Canada's Bad Bargain.

In granting British manufacturers an
increase in the preferential Tariff
amounting to 3S l-3 per cent, without
obtaining a solitary concession of any
kind in favor of Canadian exports, the
Dominion Government has furnished a
fine object lesson in economies. 1t illus
trates the unlimited possibilities of Free
Trade in the direction of egregious folly.
Oanada's surplus foodstuffs, or any other
things which she has to sell, are received
in the British markets exactly as the ex-
por:s of other countries are received
that is, duty free. Therefore the Cana
dian farmer gets no benefit from the
preferential Tariff. How does the Can
madam manufacturer fare? Very much
worse than the farmer, for he is forced to
compete with British made goods admit
ted at reduced rates of duty. The Cana
dian woolen industry is threatened with
extinction by reason of Sir Wilfred Lau-
rier's bad bargain. The wooden manu-
acturers have protested in vain against
having the ground cut from under their
feet in this foolish fashion. Other Cana
dian industries will be crippled, many of
them ruined, by the inflow of cheap
British goods. The Dominion wonders
why its population increased so slowly.
Free ade statemenship furnishesan an
swer to the query. AmericdH Economist.

A Convention Souvenir.

While it is known by everybody that
Mckinley will be renominated by the
republican Notional Convention to be
held in Philadelphia during the week of
the 18th, interest is no less high on that
account. 1t is admitted that the conven-
ton Will be among the greatest in his
tory on account of the importance of its
results. Every one will therefore be
anxious for souvenir of the gathering.
Approaching this the great "Phiadel-
phia Sunday Press" has arranged to give
free with every copy next Sunday June
~ a novel and attractive convention
souvenir. On ground 1O16 by 2S inches
is printed a handsome picture of the con-
vention hall, and in the pannels appear
the force of the leading Republicans who
will be prominent in the work of the con-
yention. Both, as a work of art and OH
accout ofits historic value, this picture is
certain to be eagerly sought for and
highly priced. If you want it you had

Party Prophets Fooled again.

1t is sometimes wondered why the
Democracy habitually faces and dwells
in the past. II cannot be because of its
own consistent record OF panics and OF
constitutional construction that averages
one-third of a century behind the times.
The true reason must be because the
Democrat, when he faces the future and
tries to prophesy, generally gets things
wrong, and is made ridiculous before his
prophecy is forgotten, by events that
turn out just the other way.
In fact the only Democratic manifestos
that have touch of timeliness about
them are the partys predictions. They
are liable to be proved all wrong within
a year of their utterance. For instance,
not year has elapsed since The Demo-
cratic press and oratorical talent was
cocksure that Republican extravigance
was heading the country toward debt
increase and bankruptcy. And already
the surplus is growing so stsadily that
the Secretary OF the Treasury has called
S5,OOO,OOO bonds for redemption. We are
sometimes at a loss to understand how a
Democrat can look an arithmetic or bal
ance sheet in the face.-N. Y. Press.

MARRIED.

HENDERSON-JAC SON.-Thursday,
June Z, at high noon, Mr.. John t.
Il Henderson, of East Hickory, Pa, and
Miss Edith Jackson, Of near McGraw,
Pa, by Rev. J. r. Hnlard, of Sum-
merville, Pa.
The wedding was quiet one and was
celebrated at Miss Jackson's home, near
McGraw, Warren county. Mr.. Hender-
son is the son of James Henderson of

had been employed by numbering firm.
IIo will return on next week to the South
west, but will so to Grandin, No., where
he will hold the position ofSuperintend.

salary. Mrs. Henderson will 20 with
him. Miss Jackson is well known as
one of the teachers of the county. She
has taught in the East Hickory schools
for the past four years, very satisfactorily
and very successfully. Miss Jsckson is
young woman of splendid character,
possessing many excellent qualities, not
only OF mind, but af heart and oflife. Mr..
Henderson is to be congratulated. We
are sorry TO lose John and his bride, but
our best wishes go with them to their new
home. May thev p' 'osper. We bespeak

served popularity they have always en-
joyed here and predict success for EN-

upon the legislatures OF the eeveral States.
The vital part of the proposed amend
ment reads as follows:
Section 2.-Congress shall have power
10 define, regulate, control, prohibit or
dissolve trusts, monopolios or combina-
tions, whether existing in the form of a
corporation or otherwise. The several
States may continue to exercise such
power in any manner not in conflict with
the laws of the United States.
To carry this amendment a twu-thirds
vote was required, and Isl Republicans
voted for it and l3l Democrats against it.
Three Democrats voted for it and two Re-
publicans against it.
The Democrats excuse themselves by
the ridiculous plea that the Republicans
wanted to give Congress full power to
crush out injurious trusts because it
would help them in the next Presidential
campaign! c.FtrFar
Is not that the motive of all good legis-
lation-to conform to the will of the peo-
pie and earn their confidence. If the
Democrats are opposed to obnoxious
trusts, Why should they kill measure
designed for their destruction simply be-
cause Il was a Republican measure.
Congressman Littlefeld of Maine, in a
speech that aroused the Republicans to
great enthusiasm, told how the Demo-
Gratis had been declaining against trusts,
how Mr.. Bryan himself had demanded a
constitutional amendment giving Con-
gress full power to deal with them, and
urging them to prove that all this was
not hypocritioal bombast aud cheap dem
agoguery by voting for the proposed res
olution.
This vote completely unmasked the
Democratic party on the trust issue, and
everything they say during the next
Presidential campaign on the trust ques-
tion will be regarded as a joke PUnTSW-

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of tho Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed deafness is the result, and I'M
less tho inflammation can re taken out and
this tube restored TO its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)

The Trust Question.

