IN the trade letter of a prominent
firm the following interesting announce
ment appears:
One year ago, under the Mckinley
law, the refiners received 81 per barrel
more profit on granulated sugar than
they are receiving to-day-a difference
to the sugar trust and other refners of
$50, 900 per day, and which must neces-
sarily be saved the consumer. This
condition is the truth, and is no theory
1t will pay you to bear these few truths
in mind.
The Democratic tariff legislation,
though it put duty on raw sugar, cut
the claws of the sugar trust to the ex-
tent of 100000 per day. So much of
the sugar tax as goes into the federal
treasury only represents money which,
if there had been no sugar tax would
have to be raised by taxing something
else. What odds whether pensions and
other governments expenditures be
raised from one commodity or another,
so that every dollar taken from the con-
sumner goes to defray proper charges in
stead of being distributed to private and
special favOrites?

IN a speech at Charleston W Va.
Congressman Wilson, gave the following
as good Democratic doctrine and drew
the picture of the results to follow the
wise action of the party in reducing tax
alton.
''TO deprive any citizen of the fruits of
his own toll by unjust taxation is rob
berry. To deprive him Of the opportun-
ity to toll for his living is still worse rob
berry. We have reached stage in our
development where the great need, the
absolute necessity, of the American
farmer and laborer is larger markets for
what he produces. Our capacity for pro
ducing has far outstripped our own pow
er of consuming. For surplus of farm
products or of goods there
is but one healthy safety valve, and
that is commerce. Without that safety
valve there is distress and suffOcation.
Without buyers for our products there is
no employment and scant wages for la
bor. These are simple truths, but they
are for most American workingmen
tremendous truths, for they control their
welfare and decide their condition in life
American industry is to day, thanks
to the recent action of the Democratic
party, about to enter, is already enter
ing, upon a new era. Its worst fetters
are broken. The dawn of a new day is
lighting its horizon. The signs of a
business revival are unmistakable, not,
let us hope, by any sudden and un-
healthy expansion, which will speedily
break down again, but by the steady
growth that carries no reaction with it. -

investing His MONEY.

Rochester, y. Y. Oct. 12.-John De
mine a gray haired farmer of fultney-
vile, is here looking for the woman he
married few weeks ago and 1000 she
got him to draw from the bank for her.
A week ago the wife, whose maiden
name, Demine says was Mary Waltz,
introduced to her husband a man of her
own age who came from this city and
who was, she said, an old school friend.
Demine was not pleased when the man
brought his trunk and prepared to stay
a while, but made no protest.
Soon Mrs. Demine explained that her
old school friend was great business
man, and he had told her that the bank
at Palmyra, in which Mr.. Demine had
8, 600. was not safe. Would he draw
out the money, and let her friend in
vest it,in Rochester?
All three went to Palmyra, and the
money was drawn and given to the
school friend, who took Mrs. Demine
along to help invest the money. From
the car Mrs. Demine waved her hand to
her husband and said: Good-by you
gray haired freak; maybe you won't see
us for some time"

The McKinleyites, says the Pittsburg
Post, who are denouncing Congressman
Wilson for what he didn't say in Lon
don have probably forgotten that when
General Grant was on his grand tour
around the world he also made speeches
in England in recognition of precisely
such civilIties as were extended to Chair
man Wilson. Probably they have for
gotten that in an address in Birming-
ham, October II, 1877 (as recorded by
John Russell Young, General Grant
made the following remarks in the ma
ture of prophecy:
81 think we are rapidly progressing in
the way of establishing manufactures
ourselves, and / believe we shall become
one of the greatest free trade nations
on the face of the earth; and when we
both come to be free traders think that
probably the balance of nations had bet

at all in the markets of the world

THE Louisiana sugar planters who
have deserted the Democratic party and
gone over to the Republicans because a
Democratic congress abolished the sugar
bounty, say that they were opposed to
the sugar bounty, but having been
forced on them, they are opposed to any
party that would take it away from
them. In other words, they were horri-
fled at the idea eff being debauched, but
having been debauched, they turn their
backs on any party, which won't de-
bauch them and flee to the only party
which has ever debauched them. The
more people of this kind the Democrat
ic party loses the worthier it is of public
confidence.

with him.
Mr.. Helm then fell in love with Mrs.
Smith, and the result was a trade in
wives that raised a commotion ard ne

moved to this city, where two applica-
tions for divorce were filed one year ago.
The petitions were not granted. Smith
and Mrs Helm are in Ohio, where he

The following is>a. brief sketch of the
history of John Ricketts,, one of the
nominees of the Democracy of this
county for assembly.
John Ricketts, was born on a farm
forty-five years ago near Utahville Clear
field county Pennsylvania of poor. but
honest parents, who are living yet. he
is a defendant of Captain Ed. Ricketts,,
who was the first settler in Cleariield
county and, consequently, Is a blood
relative of Colonel r Bruce Ricketts,, of
Wilkesbarre who was nominated by
the Democratic party for Lieutenant
Governor, of Pennsylvania, with Chaun-
cey Black.
John was considered good business
man when only sixteenyears of age. At
that early age he took contracts in the
lumber camp of stocking in logs and
square timber; he was the eldest son of
fourteen of a family and was his fathers
standard bearer, working on his father
| farm in the summer and in the lumber
camp in the winter, and when about
| twenty two years of age he got married
and settled in Reade township, this
county, on a farm where he now lives.
As he always had great taste for farm
ing he took it up for a life work max
| Ing sheep raising rather specially
and as a farmer, is classed among the
best. As to his farm all things consid-
! cred Is fitted out second to none in that
| part of the county.
When Reade township was first or

Der of the first school board was
chosen as president of that body the
second year, and afterwards was elected
assessor of his township and has been
chosen almost continuously by his party
as county committeeman from his dis
trict. We do not think the Democratic
party could have made better choice
in the north of the county, as he has
worked hard all his life and know:
|
wishes of the common people especially
the farmers. While he is not a gradu
ate of any college yet he managed Il

institutes and education and Is cOnsid

does not belong to any organization il

While every man has his enemies We
John has hosts of friends who pulIe,

and thrust the honOrs Of the nOmina
upon him. 1t is a clear case where tn
