The Centralization of Wealth. It is the boast of the Republican par- ty that since it came into power, thirty years ago, the country has increased in wealth to the extent of one hundred billions of dollars. Probably it has. These are big figures, but we have a big country and one does not feel like dis- puting a statement of this kind, with- out the facts showing to the contrary, and rather than bother hunting them up, we will admit that probably it has grown in wealth to that extent. But who has got it? Thirty years ago there was less than a half dozen millionaires in the coun- try; to-day they can be numbered by hundreds. Thirty years ago such a thing as a monopoly was unknown, and a trust, as an organized piracy, was undreamed of ; to-day we have them in every state and feel their blighting effects in every line of business. Thirty yearsago sixty per cent of our people owned their own homes, to-day less than thirty per cent. are the poss- essors of anything except the scantiest and cheapest outfit of a renter. Thirty years ago everybody had a comfortable competency—there was no one very rich and but few very poor; to-day every community has its one or two millionaires, and its thousands up- on thousands of very poor people. While the country has grown in wealth, during the years of Republican rule, just as it would had any other party been in power, ihe entire tenden- cy of legislation, and the aim and ob- ject of that party, has been to place all that wealth in the hands of the few. It has made millionaires of one class and homeless, houseless, almost hope- less, workers of the other. A few years more in this same line will see us in the same condition as the countries of the old world—the few in castles—the many in hovele, It is to change this general tendency —this Republican policy—that makes the most pressing demand upon the people for a change of administration. It cannot be doe too quick. The evil of centralization of wealth has al- ready been fastened upon us, It can: not be corrected in a day, or a year, or perhaps four years, but a beginning to- ward its correction can be made by making a change in the administration on Tuesday next. He who wants to see the wealth of the country so distributed that the few may have all and the many be but little, if any, better than jtramps, will vote to continue the present policy. He who would have every worthy man enjoy his full share of the in- creasing wealth of the country, will vote for a change of policy and for the defeat of the party that for the past thirty years has controlled every pow- er of the government for the sole pur- poee of enriching the few and impover- ishing the many. It Will Be Dangerous. In many places in this county it has been the practice, where a number of Democrats were working together, at threshing, corn busking, or other labor, to work on till evening and then go in a body to vote. This year such a course will be dangerous. There are always persons who put off voting un- til the last minute, and if that is done under the new system of voting, a great many will not have an opportunity to vote at all. Those who come late will be crowded out. The way to do is to go in the morn- ing and be sure of getting your vote in. It will take no more time to vote in the forenoon than it does later in the day, and when it is done, you feel you have fulfilled a duty. Take no chances. Go early when there is plenty of light to see to mark your ticket properly and plenty of room and time to cast your ballot. Take Your Neighbor With You. Let every Democrat who has a team hitch it up and take some Democratic neighbor, who has nore, to the polls with him in the morning, If he can save a vote, or make a vote in this way, it will certainly repay him for the trouble. Every Democratic vote counts and a full Democratic vote carries Penusylzania this fall. ——The Warcaman should be in every home in the county. 83.33 Cents Per Month. “If we manufacture our own tinplate and thus afford employment to 500,000 persons, we may throw that many out of employment in England and make a dismal state of atfairs there ; but our correspondent will not contend that this country would not be greatly benefit- ted by keeping at home the $22,000,000 which we have been paying for tinplate. The 500,000 persons getting better wages here would not only consume a much larger quantity of agri- cultural products than they did in England.” ~ Philadelphia Press. What a fat take it would be for workingmen! What a fortune-maker for the masses! What a soft snap for the unemployed! What a wage-pro- ducing industry for the country! We mean the manufacture of all the tinplate we use, on the terms and at the figures the Press holds forth to the people, as an inducement to vote for the continuation of the McKINLEY tar- iff. : We import, it is said, $22,000,000 worth every year. To manufacture this at home, Republican papers assert would give employment to 500,000 workingmen. This would be a big ar- my of laborers. With that many em- ployed men there would be many fami- lies to feed and take care of. It would require many houses, much furniture, lots of clothing and large quantities of provisions to maintain such a number, and of course any country would be built up that could secure and main- tain an industry employing $500,000 workingmen, Oa paper and without thinking this promises well. But it is like most of the other tariff promises and profess ions, only a big thing for a very few people, and very thin wages for those who work under it, and but little bene- fit