many men and all are his lirm friends.
Mr. Lord was a miner and is now a
leading merchant of Mt. Carmel. He
has the warm friendship of all the
miners.
There are vital questions to be passed
upon by the next Congress which make
it important that every effort should be
made to elect the Republican candidates.
The Democrats, in every state, are
bending all their energies to gain con
trol of the national House of Represen
tatives. A campaign book has been
issued by the Democracy favoring a
reduction of the war tax. This was
done by the last Republican Congress.
Said campaign book further advocates
improvement of the arid lands of the
west. The last Congress passing just
snch a measure. Thus does Democracy
endorse and advocate what has been
done by the Republicans, furnishing a
powerful argument for the election of
the Republican Congressional candi

THE F» OF LAIiOK
That is What the Republican Party
Has Shown Itself.
LABOR LAWS OF FORTY YEARS
Sewing Women, Miners, Motormen,
Slate Pickers, Children, All Classes
of Bread Winners, Are Protected By
Laws Passed By Republican Legis
latures.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—One of the
most important features of the pres
ent campaign will be a showing of the
part that the Republican party has
played in the life of the workingman
of Pennsylvania. It is a marvelous
showing.
The present reign of prosperity,
shared alike by every toiler, whether
it be in mill, forge, factory or on the
farm, can be traced to the wise and
beneficent working of national laws
enacted alike for the protection of la
bor and capital. The Republican par
ty in the nation has ever been the
staunch friend of the workingman.
The Republican party in the state lias
emphasized this by enacting laws cov
ering a period of 35 years, for the com
fort, convenience and protection of
the working man and woman. There
has been compiled within the past
week a complete list of labor laws
passed in Pennsylvania by Republican
legislatures since the close of the Civil
War that is one of the most remark
able things of its kind in existence.
Pennsylvania leads every state in
the character of its labor legislation.
Nearly 100 bills directly affecting the
men, women and children of the state
who earn their living by the sweat of
their brows have been enacted in the
past 35 years.
WOMAN AND THE SEWING MA
CHINE.
At the close of the Civil War indus
trial and commercial enterprises were
in a more or less chaotic state. Thou
sands of widows, mothers and daugh
ters of soldiers were compelled to eek
out a living as seamstresses and dress
makers. One of the first laws passed
by the legislature of 18G9 was an act
to exempt sewing machines belonging
to seamstresses from levy and sale on
execution or distress for rent.
At this time the great anthracite
coal regions of the state were just be
ginning their period of development.
There were practically no laws look
ing to the protection of human life in
the mines, and it was a Republican
legislature that took up this subject
at this time, and during all of the suc
ceeding years has passed laws whose
object has been the protection of life
and limb of the toilers in the darkness
of the mine.
On page 852 of the pamphlet laws of
1869 will be found one of the first min
ing laws enacted, entitled "An Act for
the Better Regulation and Ventilation
of Mines, and for the Protection of
the Lives of Miners in Schuylkill
County."
This was only the beginning. It
was followed by a general law for the
safety and health of persons employed
in coal mines, passed in 1870. In the
same year laws were passed for the
protection of miners In various coun
ties of the state.
In 1872 an act for the better protec
tion of the wages of mechanics, miners,
laborers and others was passed, as
well as a bill providing "For the Es
tablishment of a Bureau of Statistics
on the Subject of Labor and for Other
Purposes." (P. L. 1872. page 59.)
In all the years up to the present
there have been numerous similar en
actments. In 1872 one of the most im
portant measures ever enacted into a
law, the record of which can be found
in the pamphlet laws for 1872. on page
1,175, was the act to relieve laborers,
workingmen and Journeymen from
certain prosecutions and indictments
for conspiracy under the criminal laws
of the commonwealth. This act has
conserved the liberty of thousands of
wage earners in Pennsylvania in the
past 30 years.
PROTECT INO BR E AD-WINNERS.
It was the Republican party in the
legislative session of 1874 that passed
a law in relation to suits for wages,
preventing stay of execution on judg
ments obtained for SIOO or less.
It was a Republican legislature that
appropriated the first money to nid in
the erection and maintenance of an
anthracite hospital in Pennsylvania.
This was in 1874.
England, with all its boasted civili
zation of centuries, is away behind
Pennsylvania in the protection of
women and children in their employ
ment. South Carolina today is a blot
on the map of the south because of
its absence of laws prohibiting the
employment of children, and its lax
legislation regarding the employment
of women in various industries. In
1878 one of the most stringent laws
enacted by any legislature related to
the employment of females in hotels,
taverns, saloons and eating houses or
other places for the sale of intoxicat
ing and other drinks. It was a Penn
sylvania Republican legislature that
passed a law prohibiting female labor
In and about the coal mines and manu
factories thereof, and for the preserva
tion of the health of female employes
In manufacturing, mechanical and
mercantile establishments.
All through the years in which the
Republican party has been in power in
Pennsylvania it has endeavored to see
that full and ample justice has been
done by employers, whether iirrus, cor
porations or Individuals, to thQ citizens
of the state in their employ. It was at
the Bession of 1878 that a law was pass
ed fixing the standard weight of a bush
el of bituminous coal. It was during
the session of 1881 that the law was
passed securing to operatives and la
borers engaged in and about coal
mines, manufactories of iron and steel
and all other manufactories, the pay
ment of their wages at regular Inter
vals and In lawful money of the United
States.
REGULAR PAY DAYS.
This is one of the most important
laws ever enacted. Middle-aged men
today remember the conditions that ex
isted prior to the passage of this act.
Employes, often of large concerns,
were frequently depriveiVi'f their earn
ings for from 30 to CO d™, often only
paid in part and frequently with script,
store orders or other alleged equiva
lents of value. The passage of this
law made compulsory the payment to
every employe, every working man
and woman, the wages due him or her
In lawful money of the country and at
stated intervals.
Every field of labor has been covered
by Republican laws enacted by Repub
lican legislatures. The law limiting

