LOOTING THE TREASURY
Trail of Blood and Boodle Through History
" of Spoliation,
Life and Honor Freely 5acrificcd to Feed the Rapac
ity of Republican Machine Managers, Who Por
a Quarter of a Century Have Been Preying Upon
'" the Industry and Energy of the People.
The history of the Pennsylvania
tate treasury Is an ever Interesting
though essentially prlde-ehastenlnK
study for the people. For years It has
teen a prolific source of graft and from
the time that the late Senator Quay
became secretary of the common
wealth and ex-offlclo commissioner of
the slnkliiK fund, a "trail of blood and
toodle" has marked Its records. Vast
urpluses wore unknown a quarter of
a century ngo, the fiscal officers of
the commonwealth having been cap
able If not always conscientious, so
that the receipts and expenditures
bout balnnced. Tint Quay soon dis
covered that tho sinking fund was an
available fountain of funds and by con
spiracy with a subordinate oITlcial of
tho treasury he abstracted largo
amounts for use In speculative opera
tions. Since the keen scent of cupid
ity discovered the possibilities that are
in IiIr surpluses, taxes have been mul
tiplied to create vnst balances.
In a speech delivered at I'ottstown,
September 23d, by Eugene C. Donnl
wrll. Ksq., of Philadelphia, tho shame
ful record of this pool of Iniquity Is
fully revealed. Mr. llonnlwell said:
The supreme Issue which con
cerns lis today Is honesty. Ounht
tho common standards ordinarily
applied in society anil business to
be MajjItiouKly ignored In the con
duct of public affairs, and the
funds of the people of Pennsylva
nia placed at the disposal of cor
rupt politicians nnd stock Ram
blers? There can bp no party
lines upon this proposition.
No citizen professing to be re
putable can support the so-called
Kepubllcan ticket In this campaign
simply because it Is labeled Repub
lican. John Jay, the tlrst chief
Justice of the 1' til ted State, aptly
said that adherence to party has Its
limits, and they are marked and
prescribed by that supreme wis
dom which tins united and asso
ciated true policy with honor, rec
titude and self-respect.
The citadel which dominates tho
political battlefield of Pennsylva
nia Is tho state treasury. From
Its vaults have Issued again and
SRaln the funds that have corrupt
ed legislatures, debauched constit
uencies, nourl.shed bankrupt poli
ticians and financed colossal gam
bles for the enrichment of so-culled
statesmen.
Tho citizen worthy of tho name
who proposes to vote for the lto
publican nominee for state treas
urer must do so on one of two
prounds either the conduct of tho
state treasury In the past has been
of so meritorious an order as to
Justify the continuance of Repub
lican control, or the character of
the Republican nominee is so sig
nally inspiriting as to make cer
tain an honest conduct of the office
despite his political affiliations.
Tried by either of thase tests tho
Republican organization hopeless
ly tails.
Record of Flagrant Dishonesty.
Lost the frightful trail of dis
honesty and blood of wrecked
homes and brokeu hearts has be
come less than a memory, permit
luo to recapitulate tho known his
tory of the state treasury. Within
our own time when Samuel Hut
ler, an honest man, was elected
treasurer of the stato of Pennsyl
vania, In lSTD, ho refused to re
ceipt for the nssets of the treas
ury because of the fact that $2tit)-,
OHO was represented by nothing
more thnn promissory notes of cer
tain politicians. It was never de
nied that this money was taken
out by Matthew Stanley Quay and
lost In Btock speculations. When
exM)sure became imminent Lllake
Walters, cashier of the state treas
ury, shot and killed himself.
Amos C. Noyes, the retiring
treasurer, a man of such rugged
honesty that he was known as
"Square Timber" Noyes, took to
bis bed and died within a few
months of a broken heart, and
nothing save the action of Don
Cameron in contributing the $J60
00 In cash for political purposes,
prevented a public scandal that
should have driven the Republican
administration from power. It
was asserted that at that time Quay
contemplated suicide.
Undeterred by the murder of
these two men. In 1885 and there
after. Quay having been elected
state treasurer that year, renewed
his raids on the state treasury.
Following his brief term W. B.
Hart was elected state treasurer
and his friends have always be
lieved that his untimely death was
caused by the frightful knowledge
of the condition of the state treas
ury. Llvesy succeeded Hart. In 1888
another colossal raid was made on
the state treasury. With the as
sistance of A. WilHon Norrls, then
auditor general of Pennsylvania,
Quay secured from Llvesy $400,000
with which to purchase stock In a
Chicago traction deal. So deeply did
Ills connection with this case bear
non Norris that before the end
of the summer of 1888 he had
runic himself to death.
