there was no crying demand for cheap

every man now engaged in shouting for
cheap articles is man who never worked

and wealthy editors, as well as corporation

of cheapness 1t is TO the interest of their

"APOSTLE OF CHEAPNESs."

The Miners Tribune, AS It's name i'm
plies, is a journal devoted to the interests
of the hardy sons of toll who dig coal,
which is published at Olyphant, Lacka-
wanna county, has heard OF the tour Of the
state on which Mr.. Sngerly, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, is now en-
gagged, and comments thus
"Mr. Singerly, the candidate for gov
ernor of the Democratic party, and the
Apostle of Cheapness, will soon visit
Lackawanna county ON his tour of educa-
ton. We would advise him to pay "a visit

gle person, running out II product fifty
times as great as single workman could
turn out in the days Of Ten cent Jimmy
Buchanan, we do not have to listen to
Cleveland, Wilson or Singerly to know
why things are cheap. The inventive
genius Of the workman has given to the
world appliances which produce the re-
quisites of consumption so easily, so
abundantly and with such rapidity that
all can be supplied with luxuries far more
readily than they could obtain the barest
necessities in the good old Democratic
times that Mr. Singerly promises to bring
to our doors If he is elected governor
Make things cheap is the slogan of Sin
gerly and, simmered down to its last an
alysis, it means cheap men and pauperism.
When men work for little of what they
earn, when they cut down the expenses of
home, the goods remain on the merchants
shelves, and with no demand for what
others create the others cannot In turn buy
what we produce. Cheapness means pow
erty, poverty means idleness and ignorance,
and where the parent cannot earn enough 10
supply the home, he must force his chill
dren to engage in labor at the earliest day
possible.

FROM A PRESIDENTIAL ORGAN.


Our Democratic contemporaries have
upon one or two occasions during this cam
paign reproduced from the columns of the
PHILADELPHIA Ledger, one of Mr.. Cleve-
lands personal organs, statements sup
posed to furnish some excuse for the con
dition into which the country has been
thrown bv the wrecksrs of prosperity
through their free trade work. The Led
ger. they have claimed, ought to be be-
heved but their quotations from 1t in the
interests of their cause have been In the
telegraphic columns and were the produc-
tions of correspondents We reproduce
here today paragraph from the financial
column of The Ledger of last Saturday.
The Ledger says:
Politics in this country are so 1nti-
mately related to business that any up
heaval in the former is bound to affect the
condition of the latter. The present de-
preston in business dates from the tri-
umph of the Democratic party in 1892. To
discuss why this is so would be to enter
upon an Inappropriate discussion OF a
question of partisan politics. Historically,
the fact is that il did follow that election,
and was increased and prolonged by the ina
bility of the party in power to force TO an
early vote the issues of silver repeal and the
tariff Now business will probably revive
and public confidence grow in strength,
whatever may be the result of the coming
November election; in fact, it had already
begun TO improve long before the political
campaign was opened, but there can be
no question whatever that there is pre-
vailing belief that, if the result of the cleo
tion is a reversal of the decision made in
1892. the process toward improvement will
be greatly accelerated. Republican victo-
ries are depended upon, therefore, to usher
in a period of reaction and recovery. This
is largely 4 de to the belief that a Republi-
can congress will mean a respite from fur
ther tariff changes for at least two years
As has been explained by Speaker Reed
who is competent TO speak for the Repub-
lican party a Republican congress, what
ever it might like TO do, would be pre-
vented by a Democratic president from
putting any radical change in the tariff
into law. II, therefore, the result Vi eiio
coming election is Republican victory it
ought TO mean rest for the manufactures
and merchant, and this should have an in
spring effect on business. With the ben
eft of this two years rest perhaps business
men may then be glad to indicate their
preference for one or the other policies OF
tariff legislation, and be willing TO have
| the Iaross.At- law improved or n new law en-
acted. A Democratic victory in Novem-
Der might not result in further tariff agi-
tation, but there would be no certainty OF
this, for the president and large section
of his party have declared their dissatisfac-
ton with the new law. The president even
| refused TO attach his name TO it, and 1t Is
regarded by tariff reformers only as IA
step toward genuine tariff reform"
Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1894-10-25

AruRrHRR and unexpected beauty of
the new tariff law is revealed by the pros
osctiye claim for damages to be filed
against the United States by the importers
Of Brazilian products, who represent
Brazil as much a. Themselves. The Wilson
law sbrogated the reciprocity treaties
without notice, this being in direct viola
ton of the convention entered into at the
time of signing the treaty. That agree
meet provides that each country must give
the other three months notice of desire
10 end the commercial arrangement, and
that the cessation of such trade relations
should occur on either January l or July
1. Under the new tariff law, which went
into effect August q, this Government be-
gan to collect import duties on oil goods
received from nations having such reel
procity treaties. Hawaiian goods were
alone excepted. The claim Of the Brazil
Ian importers will be for the tax levied
pstween August q, 1894, and January l,
1895. They will probably collect every
cent, unless the FIfty-third Congress de-
libsrately repudiates the former contract.
Then the Brazilian Government could ap-
pear in the matter. and through interna-
tional arbitratnrs secure justice.

Last Saturday the relatives and friends

beautiful and useful presents. Next in
order was game of foot ball between the
Prospect boys and the boys of Oakland.
The Prospect team have been practicina
for two or three years, while the Oakland
team haye not been playing for four years.
The game was well played till the umpire,
who was from Prospect, began to favor his
side, but although the Oakland boys were
cheated out of severa' scores at the close
of the game it stood % to % in their favor
