DON'T FORGET THE ISSUE.

In the multitude of candidates, of
platform and OF parties this fall, it
becomes every true Republican to
keep his head level and the issues
squarely before him. There is an
issue of fact and an issue of senti-
ment to be decided by thepeople OF
this State at the coming election.
The issue OF fact is the question of a
protective tariff as against tariff

for free trade. The defeat OF the Re-
publicans in Pennsylvania this year
will not only be claimed as free
trade victory but it viii be one in
reality. 1t will render the Demo-

with the ST;umph of that party
comes the downfall of the protec-

THE Independent conspirators
against the Republican party got a
bad scare few days since when it
was published that the venerable
General Cameron had remarked in
private conversation that the lnde-
pendent movement originated with
the enemies of a protective tariff.
Straightway McClure's Times set up
a howl of wrath, the New York TIL
bgne stopped over in two or three
columns of twaddling gush, Whar-
ton Barker rushed into print re-
publication OF the Independent
platform and a declaration of his fl
deity TO protection, and there Was
CONSERVATION generally among the
small dogs who are barking at Cen
eral Beavers heels. II is highly
probable that General Cameran was
not correctly reported, and that he
remark was that the enemies OF pro-
lection were aiding the Independent
movement. and IN this opinion he
does not stand alone. The valiant
Independent leaders in this State
may not be opposed to protection iG
theory, but certain it is that the
Free Trade Democrats throughout
the country are oyeroyed at the
prospect of Republican defeat in
this. the strongest tariff State OF :he
Union, and that such outspokce

Finding Wreck Fifty Years Old.

PIrrsBURG, August 24.-For some
time past Captain d. Chaplin, mine
locator, of New Jersey, has been
cruising outside of Erie Harbor in
the nope of locating the wreck of the
schooner Vermilion, which, with $50
tons Oh copper, was sunk in a storm
nearly fifty years ago. To-day he
located the long-sought treasure by
the aid of a magnetic rod. The in
dicator was violently disturbed and
attested the immediate presence of
the metal. The wreck discovered is
in fifty feet OF water. An ingot
weighing fifty pounds has been
brought to surface, and a huge div
ing bell is to be placed over the spot,
and men are engaged to get up the
long-concealed treasure, worth over

AGooD many people are asking the
question why Candidate Stewart did
not or does not challenge Mr.. Patti
son to Joint discussion. He chal-
lenged Beaver, and it was given out
at the time that he intended to chal-
lenge Pattison but he has never
done it. To us the reason is quite
plain. Mr.. Stewart has no quarrel
with Mr.. Pattison. He wants him
to win. a joint discussion might
damage the young Marylander, and
that is Just what Stewart don't want.
If he could succeed in getting Bea-
yer TO stump the State with him and
intensity the hostility between the
two wings of the Republicans, he
and his Democratic bosses would
be supremely happy but a discus
sion with Pattison would spoil the
well laid plans OF the coalition. -
