Cannon Points the Danger.
As to the Parker plea that the Demo-

harm. because the Democrats have not
the power to change the tariff, Speaker
Cannon said in a speech at South Bend,
Ind. the other night: Suppose the
country takes Mr.. Parker at his word.
1t would be equivalent TO giving notice
to The country. unless there is a change
of sentiment that at the end of two
years the opposition would come into
full power We discount the future. The
manufacturer viii say, / will not pro-
ducc and trust to the future The re-
taller will say. I will buy carefully;
notice has been served that we are to
have a change of policy The farmer
will say for the same reason, L will
buy less; | will set my house in order
Everybody draws in sails."-Lancaste

Get Ready For Salt River!

boat around with him to have it handy
for his trip up Salt River the day after
election.-Norristown Herald

glad to meet the people-Johnstown
