HIS TRIP THROUGH THE STATE A TRIUMPHAL MARCH. Democracy Aroused Croat Meetings at Williamsport, Sunbury, Danville, Shamo kin. and Everywhere Along the Routo The Largest Political Gatherings Held tor Years Singerly Enthusiastic and Hope ful-The Outlook Is Bright. The trip of Candidate Singerly and his party of prominent Democrats through the State last week and this week has been one of the most re markable ever made by a similar party. Everywhere the greatest en thusiasm has prevailed, and the wel comes given to the great leader of TariB Reform have been most cord ial and heart v. At Belle fonte thous ands of people gathered at eight o'clock in the morning to see and hear Col. Singerly. At Williamsport, Lock Haven, Sunbury, Shamokm, Danville, great meetings were addressed by dif ferent members of the party, and any man who dares to say that Democracy is dead, after these popular uprisings, must be both blind and deaf. State Chairman Stranahan is greatly pleased with the outlook for a large Demo cratic vote in the Slate. What was apparently a dull and lifeless cam paign a month ago has been turned almost like a flash into a very lively and enthusiastic canvass. The life of the campaign is not confined to any particular section, nor to any par ticular county, but is general. The cause of this Mr. Stranahan attributes in a large measure to the doleful ca lamity speeches of General Hastings and his colleagues on the State Re publican ticket and their train of spell binders. These calamity howls have aroused the Democrats, who have gone to work with a will for the suc cess of their ticket. " Business is improving everywhere," said Chairman Stranahan. " Rail roads are taxed to their utmost capac ity in carrying coal, iron ore and other business freight. Furnaces, rolling mills, mines, coke works and other branchts of industry which the Repub licans predicted would be destroyed by the passage of the Wilson bill ate suddenly springing into great vigor and life. Labor is being generally em ployed, and although the wages are not as large as they have been, on ac count of the business paralysis occa sioned by the Republican policy of protection, yet the iaborer is receiving li ing wages, with every prospect of speedy and continual increase. All business assumes an air of bright hope, and a feeling of trust and con fidence in the future is taking the place of the depression and despond ency of a year ago. " This has brought about largely the awakened interest of the Democracy of the State in this campaign," added Chairman Stranahan enthusiastically. " This is shown in the first week's tour of the candidates of the State. The meetings are said to be much larger than in 1890, and are conceded to be the largest ever held in the State by any political party. The meetings during the present week in the eastern part of the State equal, if not surpass, those in the west. The State head quarters is overrun with applications for meetirgs and speakers from all sections of the State, but we are una ble in many instances to comply wi'h these requests. This interest and en thusiasm canr.ot be anything but help ful to the Democracy at the approach ing election." DEMOCRATS. What has the Republican party ever done for this country except to get it in to trouble, expense and distress ? First In 1S73 they demonetized silver and brought on the panic of that period that almost destroyed the country in the sweeping financial crash. Second They increased again and again all the tariff taxes until the manufacturers became millionaires and the workingmen paupers and tramps, and 1200 strikes followed, with workingmen begging for wages enough to live on and keep their families. Third They passed the McKin- ley tariff bill which was the very abomination of desolation, and mills shut down and strikes increased, ar,d the militia were called out and blood flowed again by reason of Republican ascendency. Fourth They looted the treasury of the State and Nation, bank rupting the Government and the peo ple, and bringing on the financial dif ficulty of 1S93, which is just now pass ing off under Democratic rule. For thirty years they have been in power, and no nation on earth has ever experienced for the same period such agony of war, such destruction of human life, such extravagance of public plunder, such bankruptcy of in dividuals, such begging for wages and for bread, such hardships and starva tion among wage earners and workers. Such are the things the G. O. P. has to answer for such are the trophies they bear with them, blood and tears and groans and sorrows. They should hide their heads in shame before an outraged people. DEMOCRATS I Swear by your wives and children, by the memory of these horrors and distressc s. by your love to your country, never to give them power again 1 Never 1 1 Never 1 1 BUCKALEW FOR CONGRESS. DEMOCRATS should rememberthat when President Cleveland turned over the national government to the Harri son administration there was a HUN DRED MILLIONS SURPLUS in the treasury, but when the Harrison administration turned over the govern ment to President Cleveland in 1893, the hundred million surplus WAS GONE and in its place a DEFICIEN CY of SIXTY-NINE MILLIONS bequeathed to the Democratic admin istration to be provided for. Econ omy has been the rule under the Cleveland administration and the ex penses of government have been less ened and consequently the burdens of the people relieved to a considerable extent. The people, who have to bear the burdens, should vote to con tinue this system of rigid economy. A QUESTiOU. Why should anybody vote for Kulp ? Not because he is fitted by education or training to go to Congress. Not be cause his natural abilities are such as to enable him to be of any use in Con gress. Not because he has even done or said anything to entitle him to an election to Congress. The only reason left is because he is a Republican, and that is the very reason why Democrats don't want him. Vote for Buckalew. Get out the whole vote. Vote the ticket straight. The battle is won, and Buckalew's election to congress is