Hon. Len Taggart, of Emporium, in
an open letter to the Independent of
that place last week, eriticises an article
which rec ,ntly appeared in this paper
in referer ce to the Congressional con-
ference of fourteen years ago, when
Mexican ind Cameron counties were
connecte with Potter, Tioga, Lycom-
ing and Sullivan in Congressional
district. We took the position in the
article re ferred to, that Mr.. Emery,
Mexican ,ounty's delegate, insisted up
on the ne mination from the beginning
ofthe con terence to the end and objected
to his cor ferees voting for any other
candidate, if there was the ghost of a
chance fer the nomination of that can
didate. IN response to that statement
Mr.. TAG CART says: "The facts in the
case are that Hon. L. Emery, Jr., offered
to end the contest by nominating JOS.
Cochran on the first ballot at the time
the convention convened in Emporium,
and this offer remained open to the
Judge until the end of the convention"
Mr.. Taggart adds to his signature the
words, "conferee of above referred to
was not a conferee in that convention
and he must depend largely upon those
who were and the files of this paper, for
data in reference to it, One fact has
recently come to his knowledge and
that is that Mr.. Cochran's candidacy
was in the interest of Hon. Clay Nc
Cormick, the Lycoming candidate, that
Mr.. Cochran had no more idea of rep
resenting this district in Congress than
he had of representing this country at
the Court of st. James. Mr.. Emery
knew perfectly well and SO did his con-
ferees, that the voting now and then for
Cochran was altogether perfunctory
and cut no figure in the nomination of
congressman.
Mr.. Taggart is one of the few men,
protesting to be Republicans, who met
in Warren recently and nominated Mr..
Emery for Congress. They represented
no party and very few people. Their
stock in trade is to overthrow the reg
ular Republican organization of the 9th
district. They will find when the votes
are counted in November that there
are less sore-heads in the district than
they counted on and that their efforts
have proven an ignominious failure

Letter From Nome.

DEAR ONES ALL
I'm writing this under difficulties using for q
writing desk piece of wood, in our tent by II
o'clock p. m. sun light sun goes down at II:3O
p. m. and up again at 1880 a m There is no
night here at this time of year This is great
sight, there being thirty to forty thousand peo-
pie camping right here and more boats coming
in every day. There is also about thirty thirty
five thousand discouraged people. Hundreds of
them are going back on the same boats they
came on. The last three days there has been six
suicides and yesterday two murders occurred up
in town. guess people coming here must have
had the erroneous idea that they could pick nm
gold on the streets.
We are not in the least discouraged yet After
we give it months trial and find nothing, then
we may commence to feel blue The last four
days we have been building boat and now have
her finished and will pull out of here tomorrow
night We expect to go up the beach towards
York anywhere from twenty to sixty miles No
doubt there is lots of gold here, but think most
of the best has been taken If we find a good
place ON the beach we will pitch our tent and
work it. have had frightful cold, but am get
ting better now. can tell you, though this is
hard very hard proposition; one has to work
like horse but it viii be easier when we get our
boat to carry our stuff in. Things are very
cheap here; 2jc to wink your eye, cup of coffee
and sandwich one big dollar. We are indopend-
ent ofthe robbers, we have two months pro-
visions. We did, however, buy some bread and
a feI0 eggs; eggs are only s1.OC a doz
For supper we had fried potatoes, bacon and
eggs, bread and butter and coffee. We brought
10 pounds of butter with us from Seattle and it's
immense. Amos Fenton is putting some finish
ing touches on the boat while am boiling some
beans. We have fine stove, burns wood or oil
but we have been burning wood since here; there
scarce now. l went two miles to get load today
Oil is 81 LOO gallon. The price of things is bound
to come down, as they are unloading tons upon
tons of freight here.
The lumber for our boat cost $1,000; could get
the same in Emporium for about s1.5O. We had
man help us one day with boat he only
charged s1.5O per hour. Many people are dis
couraged, as they came here to work, and there
is no work to be done except for carpenters.
am going to bed soon and | suppose you are
thinking of getting up as it is a. m, there now.
The weather here is not bad. 1t has rained two
days since we landed; the other days the sun has
been shining, but the wind is cold. l wonder if

The total gross earnings of railroads
were S23s, 900, 600 larger last year than
in 1895.
Sheep are worth more than twice as
much this year in Utah as they were
worth in 1895.
Every corp-fed steer in Nebraska is
now worth S12 to $16 more than in 1896.
Farmers in that State will hardly vote
for Democratic times again.
The American claim to unrestricted
facilities of trade in China was based
on treaty rights, which were about to
be ignored when our claim was made
and secured.
President Mckinley urged that the
duties to be levied under the Dingley
tariff should ''revive and increase man.
ufacturers." This has been done, as
our wage -earners we'll know.
The CARRYING of our vastly increased
foreign commerce benefits only foreign
vessels, to which the American people
pay over 5000. .CO0,OOO each year in
freight alone.
Under the operation of the Wilson
free trade tariff for revenue only, there
was a deficit of $108, 900, 600 in thirty
five months. Under the Dingley tariff
for protection there was a surplus of
S46,000,00 in thirty.two months.
Under this Administration, our farm
ers, merchants and manufacturers have
been assured that the markets of China
would be always open to them in equal
competition with other nations.

There is another kind who always

must go after it but it is always waiting

There some who pay on the street,
never take receipt, leaving it to the
editors honesty to give him proper

he is good pay just the same.

The increase in the foreign trade Of
the United States during the fiscal year
just closed, as compared with the pre-
vious year, will probably aggregate
over three hundred millions of dollars
by far the greatest in our history
and yet the proportion of our trade
carried in American vessels was the
lowest of any previous year.
