Just as soon as the ditfercntial rates

clearly the determination of the other

only covers the whole question Of inn

the other and every man conversant

Washington. Jan. 4-The tariff war

ment Of & protest against that para
Sfaph OF the sugar schedule which i'm
poses an additional duty of one-tenth of
per cent on sugar coming 10 the tnil-
ed States from The countries which pay
an export bounty on it, This action was
taken today and the ground taken by
the minister was similar to that which
formed the basis for protest BY Ger

d1scll!nlnates against Austria and is
consequently a violation of the treaty
OF commerce with that nation So far

that he has been beqqeathod $4,000 by
the will of the late Henry B. Carey, of
Los Angeles, Cal. Back of the bequest
is the story of an unpaid debt that
brought the lender ultimately compet-
ence for life. In 1862 Dr. Leete loaned
Cary $500, AT that time both men lived
in Newark, N. j. Cary migrated to
California and made fortune, but he
never during his life time paid Lecte his
money, When he died, not long since
his will was found to contain a clause
acknowledging his debt to Leete and
stating that the $500 was the foundation
of his fortune and in consideration of
this he bequeathed him $50, 1000.

mingled with an ardent love for the well
fare of our fellow man, carried to the
point of self-sacrifce.
A certain patriot named Washington
over one hundred years ago captured
many prisoners in battle down on the
Delaware and sent them up to the bleak
mountains of Pennsylvania to earn their
bread by the sweat of their brow. These
prisoners were mercenary horde who
were imported from the continent by
the tyrant English king to crush the
spirit of patriotism that animated the
sturdy colonists to take up arms in de-
Tense of their homes and liberties.
These men were called Hessians and
years has worked complete transfer
nation. Their offspring are ardent pa
triots. They have not yet arrived at the
point of self-sacrifice it is true, but they
are coming. They are now busily en-
gagged trying to bottle up the eternal
principles of liberty and patriotism that
illuminated the world for thousands of
years and substitute it with a home pro-
duct of their own manufacture. 1t is to
be hoped that another hundred years
will work complete regeneration and
enable them to behold the principles of
patriotism and liberty in the fulness of
its universal grandeur.
To my fellow citizens of Freeland |
extend the hand of fpllowSbip and
brotherly love across the bloody chasm
this gilt-edged patriot is trying to dig.
We are brothers, the children of a COM
mon Father, linked together in social
intercourse and holy communion by
bonds that are inseparable and any at
tempt to sever them will prove futile.
The man who would revive the proscrip-
tive spirit that prevailed away back in

part company with honest and intelli-
gent men.
Mr.. Editor, l have occupied more
space than intended, and in conclusion
would make the following proposition:
After the election is past and reason has
resumed its normal sphere, l am salts
fled to cast away the non-de-plume and
discuss this question with my friend, in
the light of day, if he will do likewise
| will engage to prove to the satisfac-

POLITICAL POINTERS.

Freeland is a Democratic town by a
large majority, and each of the candi-
dates, Messrs. Rutter, Bresln, Timony,
Mccarthy, Gallagher and Myers should
be elected to the offices they seek. If
any of them fails it will cause trouble in
future years.
Democrats should not forget their can
didates for poor officers tomorrow. Mr..
Faust, of the Weatherly Herald is Il
gentleman who would make an excellent
director, and Mr.. Sharpe, of Lansford,
is well qualified for auditor.
A plain ordinary victory will not salts
fly the Democrats this year. Every man
on the ticket should have a rousing ma
iority. The votes are here and all that
is necessary is to get them out and make
a clean sweep.
Candidates are working energetically
to get out the full vote on Tuesday.
There is but little noise on the surface,
nevertheless both parties are leaving
nothing undone.
Foster Democrats are making a
splendid uphill fight The odds are
against them, but they are hopeful.
Freeland borough will have 1850
official.and 450 specimen ballots. Foster
will have 2,625 official and s75 specimen.
The Democrats of the third borough
district propose to give the ticket a
majority of no less than rs votes.
Mark your ballot as the specimen bal
lot shown on the fourth page is marked.
Two crosses (X) are sufficient, but be
sure you get them right.
There is considerable uncertainty in
the borough. This is the first municipal
election since the consolidation, and it
takes nerve to make a prediction of
tomorrow's result
Don't be afraid to sacrifice little
time tomorrow to vote yourself, and
when that is done go after your friends.
Poll every Democratic vote in the bor-
ough. The ticket will be elected if this
is done.
The proposition to increase the school
debt will be stubbornly contested. The
opposition has conducted an aggressive
campaign, and the failure of the board
to make public its plans has helped the
opponents of the scheme wonderfully.
