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:

Republican Senate: Republican House. 1872.
FORTY-FOURTH CONGRESS.

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.

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.

other townships throughout the

thus encourage the j'oung Republi