ers and employes of horse, cable and
electric railways, was passed by the
legislature of 1887. The legislature of
that year struck the final blow at child
labor in this state by prohibiting the
employment of any child under the
age of 12 years by any individual, firm
or company, to do any work in any
mill, manufactory or mine, or any
work pertaining thereto.
Going a step beyond the mere enact
ment of laws protecting coal miners,
the assembly of 1889 enacted the law
compelling the examination of miners
in the anthracite region for the pur
pose of preventing the employment of
incompetent persons in those mines.
The factory law of the state which
regulates the employment and provid
ed for the safety of women and chil
dren in mercantile industries and man
ufacturing establishments, and to pro
vide for the appointment of inspectors
to enforce this law, became operative
through the action of the legislature of
1889.
ALL CLASSES PROTECTED.
So the long line of beneficial laws
might be continued, 'i no toiler in the
tenement house, the woman in the
store, the mechanic at the bench, the
young woman at the cigar table, the
worker in the mine, the puddler in the
mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort,
convenience and protection they have
to the wisdom of Republican legisla
tors and the efforts of Republican
statesmen.
It is understood that one of the bat
tle cries of the Democracy this fall is
to be the declaration that the Republi
can party has done little or nothing
for the working man. It is false,
wretchedly false, as the Pamphlet Laws
of Pennsylvania demonstrate in all the
publications from 1865 to 1902.

relief until inj wife got a bottle of
this valuable medicine, which has
completely relieved me.—W. S. Brock

Welsh Brothers' Great Shows.
Welsh Brothers' celebrated Railroad
Shows opened a four days engagement
on Wednesday afternoon at Fourth
and Chestnut streets, when they gave
a splendid performance, which was
attended by a large crowd. At the
evening performance long before the
hour for opening, there was an im
mense crowd of many hundreds pur
chasing tickets and eager to gain ad
mission. Before the hour for the per
formance to commence every seat, in.
eluding the reserved seat section, was
filled, and several hundred persons
were required to stand. The manage
ment did everything possible to seat
the people, but the crowd was far be
yond expectation, which proves that
the show is very popular with the peo
ple. Hie show carries its own splen
did band, which furnishes good music
throughout the performance, which is
interesting refined in every partic
ular.
For over two hours there was a con
tinuous exhibition of new and marvel
ous features; the show also is much
larger and hotter than ever. The pop
ular prices of admission permit old
and young to visit the show, which is
e jual to many higher-priced aggrega

Josh Westliafer, of Loogootee, Ind.,
is a poor man, but he says he would
not be without Chamberlain's Pain
Balm if it cost five dollars a bottle, for
is saved him from being a cripple. No

The Watchword ofWomtn.
Modesty is woman's watchword.
Whatever threatens her delicate sense
of modesty, frightens her. For this
reason .many a woman permits disease
of the delicate womanly organs to
become aggravated because she can
not bring herself to submit to the or
deal of unpleasant questionings,offen
sive examinations, and obnoxious loc
al treatments, which some physic
ians find necessary. Doubtless thous
ands of the women who have taken ail
vantage of Dr. Pierce's offer of the
free consultation by letter, have
led to do so by the escape thus offered
from a treatment repugnant to mod
esty. Any sick woman may write to
Dr. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.,iu perfect
confidence; all letters being treated
as strictly private and sacredly confi
dential ; and all answers being sent in
plain envelopes with no advertising or
other printing upon them. Dr. Pierce
Favorite Prescription has been long

