POLITICS IN PIKE

The campaign in Pike is being en-
livened by the presence OF the caud
dates and their friends and workers
Palmer and Brodhead for Congress
are each striving for the voters favol
and in Northampton and Carbon es
pecially a vigilsnt campaign is being
conducted. Those counties arV
really the battlefield and Brodhead
in the former is claiming advantage
because Of his efforts IN settling the
strike in the steel mills at Bethlehem
while the latter claims to have
found many supporters in tho slate
belt. For Senator, Burnett and
Huffman are making an active can
vsss, they being the only candidates
in the field. Each is making claims
and either would make an excellent
democratic representative. Burnett
has experience having been at Harris
burg from Monroe County and his
record Is clean. Huffman is a
younger man but has push and
energy, and like Burnett can express
bis ideas. 1t is mp 70 the Democrats 8
to choose between them and FORUM
sieiy no calamity will snsue let the
choice fall or either.
The representative matter here
seems quiet. How far Lewis and
Adams have progressed in their
campaigns is not known. Democrats
SEEM Indifferent in the matter and
were there no other motives to impel
voters to come out it is highly prob
able the vote would be v2ry light.
Lewis having made one effort and
stated his position with reference to
appropriations for the county the
people cannot be mistaken in their
estimate Of his worth to them as q
representative. Adams is an exper-
iment, and like all experiments you
never know just how they are COM
ing out. II is idle to boast that the
democrats will elect either a govern
or or a majority of the House in this
State this fall. Right or wrong the
tariff is the lodestone which attracts
the mass OF votes and those depend
ent on our manufacturing industries
Will not submit to have it crippled
TO their detriment, nor will they
vote to take the State from under it,
protection. These are plain truths
and wise democrats so admit. Pal.
mer may make a speech araaigning
the republican party for its remiss
ness but should he vote free trade
his name would be Dennis, and he
knows it. Viewed in the light of q
sure republican house at Harrisburg
the old question, which has been
answered twice by sending a man Of
that stripe there, with resultant
benefit to the county, again confronts
the voters. Politics aside for the
moment it is a question of economy
for the people. Improvements are
costly and the county is poor. If the
state will supply funds to build your
dikes and help build your roads why
not let it. 1t may be asserted as q
fact that no democrat you can send
from this county can squeeze a reput
lican house for money for his constit'
uents and a republican can. There.
fore you are voting on q plain bust
ness proposition. money in your
pocket or out Of it. Which do you

TARIFF RULES WAGE SCALE
Reduction In the Ono Must Inevitably
Mean Reduction In the
Other.

| AS the tariff goes up or down, so
wages move up or down. Frank A.
Munsey, whose Washington paper, the
Times, has been looked upon as a
stanch advocate Of tariff revision, gave
an interview at -alzburg Germany, to
the New York Herald, that affords lit
tie comfort to the insurgents III the
tariff is reduced" says the logical Mr..
Munsey, we cannot maintain the high
wage rate now in force. You can't
have both. A lowering of the tariff
would invite an influx of foreign goods
produced by cheap labor, and wages
In our country would have to go down
with the tariff as matter of business
expediency or business existence" 1t
Is for the American workingman to
choose which he will have-adequate
protection with high wages or INSULT
Client protection with low wages and a
low standard of living.
The minority report OF the senate
committee on wages and prices, whose
superficial and partisan conclusions
have now been made public, takes the
ground that If the protective tariff be
removed and prices allowed to sink,
the question Of wages may be trusted
to take care of itself Comparing free
trade Great Britain with various pro-
tectionist countries of Europe, the re-
port has the imprudence to say: The
general testimony is that the rate OF
wages for all mechanical trades is sub
stantially higher in Great Britain than
in those protectionist countries, while
the prices Of necessities are lower,
leaving the Englishman a wider mar
gin to live upon" The report cites a
table published in Whitaker's Alma.
nae to show that. In the 60 years dur.
ing which Great Britain has had free
trade. wages have increased S1.7 per
cent. and prices only three per cent.
If these figures be correct, then wages
60 years ago were fearfully low and
out of all proportion with prices. Rep

sents a comparison of wages for an

WHY THE LANDSLIDE
SIMPLE EXPLANATION OF DEMO.
CRATIC VICTORIES.
Periodical Desire for a Turnover In
National Affalrs-People Did Lit
tie Sitting of Men and
Their Principles.
"Jeshurun waxed fat, and Kicked"

"Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked"
AS 1t was in the days of Moses, so
1t is now. A long period of fat and
prosperous times breeds the ferment
Of wide and deep unrest. A nation
grows discontented in Its money-mak-
ing and yields to the old tendency to
upset what is on top and bring low
what is high. The desire to smash
things comes to the surface with re-
sistless force and little discrimination.
The last Democratic Congress went
out of existence In 1895. In the 10
years since then new generation has
grown up. 1t has had no personal
knowledge of the effects Of a Demo-
cratic control of the lawmaking ma
chinery of the national government
And II seems that every generation
must burn its own fingers.
This, in the large view, is the mean
ing of the general and emphatic Dem
ocratic victories. The voters did little
sitting of men and the principles they
stood for. taking the country as a
whole. They voted for the party that
is out, against the party that Is In.
1t was q landslide for turnover in
national affairs.
Certain individuals ride the tidal
wave of Democratic success in way
which cannot fail to fix the attention
Of the country. Governor Judson Har-
mon is the chief of these special bene-
ficiaries of his party's sweeping tri-
umphs. He stands today by far the
most conspicuous and commanding fig
ure in the national Democracy. He
is almost certain to be the next Demo-
cratic candidate for president.
The great special interests in big"
business that have been the target at

blindly and with misdirected energy,

cial favorite given a fine start toward
