To Democrats Who Have Teams. You are cure the sun shines when the eky is cloudless. You can be just as eure that this county will give a Democratic tnajority tor the State and county ticket, if the Democratic vote is gotten to the polls on Tuesday next. A complete and thorough canvass of every school district, making due al.. lowance for all doubtful voters, shows a sate Democratic majority. That majority should be expressed at the polls. Tt can be got there with but little trouble and at no expense, if Democrats who take an interest will each one take a little of the work up- oun his own sheulders, and not expect others to do it all. There i3 not a school district in the county, but has one or more Demo- cratic voters who have horses and wagons—there is not a school district that has more than two or three vot- ers whom it is necessary to haul to the polls. Most Democrats who have teams hitch them up to go to the elec- “tion, and it would add nothing to the expense and take but little of their time to drive around to some poor fel- low’s home, who has no team, and take him with them. full vote would be polled, and Centre In this way the county would be placed back in the Democratic column. Democratic readers of the WarcH- MAN, we have given you reason after reason why this country, this State and this county should be Democratic. You are intelligent citizens and honest men, and know the necessity ot Demo- cratic government, if the interests of the tax-payers are to be cared for. Will elestion day to the work of making you not devote a few hours on them Democratic? Your own vote is all right, but we must have others. To get others they must be gosto the polls. This you can do and we ap, peal to you to do it. Teo.articles, published elsewhere in the paper, show how you and other tax-payers have been robbed the past year and are to be robbed for years to come to make offices, and big salaries, and fat living for a few Republicans. Will yea give your approval to this kind of work by staying at home on election day, or by allowing some poor | fellow, who has no way of getting out, tostay at home, when he would vote with you ¢o rebuke and defeat such robbery ? It is for your interest that we speak and to your patriotism, Democracy, and spirit that we appeal ! Don’t have it to say on election night that your school district had Democratic votere who were not seen and offered an opportunity to get to the polls. Go, between this and the election, and arrange where to meet those vot- ere who have no tears. On the morn- ing of the election have your team at the place appointed and take out your man or men, This won't cost you anything but a few hours time. It will win a wonderful victory here in old Centre. ——The word has gone out that QUIGLEY must be elected at all haz: zard. Republicans see no hope of carrying MILLER through and have directed that be be sacrificed wherever possible to make an extra vote for HAsTING'S protege. Democrats, don’t be induced to make such trades. Mr. Smit and Mr. SiNGeErR will both be elected if you stick to them, ,| expenditures, the The Right Kind of a District Attorney. The Republican papers, failing to find any reason *n present to the vot- ers of the county why they should elect Hexry- C. QuiGLEY district at- torney, last week, undertook another plan to accomplish that purpose, and that was to induce them to believe that Mr. SINGER was not the proper person to choose for that place. Their reasons for this position, boiled down, are: first, that Mr. SINGER is incompetent ; and second, that he failed or refused to compromise or “settle cases,” Acs to the first charge it is only nec- essary to state that during the three years Mr. SINGER has acted as district attorney, the county has paid out less as fees for other attorneys assisting in - the prosecution of commonwealth cas- es, than was required during the same years, to show how untruthful Repub- lican papers can be when they Lave a political object to attain. The county figures of which were given in every newspaper in the county last February, proye how un- truthful this first charge is, and how well Mr. SINGER cared for the interests of the tax-payers, by attending to the duties of his office himself and saving them the expense of paying as. sistant attorneys to prosecute criwmi- nale. If he had been incompetent, he could not have done this and the addi- tional cost of attorneys that would have been required to do his work would long ago have been paraded as evidence of his unfitness, by these same papers. The second charge that he has re- fused to settle cases is true. He has refused. It -was his duty to refuse. It is not the business of a district at- torney to ‘‘eettle cases.” His work is to present indictments and facts to the grand jury and it says whether a case is too trivial to occupy further attention from the court. A district attorney who would set himself up as the prop- er power to determine cases re- turned for criminal prosecution, and compromise or ‘‘settle them" would only be some fellow who cared noth- ing for law or justice and who was ready to make whatever could be squeezed out of unfortunates who were intended to be brought before the court. It would be