THE FREE TRADERS

The people of Pennsylvania are nearly all
devoted to the doctrine of protection to
American industry. They knew that in
every case in which this protection has been
withdrawn, it has been under Democratic
ascendency in the White House and in Con
gress They know that the old rallying cry
of the Democracy, POLK, Dallas and the
Tariff Of AZ was a deception; for when
Polk and Dallas we're elected, the Tariff of
ID was repealed, and the destructive tariff
Of 1916 was adopted, Dallas himself giving
the casting vote in its favor as Viee-P Presi-
dent. The Free Traders are now renewing
their war upon protection with great yigor
and they arc boldly carrying the war into
Pennsylvania, with a candor that is centain-
ly more creditable than was the trickery of
1874 A Free trade meeting was held In
this city last week, at which an orator from
another State appeared, whose speech has
been very fally reported in the Democratic
local organ This report Is now going the
rounds Of the papers of the same party in
the interior Of the State, and it is quite evi
dent that the printing is paid for by the
funds Of the Free Trade League This
League has its headquarters in New York,
the rich importers being the chief members
These are mostly representatives, of British,
French aad German manufacturers, who
contribute largely to the funds ofthe League,
because by breaking down protection in this
country, they will be enabled to food this
country with their goods made by the cheap
labor Of Europe, aud to destroy all Ameri-
can manufactures. The people Of Pennsyl
vania must be on their guard, and not be
deceived By the specious fallacies of the
Free Traders, which, if they once prevail,
will bring widespread distress throughout
the State. The safe course to pursue is to
cling to the Republican party, which COM
prises all the earnest and efficient friends Of
protection in the State. -Phdadelpzia

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY TIRE
NATIONAL LIFE.

Itis 500 late to talk of the importance Of
Ainsuring ene's life for the benefit Of those
dependant apon him. What was, some
years age, accounted BY many scrupulous
and doubling ones as "a tempting Of Pro
vidence" has become the recognized duty,
as surely due to a man family as the daily
labor for bread clothes, and home. The
number of new insurance companies which
are yearly started upon their course prove
the extent Of the popular feeling in favor of
this beneicsnt provision. The two plans
upon which insurance is oferea-the stock
and the 3Iutusl-are industriously presented
by their respective adheTents, aud themerits
Of both fully discussed.
4 significant Indication Of the popular
choice Is found in the great success of the
National Life Insurance Company of
America, which began business in August
last, and has, since that time, been rapidly
extending its agencies throughout The coun-
tTy, as well as in the Dominion of Canada.
Upon the first Of May, only nine months
after its beginning work, the Company had
issued five thousand policies success IN
precedented in the history of insurance.
This is a purely stock company, for which
there is this to say that while it does not
always make as glowing promises to the in
sured as some Of the companies organized
upon the other plan, it faithfully fulflls
every letter of the plain business contract
which it makes with its customers. It has
low rates for a certain fixed return; there
are no possible uncertainties of notes or
dividends, and no complications or dis
appointments at the death Of the insured.
The simplicity Of the system, and the
certainty Of the position occupied, are recon-
mendations too strong TO be overlooked.
We have spoken Of the large business
already done by this Company. 1t has also
met with losses by death of the insured but
these losses have been of such a character
and SO promptly adjusted, that they have
strengthened the Company, where the
circumstances were known. Rev. Lembert
S. Fine, a clergyman of Troy, Bradford Co.,
Pa, paid Slo0.25 on December LIST, 1863.
for a $4,000 policy. He died March 5th,
1869, and on the lst of April the $1,000,
with no deduction for notes. was paid to his
family, this being the only provision which
the deceased had been able to make for
their future comfort Could any other
possible Investment Of one hundred dollars
on his part have proved SO judicious or
profitable? Another case was that Of Louis
Il. Piaget, Of Franklin, Pa, who insured
for 81 900. and died six weeks thereafter.
In this case the prompt payment Of the
$1,000 enabled the agent to effect 5000
more Of insurance upon the appreciative
ueighbors Of the deceased.
Based upon ample financial capital
$l,000,000 paid up-conducted upon strict
business principles, and managed by men Of
national reputation for honesty and sagacity,
this Company justly deserves the front rank
/ it has taken in the insurance corps. The
advertisement of the local agent for the
National Life viii be found in another

From Cuba.

