Political Notes.
In New York City it i» now a square
fight between the Tammany ticket and a
Union ticket supported by the Committee
of Seventy, the Republicans, the State
Democracy, and other local clubs.
Hastings had a large and enthusiast ic
audience at Carnegie Hall. Allegheny, last
Friday night, and he made an elaborate
and stirring speech. He spoke at Beaver
Falls, Elwood, and New Castle on Satur
day; spent Sunday in Pittsburg, spoke at
Greenville. Monday night, wheie ne re
ceived a most enthusiastic welcome; was
at Franklin, Oil City and Titnsville, Tues
day. and ileadville Wednesday.
McKinley has been speaking in Michi
gan and Ohio during the past few days.
General Hastings' tour ot the State is
one continuous ovation and at every meet
ing he is given a most enthusiastic recep
tion It looks now as though his majority
will be larger than that given Grow last
February. Indeed the Democrats might as
well make a motion to make his election
unanimous.
Rkpubmcass shoald not forget that the
coming election is one of great importance
to our industries. Let every republican
turn out and vote the straight ticket on
Nov. 6th.
At Wasui*otos C. H. Ohio, on Wed
nesday a tuob attacked a jail and three
men were killed by the militia. A negro
had committed an assault on an old lady
and was fully identified. The mob was
composed of a large number of determined
men. The militia was ordered out and
found it necessary to fire with the result
above noted. The greatest excitement
exists.
China Sue* for Peace.
A dispatch from Shanghai, dated Oct.
12th. said: —
China is suing for peace through the
British Minister at Tokio. She offers to
recognize the independei.ee of Corea and
to pay a large sum indemnity.
This proposal emanates from Prince
Kung und Li Hung Chang.
The British Minister, Mr. O'Connor, is
waiting for Japan's reply at Pekin.
TIIKRK is no ohange in the Ballot Law,
a cross in the circle at the head or the first
column is a vote for the whole Republi
can Ticket. -
J room® from the tenor of the local
which appeared in tbe IftraUl of last week,
those "two young men of Republican per
suasion" must be political ringsters, while
from the standpoint of any unbiased person
these two young men are not, and neither
have they been, guilty of manipulating as
the Herald would try to make it appear.
Had our Democratic friend made even a
shadow of an effort to ascertain whether
or not there was any truth in the accusa
tion, as appears in hia paper, he would
never have put in print such insulting
language, all of which is basely false.
Brother Editor, don't be so willing or
eager to get after your Republican friends
unless after a full inquiry tbe circumstances
justly and beyond question warrant such a
course on your part.
Reviving an old Scandal.
Edward Shaffer and Thomas Downing,
two residents of Beaver county, have each
begun a suit against William Wallace, Re
publican candidate for president judge of
Lawrence county to recover $449.75. The
plaintiffs claim that in 1890, they were
delnga'es from Beaver county to a con
gressional convention T'hich was held at
New Castle. They stated that William
Wallace, who was a warm supporter of
Maj Alexander McDowell of Sharon for
congress, offered them and others $1,200
for voting for McDowell. That fall Wm.
Wallace was indicted by the grand jury on
the charge of offering bribes to the dele
gates. Shaffer and Downing allege that
lie came to them and told them that if they
would refuse to testify against liim (Wal
lace), he would pay all their fines, costs
and other expenses This, they allege, he
has failed to do and they each demand
$449.75.
In speaking of the case, Mr. Wallace
said to a reporter: "This is merely a sharp
dodge of tbe enemy and I am only sorry
that I cannot push the case before tho
election.''
CONSULT with you' neighbor and ar
range to have every Republican vote cast
on Nov. 6th.

A Horrible Condition ol Affairs at Day
ton Home.
"Within the past few years public atten
tion has been called to the mortality
among tbe old Union soldiers, inmates of
tho National Soldiers' Home at Dayton,
just after penaion day, or when they are
flush with money. It has been openly
charged that the old soldiers were mur
dered in the dives that have been estab
lished near the Home, but while tbe vic
tims have been found dead, bearing every
evidence of baviug been foully dealt
with, nothing has been done to bunt
down the murderers and punish thuui to
the full extent of the law. It seems that
the officials of the Home w. ra luke warm
in endeavoring to bring tbe murderers to
justice, evidently on the grouud that it
was none of their business, and what was
nono of their business was nobody's busi
ness. And so the dive-keepers and own
ers ol brothels surrounding the Home kept
up their murdering and robbing until the
world outside of Dayton and vicinity be
gan to wonder at the strange stories they
heard.
