They expect to elect one of the mem. bers in this county by obtaining demo- cratic votes for Hamilton. Democrats be on your guard. A vote for either Dale or Hamilton is a vote for Quay for United States Senator, and a vote for republican apportionments, legislative, senatorial, judicial and congressional. There is too much at stake to risk even a complimentary vote for either of the candidates, ii dis. insure an anti-Quay majonty remain firm democratic Tie Massachusetts Independents have issued an address to the voters of the country endorsing the candidates and principles of the democratic party. The address is signed by Henry I. Peirce | and Theodore Lyman, both ex.congress. men elected as republicans, Wm, Lloyd Gamison, Prof. N. 8. Shaler, President Elliott, of Harvard University, Charles Francis Adams, Prof. Norton, Richard H. Dana, and many other men of prom. ineace, and all old-time republicans, The address denounces the adminis tration of President Harrison and urges the election of Mr. Cleveland in the strongest terms. After asserting that many of the independents voted for Harrison in 1858 and give their reasons for their support of Cleveland now, they close the address in the following forceful language: “We trust Mr. Cleveland as a man who has never deceived us. His elec. tion, in our judgment, is demanded by every public consideration, and we urge all our fellow citizens, thereof, to give him their hearty support.” This address, with the declarations | of Judge Gresham, Wayne Mac Veagh | and other prominent republicans, shows | the immense force of the current in | favor of Mr. Cleveland. His election, it seems to us, is now only a question of | majority. {jet the DEsoc RAT, voted for | the interests of his party and his people. | ted, and should | Mr. | ‘aulkner and the republicanism of the |i court will speedily become a thing of | nominees, | of Centre Is chiefly composed of people engaged in the agricultural the prosper rood crops The population county pursuits, | prosper, community at large alik When the farmers and receive good prices to pay with the anfovs have for the same, they are able promptly all obligations; and balance pe et or.) toil, or the profit they can purchase things | make the home cheerful | and the burdens of life much easier those { which To) more During the past few years the crops nour county have been large: there Was an many of our farmers They can’t are cramped for money. meet their many the increase and Sheriff Ishler is com- { pelled to tack up a bill of sale on many a poor toiler’s barn door, and take what little there is left, to satisfy lenders.

Boss McKinley promis them like fav. ors by placing high protective tariffs upon the products of the farm and sent them home rejoicing to dream of the good times coming in the McK era of great prosperity. THE RESULT. We need not repeat the condition of the farmer as we find him to-day. to show one of the causes leading to his financial distress we will try what the McKinley bill has PROMISES, ing ject. Linley and show done for the farmer in one of the main products | of the farm. On October 6th, 180, the | famous McKinley bill went into effect, which greatly raised the cost upon the | necessaries of life in his home and upon {the farm implements, At that date, we find by referring to the files of the CENTRE DEMOCRAT, | millers, Bellefonte, were paying to the | farmers of Nittany Valley the following | prices for their grain: October 6th, 1500. {| Rod wheat. Se White wheat Je The McKinley bill a at that ¢ time put a duty of 25 cents on a bushel of wheat and that was the part of the divy tie | farmers were have for voting for , Harrison, and they were again made happy. It is now two years since that bill went into force and what has been the result? What part of the divy did the farmers get? Jackson & Co., to according to the last market quotations, are paying the fol- | lowing prices: October 20, 1802 Red Wheat ween White wheat. . «Be Now if the McKinley tariff of 2 25 cents | a bushel, actually protects the farmer {and is a benefit as the repablicans say, | this protection brought about a’ clean loss of 25 cents on every bushel of wheat he sells. Is that not correct? Can you | prove the contrary? Dare these cold facts be denied by an honest man? No, not one, The THE TRUTH, The real truth of this matter is that | we can not directly charge the McKin- {ley bill for the decline of the price of wheat. The price of grain, in this | country, Is regulated by the price of "our surplus wheat shipped to Liverpool, 904 bushels | When they | el ising from their abu Niance of everything, yet | the | ! in its platfor m—that we | But | Jackson & Co. | England, where it comes in competition with the product of the grain of South America, plains of India.
