Tne Democratic Congress has given yon a death blow by patting wool on the free list and November 6rh is tbe day to elect a Republican Congres*- man. who will help repeal the obnoxtons measure. A Protectioniat'a Popularity. It has been tha remarkable leatar- of Mr. McKinley's journeys that at eaca station the townspeople collect and insist upon speeches and insist upon having the apaachas lengthened. Ordinarily it is tore •4 upon tbe engineer to stop proceedings -%j summarily pulling the throttle. The hare fact that an entire village will turn oat to the station for the sake of a tive minute's oration ought to be proof enough to Major McKinley that he, and not the oration, i» the attraction. —Chicago Record. jngi was a quorum present at tha meeting of tbe Lincoln League, Monday evening, and almost everybody did some talking. There will be a public meeting in Huselton Hall, Saturday evening, which all Republican* are requested to at tand. A rrtTHKR and unexpected beanty of the new tariff law is revealed by tbe pros pective claim tor damage* to be filed against tha United States by tha importers of- Brazilian products, who represent Brazil as much as themselves. The Wilson law abrogated the reciprocity treaties witboat notice, this being in direct viola tion of the convention entered into at the time of signing the treaty. That agree meet provides that each country must give tbe other three months' notice of a desire to end the commercial arrangement, and that the cessation of such trade relations sbomd occur on either January 1 or July I. Un<"er tbe new tariff law, which went into effect August 27, this Government be gan to collect import duties on all goods received from nations having such reci procity treaties. Bawaiian goods were alone excepted. The claim of the Brazi lian importers will be for the tax levied Oat ween August 27, 1894. and January 1, 1895. They will probably collect every cant, unless tbe Fifty-third Congress de liberately repudiates tbe former contract. Then the Brasillian Government conld ap pear in the matter, and through interna tional arbitrators secure justice. Apt Alliteration'a Artful Aid. Mr. Singerly's famous alliteration about Demooratio "ringsters, roosters and rul hui" seems to have set a fashion. Mr. Mike Ryan follows it with "discord, de moralization, disgust and defeat.' aud now William Sickem Stenger declines to be a "helpless harvester in a hopeless field." Keep on brethren. Your combined ef lorts are making Ha»tiugs'majority mighty magnificent —Philadelphia I'rtiis. HBKB is a plain statement of facts. Read it and reflect: During the past year tbe Paxton and Steelton flouring mills com pany has shipped to Cuba ports 125,000 barrels of flour. On Monday and Tuesday of this week twenty-nine car load* were shipped. On January Ist, 1895, reciprocity oaates and Spain has put a duty of $4.98 per barrel on American flour. This shuts out American manufacturers. This allows Europe to puroha*e our wheat, manufac ture the flour and monopolize the Spanish mirket. The amount sent to Cuba is al most half tbe product of the two mills. It will be seen at a glance what the result will be upon a factory tbat employs 500 men. The shipments from now till Janu ary Ist will be heavy. Tbe mills will be run to their full capacity. i-STAT-AT-NOM Republication election d»y means balf a vote for tbe the Demo cratic ticket. Go to tbe voting place and vote tbe straight Republican ticket and belp swell tbe majority for Hastings and tb e whole ticket above tbe high-water mark. A cablegram reports five thousand tonsof tin plate loaded at Swausea, Wales,on Tues day for American markets. That means five thousand tons less of American tin plate and SIOO,OOO less wages to American tin workers. That it the way "tbe mar ket* of tbe world" are being opened up to American workmen by tbe Deinocrutio free trade tariff. THE Independent Republican ticket that appears on tbe Sheriff's Election Procla mation bills, came into existence by reason ol the Judgeship fights in Lawrence and Indiana, and perhaps other conntiss. X ATMAM STRAUS on Friday refused tbe Tammany nomination for mayor of New Tork City. His refusal was short and curt and the Democrats immediately nominated Hugh J. Grant, who at first declined the honor, but finally accepted. It was charg ed against Straus by his supporters that he had not infused life into the campaign. "Life" in a Tammany campaign comes h'gh and it is stated that SIOO,OOO was the figure asked in tbis case. A MA*< HRSTKR packing company bad occasion to telegrapa to their manager at Victoria, British Colombia, and the send ing of the message and the reply only oc cupied 90 seconds.

Luierne, Monroe, Potter and Philadelphia, where, on account of in dependent nominations, it will be larger.

