Beatty, the great Organ and Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by - his indomitable will he has worked his way up 80 as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty's Or- gans and Pirnos since 1870. Nothing seems to dishearten him; obstacles laid in his wav, that would have wrecked any ordinary man forever, he turne to an advertisement and comes out of it brighter than ever. His instruments, as is well known, are very popular and are to be found in all parts of the world. We are informed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 200,000 more of his make, that means a business of $20,000,000 if we ‘average them at $100 each. It is already the largest business of the kind in existence—Send to Daniel F. Beatty, Washing- ton, New Jersey, for Catalogue, J. T. Shipley just received a carload of Buggies. tf.

Ter., says: ‘‘I induced Mr. Pinsun, whose wife had paralysis in the face, to buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm, To their great surprise before the bottle had all been used she was a great deal better. Her face bad been drawn to one side; ~ but the Pain Balm relieved all pain and soreness and the mouth assumed its nat- ural shape.” It is also a certain cure for rheumatism, lame back, sprains, swell- ings and lameness. 50 cent bottles for sale by Copland, the Druggist, Meyers- dale, Pa. Will He Answer This Workingman? (An open letter to Mr. Cleveland.) To the Hon. Grover Cleveland: ~ 8rm.—As you are again the standard bearer of _ that party which always professes friendship for the working people and now solicit their yotes ' in return for that professed friendship, you may perhaps condescend to spare an hour from your present laborious occupation to enlighten gome of them on the benefits to result from your pet plan of Tariff “reform.” How their condition can be improved or even maintained by the adaption of a policy which will add to the surplus product of home industry y importing the surplus product of cheap-labor ountries is incomprehensible to all but those ti-American statesmen—you among them— ho have imbibed their ideas from the English ‘school of cheap-labor economy. | As the standard bearer of your party vou owe to the people whose votes you solicit a clear and i re statement on the prospective re- h sults of yout Tariff “reform’ policy, and as nel- ol er the oaders of Jour party nor the ‘Demoerat- ic press have vet given any well-defined idea on a question of such import to American workmen. I herein appeal to yon, as the leading exponent of your party, for an answer to the following questions: 1. Is not labor the only property which the working people have to exchange for the neces- saries of life? 2. Are not their comforts medsured and their opportunities limited by the demand for labor and the price which it will bring? 3. Is not the unused surplus now on hand the only obstacle which stands between the working people and constant employment? 4. Will not the dmand for labor be lessened and its value reduced by adding to our town the surplus products of the world? 5. Will not your plan of buying from cheap- labor countries divert American eapital from the employment of American workmen at home to the employment of cheap labor in all other coun- tries? 6. Will not your plan of buying from other countries the product of cheap labor rob our working people of employment and our trades peopie of their custom to the amount of cash sent out of the country to pay for what we im- port? 7. Will not your plan of buying from abroad destroy confidence at home, discourage Ameri- can enterprise, frighten capital out of business and disemploy labor to the amount required for the production of what we import? 8. If we adopt your plan of Tariff *‘reform.” how long can our employers continue to pay us $1 for labor that can be purchased anywhere else in the world for 50 cents? 9. If we open our market to cheap labor coun- tries, will not our employers be forced to suspend until we American workmen strike colors and come down to the European standard of living which our Democratic friends have designed for us? 10, If we send $1,000,000 to England, you know, for English goods, you know, and we get the goods in exchange, you know, and. our Crisps, and our Carlisles, and our Clevelands wear them, you know, and they are so infinitely superior to anything made in America, vou know, what will the country gain? What will labor profit by the trausaction? 11. If we invest the above million in the em- ployment of our own working people, to produce a substitute for the above, it would not bear an English trade-mark. But it would bear the stamp of American enterprise. Would it not be good enough for our shoddy aristocrats? Would not our working people be benefitted? Would not the nation be $1,000,000 richer by the invest: ment? 12. Is it not an insult to the skill and genius of American workmen that creatures whom their labor has lifted from nothing to opulent and in- dependent means, or whom their votes have raised from obscurity to positions of national honor, should not find the product of an Ameri: can loom good enough to cover their bloated carcasses? 13. Do vou imagine that workingmen cannot distinguish between democracy and sham, or that you leaders can mislead the intelligent work- men of the North to come down from the exalted station to which Protection has raised them, and take their place on a platform planned in Eng- land and adopted by the Democratic party as a means to destroy American industry, to depreci- ate the value nf American labor and bring down American workmen to a level with the enslaved labor of other nations? Your reply at length to the foregoing gnestions will be read with interest by many thousands of dissatisfied Democrats. Sir, I bave the honor to be an independent Democrat, above all party considerations, and subject only to my own opinions as to what con- stitutes American Democracy. Very respectful ly, JAMES JOHNSON, 145 Sackett street, Brooklyn. A RELATIONSHIP PROBLEM.

