of disseminating its blessings among our

established and projected, over 20 tin plate

Prior to 1870 we had no steel rail indus
try, but were wholly dependent on Eng
land for our supply She charged us for
steel rails $50 per ton in gold. Congress
put on a tariff duty of s2S per ton. Mark
the result. We now produce more steel
rails per annum than does England, and
the cost is nearly the same in New York
as in London.
CLOSE OF A REMARKABLE SPEECH.
Mr.. Dalzell followed with similar ar
ray of figures in regard to cotton ties,
binding twine, ETC., and closed as follows
Mr.. Chairman have said nothing, ex
cept incidentally, of the results of the
legislation now so uDseientifically attack
ed by these extraordinary measures repre-
senting mongrel policy, nor do | pro-
pose to do so. 1t is sufficient to say that
every promise made for it by its friends
and champions has been fully realized in
practice, aud every calamitous prophecy of
its opponents proven false and unfouuded.
Under its beneticent influence our foreign
trade, instead of diminishing, has. grown
as it never grew before, and to proportions
magnificent to contemplate.
In the aggregate OF The worlds traffic an
increasing balance of profit has come to
us, home industries have been revived and
new ones have sprung up, labor has con
tnued to receive its fal share of reward,
and the country has in comparison with
others, kept its place in all that contri-
butes 20 the national and individual well
fare All things have combined to indorse
as wise and benefcent, the economic poll
cy which is linked with every prosperous
perud in our history and with its honored
names, which has made US great, and
which will, doubt not continued By an
intelligent people, in the providence of
God, make us yet greater by its march to
new conquests in the development of the
marvellous wealth of continent.

That Infamous Agreement.

At the Congressional convention of 1888
the delegates of Butler county supported
the nominee of Beaver county; and Mr..
Townsend vas nominated and elected.
The nominee Of Butler county, at that
time expected return OF the favor he had
extended to Beaver county, aud was not
only disappointed in that, but during the
Philips-McDowell contest of 1890 the
following agreement, which is sample of
Quay's politics, was made public.
at is mutually agreed that A. Mellow
ell and his friends in Mercer county are
to support the candidacy Of G. G. Town
send Tor Congress in the congressional con-
ference of 1890 by giring him the rotes Of

ference; and on the part of q. q. Townsend
and his friends in Beaver county, he and
they will give the support oi the Beaver
county conferrees to A. Mcdowell in the
conference for the congressional nomina-
tion in 1892. And if necessary to carry
out the spirit Of this agreement, McD0NeH

Ger c0Iuty in 1890, and Townsend in Bea-
yer county in 1892. And it is also agreed
tho aud parties and their friends are to

Sandbagged and Robbed.

The Pittsbug Chroaic Telegraph, of
last Saturday evening, told the following
story:
II. G. Wilson, Butler county farmer,
was sand -bagged and robbed in the Dia-
mond market last night A description
of his asSailantS has been furnished the
police, and the man will be captured to-
day.
Wilson came to the city yesterday for
the purpose of buying lot of groceries
and household goods with which to stock
his little home in Butler, having only been
married few of weeks. After transacting
all his business he concluded to take in tn g
sights before he returned to his country
home. In his travels he visited number
of saloons in the central part of the city,
and it was while in one of these that he
met man who claimed to have formerly
lived in Butler county. friendship soon
sprang up between the two.
The stranger suggested to the farmer
that they attend the theater. The country
boy put up So for the best seats in the
house and they attended the show together
When the show was out Wilson told his
friend that he would have to hurry to
catch the train, as he had only few
minutes in which to reach the depot. The
stranger COHstHlcu W accompany nun 40
far as the station, but assured him that
there was no need to hurry, as there was
ample time When they reached the
depot Wilson was informed that the last
train for Butler had gone half an hour
before
The stranger then suggested that Wilson
go to his room and stay all night, which
invitation he accepted. They again came
over to Pittsburgh, and while passing
through the Di amond market the stranger
turned suddenly and seized Wilson by the
throat. At the same time man jumped
ont of the shadow of the market and dealt
him a terrific blow on the top OF the head,
which felled him to the ground. The men
then went through his pockets and robbed
him of $50 and a railroad ticket He was
found by officer Conway an hour later
living in the street. The man told the
officer that he had been robbed, but as he
appeared to be intoxicated the policeman
locked him up on a charge of drunkenness.
At the hearing this morning his head
was shown to be badly bruised and his
neck was swollen to almost twice its nor
NAL size. This, he claims, was caused by
the man choking him. Judge McKanna
instructed the arresting officer to take
Wilson to Police Headquarters and furnish
a description of his assailants.
Detective Shore Investigated the case
and says there is nothing in the mans
story-that there were no bruises on him
and he tells several conflicting stories.
He saws the man claimed to be robbed to
save himsel from being fined for drunken
ness.