The death notice ol this aged citizen of our county appeared in our paper last week., liis character as a man perhaps demands a further notice From what we learn the father of the Shira people came to Butler county about the year IHIO, Peter being then about ten years of age. He settled in what is now Washington township. His sons Peter and David rais ed large families, many of whom are well known to many of our citizens. Peter was a leading man among them and de servedly a man of much influence. This arose from his energy and stern honesty of character He was a man of very positive opinions and convictions. Whatever be believed to be right, that he fearlessly up held, and his advocacy ef any party or friends always carried great weight among i bis neighbors. Tbe writer of this, well remembers tbe time when the word or help of Peter Shira was all potent in his township. In politics he was a very ar dent Whig in the days of that partv and - ever after an equally anient Republican, lie too was a patriot of tbe most ardent.ami pronounced kind. In a word, Mr Peter Shira was one of those early settlers of onr county who by the force of industry and rugged.sturdy habits, commanded the respect of all. He was temperate in all things, a« the great age tu which he lived, M years,fully attests. AN IRON WORKER'S TALK. What kii I-iiKli«»t-Atß»ri«»u Win. K«-li>-v s? I was busily reading the pap. r which I had bought at tbe last station a man came along and dropped into the seat with me After I had finished my paper I passed it over to niy companiou. and later we fell to discus* ing the news Thief among the items of interest was the latest gossip in regard to the tariff bill, and we soon came to that. • How are you uu the tariff question?" I asked. "I'm not up on all the rates aud duties." was the reply, • but I am against free trade or auvthing like it. whether its called tariff for revenue only or by the new tangled name of 'tariff reform I wain t born under the stars and stripes I didn't have the say so in regard to that. lam an Englishman by birth I know what it is to work under free trade and I can tell fou that free trade is something that workingmeu eau't afford.' You find things very different here for Ihe workingman from what they are it England, then?" 1 asked. "You uiiii judge for yourself, he re plied "I went to work when I was 9 years old for twenty cents a day That's what children have to do under free trade I didn't get a chance for much education, as you can see. I learned one thing, though, aud that was that labor in Amer ica is protected, and so as soon as I grew up I caine to America, and I've gotten hero as a man the education that I was deprived of in England as a child " "And your children will have more of a •how than yoti had," I said "Well, rather." he replied. "It was as much as I con Id do to live over there Here I have been able t« raise my children in comfort and to give them a good edu< a tiou." •You say yon found out that labor in America Is protected," I said. "The Demo crats say that the only thingthat isn't pro tected in America is lalwir They say that lal>«»rers come in here free, that the Italian works for what he got at home, that the Englishman gets English wages, and so on. and that as those come into direct coin petition with American lalnirers. Anieri can wages can't lie higher than Euro|>ean wages. " ' "What nonsense that is'" the English man broke out What do they suppose we come over here for? For the benefit of the sea voyage? If we had to work for the same wages we might as well stay at home. They'd better compare the wages here with wages in England and they'd find out whether labor is protected in America or uot." "Is there much difference between them?'' 1 asked "A difference of #2.HO a day to me." lie replied "I am a puddler by trade. I trot five shilling, or 11.20 a day in England. 1 get £i.sn here—over three times as much "I have heard a good many Democrats claim." I said, "that the American work man dots more in the same length of time than the foreign workman, and that is what makes the difference in wages. Is that so?" •My $1.30 a day in Kngland was for pud dling H.ooo weight of iron: my fii no a day here is for puddling 2,750 weight." he re plied. "Facts made things look a little the other way. don't they?" "They do; that's a fact," I said. "And you actually get Itt.HO a day here for the game kind of work for which you got only (1.20 in Kngland?" I repeated, for I could hardly grasp the fact that the difference was so great. "I do that.' he replied, and I do less work in a day here than I had to do in Kngland. The difference in wages isn't so much in all cases, of course," he continued, ' but it is always enough to measure the difference between struggling to keep body and soul together and living In decency and comfort." "The low wages in Kngland may not have lieeu due wholly to free trade," I said. "Perhaps not." he answered, "but that's neither here nor there just now. The point Is that I do get much higher wages in America than a man in Kngland gets for the same work, and if the product-of bis ll.au a day lal>or is brought in here free to compete with the products of my 18.80 a day labor, something has got to give way. and that something will be my wages." »'V«»n »Ki r» V* t tl*k. -* } tariff on wrought iron would mean a re duct-ion In the wages of iron worker*?'' I asked. "I think!" he exclaimed, 'I know it. We all know It. and liecause we knew it we sent a man to Washington as the rep resentative of the »>.«*K> iron workers in my town t<> pletul against any reduction of the tariff on bar or wrought iron. He didn't get much tatlsfactiou. though, and it doesn't look as though we'd get much sat isfaction either I don't suppose it's any use to hope that they'll let the tariff alone on bar and wrought iron," he said with a sigh. "No, they're sure to make goine reduc tion," I replied "And that means lower wages or the closing of the works," be returned. "We'll have to make the best of it. We're not so bad off as a good many We've h;wl work right along so far. and tnanr a man hasn't had that since ('-over Cieve land went Into the White House. We'll have to cut off some of our pleasures, per haps some of our comforts, fall back on our savings maybe, and wait for 18S#> and Republican times again It isn't as though we'd been working for free trade wages right along We've got something saved up from the days of McKinleylsm. Hut It's hard to stand this for nearly three years longer." he said grimly "The only com fort is that we can gel rid of this tariff reform congress in the fall. And we'll do tt, too." he added with determination "This is my stat ion Good day. sir I hope we will meet again In better times. '* and my companion hastily left the car, much to my regret, for there were many more questions I wanted to nsk from one whose experience enabled him to speak so positively about the benefits of protection. "AFOSTLE or CHEAPNKSH." The Miners' Tribune, as Its name Im plies. Is U journal devou-d to the interests of the hardy sons of toil who dig coal, which is published at Olypbant, Ijacka wanna county, lias heard of the touroftbe state on which Mr. Siugerly, the Demo cratic candidate for governor, is now en gaged, and comments thus: "Mr Singerly the candidate for gov ernor of the Democratic party, and the 'Apostle of Cheapness,' will soon visit Lackawanna county on his tour of educa tion We would advise him to pay a visit to the mills and factories of Scranton lie fore he makes his evening s|ieech. so that liv may receive a practical lesson in eco nomics before attempting to preach econ omy to the masses. Messrs. Cleveland, Wilson and ."singerlv are untiring in their effort to Induce the workingmen to adopt their pet theories as the cure all for every ill. but unfortunately the conditions are so near by. so pressing and so big with Importance to the wage earner that he cannot overlook them in his desire to see the cheap things that these 'Cheap John' pawnbrokers hold up for inspection "With one machine, managed by a sin gle person, running out a product fifty times lis great as a single workman could turn out in the days of Ten cent Jimmy Buchanan, we do not have to listen to Cleveland. Wilson or Singerly to know why things an- cheap The inventive genius of the workman has given to the world appliances which produce the re quisites of consumption so easily, so abundantly and with such rapidity that all can he supplied with luxuries far more readily than they could olitain the barest necessities in the 'good old Democratic times' that Mr. Singerly promises to bring to our doors if he is elected governor." "Make things cheap is the slogan of Sin gerly and. simmered down to its last an alysis, it means cheap men and pauperism. When men work for little of what they earn, when they cut down the expenses of home, the goods remain on the merchants' shelves, and with no demand for what others create the others cannot in turn buy what we produce. Cheapness means pov erty. poverty means Idleness and ignorance, and where tbe parent cannot earn enough to supply the home, he must force bis chil drcn to engage in labor at the earliest day possible. "We are told that a man can buy an overcoat today for sl6 that would cost s."en efit of this two years' rest perhaps business men may then lie g'od to indicate their preference for one or the other policies of tariff legislation, and 1m- willing to have tbo IT -... ■.» or n new law en acted. A Democratic victory in Novem ber might not result in further tariff agi tation, but. there would IK- no certainty of this, for the president and a large section of his party have declared their dissatisfac tion with the new law The president even refused to attach his name to it. and it is regarded by tariff reformers only as a step' toward genuine tariff reform."

