with those countries which have the advan-
tage of free raw material. We know that
confined to home market our manufacture
ing operations are curtailed, their demand
labor irregular and the rates of wages paid
We propose, therefore, to stimulate our do
mestic, industrial enterprises by freeing from
duty the imported raw materials, which by the
employment Of labor, are used in our home
manufactures. thus extending the markets
for their sale and permitting an increased
and steady production with the allowance of
abundant profits.
The platform adopted by the late national
convention OF our party contains the follow
ing declaration:
Judged by Democratic principles the interests
of the people are betrayed when, by unnecessary
taxation, trusts and combinations are permitted
and fostered, which, while unduly enrching the
lew that combine. rob the body of our citizens by
depriying them, as purchasers, by the benefits Of
natural competition"
Such combinations have always been con-
demned by the Democratic perty. The dec
laratlon OF its national convention is sincere
ly made, and no member of our party will De
found excusing the existence or be-
littleing the pernicfous results of
these devices to wrong the people
under various names they have been punish
ed by the common law for hundreds of years,
and they lose none of their hateful features
because they have assumed the names of
trusts instead of conspiracies. We believe
that these trusts are the natural offspring of
market artifcially contracted; that an in
ordinately high tariff, besides furnishing the
temptation for their existence, enlarges the
limit within which they may operate against
the people and thus increase the extent of
their power for wrong doing
With an implacable hatred of all such
schemes, we count the checking of these bale
ful operations among the good results prom
ised by revenue reform.
With firm faith in the intelligence and pa
triotlsm of our countrymen, and relying on
the conviction that misrepresentation will
not influence them, prejudice will not cloud
their understanding, and that menace will
people interest and public duty for the vim
dication of our attempt to inaugurate a
righteous and benefcent tariff reform.

When sitting on the grass we see
A little four-leaved clover,
'Tis luck for me and luck for thee.
Or luck for any lover.


1t Is believed in the Tyrol that if any one
has "a turn" for magic he can acquire the art
OF working wonders easily enough if he only
searches for and finds the four -leaved clover
ON st. Johns Eve. In the Passierthal the
peasants believe that if traveller should at
this time fall asleep, lying on his back, by a
certain brook, there will come flying white
dove bearing fOur-leaved clover, which it
lets fall on the sleeper's breast. Should he
awake before 1t fades, and at once put il into
his mouth, he will acquire the power of be-.
coming invisible at will.
A stranger superstition in VOLTS "Zeit.
chrilt fur Deutsche Hydrologic" is to the ef-
feet that If, while priestlis reading the sery.
Ice, any one can, unknown to him Law a
four-leaved clover on his mass book, the un-
fortunate clergyman will not be able to utter
word. He will stand stock still and he
wlldered until the person who has played the
trick pulls his robe Then he can proceed.
When all is over the man who regains his
''four leaf will always have luck at ali
kinds of gambling. If he has a tendency to
tenplns in America, or to ninepins if it be in
Germany. he makes "ten strike" or ale
nel1le, every time he roofs a ball.
1t would seem by this that though the
trJoltuh1 is religious symbol, the four-leaf
smacks of a darker influence. If the bearer
or wearer Of a four-leaved clover should
come across witch work 0r any uncanny per-
formance he can detect and spoil it ali un-
harmed
If man loves woman Tor vice versa and
can obtain two four-leaved clovers and in
duce her TO eat one while he himself swal-
lows the other, mutual love is sure to result
Nay. according to very good gypsy authority,
even trin-patrini-kas, or three-leaved cloy-
er. will have this effect. Moreover, it is ad-
visable on all occasions when you make a
gift to anybody, no matter what it is to con-
ceal In It a clover, since it will render the
gift doubly acceptable.
Also, take four or e-leaved clover,
and, making hollow in the end or top Of
your alpenstock or cane, put the leaf therein
taking care not to injure it. and close the
opening open carefully Then so long as you walk
with lt you will be less weary than If it were
wanting and win enjoy luck in many ways.
az, A German proyerb says of lucky man,
Er nat R eln vierblattriges Kleeblatt gefun-
den lie has found a four-leaved clover"
On this test DR.. Wilhelm Korte, in his
sSprlchworter der Deutschen, p breaches the
pid superstition Did yon ever know wa a
man who was gGnz u,d gar, utterly and en-
tirely, devoid of superstition? For if Won
did, be sure there was nothing in him. ~