a pretty state of affairs if a district attorney could “eet. tle cases” at his will. How many criminals with money would ever reach a court hearing? How many violations of law would be condoned by a fee paid the prosecuting officer ? This last charge is the highest com- pliment that could have been paid Mr. SINGER. It shows that he is not to be bribed ; that he is fair and impartial ; that rich and poor alike receive the same treatment at his ‘hands as a pub- lic official. What honest man in the county can refuse to vote for him, when the county records prove his competency and his enemies admit, by their charges, that he can neither be bought nor bull-dozed. “Getamoveon.” That's what you want to do, Demo- crats. It's what you need. It's what you must do if you want to have a vic- tory worth crowing over next Tuesday. There are plenty of Democrats in Pennsylvania to elect their entire tick- et if they would only ‘“getamoveon.” There are enough in Centre county to give us a square thousand majority if they could be induced to ‘“‘getamove- on.” There are plenty of them every- where ; for the promise of prosperity, the certainty of better times for every- body than Republicanism furnished, makes Democrats by tbe thousands, and all that they want to show their power is to ‘‘getamoveon’ and to get it on quickly. Some people never ap- preciate their opportunities until it is too late to take advantage of them. The time for Democrats to make the most of the opportunities offered them is NOW. Don't overlook this fact. This is the “accepted time" —this the day of your salvation, if you only “get amoveon.’’ Democrats, getamoveon,. ——Itis a political tradition that the Democrats carry Ohio every six years. That this is going to be a Democratic sixth year in that State would seem to be indicated by the opening demonstration of the Demo- crats in Columbus, which, in numbers, almost equalled the parade of the grand army when it held its reunion in that city some years ago. A sig- nificant feature of the Democratic opening meeting, was the participation of large numbers of operatives in the Columbus mills and factories, who helped to make the Republican land- slide last year, but now admit they were deceived as to the effects of a Democratic tariff. Democrats, getamoveon. Q ) L-nation Get to the Polls Early. Phere is nothing made by waiting until evening to vote. The party that is wide awake and polls the greatest proportion of its vote in the forenoon is the party that is most certain to win. Where it has become the habit to cast the bulk of the vote late in the afternoon, the vote is always short, for the reagon that it is never known who will fail to be on hand until too late to send for them, Democrats, if you want to win, and the good Lord knows you should want to, VOTE EARLY, and then help get your more negligent If by noon the entire Democratic vote of Democratic neighbor to the polls. | ol f h .. | your district is not in, begin sending ength of time for the past twenly : for those who are absent.

Vote early. Do your duty. And be prepared to rejoice over a glorious Democratic victory. Democrats, getamoveon. — A McKinley Conspiracy. The beneficial effects of the present tariff, as seen in the improvement of every branch of industry and the in- crease of wages, should not be die- turbed by a return to the policy of Mc- KiNLEvISM, Under the last Republican tanff, from the time of its passage in 1890 to its reduction in 1894, there was contin- ual tronble between the workmen and their employers in regard to wages. In every department of manufacture the pay of the working people was subject- ed to reduction, with the result that strikes were of frequent occurrence: Beeides the great Homestead strike, which. calminated in riot and blood- shed, there were strikes in the coal re- gions, in the woolen and cotton manu. factories, in the iron and steel mills, in the potteries and chemical works, and in every branch ot employed labor. There was not a department of pro duction in which the workmen had not either to strike, or to tamely submit to a curtailment of their remuneration. These are facts of industrial history that cannot be denied, and it is a fact that the strikes against the reduction of wages invariably failed to effect their object. Since the passage of the WiLson Democratic tariff the situation has been entirely changed. Every branch of industry has been set going with in- creased activity, and wages have been ' '°" ; * being built advanced by the voluntary action of em- ployers. Will the working people, or any other class of reflecting citizens, vote to have the industrial situation changed to what it was under the Mc- KiNLEY tariff ? That would be the ef: fect of their voting the Republican ticket this year, for it could bear no | other construction than that the Re: publican politicians who are planning to restore the McKINLEY tariff should go ahead with that scheme. Those who want to have business thrown into confusion by a fight in Congress for the restoration of the monopoly tariff, and desire to bring back the McKINLEY period of reduced wages and labor strikes, will endorse the high tariff schemers by voting the Republican ticket. How many working