinion. "When in June, 1886, the Democrats of the state were canvassing the merits of several gentlemen as possible guberna torial nominees The Record said: " 'lt has gone out with some show of au thority that Mr. Mortimer F. Elliott, of Tioga county, would allow his nam* to be used as a compromise candidate for gov ernor. It it is important to know whether Mr. Elliott standi with the Democratic party or with Mr. Randall on the question of tariff reduction and revision. Demo crats of Pennsylvania should run a Dem ocrat for governor.' "If it was important to know the tariff views of a candidate for governor eight years ago, when there was no disturbance Of the country on uccountof the tariff and no immediate menace of it, there is fai greater reason now that the country has suffered for eighteen months of Demo cratic administration, with its threat and purpose to wipe out protection. The peo ple, in fact, were never so much concerned in that question, and with the exception of the issues of the war have never had a more important one. "Mr. Singerly was not nominated fot the purpose of keeping the tariff issue in the background, but rather for the pur pose of obtruding it. If he represents anything in the Democratic party it is a steady advocacy of the policy of free trade. It is the only thing in which he has al ways been a Democrat, and most of the time for the past twelve or fifteen years he has given very little support, and some ttmes very active opposition to Demo cratic state nominees because they were not up with him on the tariff question. He wanted to know where Mr. Elliott stood on that issue, and when Mr. Black was finally made the candidate Mr. Singerly declared he ought to be beaten because the tariff part of the platform did not suit him. There was leas reason for the tariff issue that year than there is now. "On this point Mr. Singerly's candidacy is not to lie misunderstood. He is in the most radical free trade position yet reached in Pennsylvania. If it were possible for him to be elected, or to reduce the Repub lican majority in any significant degree, it would be heralded all over the country as Pennsylvania's desertion of protection. None would make more use of such an interpretation of the result than those who are trying to make it appear that the tariff has nothing to do with the voting in Pennsylvania this year. It has a great deal to do with it, as will be discovered when the votes are counted. "Mr. Singerly, who has been so much dissatisfied with previous Democratic can didates for governor because they were not altogether of his way of thinking on the tariff question, now has a candidate whose tariff views he cannot question. Let him stand up to his candidate's record." EFFECTS or TIIK NKIV TARIFF. In considering the possible effects of this new tariff it is well to remember that our bonded warehouses were crammed with goods awaiting its passage. So it has been with every great reduction of our tariff duties. Always the foreign producer has taken for granted that his opportunity is come, and thut the markets of America are delivered over to him. In 1753 the con clusion of peace with England abolished the restrictions the war had laid on im portations. The country was deluged with Knglish (?oods which had to be sold below cost. Domestic industry was at a standstill. The peace of 1815 terminated the double duties of the tariff of 1812, aud the restrictions of war upon commerce. We then saw another deluge of English goods. These also had to be sold at a sac rifice, and Brougham said this was no loss to England, as it served to to kill off the American manufactures "which the war had forced into existence, contrary to t ie natural courseof things." The reductiou of duties in IK3o, 1847 and 1857 caused a great increase in importations. How di rectly such chanKes work on imports was seen in the fall of 1*92, when great quan tltiea of goods were rushed in to evade the higher duties of the McKinley tariff. Before the Gorman bill became a law the British exporter had been keeping the quantity of goods he placed on our mar ket down to a minimum. He sent us less, aud of what he sent all that was not needed at once be has kept in bond until the new law went into operation. But he has not made lesa, nor has he lesa to sell. On the contrary, in the depressed condi tion of his Europeau and Aidatio trade he has a great mass of goods on his hands, which are coming to America. In the present state of trade we become a "sac rifice market" fot the surplus of British goods. And for ftis the new tariff is ad mirably suited. H levies ad valorem in stead of specific duties, so that the duties will fall with every fall in prices , aud thus diminish to a shadow the little pro tection the new tariff offers. IT may be argued that the lower wagu to lie earned under free trade will go fur ther in purchases, and that the working man will Rain an a consumer all, and, more than all v he loses as a producer. First of all, if free trade means for him no employment at all, his wages will not go far in buying eveu Manchester cotton and G#rman hardwares. If these things are to come in like a flood they will cease to be made at home in the same quanti ties, and many of those who are now mak ing them will be thrown oat of work. Their free trade friends will thus have given some of our workmen time to medi tate on the maxim: "Buy in the cheapest market and sell in tho dearest." They will soon see that the cheapest market of fers no great advantage for buying when you have nothing to buy with. Mis. SlNOF.ai.r lias become a candidate again, but after the November vote is •ouuted he will be well over the habit. SKVF.RAI, of our Judges in Pennsylvania have conspicoouely honored the high trust confided to thorn by tho hold stand they have taken against the naturalization of aliens who have no knowledge or our insti tution*, no purpose to assimilate with our people, and no capacity for good citizen ship even if they meant loyal devotion to the government. PlTTHlifß'i will try to get the next Re publican National Convention. A Spidertown Reporter's view of the Democratic party at present, is as follows: The Democratic party is without honor. It is without B national leader. It in the party without principle. It is the party that fears education. It is the oarty that scorns American la bor and prefers foreign made goods. It is the party not to be trusted for it has wreck e 1 the country every time it has had th» power. It is tho party that made more paupers and tramps the pait two years than were made during the 20 years previous. It is the party that points with pride to tho saving made to tho government by taking pensions from the poor and deserv ing Union soldier. It is the pprty that has managed to live bv false pretense and has failed to carry out one (.ingle promise made. Vet you see the same old guy* standing up for the party. It is the party that all are tired of; tho party that will dig its own grave, attend its own funeral, and be burihd out of the sight of decent humanity, now and forever 11. A. F.

