Vote for Heinle. friend —————— Now that the strike is over, let the prosecution of the coal combination, the beef trust, and the other trusts, go ahead, for their violation of the constitution and laws, - - PATTON put.on the price of coal, when he caught the public in a pinch. Do you want him for Senator, or Mr. Heinle who never pinched a fellow man in hus life? Wao has benefited by the strike? Ask the soft coal! operators of Penaosyl. vania, who for several weeks past have been selling coal at their mines for from $s to $550 per ton which normally fetches from $1 10 to §1 40 perton. “It's an ill wind,” etc.—Phila. Record, Yes, Patton, now a machine candidate for Senator, in this district, a coal mine owner, is ove of the operators who put up the price of soft coal. Patton is one of the men who made thousands by that game, Vote for Heinle, for senator. Joux C. Rowe is one of Philipsburg's prominent business men who has con- ducted a merchant tatloring establish ment He liable, industrious, and of genial disposi. tion. ficial as Recorder, vote. in that city for years is re 3 He would be a most obliging of He is worthy of your A. G. ARCHEY has made a careful and efficient Register. That department has been carefully managed under his io cumbency. He is a fine penman, has clerical ability and thoroughly compre. bends the duties of the office. He is obliging and gewoerous. He has done well and is entitled to a re-election. Waes E. A. Hampton began to col. lect taxes in Snow Shoe township that district had a poor debt of $2,000, with a 10 mills levy and a large school debt be- sides. He reorganized that department 50 completely that today both the poor and school districts of Snow Shoe town- ship are out of debt and only § mills have to be levied for poor purposes. That kind of a man will do good work in the county commissioners’ office. He is a credit to himself, he is respected in his locality and would make a good account. ing to the people. Tur last Republican Board of County Commissioners, Riddle and Fisher, paid during the three years they were in office $817 80 for clerical work, which was done outside of the office. This was work divided around to political roost. ers over the county. When Philip Meyer was elected he called a halt ou this abuse and during the last three years only $10.80 was paid for clerical work caused by the suspension of business in the office for a few days, due to the death of Commissioner Riddle. Yon can go and see the records, if you doubt this statement. The politicians don't like a man like Mr, Meyer; and when you hear him abused depend on it there is always something not just right back of it all, We leave it to any fairminded repub. lican if it would not have been the action of a philanthropist on the part of a mil- lonaire like Mr. Patton, having doubled his sale of soft coal on account of the bard coal strike, if he had reduced the price of his soft coal instead of putting it up about three-fold because of the strike in the hard coal section? That would have been the deed of any rich philaa. thropist. And Patton could well afford to have done this in the days of the peo- ple’s distress during the strike, His sale of soft coal was doublea heoace his pro- fits would have been the same, but in- stead of being the philanthropist, he was along with all the rest, in the hour of their distress, the past six months. LIBELS REFUTED, Some machine organs and orators are fond of charging that the democrats are enemies of the country and the cause of hard times. This libel they are guilty of in absence of anything bad about the democrats, and to cover up their own gross iniquities. The democrats made this country great and powerful, Every page in the history of the country that we are proud of, is a bright epoch in the history of the democratic party, and the Centre Democrat will here briefly sum up the truth of history to show that these fellows are as reckless in their charges as in iniquities they have been guilty of. In the days of the Revolution the thirteen colonies comprised only a nar- row strip of land along the Atlantic coast with three million inbabitants, Now the country is one of the greatest territorially, on the globe. From the narrow strip of land we grew until our boundaries reached from the Atlantic to the Pacific, giving us all the magnificent states of the West and the golden shores of California and the richness of the Rockies in precious metals. All this as- tounding growth was through the policy of the democratic party, and every foot of this vast territory, whether obtained by purchase, annexation or acquisition, was bitterly fought and opposed by the opposition to the democratic party. There is no denial of this—it is history. Had these self righteous libelers succeed- ed in their opposition to adding this mag- pificent territory, the United States to- day would be confined to the thirteen original colonies with a parrow strip of land, and one, or perhaps more, great foreign empires would be neighbors ad. | joining this republic to harass it. Who played the part of enemies of this coun- try in this bright page of our country’s history 7 Surely not the democrats, Then again these libeler:s, who can find nothing to cover up their