It remained for the Pittsburg t'ommer
rial-Oa:ctii to run down these tales of
murder and lay bare tbe awful condition
of affairs For that purpose the Commer
cial-Gazette sent to Dayton a member of
its staff, who made a thorough inve»tiga
tfou and whose stories of murder and de
bauchery are simply horrible. He tolls of
thelnringof crippled veterans into dens
of vice and their murder or terrible abuse
from the fi-uds who robbed them. H* re
lates instances of cruelty that seem almost
incredible on the part of human beings,
tbe victims in every instance being old
soldiers One might suppose thai, tbe offi
cials of the Home would be moved by the
commonest im-tincts of humanity to ferret
out tiiO perpetrators of these murders,
but they sit with folded hauds while the
word of robbery and death goes on.
The Governer of the Home. Col. J. B.
Thomas, is, according to the correspond
ent free to admit that man; old soldiers
leave tbe world in mysterious ways, but
does not like to have it said that there are
so many murders in the vicinity of the
Home. As for robberies and assaults, he
is fr-u to that they are of common oc
currence.

A Monopoly in Wool.
An Ohio wool producer who
through Pittsburg a few days ago talked
as follows: . . ,
"We hare been in the sheep raising busi
ness in Highland, Adams, and Warren
counties, 0., sinoe 1888," he said, ' having
several thousand acres of leased land and
at present 8,000 sheep of the finer wool
producing breeds Two years ago we val
ued our sheep at an average of $5.50 each.
We s ild wool for from 26 to 32 cents per
pound, and had a good profit. The fann
ers all around us. on a large or small scale,
made a good profit on their production
also. ,
"It's different now We can buy sheep
of the common breeds lor.sl to $1.25 each
in any number. Fine Southdowns are
worth less than $2, and any number of
them are to be bad. We sold our WHO
this year for 14 cents, in anticipation ot
the McKinley bill being annulled, and lost
$0 000 in cold cash. Oar loss, however,
was nothing to that ot hundreds of farmers
all through Ohio, who had nothing out
their wool yield to live OD. Th.-y had act
ually expended in producing their woo!
crop more than in brought them, and alter
selling the crop were in debt on it.
"While 14 cents seems a very low figure
it is not as low as we musi get. Under
the present law Australian wool is brought
into this country and sold at 11 and 1-
cents a pound. In order to meet that
price we must adopt Australian methods
That is what we propose to do It is
simply a cold business proposition with
° B "We have figured it down fine and tav.i
ascertained that with a sufficiently
investment we can make 4 per cent per
annum even under the present law Ot
course, it means monopoly and the closest
kind of expenditure in wages and supplies
but that is the way it is done in Lugland
and Australia and we must follow the same
pl» n - ..
"The plan is simply this: We propose
to gei $50,000 or $60,000 ol Eastern capital
invested. With our present lands, lenses
and stock, this will make a big investment.
We will then buv 30,000 to 50,000 more
sheep, of the better breeds, and acquire **
much more land as necessary. We will
pay bed rock prices, spot cash, tor sheep
and land. In the present financial condi
tion of the farmers, this will be even lower
than the figures I havo givea. We expect
to lease all the land we want for from .V) to
40 cents an acre.
'•Next comes the question of labor, it
requires a large force of men to cairy on
the business on the scale we have been
conducting it; but on the scale we propose
to go it will be proportionately larger.
We had been paying oar hands the same
price that all the farmers were paying up
until 18 months ago, when the drop in
prices, caused by anticipated tariff reduc
tions. came along. The rate was from $-0
to $22 per month and board.
"We out the rata to $lO per month and
board. e can get more men than we
want at even that figure, and it will pro
bably be necessary to reduce it even more
to produce a profit. Not only that, but
we have been compelled to reduce our
working force and increase the working
hours of men to keep level with current
expenses. .
"Now, that is the way wool is produced
in the foreign wool producing countries.
