Congressman Scott, chairman OF
the Democratic campaign commit
tee. a blatant tree trader, and a lead
ing member of the coal ring, was
not always a free trade advocate.
Some eighteen years ago he was
largely interested in iron manu-
featuring in the Sbenango Valley,
Pennsylvania, and at that time
Joined in a circular letter TO the
Democratic members of Congress,
protesting against a tariff reduction
on iron. Here are some significant
extracts from it:
Should the alternative be pre-
sented to the manufacturer either
to suspend operations or reduce
the cost of manufacture by reduc-
ing wages to the European stand
ard Such mast he the effect OF
withdrawing protection. Is it not
better that our own resources be
developed, and DOR own people en-
ployed, than that we should be
dependent on foreign capital and
labor for the supply of our wants,
while our own remain undeveloped
and unproductive?
Experience teaches that the IN
terests of consumers are best pro-
noted by encouraging domestic
produtiOn for, whenever the man
ufacturlng business Of this country
has been Frustrated, as 1t has sew
eral times been, by uniriendly legis-
lation, or from other adverse causes,
the foreign manufacturer invarl-
ably takes advantage OF the situa-
tion to inspire higher prices and
reap a rich harvest at the expense
of our country, until our manutac
turers are again encouraged to re-
sumo operations.
We should regret to see the
Democratic party take false posi-
ton on this great American qnes-
ton by advocating policy hostile
to American industry.
Well the Democratic party has
taken that false position, and Mr.
Scott, is one of its strongest sup
porters. Why this change of views
| Simply because Mr.. Scott, not find
ing iron manufacturing sremuner
alive as he wished, went int
coal mining, and also made large
investments in Canadian iror
mines. He owns there immense
ore beds that would be enormously
valuable by a reduction of the duty
on iron ore. Hence he has changed
his position on the tariff.

Hurley, the Desperate.

The Governor offers reward of
one hundred dollars for the arrest
of James II. Hurley, who was con.
victed in the County Court OF
Buchanan in September, 1887, OF
voluntary manslaughter, sentenced
to three years IN the penitentiary,
and made his escape from the
sheriff while on the way to prison.
Since which time Hurley has
gathered around him a band oil
desperadoes and defes the officers
OF the law. He is located near the
State lines of West Virginia and
Kentucky, and Judge Jones, of the
County Court of Buchanan, says it
is not safe for any one to go through
that section unless he is known by
Hurley and his gang.

The revolt in West Virginia
against Cleveland and free trade is
growing rapidly, and the Demo
Gratis are beginning to be alarmed
for the State next November. In
Wheeling especially is the feeling
against the Democratic platform
strong. The "dop" Of w. l.. llearn
and his four sons was sad blow,
because Messrs. Hearn, next to ex-
Senator Camden, we're the largest
contributors to the Democratic cam
paign fund. Now Mr.. David Il.
Brooks, the Democratic leader IN
Ohio county, West Virginia, has
announced that he is for Harrl0n
and Morton, the Democrats are be-
wildered and stunned by the News.
Mr.. Brooks is n well known con
tractor, and employs many men.
He is a protectonist. Following
MIR. Brooks example comes ). a.
McCourtney, another leading man
ufacturer, who cannot stand free
trade, and, hence says he will vote
for Harrison and Morton. Philip
Henry Moore, an eXConiederate
soldier and editor of the ono VAT
len Manufacturer, is also ont for
Harrison and Morton.
Among the workmen in one pot
tery in Wheeling, where in 1884
out of 50 votes Cleveland received
CO, to-day every one are members
of the Potters' Protective farm
Club, which has declared for Har'
rlson ard Morton.
William Cassell, OF Wheeling a
lieutenant of the Young Mems
Democratic Marching Club OF that
city, has resigned and will vote for
Harrison and Morton.

Where Depew Was Weak.

On the trip OF the Connecticut

Depew could carry Connecticut.

The Indian school at Pierre will
soon become fixed fact. The govern
ment has already an appropriation of
$4,000 to begin the buildings, and it
is thought that 100000 will be set
aside in the near future. The plan is
to establish at Pierre an industrial
school for the entire Sioux nation.
Instead of sending the children east to
be educated, it has been thought best
to keep them near their own people
and in the same climate to which they
have become accustomed. The wisdom
of this course is not to be questioned

Asking For Aid

In February, 1885, President Arthur
issued proclamation declaring the
Grow Creek and WinnebagD reserva-
tions open to settlement. 4 large
number of people immediately came in
and took up land. After Cleveland's
inauguration he withdrew the lands
from the market and ordered all the
settlers of, but large numbers are still
living on the lands and are now cirru-
lating petition reciting the facts, and
concluding:
Owing to the present title Of the
land we reside upon, we cannot have
schools and other advantages which
we highly prize. We pray the presi-
dent of the United States. or congress
in the coming session, to open these
lands for settlement for actual settlers,
that our needs may be supplied by Sc
curing titles to our homes and schools
for our children, as we are upon lands
wholly unoccupied and not in any way
used by the Indians.
