This "fictitious" prosperity is lie-t

How the Democratic "statesmen"
would like to see a period of busi
ness depression set IU I But there
is no fear of this, with protective
tariff and a gold-standard-measure
upon the statute Imoks.
Scarcity of coal in Germany is af
fording another opportunity for an
American product to supply the
needs of a foreign market, and the
'tarifl wall" of protection does not
stop our coal from going to Europe.
In less than four years the money
in circulation in the United States

of 189G that no increased circulation
OOOld occur without the adoption of
free silver.

Altough we can heat the world in
manufacturing goods, and in quick

routes, we lack the facilities for
transporting our goods by water to
foreign buyers. We should he as

on the land, and encourage American
shipping.
Notwithstanding extraordinary -
expenses in connection with the j
Philippine insurrection, the public I
debt ol the I faited States under Re-
publican management is rapidly de
creasing. During the piping times
of peace of the last Democratic free- J

creased in just alsnit the same ratio
as it is now being reduced.
MAHON'S REPLY TO TILLMAN
Huntington (Jtobr.
Durioff the debate on the Puerto
ey
Ivican bill in Congress last Wednes
day, Mr. Malum, of this district, in
a ten-miuute speech called attention
to the bra sen declaration of Senator
Tillman regarding the brutal treat
ment of negroes in South Carolina.
Mr. Mahon was heartily applauded
by the Republicans for his vigorous
protest. During his remarks iie
said :
" I have heard it -aid that it is
the purpose of the Democratic part
to put the Declaration of Indijien
dence into their next national plat
form, and thus show the peopM of
Puerto Rico and the Philippines
that the Democratic parly is in favor
of liberty, justice and mercy to all
under the flair. 'That all men are
creaceu iree ami oquau oeiore mci
law,' etc.
' What hypocrisy ! What duplic-!
ity ! Iet the black-faced Filipino!
learn at onoe that the Democracy of I
the Smtli has always treated, ami
tlo now treat the black man as if lie i
had no rights they were bound to :
respect. Ben Tillman, one of their j
. s j l I r
Ifltden In the Senate on last Monday j
piotured the Sontheni Democrat! in I
the true lilit when he made thebru-1
ud declaration on the floor oi the
United State- Senate:
" I.et me tell you how we were situated in
oat State. We had l'iS.OOt) negroes of voting
aaa and wa had in onn white. ow. can you
lift yOUrStlf over the fence with your hoot
traps and beat that by honest methods. Yet
you stood up here and insisted that we must
givcthese people "a free .-ote and afair count "
They had it for eight years, as long as baronets
stood there, ami in 1T) they sent more liayn
nct, because we had got the devil in us by that
lime, ami we did not care whether we had any
government. When that happened we took
the government away. We stuffed ballot boie.
We shot them. We are not ashamed of it' "
"I would surest that this be add
ed .v a peroration to the next Na
tional Democratic platform. In the
presence of this infamous declara
tion the Democratic leaders in the
lit use pretended to extent! their
sympathy to and shed tears for the
Mack man of Luzon surely the
days of the Pharisee are not ended."
MIDDLEBURG'S CENIENNIAL
We clip the following from
Outre county paper:
"The county commissioners and
the Mrgess ol Bellefonte have issued
a call to the citizens oi the county to
assemble in the Arbitration room in
the court house this (Wednesday)
evening lor the purpose ol du organ
ization to prepare tor the proper
celebration of Centre county's cen-
tennial. This matter should lie en-
couraged everywhere and tlie event
celebrated in the most fitting manner."
is now 100 vcars since the town of
j Middleburg was laid out. Thecen
j tennial should be celebrated in a
litting manner. A tiny should I
selected at once. The tacts should
! be collected and a history of the
town should lie Written, Any day
almost during the entire year would
do, but we suggest that July 4th Ik
selected, owing to it being a National
holiday anil it comes about the mid
dle oi the year.
We should not forget the memor
able deeds of the hardy pioneers who
endured a rough ocean voyage of
8000 miles, nor the privation they
suffered in this wild forest 100 years
ago. The Indian with his tomahawk
was a constant menace to xaee-lov-injr
citizens. The Stump's Kun
Disaster, which occurred within the
present limits of the borough, still
haunts us. It occurred January 11,
