POTATOES FROM CANADA.
From the Wyoming Republican.

Potatoes are generally considered a
profitable crop for the farmer to raise.
Although In years when the crop yields
heavy the price Is down, still the price TO
the farmer who raises potatoes every year
averages from 30 to ~ cents per bushel,
thus making 1t a profitable business.
When the crop Is snort and the price
ranges from IS cents to $l.25 per bushel.
there Is always ready home market Tor
this crop, and 1t should be the same in
years when the yield Is large and the
price Is low. 1t Is the destruction Of the
home market which pinches the farmer 8
pocketbook. and not the lower prices. This
year potatoes are plenty and the price Is
down to 25 and 80 cents per bushel.
--:O.-
The Wyoming county farmer has home
market for his crop-or thinks he has

tom he finds the railroad yards filled with
cars loaded with potatoes. He naturally

from such state of affairs? Who Is re-
sponsble for 1t? The Republican con-
gress passed tariff law placing tariff
OF 25 cents per bushel of sixty pounds on
potatoes. WesS there any potatoes from
Canada In the scranton market during the
life of that law? The Democrats came
into power, and. the result was very low
tariff law--in fact, free trade. The rate
placed on potatoes was thirty per centum
ad valorum." This would bring the tart
on that product down to w cents per
bushel this year, thus allowing the farm
crs of Canada to compete with our own
farmers, and Hood our home market with
potatoes. What does the Wyoming coun-
ty farmer get in return, in the way of mar.
ket, or otherwise, from Canada?
-:o:--
1t Is plain to see that the Democratic
party must shoulder the responsibility
for this deplorable state of affairs, and
yet they have the "cheek' to ask the
farmer to support their candidates! Wha,
farmer In Wyoming county can afford fo
give his whole potato crop toward the
support of the Democratic party? II you
depend on the Scranton market for the
sale of your potatoes, a vote for the DEM
ocratic party this fall virtually amounts
to handing over your produce to that
party, which has taken away your mar
ket and left the crops on your hands, In
stead Of the money you should have for II
In your pocket. This Is only one OF the

Enforce the Party Platform,

When. at Harrisburg, last August, at
the conclusion of the exciting battle for
party supremacy which eliminated in
Senator Quay's success, the victorious
leader from Beaver introduced q plank
pledging the Republican party in Penn
sylvania to a sweeping programme of
radical public reforms, there were those
who, in view of Senator Quays past
record and associations, seemed dis
posed ITO question the sincerity of his
action. 1t Is possible that that smile
Of incredulity which then ran round
the occupants of the Harrisburg opera
house has not yet wholly disappeared.
1t is possible that there are Republi-
cans who yet do not feel equal to the
task of regarding that succinctly word
ed but potentially dynamic paragraph
as embodying an honest and genuine
purpose.
To such we desire to suggest that the
party itself. in adopting that plank
without a dissenting voice, becomes re-
sponsible for its observance, hence 1t
need not affect the ultimate result
whether Senator Quay really meant all
that his words signify. or whether they
We're simply the verbal jugglc Of a poll
tician expert in the enactment of sensa-
tional roles. Our own opinion Is that
the senator meant at least enough Of
his plank to render his new attitude a
powerful reinforcement to the cause
of genuine reform. But whether he was
or is sincere or tricky, candid or artful,
need give no Republican pause. The
programme ceased to be Senator
Quay's programme the moment it was
adopted by the Republican party; and
1t will be the fault and the shame OF
that PARTY, now and forevermore. IL q
| determined effort shall not be made to
secure its practical and systematic en-
forcement wherever the evils COM
planned of exist or are suspected to ex-
| list.
| We must frankly say that we do not
see why the past or present personal at
titude of Senator Quay toward illegal
corporate interference in politics and
legislation, toward jobIbery or favorN-
ism in the granting of public privileges
or the issuing of public franchises. or
toward any or all of the other specifica-
tions of ill-doing which the recent state
convention pledged itself to correct
should be urged as an excuse for the
non-redenption of that pledge. Surely
the Republican party of the state OF
Pennsylvania is big enough to approach
It's duty without regari to the personal
inclination of any OF Its members. In
saying this we do not wish to signify
Indifference to Senator Quay's pur-
poses. nor to overlook the value Of c1Is
cooperation In the working out Of
promised refor1rs: we deslre. rather, 70
bring the party. ~ : whole to . tcalisln1

mos, Colonel Haywood thoroughly
lcn:n.arizei himself with the duties of
,lhe Office for which he is now candi-
da.e; and his election next Tuesday
WI come to him as a well-deserved
promotion.
There tas of late been considerable
the large ta1lrces which the common
wealth is accustomed to keep deposited
among a rumber Of designated banks.
The custom for years has been to put
! t.l.s money out without reference 10
the question of interest. If any inter-
est has ever been paid, the state has
never received It; and the natural sus-
! picion is that the recipaants of that
interest were either the state treasur-
crs, individually, the dominant party
! ruler, or various campaign committees,
which used It in the payment of poiti-
| cal expenses. This subject will no doubt
| be taken up by THE next legislature, in
| obedience to the reform plank of the
last Republican state convention. 1t
property belongs ito the province of leg
islation; and the- commonwealth
should, by speldific statute. prescribe
the disposition and rate of interest on
reserve funds belonging to 1t.
But, whatever shall be done in this
direction, 1t will reassure the people
of the STATE to know that when they
elect Colonel Haywood treasurer, they
will put in Office thoroughly honest
and trustworthy man, who would be
the first to cooperate with the state
legigla ture in the formulation of mea s.
ures for the correction of long stand.

HALLOWEEN.

The leading idea respecting Halloween
is that 1t is the time, Of all others, when
supernatural influences prevail. 1t is the
night set apart for a universal walking
abroad of spirits. both of the visible and
invisible world. One of the special char
acterlstics attributed to this mystic even

material principle In humanity to detach
itself from Its corporeal tenement and
wander abroad through the. realms Of
