A HAPPY OMEN.

During the speech of Gen. Combs, at New
Haven on the 9TH, most pleasing incident oc-
CURED, which is thus alluded to in the repor, of
the New Haven Courier:
Ii we fail to elect Clay now (continued Gen.
VI the experiment OF Free Government is a fai.
lure. Ii man like James X Polk can be elect
ed over man like Henry Clay, there is no use of
talking hereafter of rewa-ding public services

dents rose TO power, George Washington, Thomas
Jefferson, all of them down to Van Buren,, whom

Democrats who may vote for him now will be a.
shamed to acknowledge it to their posterity, and
they'll deny that they were at home OF voted at
all, rather than confess to their indignant of.
spring that they voted for James X. Polk. Now
look at the pedestal of Henry Clay, rising high
er and higher for the last forty years. Aye, see
HIM like an eagle with untiring pinon, soaring d.
ga'nst The sun. Here the audience were startled
by The cry of "An Eagle, an Eagle") Every
eye was raised toward the Heavens, and there,
win outspread wings, the proud bird Of our conn
try seemed to pause as if delighted with tho
scene beneath him. Gen. Combs looked up and
exclaimed-"Oh, proud bird of my country's
banner, accept the omen. Long, long NAV Won

the lard of the free and The home of the brave ~
Gentlemen, have said that these things did not

The effect of this occurrence, as may well be
supposed, was electrical, and the air resounded
with the sudden and simultaneous shouts of tho
multitude.

FACT Us. THEORY.

In ls4l the duty levied upon cotton goods, I'M
der the then existing reuenue op, was nominally
20 per cent. The tariff act of 1872 as is alleged
by the "free trade Locofocos, increased that
revenue duty to a highly protective one of GO per
cent.
In January, l94l, piece Of 4-4 shifting, of SO
yards In quantity, cost, on an average, S3,I2.
In January. 1914, under the "blacK Whip ia
riil," the like goods in quantity and quality sold
for S2,40; difference in favor of the consumer
under the "black tariff" $50 per cent. OPP
PRESTON" 70 cents, or 80 per cent.
These are facts, exhibited by actual sales
made by regular dealers in the article in the ordi
nary course Of business. When the "frec ira
ders get over such facts these, it will be quite
time enough for US to notice their crude theories
and sPeculaions about the cheap rate at which
foreigners could or would furnish us all such man
uiactured articles as we need, were we so very
liberal as 10 surrender TO them, at their very dis

HE WON'T ANSWER.

1t will be recol;ected that large "Democra,c"
meeting was held short time ago i'm Dickinson
township, Cumberland county, Pa. at which a
Committee was appointed to address a letter to
Mr.. Polk, asking his opinions upon the grea,
question Of the Tariff, and a, the same lime IA
vowing, in series of resolutions. their decided
friendliness to the Protective system.
We now learn from the Gettysburg Sentinel
that the meeting re-assembled, pursuant to ad-
journment, on the 3lst ult. to hear the report of
the Committee appointed to address Mr.. Polk !;
when 10, and behold, all they had to say was, that
MIR. Polk had not cOndescended to reply to their
letter! The meeting then adopted several spirit
ed resolutions denuncia,ory of Mr.. Polk, without
dissenting voice. ''lt is said (remarks the Sem
tine, that this circumstances has already effected
great change in that township, and is con,nu-
ing to do so.-They are friends of the Tariff !;
and they now find that Mr. Polk is not to be de-
pended upon in that important particular"
Since the above was in type, we have received
the proceedings of the meeting referred ,o.-The
questions propounded to Mr.. Polk were the fol-
lowing:
LIST. Are you in favor Of the Tariff act of 1921
end. Would you, if elected, support that ac,
as it is, without modification, or would YOU be in
favor of modifying ii.
! Tho Committee reported that FIVE weeks had
then elapsed since they had addressed those in
quiries TO Mr.. Polk, and that no reply had beer
| received.
Whereupon the meeting adopted unanimousl,
preamble and resolutions declaratory of its sen
timen,s on the subject-The following are tn,
resolutions:
Resolved, That we cannot support the election
OF James n. Polk to the Presidency of the Uni
ted States, because he is opposed TO tariff o
protection.
Resolved, That we feel the most earnest desir,
and anxious wish TO preserve the purity of I'll,
democratic party; and that most firml,
convinced, that designing men have now PLACED
the party in that false position of giving supper
TO a man who is hostile to their principles ant
their interests.
Resolved, That we call earnestly and anxiousl,
upon the Democratic party of Pennsylvania, in
dividually and collectively, to look seriously a
the attitude in which they are placed, and view
the elements of destruction which now threaten
to PROSTATE them as party, and to sacrifice tht
interests of the country.

TAX ON TEA AND COFFEE

The Wing papers are making some noise about
vote of Col. Polk for taxing Tea and Coffee
These Editors are not aware, that Henry Clay
did the same thing exactly, or they surely would
not condemn Col. Polk.-Leringfon Star.
Perfectly aware, Mr.. Star.-Mr. Clay went
for tax on Tea and Coffee in 1911, from neces-
sity, to provide means TO keep the wheels of 60
vernment from stopping; but Mr.. Polk for
taxing these articles when by his own confession
the government did not need more revenue, hav-
ing an excess al the time Of six millions!

