T HAT the democrats were right on the tariff question is now admitted by the republicans of Iowa, Minnesota, Michi. gan and other western states, and of Massachusetts. The republicans are divided upon the tariff, are becoming convinced that it is working to the injury of the masses, and is producing millions for the trusts at the expense of the toil. ers. THE Penvsylvania Railroad Compsny is to pay the city ot New York$2,000,000 for the franchise of a rapid transit tun nel under the streets of that city. Bat Judge Pennypacker says, and Governor Stone concurs with him, that it is be neath the functions of a great State to “peddle” out franchises in that way. The Pennsylvania way is to dispose of franchises to speculators in corrupt legis. lation, not that they may provide greater facilities of transit, but that they may blackmail an existing railway corpora. tion. By this wholesale plan, as dis tinguished from the small peddiing way, millions were diverted to the pockets of the operators in Machine legislation in. stead of being paid into the municipal treasury. THE next raid the state plunderers will make, if Pennypacker is elected governor, will be the stealing of the valuable coal beds under the rivers The attempt was made last winter to pass damnable legisiation to accomplish this piece of robbery. But for the vigil. ance of a democratic member of the house the plot would bave succeeded, and coal lands worth upwards of fifty million dollars would have been thrown into the laps of a dozen or more machine politi. cians. Pennvpacker could see “no ills” in this attempted outrage and will pat his signature to a bill if presented to him should he unfortunately be elected gov- ernor, s——————— I¥ men would vote for their very best Interests for a Congressional candidate in this district they would not vote for a man like Dresser who places the dollar above the man and who talks stuff to the common voters while he wines and dines in great splendor the politicians and wire-pullers in the big towns. No man who knows Dresser will credit him with doing anything else in Congress than stand by whatever the millionaires (and he is one of them himself) want, because his wants will be their wants and his vote will always be,cast for the amelioration of the corporation classes as against the working classes who most need, God knows, the benefits of legis lation in these days. D. E. Hibsoer, of DuBois, is a man of the people and there isu'ta man who knows him who does not have confidence in his voting every time for the best interests of the people and against further domination of money over men, THERE bave been several thousand strikes in the past twenty years, all re. sulting from a complaint by the laboring men that the combinations of capital re. fuse to do them justice. The tan bas bred the trusts and the trusts are not ovly dealing wrongfully with the toilers but are pinching the millions of con. sumers and thereby becoming multi. mil. lionaires who are reaping all the ““oros. perity”, and a few are impoverishing the many. What the democrats alleged years ago that the tariff was a robbery of the people is now being realized by the strikes—high prices in all the peo. ple need and low prices for what the farmer and others have to sell. The re. publican party, which has been the high tariff party, is responsible for all this trouble and sad condition. Thousand of republicans are now becoming disgusted and are going with the democrats in the western and some of the eastern states, in favor of tariff reform. ‘‘Prosperty” has not ntruck the toillers to whom it was ENDORSED BY THE LABORING MEN. Undoubted wisdom was shown by the Central Trades and Labor Council, of DuBois, last week, when William C. Heinle was unanimously endorsed for re. election as State Senator. The action was entirely unsolicited and came as a complete surprise to both Senator Heinle and the public, as it is not usually com patible with such organizations to take cognizance of political candidates, unless special attention, Conditions are that way this fall and carpenters, machinists, railroaders and cil see in Senator Heinle the friend of labor and a man who may upon to stand with it in every fight for the right. Following the reading of this of the United Mine Workers present, as well as of other labor unions, spoke in favor of Senator Hemle, impressing upon their fellow tradesmen that the Senator from the 34th district had “‘sup- ported all bills favorable to labor’ dur ing histerm. Mr, Heinle isthe people's nominee and the people will Jovally sup. port him a' the polis in November, During the meeting at DuBois the fol. lowing communication from the State League of American Workmen was read: To the Wage Workers of the 34th Sen- alorial District: It is the business of our Committee to watch Labor Legislation, keep a record of the votes of Senators and Representa. tives and report