A Word to Democrats of the County.
Democrats of Centre county the time for

But a few days, at the long-
est, are left you for completing ar-
rapgements to poll your vote. If this has
not already been done, drop everything
else and do it now. DON’T TRUST TO
OTHERS to see that this is done. You,
my dear reader, have as much interest in
‘this matter as anyone. The success of the
party should be as dear to you as to any-

taxes are just as hard to pay as his are.
You will profit by and enjoy an honest ad-
ministration of affairs just as much as he
will. Why then should you wait for some
one else to do that which you have an
' equal interest in doing ?
IT’S A FIGHT AGAINST TRUSTS.
It is to your interest that Democracy
wins. That means much to every farmer,
to every laborer and citizen: who is not a
stockholder in a Republican trust. The
contest this fall is between the people and
the trusts. If the trusts win, YOUR TAXES,
YOUR EXPENSES and all that you need to
live on, or make you comfortable, WILL
GO HIGHER IN PRICE, while the prod- |.
ucts of your labor will be lessened. For
your own sake, and the sake of those who
are near and dear to you, you owe one
day’s duty to the public, and that one day

TAKE OUT YOUR NEIGHBOR.
If you have a neighbor who is sick, or
now arousing THE

arrange to have him taken out. You haye
a buggy or wagon, it will cost you nothing
“to take some one with yon when you go to
vote. See your man,—some one who is
slow: about getting out—who, if not
looked after might, stay at home. See him
before election day and fix the time that
you will call for him. When that time
comes, be on hand and make certain that
you take him along. Ask others who have
rigs to do the same. In this way every
Democratic vote can be polled and a glori-
ous victory will be won in the county.

It is always a ‘good plan to vote early.
It takes no more time to cast your ballot
ie the morning than it does later in the
day. And itis encouraging. It helps to
get others to vote your way. It shows the
Republicans that you are in earnest, and
starts the tide ranning in your favor. Vote
early yourself, and have the man who votes
with you, do the same. Get all your
Democratic votes polled as early in the day
as possible, and in country districts send

you will be sure of succeeding.
You want a big victory in Centre county
this fall. The way to have it is to work
for it, and if every Democrat who feels a
pride in the success of his party will do this
there will be no question about the victory.
GO TO WORK AT ONCE.

to be proud of the manner in which Hon.
J. H. WETZEL represented him in the last
session of the Legislature. Nearly every-
one is acquainted with the record of this
honorable, upright gentleman at Harris-
burg and the following extract, taken from
the Harrishurg Star Independent of June
7th, 1900, will he read with gratification
by everyone.
The Democrats of Centre county bave
nominated Hon. J. H. Wetzel, of Belle-
fonte, for re-election to the Legislature and
have honored themselves in thus honoring
a splendid official. Mr. Wetzel served
during the last session of the Legislature
and was among the most zealous supporters
of just legislation in the body. Modest,
potent influence on the floor because of his
intelligent understanding of the work and
spected and admired by all of his associates.
During the last session of the Legisla-
ture it will be remembered a strong effort
was made to disrupt the Demoératic organ-
ization in order that out of the demoraliza-
tion and confusion the election of Quay to
the Senatorship might come. One of the
foremost of those who stood unfalteringly
in line of defense against such attacks was

You will notice from the above list, that the combined capital of all the firms
now owned by the trust was only $7,910,000 before the combination secured con-
by the American Agricultural Chemical
Company is $40,000,000, showing $32,060,000 of watered stock. Presuming their
tonnage to be 500,000 tons, which is a liberal estimate, and considering their divi-
dends at five per cent, it would be necessary for them to charge the farmers $4.00
per ton extra profit in order to come out whole, without considering their army of
Their prices have been increased, and considering the large amount of dissatis-
faction among the farmers’ who have used trust goods this last year it is fair to
presume that the quality of their various brands bave suffered, notwithstanding
they sold for more money. This would prove an additional increase in price to the
farmer which is not discovered until the crops are harvested.
It is unquestionably the desire of this combination to secure complete control of
the fertilizer business, and if they succeed, our brother farmers will have decided-
ly more cause for complaint than they have at the present time. We predict, how-
ever, the early puncture of this bubble, unless there are two suckers, instead of
one, born each minute, one to buy the stock of this trust and the other to buy the
fertilizers made by the firms controlled by them.
Here is something for the farmers to think about and act upon.

land and cultivating the crops only to find from the yield that they are being work-
First, by a raise in the price of the fertilizer and second, by a poor
return of the money, time and labor expended.
This condition is only made possible by the existence of the fertilizer trust.
Competition 1s virtually destroyed, and the price goes up and the quality down.
But the farmers are not the only ones who suffer by the fertilizer trust.
ployes in fertilizer factories also feel the blight of this greedy monster. After this
trust had purchased three fertilizer factories in Philadelphia, they closed two of
them, Sharpless & Carpenter, and the Moro Phillips Fertilizer Works, throwing at
least 500 hands out of employment; and what holds good in that locality will hold
good in others wherever the trust holds sway.

