Congressman KuIp,

Monroe II. Kulp, the newly elect
ed member of congress from the
seventeenth district, is one of the
best known young men in Central
Pennsylvania and one eminently
qualified to I'll that high and hover !
able position.
While not native of this county
he has been resident of Shamokin
for the last thirtyyears during which
time he has become perfectly ac-
quainted with the varied interests
of the coal regions and is thoroughly
conversant with their requirements.
Mr.. Kulp is the eldest son of the
late Darlington Il. Kulp. and was
born i'll Bato, Berks county, Octo-
Der %, 1857 When about seven
years of age his parents moved to
Shamokin where for the ten years
he was engaged about the mi mes
working in nearly every branch of
the coal industry, attending at ir-
regular intervals the public schools
of the borough where he received n
common school education.
At the age of II he entered the
store of his father and remained
there until the firm of Kulp Il Nc
Williams was formed in 1878, when
he entered their employ and began
to learn the lumber business, in
which he has since become so sue
cessful.
He has thus advanced from
the lowest step on the ladder in
the business world, that of the la
borer, to the highest round that OF
the manager. and while his progress
was rapid, it was the result of strict
attention to business and the ex-
ercise of excellent judgment, a
kindly disposition towards all with
whom no came ir contact and an
untiring perseverance. He stands
to-day among the employers and
employed alike, one of the most
popular and best thought of men in
the business.
Mr.. Kulp will take the oath of Of
fee on the 4th day of March. 1896,
and take his seat in the 54th con-
gress in December, 1895. to legislate
for the people of his country.

WASHINGTON LETTER
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Aug. g7, 1904

WASHINGTON. ID. q. Aug. ~, 1894
Lots of democrats are more inter.
ested in the gossip about the report
ed combination .ietween Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson and Senator Hill
than in the tariff. According to the
little that has leaked out about this
combination it was formed for dou-
bic purpose. First, to prevent the
denomination of Mr.. Cleveland in
'96, and second, to make Stevenson
or Hill the nominee of the demo-
Gratis, each agreeing to throw bis IN
fiuence to the one that shall devel-
OPP the greatest strength previous
to the holding of the convention.
This weeks visit Of Stevenson and
Hill to the grave Of Thomas Jeffer-
son at Monticello was for the pur-
pose Of laying the wires TO get con-
troll of the democratic machinery in
Virginia, as starter.
The free traders were disappoint.
ed when they found out that Senator
White, of California, the new dem
ocratic member of the senate finance
committee, would vote with the re.
publicans Of the committee against
reporting fayorably the house bill
to put lead ore on the free list. The
bill will probably be quietly pigeon
holed.
If republican expectations are re.
allied in the election of senators to
fill the three vacancies, one each
from Montana, Washington and
Wyoming, il is altogether probable
that the bargain between the sugar
trust and the bosses of the demo
cratic party will be speedily upset
at the next session of congress, by
the passage Of bill to put all su
CARS on the free list, with an amend
ment providing for bounty on all
domestic sugar. 1t is believed that
free sugar bill with bounty
amendment would receive, in add,
ton to the vote of every republican
senator, those of the populists and
of the two democrats from Louisi.

OuR neighbor, the Democrat, ex-
plains that the new irriff bill is bet
ter than the Mckinley law "because
1t has less protection in it.' This
would be good reason from free
trade standpoint if ii were strictly
true. a more accurate statement
would he that the democratic tariff
has different kind Of protection
than The Mckinley law provided.
The one protects the sugar trust to
about the same extent that the other
protected the farmers wool. Ii is
not the amount but the character of
protection IN the democratic tariff
that condemns it.
