The Wilson law is not a Protec
tive law. It is not a Free Trade law
though it looks more toward Free
Trade principals than any other. It
is not a Revenue-Tariff law. It is
simply a nondescript, made up of
deals and compromises and open
bribery. Its protective features are
chiefly for the beuefit of the trustsi —
notably the Sugar combine and the
Standard Oil. It Las not given
work to one single American toiler
but has robbed thousands of them
of the employment they had. It
has not raised the standard of wages
in a single American industry, but
has lowered it throughout the
country. It has not opened a for
eign market for a barrel of Ameri
can pork or bushel of wheat or a
dollar's worth of manufactured
goods, but has destroyed a consid
erable portion of the foreign markets
already possessed by Americaus.
It has not brought a dollar of money
into the country, but has sent mil
lions out.
Ex-Mayor Smith of Philadelphia
arrested (Jol. McClure of the Phila.
Timet for libel, recently and the case
was heard in the Phila. courts last
week, when a verdict was rendered
in favor of Smith to the tuue of
$45,000. This amount, for the dam
age done, was out of sight, but when
it i9 considered that Mr. McClure
with his attornies left the court room
and quit the case, because a certain
motion made bj McClure was not
sustained by the court—the ver
dict could not be otherwise.
Another Halt Against the Times.
Ex-Mayor Smith, Friday, began
another action against the "Times"
Publishing Company, Alexander K.
McClure and Frank McLaughlin,
this time in Common Pleas Court
No. 4. At present there is nothing
in the papers filed in the case which
will tell anything except that a sums
mons in trespass has been issued,
but it is understood that this is the
beginning of another libel suit
against the paper based on the edis
torial published the day following
the verdict In favor of ex-Mayor
Smith.
Followiag In the "Times" Artele
la Part.
"Had Mr. Smith been a man of
the clennest reputation, of the high
est character, and stainless in nil his
records as public official and citizen,
a fair-minded court and jury upon
a fair trial, with no semblance of
truth in the libel complained of,
might have allowed a verdict of five
or ten thousand dollars. Such a
verdict would be justified by a
wanton libel published agaiust a
citizen of estimable character and
probity of conduct, not only because
such a character might be seriously
injured thereby, but it would be
justifiable upon the broad ground of
exemblary damages which should be
given in such case to restrain licen
tious publications. But a verdict of
$45,000 rendered in favor of a man
who in the highest official position
he held in the city was impeached
for the misappropriation of public
funds, and in an official mititary
position was dismissed from the
service for misappropriation of
military funds, and whose subse
quent reputation as a business man
did not inspire general confidence
could not be explained in any other
way than by a startling clitnnx in
the perversion of j ustice."— Times,

Boss FistiKRMKN: —Peter McDon
ald and N. 0. Maben. Early Tues
day morning Messrs. Maben and
McDonald, sporting man of our town
could have been seen leaving the
village with knapsack and tisli bask
ets strapped upon their backs. They
returned late in the afteinoon. Fish
cnught—Maben, 9; McDonald, 8.
The boys desire it distinctly under
stood that there were no chubs in
either lot. It is estimated that our
fishermen walked 18 miles during
the day.
Manufacturers of beer tnay have
to pay sixteen cents a barrel for the
privilege of making the beverage.
The Cochrane bill making the tax
sixteen crnts a barrel is still hung
up in the House Committee on
Ways and Means, but there is a
movement on foot among the grang
ers in the Legislature to have it re
ported In view of the falling off in
revenues from other sources. It is
cl limed that a tax of sixteen cents
per barrel would be more equitable
than a fixed license fee, the theory
being that the small brewers pay too
much in comparison with large man
ufacturers of the extract of hops and
barley. Some one figures that a tax
of sixteen cents a barrel would in
crease the revenue at least SBOO,OOO.
Tben and Now.
Under a cons'stcnt system of Pro
tection the revenue was sufficient
for public needs, our workshops
were thronged with well paid wage
earners, and in our foreigh dealings
we sold more goods than we bought.
Under the present anti-protective
law, general business and industrial
prostraction has prevailed, the reve
nue has fallen far below necessary
expenditures, and the government's
income climbs up towards its out go
only as a result of larger import?,
smaller exports, and a turning of the
trade balance against us.
This means depression in our
manufacturing enterprises and dis
comfort for workingmen who have
been thrown out of employment or
had their wages cut down. It means
that under the new Tariff we have
not only failed to capture the''mar
kets of the world," but have actually
suffered losses in that direction, as
well as surrendered parts of our
great home market. Such is Dem
ocratic Tariff reform up to date.
The record should be kept in mind,
for it may be some time before the
Treasury Department decides to
give out any more figures for the
information of the people on the
subject.—Rochester Democrat.
STEELTON, PA., April 22, 1895.
Tlie works of the Pennsylvania
Steel Company have not been as
busy this year as they were last
week. The summary shows a good
product in all departments. The
yards were never so crowded with
loaded cars of raw material. It is
estimated that over 1,100 cars are
now waiting to be unloaded and the
outside laborers are kept as busy at
the work as is possible. On an
average during the past year $120,-
000 have been paid to the employees
every month. The average number
of employ ees each month was 3,000
giving ea<sh employee an average of
I3GO per annum. The mills ran 270
days out of a possible 313. The
court ot Philadelphia has ordered a
sale of the Pennsylvania and Mary
land steel plants on May 15th; this
sale is ordered that the transfer may
be legally made from the old to the
1 new company. Upon the confirma
tion of the sale by the couits the
creditors will be paid and the proper
ty transferred from the receivers to
the new corporation. This sale will
in no wise effect the working of the
plants. The pay roll on Saturday,
footed up $71,340 for the last two
weeks in March....The prospect
for building this summer is brighten
ing np; several houses and a church
are now under contract... .This ac
tivity in business here was not caus
ed by anything that the late demo
cratic Congress and President has
done, but by the hope of the great
Republican victory that will be
achieved in 1896 Senator J. D.
Cameron is uow rusticating at his
Lorhial farm residence just out side
of this borough.... Measles have
been the prevailing disease in this
place for the last two months, but is
somewhat abated; theie not being
enough togo around Your cor
respondent expects to be in your
town during court and Memorial
Uay week, on his vacation....The
two electric railroads here are being
very well patronized litigation be
tween the two companies seems to
have entirely ceased Gen. Cox,
of Wellßtioro Tioga county, spent a
week in this place. Tlio Oen. and
your correspondent were old school
mates in 1841 in Lycoming county.
I will close this communication by
extending to the RKWJBLICIN my
best wishes for its success and pros
perity iu tU« future, P.
The fact that a Republican Con
gress is in sight is having a bene
ficial effect upon the business indus
tries of the country.