The ordinary farmer cannot do it and make
a living. It is only where large capital is
invested, the business conducted on a
grand scale, the lowest wages paid, strict
est economy practiced and all supplies pur
ohased in large qnanities at bed rock prices
that even a small profit can be made
Four per cent is nowadays a fair interest
on a large investment and we have figured
that we can make that by following the
plan of our foreign competitors.
In Honor of Robert Morris.
Robert Morris, the financier of the Revo
lution, wait honored at Batavia, N. Y.
last Saturday by the dedication as a me
morial to him of the old Land Office of th«
Holland Purchase, buili about the year
1804 and bought in 1894 by the Holland
Purchase Historical Society, that it might
be preserved uuU future generations.
Very appropriately the chief dedicatory
address was made by Johu G. Carlisle,
Secretary of the Treasury, and lineal de
scendants of the great Superintendent of
Finance were present amonge the multi
tude of listeners. All of President Cieve
land's Cabinet were present except itie
Attorney General and the Secretary of
Agriculture.
Secretary Carlisle spoke at length of the
valuable services ol the financier ol the
Revolution and called attention to the neg
lect hitheito to erect a monument to his
memory. He then proceeded to sketch
in detail the incident of Morris' career,
beginning with his birtti iu England in
17<M, his arrival in Philadelphia, hif early
career as a merchant and bis entrance into
the politics of the revolution.
Then followed arebersal of the financial
struggles of the Revolutionary period down
to the complications, distresses and hard
ships that befell the country under the
"Continental money" which had been put
in circulation?
Morris at once directed bis attention to
the establishment of a national bauk as an
auxiliary or aid to the Government in the
conduct of its financial affairs, and alter
much opposition be succeeded iu securing
a charter for the bank of North America,
with a capital of $400,000, to be located at
Philadelphia. It was the first bank in
America that redeemed its notes iu specie
on presentation, and it undoubtedly auord
ed great assistance to the Government by
granting loans from time to tune and by
effecting exchanges on the pnblic account
for a little while tbe uot.es of the bank
were at a discount, but they >;oou rose to
par, and never after ware depreciated.
Mr. Carlisle then explained at length the
plan of wbicb Morris submitted to Cou
grees for a uniform coinage, but which was
largely prepared by Gouvernour Morris,
acd described other operations wbicti he
introduced into the financial system of tbe
Confederation, concluding with the retire
ment from tbe office of Superintendent of
Finance in 1748
In 1786, at the solicitalion of bis fellow
citizens, he became a member of the Penn
sylvania Legislature, and in 1787 hu was
elected a delegate to the great convention
which framed the present Constitution ol
the United States. When that iustru
luent had been ratified by the States be
and William Maclay were chosen the first
Senatois from Pennsylvania.
Mortis died on the eighth day of May,
1800, in the seventy-third year of his age,
and was buried iu a little church yard on
Second street, in Philadelphia, where his
remains now rest, with no monnmt-lit over
them except an ordinary stone slab
As Robert Morris in bis day owned
innch of tte land now composing Butler
county, including the gMuud upon which
our town now stands, *e are pleased to
see the above tribute to bis memory. Hut
how few there are now among us that ap
preciate his memory or services to his
country, is it not surprising that his re
mains lay in Philadelphia, the city ol bis
residence and labors, in a little church
yard with no monument over them, except
an ordinary stone slab. It seems to us a
tuan who rendered so great service to his
couutry in the days of the Revolution is
entitled to a greater moiiuuient than that.
As Washington was said to be tbe "sword"
so was Robert Morris termed the "purse"
of tbe Revolution, from the leuble States
that he then pledged all bis private for
tune to save, wo have now a mighty He
public of States bounded by the seas.
Monuments should be more numerous to
tell to tbe present generation, and all fu
ture ones, the story of the great services,
the unselfish patriotism, as >vell as the
melancholy close of the life ol Robert
Morris.
The Commission's Convention.
Commissioner MoCollougb, Clerk Meals
and Attorney Painter returned from their
trip to Pottsville, where they attended tae
Commissioner's Convention, Saturday
noon.
This was the Bth annual convention ol
the County Commissioners of the State,
and nearly all the coun'.ies were represent
ed.
Tbo convention organic -d Tuesday morn
ing. listened to the address of welcome
and tbe responses, and appointed a com
mittee on resolutions.
