HAMILTON has t the question in our last issue whether if elected to the State Legislature he woul vote for M. S. Quay’s re-election to the U. S. Senate. We now think he would, as he seems unwilling to answer that point, {1ton will be voting for M, 8. Quay also. Remember that. Dr. DoANE, of Union, N.Y, state, | Dr. Doane and has come out for Cleveiand. formerly resided at Williamsport, is a very prominent republican. recognized as a wan of ability and quite a popular campaign orator. Some years ago he addressed a republican meeting in Bellefonte. Dr. Doan’s change is an indication of what many more will quietly do on election day. - -— Tue republicans have instituted pro- ceedings in the supreme court, at Pitts. burg, to have the present Baker Ballot law declared unconstitutional. They declared several years ago for such leg- islation, the bill was framed by them and Gov. Pattison signed it, because the republicans passed it. As it will prevent them from intimidating voters and buying wholesale, now they want it repealed. - Me. CArNeGIE has endowed thirteen libraries in Scotland. The republican tariff enabled him to exact his many millions which he has since taken back to Europe. It would have been better for nm to have paid the workingmen, | at Homestead, better wages and in that way it would have brightened many a workingman’s home, and the money | would have remained in this country. Great is protection (7?) - _-. hh Tue penny-liner who sends so many sensational and unfounded reports to the city papers from Bellefonte ought to be called down. From last week's papers, there was no water in Centre county and the fish wereall dead, typhoid fever was raging in most places and so forth. It simply was untrue; the reporter must have been financially embarrassed and hard up for a bit of news. . —- Hox, Geo. F. Krips, of Clarion county, will be returned to congress from this district with little or no oppo sition; it will only be a question of majorities. He made a good represen. tative during the last term and always was found on the right side and on time when he was needed. We have no knowledge of a single democrat who will not support him, and there will be many republicans vote for him. THE republicans have received several very appropriate and timely accessions to their ranks within the last month. They are O'Donaven Rossa, the dyna- miter, Herr Most, the anarchist, and Michael C. McDonald, the Chicago gambler. served terms in prison for serious crimes and McDonald is now under bail for bribery. No doubt these men have noticed what class of statesmen vote the republican ticket and flopped inorder that they may have congenial associa~ tions. Why does not the Gazette note these worthy (7) accessions to the cause of protection. Surely they are practical exponents of the cause, and fit compan. ions of Hackett and Martin. Tne democrats must have the house and senate, as well as the president, if they expect to enforce their tariff re. form ideas. The present democratic majority in the house can not well be oyercome, but the republicans still have a spall majority in the senate, A dem. ocratic senator in place of Quay, whose successor will be chosen by the next legislature, would make a change of two in favor of the democrats. Quay can only save himself by securing repunlican members in democratic counties, He expects to secure the election of Ham. fiton in this county. Are there auy democrats willing to assist him by vot. ing against either McCormick orScho. fleld?

His wisdom and humane administration of 1860 did more to build up republicanism than anything else; it secured for that party [ the confidence bestowed upon it since | then. During the men like ex-Governor Curtin, Hon. A. K. Mec. | Clure, Secretary McCullough and others | were Lincoln's near friends and private | counselors, because they were heart and { soul in sympathy with him in his ad. ministration and his policies. All these {men have renounced their political | faith in tho degenerate republicanism of | to-day, because that party has departed from its moorings of 1880, and the teach- | ings of their great leader and memora- | ble president, In a letter written a short time before he was assassinated, Abraham Lincoln wrote and predicted as follows: war eminent “I see in the near future a crisis ap- proaching that un-nerves me, and | causes me to tremble for the safety of | my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its | reign by working upon the prejudices of | | the people until all wealth is aggregated | in the hands of a few and the Republic | is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my coun- try than ever before, even in the midst of war.” That is the condition of our country to-day—exactly what Lincoln predicted in 1864, ‘“As a result of the war” tariff duties were leyied to collect revenue, to meet the heavy expenses it incurred. That system kept out foreign competi- tion and gave the home market to the “money powers,” who have grown to | gigantic proportions. ‘‘Corporations | have been enthroned’ since 1864 that | " . » { are drawing the ve y sap, life and blood {out of the many million toilers in our | i 4 | | great conntry. They are enthroned in | | power, and they hye 0 retained the lead- | ers of the republicari party to continue their existence by favorable legislation senate and by | in congress, in the U. 8, the president. To-day is a great “era of corruption,” Thousands and thousands of dollars, as {in 1888, are being contributed by the | Corporations, purpose of debauching the voters of New York, Indiana and West Vir lginia. It was John Wanamaker who collected 8400 000 in 1888 and turned it | | over to Quay to continue the republican party in power. Andrew Carnegie, for | legislated, has contributed his many | thousands for Harrison's re-election, | {and so have others, until the total | reaches many millions. The money | power is doing all it can to “prolong its | reign by working upon the prejudices of | the people.” { would be with Gov. Curtin, Col.