the same to their con- stituents. into this supervision, it being bat too well known that little or no legislation of a strictly party character is ever enacted at Harrisburg, where the Legislators are drawn up on corporation and anti cor. porationfiines the very few being ou the side of the latter. Corporations own and control the legislature and force the other hand, seek to defeat every candi date who has proven himself honest and incorruptible. In our twenty years’ ex perience, no Lo gisiator the owner great part of the stucks or for good labor laws and such men never will, their professed personal being opposed to laws of that character. You: Senator Hon. William C. Heinle has a record free from the least aint of trust, and united support. And you, ignoring party lines and seeking only the advancement of united labor, that greatest and best bulwark against the oprosition of trust combinations, will protect yourselves by resorting to all honorable means for his re election it not be said at any time that the sons honest to their fel'ow men, can no longer be heard in our Halls of Legislation. Per Votes of Committee, C. W. JOYCE, Secretary. PENNYPACKER'S VISIT. Judge Pennypacker and his party of republican speilbinders arrived in town | ou Thursday afternoon's train, last week, and later repaired to the Centre county fair ground. They were immediately escorted to the grand stand and as they passed to their seats there was an effort in various sections of the building to start a demonstration, but the rooters were alone in the effort. The party remained for some time watching the fly. ers come under the wire, or the one- legged acrobats turning flippers on the trapeze and the man up in the balloon taking his drop in a parachute, During the races, the man with the steam cali ope voice in the tower, who yells at the i drivers, got up and announced to the | public that a meeting would be held in the Court House that evening which | would be addressed by the Hon. Samuel | Peouypacker, “the next governor of | Pennsylvania.” This last comment | evoked a pleasant smile from the root. | ers, retainers and “pap” buaters who bung around and almost smothered Quay’s candidate by excessive attention. No sooner was the announcement made than Frank Blair, timekeeper, hung out the official slate on which in large char- | acters was inscribed the word “NIT.” The idea caught like a flash, a great how! and applause followed that sent Pennypacker stock down to the zero point. It was a significant test of public sentiment on the gubernatorial question. Next our friend Ed.Chambers got in his work. When Pennypacker was here on his last trip Hastings monopolized the candidate and the Chambers gang were outside. As Pennypacker is a cousin of Mrs. Chambers he was billed to dine at Edward's festive board Thursday even. ing. The other local invited guests were Hon. John G. Love, Col. W, Fred Reyn- old, Wm. E. Gray, Harry Keller and Joseph I. Montgomery, In the evening, the meeting in the court house, which was billed far and wide, took place. Two bands, cases of fireworks, special trains from the col- lege, even failed to fill the court house for at no time were the seats filled. Col, | W. PF. Reeder presided and speeches were made by Judge Pennypacker, Sena: | tor W. M. Brown, candidate for Lieut, Governor, Hou. 8. R. Dresser, candidate for Congress and Hon, James W.

The rising tide of sentiment against Pennypackerism as the clearly seif-revealed counterpart Quayism, is to be soted in all parts the state The Democratic candidates have ap peared in of the commonwealth nearly half of the counties addressing over ! half a hundred meetings, representing ! all classes of people, all kinds of work ers in the great fields of industry, and it is the universal testimony of friend and foe that the indications of success at the polls are beyond all precedent In every instance Republican voters have come forward with expressions of sym- pathy and support. Thousands of far mers have driven long distances over the rugged hills and through the deep valleys of Central Pennsylvania to tes. tify their loyalty to the cause of politi. eal regeneration and good government Likewise, multitudes of strong armed workingmen, after their day's toll was ended, have come forward from the mill, the shop, the forge, the forest oftentimes of wide influence, and the mine, to uphold the principles in the maintenance of which they are vitally interested to declare their mighty purpose to use effectively the freeman's greatest weapon for righting humanity's wrongs—an honest ballot { The chorus for reform has been swollen from the office, the counting room, the country store, the mercantile estab lishment, educational and public Insti. tutions which have felt the burden and injustice of misrule The Democratic and Independent | press never showed such a solid and invincible front to the enemy.
