Election, Tuesday October 11, 1870
•= A Correction."
We were utterly astonished to find on
perusing the Scranton Republican of the
29th inst. an article over the signature of
A. J. Gerritson, of Montrose, headed
"Correction," and directed "To the edit.
er of the Montrose Democrat," as we are
neither editing.the Scranton or Montrose
•Republican, and we cannot conceive the
application.
The article is a personal tirade upon J.
B. McCollum, showing the most bitter' ,
and selfish animosity, and although it is
directed to ms, yet the author has never
gives yrs the opportunity or authority to
pnblish' it, and we think that after wri
ting it be must have felt ashamed to pre
sent it to us and the Democracy of this
countyorho know the facts; but in his
trepidation of mind he went. down into
I...nzeine county and found a vessel just
fitt.d for such slops, and omitted to
change the heading.
bur columns have never been refused
to him at any time, neither have we had
as oppfltunity so to do. We certainly
idamld have been much better pleased to
hay . e ,received his contributions first cal,
instead of being obliged to seek them in
the itenicst of Radical papers. We want,
Correspondence, but we must confess
that our situation is such, finan
cially and morally, that we lose Many '
%reliant gems that we might otherwise.
obtain. We do not at present publish his
article for the reason that undoubtedly
most of our readers have read it, as we
understand that the paper which con
tains it has been mailed to everybody in
the'district, (0, Lazarus! Lazarus! " be
wALJ. of • t • PI, I AA
booding hopes arc entertained by the
author that they will draw the conclusion
that we refused it, and he was obliged to
pour himself through a Radical spout.—
We have the document on file for future
reference and publication. We do not
omit it on account of its damaging effect
upon our candidate, but merely because
.we are overpowered with a burning shame
for the writer who will allow personal an
imosity to overpower his political princi
ples and party honor, so as to make en
attempt at collusion with Radicals to de
feat the Democratic candidates, and we
say in all candor that we are loth to pre
sent him in such a light to the people of
this county, who have heretofore supposed
him to be a Democrat.
So far as the article refers to us person
ally, we care nothing. Webecame a Dem
ocrat not for the purpose of publishing
the Montrose DEMOCRAT, for we could
live Without doing that, but from a life
long belief in the pure principles of De
mocracy, notwithstanding we were rock
ed in a Whig cradle.
We have published the DEMOCRAT a
little more than one year, not for the pur
pose of fostering personal revenge, nor in
the interest of any clique or Ring, but to
the best of our ability to advocate pure
and - unalloyed Democracy, without fear
or favor, and there is nothing but what
seems to us an imperative duty in an
hour when circumstances and our princi
ples demand it, would now lead ns to al
lude to any personal quarreL It should
be known to our readers that there has
been a strictly personal difficulty between
Mr. Gerritson and J. B. McCollum for a
number of years, wholly of a personal and
pecuniary character, and which is now
before the courts for adjudication. Who
is in the right we know not, but we will
leave that matter for the courts to decide.
This we mention to account for a motive
in Mr. Gerritson tozet some revenge up
on the man whom he may think has
wronged him, and it may have led him
to take the, reckless course of an attempt,
with the assistance of -Radical pirates, to
scuttle the old Democratic ship and sink
all on board, himself with the rest, and
prove recreant to all former professiens
to gratify a little, malicious, private spite.
We or any other person can look upon
this matter in no other light.. If we are
wrong, we will stand 'corrected, after giv
ing reasons for our position.
The names of R. B. little, Wm. M.
Post, 3. B. McCollum, and A. J. Gerrit
son, were all talked of before the Conven
tion, for Congress. We then did and do
now believe it to be the privilege of any
citizen to honestly strive for any office in
the gift of the people, and' universally so
.
stated with whom we conversed.'This issue of "Record" was fully pre
sented An all printery meetings to send ,

Cansintion, which was very proper, and
right, se sup Min wl!om the party believ-
ed had faltered - . .7 the way, and could

The Convention ; met, commed of as
fiat a body and as intelligent Trion as ever
convened 'for thiy,,Banf.,pureill this
criunty, - and` open due 'deli latioft, - the
name of J. B. McCollum was‘the only

