TO BUSINESS MEN

We would still call their attention to the
fact that the labor required in furnishing this
sheet, daily, to the citizens must be sustained
/, by advertisers, if the publisher is to be saved
from loss. We can hardly believe that business
men, on the ground Of interest, when they
have considered the subject. will be willing 10
let such paper as the Fountain stop for want
of support
We advertise for 33 per cent upon an aver
age, less than other papers in the city; we sell
our paper, which is more than half the size Of
the other dailys, at less than one-third Of their
price, and we have large circulation. We
are unshackled by party politics, or sectarian
notions. We advocate morality. We hold
our principles firm; yet we argue respectfully
to maintain them without injury to any.
We have thus been plain in our solicitations
for advertisers TO sustain US, because we wish
them to rally now Many are coming up to
our help, but still there must be more-there
may-,here ought to be more.

From the Baltimore american.
Pennsylvania ana the Tariff.

Ii is possible that the fate Of the anti
protective Tariff bill. now before the Sen :
ate, may depend upon the casting vote of
Mr.. Vice President DALLAS. In that
case the State of Pennsylvania, which went
for "Polk, Dallas and the Tariff Of 1915"
may behold her favoritc policy prostrated
by the man whom she aided to place in
the Presidential chair of the Senate
man who is native Of her soil, and
whose domination to the high office
which he fills was made in compliment
to Pennsylvania, or to mislead her.
If the suffering in which Pennsylvania
is to be involved by the overthrow Of
protection should fall upon those alone
whose votes in that State contributed to
bring the enemies Of protection into pow
er, impartial justice would say-"Let
them suffer; they have deserved it," For
it was with full knowledge of the decep-
ton they were playing that they entered
upon the game of deceit.
The following extract from Mr.. WEE
sTER's speech in Philadelphia, in October
1914, revives now in more than the
original force which accompanied its de-
livery:
Gentlemen, although there are two
great parties in the country, with distinct
and opposing candidates for high office,
and avowing and maintaining in general,
different end opposing principles and
opinions. yet, in this great Common
wealth Of Pennsylvania, there is seme-
thing quite peculiar in the pretensions
and conduct of one Of these parties. in re-
gard to the principles which it claims for
itself, or assigns TO its candidates. pray
permission, gentlemen, to invite your at
tention to this popularity. A singular
stratagem seems to be attempted; the put
ting on of a new face, the speaking with a
new voice, and the assumption of quite a
new department and behavior. This is
worthy of close observation and ragard
Generally speaking, the two parties
throughout the whole country, are dlvl-
ded and opposed, upon one great leading
question of the times. | mean the suo-
iect OF Protection, as it is called.

employments amoog ourselves. Our OPP
ponents repudiatc this policy, and en-
brace the doctrines oFfree trade. This is

The Power of the Magnetic

WASHINGTON, June 8, 1916.
A dramatic scene, such, | venture to
say, as never had its parallel on this earth
occurred on Saturday evening last, 9th
inst, and was the legitimate offspring of
that strange invention to which the pub
lie attention is at this time so universally
attracted. Professor Morse, The inventor
and superintendent Of the Magnetic Tele-
graph, and his assistant, Mr.. Vail, in their
office at Washington, wished 10 test the
in tegrity of the telegraph line the whole

bleeding sacrifices OF Jugenaut and the
trembling victims of cannibalism! On the
banks Of the Ganges, behold UomaR,
designed TO be the ornament OF creation,
the slave of barbarism, and forgetiul OF
maternal ties, the murderess of her of
spring. Then remember fellow citizens
that you have been reared amid the
"Hght''of the Bible, ,& under the influence
of that republicanism, which is its neces-
sary concomitant.
go step fartherIand maintain, that
just in proportion as the sacred volume
is appreciated, read and properly UNDER
stood; will be the degree Of liberty enjoy
cd by any people. In our United States,
under the enlightened influence OF reli-
gious toleration, Sunday Schools and all
the other institutions of christianity, have
rapidly multiplied. and where is there a
country under the broad face of the heav-
ems, where people are more secure in their
persons, property and character, and
where there is a greater amount Of ration
al liberty?
For negative Illustration of this prin-
ciple, look for one moment at, Italy, Spain,
Portugal, Austria, Mexico and the South
American States, where the bible, though
acknowledged, is nevertheless sealed
book: for beyond all contradiction the peo-
pie, that is the democracy ,are forbidden to
read it.
As our country is now at war with
Mexico, our attention is particularly dI-
rected TO that quarter; and it is to be
hoped that the struggle may result in
placing the bible in the hands of that
priest ridden people. With the sacred
volume, appreciated, read, understood and
obeyed, the Mexicans may, yetrise supe-
rior to all adversely, and call the An
glo Saxon race their greatest benefactors.
Since then, the Bible is the light of the
world, and the true source of liberty, both
civil and religious, let me urge upon all in
this assembly, and especially upon all
who are connected with Sabbath Schools,
the importance and necessity of loving
and cherishing it. Be deeply concerned
about instilling its saIutary principles in
to the minds of the rising generation, for
they are the hope of our country. Let them
value the bible, and the American Repub-
lie will be furnished with safe guard a.
gainst demagogues, traitors and foreign en-
emies, more efectual than bayonets or
Paixan guns.

I launched bark on Fate's deep tide
A frail and nuttering toy,
But freighted with thousand dreams
OF beauty and of JOY.
Ah me /! il found no friend in them

Though Love enraptured took the helm
And Hope unfurled the sail
And you, who should its pilot be
To whom in fear it flies
Forsake it. on a treacherous sea,
To seek a prouder prize.
Alas for Love bewildered child!
