Silence is Confession.

We notice that Quay deigned a few
days ago to make some reply to charges
in New York paper to the effect that
he had been bribed by certain linen i'm
porters in New York to influence the
shaping of the Tariff bill in their inter-
est. This shows that Quay can open his
mouth. But why does he not open it
when he is charged daily and circum-
stantally by the most powerful news
papers in the United States with scandal
GUS ofrenses and when they taunt him to
come forward and silence them if he
dares? The fact is that the charges con-
cerning the linen importers of New York
were really false so far as Quay was al
legged to be implicated and it was there
fore easy for him to step to the front and
make virtuous and indignant denial
But in the far more important matter
of his alleged embezzeling from the State
Treasury he has not the courage to NEE
his accusers face to face, and he lacks the
courage simply because he has no case o.
his own. His only refuge is silence, ant
silence is confessional Count!

Thousands Killed by Republican Policy

Physicians and all authorities on the
subject of health are unanimous in as
serting that good woolen clothes and
underwear are absolutely essential to the
preservation of health. This is so self
evidently true that no one can deny it;
yet in the face of this universally
accepted truth Mckinley and his fol-
lowers not only insist on retaining
the present death-dealing tax but
would almost double it.
People were Mortified at the awful
death-roll at ohnstown-something over
1000 human beings-but if the countless
thousands of those who suffer sickness,
resulting in lingering disease and uti-
mate death, every year from want of
proper clothing-a want caused mainly
by this brutal tax-could be enumerated
the loss at Johnstown would seem insig-
nifcant.
Local, State and Federal Govern
ments have Boards of Health and
quarantines to guard the public health
and yet the Mckinley bill main
tains and proposes to increase a
tax which would cause more misery
and death than all preventive meas
ures combined could avert. This is not
idle fancy, but fact.
Defenders of this horrible blood tax
say that If sufficient protection should be
given to American sheep farmers they
would be enabled to raise enough WOO
to supply the whole nation. Thai
may, Or may not, be true; but grant that
, IL is true, what then? Why simply this
II the protection should be sufficient
the price of wool would advance to suct
a figure that the profits of sheep farmin,
would be enough to cause so many me,
to engage in it that we would raise all tn

| The proposition to erect monument to
Philip Ginder, who discovered anthra-
cite coal on Summit Hill, Carbon county,
in 1871, has given rise to a number of
claims for the honor of discovering coal
in Pennsylvania. The Wyoming Valley
people claim that anthracite was known
in that section of the State as early as
1856. There is a tradition that hard coal
was burned in the Valley Forge about
the time of the French and Indian War.
Nevertheless, the Mauch Chunk pro-
moters refuse to be turned aside from
their plans. They point with pride to
the fact that the Lehigh Valley Coal
Mining Company began practical mining
in Carbon county in 1892 in immediate
consequences of Ginder's discovery, and
it was only then that the possible i'm
portance of coal as fuel began to be ap-
preciated.
They claim, therefore, that Ginder is
entitled to a monument and they pro-
pose that he shall have one on the just
grounds that the discoverer of anthracite
is not the individual who knew that the
ground contained black stones without
knowing their use, but he whose dis
covery led to the use of coal as fuel.
Ginder seems to be as much deserving
of the honor of being called the dis
coverer of anthracite coal in Pennsyl
yania as Fulton is of being called tn
inventor of the steamboat or Isaac New
ton the discoverer of differential calculus
1t is good sign, too, that it is propose,

ance of our material interests. TIL

At the last session of the Legisla-
ture the Republicans defeated bill de-
signed to equalize taxation because ii
was for the interest of corporations to
have it defeated. The Republican party
get their money from these corporations
with which to carry elections, and the la.
boring classes need look for no relief from
this organization. The legislation of the
Republican party for the past twenty.
five years, both in the State and nation,
has been in the interest of the rich,
and this system of legislation is to be
perpetuated if the Republican party is
to be continued in power. Delamater
the Republican candidate for Governor
belongs to the corporations. He is a
creature of the Standard Oil Company
and "Boss' Quay, who claims to own
him, and, of course, he will be controlled
in the interest of corporate wealth as
against the rights of the people. If our
farmers and others who are suffering
from the burdens of taxation desire re-
lief, they must support the party and
who are in their interest;
whose acts have been in accordance with
their declarations. Wyoming Democrat.

wool we need.

WOOi VIC hCCos
Again granted, and what would follow
Merely that the price of pure woolen gar
ments would be so high that none but
the comparatively rich could buy them
and every year vast death harvest
would be reaped among the poorer peo-
pie, harvest the seed of which would be
the wool tax, levied in order that few
men might make money.
Cannot humane men and women, on
this point, cast aside the chains of
"party" and unite in demanding that this
awful blood tax be repealed? In other
matters of the tariff there are just grounds
for differences of opinion; but no one
but heartless savage can defend tax
the sole fruit of which to the nation at
large is rheumatism, pneumonia, bron-
chitis, consumption and death.-Ep.

The charge of Senator Emery that
Delamater is in the habit of buying
up votes in Crawford County, for
cash, the Meadville Messenger says is
nothing new for that locality. The
corrupt use of money to carry elec.
tions is a common practice in Craw
ford, The Messenger says: "The
hungry ROSTERS demand cash, and
the ambitious politicians furnish it
If they paid it out of their own pock.
cts it would not be quite SO bad. But
they filch it from the people by hook
or crook. About 100000 of the tax
payers surplus in the State Treasur,
IS handed over to Delamater's bank
and loaned out at 7 or per cent. in
terest. This furnishes a fund O
$1,000 or $4,000 q year. The count,
deposits are always put in the sam,
bank"