The colored messenger of the
state department, named Warren,
who had helped Norrls carry the
securities to Philadelphia, was
was found drowned In the Susque
hanna canal, and William Llvesy,
In 1891, fled from the state of
Pennsylvania and has never re
turned. Forced to Divide the Loot
Before he died Norris left a let
ter addressed to Senator Quay,
requesting him to see that bis wid
ow received the 110,000 which was
Bis share of this gigantic steal.
When Quay refused Mrs. Norrls
placed the matter in the hands of
Piddle & Ward, a distinguished
.rm of lawyers. The response was
lustant and it Is a curious commen
tary upon the condition of af
fairs in Philadelphia that the gen
tleman who then stepped In as rep
lesenting Mr. Quay, and forestalled
ft publls scandal of overwhelming
Ko portions, was the same ien.U-
man who within a few months has
sought to erect himself into a bul
wark between outraged cltl7.ens of
Philadelphia and demoralized ma
chine politicians. That eminently
respectable member of tho Union
League of Philadelphia, who set
tled the Quay case with Mrs. Nor
ris, was Silas W. Pettlt, chairman
of the so-called Committee of
Twenty-ono, "pure and undflled
reformers within the party lines."
Through all these years had run
the minor thievery. Favored banks,
officered by corrupt business men,
could always secure a share of the
state deposits by promising to re
built a portion of them to the poli
ticians who secured the deposits,
nnd millions of the slate's money
has been for years In the absolute
control of the political bankers of
Pennsylvania without a return of a
single cent of Interest to the state
treasury.
Criminal Episode of the People's Bank
In 1SSI8 the People's Hank of
Philadelphia, long known as a po
litical Institution, which served na
a clearing house for machine poli
ticians, closed Its doors. Immense
sums of stato moneys had been
placed there on deposit nnd loaned
Republican politicians for specula
tion or otherwise. John S. Hop
kins, the cashier, following In the
footsteps of Walters, blew out his
brains, and James McManes, presi
dent, stockholder ami politician,
made up a deficit of ffluo.OOU to
quiet a scandal; but In the dead
cashier's desk were found papers
which prove conclusively that
Quay and others had secured state
deposits to the batik In order that
they might be reloaned to them
selves Individually. One was tho
famous telegram, signed M. S.
Quay, dated St. Lucie, February 11.
1SHS: "John S. Hopkins, cashier: If
you will buy and carry luoo Met.
for me, I will shake the plum tree."
And a letter was found from Ben
jamin J. Haywood, state treasurer,
showing that the plum tree bad
been shaken; that he had placed an
additional $100.uti0 of stnte funds
in the bank, and requesting tho
loan of a similar amount to Rich
ard Quay, the son of the senator.
It. J. Haywood died suddenly a
few weeks before the time set for
his trial with Senator Quay upon
the charge of criminal conspiracy.
It Is recent history to the people of
Pennsylvania how the senior sena
tor of this great commonwealth,
brought to the bar of Justice, avoid
ed punishment for his manifold
iniquities by pleading tho Btatute
of limitations.
The Philadelphia Press In 1SR5,
In opposing tho nomination of
Quay for state treasurer, asserted
It would take the lid from off the
treasury and expose secrets before
which Republicans would stand
dumb. The lid has never been lift
ed. How much corruption seethes
within Its walls only the facile
tools of the Republican machine
can tell, unless the spectres of
Noyes, Walters, Hart, Norrls, War
ren, Hopkins and Haywood, driven
to their graves by a burden of guilt
too great to bear, lend circumstan
tial corroboration to the stories of
plunder.
Treasury Balance May Be Fictitious.
The books of the state treasury
have never been audited, although
the paper statements show a bal
anco of $111,1100.000 annually. No
school appropriation In Pennsylva
nia has ever been paid until Ions
overdue, and then only In heed of
the clamoring of the district
boards. Indeed, there Is a grave
doubt that the $10,000,000 is in the
state treasury, and It may be that
the state of Pennsylvania carries
as a portion of that asset the per
sonal notes, the memorandums of
Indebtedness and the I. O. U.'s of
politicians, many of them now out
lawed beyond redemption.
If the state treasurer's accounts
are straight, why deny Inspection to
the public? Why refuse that which
every honest trustee demands, an
auditing of his accounts? Why se
lect the most pliant tool In the em
plov of the machine for this most
responsible post? If any business
man were contemplating the ap
pointment of a treasurer to handle,
uncontrolled, the receipts of a
grent business, what sane man
would select J. Lee Plummor?