That afternoon one of tbe delegates from
Allegheny county told of the trouble they
han in making assessments iu that county.
They assess professional men, clerks and
laborers at different figures, and in so do
ing do not (it was said) follow the law.
Another delegate spoke on "Tri eunial As
sessments," and read extracts troin a pro
posed law.
That evening the delegates were bau
quetted at a hall, and afterwards listened
to some music and recitations.
Wednesday morning a string of resolu
tions were adopted, some of which con
tained recommendations on legislation
That afternoon Meadrille was selected
as the place for the next meeting, somo
more resolutions were pas.-ed and the con
vention adjourned.
NOTES.
The biggest man in the contention was
a Berks couDty Commissioner. He weighs
301 pounds.
Pottsville is a town of about 15,000 peo
ple. It has 72 saloons, and there are 122
pervoni in its jail.
WIISOVS UIMHIN SPEECH.
What the Leading BritUh l*a;«r Had to
S*y About the Free Trade Professor.
A cordial welcome was extended on
Thursday evening by the meml>ers of the
London chamlier of commerce to Mr W.
L. Wilson, the author of the original
measure for the revision of the 1 nlted
States tariff, which was unhappily trans
formed by the senate into a bill only a de
gree less protectionist than that bearing
the name of Mr. McKinley. Mr. Wilson
deserves all honor for making a stout,
though a not very successful fight on be
half of a system which would have been
at least an approach to the recognition of
the principle that freedom of trade is more
favorable to the development of a great
commercial and industrial community
than protection. It is not Mr. Wilson's
fault that the measure which has actually
become law is, to use the language of
President Cleveland's lettejvnfter its pjuss
age through the senate, 'nft in line with
honest tariff reform." There is much that
is instructive as well as interesting in Mr.
Wilson's speech at the dinner given to him
by the chamber of commerce, all the more
because a good deal of it appears to have
been intended for American readers as
well as British auditors.
Mr. Wilson was naturally anxious not to
say anything which might tend to jeopard
ize the prospects of his party. * *. * "We
have," says Mr. Wilson, "just fought and
just won "the first battle in that conflict."
It is to be feared that Mr. Wilson's praise
worthy zeal makes him somewhat forget
ful of the warning that he that girdeth on
his harness should n Jt boast himself as ha
that putteth it off. The victory over the
protectionists has been incomplete, and its
results, inadequate as they are, can by no
means be regarded as placed beyond doubt.
It was certainly far from what earnest
tariff reformers, not to speak of convinced
free traders, confidently exported when Mr.
Cleveland was raised to the presidency,
and when the McKinley tariff was thought
to be doomed.
The victory which consisted in tho sub
stitution for the Wilson bill of a measure
denounced by President Cleveland as "an
inconsistent absurdity" and a violation of
all sound t'iriff principles, is expected to
"go forward from this time forth by its
own Impetus." We wish we could feel
sure of this, for we are convinced that
freedom of trade is good for all the world,
and we are not at all alarmed by Mr. Wil
son's highly colored picture of the future
supremacy of the United States in indus
trial production and in external com
merce. But we confess that the cause of
tariff reform in the United States seems to
us far from being certain to go forward by
its own impetus, as to stand in need of all
the efforts of those who believe in it, and,
perhaps even more, of clearer views on
their part of what they mean. The greater
part of Mr. Wilson's speech was a logical
and telling argument in favor of free trado
pure and simple, and an exposure of the
mischiefs of protection in any shape or
form. It is not easy to apply his reason
ing to the principle of a "tariff for revenue
only" so limited in practice as to secure
the freedom from duty of raw materials
and to protect favored industries against
foreign competition. * «* * We do not
expect to we any decisive overthrow of
protection until it is confronted by a real
free trade policy.—London Times.
WEALTH FROM WASTE.
One aspect of the value of protection in
building up home manufactures, rather
than buying them in foreign countries at
a cheaper rate, is seldom sufficiently con
sidered. A removal of the duties on coal,
iron ore and wool is advocated in order to
supply manufacturers with cheaper "raw
material." But is it considered what
enters into the production of this raw
material? The consumption of air, water,
grass and herbage, which enters into the
production of a sheep and its wool, could
not be exported or otherwise utilized, and
converting this otherwise waste Into
wealth is no small consideration.
