Mr.. YaraleI,s Blunder.


One Of the humors of the campaign
which serves to tighten the weight Of
discussion OF economic affairs has just
been reported from Washington. Hon.
Robert NJ. Yardley represents the Bucks
Montgomery district, and is the sternest
kind OF q Republican. lie recently con-
oeived the notion that 1t would be great
scheme to send his constituents ten thou
saud copies of Major McKinley's speech
IN Congress on the tariff. This he thought
would DO most excellent plan Of fixing
upon his constituents the belief in the
doctrine that free whisky is better for the
people than reduction in taxes upon the
necossaries Of life.
But Mr.. Yardley seems not to have
been an unequivooal penman. His CHI
rogrsphy has not the clearness Of the
Epencerian model, and when his order
came for ten thousand copies Of McKin.
ley's speech, 1t was interpreted as mean
Ing that number Of speeches Of Mr.. Ben
ton McMillen, the fiery Democratic tariff
roformer OF Tennessee. SO Mr.. Yard
ley's constituents were treated to a sound
lecture upon the evils Of unnecessary
taxation and the necessity Of tariff reform
Instead of the Mckinley speech. While
the mistake is rather unpleasant for Mr..
Yardley, II, will be good thing for Mr.
Yarileys constituents, who thus secure
IN opportunity Of reading some excellent
Democratic doctrine

Tho Tariff and the Iron Market.

The Allentown Democrat sagely an
swers the Macungie Progress, which In
recently announcing that the furnace at
the latter place had blown out, said "It
cannot be denied that the tariff tinker
ings unsettled the iron market, and 1t
now bears fruit, foreign iron being made
In large shipments at the loss Of our own
people. The Democrat gives history of
this company, recalling the disastrous
failure 1t made some years ago, involving
the whole neighborhood in financial dis
tress. This was under Republican ad-
ministration, aud when tariff tinkeriDg
was crime not to be mentioned. The
workingmen Of Macungie and vicinity,
wa0 have been engaged in iron produc-
Zion at the extravagant wages Of 90, 20
and 90 cents day, can no longer be de.
luded with the cry that tariff reform un
settles business TO their hurt. Tariff re-
form means the workingman's salvation.
II means steady prices for labor, which
will be 80 plentiful that the working man
will be enabled to sell his hire to the
highest advantage.

THOUGH 26l new men have been added

undor the eight-hour law, there Is not hap
piness among the messengers OF Uncle
Sans mail. Technically they are given
only eight hours work, but the time is 30

from homo twelve hours. The postmen
think that they should be given eight hours
consecutive labor and then be allowed to go

up so that they work four hours at one
