INSURGENT FLINGS RESENTED From the. Pulpit and Bench, In the Business Werld and Among the Wage Earners, Republican Nominee Is Commended. Nothing has occurred in the history of loral politics In this section daring recent years to create such a thor ough storm of indignation among the people of this locality, says a special from Altoona to the Philadelphia In quirer. as did the unjust attack made in a speech delivered by O. H. Mewit, of Hollidaysbwrg, before the meeting of the Lincoln Party committee, held in Philadelphia and aimed directly against his fellow-townsman, J. Lee Mummer, the Republican nominee for slate treasurer of Pennsylvania. Mr. Hewit's remarks reflecting upon Mr. Plummer's standing in the com munity were promptly resented by some of the most prominent men in Blair county, irrespective of their po litical affiliations. Citizens of Hollidaysburg were par ticularly incensed at the attack made upon Mr. Plummer and were quick to speak their minds on the subject. Mr. Hewlt declares that he was misquoted, but whether he was correctly reported or not. citizens generally hereabouts have taken occasion to vent their In dignation at the wrong doiie Mr. Plummer, about whose standing in the community there is but one opinion. It Is of the very highest. The esteem In which Mr. Plummer is held may be g-athered from a faw public statements made to a represen tative of the Philadelphia Inquirer. From Judge and Pastor. President Judge Martin Bell says: "I have known J. Lee Plummer tat-i --nnately for 25 years. He is a model husband and father, and his private character has been pure and free from all taint of wrong-doing. His honesty and integrity, hoth as a citizen and lawyer, are unquestioned in this com munity." Rev. Oeorge S. Woomcr. pastor of the First M. E. Church of Hollida-ys burg where Mr. Plummer attends, is quoted; "For more than two years I have beea a resident of Hollidaysburg und the pastor of the First Methodist church loeated In this town. Hon. J. Lee Plummer Is a member of the church and a regular attendant at the church services. He is one of the trustees of the church, and for nine years has been the secretary and treasurer of the board. He has the confidence and esteem of the church membership and of the community at large. His private life and charactor are above reproach and his family life is ideal. He holds my confidence and esteem as a man and as a Christian minister." John D. Blair, a prominent lawyer, says: "Mr. Plummer is one of eur best citizens. He ha always been indus trious, upright, honest and honorable A man of the very highest morals. I know of no one to whom I would trust my private affairs more implicitly than to Mr. Plummer. Acquainted with the trials of one who has never lost his close sympathy with the struggling masses, the people of Blair county by repeated ballot have borne testimony of their estimate of his worth. His friends are of the very best people of this community and their ardent sup port of him is the evidence of their esteem." Of Unimpeachable Integrity. W. I. Woodcock, a prominent mem ber of the bar, states: "I have been In timately acquainted with Mr. Plum mer. He read law in my office. He is a man of unlmpeaehable Integrity and unassailable moral character. He Is strictly temperate, being an aetive member of the Methodist church." Rev. P Verliker. of St Mark's Catholic church, f-rankly said: "Me is a gentleman from first to last He Is a good neighbor, a good citizen and con sidered so by all with whom I have come in contact. Both Republicans and Democrats here hold him in high es teem. The local citizens generally are willing to give him their support and anxious to see his election to the high off.ee of the state treasurer He Is first among the first gentle-men of this bor ough and morally as well as otherwise a most respected resident " J. \. B Melvin, president of the \l toona Trust company, has this frank interview "1 have intlmaieiy known J Lee Piummei about 22 years 1 hatc lived a neighbor with him 18 years, ttinu of which have been on the same lawn, thererore have knowledge of his daily life during all these years. He has been uniformly kind and obliging and in every possible way has been to me a desirable neighbor. He is today and always has been a respected citizen of t>h» town. He has been careful in his daily life. He is a member a.id offi cial ol the Methodist church, and won his way to present position of promi nence through native abiliiy. aided by such good qualities ss named above." J. King McLanaghan, Sr., president of the McLanaghan Stone Machine company, has this to say: "I have never hoard anything derogatory to Mr. Plum mer, and always found hlni to be an honest, upright cH-izea. 1 