And so. a country which packs its meat
before sntpment abroad, not only saves the
loss of life which would take place on the
way, and the cost of transportation to the
bulky and more perishable material, but
converts into use salt, sawdust, wood, Ice,
etc., which would otherwise not be utilized;
and also the hair, bones, blood, etc., which
are converted into other forms of wealth.
Paper making gives value to rags, straw,
wood, cornstalks, water, etc. And so dif
ferent manufncturesemploy bark, sumack,
berries, clay, sand and scores of other
things which were otherwise waste. So,
also, barn'n land, rocky hills and other
waste spaces are utilized. Besides the
consumption of fuel, ores and forests
which might lie exported at » loss, the use
of what is otherwise Incapable of removal
and utility, is the point here kept in view.
It is safe to say that more waste is thus
converted into wealth in the United States
than the value of all our imported goods.
Shall we utilize this waste or not is a
serious question for tho free trader.
OK INTEREST TO LANDOWNERS.
A witness iu court at Dubuque, a few
days ago. injected some politics into the
answer of a cross questioner and expressed
the feelings of a pood many Democrats
throughout the country. The name of
the witness was Ward, and this is the ac
count of the Incident:
' "Mr. Ward, did I understand you to gay
that land is not worth as much now as it
was two years ago?"
"Yes, sir; that's what I said."
"Will you please tell the court why it is
not worth as much now as two years ago t"
"Well, since Cleveland was elected the
price of land aud everything else has gone
to the devil."
This answer brought down the house,
and Democrats and Republicans alike in
the court grew red in the face trying to
keep from laughing outright.
"Are you a Republican, Air. Ward?"
"No, sir; but if things keep on the way
they are now, I don't think it will be long
before I will "w one."—Sioux City, la.,
Journul.
ANOTHER REPUDIATION.
Professor Rasmus B. Anderson, of Wis
consin. United States minister to Den
mark during Cleveland's first term, has re
pudiate the Democratic party. The an
nouncement of his change of politics has
caused a tremendous sensation in political
circles.
He is the author of the gerrymander of
Wisconsin. His action was caused chiefly
because of what he terms "the tortuous
methods of Democratic leaders, who fla
grantly violated party principles and party
pledges.
When I talk about wages I use the word
in its broadest sense, as the price and valuo
of service, whether of brain or muscl*.—
Hon. Thomas H. Reed, Maine.
iiALAN( E OF Tlt/VDK SI\MMARY.
It is a notable fact that for ten years—
from 1875 to 18K5 —the Republicans never
had less than *72,000,000 of a surplus in
any one year, reaching the enormous sum
of ♦250,000.000 in 1SM1 ; while Grover Cleve
land. at the close of his second year, in
1887. found the balance of trade to lw
against us to the amount of $28,000,000;
while President Harrison as soon as in
augurated. with the balance of trade
against us, brought this trade back to us,
so that the third year of his administration
gave us $2(r2,000.000 of an excess of exports
over that of imports.
A study of these tables will show what
the Republicans and the Whigs have been
able to accomplish, as against the Demo
crats, in the holding of the balance of
trade. The following resume is given for
convenience:
The Federalists lost annually for twelve
years $10,826, 5: Xi, or in all f 129,018,432.
The Whigs controlled the government
for eight years, with imports amounting
to $158,878,331, and a total of exports of
947,331),375, which gives an annual loss in
the excess of Imports over exports of 113,-
942,744.
The Democrat* had control for fifty-six
years prior to Cleveland's present term, in
which they show a i*nin of exports of 1171,-
949,891, against a loss in the imports of
$1,005,994,181, making the annual loss by
the Democrats for the whole fifty six years
»14,893,«48.
The Republicans had control for twenty
eight years, in which they show a gain in
the excess of exports of ♦ 1,875,850,715,
against a loss in the imports of 11,124,741,
034. or an annual gain in the excess of ex
ports of $2rt.825.5f10.
Making a final showing in favor of the
Republicans with ♦20,000,000 of a gain,
against $14,000,000 of a loss with the Dem
ocrats, or $13.000,000 of a loss with the
Whigs annually. In other words, the Re
publicans gained in twenty-eight yean
enough to overcome very largely the loss

CHEAP GOODS AND CHEAP 3TEW.