The insincerity of the Democrats in
Congress IN their pretended hostility TO
trusts was most definitely and conclu-
sively shown by the vote in the House
of Representatives last Friday on a res
olution to submit TO the several States

Congress absolute power 10 prohibit or
dissolve trusts Of any character whatso-
ever, and conferriug tho same authority

HAVE yon heard the news from Ore
gon" This was the query which the
Democrats were ready to put to their fell
low-eountrymen on the day before the
election in that state. But they will not
put it. Their organs all over the country
were saying that Oregon was doubtful
state, and that it would be carried by the
Democrats in the election which has just
taken place. All the doubt that is now
felt by anybody regarding the majority
which Oregon will give Mckinley in
November is as TO whether that lead will
be $1,000 or only 10000 or Il, 600.

It is characteristic that those who are severe on others that they cannot bear severity. Dean Swift, the sever est satirist of his day, was one day dining with a company of gentlemen, one of whom he made the butt of his ridicule, with repeated sallies. At last the dean poured upon a piece of duck some gravy intended to be eaten with a roasted goose The unfortunate gen. tleman, seeing this, immediately said: My good dean, you surprise me-you eat duck like a goose. The company roared, and dean was so confused and mortified that he flew into rage and left the table.

STONES OF INFAMY.
Memorials of Crime That Are Found
 tr arc;ont f,on.o

in ancient GeHOa.
 Some stones of Genoa tell of treach- Cry and crime, and as stones of infamy are, we believe, peculiar to Genoa. They belong to later and more degen- crate times than those of the noble Dorias and their victories. Here is one inscription on pillar in the Via del Campo: 'sIn infamous memory Of Julius Caesar Vacehero, most aban- #doned of men, who, for having conspired against the republic, with his head cut of, with his goods confscated, with his sons banished, and with his house destroyed expiated his well-earned punishment. in the year of grace 1628." This Vacehero, man of low birth, but wealthy, aspired to high dignity in the town and plotted to betray the place to Charles Emmanuel, of Savoy, and to massacre the Doge and leading mo- bles. He had his reward, as the above inscription plainly shows. Here is an- other stone of infamy: sTo John Paul Balbi, worst of men, a vile assassin, clipper of gold coin and an utterer of false.a notorious thief and an infamous extortioner of tribute. declared state traitor for eonspiring against the re- public, his property eonfiscated, his sons prescribed, he himself condemned to the halter, this stone has been raised to his eternal shame in the year 1650." This Balbi was engaged in q plot to betray the town to the French in the time of Mazarin. Although his plot was discovered, he contriyed to ef- feet his escape, and spared the labors of the hangman. The third stone tells of Raphael della Torre, despoiler by every artif1ce of other mems goods, a vile murderer, an associate of thieves, a pirate in his own waters, traitor and an enemy of the state, who in cured for plotting the ruin of the re- public punishments less great than his crimes, was sentenced to be twice hanged, to have his property confis- cated, his sons banished, and his houses destroyed. Through this last ing monument of infamy may his name be loathsome. Year of our Lord 1872"

GREAT SALT LAKE.
No Living Thing in It and No Danger
 Of Being Drowned.


 The water of the Great Salt lake, Utah, is clear and transparent. with q bottom of fine white sand and a mar gin of incrusted salt. It is one of the purest and most concentrated primes in the whole world Its waters give sus- tenance to 10 living thing; there is not the smallest insect or worm to fTighten the most tinid bather. and the bathing is the most perfect sea bathing in che whole of North Amer1~ ca or in Europe. No human body can s{ak in it. One may actually walk the water, no matter how deep 1t is. Your body will persisitently rise up, the shoulders above the surface, or you may even sit down in it. It's wonder flI buoyahey must be experienced to be realized. No knowledge of swim mi&g is necessary; one may enter tho lake without the slightest fear; all you have to do is to lie down and float. But to swim in it, that is an- other thing! When your hands are put under the water to take a stroke, your feet, like Banquo's ghost, will not s3o NOh u. IL l5 1lIpOSSlDI6 to keep more than one end of your body under water at time. You cannot swim, but if you are man you can float on your back, with your arms crossed under your head, and smoke your pipe CT cigar with as much ease as if in your own room. The water is so salt Ahat 1t cannot be swallowed without great danger of strangulation; small drop in the eye, too, gives much pain. But, in spite of all the dangers, bath ing in the Great Salt lake is refreshing and invigerating, notwithstanding that the body must be rebathed in fresh water afterward to remove the im- mense quantity of salt which adheres to the skin. It is hard work to make any headway, eyenagainst the smallest waves. Nearly half a million people bathe in the Great Salt lake every year; they come from all over the world, and tourists are beginning to realize that Salt Lake City and the magnificent surroundings present the greatest scope of novelty, and is des- tined to be leading watering place.