for the community which hasit. It1s a campaign promise, intended only for those who do not think, and a pointer for the Republican who wants some- thing to talk about, even if there is neither facts nor sense connected with HH. In the whole list of Republican tar- iff promises there is nothing hollower, brassier or balder than this tinplate business. There are none of them that will look any rawer when uncovered, or peter out less when you come to sift them. Let us see. Twenty-two millions of dollars, diyid- ed among 500,000 workingmen would be exactly $44 a piece. You couldn’t make it more if you work at it a month. Its the exact sum that $22,000,000 of tin, if the raw material and everything else that goes into the making of it, was paid out in wages, would furnish each of the 500,000 people annually, who might be employed in the busi- ness. > Possibly there are men that $44 per year would satisfy. If there are such, they should vote for the party that proposes such a basis for wages in a new industry it intends building up, by continuing its tariff on tin. $3.33 per month! Who wouldn't burrah for Harrison and the tin-plate tax | Would Knock the Wind Out of Them. If ¢very Democrat in the county who has a buggy or a spring wagon will use it next Tuesday, morning, in haul- ing to the polls other Democrats who have none or are slow about going to vote, the enure party strength in the county can be polled by noon. What a glorious thing this would be, and how blue the backers of a robber tariff, that enables protected manufacturers to contribute millions of dollars to de- feat Democracy, would look, when they would find the Democratic people thus earnest in trying to protect them- selves, Vote early and be prepared for a most glorious victory. PE —— Don’t Attempt to Scratch Your Ticket. It is easy enough to vote under the new system as every one will find when he comes to deposit his ballot. But if Democrats want to be sure of their vote for CLEVELAND aud others on the tick- et, they should vote straight. Its the sure way. A wrong mark may lose you the vote, The right way for a Democrat to vote is to vote straight, There is no doubt about how his vote will be coun. ted then. Put an X at the right ofthe word “Democrat” wherever you find it in the second column of the ticket, and you are all right, Would Do Nothing for the Farmer. If the farmer, and grain grower, and dealer in grain would only lay aside their political prejudices a moment and think, but few of them would ever again vote for a party that limited the products of their farms and mills to the markets of this country. Last win- ter when Mr. BrLaiNe was blowing about reciprocity—free-trade in spots— the Ohio Miller's Association drafted a memorial upon the subject of recipro- cal trade with France, and asked that some effort be made to extend the mar- ket for American flour and wheat. WaireLaw Rem, Republican candi- date for Vice President, was at the time negotiating a commercial treaty between the United States and France, but no notice whatever of the Miller's Association request was taken. Mr, Brave acknowledged the receipt of the memorial and afterwards wrote that he was unable to do anything in the matter. The French Consul Gen- eral at Chicago was appealed to, to as- sist in the movement, and wrote that “the French Government is ready and “willing to buy $30,000,000 worth of flour “from America per year providing the “United States Government will allow “the French in return to sell $30,000,000 “worth of their products upon equally fa- “vorable terms.” But it didn’t suit Mr. Rem or the party he represented, to make a mar, ket for $30.000,000 of American wheat or flour, to be paid for in products that might come in competition with arti- cles manufactured by some of their pet industries in this country, and so the farmer’s wheat was left to take care of iteelf, while the Republican party turned its attention to taking care of the manu- facturers. From this single instance the wheat grower and flour-seller can see the op- portunities that are lost to them through the restricted trade that a pro- tective tariff makes necessary. They vote to protect the manufac- a demand for their wheat or flour. They vote to give the manufacturer has to sell, and to decrease the price of everything they produce themselves. Could blindress, or bigotry, or political prejudices go further ? Seventy cents a bushel for wheat, ought to open the eyes of every farmer in the country to the necessity of a change, and any change that would widen our markets would be to his ad- vantage. . It is for this that the Democratic par- ty is struggling. To vote the full Democratic tick- et place a cross ‘mark in the square to the right of the word Democratic, thus : DEMOCRATIC | X wherever the word Democratie appears on the Official ballot, Nothing could be simpler. At the Mercy of Railroads. The man who wants to put the poor man’s cow and the farmer's stock at the mercy of the railroad companies, and who wants to make the owner of a horse or cow responsible for any dam- age that would result in case of an ae- cident caused by their getting upon the railroad tracks, will vote for Hau- 1LToN and Dare. They are opposed to fences, and without fences every man in the county is responsible for any damage his stock may do, whether to a railroad company or to any one else. No fence law 1s just what the rail- road companies want. If a farmer, or lot owner, 18 rot required to protect his property with a fence, neither would the railroad company be, and without fences