AMBER. Pa, Jan. 20. 1894
Some days ago The democratic pspers
throughout the country copied an article
from the Philad phia Record stating
that We had demanded the resignation of
all democrats IN our employ" AMI that "all
democrats had TO walk The plank" This
was pure and simple misrepresentation Of
fact a no demand had been made on any
democrat or republican. and neither at
that time nor for weeks before nor since
ha- any man been discharged or left our
employment

He was talking about financial matters
Down East" politics being a subject he

"Of course, with the present outlook in

How are the state finances?'
Never better, | think l may say. Ow-
ing TO the laws passed BY the legislature
of 1893, the new measures of taxation and
the economical appropriations, the state
tax rate has been reduced to only 2l4
mills for this year which is 4 mill less
than last year. During 1898 We paid off
$500, 600 of our temporary loans, and this
year will wipe out the 500, 600 remaining
