A PREACHER ON POLITICS,
Rev. c. W. Hutsler Portrays the Ways
of Free Ii ade.

Let preasers priaeir end not NEEDLE
with politics. Now.We all know that
politics is the science of government,
and the government of America is a
moral question, hence, the pulpit has
a right to be heard
The gentle, loving touch Of sweet
Democracy is being felt in all of its
glory, in this part of the world.
Think of strong, honest men, pale
faced women, and halfclad children
all asking for Bread Bread! Breadth
Perhaps it is the Niger" ques
ton that has caused all this. AS soon
as Repu blican says anything about
politics, Tariff, and Protection, the
Denmys cry out, "Nigger lover"
This country cannot go at one awful
leap from Protection to Free Trade
without there being smash, but as
said, perhaps it is the Niger"
The Pennsylvania Steel Company,
of Steelton, Pa, one of the large in
dustries of the State, giving employ
ment to about 5000 men, closed down
indefinitely on the Ist. A happy
New Year indeed, and from all over
the State comes the weeping wall OF
men out of employment; but sup
pose it is all on account of the Mig
ger | have talked to prominent
politicians, bankers, etc, and all Of
them say, if the Government had not
changed hands Of late, we would moi
be where we are. Public confidence
has been shaken. There are plenty
of rich men to-day who cannot posi-
bly, meet their notes in bank; the
the banks are simply carrying them
along and others who want money
cannot get it on that account. 1t is
too bad, indeed, that the Niger
should cause so much trouble. White
wash him or else put him out. The
end is not yet. Three years more o
Grover and some will be under the
clover. OF course Martinsburg ha.
not felt the panic as yet, as all of The
b. & 0. shop hands are making over
time-doing nothing.
Harrisburg is noted for its hospital
ity, but the Benevolent Society i:
overtaxed with calls for help. Men
women, and children ask fo
bread, for coal, for clothing, and th'
society asks pitying public to help
Good pity the poor and temper th'
wind to the shorn lamb. | suppost
the Wilson bill will, when it become.
a law, start all of the idle shops anC
factories in the country. Just wal
and see. Because a man can buy /;
cheap coat is no sign of good times
'Humph," said Pat to the grocer
when told that potatoes were worth 7!
cents per bushel, "Whin Oh was in til,
the ould country, Oi could by thin

buy them?" said the grocer BE

The Republican principle of Protec
ton. History may repeat itself othe
Republics have fallen and so may ours
but not on account of the Niger
The Democratic party has the pow
er to help this reeling, tottering coun
try inside of 4S hours. Let the HOUSE
anu tiIe oeHdle pass resolution ina
the Tariff shall not be changed during
the present administration, or, le
President Cleveland tell the American
people that he will veto any and every
bill that interferes with the tariff Lee
them do that and then they viii have
the honor of doing one good thing
while they were in power, before they
go out to go in no more, forever.
