MORE DEMOCRATIC THUNDER FROM
PENNSYLVANIA

PENNSYLVANIA.
The Democratic Union printed at Harrisburg,
and it is the State poperJ notices four county meet
ings denounclng the British Tariff In Columbia
county, which gave Polk 1920 majority, the meet
ing boldly declared they would support no man for
President or Vice President of the United States or
for Congress, who is opposed to American manu-
factures and coal, or whose principles arc of a
doubtful character on this subject.
The Union also contains the annexed items:
"The Democratic Herald published at Butler,
Pa, contains most admirable article in favor of
the Tariff of 1912. The home thrusts given by the
Herald to the tme-seryng politicians of the South,
exhibit the true feeling which pervades the State
upon this momcntous question. Tho Herald closes
the article with the following admontion:
democrats of Pennsylvania, we have but one
course to pursue. When the time comes for the
selection of man 10 fill the Presidential chair, let
us choose one from the North who is known TO be- in
favor of the great interests of the country and who
will not preach up our political salvation paper,
and work out our eternal damnntlon in deeds We
have ever guarded against sectional party spirit
1t was the last advice of Washington to the people
of the United Stolcs but we are driven to it now
by reckless disregard, the part Of the South, OF
what is but justice to US. Fin the emergency evil
beias US, let her take the responsibility"
SPEAKS LIKE A ROMAN.
The Carlisle Volunteer holds the following bold
and manly language upon the tariff. These are
the sentiments of an independent press, and such
we take pleasure in placing them upon record:
awe are mortified to find that a few--a very
few-Democratic journals Of this State remain 81
! lent at this time in relation to the Tariff. What
are you afraid to speak? Afraid Of whom ard Of
what? Afraid to ayow yourselves in favor of a
just Tariff, as you did in the campaign of 1874
| Away with such conduct it confounds and NOR
titles right-thinking men. Do not, we bcseech you
place yourselves upon an equality with your pollti
cal adversaries, in protesting one thing and dong
another. Let there be no neutrals now-let US al
express our sentiments fcaressly and above-board
" regardless Of denunciation from any quarter"
Here are examples for the Vermont Patriot -
these men write no seven column articles to deien(
a measure the details of which not one single Sen
ator dared attempt TO defend. That labor they es
cape, and feel like honest and consistent men t