We have been having very fine weather, and nature has donned her coat of many colors. James Anderson, of the Cooperstown oil field, paid his parents and friends a short visit Sunday. Flick has quite a cycler in the person ol Cliff Criner, who rode his wheel from here to Tarentum, about 12 miles, in an hour. Cunningham Trimble and his bride spent a few days of last week visiting friends and relatives iti Pittsburg and vicinity. Cunningham has had his house remodeled for the reception of its lair mistress. The din'on base ball nine played the Cherry Valley niue at this place. Saturday. The result of the game was a victory for *ho home nine, the score being 17 to 1. The national game fails to arouse the in terest here that it does in most places. This probably is because the gentler sex do not take kindly to it. A good run loses half of its glory if there is not someone in the grand stand to applaud, (iirls, yon learn to play ball and we boys will pla} you a game next season. GOSSIP. Suborn. Sol.

After dinner had been served to two hundred guests several speakers ail desseil the meeting. She received many beautiful and uselul presents. Next in order was a game of foot ball between the Prospect boys and the boys of Oakland The Prospect team have been practicing for two o* three years, while the Oakland team have not been playing for four years The game was well played till the umpire, who was from Prospect, began to favor his aide, but although the Oakland boys were cheated out of severa' scores at the close of the game it stood 25 to 23 in their favor Come again, Prospect, if you want.

CITIZEN —It was indeed a jolly crowd that gathered at the residence of Levi Lefever, Thursday, October 18th, for the purpose of celebrating Mr. and Mrs. Lefever's golden wedding. Their re.-idence, in Middlesex township, had been previously arranged by the Iriends as a snrpiise for Mr. and Mrs. Le fever, and accordingly their Iriends and neighbors to the nnmber of over 40 met at the place armed with baskets filled with the luxuries of life. After an hour spent in social conversa tion dinner was announced. A large table was arranged for the purpose and spread with all the delicacies of the season. The Rev. R. N. Leake, pastor of the Brownsdale M. E. Circuit, was chosen master of ceremonies and was at his best, being fully equal to the occasion. After all had partaken of a hearty repast the young ladies and gentlemen amused them selves in various ways, while the older ones recalled the events of former days.