own in- iquities, charge that the democratic party is the cause of bard times. The Centre Democrat will look into that for a moment : The first great panic began | " 1 | dent in his letter, reprimands Quay by in 1873; the republican party was then in power baving the President and both houses of Congress, and a high tariff of their own enacting. That the country to its centre. panic shook The republi- can party had then been in power al- ready twelve years. Well, the demo- crats can’t be blamed for that mighty crash, The republicans remained in power eleven years thereafter, and un. der their rule came the tramps, hard times, strikes, and other evils. Alaska was the ouly land not purchased under | the democrats, but its purchase had their 1S approval REDUCED EXPENSES. Philip Meyer, as one of the County Commissioners, during his term, wiped out a county indebtedness of $8 352 10. The tax rate is at the lowest possible potch, Public business and property have been carefully protected. That is the substance of his three years’ work. Every honest man must admit that such a record merits approval, E. A. Humpton, as tax collector in Suow Shoe township, in a few wiped out a $2,000 debt and reduced the taxes one half, from 10 to § mills. Elect him to be a County Commissioner and you will have a man who will take care of public funds. Some fellows don't want Meyer and Humpton elected ; if you study the mat. ter you can understand why. The farm. ers and tax payers want men in the commissioners’ office: first, who are honest ; second, men who have ability ; third, men who can not be twisted around the fingers of political rooters who, like buzzards, have a keen scent for anything that 1s tainted and rotten, | which may open the way for them to | plunder public funds, QUAY “CALLED DOWN." | Quay's disregard for the law has sub jected him to a “call down" by the presi. dent and attorney general of the United States. Quay bad made an attempt to force Federal office holders in this state to contribute to the Pennypacker cam- paign fund, by sending them circular let- velt’s attention was called to the matter, for an opinion and after givmg a review of the manner | in which Quay sent out the circulars, | says that the law positively prohibits such practice. President Roosevelt then sent a warn. ing to all office holders, to the effect that officials must not be any way concerned from the The Presi. in schemes to obtain money employes of the government name, cn Coal will be sold at the mines at old prices, TopAy the mine:s go to work about $4 75, but the retail dealers in some sections talk of keeping the price up to i $15. Don’t pay it, it's as bad as Patton : putting up the price of soft coal when he | saw the people were in a pinch, and then asks the people to vote for bim for state | senator to boot. Vote for Heinle, | - that he a legislative fight and SCHOONOVER realized is dead duck in the like a sensible man will waste po more In 1884 the democrats elected a Presi. ! dent and it caused no panic or hard of its own-times that came in 18g; when times, by any policy were The Cleveland good under admivistration, second pani was President the re. publicans had been in power during the four years previous ; the McKinley tanff was still in force, under its workings the panic set in and that tariff measure was only repealed by the democrats a year after the panic set in, for want of power in the to Congress repeal the McKinley law sooner. There were other measures of the republican party on the statute books, like the Sherman financial act, and such, that failed to avoid and trouble, in 1893 So that from this showing, and it can not be gain said, the libelers of the democrats, in charging them with being enemies of the country aod the cause of hard times, are simply engaged in the cry of ‘Stop thief.” DRESSER MONEY. During the past week stories have come to our attention that republican heelers are traveling over the commty loaded with money which they are dis. tributing freely, Some of these chaps have been known to spend over a hun- dred dollars in a single community buy. ing booze and fixing up the boys. Dresser is a millionaire who'sald he would spend $40,000 to get to Congress and seems to be doting it. Money is flowing freely in some chan. nels, and if it will continue at the present rate it will cost hin more than $40.000 The only trouble about the spending of such a sum is that only a few roosters get the pull and the rest must suck their thumbs, - . SATURDAY Capt. Hugh 8. Taylor re- turned to Ashland, Pa., to take charge - of Company B. Just as to when the | strike will be declared settled is very un. certain and he may not be able to be bome to attend the election. This gives his opponent, Henry Lowry, a clear field and he is making good use of it. Real- izing that Capt. Taylor is out of the county, away from the scene of action, encourages lowry so much as to be up early and out late, pulling every string possible. This is Capt. Taylor's misfortune for being a soldier, Way is it that the Republicans are so anxious to defeat Philip Meyer ? When Wm. Allison did what was right in the legislature he was turned down, Mr. panics | time and money making a useless fight another he and beg.