We called upon the people previous to
the assembling of the Convention to see
to it; and bring oat , their correct expres
sion, and that onr itnowledge'of their pu
rity wits a sufficient guaranty to us that
a true man would receive their prefer
ence, ADD HE WOULD , DE OVE OA DmATE.
Most assuredly had either of the others
received the noinination, he wOuld have
received onr utmost support. Is there a
'Democrat so revengeful in this county
who can belie his party, and desert his
principles to gratify personal spleen, and
in direct opposition to the voice of that
Convention ? Will the pure men of our
party be governed by that. party and
their blood-bought principles, or by the
personal venom of a single individual ?
Forgive us for insulting the true and
tried Democracy of old Susquehanna with
such a question. We believe that by their
action at the polls on Tuesday next they
will show that principles and Democracy
rule the people of this district.
Democrats, Bally ! Rally ! !
We make one more appeal, and the last
before election day, to the veteran band of
true and tried Democrats in Old Susque
hanna to rally !
You who have stood the most malignan t
persecittion for you noble principles are
again called upon to file in the ranks and
do battle against Radicalism and corrup
tion for your Government and liberties as
white men.
You rallied at your last convention in
might and signal power, and in calm de
liberation you signified your leaders with
most singular unanimity, and with one
voice asked them to bear your standard,
declaring to them that you would stand
by your principles as white men, yet you
would firmly demand your bold rights.
Eight years had you fought in this Con
gressional district amid local defeat and
the most venomous persecution, yet
faltering not. Twice have you waived
your local right for your country's good.
You demanded of your Congressional
Conference that they stand for your
rights and they did so, and they were
granted, and nobly is old Lnzerne
marching forward to the con te st. Victory
is written upon her banner.
Defeat can only come by our inaction.
Is there one who is willing to take that
all business and devote one day to prevent
an overthrow of your principles by cor
ruption and fraud ?
Will you allow any long, lean, lank and
venomous lizard or Radical hireling to
poison your minds, incite you to inaction
or waver from duty? We hear a voice
from the ballotbox on Tuesday next with
overwhelming power, saying NO. Once
more, Democrats, are you ready? Have
you:seen your neighbor and urged him to
go to work 1( 1 Have you done all you can
do? Understand, this election is a very
important one, and that a change of one
rote in every election district will make a
change of three thousand in the State.
Work on, then, till the day of,election,
and continue to work on that day. Get
out every man. Don't let any be neglixt
ed. We can wm a glorious victory if we
will. If we do not, the fault will be ours
alone. lit every Democrat think that
our success depends upon him. And it
does. Each Democrat is equally responsi
ble for our victory or defeat. Let us all
work, then, and success will be assured.
Further "'Record:o'
A. J. Gerritson denies the 'truth of
the information which we referred to in
our last issue that be had made a speech
at a pnblic meeting in the Court House
which was applauded. In looking over
the old files of his paper, we find that he
was very active in the war meetings, late
iu the fall of 1862 and acted as Secretary,
which does not accord with the scathing
denouncement of the war which he claims
to have made in 1861. He also went
among the "emergency men" in the time
of the Chambersburg Said and gain
ed much credit by it. We do not refer to
this for the purpose of canvassing his
war record, but only to show hia,neknow
!edged vacillating disposition. Still later
he held au office under a Republican Ad
ministration, that of Revenue Assessor.
This is not from hear say but from the
files of his own paper, which may par
tially account for his course at tiiB time.
Democrats, Organism.
Less than one week now remains in
which to do the work that will insure
victory. There is much work 'yet to do.
Appoint your election committees! Get
ready to man the Polls! Make porn ple te
and ample arrangements to get out every
voter! Let every democrat have his par
ticular duty assigned him. In brder to
make this arrangement, let the 'working
democrats of each election district meet
and appoint the "right Man in the right
place." This work should not be delayed.
See that there is'no cheating! Attend to
the doubtful and wavering I Finally,
clear the decks and drip for sail:Ml.!

MR. A. J. GEnarrsoN: •
Dear Sir :—Yorir note of the 30th ult.,
containing an article eliflped from the
Scranton Times directed to the editor of
the Montrose DEMOCRAT, over your signa
ture, accompanied by a ten dollar bank
note, was received last evening about half
past eight o'clock, which I consider too
late for my paper. Having seen the arti
cle in the Scranton Republican come days
previous, I had taken such editorial no
tice of it as the case demanded. which
was in type when your note was received.
That you should not, as you say, have had
time to see me before, when the commun
ication purports to have been written at
Montrose, and appeared in the Scranton
Rept:alienn the next morning after my pa
per was published, which contained the
editorial referred to, is an apology n little
too thin for my use at this time.