Corporations and Candidates.

Mr. Quay's advocates in this region are
making a special effort to convince the
people that Mr.. Dalzeli is a corporation
candidate because when praeticing his pro-
fession in Pittsburgh he was engaged TO at
tend to the law business Of some railway cor
porations. The fact that he was SO engaged
is undisputed and it il tribute to his
learning aud ability rs lawyer. You
will always observe that the corporations
employ the ablest lawyers whenever
they have occasion TO employ any at all.
1t is also fact that IN the House of
Representatives Mr.. Dal2ell has been one
of the abeSt and most efficient opponents
of some of the big corporations that have
tried to get their hands into the public
treasury. But his attack upon Mr.. Dal-
zeIl has called public attention to the fact
that Mr.. Quay has been and now is some
thing more than an attorney of the corpor-
alton, being corporation man himself.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press,
in commenting on the attacks on Dalzeu,
calls attention to the facts as follows:
at is a tribute to Mr.. Dalzelfs ability
that he was employed by a corporation, and
such employment in no wise untitled him
to be the able Congressman and true Rep
resentative of the people he has shown
himself to be during his entire public
career. 1t occurred to me, however, to
see how his opponent, Mr.. Quay, stood on
this question of corporations. In fifteen
minutes discovered that he was president
Of the Seventeenth and NinctcetA Streets
Passenger Railway Company and di-
rector Of the Union Passenger Railway
Company, both controlled by the Traction
Company, in which, am told, he is large
stakeholder. This is the corporation which
is now boldly defying the people of Phila-
delphia | am also told that Mr.. Quay,
during his entire public career, has been
the friend, ally and agent of the great
railroad corporations Of the state. Surely,
he and his friends were fools, indeed, to
raise this question
These facts are commended to the
consideration of the gentlemen who have
lately been thrown into such spasms by
the fear that corporation man. might

Dalzell and the Tariff.

While Quay is running over the state
setting up his political fences, Dalzell
sticks to his seat in the House and repels
the mongrel attacks of the Democrats on
the Mckinley tariff law. His speech
during the Tariff debate of last Friday was
the feature of the day, and was commented
upon by every important daily published
in the country next DAY. We make the
following extracts from the speech
published:
The tariff question is one oil Govern
mental policy, business question wnlcn
is capable of and merits calm and logicai
discussion. 1t is not a new question.
The protective system is uot, as one
gentleman uncovered his ignorance in de-

a system reaching far back into the worlds

There is no man within the sound OF my
voice who does not know that revenue

factures. In which millions of money are

starvation or beggary. 1t would crowd

from the farmer his home market and mul-
tiply his products without multiplying the
mouths to feed Over and above and

This is Very Hard.

1t is not gratifying to learn that Matth ew
S. Quay is making headway in his contest
for reelection to the Senate from Penn
sylvania, but it is not surprising. Mr..
Quay's Republican competitor for the
place is John Dalzell, at present member
of the House from the Pittsburgh district.
Mr.. Dalzell is man ofpersonal force and
mental ability. The latter trait is against
him. Pennsylvania has hardly had a
statesman in the Senate for 40 years unless
thing better than intrigue in either branch
of Congress, and such as have appeared
have been carefully kept out of the Senate.
United States Senatorships there have
been reserved for the Camerons and Quays,
and. if they can't elect themselves, they
usually succeed in putting ciphers N their
places. Herald.

QUAY's literary bureau makes a
great ado over his military record, and
the fact that he is in possession OF
one of the medals of honor, authoriz
ed by Congress during or shortly af-
ter the war, for special acts of BRAY
cry or meritorious conduct in battle.
The facts of the case are that be was
in but one battle and 10 that acted as a
Generals aid; that he left the army
Immediately after that battle; ard
that twenty five years after that bat
tie be applied to the Sec'y of War
for and obtained one of the medals
on the strength of his infue nee as a
United States Senator. He was not
entitled to one of those medals or he
would not have waited a quarter of
century before asking for one. He
is the only member of that regime 1T
who secured one. Col. O'Brien who
led that regiment into every battle
battle in which it was engaged did
not secure one. Quay got a medal
for one days staff duty and there
are members of that regiment who
stayed the war out, living in this
county to day, in poor health and
needy circumstances, who have never
been able to secure pension.