Oficial Dispatches Estimated Force of the
Cuban Armg-A Far Statement Of the
Situation
WASHINGTON, May 13.-Latest official
dispatches received at the State Department
from the American Consul at Havana state
that it is almost impossible to arrive at a
correct estimate of the force under the Cuban
leaders. The Consul encloses a letter from a
prominent American merchant, residing In
the interior, who estimates the whole Cuban
army at from fifteen to twenty thousand
men.
This includes detached parties acting as
guerlllas, as well as regular forces. Another
letter enclosed by the Consul from another
American merchant states that the entire
effective force of the Cubans does not
amount to more than fourteen hundred men.
With regard to these two statements the
Consul writes, ''The truth probably lies be-
tween these two extremes
Il do not think the Cuban army amounts
to twenty-five thousand men, hut it Is GER
talnly more than fourteen hundred. In an
other part Of his despatch our Consul saws

TnE INDIANA CASE.


/. A majority in either branch Of the
Legislature Of Indiana is Republican.
, That majority decided and have voted
to ratiiy the XVIII Amendment to the Fed
eraI Constitution.
8. The Constitution of Indiana requires
the presence of two-thirds of the members
elected to either House to constitute aquor-
um for the transaction of business.
4, The Democratic minority Of the Senate,
seeing no other way to defeat the ratification,
with the exception Of two or three who repre-
sented doubtful districts. resigned, thus
breaking the quorum. Those who resigned
were reelected with little or no opposition.
s. The Legislature, which the resignation
had suddenly broken up, was now recon
stituted-the Democratic minority refusing
to come in till it had been stipulated by the
Republicans that the XVth Amendment
should not be acted on till a specified day,
before which all other business could be
finished. This engagement was kept
G. Now the Amendment was taken up
again, and the Democratic members, with
one or two exceptions in each branch, there
upon profFered designations, intending to
break the quorum,
Z In theSenate, the Democratic members
kept on voting until the Constitutional
Amendment came up, and acted as if they
had precisely the same rights as other mem
bers. The moment the Amendment was
reached they raised the point of order that
no quorum was present, nearly all of them
having resigned. The presiding officer ruled
that, as no official notice Of their resignation
had been received, and as they had continued
acting as members, he must treat them as
such. Their theory Of action was ike that
Of the hunter who aimed at the animal in
the distance so as to hit it if it was a deer
and to missit if it was a calf This ingenious
theory was not accepted, and the Amend
ment, on receiving the due majority, was
sent to the other branch.
s. In the House the Governor message.
announcing the resignation Of forty-two Of
its members, was received before the
Amendment came up. One Of the remain
ing Democrats raised the point Of order that
this left the body without a Constitutional
quorum The Speaker ruled that while,
under the State requirements, 81 members
were necessary for a quorum to do business,
this was a measure sent from Congress, con.
cerning the National Government, and that
nothing required more than a majority to
constitute a quorum for dealing with it
Appeal was taken, the Chair was sustained,
and then, 54members, (more than a majori-
y.) being present, the amendment was rati
fed
Hereupon,
Q. The proper officers will doubtless GER
tify, if they have not already certified, the
fact Of ratification, leaving Its validity to be
adjudged by the Federal Secretary Of State
or by Congress.
Such, stated suecinctly, are the facts in
the Indiana case.-Nelg York Tribune.

THE STATE sENAToRsHIP.

Our neighbor Of the Fulton Republican,
two weeks ago, INDUCED in certain threats,
altogether unbecoming and uncalled for, on
the Senatorial question. As to the buying
and selling heretofore practiced, if anything
of that kind was done in the last Senatorial
nomination, it was the Bedford county can
didate that was sold out. We then presen-
ted candidate for Senator, but in confer
enee the nomination was given to Somerset,
as also one member Of the House, and the
and the other member was given to Fulton,
leaving Bedford entirely out in the cold
As nearly as We can remember, Fulton
made no complaint at that time. We never
thought Of boiling or offering an indepen-
dent candidate then, nor do we think that
Fulton viii have any reasonable excuse for
anything of the kind now, if Bedford should
get the nomination. Let Fulton, ike Bed
ford and Somerset, present candidates for
both Senator and Member and then let the
conferences select the best and most ayaila-
bic men. This is the sensible way of set
ding the matter We have nominated a
frst-elass man for Senator, and unless Full
ton and Somerset present better men, Capt.
Mullin should have the nomination We
believe in nominating the best men wherev-
er found. 1t should be our first aim to get
the best men offered for any given position,
aud make the question of locality a seconda-
~ matter. We hope to see Fulton present
one of her best men for each place, and then
leave the conferences to complete the nomi-
nations by combining the best material Of
fered by the three counties and making Us
the best possible ticket therefrom.