Because he, years ago. was engaged in the hotel business, it is assumed that he would be in favor of granting license for every cross-road hotel or lunch room in the county. That is nonsense. Mr, Faulkner is not that kind of a man, decidedly the opposite; at the same time he is not a crank either, but one of those calm, deliberate, reserved and thought. ful men who would preside with dignity and would always endeavor to deal out to each his just deserts, Above all, he would not be a tool for the present re. publican judgs to manipulate, the money power) for the And were Lincoln spared | | to-day, we have no doubt but that he | grave and threatening evils to our | re to be elected this fall | tive, senatorial, judicial and congres. | Democrats, if you de | : ANOTHER LESSON, We wish to call the attention of our farmers to another object lesson on the tariff, which comes directly to their no- tice. The Gazette recently contained the following article: Hon. Leonard Rhone, of Centre Hall, for the Grangers of Pennsylvania, has placed a contract for all the twine T. Bailey & Co., of Philadelphia, which firm refused to join the Binders’ Twine Trust. It is estimated that during the past year 100,000 pounds of binding twine were used by the American farmers in harvesting their crops. On binding twine there is a tariff duty of 7.10 of a cent per pound. On the total consump. tion that would be a total of #700, 000, which our farmers must pay out on account of this tariff duty. About forty binding twine factories are in operation In this country, under the name of the National Cordage Com- pany. That means that they control the supply, and since the tariff keeps out the foreign twine manufacturer, by the tax of almost a cent on every pound {raported, these forty mills regnlate the home price, and in a busy harvest sea. son twine invariably jumps up a couple of cents, and it comes off the poor far- mer, The tariff keeps the foreign goods out and enables the National Cordage Com. American market. In the last session of congress the democrats introduced a bill to put bind. ing twine on the free list; the republi. can party defeated the bill and it never became a law. Instead, their MeKin. ley bill put a duty of 7-10 of a cent on do you like it ? Farmers who approve of such legisla. lation will vote again for President Har. rison, who signed this infamous Me. Kinley bill ; those who do not believe in being taxed to death, for the benefit of the trusts, will yote for Cleveland. On November Sth your choice, You make » -— MeKlaley Frosperity. According to President Harrison every | thing is prosperous under the McKinley tariff. ls it evidence of prosperity that 40,000 workmen during August were on a strike or locked out? Is it evidence of prosperity that in the iron and steel busi. ness, the most highly protected on the list, except the clothing of the people, | there has been a reduction of wages of from 10 to 20 per cent? Is Home | stead an object lesson that high tariff is for labor and not for capital’ Finally in The Bulletin of the Iron and Steel Association we find these admissions: “We have never known a period in | the history of the American iron trade when prices have been so generally low | and unremunerative as during the past twelve months, and yet production has never been so great. The explanation | of the continued low prices is that our producing capacity is still beyond ony enormous consumptive wants,” Does not this enforce the necessity of looking beyond the home market to dis | pose of our surplus? Is it not an admis sion, coupled with conceded facts, that McKinleyism has forced down wages and brought about low and unremuner | ative prices, the lowest “in the history | of the American iron trade? — Pittaburg Post, Republican “Calamity Prophets.” Republican editors who have crit | icised the Democrats as “‘croakers” and | “calamity prophets” will be pained to | soo that their own leaders have become #0 deeply alarmed that they have taken up their tale of woe and am taking the | air blue with prophecies of ruin. Chair man Tom Carter gives out to hig Re ab- lican organs ap interview in ich he | shows that he is wrestling with fear And doubt; but he nevertheless hopes tht | “the common sense of the people will | prevent tarning the country over to final ruin.” Chairman Carter's doleful fore | are fortified with gwful political w. | predictions by S#hitor Aldrich and tary Charles Foster. These two | of evil assure the American peop that if | Cleveland is elected the United States senate and house will also be Demo. | cratic, and Foster says that “such a re- or phets sult would be an undjsguised calamity | MUS necessarily be all poweriul, and | go | to the American people.” | Another cup of “calamity ¢ ens!” The Republican outlook for Vichy on | Nov. 8 has made the prophets unusually | blue, They should byace up.

