Both parties will get out every voter if such
thing is possible. Committeeman Martin,
Supervisor Davenport and others are keeping
a good watch that none but those rightly en-
titled are permitted to register.
Advices from all parts of the state show
that the Republicans are alive to the danger
of the hour and are registering as they
never registered before. Committees in the
different cities and towns made a house to
house canvass and urged every Republican
to register which it seems they have done.
WEST VIRGINIA
Secretary Elkins has just returned from
West Virginia. He brings good news from
that state, He is most positive that Harri-
son will carry that state by safe majority.
A coal operator, former Pennsylvania,
arrived from the coal fields of West Virginia
and visited headquarters yesterday He
confirms the good news brought by General
Ell1ins. Thousands of Northern miners
have settled in West Virginia the past three
years, two-thirds being Republicans.
THE TARIFF.
Andrew Carnegie, who is at present on a
visit to Scotland, has written a letter to the
London Times, which has had the effect OF
opening the eyes of many Doubtful
Thomases'" here. He says that for coun-
try of fully developed resources like Eng
land, free trade is indispensable, but for a
new country like the United States, pro-
tective tariff is necessary to facilitate domes-
tic production.
Mr.. Carnegie also argues that in the United
States the cost of living is less than in Great
Britain, that the American wortingman can
buy more with S. than can a British work
ingman with pound, and that the cry of
free traders as to the enhanced prices of
necessaries of life applies to a period which
the American people have outgrown Maine
granite is now sold in Scotland for less than
Scotch granite, and agricultural machinery
made in the United States is driving out
similar machinery made in Europe. Mr..
Carnegie says thatsthe economic law of sur
plus behind these phenomena will in future
have more significance than the tariff.
SAFELY PILLoRIED
The Press of this city says: "No doubt
the Democratic tricksters whose cowardly
plot to steal the commonwealth of Pennsyl-
yania has been detected and frustrated will
attempt to pose before the respectable men Of
their own party as the victims of Republican
Misrepresentation But there is no way for
them to get rid of the odium they have
deliberately incurred Their tool and
accomplice, the Democratic state printer of
Pennsylvania, has himself furnished the
conclusive proof of their guilt.
State Printer Griers incriminating letter
to Democratic State Chairman Wright of
Pennsylvania should be sent broadcast over
the land by the Republican National Com
mittee. Grier's statement that owing to the
unusual size of the ballot officially selected
by William F, Harrity, "some localities in
tAe state will not be able to vOto IN November for
aoant Of tickets" and his declaration that as
the time required for printing is limited by
law, and but very few printing offices in the
state have a perforating machine" Wright,
az chairman should notify the commissioners
Of Democratic counties to be on the alert and
get contracts made l0hereoer they cam" and
that the StrOag Democratic counties osqht
first 30 receiUe attention." demonstrate beyond
all question the existence of one of the vilest
conspiracies that ever disgraced even Demo-
cratic pOlitics-a plot that had for its object
the deliberate theft for the Democracy of
the electoral vote of the great Republican
state of Pennsylvania.
The Democratic bosses cannot blot out this
confession. Wriggle and vociferate as they
will, they are fast in the pillory of public
disgrace. Their plot to keep the Republicans
of Pennsylvania from securing ballots to
cast against Cleveland and Stevenson should
result in overwhelming the Democratic
candidates beneath an avalanche Of opposing
votes. HOWARD.