people are there who entertain such a suicidal inten- tion ? Democrats, getamoveon. ——To the Democrats of Howard, Liberty and Rush ‘townships we would make an especial appeal for a good showing. Our reason for this is: It is reported that the republican managers intend putting a pile of money into your precincts to buy enough votes to carry their ticket through. If such be the case you will not know it until election day therefore turn in at once to make such a return as your precincts have never known before. Spurn the disgrace to which Republicans would bring you. Show them that they have selected the wrong people for contami. with their dirty political methods, Democrats, getamoveon. ——1If you want printing of any dis- cription the WATCHMAN office is the place to have it done. How the New Tariff Has Affected the Coal Output, One of the principal themes of the calamity howlers last fall was the story they told about the way the WiL- son tariff was going to kill the coal business in Pennsylvania. Loud aud long did they shout to the miners that they would all starve to death if they did not vote the Republican ticket. Most of them were fooled by the howl, but even the Republican vietory of last fall didn’t change the tariff and the WiLsoN law continued in effect as it is now. Strikes have ended and the following extract from an article in the DuBois Express gives the lie to the Republicans. The subjoined table of bituminous coal output affords an interesting study at this time. It gives the production in tons for the years 1894 and 1895 up to the beginning of this month. It will be evident to even a casual observ- er that the production for this year is much greater than i in 1894. The nota- ble exception is the Pocahontas region, and the reason for this is. that that re- gion worked during the genera) sus- peneion of 1894, STATISTICS OF BITUMINOUS TONNAGE. REGION. 1895.

Democrats, getamoveon. Our People Know It. Last week the Gazette tried to un- furl the “bloody shirt” for campaign buncombe and straddled that old hob- by with the tariff iesue, in its vain en- deavor to draw deductions on a fight in state politics. After a lengthy dis- sertation on the history of the civil war it begins its peroration as follows : “Centre county is and ought to be Republi can. HerJindus tries require that she should favor that party whose principles and aims, are her advancement. Agriculture alone will not bring back prosperity to our people. It requires encouragement to home labor, fair compensation, and protection to all her indus- fries and manufacturies. In the first place, Centre is not a Republican county, a fact which the returns will disclose next Tuesday. Secondly, her interests have never needed the pap furnished by Republi- can robber tariff legislation. Had the editor of the Glazette moved hither, from Snyder county, a few years before he did he would - not have been guilty of such foolishness as is displayed above. He would have seen a glass works, a nail works, a foundry and machine shop all in full blast in this place under CLEVELAND'S first admin- istration. He would have seen Belle- fonte’s two mammoth iron furnaces under the encouraging sway of Democratic dominance. He * would have seen them start and run, with little loss of time. He would have seen every industry in the county in constant operation, agricultural products in good demand at stiff prices, labor being sought everywhere and an all pervading air of prosperity. Things became different after the Republicans went into power in 1889. The Centre iron company failed, the Bellefonte furnace ran at intervals and finally shut down altogether. The glass and nail works failed dnd" busi- uess became so poor at our big foundry and machine shops that the men em- ployed there made scarcely more than half time during the entire operation of the McKINLEY bill. Wheat fell to’ 50cts a bushel and the many strikes that disturbed the peace of the country told, in tales of blood shed, of the dis- content and starving wages of the la- boring classes. Carry the lesson a little farther for the new editor of the Gazelte and what do we find to-day, after scarcely more than fitteen months of operation under a Democratic tariff : The larg- est iron furnace in the place is run- ning full blast and is not able to keep up with its orders. The foundry and machine shop is doing more business than it has done for five years. Agri- cultural products are looking up in price and indications point to a restora- tion of the good Democratic figures of 1888. Labor is finding employment at increased wages, voluntary in- creases being the order of the day, and lastly : the Gazette, itself, has told you, within the last two months, that the nail works—wrecked under a McKiN- LEY tariff—are to be started soon and, writing of the early resumption of the Bellefonte furnace, it says: it has ‘every reason to believe that this time it will be put in operation.” These are facts for the voters of Cen- quently the expenses were more. Com- tre county to ponder over. Good, hard fisted facts that will give a blackeye to the Gazette's attempt to harp tarift on the tail end of a lot of irrelevant stuff relegated from a history that school boys etudy.