"Side Tracked."
The attraction at the Opera House
on Saturday evening is tint ever wel
come comedy production "Hide Track
ed." The principal figure in the piece
is a tramp, through whose persistent
efforts a mysterious crime is finally
cleared up. The tram]) provokes a
great deal of fun. He is constantly
getting into trouble, hut in the end
proves the truth of the old maxim that
a noble heart oft beats under a ragged
coat. In the second act the (ramp is
side-tracked on flu- limited freight,
and here an opportunity is offered for
the display of ingenious mechanical
effects. A full train of cars crosses the
stage, and tins tramp scrambles out of
a car while the train is in motion.
There are four acts in the play, each
one seeming funnier than the one pro
ceeding, and the audience is kept eon
t)nuallv laughing. Interwoven into
the comedy, which is the main ele
ment, is a pretty and pathetic little
story. It tells of a mysterious crime,
which is only solved by the persever
ance of the good natured tramp.
There is a snap and dash about the
play that makes it"go" with the
whole house.
"The Little Mother."
No church in the United States is so
well known, or so much talked about,
as "The Little Ohurch Around the
Corner" which is situated in the mid
dle section of New York City. Many
of the prominent actors and act
resses have been buried from this
sacred edifice, and many of the poorer
class of this great city have received
supplies from this little church, that
has kept "The Wolf from the door."
"The Little Church Around the Cor
ner" will be shown in the production
of"The Little Mother" which will
appear at the Opera House Tuesday
evening, Sept 2:S.

THE UNION PARTY ROW
Attempt of Democracy to Steal the
Party Opens Eyes of the People.
It ever the so-called Union Party had
any standing before the people of
Pennsylvania it was irrevocably lost
by the bare-faced attempt of the Demo
crats, with Democratic money in its
pocket and black-jacks and ax-handles
In its hands, to capture the party at
its Philadelphia convention.
That this political hybrfd is dead is
shown by the action of the principal
men in its councils to organize an
other party called the "Rallot Reform
Party." Papers have been filed with
this object in view. The same men
who helped the Democracy in its at
tempt to capture the Union Party con
vention have signed their names to
the papers of the "Ballot Reform Par
ty."
On this subject the Pittsburg Com
mercial Gazette has this to say about
the Union Party and its rowdy Dem
ocratic members:
"The riotous proceedings of the
Union Party gathering at Philadel
phia are a commentary on tho present
lack of unity of an eastern sentiment
that plasters itself with large reform
labels. Riotous doings in political
gatherings are never to be commend
ed. but the disorder in this ease is a
useful straw showing that real reform
can't be headed off by machine work
ers wearing a reform mask. The
Union Party as an organization was
financed a year ago from the same
barrel that supplied the back-bone for
the Democratic ticket. The net result
of the operation was to wreck the
Philadelphia Democratic organiza
tion."
"Undeterred by this boomerang, the
same financial power this year again
undertook to control the real as well
as make-believe reform sentiment em
braced in the Union organization.
Hence there is a Union split that
promises to make business for the
courts and the lawyers. The first
round ends in a knock down, figura
tively and literally, of the Democratic
barrel faction. It is probably at the
same time the beginning of the end
of the Union Party.
"Whatever may happen to the Union
factions in their contest In the courts,
the differences revealed furnish proof
that the tide of public sentiment runs
strongly in the direction of a largely
increased Republican majority as
compared with last year."

Senators Quay and Penrose have an
earnest sympathy for the men of the
anthracite region. It was this fact,
coupled with the receipt of nearly two
thousand letter by the United States
senators, that led them to visit Presi
dent Baer, of the Reading Railroad, in
the hope of bringing the trouble to a
speedy termination. Thus far all ef
forts have failed. Governor Stone took
up the matter, but he, too, has failed
to bring about any change in existing
conditions. Miners and operators
seem determined to grant no conces
sions and the settlement of the strike
now seems a long way off.
THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS
The Convention at Erie This Week
anrt Some of Its Novel Features.
The State League of Republican
Clubs, which is holding its annual
convention in Erie this week, is one
of the most unusual gatherings of its
kind ever assembled within the bor
ders of the state. The attendance is
larger, as indicated by the number of
special trains engaged than ever be
fore in the history of the league. The
enthusiasm is greater because of the
novelties that have been introduced
into the campaign.
Perhaps the most striking of these
is a great ball marked with Pennsyl
vania's record of Republican patriot
ism and carrying the pictures of
Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt,
Judge Pennypacker and the Republi
can candidates of this year, which is
being taken to Erie on a special car
and from there is to be rolled back
wards across the state to Philadel
phia. The idea, which was evolved
from the fertile brain of a couple of
Philadelphia Republicans, Joseph M.
Huston and J. Hampton Moore, city
treasurer of Philadelphia, is that at
the border of each county a number
of Republicans representing that coun
ty shall take the ball in charge, roll
it along the highways to the borders
of the adjoining county, where it will
in turn pass into other hands, and so
on through the state.
It is expected that this novel spec
tacle will attract thousands to the
line of the ball's progress and excite
universal enthusiasm among the Re
publicans of the state.

A Headache Remedy That
Cures.
After years of careful study and ex
periments we have found a remedy that
will cure headache in nearly every case
with the first dose. It is a Tablet ; put
up in handsome boxes of fifteen tablet
for ten cents. One tanlet is a dose.
They contain nothing harmful and no
bad after-effects can come from their
use. They are endorsed by some of the
leading physicians.
Ml{. S. C. KELLER, of Bloomsburg.
sa\-s: "I have tried nearly all headache
remedies on the market and think there
is none equal to yours. I would not l»e
without them for ten times their cost..
Ask your dealer for a sample.
