A Bad Cold
If not ipeedily relieved, may lead to ferloot
Usues. Where there is dlUculty of breath
ing, expectoration, or soreness of the throat
and bronchial tabes, With a constantly irri
tating cough, the very best remedy is Ayer's
Cherry Pectoral. It removes the phlegm,
soothes irritation, stops eonghtag, and in
duces repose. As an emergency medicine,
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral should be in every
household.
"There is nothing better for coughs than
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I use no other
preparation." Annie 8. Butler, 160 Pond st.,
Providence, E. I.
I Suffered severely from bronchitis;
but was
CURED BY
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It saved my life."
Geo. B. Hunter, Goose River, N. 8.
"About a year ago I took the worst cold
that ever a man had, followed by a terrible
cough. The best, medical aid was of no
avail. At last I began to spit blood, when
It was supposed to be all over with me.
Every remedy failed, till a neighbor recom
mended Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I took,
half a teaspoonful of this medicine, three
times a day, regularly, and very soon
began to improve. My cough left me, my
sleep was undisturbed, my appetite re
turned, my emaciated limbs gained flesh and
strength and, to-day, thanks to the Pectoral,
I am a well man.' H. A. Bean, 28 Winter

WHAT THE PRESS OF OUR STATE HAS TO

As it Appears to Our Bretheren of tho Quill in

"The Republicans in the Senate

no one here doubts their intention to
pass it if they win in the coming
election." Hon. S. B. Alexander,
Ex President State Alliance and
Chairman of Ex-Committee.

When some of the Third party

some of them will before they are

A big strike in the lumber mills of
Wisconsin. Lumber is one of the
protected industries. According to
Senator Aldrich our, "industries were
never more prosperous, more people
employed, nor wages so high." Sen
ator Sawyer, a big lumber baron, has
contributed $30,000 to keep the thing
gotng, while the men who work for
wages and make the lumber are on a
strike.
Nothing is to be gained by hte
election of a Republican, however
unobjectionable he may be, for the
Republican party is committed to the
money power, both soul and body;
and every burden under which we
groan is the direct and positive
fruits of their legislation. ''Then why
send one of that ilk to Congress?
The last Republican of the fifth dis
trict ever sent to Congress (Mr.

Letters received yesterday from
Goldsboro and Wilson brine the

opinion in favor of the old Democrat

there has never been &ny good and
sufficient reason why any white man
should desert the one party of real
reform, the one costitutional, law
abiding party to go after strange
and novel political measures that
have not the endorsement of a single
level-headed, acknowledged States
man in all the land. We hope that
all of the well meaning, truly patri
otic Democrats who have been per
suaded away will quickly return to
the old safe shelter, and the old
home. Come back and help all good
and true men to save North Caro

country from Radical control and

The People's Party convention in
Ohio was a daisy. The Statesmen
who figured there improved on the
sub-treasury scheme by demanding
that the government issue at once, if
not sooner, $500,000,000 treasury
notes to be divided out in install
ments of about $10,000,000 to the
States, and then to the counties in
proportion to the length of roads in
each county, so much per mile. And
they topped this off with another de
mand that.the Government mannfac
ture and sell liquors. When the
Government runs all the, railroads,
telegraphs, telephones, pays for mak
ing all the roads, and makes our

THE SITUATION OF HOMESTEAD.
IIojYkstead, Pa. Aug. 19. It is
evident that many of the non-union
men in the mill have come to stay.
About sixteen families are now quar
tered in the company houses arid
others are orepared to come when
the houses are ready. On the other
hand, a large number of locked-out
men have secured work elsewhere
and moving away from Homestead.
About fifteen ;went to Youngstown
yesterday and others are preparing
to moye to the new steel . mill at
New Castle.
Notices were thrown inside the
mill fence this morning, warning the
men at work to quit by to-morrow or
take the consequences. Repairs on
the new Bessemer mill are progress
ing favorable ana the company ex
pects to start it Monday. Two open
hearth furnaces will also be charged
on that day. The number of men
yesterday was 1804. Thirteen men
was discharged and 19 quit. It is
expected to have 2,000 men working
by the end of next week.
FELL FROM A RUNNING TRAIN.
II. J. Crumley is a baggage mas
ter on the L. & D., railroad. He
was on the incoming train yester
day afternoon which 'arrives here at
:45. When the train reached the
station Crumley was missed and a
search through the train failed to
find him. The engine and baggage
car, with a party of those connected
with the road, went back on the look
for him.
He was found at the house of a
farmer, about five miles from town,
considerably bruissd and his shoulder
dislocated. He had walked to the
farmer's house, a distance of half a
mile, after he fell from the train.
He told how the accident happened
and was rational when the party first!
reached him, but very soon there
after became delirious.
His account is that he had been in
the habit of sitting in a chair near
the door of the baggage car, On this
occasion he had placed his hand on
the back of the chair and was in the
act of sitting down, when the chair
tilted outward, he lost his balance,
and went out through the car door.
Fortunately he struck gtound in a
soft 8 pot of the road;: . .
He was brought to town and taken
to the residence of Mry Beavers, on