Upon his public record his ability
Is so contemptible that he has
never been admitted to the councils
of the Republican organization, his
disposition so pliant that he served
that organization as a messenger
boy without Inquiry as to the
rights or wrongs of the orders he
delivered; his record, persistently
ad verso to every good measure, and
consistently favoring every corrupt
measure. This man has made him
self Impossible to the most narrow
. partisan who holds a remnant of
self-respect.
Supported Infamous Legislation.
He was an active supporter of
the infamous Puhl bill, designed
to cripple law and order societies
In their war upon the degrading
forms of vice which menace our
great cities; he was a supporter of
the Ehrhardt bills which actually
proposed to protect the unthinkable
white slave dealers in Philadelphia
county. He supported the Susque
hanna river grab; the Snyder water
works grab; all three of the Phila
delphia ripper bills; the Grady
Salua libel law; the bill authorizing
the county commissioners Instead
of the courts of Philadelphia to ap
point election officers, to further de
bauch election conditions in Phila
delphia. The chief bill to which be
was recorded in opposition was the
bill to Increase allowances to the
township high schools.
No statement that I have made
regarding Mr. Plummer Is taken
from any other source than the
legislative record of his acts. Ha
stands convicted upon his own rec
ord of a moral feebleness and tur-
f ltude that can be equalled only by
bat of any free citizen who votes
for him. John Fisk. the distin
guished economist, shortly before
Els death bemoaned "the fallen
state of Pennsylvania morals, sunk
in bondage to petty tyrants as
cheap and vile as ever cumbered
the earth." What words could bs
used to th t re sent leaders
of that once Invincible organiza
tion? Opposed to this character the
honest citizens of Pennsylvania
have united upon a man the anti
thesis of J. Lee Plummer: a man
who is the head of a large and suc
cessful manufacturing establish
ment; an employer of labor whoso
voice has never been raised, save
In the Interest of honest govern
ment; whoso character among his
neighbors is so transcendant that
tho town of Chester, which in No
vember, 1904, gavo that magnificent
president of ours, Theodore Roose
volt, a majority of 1800, elected this
man mayor of that town In Feb
ruary by a majority of 600. That
man is William J. Perry.
The Line-Up of Political Forces.
(From the Philadelphia Press, Rep-)
On the one side Is "Iz," he of the ca
pacious pocket, and his business part
ner, "Jim," with a choice company of
retalners-for - revenue - only, whose
ranks have been seriously depleted be
cause tho presence of tho faithful Is
required behind Iron bars. The Mar
tins, Salters, Smyths, Hills, Rterrs, ot
a!., the gambling house keepers, tho
proprietors of disorderly resorts and
speak-easles. the entire criminal popu
lation of the city, the corporation
brlbe-glvers and law-making bribe,
takers, all supported by one lone,
doubtful "organ," which pipes In un
certain tones, makes up the Machine
Organization.
On the other side are tho president
of the United States, tho mayor of the
city, the secretary of state, tho secro
tary of the navy, all the respectable
newspapers of Philadelphia, with the
one exception noted, the national mag
azines nnd the press of the country
generally, tho Philadelphia preachers
of all denominations, the Pennsylva
nia Bar Association, the leading busi
ness and professional men of the city,
a splendid host of young men, fired
with the glow of patriotism, and all
tho tried and proved lenders In move
ments for civic welfare and human
betterment.
Blackmailing the Bankers.
(From the Boston Herald, Ind., Rep.)
The Pennsylvania Republicans have
been appealing to about 100 banks of
the Keystone State for campaign con
tributions to meet the expenses of the
election this fall. The banks selected
for this "touch" are those that have
been favored by deposits of the state's
money. But Is there not some limit
to the amount such banks can afford to
contribute for the sake of holding de
posits of the public funds? If cam
paign contributions must bo made each
year, and If banks holding public funds
must loan money to political bosses
whenever they desire It, we should sup
pose that the outgo might be greater
than the Income. Presumably all the
banks will not pull together In this
matter. If they did they could refuse
to be bled for campaign contributions
or to grant loans to political bosses;
but there are those morally weak In
business as well as In polities. That
class will yield and share the profits
they make from holding the stato's
money with those who are of service
to them In .-- '""" nrlvllege.

While permitting the Bible to be
circulated in Turkey, the Turkish

"Come over into Macedonia and help