The president of the
his V,l 7'
glibly alw.tit the reduced price of good ll
compensating for any reduction of *sps
which might he brought al>out by his tar
iff policy. And this b, to a great extent,
the stock in trade of the free trade theor
ists.
Oh, yes! Cheap goods and cheap pro
duct* of the workshop and the farm are
the things to make men happy and con
tents! with their lot in life. We deny it
utterly. Adults, with no one depending
upon them, may bo satisfied with a bare
living. But the wage worker, the toiler in
summer's lassitude and winter's frosts
and snows, wants more than a living. Ha
wants something for old age—something
for his children. Besides being fed and
clothed they want books to read, and pens,
and ink, and paper, and pencil. They
want an education with which to fight
life's battle.
Go talk to the toilers in the Iron hiUs
and coal mountains in Pennsylvania and
Virginia, or the bituminous coal deposits
of the great west, about the advantages of
cheap food, and cheap clothing, and cheap
commodities of every description, and they
will tell you very quickly that what they
want is steady employment and good
wages, and they will take care of the food
and clothing part of this whole business.
We are opposed to cheap goods and cheap
agricultural products. Cheap goods and
cheap products mean cheap labor—starva
tion wages for toiling slaves, without hope
and without ambition for the future. Huts
and hovels, and nakedness, and pauperism,
and crime follow sadly after the procession
of cheap labor. The greatest advantage of
protection, however, is to be seen in the
condition of labor under its mantle. Wages
are not only higher than in England, Italy,
Hungary, Poland and other free trade or
semi free trade countries, but the condi
tion of the laborer is infinitely more bear
able and hopeful. He may live comfortably
and respected, and he may educate his
children and expect them to become worthy,
useful and leading citizens. Tliey are eli
gible to all places under the government,
capable of any business enterprise, and
may hold any social position. This state
of things exists only where protection is
general, and it is that only in the United
States. Goods are cheap In Italy, in Hun
gary and in Poland, but labor is cheaper,
and the laborer cannot buy. The laboring
man emigrates from free trade countrioa
to protective ones, not from protective
countries to free trade ones. Cheap labor
is a national curse. Xay, more, it is bar
barism itself. 11l paid labor means a de
graded standard of life. Therefore, well
paid labor and its attendant consequences
are to be desired and are not to be feared.
The cost of living is reduced to a common
factor. The price fixes the condition. Bar
barism is the condition.
FARMERS AND THK NEW TARIFF.
Considering that we are told by the
Democrats that 'of the staple agricultural
products, including meats and provisions,
we are such large exporters, and must con
tinue to he such large exporters, that any
duties upon them are useless for protec
tion and fruitless for revenue, and gener
ally can be imposed only for the purpose
of deluding the less intelligent of our far
mers," etc., it will be difficult to explain
upon what principle the duty ou horses,
which last year yielded a revenue of about
$400,000 upon an importation amounting
in value to one and a quarter milUons. i»
reduced more than on*third.
Is there less moral turpitude in 30 than
in 32 per cent, of deceit? Or does it pro
ceed from a fear that by saving to the
northwestern farmer annually two oi
three million dollars paid for Canadian
horses, the fanner will become a robber
baron?
Why is the duty ou barley, which last
year brought over half a million in reve
nue. reduced from 04.68 to 20 per cent.?
Upon what principle is one-half of the
1600,000 collected on cheese last year re
mittcd by a reduction of one-half the pre»
ent duty?
Last year imported lieans paid into the
national treasury nearly half a million;
this hill reduces the duty more than half.
The duty on hay, hops, honey and onioni
last year swelled the government receipts
by nearly a million and a quarter, every
dollar of which was paid by foreign pro
ducers. yet this is reduced by nearly one
half.
The "tax" on imported potatoes brought
to the government treasury last year over
a million, at the rate of 51.98; yet three
fifths of tills is abandoned for the benefit
of the foreign producer by a reduction tc
30.78.
The government, however, is allowed t«
recoup for these remissions by a duty ol
83.85) on rice and 72. per cent, on peanuts.
This will, however, hardly compensate the
treasury, or content the northwestern
farmer, when it is considered that almoal
$400,000 was last year collected for imported
eggs, at 5 cents j>cr dozen, which this bill
abandons, anil that the American hen
must adjust herself to the system of cheap
production and competition with foreign
