.That a Well Known Economist
Declares the Republican
Party Has Done.
Ihwdore Justice, the well known
ftnsylvunla economist, writes as fol-
L-15 in a recent issue of the l'hlluik-1
til Bulletin:
Jlwc is no need any .longer to wait
(tf prosperity; it is here now, and
Ulnss are going right. The day for ca
many nmvunff is over, and we nave a
kir and well balanced tariff law which
promises to be reasonably permanent,
Hinuiacturers ana merchants can now
Btduct their business with relief from
t!dt cruKhinff anxiety that accom
lulled the Wilson tariff act.
The wool schedule of the new tariff,
hhlch is practically the re-enactment
k the McKinlcy rates with no changes,
littpt such as were improvements, is
rnerally regarded with satisfaction by
tow in business, and the wool grow
n of the United States are delighted
iH the result. Many of them never
kpected to again see adequate pro-
kctlon to their Industry.
The Wilson act caused prices to fall
li the foreign level, and also caused the
timing of one-half of the American
bills, thus narrowing the market for
Lnerican wool one-half, as well as
tuiing a shrinkage of one-half In the
lue, but under the prospect of the
Mtoratlon of the McKlnley rates on
hoi, under the name of the Dlngley
E, mills began to start up and the
lumption of wool Is now almost
It to normal conditions. It Is believed
lit (or the coming year the consump
ka of wool by domestic manufacturers
rill exceed that of any previous year,
t only making a market for wool, but
Mug employment to labor, furnishing
I with ability to purchase much need
I household supplies, which spreads
ney In every direction, thus Increas
I the general prosperity.
For the first time In four years there
not a cloud on the horizon to menace
hilness prosperity. Those who are an-
ipatlng p.n Immediate boom, however.
prbe disappointed. The Improvement,
be tostlnp, must be gradual. The
"wNry of prices will be upward. The
Irwt of higher cost for material
p as a spur upon the demand. Since
Wilson law was contemplated tho
Kiwy of prices for merchandise has
kn downward, acting as a chock to
Wnejs expansion, for merchants then
pklng their shelves were confronted
ft the prospect of havlncr merehan-
pe shrink In value before it could be
pored of. Shrinking prices has been
f rule, so that loss fell upon tho man-
ftfturer, and upon tho merchant; and
ping encouraging accompanied the
Muot of business until good times'
fre brought In slht by the election of (
pacnt MiKlnley, who, although de-
FW termed "the advance acent of
pperlty," has proven that many a
f word Is spoken in Jest. "The ad-
n aK("m of prosperity" Is followed
the successful realization of more

There Are No "Off Years" For the
Party of Progress, Protec
tion and Prosperity,
Tha sweeping swell of last year's
great Republican victory In Pennsyl
vania will repeat itself this fall In a
majority as large or greater than that
polled for JIcKinley and Hobart. The
Republican standard bearers. James S.
Beacom and Major Levi O. McCauley.
candidates for state treasurer and au
ditor general, respectively, inspire con
fidence among all classes throughout
the commonwealth. Both are gentlemen
of the highest character, and were
placed at the head of the ticket because
of their honor. Integrity and eminent
fitness for tho positions to which they
aspire. Pennsylvania will sound the
keynote for the whole Union, retaining
every inch of ground won In lsuti.
Side Issues, that have their origin in
a search for scandal, will receive little
consideration In this year of prosperity,
w hen business men ami worklngmen of
every party are congratulating them
selves on their escape from liryanism,
Coxeylsm and Altgeldlsm. There are no
perfect men on earth, and there never
will be a perfect legislature, but the lie
publican party having furnished the
state t'ie best government It lias ever
had, has a riht to claim the r-ntilldenee
of tho people and ask for an old time
majority for her candidates.
Prohibition as a political isnue In
Pennsylvania breathed its last when
the late Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, with all
his earnestness and courage and great
ability, could not convince the people
that the lamentable failure of Prohi
bition In the western and New Eng
land states would not be repeated In
Pennsylvania. It gave its last gasp as a
political Issue and died. It Is a moral
question and belongs in the pulpit, and
must be settled by the common sense of
tne masses themselves. For 5,000 years
this question has been discussed, and
It Is altogether Improbable that a so
lution will be Immediately found, es
pecially as the result of scandal search
ing. One thing Is certain, and that is that
few voters will be enticed Into the
camp of the political Trohlbltlonlst on
the thin subterfuge of aiding the cause
of temperance through the office of
state treasurer! It does not take very
profound intellect to comprehend the
fact that the office of state
treasurer Is executive and not legis
lative, and that the latter branch
of the state government Is the proper
and only branch that can deal with the
suppression or regulation or the liquor
traffic.
And while prohibition In Pennsyl
vania Is dead as a political Issue, De
mocracy shows the same state of coma.
The Reading convention, with delegates
thrown out of the windows, pushed off
the platform and knocked down, was
disgraced quite sutllclent for a large
per centage of Pennsylvania Demo
crat!, but the free silver platform and
endorsement of Rryanlsm so far spoiled
the stew that thousands will either
vote the Republican ticket or remain
away from the polls.
After three years of panic and ruin
and desolation, scores of thousnnds of
Democrats voted for McKlnley nnd Ho
bart. and do not wish to be called Dem
ocrats nsaln. nnd this fall these same
voters will cast their ballots for liea
com nnd McCauley, because they are
anxious to endorso and commend the
party that led them from the night of
despair to the full noon of prosperity
and happiness.
Independent of natlonnl issues the
Republican party of Pennsylvania de
serves the support of her voters.
I'nder tho domination of this great
party, wisely led forward with progres
sive strides, ever following the con
structive policy, which is the policy of
advancement and enlightenment, wo
have seen the burden of state taxation
pass from the shoulders of the indi
vidual to the corporations; we have seen
tho great public school system ex
panded and nourished by the stnte un
til the princely sum of $11,000,000 is now
appropriated by every legislature for
their maintenance; we have seen the
poor man relieved of the burden of
buying school books for his children,
which has made It possible for all, rich
and poor alike, to have an equal chance
of acquiring an education. The Re
publican party did these great things,
which ore a few among the countless
acts of beneficence and lofty achieve
ments, without regard to tariff or the
war or the money question.
And all these years of Increasing
taxation for tho corporations, and relief
for the masses, with millions upon mil
lions to be handled and accounted for
by our state officers, tho commonwealth
has never lost one cent! Such a great
party and such economical and careful
housekeeping may well challengo the
mnmonweaitb. The Republican paror
needs the votes of all her old suppoit
srs and will welcome the votes of Dem
ocrat and others, and on tht other
hand, the farmer, the mechanic, the
business man and the working man
need the Republican party to give them
good government and prosperity.
In the light of recent events the path
Of duty for every voter la made plain.