believe he will make an efficient state treasurer, »nd in my amnion the people of Holli daysburg. irrespective of politics, in tend to vote for him." "The People Like Him." P. W. Snyder, a well-known druggist says: "Mr. Plummer is an honest, up right aitizen, and has the respect of the residents of Hollidaysburg. He is a Kan ivmong men, and socially he is the equal of any person known hero to my t.quaintance. The people of Hollidays burg like him, but, Mke other men in public life, he has some political ene mies. I believe he will receive a mag nificent vote in this town and county." From Wage Earner and Merchant. John A. Flltz, a well-known wage earner of Hollidaysburg, candidly says: "I balieve 1 am only voicing the sen timent of the working people when stating that no man is better liked or mere popular here than J. Lee Plum mer. He is friendly and courteous, and well thought of by all." FraHk Glessner, a leading merchant, says: "Mr Plummer is a man of good moral character, an excellent citizen and in my opinion the people here can only speak of him in highest terms and respect." Charles Hartsock. an aged engineer, who is past 72 years, says:"l have k-nown Mr. Plummer for 32 years, and in my estimation there is not a more honest or popular man in Blair coun ty." John H. Law, a leading merchant ind Democrat. Is quoted: "1 consider J. Lee Plummer to be one of the fairest men in the county His dealings with the people are characterizeo by truth and honertv. Morally he is one of the cleanest men I ever knew. 1 am a Democrat., but will vote for him be cause I know he Is honest " These expressions come virtually spontaneously from the people of Hol lidaysburg, where J. Lee Plummer, the candidate for state treasurer, re aides. They form a t-ribnte which em phasizes his true worth and character. Protection Should He lloneycomne6 BcrauNw We Are DOIUK >lore Ila»i --neftft In Proportion to Topnlittion Tliiin Any Other Country. Should not the tariff be revised, and. If not, why not? The tariff should be revised for these tery sufficient reasons: The outlook for business of all kinds, {■he out look for the largest demand for labor ever known, at the highest wages ever paid iv the world's history, is good. This, in whole or in substantial degree, would be checked as soon as known that tariff changes were to be entered upon. That always follows tariff agitation in congress. Such changes as were made would satisfy no one. They never do. Free traders would only howl for more, hav ing once got some concessions from a Republican congress, and would point to the inconsistencies of the new draft. They always do. Having once got pro tectionists to practically surrender, they keep up their hue and cry until protectionists land in the ditch in hope less defeat. That was the final result in 1802, after the Republicans yielded in 1890 to the free trade call for re Ttslon and passed the McKinley bill. In the fall of that year the protec tionists lost the house by a niajoiity overwhelming and two years later again lost the house and also the senate and the presidency, and the country lost Its business. If protectionists again permit the fro trade devil to punch holes through the protective tariff the protectionists' retreat from their mighty victory in 1896, with all its helpful results since then, will not stop until they again land In the ditch. No party ever voluntarily abandoned a brilliantly successful measure except to experience the re sults in full that must come to the sui cide. Another reason why the tariff should be revised Is that the Democratic party demands it.the party witli but the scat ttriflg vote, only scattering except in the states where Republican leaders have wabbled upon the great policy that politically created them. In the states where the Republican leaders cling to the protective policy that delivered the country from the free trade hell of lH c .i2-!Mi the Democrat lc vote has evaporated and Republican majorities have risen to hundreds of thousands. Revision should be had be cause tl»e people but a few weeks ago stood solidly by the stand pat protec tionists and deserted the deserters. Revision should be bad because no body gives any reason for revision t>x cept the stock free trade reasons, saeh as have always plunged the peoplt Into distress when they have been adopted. Protection should lie honeycombed and revision should be had because we are doing more business In proportion to population than any other country in the world and more than ve ever before have done. That shows that something serious Is the matter. Revision should be had beccuse It Is never wise U) let prosperity alone, nev er wise to stick to the thing that pays. -Worceiiter (Mass) Telegram.
