CENTRE HALL, PA., THURS, FEB. 15 CAUSES OF THE PANIC, The true and real causes of the re- cent financial depression, and the con- sequent suspension of manufacturing ests, should be carefully studied by the voter who desires to exercise the right of suffrge intelligently and with a view of doing what he can to correct the po- litical evils that have country. When President Cleveland surren- dered his office on March 4, 1889, there was a surplus in the United States Treasury of upwards of one hundred millions of dollars. The question which confronted the administration of President Harrison upon its advent to power, was, what shall be done with the surplus? Secretary Blaine and other prominent Republicans favored a distribution among the several States. But this device was abandon- ed and the Reed Congress of 1889-00 adopted the plan of increasing appro- er expenditures not immediately nec- tered into by the government, that re- quire continuous many millions of dollars in excess of the ordinary expenditures. This reck- less extravagance has caused that body to bear the odious sobriquet of the Billion Dollar Congress. While the surplus left in the Treasury by Mr. Cleveland's first administration was to make assurance doubly sure that no the McKinley tariff law. While act placed sugar on the free list, and gave the sugar producers a bounty that averages about ten millions of dollars per annum, thus depriving the Government of an annual revenue of some seventy millions of dollars, and bilities, it imposed such enormous du- ties on other articles as to prevent im- portations in some instances and to in- duce undervaluations and smuggling, all of which operated to reduce the al necessities of the Government. Meanwhile the absurd and mischiev- ous “Sherman Act” which required that the Government should pay out eT ARAB AR EAR 3 AS the McKinley Tariff’ Law, left the Treasury bankrupt, with a deficiency in the revenues of nearly Fifty Mill ions of Dollars, when he surrendered office on March 4, 1893, When the Government itself lacks the revenues necessary to meet its lia- bilities, it naturally follows that the creditor class among its subjects will lose confidence in the ability of the debtor class to meet its obligations. The Harrison administration brought the Government to this pass and is re- sponsible for the financial and indus- trial disasters that have supervened. The Democratic party, through Presi- dent Cleveland and the present Con- gress, has already corrected the fatal blunder of the Sherman Silver Purch- asing Act and under the instruction of A Urimioal at Large. Charles Hallen, the man who sever- al weeks ago tried to kill his wife with a hatchet, near DuBois, and who was afterwards captured, made his escape from the Clearfield jail on Saturday night. He is described as being a man about five feet nine inches tall; weight from 165 to 170 pounds, smooth face; right cheek, dark hair; wore stiff’ hat, light trousers, dark brown overcoat, inp mms A A BABI EXPLOSIVES.

The was, that the holders of United BStates securities, cognizant of the fact that the revenues of our Government were falling short many millions of dollars of its actual requirements, became alarmed and the Harrison consequence throwing their holdings of United Btates securities upon our market. The outflow of gold thus induced had the effect of producing a stringency in the money market, which was follow- ed by a loss of confidence in banning institutions, which were in turn obliged to call in their loans or close their doors, and the end of it all was a stoppage of the wheels of industry and business, Such was the condition which econ- fronted the administration of Mr. Cleveland when it assumed the reins of power on March 3, 1883. The new President was obliged to call Congress together in extra session in order to provide ways and means to avert the disaster which threatened the country. At Mr. Cleveland's suggestion Con- gress repealed the “Sherman Act’ and at once confidence in the banks was restored and many of those institu- tions which had suspended, resumed operations. Money again became abun- dant in the great financial centres and now awaits distribution throughout the country through the marketing of products of farm and mill and factory. The passage of the Wilson tariff bill by the House of Representatives has al- ready given a great impetus to manu- factures. Mills and factories that have been idle since last spring are now starting up and the number of the un- employed grows smaller day by day. When free raw materials for the man- ufacturers and cheaper necessaries of life for the workingmen shall have been assured by the passage of the Wil- son tariff bill in the Senate, an era of activity in production and trade will surely set in which will prove to be one of substantial and enduring pros perity. The salient points to be remembered and reflected upon by the intelligent voter, therefore, are 1. President Cleveland left the Treasury with a surplus exceeding One Hundred Millions of Dollars when he surrendered office on March 4 1859. 2. Ex-President Harrison, owing to the hurtful legislation of the Reed “Congress of 1889-90, including the ~ Bherman Silver Purchasing Act and pins i THE STATE OUT OF DEBT, Thirty-five years ago our state was | loaded down with an indebtedness of over 40 million dollars : now this b | been practically wiped out and taxa- | tion should be lightened, especially | upon our farmers, The total debt of the state of Penn- | sylvania on November 30, 1883, was ax i $5,288 061.28, and there were bonds and | eash in the sinking fund to pay this amount to $5,883 064.61, leaving the | net debt $2,404,996 67, tbut even this | could be wiped out if necessary, for there was a cash balance in the gene- ral fund on the same date of $4,040,576. 79, enough tojpay the entire net debt and leave a balance of $2.585.5680.12, so that Pennsylvania has no debt, and has a large cash balance in its favor, the result of careful financiering on the part of our state officials, The reduction of the state debt be- | gan under Gov's (Shunk and [Bigler, { and has continued under successive ad- ministrations down to the present. sc m————— An exchange puts it in this way, and puts it correctly to. “We would not trust a man near a hen house who would order a newspaper stopped through a postmaster when he is in arrears. It is a cowardly way of refus- ing to pay an honest debt.” saan en—— Postal Note Abolished. After July 1st the postal note is to be abolished and the postoffice money or- der system is to be so arranged that orders not exceeding $2.50 may be bought for three cents; and the fee is graduated until it is 30 cents for orders amounting to $75 and under $100, tp Large Amount of Coal Mined.
