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

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.

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.

DRATII OF MR. PKIER SHIR*.
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.

In frotrrllou Nltt —L«wi*r Tariff
Meaua Lower «'»*« Sur«.
A correspoudeut writes
1.11 «i spring I had occasion to take a short
trip through Ohio One*la> 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.

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.

FROM A PRKSIDKXTIAX ORGAN.
Our Democratic contemporaries have
upon one or two occasions during this cam
paign reproduced from the columns of the
Philadelphia Ledger, one of Mr. Cleve
land's personal organs, statements sup
posed to furnish some excuse for the con
dition into which the country has been
thrown by the wreckers of prosperity
through their free trade work The Led
ger, they have claimed, ought to be be
lieved, but their quotations from it in the
interests of their cause have been in the
telegraphic columns and were the produc
tions of correspondents. We reproduce
here today a paragraph from the financial
column of The Ledger of last Saturday
The Ledger says:
"Politics in this country are so inti
mately related to business that any up
heaval in the former is bound to affect the
condition of the latter The present de
pression in business dates from the tri
umph of the Democratic party in 1892. To
discuss why this is so would be to enter
upon an inappropriate discussion of a
question of partisan politics. Historically,
the fact is thai il did follow that election,
and was increased and prolong«*d by the ina
bility of the party in power to force to an
early vote the issues of silver repeal and the
tariff Sow business will probably revive
and public confidence grow in strength,
whatever may be the result of the coming
November election; in fact, it had already
begun to improve long liefore the political
campaign was opened, but there can lie
no question whatever that there is a pre
vailing belief that, if the result of the elec
tion is a reversal of the decision made in
jtftrJ. the process toward improvement will
be greatly accelerated. Republican victo
ries are depended upon, therefore, to usher
in a period of reaction and recovery. This
Is largely uae to the belief that a Republi
can congress will mean a respite from fur
ther tariff changes for at least two years.
As has been explained by ex Speaker Reed,
who Is competent to speak for the Repub
lican party, a Republican congress, what
ever it might like to do. would be pre
vented by a Democratic president from
putting any radical change in the tariff
Into law If. therefore, the result of the
coining election is a Republican victory it
ought to mean rest for the manufacturer
and merchant, and tbla should have an In
spiring effect, on bus) dm* \N ith the l>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."

The result of the game was a victory for

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

Their re.-idence, in Middlesex township,
had been previously arranged by the
Iriends as a snrpiise for Mr. and Mrs. Le

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.
At 3 o'clock the assemblage was called to
order by Rev. Leake, who stated the ob
ject of the meeting and spoke of the in

society.
Mr. and Mrs. Lefever saw some of their
friends whom they had not. seen for 34

Isaac Lefever and wife, of Hannahstown.
Mr. and Mrs. Lefever were the recipi
ents of many substantial and valuable
presents, for which they thanked tbe don
or* very kindly. The meeting was then
dismissed and all present felt that they had
spent a day that would lon;.' be remember
ed on account ol its pleasant relations.
We say to Mr. and Mrs. Lefever fifty
years ago last Thursday you were congrat
ulated on your wedding day, now, halt a
century has elapsed, allow me to-day to
congratulate you and express the hope that
both of you may yet live long together,