PLACE IN OUR
The Democratic Parly can do Naught Else
Than Protect the Poor and Frugal Men and
Women of Our Lands. ' :
. "- . . .i.ijr-j..-: .
Extracts from speeches on "American Citizen
ship." DelivweU by Grover Cleveland, Nov.
3, 1892. " " ,y
I have spoken of frugality - and
economy i as important factors v in
American life. -1 find no fault" with
the accumulation of wealth, aud 'am
glad to see energy and enterprise re
ceive their fair reward. But I be
lieve-it is safest in the bands of
those who have been made strong
wd self-reliant la. their citeaship, by
self-denial and by the surroundings
of an enforced economy. Thrift and
careful watchfulness of expenditure
among the people tend to secure a
thrifty government; and cheap and
careful living on the part of individ
uals ought to enforce economy in the
public expenditures.
When, therefore, men in higbA
places of trust, charged with the re
sponsibility of making and executing
our laws, "not only condemn but flap-
pantly deride cheapness' and econ
omy within the homes of our people,,
and when the expenditures of the
government are reckless and waste
ful we may be sure that . something
is wrongs with us, ands that'a condi
tion exists which calls for a vigorus
and resentful defense of American
ism, by every man worthy (o be
called an American citizen.
Upon the question of cheapness
and economy, whether it relates to
individuals or to the operations of
the government, the Democratic
party true to its traditions, will un
alterably remain attached to our plain
and frugal people. They are espec
ially entitled to the watchful care
and protection of their government;
and when they are all borne down
with burdens greater than they can
bear; and are made the objects of
scorn by hard task-masters, we will
not leaye their side. : As the great
German Reformer, insisting upon his
religions convictions, in the presence
of his accusers exclaimed, "I can do
nought else. Here I stand. God
help me," so however much others
may mock and deride cheapness, and
the poor and frugal men and women
of our land, we will stand forth in
defence of their simple Americanism
defiantly proclaiming : "We can do
nought else. Here we stand."
Thus when the question is raised
whether bur people shall have the
necesaries of life at a cheaper rate,
we are not ashamed to confess our
selves "in favor of cheaper coats,"
and we are not disturbed by the hint
that this seems "necesarily to in
volve in a cheaper man or woman
under the coats."
When the promoter of ' a party
measure which invades every home
in the land with higher prices, de
clares that "cheap and nasty go to
gether and this whole system of
cheap things is a badge of poverty;
for cheap merchandize means cheap
men and cheap men mean a 1 cheap
country," we indignantly repudiate
such an interpretation of American
sentiment.
, And wnen anotner ope, high m
party councils, who has become no
torious as the advocate of a ' contri
vance to perpetuate partisan supre
macy by outrageous interference
with the suffrage, announces that
"the cry for cheapness, is . un
American,'', we scornfully reply that
his speech does not indicate the
slighest conception of true Ameri
camsm.
What was the occasion of these
condemnations ot cheapness and
what had honest American men and
womeBf done, or what were they likely
to'do"that' they RhouJ'd Ve threatened
I wtjh theepitbet's "cheap," "nasty
ana run-American.
It , is hard to speak patiently as
we answer these questions. Step by
step a, vast . .numberof . our. people
have been led on, " following' blindly
in the path of party .Tley had
been tilled with .hate: and'sectiona
prejudice ; they had been cajoled with
misrepresentation and false pro mis
es; they "had ' been corruptedwith!
money and appeals ' to their selfish
ness. All these' things led up' to
their final betrayal to satisfy, the
demands Of those who , had supplied
the fund of their corruption..
This betrayal was palpable y and it
was ' 'impossible to deny otj 'COBcea.
the fact, that the pretended relief
tendered to the people ' in fufiHment
of a 'promise. to lighten , jthe'rclens;
pf their life, i made t, by the party ;en

: The people were at last aroused
and; demanded ..an, explanation
They had been taught for one nun
dred years that in the distribution
benefits. their government should be
administered with equity and justice.
hey had-, learned that.wealtbj was
ndispensable 'to respectability and
that it did not entitle its pbsessprs
to special government favors Hum
hle imen t with scanty ' incomes had
been incouraged dy the influence and
the spijit of our institutions to prac
tice economy and frugality to the
end that they might enjoy to the ut
most the rewards of their toil. The
influence of the American home 'was
still about them. In their simplicity
they, knew nothing of a new dispen
sation which made cheapness ; dis
reputable and they still loved the
eheap coats of Lincoln and Garfield,
and hundreds of the countrymen
whom they held in veneration. . And
thus these unsophisticated Ameri
cans, unconscious of their wrong do-
ng. demanded the redemption of
party pledes and clamored for cheap
ness, in order that they might, pro
vide the necessaries and comforts of
fe for themselves and their families
at the lowest possible cost. .
The leaders of the party, which
was caught in the actof robbery, and!
which was arranged by the people J
for a violation of its trusts, were
forced by their sad predicament to a
esperate expedient. To attempt to
reverse the current of true Ameri
canism and discredit to the most
honorable sentiments belonging to
American manhood, were the disg
raceful tasks of those who insulted
our people by , the announcement of
the doctrine that to. desire cheapness
was' to love nastiness and to practice
economy and frugality was un-American.
!. -. . ';
Thus do we plainly see that when
the path pointed out by our patriot-
sm and American citizenship is for
saken by a party in power, for
schemes of selfishness and for. un
scrupulous conspiracies lor partisan
success, its course inevitably leads
to unjust favoritism, neglect of the
interest of the masses, entire prever
sion of the mission of republican in
stitutions, and in some form, to the
most impudent and outrageous insult
to true American sentiment.
The noise of a recent political
revolution is still heard throughout
the land ; the people have just demon
strated thatjihere is a point beyond
which they cannot be led by blind
partisanship, and that they are, quite
competent to examine and correctly
decide political questions cocerning
their rights and their welfare. They
have unmercifully ; resented (. every
attack upon true American manhood,
and have taught party leaders that
though slow to anger, they take ter-
tible revenges when betrayed. They
have decreed that the Decalogue has
a place in our politics, for they have
enforced the command "Thou5 halt
not . steal," and have '. rendered' 'an
emphatic verdict against; those .who
have borne false witness.
