Do your work right and leavo re
sults to the natural outcome.
There are people who try so hard
to stay young that they wear,th'eni
selves out, and grow old faster than
anyone else.
We notice with regret that many
of the reformed gamblers and evan
gelist ball players are men who have
lost the knack of dealing from the
bottom or of throwing from second
base to the home plate.
Charles Frederick Wright, who
was appointed stato treasurer by
Governor Stuart last May, has only
been In ofllce five months, yet his
attendance card which Indicates the
number of days which he was pres
ent at his office, performing his du
ties, shows that In his four months
of service he has been present a
greater number of days than Mr.
Berry was In the two-year term that
he drew his pay as Treasurer.
Berry's brickyard business, occu
pied more of his time than the state
treasurershlp did.
A Democratic newspaper asks: Is
it a fact that William H. Berry
would have been an enthusiastic ad
vocate of Democratic regularity if
the Allentown convention had only
given him a few mora votes than it
cast for Grim? And yet It would
have been the same 'old party, with
the very platform upon which Mr.
Grim is now standing." Of course
ho would. Even after congratulat
ing Grim on the nomination, Berry
was satisfied for a whole week, but
when Berry's friends began working
on hiss self-conceit, telling him he
"ought to have had the nomination,"
that he was the "dickey bird" for
the place, Berry began to think so
himself. Thus was founded the
Keystone party.
SCALING DOWN ALL AROUND.
The American farmer who received
28 cents a bushel for corn In 1S9G
is now getting C2 cents; his wheat
In the first named year was bringing
C3, it is now sold at $1.18; cotton
was .07 in 190C, and Is now 15
cents a pound; eggs were worth 12
cents, now they fetch 25 without
trouble, and so on through the list.
Perhaps the tiller of the soil has a
kick coming, but the consumer Is
not disposed to agree with him and
is now fixing things and ho has the
active aid of the agriculturist in his
efforts so that there will be a scal
ing down all around. When tho job
is accomplished It Is safe to predict
that the American farmer will not
regard price lists with the complac
ency ho does at present.
MR. TE.VER UNDER FIRE.
If wo had ever entertained any
doubt as to tho capacity of John K.
Tener to occupy tho chair soon to
be made vacant by Governor Stuart,
that doubt would be set at rest by the
calm and dignified manner in which
he has met tho vilification of his
enemies the inevitable vilification
which has spoiled tho purpose of
every reform move in Pennsylvania
by disclosing tho mean motives and
tho venomous tusks of tho men be
hind the scenes.
Tho dire and dreadful secrets which
were darkly hinted at by Mr.enor's
accusers have been -tnado 'public.
They consist of tho assertion that
Mr. Tener was at one tlmo president
of a company which tho accusers
choose to regard as fraudulent, al
though tho courts have never found
it so.
Mr. Tener'B association with it was
never a secret, and there were en
gaged with him in tho enterprise
some very eminent gentlemen, whose
honesty and business morality the
Keystono party doos not question.
Just why theso gentlemen should bo
provided with a clean bill of health,
while all tho mud is dumped on Mr.
Toner, does not nppoar. Perhaps It
Is bccnuBo thoy nro not In politics.
Perhaps it Is becnuso thoy are Berry
sympathizers and contributors. i
Bo that as It mny, tho tiny mouse1
this fatuous mountain of reform has
brought forth after such prodigious j
throes of promlso has failed to 1
nrouse much Interest. Tho policy j
of tho Keystone party, from Berry
down, or from Berry up, has been
to call names and throw mud. Hence,
when it calls n little louder and
throws a little faster, It Is merely a
question of degree. There is no
merit of novelty about It. It carries
no sense of conviction. Tho boy
shepherd could not draw the crowd
indefinitely by crying "Wolf!" and
that tho professional reformers have
often sounded tho nlarm falsely Is
nowhere belter Illustrated than In
that clause of their own indictment
which suggests that tho matter may
safely be left to Governor Stuart be
cause "the people trust Governor
Stuart.
Four years ago, they were sending
out the same alarms against him.
Ho didn't happen to bo connected
with this particular company, but. ho
was everything that was wicked and
false and subservient to Indecent po
litical Influences.
This sort of campaigning belongs
to a barbarous past. There was an
outburst of applause In Butler, which
we believe, represents the sentiment
of tho whole people of Pennsylva
nia, when Mr. Tener said:
"I would rather occupy tho lowli
est position on earth than go about
tho state speaking 111 of and vilify
ing my opponents,' just to get an of
fice." Harrlsburg- Telegraph.
'JVhy don't tho county papers which
are 'supporting Klpp for Congress
publish his record while commission
er of Wayne county. If a man can
not honestly represent Wayne coun
ty as a commissioner why should
Wayne county voters cast their bal
lots for him as congressman?
