The Democrats better Tariff
Wen than the opPOsiGl0n. -

The Tariff Of 1916 was a Democratic meas
ure and was endorsed by the Democratic party
in every State OF the Union. Whilst IT was
in existence, the couatry enjoyed unbopnded
prosperity, and Therefore, the Democracy were
willing that it should continue unmolested.--
Not so the Aboirionists. As soon as they got
the control of the Lower House Of Congress
in which all revenue measures must originate,
they forthwith reduced the rates Of this Demo-
cratic Tariff. The Tariff 'chich re hare no,p
is Iower than til" Democratic Tcr7f Of 1916,
md 'oas made so by the rotfs Of .8boijfion Con
gressmen. Therefore, the Democrats are better
Tariff men than the Opposition. Let this be
borne in mind when the supporters Of FREE
TRADE READ attempt to palm themselves
upon the people as Tariff men.

HON. WILLIAM A. PORTER,

We last week published an able and excel
lent article, taken from one Of our sXchanyes
in reference 10 the sage OF the distinguished
gentleman whose nam heads this paragraph.
Unable, as yet, TO point out a single objection
to him as rega;dS his legal ability, or bis mi-
vate character, the opposition journals have
been forced to take the absurd and ridiculous
position That he is TOO ygUag to rntguN with
the important duties Of the judiciary. The old
fogyiSm of such al attack upon our uominpr.
insulting to the yuuug and active intrIlectS OF
this grrat commonwealth, has been PROPERLY
disposed Of by the arliclr we have alluded tn.
and We feel confident that ii will meet with a
more stern and decided Iehuke from the people
al the polls. Since the nomination OF Judge
PORTER BY the Democratic State Convention.
we have carefully looked over the ground, and
every day we see the strongest evidences OF
the wisdom OF that body IN placing him on the
Democratic ticket. There is no doubt in our
mind Of his being abe 10 poll as many Demo-
cratic votes, as any candidate that could have
been selected. His superior attainments, his
unbending integrity, and his amiable ard agree
able department, have secured TO him hosts of
friends throughout the State, who will braveIy
struggle for his success. The calm and digni-
fed manner in which he refused, after his an
pointment by Gov. Packer, to drag the Judi
ciaI ermine into the arena of politics, has won
the respect and confidence of all parties, and
gives the positive assurance that, in no event,
will be permit the purity of the Bench, so far
as he can prevent IT, 10 be soied by the thick
dust raised by scufiling partisans. In fact he
has already gained the ap9eiation of the "model
Judge" and the people of Pennsylvania will
attest their high appreciation Of his worth as
man, ana his character as a lawyer, by keeping
him in the lofty position which hr now 50 sig-
ualy adorns. His opponent, JonN NJ READ,
OF Philadelphia, is gentleman of considerable
ability. Until few years past he was an ac-
tive and bitter Democrat In consequence of
his abolition tendencits, he abandoned our ma
tional party when Black ReFublcanism sprung
into existence, and he has been rewarded for
has treason by being made the leader of the
very men TO whom he was personally antaeo-
nistic during long and earnest political lie.
He was unable to secure the delegates from his
own city, who were instructed for Judge Tomp
son; but being the favorte candidate Of Thad-
deus Stevens, this adroit aud cunning polisi-

THE DEFENDERS OF THE BANKS.

True 10 the policy of their party, the Aboli-
ton editors around the corner. are ready at all
times TO defend the Banks, those rotten institu-
tions which tumble down every few years and
drag with them ihe business and prosperity Of
the country. This is not strange, however, as
their snti-democraic doctrines are, of courss,
more favorable 10 the interests of ariStocratic
corporations than to those of the masses who
toll Tor their daily bread. And, then, too, they
need the AID OF the Banks 10 carry on their
electioneerlng and TO debauch weak members
ot,he Legislature when u. S.. Senators are to
bs elected. Therefore, they needs must stick
10 the Banks.

BANKS AND THE TARIFF.

We took occasion, some weeks since, 10 re-
mark that high Tariff would fall short of its
object, "because Of the excess of paper money
which gives 10 every thing, except gold and
silver, nominal value equal to double, or more
Of ITS real value, according 10 the initiation Of
the time; thus rendering the provision for pro-
lection against manufacturers, who sell only for
gold and silver, imperative and void" To this
the Abolition editors object, and, calculating that
there are other people as ignorant as themselves,
they make our remark the basis of an appeal 10
the prejudices-not TO the reason ofa certain
portion of the community. "Farmers," say
they, s'do you hear that? You have been
selling your wheat at dollar per busheI, and
less and you now given to understand that
this is nominal value, caused by paper money,
whilst the real value is only fifty cents per
bGshel or less' &c, &c.
Now, il rs well known that most of cur Banks
issue FIVE tunes as many dollars of paper money
IS they have specie in their vaults wherewih
10 redeem such paper issues. The very best of
them issue three times as much as the amount
Of their gold and silver. What, then, IS the
real value Of their notes! Is not one gold dol
lar really worth The same as the three dc liar
bill issued " the Bank which circulates three
dollars OF its paper for every dollar Of specie il
has 10 redeem its issues Most assuredly no
one will deny this. Well, then, if ousheI OF
wheat is sold for $lOO of this Banks paper.
does it not really sell for only 33A cents in spe-
Gle! Suppose that the farmer who sells bis
wheat at a dollar per bushe, takes his pay ia
the notes Of a Bank which issues three dollars
Of paper for every dollar OF its specie, and sup
pose that when this Bank is about collapsng be-
fore the pressure of its creditors, as many did
last Fall, be tries 10 have his notes redeemed al
its counter, what will be the result? How
much will be realize for his wheatl Why, in
the first place he will find the Bank-doors clo-
sed in his face and his paper, for The time being
worth just nothing at all. In the second place
should his Bank go into liquidation and pay a
pro rata to the note-holders, he will Just get
thirty three and third cents per dollar for hi,
Bank-notes, minus certain contingent expenses
attendant upon the collection of the same. This
would be selling wheat at fill price with a
vengeance
Would not our farmers, therefore, much pre-
fer 10 have currency on which they could re-
ly as firm and solid and representing a value
no less than that stamped upon II by the coiner's
diel Had we such currency, then wheat
would be- worth dollar when sold for dollar.
and Tariff determinations could be made with
some effect, in favor of our mineral and othA
interests bu:, SO long as we have The inflated
issues OF specializing Banks as the basis of our
business operations, the whole fabric of our
finance rests upon sandy foundation.

ONE OF THE ITEMS.

The Abolition clique Of this Borough, " hich
controls th~ Opposition to the Democratic par
ty in this county and parcels out the dirty work
for the township politicians, is trying to hum
bug the people, by charging extravaganza upon
the County Commissioners, herein initiating the
exploded tTickery of ce-tain unprrncipled Abo-
Itlon Congressman. tn connexion with their
ucubraionS on this subject, It would be well
enough for these Abolilonists to show wbv it
is that ever since the Opposition had ma iori-
ty in the Board of Commissioners, Bedford
County has been struggling under load OF
debt As their memory on this subject will,
doubtless, fail them, will give them an item
in the bill of expenditures incurred by thei!
board OF Commissioners, which, perhaps, will
enable them to trace out the causes of the entire

ence 10 the PRINTING OF ONE HUNDRED

Commissioners Office for ten wears, given 10

This IS bat one of the items in the bill Of the
County's Indebtedness. but it serves TO show
what party il is that recklessly squanders the
peoples money.