WASHINGTON, Sept. S.-The President has
completed his letter of acceptance, address

Collins. The President says:
In addressing to you my formal acceptance
of the nomination to the Presidency of the
United States, my thoughts persistently
dwell upon the impressive relation of such
action to the American people, whose conf

not afford a spectacle more sublime than is
furnished when millions of free and lntelli-

to their will. 1t follows that candidate for
this high office can never forget that
when the turmoil and the strife which
attend the selection of its incumbent shall be

Last Friday afternoon as the b. & s.
engine was switching cars up the switch
back of lrondale furnace, Mrs. Amos Wan
ich and her daughter drove along the road
just above the track with horse and buck
board. When the horse was only short
distance from the engine it wheeled around,
throwing Mrs. Wanich out into the road.
The horse and wagon went off the road
down over the track but Miss Wanich fell
right in front of the engine, and all the
train hands who saw 1t expected nothing
but that she would be run oyer and killed.
In some way she drew her body off the
track and the wheels OF the locomotive
crushed two of her toes. She arose and
walked up into the road, and wagon com.
ing along took her to the house of A. 2.
Hover, when she received medical treat
ment. The harness and wagon were ruin
ed, but the horse was unhurt. Miss Wan
ich's escape from instant death was miracu-
lous. We understand no blame is cast on
the railroad hands.

Pratt's vindication.
TBR FALSELY ACCUSED oIRRK wrTHDRAws HIS
SUIT AGAINST THR RxPRRss COMPANY,
AND GoRs BACK.

Rathmel Pratt, the clerk in the Adams
Express Company's Office who two years
ago was accused Of stealing $4,000, and
was arrested and put in jail, where every
possible means was used to extort a con-
fession from him, has been made the con-
fidential agent of the Express Company at
Sixteenth and Market streets, says the
Philadelphia Record,
"Mr. Pratt could have got small for
tune 10 damages against the Express Com
pany," said A. s. l.. Shields, his counsel,
"but he preferred TO have his reputation
vindcated in the best possible manner, and
has returned to the Adams Express Com.
pany at its request. He occupies practi-
cally the same position that he held before
the robbery, of which he was accused"
The company has fully compensated Mr.
Pratt for his loss of time and money, and
has given him the best possible vindication.
Mr.. Pratt was;busy in filling out receipts
at Sixteenth and Market streets when he
was seen.

ing to say about the matter except TO de-
clare that have no reason to complain as
things have turned out. OF course, a cloud
would have hung over my life il Huber
had not been found out, but as the thing
now stands am fully satisfied"
The theft of the money made big SEN
sation at the time. On August 10, 1886,
500 900 was drawn from the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company TO be sent by Adams
Express to Shamokin TO pay the employees
OF the Mineral Mining Company. Pratt,
who was a clerk, sealed the safe which
was supposed to contain the cash. On the
same day he sent a safe which was not
| sealed to Sunbury. Subsequent develop.
ments have shown that by some mistake
the 500, 900 was placed in the Sunbury
safe and was stolen by A. Huber, the
Adams Express agent there. When the
facts came out Pratt was completely vindi.
Gated, and began suit for damages against
the company. He has now abandoned his
suit the matter having been satisfactorily
arrang ged by his employment in a position
of trust by the company at an increased
salary. At one time the company's agents
sought to extort a confession from Mr.
Pratt by system of solitary confinement
He protested all along that he was limo
cent, and his friends think that the recen
developments have convicted the Adam
Express Company of a flagrant injustice.
