WHO arc the room MANS FRIENDS,

he tariff bill now pending in Congress-
prepared by the Republican Committee of
Ways and Means, propose to reduce the
duties on tea and coffee, making a reduction
Of 500, 900, goo in the revenue. The cheap
cning Of tea and coffee bv the reduction
would make a saving Of dollar and half
to every man, woman aud child IN the Uni
ted States These are articles used and
nccessaries IN every family, and one would
suppose that such a reduction wonld receive
the hearty support Of the party that vaupts
itself as the Poor Mans Friend, as the
Democratic party does What is the fact I?
Why With all its hypocritical cant about
friendship for the poor man, every member
OF that party in Congress Observation-Disclosures
this reduction il behalf of the poor. The
same bill proposes to levy a duty of seven
dollars per ton on foreign pig iron import
ed and proportionately higher duties on
more advanced manufactures Of iron and
steel. Now the greatest consumers of iron
10 this country are the railroad lnonopolists
and 1t Is those rich, oyergrown corporations
that clamor most loudly for cheap iron from
abroad, and these same Democratic free
traders are found clamoring for reduction
OF the duty on iron so as to benefit the al
ready rich and tyrannica monopolies. They
know that a high duty on iron encourages
the manufacture here, gives an abundance
OF remuneratiye employment to our Iaboring
population and makes them prosperous and
happy but they care not for the laborine
poor, the Democratic party must court the
favor OF the rich and powerful, aud the POOR
may take care Of themselves. Such Is the
friendship Of the Democracy for the poor
How different the conduct of the Repub
hcan party. 1t advocates the reduction Of
duties on the neeeSsaries of life and sueb
things as reach the houses Of the poorest Of
the land. 1t supports the policy that aims
TO build up manufactures cf every kind in
our own land, makes markets for our farm
ers and gardeners and gives an abundance
OF we'll paid work to all who are willing to
labor. Such Is and ever has been the re-
cord OF true Republicanism. 1t cares for
tne best interests Of our own people. It
protects the poor and weak against the rich
and strong, and aims to make all prosner.
GUS and happy by protecting our industries
against the pauper labor of Europe.

of iron ore.
The pre-. ar rfangement evident in the topog
raphy OF the Region for the concentration
Of the iron ores, fuel aud hux, on the neut
raj line of gravity, along the Railroad and
river base, is truly remarkable, for the belt
of the iron ore and the Coal Field are
notched at short intervals, by the valleys
aud streams, transversely to their length, so
that locations are opened for grayitating
the iron ores aud fuel TO the furnace sites
along the Railroad and river
Nor is this new aud wide field Of produc-

Of doubt, for sufficient practical work has
been done 10 il to settle definitely and con

proved to be of excellent quality, and the
fact exhibited that a superior pig iron can
be made in this region somewhat cheaper
than any other locality in the State.
The outlying and detached position of the
Broad Top Coal Field, have frequently led
inquiring minds to investigate the design of
its isolated POSTURE standing among and
surrounded by the bold and frequent fex-

TIE DIAMoND.WATT CASE; HOW
DEMOCRATIC SENATOR'S ARE
ELECTED.

Ia the investigation Of this case, Robert
b. Long, a ship carpenter by trade, and
working at this time for well known and
highly respectable ship builders in the city
of Baltimore, testified that be came in the
same train on the night before the last 0c-
tober election with some ifty FIVE or sixty
men, whom he knew to be Marylanders, to
Philadelphia. That after their arrivel in
that city they were taken by some Phila-
delphia ward politicians to Nolau's tavern
at Eighth and SAMSON streets, where they
were entertained, and that many of them
voted the DEMOCRATIC TICKET more than
once, at various precincts in the 4th ward.
That these men we're promised $40 apiece
and their expenses. Some Of them received
the money, but others did not. This party
was divided into gangs of eight to ten-that
some one would approach the party when
ever they came near an election poll, hand
them a slip of paper containing the names
and residences of those whom they should
personate and also ticket; after which they
would walk up to the poll window and hand
the ticket in without being challenged
The party was in this manner marched to
various polls in the Fourth ward, and re-
peated the same operation early and oftea.
Such are the devices resorted to by the
Democracy to carry elections. No wonder
they opposed the Registry law so fercely.
Fair, honest elections find no favor in the
eyes Of Democratic leaders. When the
people repudiate them for their dis
honesty and treason, they hope by fraud
and crime to still force themselves into
power and prey upon the people.
