It is useless to waste time in ex» plaining why the Republican party was beaten. We are licked and badly licked at that, and that's enough. But we now make the pro phecy that the principal cause of our djfiat tLis year will aso be the piincipal cause ot our victory in 1892. We refer of course to the new tariff law. Up to this time only the bad side of that measure has been visible, and that has been greatly magnified and exaggerated by greedy and unscrupulous mer chants, who have taken advantage of the passage of 'hat measure, to add to the prices of hundreds ot ar ticles which are in no way affected by it, in order to put money in their pockets at the expense of the con sumers. And that this policy which was ably aided and abetted by the Democratic managers, was the direct cause of thousands of Republican votes being cast for Democratic nominees cannot for a moment be doubted. Long before two years have rolled around this law will have by its workings, practically shown that it is the best of its kind ever enacted, and the same people who voted against the Republicans because of its enactment by a Re publican Congress, will be the loud est shouters in favor. Mark the prediction. It Will i:ud Itißbt. As the Democratic leaders begin to return to Washington it is leak, ing out how they managed to make such a showing at the recent elec tion. The game they worked is best described in a Washington dis patch, as follows: "The hue and cry about higher prices due to the Republican Tariff bill, it now appears, was all a game nnd was very effectually worked. It appears that the scheme was started by the Free Trade League acting in connection with the foreign manufacturers and iheir agents in the United States, and wholesale merchants in New York, An im mense number of circulars were sent all ovei the country to the store* keepers in tlie cities and at cross roads announcing that owina, to the new tariff prices would advance a certain per ceut., and that higher prices should be changed on goods in stock. The interior merchants as a rule fell into the trap and play ed into the hands of the Free Trad ers most effectually. Many of the very articles upon which prices were advanced were scheduled in the tew bill at a lower rate than the old. Now that the elections are over and the importers, mostly foreigners, have had their revenge, prices have gone back to their normal figure." It was undoubtedly a sharp trick, and the Democrats can enjoy the laugh, but it really was th«s best thing that could happen the Re publican party. The two years be tween this time and the struggle of 1892 will show how well the Free Traders pulled the wool over the eyes of the people, and they will be enough to admit the correctness of the Republican position by 1892. The Country'* I.oaw. There is one thing to be greatly regreted in the result of the recent election. The country's business is to remain, for two more years at least, convulsed bv uncertainty as to the tariff. A short time ago Andrew Carnegie said : "lam per sonalty aware of the fact that a number of European capitalists are just now on the point of bringing their capital and their enterprises to this country. They are hesitating, because they do not know just how long the American people mean to adhear to the principles of protec tion." This tells the story of a loss fco the country too great to be esti mated. German, French, Austrian, English and Scotch manufacturers in almost every branch, seeing the advantages offered by our new tariff law, have been contemplating the establishment of branches here or the removal of their factories fc.> this country. They hesitate only because of the uncertainty of the tar it! remaining as it now is, and the result oft Lie recent elections, to which most of them have been looking to determine as to the ad visability of the step, will unques tionably desidc, the majority of tliem, in the negative. From their great distance, and with their very im perfect Knowledge of the local con ditions which caused the temporary reverse of the Republicans, they will be led to the belief —and this belief is beiug fostered to the ut most by the American (?) enemies of American industry and their allies abroad—that our people have de clared against protection. They will not understand that the logs of the second House of an admiuistra. tion is from precedent to be ex pected ; that to local disaffection in critical places, gerry-manders, the suppression of the Republican vote in the South and to the deep laid conspiracy of the Democratic Con gressional Committee and importers to raise the prices on goods regard less of the tariff—that to these causes are to be attributed this re sult. The McKinley law in the fol lowing two years will have worked out his own vindication, the country, adjusted to its provisions and pleas ed with the prosperity it will cause, not desiring its repeal. But the Democratic promoters of hard times are howling with all their might that the McKinley law is doomed, hoping thereby to turn away the tide of industry and prosperity that is setting this way-, and it is to be feared that they will succeed to some extent. « It was learned Tuesday that the contract for building a large addi tion to the already extensive boot & shoe factory of J. E. Dayton & Company, had been let, and that work will be commenced at once. The new building will extend from the rear end of the present factory back to Edwin street, and will be Ave stories high. The name of the contractor was not learned.