any stock that would stray up. on the property of the railroad com pa- ny, would be committing trespass, just as it would ifit would stray upon prop- erty belonging to any one else. Without fences along railroads, what would farmers through whose lands these roads run, do? And yet Hayirron and DALE are both opposed to a law that will make rail road companies, as. well as everybody else, protect their own property by keep- ing up substantial fences. The man ‘who votes for either of them votes against fences. CII ET { -—Are you going to vote yourself four | years more of pretection and starvation or will you try a change and cast your | vote for CLEVELAND and prosperty. turers and at the same time to prevent | the highest price possible for what he | The Way It Works with the Farmer, From the Milton Record. The average price of wheat during the administration of Cleveland was one dollar and two cents per bushel. Under the McKinley tariff Jaw that the Republican Congress enacted, Pres .ident Harrison signed, and the Minne- apolis Convention endorsed, and which every monopoly Republican newspa- per and every Republican demagogue orator insists benefits the farmer, the price has tumbled down to seventy cents a bushel. This fact carries with it the conviction that supply and de- mand regulate the price of wheat or any other commodity and that a high tariff cannot maintain a big price in the face of a surplus production. So the McKinley bill has failed to benefit the farmer as a producer. How does it strike him as a consumer? Is he ben- efitted by having to pay more for his wearing apparel, more for a score of articles of food in general use, more for a hundred other articles he must buy ? If taking money out of his own pocket and putting it in the coffers of the mo- nopoly manufacturer betters his condi- tion and promotes general thrift and prosperity, then protection is a good thing for the farmer. am ————— Hard on The Imagination, From the Wage Eaners Journal : Candidate Dale was in town Tuesday. He is an opponent of Mr. Schofield. He was being introduced to the Repub- licans in the town by Geo. W. Zeigler, Esq., whois alsoa candidate, on the Republican ticket, for distriet attorney. Mr. Dale asked us, in any reference we might make of him, to forget any bad we had heard of him and imagine something good. We promised to do so. We have imagined and imagined and imagined, tut for the life of us we can’t call to mind or imagine any good thing he has ever done sufficient to cause any man—no matter what his politics—to cast his vote for him in preference to Mr. Schofield.. If the gentleman objects to this notice, he must blame our weak imaginative powers. They were never good at best, but when called into service to imagire that a Republican lawyer would make a better peoples’ representative in the Legislature than a plain matter of fact business man, we can’t do it; we ean’t friend Dale neither for love or money ? It is Going to be Big. From the Phila Herald. Bourke Cockran claims that Cleve- land’s plurality in New York will be 75,000. Thereis no good reason why that should not be about the figure. { The party in the State was never more | thoroughly united—was never more en- | thusiastic and determined in its purpose. ‘When Tammany and the Mugwumps | are equally in earnest for Cleveland ; when the Tiger trots along in the pro- cession as complacently as the most ex- acting civil service reformer ; when the original Hill men and the original Cleveland men—the Snappers and the anti-Snappers — have resolved them- selves into a harmonious aggregation of political Damons and Pythiases, all in- tent upon the election of Cleveland. there isn’t money enough in the Re- publican party to overcome such a com- bination of winning forces. Cleveland is bound to have a plurali- ty in New York State, and it is going to be a whopper. How His Eyes Were Opened. From the Philadelphia Record. William O’Donunel will vote for Cleveland. “I have been voting for protection to American labor, and in the iron and steel industries particularly for the last 25 years,” he said, bitterly to-night, “and I had to become a poor man to find what a fool I have been.” O’Donnel went to work in Van Alen’s Iron Works in Northumberland in 1868 at $2.75 a day. He has been rich since being a prime mover in establishing the nail works here in 1883, but continued reverses swept everything away from bim, and yesterday he applied for the same job at Van Alen’s and was offered $1.28 a day, the wages paid for that work now. O’Donnell was a hot pro- tectionist heretofore, a leader of the laboring elasses and a prominent figure in -local polities. We Are All Americans. From the New London Telegraph. Now an appeal to Indian Americans isin order. It is disgusting to note how contemptible are the methods in- culcated by the present political exigen- cy. All sorts of addresses are being made, some having no basis but radical prejudices. All kinds of hyphenated Americans are frantically adjured to vote. It is incomprehensible how men of average intelligence can tamely sub- mit to these insults, for they are really nothing more. There ought to be no recognition of race in American poli tics. Men vote as American citizens, not as representatives of races. A ——————— They Will Vote for Their Homes. From the Winston (N. C.) Sentinel.

These men are actuated neither by! prejudice nor other bad motives, but thew have become convinced that the sogial, political and commercial pros- perity of the country will be favored "by the election of Cleveland. .
