SCARCITY OF LABORERS

Pennsylvania Farmesrs Put

READING, PA.-The farmers Of
Berks county are having a hard
time in gathering in their harvests of
hay and grain. Having run the
gauntlet of fruit tree worms, potato
bugs, flies, grass and mortgages, and
now to add the great scarcity of
labor to the vexations, they have
been forced to lead out into the har-
vest fields their wives, daughters and
children. The attention ofstrangers,
as they pass up Schuykill river, has
been attracted by the unusual speta-
Gle of large numbers ofwomen work.

dition Of things which has been uns
known to this part of Pennsylvania
for many years, and calls to mind
the custom in Germany and other
European countries where the bulk
of the out door farm labor is done by
women.

ANOTHER southern industry has been dealt a severe blow by the re- publican majority in congress. The Conger lard bill robs every cotton raiser by reducing the price of cot ton seed. The millionaire pork packer of the north demanded his share of protection and it was grant ed at the expense of the cotton farm CT, thus vitally affecting every cotton planter, be he white or black, demo- crst or republican. Yet we presume the latter will go on voting for the republicans and esteem it . glorious privilege.

THE increased tax placed on bag ging and ties by the Mckinley bill takes money out of the pockets of the southern farmers to enrich the eastern manufacturer. The repub. lican theory of government IS that the west and south must pay tribute to the east and north.

For years I was troubled the most malignant type of chronic blood trouble.

A few bot ties cured me permanently. I also consider S.S.S. the best tonic I ever saw. While taking it my weight in creased and my health improved in every way.

Sketch of the Union Labor Cam
 dIdate for Congress.


 MT. Langley was raised in Clark county. His father was a Congeder- ate soldier, and very early in life he seems 10 have been led oil into the Republican party, perhaps by an uncle named Miles L. Langley, who represented this county, (Clark) ln the Reconstruction Constitutional convention in 1868. h 1875 he be ; Ionged to the Union League Iu this county. Afterward, when he was accused oft. he, or his friends for him, pleaded the 'sbaby act.n saying he was under age when he joined and persuaded into 1t by others, etc. In 1874 we find him preaching and teaching school in Hot Spring coun- ty. While there 1t is reported that he made race for sheriff, either on the Republican or Independent tick ct.
 In 1875 or 1876 he moved to Ark adelphia, and was licensed to pract. ice law. h the fail of 1876 he was a candidate for justice Of the peace on the Democratic ticket but was de- ieated.
 Tn 1877 he offered himself as a candidate for city recorder e ;Sf Arka- delphias as Demccss@sz. but was de- feated. -a
 In 1878 he offered himself as 8 candidate for representative from Clark county, as a Democrat, but was defeated; however, it is to his credit that he was elected to the of flee of school director in Arkadel- phia during the year 1878. In 1880 he was again candidate for the legislature from Clark coun- ty, as Democrat, but was again de feated.
 1 In 1883 he joined the Greenback CTS, and was again candidate for the legislature, with the same yer dlct from the people that "they did not want him." Soon after this he became discouraged and moved tc the city of Hot Springs, where, ir 1884, he made 8 race on the "sore headed and disgruntled ticket for the office Of county and probate Judge of Garland county, but with his usual luck he was defeated whereupon he folded his tent and pitched his camp" at Little Rock where he was S candidate for con
 gress in 1886 against Judge Rogers
 when, as usual, he was defeated. i My recollection is that last yeal 1 he magaanimously declined nomi- nation, from the Greenback- Union Labor.Annex to the Republican par ty, for state office: the only occas lon on record when he missed ar opportunity to become a candidate for an office.

TIE democratic party of Pope county should make a special effort to poll a large vote this fall Every democrat ought'to go to the polls and contribute as much as possible to the reelection of Maj. Breckinridge, not merely by a majority but by a larger vote than he eyer received be- fore. Such a result would be a de- served rebuke to the republican iacobins whe busted him from his seat not because he gas not elected but because Jno. NJ. Clayton was killed.