C. C. PRATT has filled every posi
tion in public and private life hon
estly and uprightly. The only charge
that Is made against him is he vot
ed with tho Republican Congressman
to put a tariff high enough on all
foreign-made goods so that our work
ingmen could get fair living wages
and on products of the farm, so that
the farmer could sell at a fair profit.
We are pleased to announce that
In all sections of the county the peo
ple are favorable to the election of
H. C. JACKSON for Representative.
His manly declaration that he will,
If elected vote for local option and
for any measure that will give the
people an opportunity to shape their
own laws and have something to say
regarding the schools, roads and tax
ation In their own townships. Wayne
county has been sending men to Har
risburg for years and about all they
do is to represent themselves or their
own interests.
A new republic was formed last
week when Portugal dethroned her
king and established a republican
form of government. Portugal is
about three-fourths tho size of
Pennsylvania and contains a popu
lation of a little over four million.
In Columbus' day it was one of the
strongest nations in Europe. But
it kept its people ignorant, thus sow
ing the seed of non-progress which
at last bore a crop of weakness that
destroyed her ancient glory as ig
norance will destroy tho glory of
any nation or race. Another reason
for tho overthrow of tho ruler was
tho fact that tho people were being
taxed beyond endurance to keep up
the royal family, and thoy became
tired of it. Recently tho king be
came enamored with a French dan
cer, and this added to tho flamo al
ready started with the result of de
throning him.

HONEST SENATOR CARTER.
Tho possibility of the defeat of
Senator Carter for re-election in
Montana recalls his defeat ten yeard
ago. There was a dinner at which
a number of men, who had been de
feated that fall, spoko on the sub
ject of "how it seems to become a
has-been. Nearly every one of them
asserted that "while life in Wash
lngton was very pleasant, upon tho
whole they were glad to return to
the untrammeled pathways of pri
vate life." Finally Carter's turn ar
rived, and he took an entirely dif
ferent tack. He regretted defeat;
regretted leaving Washington and
its pleasures; could not reconcile
himself to tho pleasures of private
life, and told stories to Bhow that
every defeated man was as sore as
he could be, and that any man who
said anything to the contrary belong'
ed In tho Ananias Club although
it was not organized at that period.
Carter made a hit. His droll humor
and the manner in which he ".put It
ed gales of laughter.

use on which tariff rates were re
duced In the Payne-Aldrich bill:

Congressman C. C. PRATT voted
for ovoryono of theso reductions. So
did every other Republican Con
gressman. HAD A CHANGE OF HEART.
Frank Munsey recently had a
change of heart. For a lotjg tlmo his
publications advocated Free Trade,
but after a visit to Europe, where ho
looked. Into conditions, in nn inter
view with a Herald !roporter on his
return to New York ho said: "If
tho tariff bo reduced we cannot main
tain the high wago rate now In forco.
A lowering of tho tariff would in
vito nn Influx of foreign goods pro
duced by cheap labor, and wages In
our country would havo to go down
with the tariff ns a matter of busi
ness expediency, of business exist
ence." There is tho whole thing In
a jjut shell, only Mr. Munsey neg
lected to add that when tho wages
,of labor nre lowered the profits of
tho middleman and tho fees of tho
professional class will also descend.
Use tho Bell.
ANOTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Tho North Amorlcnn In Its venge
ful manner carried tho alleged ex
poso of tho Public Utility company
ono step farther than discretion
should have permitted, in naming
tho directors of the corporation de
clared to bo a fake and a swindle,
the paper mentioned ns ono of the
directors of tho Toner company Sim
eon Merrell of Mcndvlllo. Simeon
Merrell Is president of tho Yost .Man
ufacturing company nt Mcadvlllo. He
Is n director of tho Now First Na
tional bank of that city and Is ono
of tho most esteemed men of tho
county seat. Mr. Merrell was asked
over tho long distance telephone
whether tho charges made against'
Mr. Toner hnvo any foundation.
"The chnrges havo no foundation,"
snld Mr. Merrell. "Where there is
one grain of truth there aro nlnety
nlnc parts of falsehood. It Is true
that Mr. Toner wns formerly con
nected with the Nntlonal Public Uni
ties corporation, of which I nm a di
rector. But ho never received a cent
of salary and never owned nny stock.
There was a tlmo when ho was con
sidering becoming an Investor with
us. But ho plnced his money else
where. Ho owns no stock In our
company and Is not connected with It
In nny official position. Tho company
was founded upon substantial busi
ness lines and It is neither a swindle
nor a fraud. It Is in excellent 11
iinnclul condition.
"I had thought at ttrst," Mr. Mer
rell said, "of making a public answer
to the Philadelphia North American.
But after my friends and I had dis
cussed the question and they had
called attention to the source of the
story and the fact that It was for po
litical purposes only, I havo decid
ed not to make a formal answer at
the present time.