J. H. Wetzel, of Centre county. His ad-
vise was Sought by the leaders and his help
‘invoked by io vgs “closers’”’ whenever
there were signs of wabbling. The people
‘who are opposed to the re-election of Quay
have much to thank the sturdy Representa-
tive of Centre county for.
The same battle will be fought in the
next session of the Legislature and the
same courage and determination will be
needed to bring about the same or a better
result. In view of that fact the news
of the re-election of Representative Wetzel,
of Centre county, will afford satisfactionin
every section of the State. He can be de-
pended on to do hisshare in every movement
or purer politics and honester elections
and that will be much in the coming ses-
sion. He ought to be returned by an over-
whelming majority. :
Coming as is does from a journal that has
no farther interest in Mr. WETZEL than to
take passing notice of his calibre as a Rep-

pecially significant and come to his friends
in Centre county as a matter to be proud
of.
Mr. WETZEL stood out consistently
against all the temptations and blandish-

day. Asa man he asks you to vote for
him. Will you do it?

EXHIBITORS AND PREMIUM WIN.
NERS AT THE CENTRE CO. FAIR.
A Complete List of Those Who Had Articles on Ex-
hibition at the First Meeting of the New Centre
County Fair. A Very Creditable Exhibition and
Everybody Satisfied.
The first meeting of the pew Cen-
tre County Fair isa thing of the past and as
we look back upon the doings of two weeks
ago we can see nothing bus cause for con-
gratulating the party of gentlemen who
have so successfully launched the enter-
prise. The weather could scarcely have
been more ideal, the grounds were in
splendid condition, the entertainments
carried out exactly as advertised, not a
serious accident happened to mar the
pleasure of a single spectator and the pub-
lic were faithfully protected from the
trickery of gamblers.
Of course there were some inconven-
iences but for a new grounds it seemed as
if they were certainly reduced to a mini-
mum. Probably the greatest need was
drinking water. Several flowing hydrants,
such as the famous pump on the old fair
grounds, would be ample and will un-
douhtedly be placed on the grounds by
next year. :
The attendance was very satisfactory, all
things heing considered, and was quite
large enough to guarantee a much greater
turn out next year. The closest estimates
for the four.days place the crowds as fol-
lows :

THE POULTRY EXHIBIT.
Prof. G. C. Watson, State Coliege,judge.
The exhibit of poultry was probably the
finest on the ground and the most exten-
sive display of fowls ever seen in this part
of the State. There were more than 1,000
head, embracing almost every known va-
riety of domestic fowls and while the
largest exhibits were ‘made by foreign
breeders, yet two that attracted a large share
of attention were those of G. W. Musser,
of Tyrone, and F. R. McMahon, of Shingle-
town.
G. W. Musser, Tyrone, buff leghorns,
brahmas, leghorns, plymouth rocks, Ham-

F. R. McMahon, Shingletown, light
brahmas, barred plymouth rocks, white
wyandottes, silver laced wyandottes, buff
leghorns. Mr. McMahon has only been in
the poultry business a year and a half but

Among the stock all were of more than

a great deal of attention ; while ‘‘Jack’’
and the other big promoter of the Rock
Farm herds came in for their share of the
Ohs! and Ahs! as the delighted spectators
passed the cattle pens. In James Thomp-
son’s exhibit were some beautiful Jersey
cows, one of them imported, and samples |
of their golden butter were shown in the
exhibition building. Andrew Hugg’s
short horns and A. V. Miller's Fresians
won premiums for their owners. But the
pet of the whole show was Mrs. Mary V.
Hale's exhibit, ‘Jersey Lilly.” Geo. H.
Musser’s Oxfordowns attracted a great |
deal of attention ; especially the magnifi-
cent ram, which Mr. Musser imported a
year or 80 ago. :