The late Democratlcstate conven
tion of Pennsylvania, dominated by the
Bllvercrats, is described by leading pa
ters of that state, Including Buch old
time Democratic organs as the Phila
delphia Record and Times, as the worst
exhibition of political ruffianism ever
Witnessed In Pennsylvania. Duly ac
credited delegates were thrown out
bodily without ceremony or Investiga
tion, In order to secure a sufficient ma
jority to remove Harrlty, ex-chalrman
of the national Democratic committee.
Chairman Garman and other sllvercrat
leaders are sharply attacked for their
violent and lawless methods of secur
ing the needed majority. These gentle
men, however, have the highest au
thority for their" proceedings. Mr. Bryan
himself was admitted to the conven
tion that nominated him for president
over the regular delegation from Ne
braska, which was not allowed seats In
the hall. The regular accredited delega
tion from Michigan was turned out
bodily and a delegation admitted that
had never been voted on, much less ac
tually elected to the convention In that
state. This and other outrages were
perpetrated for the purpose, of securing
the necessary two-thirds majority to
adopt a platform and nominate candi
dates. It would be difficult to Imagine
anything more "regular," therefore,
than the proceedings of the Pennsyl
vania Democratic convention which
ousted Hastily.

Bo that when you cast your vote for
the whole Republican ticket you Justly
give your support to the party of prog,
ress, the party that stands nearest the
people and that hns approached nearer
to perfection In the wise nnd safe dl
roctlon of public affairs than any other.
No Republican should bo misled by
the cry of alleged reformers that this
is an "off year" and thnt there Is no
danger to their party If they Just thli
once compliment an outsider. The He
publican party needs you as much this
year as any other. If reforms are need
ed In tho Republican party It will b
found, as In tho past, to be great
enough and good enough to accomplish
them without any help from the out
side. And Democrats who do not ap
prove of the Reading platform should
not hesitate to come out clear and
straight in advocacy and support oi
Republican principles. It Is the only

remedies were Riven him by the whole
pale, but they did not the slightest good.
I had almost despaired of his ever being
cured, when by the advice of a friend we
gave him S.S.S. (Swift's Specific), and
at first the inflammation seemed to in
crease, but as this is the way the remedy
gets rid of the poison, by forcing it out
of the system, we were encouraged and
continued the medicine. A decided im
provement was the result, and after he
had taken a dozcu bottles, no one who
knew of his former dreadful condition
would have recognized him. All the
sorej on his body Lave healed, his skin
is perfectly clear and smooth, and he
has been restored to perfect health."
Mr. A. T. Morizan. one of the nromi-
nent druggists of Macon, and a member
of the board of aldermen of that city,
says: "I am familiar with the terrible
condition of little Charlie Mabry, and
the cure which S.S.S. effected in his
case was remarkable, and proves it to
be a wonderful blood remedy."
