DEATHS HARVEST.
Well Known Residents And others
Who Have Passed Away.
Petry.

Harry T. Petry, whose case attracted
widespread attention four or I'VE years
ago, died at his home on west Main
street, Friday, June 5, about $50 p. M:
after a weeks illness at the age OF
"a years and 16 days.
For some months Petry was an IN
mate some years ago of the johns HOP
kins Hospital suffering with tubercu-
losis of the bones of both legs. Ampu-
tation after amputation was performed
until at last nothing of the limbs re-
manned but two short stumps. Ihen
the diseased portion of the legs ap-
peared to have been entirely removed
and he was dismissed from the nos
pital. Both arms were paralyZed and
he was helpless.
He was native of New Windsor and
returned to that place for a short time,
and then came to this city, where he
had lived every since. He was without
means, but his pitiable condition ap-
pealed so strongly to public sympathy
that he had never been in want. A
little store was stocked for him and
funds provided sufficient to enable him
to employ an assistant, who cared for
him and looked after his interests,
He was a resourceful man and fer
tile in inventing schemes to replenlsh
his purse. Every pleasant day his
wheeled couch or chair was seen on the
streets, and his helplessness was
silent but effective appeal for aid. Re-
Gently he started an endless-chaln ap-
peal for help, accompanying it with
history of his case, with very salts
factory results, about $500 having
been realized from it up to this time.
Petry was unmarried. His father
and mother are living at New Windsor.
His father is afflicted, and, it is said,
has not been able to walk for 20 years.
His funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon at Pipe Creek church. Elder
Abraham Snader having charge of the
services. Interment was in the ceme-
terry near the church. The pallbearers
were Chester Bankard, Stouffer
Lowell, Forrest Otto and Arthur
Crumbacker. Harvey Bankard under
taker.

DOES NOT AFFECT WAGES

The Republicans are talking tariff more or less these days, and
unblushingly continue % make assertions which have been proven
false time ana time again. One of the arguments presented to a n aud
ieuce of workingmen is the claim that the tariff represents the differ
ence between the American workingmens wages and those Of his COM
Englshman, because the tariff protects him from the fret competition
of English goods; and If the tariff fell the wages would fall in proper
ton
There ire several reasons why this isn't so. In the first place the
wages Of English workngmen are much higher than those paid in ny
important protectonist country with the single exception OF me United
States. If the high protective tariff possesses the virtues ascribed to
IL. why does 1t not produce similar effects in Germany, France, Austria
and Russia, all Of which have large manufacturing industries with a
highly protected home market? Yet, in all these countries the wages
OF the working classes are much lower than in England.
Another fatal objection to this pet Republican theory is h at M
same comparative superiority of wages was possessed when UGH lower
tariffs were current in this country Again, the great majority OF Ia
borers in the United States are employed in agricultural and in other
lines which gain n advantage from the protective tariff, while they
reap all the disadvantages of exorbtant prices for the necessaries OF
ue
In former campaigns the Republicans we're dinging it into the rs
since been abandoned, and the present campaign will probably be the
last time an effort will be made to fool the workngmen with the plea
that their wages depend upon the tariff schedules-Sat Lake Herald
- AS AN EXAMPLE Of the desperate straits into which the Repub-
ncans have fallen, it is noted that there is a Macedonian cry from Pitts
burg for Roosevelt ito make a speech in that city. Even the steel bar-
ons are getting shaky.
If THE PROTECTED interests are 81 cocksure of the election
of Taft, why dopt they start up their mills and factories, instead of
waiting until the morning after election. Faith without works is dead.
