Cleveland seems determined to be revenged on Gorman. A special says: "Public Printer Benedict discharged about three hundred employees frqjn the Government Printing office today who had been appointed on the recommendation jof Senator Gorman. These men were let out, it is said, on an order from the White House and it is an incident of the war waging between the President and Senator Gorman, growing cut of the tariff fight”

“how can we face the people AFTER INDULGING IN SUCH OUTRAGEOUS DISCRIMINATIONS AND VIOLATION OF PRIVCIPLE ?” —Cleveland’s letter to Wilson ■ ■ on the Senate bill. But there are provisions in this BILL WHICH ARE NOT IN LINE WITH HONEST TARIFF REFORM AND IT CONTAINS INCONSISTENCIES AND CRUDITIES WHICH OUGHT NOT TO APPEAR IN ANY TARIFF LAWS OF ANY KIND. ■—Cleveland’s letter to Ca filings when the bill became •« law. Abraham Lincoln said that he thought that he knew enough to know that “When an American paid twenty dollars for steel to an English manufacturer, America had the steel and England had the twenty dollars. BSZZOEn he paid twenty dollars for steel to an American manufacturer America had both the steel and the twenty dollars.”

Union Township Republicans.

The Republicans of Union tp., had a good convention last Saturday, and they nominated a good ticket as follows: For Trustee, James L. Babcock. For Assessor, John F. McColly. For Justice, Norman Brooks. “ F. M. Goff. For Constable, James Hill. ' “ Richard MaUatt,The nominations were all made by acclamation. The man who gets 82.00 per day and lives on 82.00 per day may not care if his wages are reduced to 81.00 per day if the cost of the same living is reduced to 81.00 per day; but the man. who is in debt must do twice as much work to pay the 82.00 that he owes and the millionaire gets twice as much work done for the 52.00 he has saved up. In this lies the secret of democratic purpose. The party is seeking to reduce labor to slavery, j us t aa. it. was under democratic rule in the South before the war, and to exalt capital.

Editor Republican: The editor of the “Dimmy-cratic Sentinel” thinks I am from the slums and dregs of creation. For the sake of .the irgument grant it. Does that mean that I must always remain in that condition and always vote to keep myself and my friends there? There are good men, who are conscientious and upright who are democrats, but too many of them rather keep men poor and ignorant than have them cease to vote the democratic ticket. It is true as I said before, the plentier the slums and dregs, the larger the democratic majorities; but there are large numbers of conscientous democrats who voted the ticket two years ago who are now dissatisfied with the party and especially its broken promises of better wages, better prices for farm products, and less prices for the things they have to buy, and many of them will vote the Republican ticket in November and still others will vote the populist ticket. So many have gone over to the populists that the eighteen bosses who indorsed the populist ticket last week thought that was the best thing they could do. The editor of the Sentinel promised last week to publish the Democratic county ticket this week. I wonder who he can fool by saying that. It will be the Populist ticket, with one poor lone democrat as a kind of Democratic tail-holt for them to hang ' on to. Speaking of Judge Hammonds denial of the Pharos-Sentinel charge against him, McEwen says the Judge should have seen the word “if” there. That js the very word the devil used when he tempted our Savior after the forty days fast. Oh! Mac, you are not smarter than the .devil. You cannot mislead Judge Hammond nor any other men who read and think for themselves.

THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

The County Commissioners were in regular September session, last week, and came back Tuesday of this week to finish up their work. Saloon licenses were granted to John P. Kosky, of Rensselaer, George A. Strickfaden, of Rensselaer, and James F. Ellis, of Remington. The vacation of an alley in Remington, as petitioned for by N. F. Merritt, fffls three pages of record. The law requires many formalities in proceedings of that character.

The town of Wheatfield was declared legally incorporated, and was divided into three districts, or wards. The consideration of a large number of claims took un the greater part of the session. The various township and town tax levies, as fixed by the Trustees and Town Boards, were put on the record. The county levy is fixed at 43 cents for county revenue, and 2. cents for gravel road repairs. This aggregates the same as last year, although 1 cent is taken off the county revenue and aided to the road fund. Robert Platt is appointed gravel road superintendent, for the new roads in Marion tp., at $1.50 per day; and $3.00 for himself and team when the lAe of the latter is necessary. An order was entered requiring the Monon Co., to keep a watchman at the Main street crossing, from 7 a. m> to 7 p. m., every day.