"I have met John K. Tener two or
three times In n business way. I
think him a very strong man. I am
much mistaken unless he is an un-
bosscd man, as well as a strong one.
I have seen him in a position where
the real man revealed itself and he
responded to the test. I know
Messrs. Smart and Adams, mentioned
In tho North American article. They
are both the soul of honor and I have
the greatest personal confidence In
them."
People who know Mr. Merrill will
allow all their fears to bo quieted
by this manly, straightforward and
honorable statement. He has been
prominent In the county for a good
many years, coming to Meadvllle from
the east and engaging In tho hay-
pressing business. He prospered 11
nanclally and a few years ago he was
made president of the lost Manu
facturing company, one of the lead
ing industries at the county seat.
No director of the New First Nation
al bank of that city is more influen
tial. In his home, church and fra
ternal relations ho is a man who will
bear tho closest scrutiny. His state
ment about the relations of Mr. Ten
er to the National Public Utilities
corporation will have to be" accepted
as the truth.
WHY HOGS SELL AT $0 A
HUNDRED.
Tho Iowa farmer Is selling his
hogs at ?9 per hundred or more.
What enables him to receivo such
a price?
The answer Is that the people of
the United States are practically all
employed in occupations which give
back fair returns. The people have
the money with which to buy pork.
Why do the people of the United
States have plenty to do?
Tho answer Is they have plenty
to do because they produce nearly
everything which they wear or use.
They do not Import from China,
Japan and India the products of the
cheapest labor in tho world.
If the American ports were all
thrown open in tho interest of tho
consumer to give him cheap goods,
the consumer would be the tirst man
injured. Tho consumer is carried
in the imagination as a man who
draws a salary. If all our manufac
tured products were made in other
lands, ho would not bo drawing a
salary. He would be out of employ
ment. Under no circumstances
could ho compete with China, Japan
or even Frnuco or Belgium.
Why are cattle and hogs cheaper
in Canada than in the states? The
answer Is Canada does not have peo
ple enough to consume her own pro
ducts. She must ship abroad. Glvo
Canada people enough to consume
her own products and certain classes
of farming will bo just as profitable
In Canada as in tho states.
When tho Canadian farmer has
all ho can do to grow the necessary
products for Canada he will become
a rich man.
Why is cattle and grain growing
in Argentlno and Australia not as
profitable as in tho United States?
Tho answer is tho farmers of Ar
gentine and Australia aro compelled
to ship all their surplus products
abroad. If the people of Argentine
and Australia were In sufficient num
bers to consume all their own pro
ducts every farmer in thoso coun
tries would grow rich.
Tho question Is now up to tho
American farmer relative to tho sur
render of the American market to
the foreign manufacturer.
When that is done, tho American
farmer will find hlmsolf on an equal
ity with tho farmers in Australia
and Argentine. Thoy havo plenty
of products, but no consumers.
By tho inllueuco of tho Free-Traders
there is no duty upon tho high
er priced gloves for ladles. As a
consequence all such gloves aro
made In Franco. Thoro Is a Protec
tive "duty on men's glpvcs, and they
are inn do In America. The manu
facturers of gloves for ladles are
growing rich on tho open American
market. Tho largo department
stores in Now York nnd Chicago aro
tho manufacturers of gloves for
ladles nnd their factories aro in
Franco. Thoy nro making millions
out of their Froe-Trado privileges.
This same thing would happen In
other industries If put to tho test.
Tho only difference would bo that If
Freo-Trado wero adopted In rela
tion to nil manufactured products,
tho American market would not bo
so good as it Is now, fpr tho people
would not havo tho means with
which to buy.
Tho Iowa farrr would bo broken-hearted
If ,r notified today
that tho price of hogs had gono down
to f3.R0 per hundred. Tho Iowa
fnrtnor hnd better think this ques
tion ovor, rcgnrdlcss of any particu
lar friends ho may havo among tho
politicians.
What Is friendship to a farmer
when the price 01 his hogs might
go down from ?9 to $3,507

An Interesting Article by Rev. T,
n. uregory.
Cola DI Rlenzl, the "last of tho
Romans," was slain by his country
men 556 years ago October 8,
1354.
Rlenzl's story is ono of the most
romantic In history, and carries
along with It a tremendous moral.
The Innkeeper's son, talented, hand
some, wonderfully eloquent and
magnetic, and apparently patriotic,
attempted to restore to the "Eter
nal City" her departed liberty and
glory. He even went so far as to
dream of a "United Italy," with
Rome as its capital, as was the case
in tho proud days of the Punic wars,
when the eloquence of tho Catos
and the military genius of tho
Sclplos made Roman citizenship tho
proudest heritage of tho world.
The Roman people, proud of their
brilliant countryman, met him more
than half way, and in an amazingly
short time Rienzi found himself
"Tribune" the leader of the peo
ple. Ho chopped off heads of some
eighty of the nobility, assumed full