The dinner in honor of Mr. ilson, who Was the author of the Wilson tariff bill, given by the London Chamber of Com merce a few* evenings ago, was aretnarka ble affair in gome respects, but it can hardly be wondered that the gentlemen of the London Chamber of Commerce, inter ested as they are in the extending of the trade of England, should feel called upon to dine Mr. Wilson, who was so conspic uously prominent in the passage of the new tariff law, under which the Lon doners have found it possible to send so many more of the articles manufactured In their country into the L nited States. Without any other evidence to prove it we are safe in assuming that is toe much intelligence among American citi zens to prompt them in coming to any other conclusion than that the British gentlemen interested in the extension ol the trade of their own country „aw some thing of advantage to them in the taritl efforts of Mr. Wilson, or they would not have gone to the trouble and expense ol giving a feast in his honor. To be sure, there are plenty of other evi dences of the delight of Englishmen in terested in the promotion of their own trade over the tariff policy advocated by Mr. Wilson and the party he represents, but this adds a new one, readily grasped, and cannot fail to appeal to the good sense of the honest Democrats who would not knowingly cast a vote calculated tc place in power those who are willing and anxious to surrender our markets to tht cheap labor productions of another coun try, to the certain detriment of our own manufacturers and the workingmen whe are employed by them. Those Democrats who are yet of the opinion that they will vote the ticket of the party of which Mr. Wilson is a leader may well be expected to stop and consider seriously what this honor paid by the London Chamber of Commerce to Mr. Wilson really means. If they will give the subject any consider ation it cannot be doubted that they will not hesitate about joiniiig the great ma jority who have already made up theii minds that the best way to keep English men from providing dinners for Mr. Y\ il son, and others like him, is to provide policy of government for the L nitei States under which the workingmen and their families can count on more and bet ter dinners than many of them have en joyed since the party and the policy ol Mr. Wilson came into power. . At the London dinner the toast to Mr. Wilson was proposed by Sir Albert Kol lit. Mark the language used on the occa sion by Sir Rollit: Nothing, he went on, could be worse than a war between the two great allies. That was why arbitration in the Ala bama aud Bering sea cases was accept able to great Britain. He was not sure that the worst wars of the future would not be tariff wars. If, as he hoped, the period of tariffs was beginning to end, both countries ought to honor Mr. Wil son. The new tariff might not have real ized the aspirations of its promoters, but it had established a freer system of trade and substituted a certainty for an uncer tainty, to the benefit of both countries. Benefltii ha<l already b«en experienced In England. Furnace* had been reopened In Wales aud in Yorkshire, and an im petus had been given to the textile In duatrlee. He again welcomed Mr. Wil son and Mr. Morton, whose names he bad coupled In the toast. And the response of Mr. Wilson is ol equal interest. There was no attempt be tween the two who so well understood each other to hold back anything or try to refrain from speaking to the point. Mr. Wilson said, among other things: "Oar protectionists have been building defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us in our hoiue market. The tariff reformers are break log down thftHo defend**- * 4 Let • compete iu all the markets of the w... Xot only is our production <if cotton and food products growing more rapidly than our consumption, but we have today a manufacturing plant which, urged to its full capacity, can in six months fully meet our demands for » year." Are there any people here left who think for themselves who will give support to the Wilson policy, which is the Demo cratic policy, after such an admission as that made by Wilson in London?