DEFUNCT TREASURY.

TARIFF AND FINANCIAL BLUNDERING THE CAUSE. The Democratic 7 Party !■ Hopelessly Aa= - competent to Do Anything Except Plunder the Masses of Work and Earnings—Hot Shot. Just before the country passed into control of the present administration, i Jan. 31, 1893, the gold reserve in the ' national treasury amounted to SIOB,- j 000,000. QA year later, Jan. 3), 1894, it had been reduced to $65,000,000. By , the aid of a. 850,000.000 bond gold loan, j and the premiums of $8,000,000 on that ] loan, the reserve gwas again restored above its legal limit of $100,000,000. Last month, July 23, the gold reserve had again fallen to $60,375,695. Deducting therefrom the $50,000,000 gold lohn and the SS, 000,090 of premiums on the loan, we would have only $2,375,695 remaining as the balance of the treausry’s gold reserve to maintain the credit of the eouiitrY after less than eighteen months of a democraticadministration that has threatened the country with free trade Thus: NATIONAL GOLD RESERVE. Jan, 31, 1893... .$108,000,000 July 23, 1894 $60,375,965 Deduct: Gold 10an...... . . $50,000,000 Premiums 8,000,000 58,000,000 Balance without 10an....... $5,375,965 No account has been here taken of the $10,000,000 in gold secured from New York bankers last month, by a transfer of funds, in Order to relieve the treasury gold fund. Without this $10,000,000 and without the loan the gold reserve would have been com-

THE GOLD GOES.

pletely wiped out of existence, and there would have been a deficiency of $7,624,035 in meeting the demands for gold that have actually been made upon the treasury with not a dollar of gold security left for the payment of treasury gold notes. This is the result of less than eighteen months of a democratic administration and the fear of free trade.

DECREASED USE OF WOOL.

A Large Falling--Off in Our Manufacture K —-- The Ameiican clip of 1893, the largest ever known, will have passed into consumption by the end of the fiscal year, June 30. For the nine months ending March ?1, the imports of raw wool were nearly 100,000,000 pounds below those for the same period of the previous year, and estimates on this basis for the whole twelve months would indicate a falling off of about 120,000,000 pounds, "a decrease of 71% per cent for the„year in the imports of raw wool. The decrease in imports of manufactures of wool estimated on the same basis together with the raw wool, shows a falling off in the total imports for the present year of 105,000,000 pounds of wool It is eaiunated that the American people will have consumed during the present fiscal year only 481,000,000 pounds of unwashed wool, or less than one-fifth of the world’s production, as against 613,000,000 pounds, or over one-fourth of the world’s* supply, consumed in the previous year. Notwithstanding the increase of 31,000,000 pounds in the domestic clip of last year, a falling off in the consumption of 134,000,-

The Knock-out in November.

000 pounds has taken place in the United States. While there has been an increased consumption of American grown wool, the total consumption shows a large decrease, which has fallen ent r-1- tr »ri the imported article.

A Democratic Liar Unmasked.

We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. C. K. Kennedy, [editor of the Review, Villisca, lowa, in which he inclosed the following article: There is a firm at Eagle Pass, Texas, said J.B. Ware, who has lived there for years, that sells Ames’ shovels. They cost them $6 per dozen. The same firm has a store just over the river in Mexico. There they sell the same shovel, bought of the same firm, and what do they- cost? Only $2.90 per dozen. Who gets the extra

“Tariff Reform.”

ITS EFFECT ON LABOR.