Today they sell their grain at 70 conta, or a loss of 25 cents on every bushel. On every 100 bushels they will lose #25, and some who have 1000 bush. els on hand lose 8250.00, All farmers who like the McKinley bill will vote for Harrison, who made it a law; those op. posed to receiving low prices for their grain, will vote for Cleveland. In this matter you ean vote for whom you wish; but you can't get more than 70 cents a bushel for your wheat.

Mr. Cleveland, during his entire ad. | { ministration, and since his retirement | [to private life, has always shown the { heartiest sympathy for the honest sol | | dier, and his administration did more | for the eause of pensions than any other since the war, not excepting Mr. Har- | rison’s. It is true, he stood like a rock | against the abuse of our pension system | by the camp-follower and skulker, who | demoralizes the army in time of war and | disgraces the in time of peace. He has always insisted that the { pension roll should be a roll of honor, true soldier {and all honest soldiers who merited pen. | i sions he welcomed with a generosity | that far surpassed that of his republican | predecessors, But the fraudulent claim. {ant had no place under is administra. | tion, and the Raums and the Dudleys | were unknown in the departments, as | well As jobbers and profligates of all | classes and descriptions. The crusade | now waged against him by the republi- can party is most unjust, and will most certainly recoil upon those who have in- augurated it when the facts are fully | known and impartially considered. Mr, Cleveland signed more pension bills than any other president. Lineoln { signed #4 private pension bills, Johnson { 431, Grant in eight years 536, Hayes 324, | Arthur 906, and Cleveland 1825. Presi. { dent Harrison during his term has not {signed half as many private pension bills as @id Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland's | approval of pensions is not confined to | private bills. He approved the act in. | creasing the pensions of our 10,000 | maimed soldiers from 824 to #30, from {#30 to #84, and from $37.50 to $45 per { month. In the same year he signed the { act increasing the pensions of 80,000 | widows of soldiers from #5 to $12 per { month, and by the humane efforts of | | bis administration these extra pensions | | were issued to these widows without { Any expense to the claimants. He signed | an act giving pensions to 30,000 surviv. | | ors and widows of the Mexican | and he also signed a general law reliey.

A few days after | this the professors and students of | | Harvard organized a Cleveland Club, | | with professor Elliott as chairman of | | the meeting. Now twenty-three of the { thirty professors of Amberst college | | have issued an address, calling upon the | otem of the country, irrespective of | party, to elect Cleveland. Only a few years ago all, or nearly all, college pro. { fessors were republicans of the strongest type. Now this is all changed, and | the college Influence is with the demo. | eracy. The infloence of these people ] | will add thousands of votes to the cause {of tariff reform. The reasons that brought about these changes are the {same that drove Wayne Mac Veagh, | Judge Gresham, Judge Cox, Carl Schurz | and men of that stamp outof the re | publican party. Not since the Tilden campaign have so many prominent men come over to the democratic party, This is significent and shows the strong cur rent in favor of our cause, Ex.Gov. D, H. Chamberlain, always heretofore a staunch republican, ade dressed a democratic “meeting in the Academy of Musie in Philadelphia on Inst Saturday night. Wm, Everett, of Mass, also a republican, made a speech at the same meeting. Both these gen. temen came over to Cleveland upon | est THE INDEPENDENT VOTE When parties are as evenly balanced as they are in this country, the so-called independent vote becomes very im. { portant. Whatever party is fortunate | enough to secure this vote will always | be successful. In 1876 Mr, Tilden re. { ceived the majority of the independent | vote, and was elected by a majority of |% quarter of a million. In 1884 Mr. | Cleveland received a fair proportion of this vote and was elected, but in 1858 | the independent vote was against him | und and he was defeated. In the pres. {ent campaign this class of voters overwhelmingly for Cleveland, and un- less all signs fail he will be elected. The independent vote is found mostly | among the business men. the educators | of the country and the German Ameri. | cans represented by the Gresham's, the is { Elliotts. and the Schurzs’. All these | elements are now actively supportin Cleveland and Stevenson.

The same is true of nearly | all the educational institutions of the | country. | Another element of strength in Mr. Cleveland is the German American vote, | which has always been largely republi- | can. Under the leadership of Carl Shurz, Oswald Ottenderfer and others, & national German American Cleveland Union has been formed, with state or. ganizations, and clubs in nearly every town in the country.
