Nc doa,t blame Dr. Gfaw Of the Tsmpsr

We dGa't blame DR.. GfaE OF the Temper
amer Gazette, Camden. for being smart and
at times saying some very smart things and
making some folks who are not so smart
smart right smartly Born of broad and
rugged nature and somewhat combatiye
withal. it is not surprising that with the
hard knocks he sometimes receives from
the rusnmies, he should nov and then give
back something worse than a mule kick in
return. With his manifest ability to do so
the only wonder is that he does not kick
harder ard oftener Here is sample kick
ing bee Of which the Dr.. was principal.
TIE CUMBERLAND PRESS.
The reason Why the newspapers, both
Democratic ard Republican, in Cumberland
county are 30 silent on the County Excise
Commission outraged because they fear to
lose the nice little job of publishing the
laws. or course these papers are not for
revenue. they simply want the cargo, that
is all. The Prohibition papers arc published
for revenue. but what the revenue comes
from our editorial brothers fail to tell. The
newspaper is a public educator, and if it
fails to denounee evil. its existence is not a
public blessing.
The press of Cumberland county has an
opportunity now ofsliowing its honesty and
coura2e. The rum men subsidize the press
in various ways. They advertise and pay ex-
tFayagant rates, and in other ways influence
every newspaper that can be reached. As
long as they control the press they keep
from the people all information that may in
jnre their traffic. Ifthe partisan newspa-
peT5 would antag0niZe the liquor traffic as
they antsgonize each other on various party
questions, the people would be SO thorough
~ aroused by the unmasking of this terri.
ble crime that they would demand its legal
extermination at once.
OF old God said the people were destroy
e1 through lack of knowledge, and tbroug b
lack of information the peoples interests
are destroyed in our day. Ii nothing else
will compel the press 20 speak out. let the
people withdraw their patronage. II money
is sufficiently potent to silence the press, it
is also sufficiently potent to arouse it TO
duty.

New York, March 26.-Every one

nabob who, having been sent home in

complaint, no sooner heard his parish

of you be notorious evil liver" than he

REFORMING REFORMERS.


Democratic Free Trade Bureau Mod.
essIy soiicits SO From the Faithful.
The following disengenuous and ten
der appeal for money has been issued
to the Democratic free traders of the
country by New York annex OF the
National Democracy incorporating un-
der the seductive title Of Reform club.
Already the club has revenue Of $500,
but with childish innocence the secIe-
tlry asks each one to whom the cIrcu-
lar is addressed TO become non-res-
dent member of the club. at the stipu-
lated price Of $40 per annum. This is
the circular:
81 WILLIAM.Sr.. New YORK,
March IL, 1891.
DEAR SIR hand you copies OF PAM
phlets OF information concerning the
club. The nigh tariff party realizes
that it must make successful fight mt
once or be permanently defeated. The
preparations already making for 1892
indicate that the election then to be
held will be the most hotiy contested
of any that has been held since our
government was established. This club
proposes to follow up the victory OF
last autumn by such steady and etfec-
tive work as shall help secure its repeti-
tior. In view of the Importance of its
tariff reform work, and OF the extent
to which our nonresident members are
specially interested in 1t. the trustees
have appropriated in advance to the
use of this committee all duee from
nonresident members for the year
1891, this in addition to tho voluntary
subscriptions of resident members for
the same purpose, which latter
have been coming IN at the rate
of $500 per week since January /. We
therefore feel justified IN urging that
you call the club to the attention of
eligible gentlemen interested In the
cause, even though they may have no
special use for club facilities in New
York City, and secure their consent TO
be proposed as nonresident members.
Such members are subject TO no adj
MISSION fee, and are subject to no
liabilities whatever. except for dues at
the rate of $40 per year so long as they
remain members. Not merely will
their dues helpour Tariff Reform work
but our ability to do effective work in
any part of the country depends great.
ly upon the advice and local cC-opera-
ton of non-reNdent members.
Always glad TO be advised as to work
in which We can cooperate, and rs to
literature most useful in your locality.
Faithfully yours,
The Committee on Tariff Reform,