Respectfully Yours,

Who Pays the Taxes!
The Radicals tell us poor people pay no
taxes.
Let ne see.
The great manufacturers may think they
pay the taxes on manufacturca goods; but
do they ?
Whitever tax they pay they charge to
the wholesale purchaser, and receive it
back with interest.
The wholesale dealer adds to tax, w
The storekeeper puts his own tax and
all the accumulated taxes, the others halve
charge to him upon each and every piece
of the article when he sells it over the
counter to the ivorkinginan.
This is what makes things so dear.
The laborer buying goods in the store
has to pay not only the orignal value of
the thing but all the tax that has been
paid at each stage by the manufacturer,
wholesale dealer and storekeeper.
Each of these in turn recover from the
next man the amount of tax they have
paid.; but the last man, the laborer, the
consumer, the ultimate owner of the arti
cle who does not sell it to anybody else,
but keeps it, uses it, and wears itout, who
pays him the accumulated taxation which
all these richer men have, one after the
other piled upon the goods. to enable
them to meet the demands of the tax
gatherer?
The tax is shittel..from manufacturer to
the wholesale dealer, and from him to the
workingman.
But on whom shall the workingman
shift the taxes?
He must pay it all, and gets none of it
back from anybody else.
As long , as the goods are being sold and
transferred from hand to hand, so lung
the tax is shifting from one man's back
to another; but when the article ceases
to be turned over in trade and becomes
applied to the use it was designed then
the tax can be no further shifted.
The man who wears the shirt pays the
tax of the storekeeper who sold it, of the
wholesale dealer who supplied it to the
storekeeper, and of every man who has
handled it back to the cotton millionaire
in whose mills it was woven.
As Jefferson says—'•Taxation is like a
ball rolling, down stairs; it bumps on each
step, but finally rests on the lowest."
It is the working masses who pay the
taxes; it is they who have the deepest in
terest in the honest and economical ad
ministration of the Federal Government.
It is their money that pays the extrav
agance of Radicalism at Wasbiligton.
The men in this country who work
with their hands for daily bread are the
ones who pay the four hundred millions
dollars a year which the Radicals contrive
to dissipate in carrying on the govern
ment.—E..
What have we Gained
We frequently comes across this quest
ion in Radical papers, "shall all that we
have gained by the war be lost ?" Now
what has been gained that the people did
not possess before the war?'
. Slavery for the negro has been blotted
ont, but double the number of white
slaves has been added. That is a gain in
the number of white slaves.
We had but few soldiers, widows and
orphans then, we have thousands now.
We bad no military despotisms, then,
we have now.
We had bids few millions of national
debt then, we have billions now.
We had light taxes then, we are weigh
ed down by there now.
We bad no bondholders then, we have
now.
We had gold for all then, we have only
enough for the bondholders now.
The negroes of the South earned their
own living then, the laboring men of the
North provide for them now.
We had sio Jay Cooks to make millions
ont of the government then, we have now.
We paid seventy-five millions of dollars
yearly to carry on the Government then,
it costs over five hundred millions of dol
Tare now _
Are the-people - content- with these re
sults ; they wish them contin IRA?
Do thoy *ant, nO'chnne If not, they
should cotitinite the Racal party in poW
er, for-it-promises no eliange.—Er.
WHOPPEnst
Judging by the address published by
Wel Radical ftitate - Peri teiul l- COmMittee,
they have adopted thepOlicy of brazening
1 41. out with sheer, blood, impudent denials
of the yery acts which they hare notor
riouslY committed. We do not suppose
that'ibey here to derive any intelligent
than who Imbive anything of public af
fairs. Any man Who reads the newspa
pers will . pals judgement on the following
impudent falsehoods to which we find ap
propriately 'signed . the name of "John
eirrode, bairmaii." He says of his
party'
"It C h as Abolished all the special taxes
that were'isto .irrating and anhoying, and
now the nerchant and manufactnyer, the
lawyer, the farmer, and men in most
other ocenpation, can pursue their avoca
tions wit*t receiving visits from the
tazitat her kr."
Did human impudence ever soar higher
than that, in the face of the notorious
fact that foe party has. against general
remonstrance thonghout the land, re-en
acted the irritating, annoying, unneces
sary income tax which keeps it officials
fumbling and peering, among the private
affairs of every citizen.
W e will now give specimen number
two. from this veracious document. It
says:
'Holding it as a cardinal of Republican
faith that a Twerament should prefer the
welfare of its own people to that of other
nations, the Repuldwan party, both in its
State and _National legislation, has kept
that end constantly in view, and labored
faithfully to promote it."
Now we will not rehearse the record of
the Radical party as a negro part•, that
is too well known. As a brief and handy
contradiction of this second "whopper
we will make the following quotation from
the Radical organ in this city, the Press:

