Pennsylvania and the Tariff.
Csenator Quay at PittsburgJ


"~HE TIME has come when the
Republicans in Pennsylvania
Il for their own sakes must
cease intestine strife and
form line of battle for resistance TO the
common enemy. We have recently seen
the sheet lightning and heard the voice
of coming storm in the northwestern
states, We have listened to the utter
ances of our brethren in Iowa, Wiscon-
sin and elsewhere, and have witnessed
the dramatic and pathetic exit from
of the national house of representa-
tives.
The tariff is the life of Pennsylvania
The present tariff fulflls all national
requirements and oppresses no person
or interest, 1t needs no revision. Re-
vision of the tariff means reduction OF
the tariff Reduction OF the tariff
means reduction of the profits of the
manufactures. Reduction of the profits
of the manufacturer means reduction OF
the wages of the laborer. Reduction OF
the wages OF the laborer means loss OF
business to those who supply the
laborer with the necessaries and com
forts of life.
We in Pennsylvania are satisfied with
existing conditions, and as to revision
Will have none Agitators may cry

cereSt congratulations and
IL best wishes to the winners
in its latest Educational
Contest. They have worked long and
earnestly for the victory and it has
come wholly through merit 1t does
them credit and leaves no opening for
jealousy.
We also extend our friendly greeting
to those who did not win. 1t is a rule
Of life that many are called but few
chosen. Nothing can change that. The
most that human society can do is to
give every one fair chance. The Tri-
bune feels that it gave every contestant
fair chance. Variations in skill, per-
severance, opportunity caused the vary
ing returns at the end. but no con-
testant who worked will be the worse
for having done so. Defeat now. il
studied wisely, may be the stepping
stone to success hereafter.
This years contest, although having
to bear up against the handicap of
the strike, which continued throughout
its whole period, has been by far the
most successful yet. representing double
the returns in money and new sub
scribers made by the contest of last
year. We feel that this successful con-
clusion is largely due TO the friendly
interest and good will of our regular
patrons, as well as to the enterprise of
the alert young Americans who have
seized this excellent chance to increase
their preparation for the coming years.
10 both we extend grateful ac-
acknowledgement.

situation in this count

from Tuesday is prosperity versus har,

mongers may scrape the cutters and
the muck-heaps for the raw and fetid
materials for their pestient vocation;
the name and fame of candidates may
not escape the customary ordeals of
abuse. distortion and vituperative at
tack; mildewed phrases of calumniation
may be withdrawn from musty recesses
for another periodic onslaught upon
Quay, Connell and other leaders of the
Republican party, but these things
amuse more than they influence poll
teal action. The asnine braying and
hysterical shrieks of newspapers like
the Scranton Times, which assume that
their own lunacy is contagious: and
the vociferations of the hired apostles
of calamity who assail the public ear
with night-bird croakings of woe and
gloom-such annoyances weigh but
lightly in the scale of intelligent judg-
ment as it scrutinizes the record of Re-
publican policy and achievement.
The Democratic party has always
been vigorous in it's "barker' depart
ment. If tin horns, megaphones and
piercing defamation could stampede
public judgment, the Democracy would
never want for office. If the sins of
omission and commission of which it
is always guilty when it gets into
power could be put out of mind by
the energy with which it defames Re-
publican achievement and tries to be-
cloud public opinion by abuse and false
testimony, it would soon have it's ap-
petite for place and patronage graft
fled. But the American people are on
to the Democratic party and it's
methods. They have cut their eye
teeth. They permitted themselves to be
fooled in 1892 and it is too soon yet to
expect them to be re-buncoed.
This year the question in their minds
is how to preserve the national pros
perity. There is just one answer. Con-
tinue in power the party that made it
possible. That prosperity was not ac-
cidental. 1t came about as the calcu-
lated result of effective Republican
policy ana it can be maintained only
by the maintenance of that policy un-
broken. To this end, support the en-
tire Republican ticket. Vote for every
man on it. Deprive the Democracy of
even partial encouragement. Let it be
known throughout the land that Re-
publican Pennsylvania has not falter-
ed in party faith nor fallen so low in
Democratic quack physicians for the
alleviation of incidental and minor Re-
publican ills.

Ecccntricity Genius.

Romney, the eminent portrait painter,
was married man engaged in rustic EN-
ployment in Yorkshire when he discovered
by mere chance that he could draw. He
left his wife with about hundred pounds
in her pocket, taking less in his own, stud
led his profession in London, Paris and
Rome, and became the first portrait painter
of his day, realizing over $4,000 a year
by his art. He lived on, corresponding af
fectionately with his wife and sending her
money, but never visiting or sending for
her; and finally, after an absence of 81
years, he returned to her n ill-health and
resumed the matrimonial life SO unexpect.

The New York Journal of Com
merce does not often dip into poll
ties" but when it does it's judgment
may be considered reasonably impair
tial. Its economic preferences in
cline it more to the tariff views held
/ by most democrats, but on other
points it may be said to maintain a
noncommittal attitude. There is
some significance in its publication
of letter by it's able Washington
correspondent giving survey of the
political situation as it appears from
| the headquarters of the COMPRESSION
al committee of the two parties.
The correspondent remarks that sin
general it may be stated that the
republican organization is incom-
parably better than that of the dem
ocrats." Besides, the prevailing
prosperity is favorable to the re-
publicans. Whatever disadvantages
face the republican managers are
negative. The obstacles to demo
cratic success are positive. Says the
correspondent;
The consciousness of the lack of har-
mony in the democratic party is like a
nightmare to everyone connected with the
organization. In spite of every effort to
| cover up the jealousies between the differ
ent branches of the party they constantly
crop out at every turn. The presence of
men on the executive committee who are
strong representatives of the Cleveland
type of democracy makes the radical men
feel the necessity of taking each STEP

other hand, the conservative old democrats
on the committee are hampered in their
movements by an uneasy fear that the rad
icals will do something wrong. 1t is use
less to deny that Mr.. Bryan's visit to the
east has proved great disappointment to
good many democrats. 1t has shown that
his personal popularity Is unGiminished and
the attention he got from opponents while
N the east was much more favorab BILE than
could have been expected.
In short, says the correspondent
the democrats cannot help recognize
ing the fact that Mr.. Bryan is still
a power in the party. "The con
seriousness of this has had bad eff
feet upon democratic organization,
because it has convinced the con
servatives that Bryan cannot be dis
posed of SO easily as they thought,
and that any harmony which does
not include Mr.. Bryan will be impos-
sible.' That is no doubt fairly
accurate statement of the case. 1t
strengthens the belief III republican

it should not lead to any relaxation
of effort to make TINT triumnh &c