DUTIES OF VOTERS. An Abstract of the Requirements of the New Law. ‘The commissioners of Philadelphia have pre- pared the following regulatibn for the instruec- tion and guidance of voters under the new elec- tion law, and as all these rules, except possibly the first, apply as well to Somerset county as to Pniladelphia, we reproduce them here. Voters would do well to preserve them: 1. Number in Room—Only ten voters are al- lowed in the voting room at once, outside the en- closed space; and only four voters in excess of the number of compartments are allowed inside the enclosed space at once, 2. Giving Names, etc—Voters must go first to the officers in charge of the ballots and state name and address. The right to’ vote must be proved and the voter allowed to pass the guard- rail before he can receive a ballot. 8. Preparing Ballots—Voters must prepare their ballots forewith, and in compartments. A cross (X) marked in the square at the right of a party name indicates’: a vote for all the can- didates of that party. A cross (X) marked in the square at the right of the name of the candidate indicates a vote for that candidate. “Grosses must be marked in the proper squares only, If candidates of different. partips are voted for, the square at the right of the party names must be left blank. Names must not be crossed out. Names must be inserted in the proper blank’ spaces only, and not in spaces where names are already printed. Names ean be inserted by writing, hand stamp, sticker or any other means not infringing the secrecy of the ballot. Names iuserted can be marked, but this is not necessary. \ Names printed on the ballot must not be in- serted. a |Note.—When a candidate has died or with- drawn and a substitute is nominated after the ballots are printed, the new name is to be printed on an official sticker. This should obviously be inserted over the name of the deceased or with- drawn candidate.] 4. Help in Preparing Ballots—Voters unable to prepare their own ballots can be helped to do 80, but only in case of actual disability, which must be explicitly declared to the judge. [Note.—To preserve order this should be done before the voters enter the enclosed space.] A voter desiring help must himself select an- other voter of the district to help him. The voter who receives such help without be- ing unable to prepare his ballot will be liable to indictment for unlawfully showing his ballot. A voter who attempts to influence the one whom he is helping will be liable to indiciment for unlawful electioneering. [Note.—A voter who is helping another pre- pares the ballot otherwise than as desired will be liable to indictment for forgery.] 5. Folding and Giving in Ballots, etc—Ballots must be folded so as to show only the endorse- ment. : Where a ballot has been spoiled accidentally ‘another can be obtained in its place on surren- dering it. No ballot, whether marked or not, can be tak- en from the room. [Note.—As the constitution provides that every ballot ‘shall be numbered in the order in which it shall be received” each voter must give up each ballot to inspector to number and deposit it, as has been the rule heretofore. By the new law the inspector mnst, in the presence of the vote, fasten the corner securely down over the number, and voters should see that this is done and that the ballot is then placed in the box.] 6. Challenge—[Note.—Challenges should be made before a voter receives his ballot, if possi- ble, but may be made at any time before he casts it.] ‘ For many years Mr. B. F. Thompson, of Des Moines, lowa, was severely af- flicted with chronic diarrhea. He says: ‘At times it was very severe; so much so that I feared it would end my life. About seven years ago 1 chanced to pro- cure a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Chol- era and Diarrhea Remedy. It gave me prompt relief, and I believe cured me per- manently, as I now eat or drink without | harm anything I please. I have also used it in my family with the best results.” For sale by Copland, the Druggist, Mey- ersdale, Pa. SALISBURY FOUNDRY. The Salisbury foundry has been purchased by M.