$3.10 which all this vast country of ours pays on each and every dozen used? Is it the government? Does the laborer who makes the shovel receive it as a present? “No,” answers the last two questions. It is the protected manufacturer. We want every reader to remember when he goes to the hardware store to buy a common shovel with which to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, that a millionaire manufacturer reaches into his pocket and takes out 25 cents more than a legitimate profit, in the name of “protection.” What . is true of shove Iff is true of nearly all hardware. Protection, thy name is “thief.” This was clipped from a l&cal democratic paper in lowa. We referred it to the Ames company, which manufacture shovels, and; asked them to furnish us with the facts. Here is their reply: North Easton, Mass., August, 1824. Dear Sib: In reply to the letter of Mr. W. F. Hakeman about our Shovels of same quality being sold at Eagle Pass, Texas, at $6 per dozen and over the line in Mexico at $8.90 per dozen, it is the same old lie that was circulated in spring 1892, and we enclose you a copy of letter written to Mr. Henderson July 3,1893 s The present price of our best Ames quality crucible steel No. 2 size shovel to the largest trade is SB.IO net, and our cheapest shovel is $2.75 net-per dozen. The $6 shovel mentioned must have been our fourth or fifth grade and the $2.90 our very poorest Our Amrf quality of goods have never been sold at anywhere near the price mentioned —say SO. The verv lowest price for ! our poorest shovel is $2.75 net per dozen, delivered in New York, and freight would have to be added to Mexico. And we sell them at same price to large jobbers and export trade in all cases. Yours truly, Oakes A. Ames, President

They Were a Long Time Reaching It.

Cheap Wages Competition.

The Japan Mail, published at Yokohama, is authority for the following, in regard to the wages of mill operatives in Japan; also as to the value of Japanese money and the cost of coal, all of which may throw some light upon the problem of successful industrial competition with the “Yankees of the east:” The daily wage of a factory girl in Hiogo is 9 sen, whereas in Tokio it is 13 sen, and 16,000 pounds of coal, costing from 22 to 23 yen in the latter city, can be had in the former for from 18 to 19 yen. One yen equals a Mexican dollar. One Mexican dollar equals 50 cents United States gold. One sen l-l(>o of a yen or % cent gold, Nine sen for a girl per day is equivalent to 4% cents gold per day. Wages of a girl for one year, or 300 days, $13.50 gold, or $27 silver, per year. Coal at 19 yen for five tons equals about $1.90 per ton.

I® ■ J ~A STRANCE CASE. / > How an Enemy was Foiled. The following graphic statement will be read with intense interest: “I cannot describe the numb, creepy sensation that existed in my arms, hands and legs. I had to rub and beat those parts until they were sore, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of them. In addition, I had a strange weakness in my back and around my waist, together with an indescribable ‘gone* feeling in toy stomach. Physicians said It was creeping paralysis, from which, according to their universal conclusion, there is no relief. Once it fastens upon a person, they say, it continues its insidious progress until it reaches a vital point and the sufferer dies. Such was my prospect. I had been doctoring a year and a half steadily, but with no particular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of Dr Miles’ Restorative Nervine, procured a liottle and began using it. Marvelous as it may seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest indication of Its return. I now feel as well as I ever did, and have gained ten pounds in weight, though I had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine on my recomendation, and it has been as satisfactory in their cases as in mine.”—James Kane, La Rue, O.

FISHING WITH A BLACKSNAKE.

The Reptile Wag a Born Angler and Fond of the Sport. Here is a snake story from a Bechuanaland paper, which we do not remember having seen before: A Barberton man who goes to church regularly was one day walking along the banks of Concession creek eating a sandwich, and on account of the usual disparity between meat and bread, he threw the redundant piece into the water. linmedialety a swarm of yellow fish bubbled round it fighting for the mouthful. The man searched his pockets for fishing tackle, but all in vain, and he was just beginning to die of despair when his eyes lighted on a big blacksnake. At that moment he remembered hotv his father used to tell him that blacksnakes wore very expert in catching fish, lie, therefore, grabbed the reptile by the tail, carried it to the river and hold it over the struggling fish. The snake proved itself a born angler, and in .he course of an hour the man had capt ired forty tine fish. A few’ days later, as he was walking in the same place he felt something rubbing against his leg, and, looking down, he saw his friond, the blacksnake, eager for more sport.
