THE TWO BILLS.

The Mills bill reduces the average
duty to 42.6S per cent. The Repub-
lican Senate bill reduces the average
to 1928 per cent.
If tariff reduction means free
trade the Republican measure is
therefore 0.45 per cent. more of a
free-trade bill than the Democratic
measure. y
The Mills bill revises but eleven
of the fourteen schedules. The Sem
ate bill revises them all. If tariff re-
vision is "lirst step toward free
trade" the Republican measure,
therefore, takes three steps more
than the Democrat.
The Mills bill extends the free
list. So does the Senate bill, and
by nearly the same number of arti-
cles. If one is free trade for this
reason, so is the other.
The Mills bill would cut off about
s75,0O0,000, of the surplus. The
Senate bill cuts off s72,000,000. If
there is mo surplus" how dare the
Republicans propose this?-New
York World.

OK Saturday evening last Hon.
Charles II. Treat, candidate for Con-
gress, on the Republican ticket, and
ian apt pupil of James G. Blaine"
as Farmer Murphey put it, made a
speech.
AS a political speaker Mr.. Treat is
not a success. He talked the wool
question, but got entangled and
dropped it. Then free trade was
taken up, but a failure was made in
attempting to show thatsheep-raisers
would be ruined if wool was free.
Then in oratorical words and gesture
stated that business was in a state of
paralysis and the mills in state of
uncertainty, and business generally
paralized. OF course every man
who keeps posted on the affairs of
the country, can judge for them
selves on these questions.
He believed that the millions in
the treasury was stored up to de-
feat protection. Whoever heard of
such thing?
The whole speech was for Charles
H. Treat for Congress, my store and
my factories"
The way he paid his employees
was, shat 25 per cent. oftheir wages
paid in cash, an order for the
balance was given on my store, and
if they (the employees wanted
something the store didn't keep, my
clerks are instructed to buy the
order at a reduction of 20 per cent
How is this for a protectionist =?
does this "pluck-me-store" sell goods
cheaper than other stores? And il
one of Mr.. Treats workmen wants q
little more cash than 25 per cent
don't he get ii at a lost of 20 pei
cent. ?
Mr.. Treat would have had more
votes if he had never come to New
ark.
r. G. THAcKERY OF Elkton made q
speech here on Saturday evening
before the Republican club. Mr.
Thackery acknowledged that re-
ductiOn of the tariff was needed, but
the wrong party was trying to do it
The speech was rather inconsistent
and failed to impress the beauty o
protection upon the audience.

success of their undertaking. The
exhibition was largely patronized,
Notwithstanding the fact that cold
winds attended by rain chilled one
to the bone. The meeting next fall
should be held sooner,--say about
the middle of September Then,
they would be favored with pleas

gathering together of thousands of
people. However, the Fair just
closed was first class in many ways.
THE Mud Run railway horror at
Mauch Chunk, Pa, conclusively
shows that proper signals were not
used, and, further, that hllfa hun
bred or more lives were sacrificed
because the engineer of each train
misunderstood or disregarded orders.
Such calamities will or do occur Just
because there exists lack of careful
ness on the part of both telegraphs
operatives and engine drivers. Nor
are conductors free from all blame.
If such caution were maintained as
on the Pennsylvania r lilrold, then
accidents would seldom if ever oc-
cur.
We DON'T want to startle any one,
but we would quietly hint to those
who owe us small amounts, to please
help us just now. The request is an
urgent one, and is made from actual
necessity made necessary from the
fact that we failed to realize on two