Clearspring, August 81, 1914.

A number OF our worthy honest Germans, be-
ing convinced of the ruinous tendency of the Lo-
coioco measures and the falseness and hypocrisy
OF the professions of the Locofoco leaders, have,
within few days past, "come out from the
party enrolled themselves among the friends of
Clay and Frelinghuysen and the country. Not
The least agreeable among the incidents connect
ed with the Fulton meeting Friday night last,
was the display of Wing flag from the large
steam mill IN that village, the proprietors of
which, until the day before, were regarded as
strong opponents of Wing measures and Wing
men. We hail such accessions as those TO our
ranks-every attempt has been made by our OPP
ponents to excite the naturalized foreigners a.
galnst the Wing party; no falsehood or misrepre-
sentatloD has been too base for their use il likely
TO effect this object; effort has been left unted
and we have more cause Than ever to be proud of
our foreign population when we see such evil
dences as those afforded us within a few days
past that they are not 10 be led or deceived by de-
signing demagogues when the interests of their

have succeeded in no ordinary degree.
Those parents, who have patronzcd the Seminary.
have so far as we know, expressed universal
ton with the progress made by their daughters.
In The public examination also the young Ladies have
shown such an intimate acquaintance with their various
studies TO draw forth strong of approba
ton from the Trustees and audience
AZ various times committees of the Trustees have
tSnucd inc ordinary rccations that they might know
the mode Of instruction.
inc members OF the Prcsbytcry Of Lexington also, at
thcr last meeting spent several hours in private
mnation OF the School, and have heard nothing but
decided commentator.
The Rev Il. w. BAILEY, minister in the Prcsbytc-
rian Church, and his assistants Mrs. BAILEY and the
Misses BAILEY, had acquired reputation as skiu and
experienced Teachers before they to us and it is
but justice TO them TO say, that in Judgment, Teach

COL. BENTON AND HIS PARTY

1t seems that the great Missourian is about to
be read out of the Democratic church. cores
pendent of the St. Louis Reporter, writing from
the Nashville Convention, says that Gen. Jack
son conversed freely with his friends and did not
hesitate TO condemn the course of Mr.. Benton on
the Texas question. "He pronounced Col. Ben
ton wrong, and expressed astonishment at his
course; said Col. Benton was better informed
on the question than Mr.. Van Buren, was when
he wrote his letter; that he (Gen. J.) knew Col.
Benton was in possession of facts which should
have induced him to vote for the treaty. And the
venerable patriot also said he now feared that
Texas was forever lost, and if that should be the
result, every Senator who opposed the treaty
would be mathematical"
The same correspondent says-''I have con-
versed here with prominent Democrats from eve.
ny State represented at this gathering, and have
yet to meet the first one, not from Missouri, who
does not say that the Democracy of Missouri owe
1t to their own integrity, and to the Democratic
cause, to repudiate him, unless he returns at once
10 the Republican track. Almost the first uues-
ton put to me on being introduced TO stranger
as Missourian, is, evil Missouri re-elect Col.
Benton, notwithstanding his treason to the par.
ty !" The current Of indignation is deep and
strong against the Coils. tIeachery. His stabs
at the Democratic nominees, whilst protesting
to support them, are properly appreciated. He
can no longer deceive any one.'

SOMETHING FOR THE CHARLESTON MERCU
RY TO DIGEST

Silas Wright recently made speech at Ska
neateles, IN. W of which the substance is given
in the Columbian of that place. On the subjec,
of Texas he remarked:
SIT might be expected, he sad that he would
say something in reference TO the new issue now
before the Countrywide annexation of Texas
lie voted against the Treaty negotiated by Mr..
Iyler-ist, Because the assent of Mexico had
not been obtained, without which it would be a
violation of national obligations; 3D. because the
boundaries of Texas were not accurately defined
by the Treaty, but embraced large extent of ter
ritory belonging to Mexico; and Sd. because ii
,cas designed TO ertend and perpaiuate Slavery
ne would be true to our Constitutional obliga-
uons In respect to slavery as it is but to 60 far
theT was very different thing. Still in taking
the ground he aad, he did oppose Annexation
at proper time and in proper manner; and if
Great Britain should attempt to take possession
OF Texas, he would forcbly resist her encroach-
ments.'

NO CHANGES

We the undersigned having acted with the So
called Democratic party, for a number of years,
for the sake of having the names of Democrats,
were persuaded we were doing what was right
but having examined for ourselves, and finding
that the Wing party with Clay and Frelinghuy-
sen now at their head, are now and always have
been the advocates of the real Democratic creed
as handed down to us by Thos. Jefferson, we
therefore hereby renounce all claim to said party.
knowing that Henry Clay is the father of Pro-
lection 10 Home lndustry-we being Mechanics
know and feel the use Of Protection, against the
pauper labor of Europe-and by this we earnest
Iy request all of our brother Mechanics and La
boTerS, 10 pause and reflect before casting their
votes in this Important Election. 1t has been
and is now the creed of the so-called Democratic
party to array the poor against the rich. But
by investigation we have found that the Wings as
party are the poor mans friend, which the pre-.
sent Wing Tariff clearly proves, by protecting
home labor, we therefore say to all brother Me-
chancs and Laborers to examine ,uhat payfv is