— Gazette and Bulletin. The story comes from Pittsburg that Senator Delamater will be a candidate for United States Senator, iu opposition to Senator Cameron. This means a contest in the Legisla ture, as Senator Cameron is known to be anxious for a re-election. It is said to be Mr. Delamater's de sire to secure a vindication of hi 9 own personality. It is too early to speculate as to the outcome of the contest. The following bit of history in a nutshell was compiled by the Kansas City Gazette: FORTY-THIRD CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Republican House. 1872. FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 1874, FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 1876. FORTY-FIFTH CONGRBSS. Democratic Senate: Democratic House. 1878. FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Republican House. 1880. EORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 1882. FORTY-NINTH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 1884, FIFTIETH CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 1886. FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Republican House. 1888. FIFTY-SECOND CONGRESS. Republican Senate: Democratic House. 189?. In his annual report Commis sioner of Pensions Raum, referring to the survivors of the war for the Union says : "I have come to the conclusion that the expectation of life with this body of men, by reas on of their disabilities, has been shortened about twelve years." The body of men referred to numbers 586,000. Is there not much signific ance in this language, which says, based on statistics, that more than one-third of the men who were dis» charged from the army in 1865, are subject to a higher rate of mortality than ordinary citizens? Acting upon this statement it would seoua proper for the Pension Examining Boards when passing upon applica tions, to add twelve years to the age of the applicant, thus assuming that his disabilities are greater. Is not this good logic? Twelve years of life given away for the country ought to be equal to the pay for the same length of time, which could be tacked on the sunset end of an old soldier's life, in the shape of a pen sion.

Something quito unusual for this vicinity at this time of year. Mr. and Mrs. Stnrdevant, of Wy_ nlusing, are visiting their son Geo. and daughter, Mrs. Fred Hcavcrly at this place. Some of the Democrats of this place had made arrangements for and advertised a grand jnbilee and ox-roast for this Thursday, but on consultation of some of the leaders of the party and the Democrats in general it was given up. J. H. Cronin has laid a fine flag pavement along his hotel premises (the exchange) on Main street. Mrs. B. W. Jackson is making ar rangements for a similar improve ment to her property on the op posite side of the street. The entertainment and oyster supper given in Garey's hall on Wednesday evening of last week for the benefit of Zion's Luthern Sun day school, we are sorry to report was not very largely attended, though the exercises were well rendered and a fair profit realized. 1 The Sullivan County Teachers' Association convened in Garey's hall on Friday evening last. The program for the evening consisted of declamations by Misses .Mamie Lilley and Maud Mcllenry, a lecture by the Rev. David Craft, of Wy ulusing and music by Harmony Orchestra. The subject of Rev. Craft's lecture was "Failure". The address was an able one and oue from which the young men and ladies present should derive much benefit. Oue of the essential points demonstrated was, in subetauce, that a young mau or woman should lay out a plan of life, —to aim high —and ever strive to accomplish that plan in the fullest detail and reach the goal to which it leads. He says too many people do not know what they intend to do—are always wait ing for opportunities and favorable circumstances. Let every young man and woman, therefore, first de» cide on something for his life's oc cupation—his life's work, and fit himself to perform that work. Misses Lilley and McHenry did the'"'- oart very nicely, aud the or chestra, though minus several mem bers, furnished several selections in a skillful manner. They were greeted with a fair house and a collection was taken to defray the expnse of the session, to which all contributed liberally. FACAUACCS. ESTELLA ITEMS.

Mr. Osier received several bruises. i The Elkland Republicans feel very proud over their vote on mem ber of assembly. They intend hold ing a township Republican conven tion some time in January for the purpose of nominating a fitll ticket of township oilicers for the Febru ary election. It would be well for other townships throughout the county to follow their example and thus encourage the j'oung Republi can voters. We must begin work now for 1892. | SALE.—By virtue of a writ of , ieri Facu* issued oat of the Court of Com mon Pleas of Sullivan Com ty and to me direoted there will be exposed to public sale at tbo UoU 1 in Forksville, on Friday the 28th DAY OF NOVRMBEH A.