sure. But let no man stay at home because he feels that his vote is not needed. The bigger we can make the majority, the strong er will be the rebuke to the bluffing Republicans who have had the assur ance to claim that they can elect an unknown and incompetent republican to Congress in a district with a large Democratic majority against a Demo crat of great ability, and national repu tation. A Democrat who will in any way assist them, is not worthy of the name. Democrats, do not falter now. You have a chance to strike a blow at repub licanism by keeping down the major ity in the state, and by saving this congressional district to the Demo cracy by a good majority. Some rash republicans have been betting on Kulp's election. Is there a Democrat in the county who wants them to win their money ? When John Sherman said no duties should be levied for protection that are not needed for revenue," he might Have added in the language of Hil " I guess I'm a Democrat, too," far that is first-class Democratic doctnn Bluff Will Not Work. The bluff and blow and s;1uttcr of the Republicans about cariyirg this state by 250,000 majority has died away, and all offers to bet on that figure were withdrawn as soon as it was found that Democrats with m'oney to cover the bets were too numerous. Bluff and' bluster will not do. The tide is turning in our favor, and if the election wai a month off Penn sylvania would be a . Democratic state. If the Republicans carry it by a reduced majority it will be a rt- buke to their calamity howling, and a point gained by the Democracy. Let no Democrat stay at home on Tuesday next. See that every vote is polled and counted. Let us come boldly to the front and hoist the ban ners for a vigorous and triumphant campaign in 1896. Apathy and coward- I ;.i 1 .;..-, t . . iuc now win maxe u me n artier 10 win the Presidential fight in 1896. The Income tax is a tax on the wealth of the country, to the relief of the poverty of the citizen. A tax upon the millionaire, and a relief to the workingman. A tax upon the man who does nothing for his living, and a relief to the day laborer. A tax upon the income of the man who lives upon his income, and a relief to the daily wage earner. Careful esti mates show that 25,000 persons now possess more than half the whole na tional wealth, real and personal (to wit: $60,000,000,000). Taxation of the income therefrom is a solemn duty in relief of the working Ameri can citizen. This the Democrats have done. However much protection a favored industry mav buv or saueeze throush y a o Congress, they have never been known to obligate themselves to protect labor according to the protection thev have been given. That's a matter they are allowed to regulate according to their own generosity. Next Tuesday is election day. Give that day to your country, and vote for Singerly, Buckalew, and the entire state and county Democratic ticket, and see that your neighbor does the same. The Democratic Congress reduced the list of salaried government officers by more than 600, and thus saves more than $700,000 annually. Vote for Buckalew, and the 'work of econ omy will go on, and swarms of officers will not eat out your substance. The Democratic Congress decreased the appropriations $28,835,989.70, thus relieving the people by that sum trom taxation. Elect Buckalew and keep up that sort of thing. Our woolen mills now running on full time are practical barometers of free-trade weather, and far more con vincing than impassioned stump argu ment about protected wool. Notwithstanding the income tax " cruelty " that is lamented by some folks, we notice that aspirants for the higher .offices can still be found with out coaxing. Now the iron is hot. Strike it next Tuesday by voting the straight Demo cratic ticket, and you will see some republican sparks fly. To suppose that hot-head argument is the only kind that wins votes is a common fallacy. It never awakens anything but resentment based upon prejudice. 1 All Run Down Always Tired, Sleepless and Without Appetite Blood Vitalized and Strength Re newed by Hood's Sarsaparllla. "C. I.

THE DIFFERENCE. The attitude of the Democratic party, and the immediate effect of the tariff reform it has successfully advo cated, is calculated to broaden com petition, and thereby benefit the masses directly. But the attitude of the Re publican party and its fallacious high tariff doctrine benefits the classes di rectly, and the masses indirect:y, if at all. Now, is indiicct or roundabout help the kind we need ? No, we thank you. it is not. But, on the other hand, the direct benefit that is bound to result fiom free and open competition, wherein the poor man and small dealer stands as good a chance to live as the rich, is the kind of direct benefit we are looking for. And if Democracy offers us laws more prompt and favorable tofiee and open competition than Republican class legislation will ever give us, we hope to have sense enough to see the dif ference and vote accordingly. We hold it is f.i'se argument to say that our manufactories cannot run without special protection. We have lived long enough under protection to have learned that demand for their wares has more to do with their run ning steadily than either high or low protection. If high protection is a panacea, then strikes should not occur, And as to the justice of special pro tection to a particular rich man or company, it is of the left hand sort. There is a benefit, and a great benefit. no doubt, but it accrues directly to the manufacturer, and without pre suming to bind him in the matter of wages he is to pay, or how fast or slow he is to run his establishment. The Republican attitude means the pro tection of combinations, trusts and monopo'ies in the future, just as it has in the past, while the attitude and winning policy of Democracy is free and open competition for rich and poor alike. Not to vote at all, is equivalent to nait a vote tor the other side. Demo crats who do not vote next Tuesday are giving the Republican candidates a half vote. Be men, and vote a full ticket one way or the other. NOTICE.