That fur eight long years

Democracy of Susquehanna coun ty have
nobly come to asn.istance of these two
distinguished sons of • Luzerne. in Con

and the able and gifted Woodward.
Year by year in their own local contests
they 811(1;1. defeat, but always conic up to
the next battle with renewed courage.
They have constituted the left wing of
the Democrat army in this dirtrict. They
Mire never faltered, they have set aside
time and again their own just claims and
rights, and have generously, preferred
ours. They ask but two years out of the
apportioned ten. They have. presented
with singular unanimity an unexception

He is honest and capable, and his De
mocracy is endorsed fully and cordially
by those of our party who have seen him
well and often tried.
Friends of Denison and Woodward—
Democrats of Luzeme ! shall we be less
resolute in the support of Susquehanna's
candidate than they hate ever been for
the choice of Luzenie? If not, then let us
be up and doing. See that every voter is

'Woman's Sufrrnge Convention;
BoKroX, Sept. Vl—Th; - .. Woman's' Sur- I
(rage Convention held three' 'sessiOns in
Tremont Temple to-day. Twelve
httutl
red people were present, mostly'women.—
Julia Ward Howe presidvd and made, a
number of long speeches, as also Lucy ,
Stone Blackwell - , Mrs. Dr. Jackson, Be; : .
Mr. Bowles and numerous others.
An effort was made to get np a now po
litical party, with Wendell Phillip; for
novernor. Tue most spicy discussiOn, of
the day was npon the cxpeaiencv of doing
so. In this action. Stephen roster was
most clamorous for Phillips nomination,
and in the arguments pro and con the lie
was given by the opposing sides in trite ,
congressional style.
The resolutions, which were discussed
and adopted, give something of an idea ,
of the sentiments of the meeting. al
though their adoption Was by no means
unanimous. They are as fdlows;
WHEREAs, The establiAmeut of pont
ieal justice upon the basis of equal rights
for all men and women is more impor
tent than any considerations of party ex
pediency.
.4 nil telg.er , .•as The great platform of
prohibition and labor - reform parties are
both silent uu the question of woman suf
frage.
And whereas,Conventiuns of the re
publican and deinocratic , parties arc
about to meet for a declaration of princi
ples and to nominate caudidutes; there-
Cire.
Roterol, That the friends of woman
suffrage should no longer support any
candidate for State or local Alec who is
not in favor of the en franch isenwu t of
women, and in case nu such candidate j,es
put in nomination that they, should nom :
inate and supprt independent candidates
of their own.
nrvolerd, That a proper committee be':,
appointed to prepare and forward a. me
morial in I whal fof this con yen tion to the
conventions a ikpubiican and Democrat
ic parties, with copi..s of there resolutions '
attached, respectfully requesting of each I
the adoption of woman saffrage as part of
their platforms, and also that said com
mittee be instructed to question every
candidate upon the State ticket of every
party in the field as to whether he will
work for the establishment of woman su f
frage and to publish his reply in the Wo
man's Journal, and also that this com
mittee shall meet again in Boston on the
YithAfelet r o f etherfliibliciin l 'and tletno
cral ie con MD titPll3, to make nominations
for the State ticket tt . neves,zary.
Resolved, That all men and tvi.nien
who are in favor of VVOLUaII suffrage are
requested to meet. in tlitir respective re
presentatv,e uud senatorial districts and
take such steps as will insure the election
ul rupre..sentiitives pledged to work and
‘ote Ivr %VWBall SUlrrage 111 the next legis
lature.
Revolved, That the thanks of this con
vention are due to the Hon. Henry Wil-
Solt, United. States Senator, for •having
ultrodumil the 101 l into the United States
Congress for the extension of suffrage to
WOilian in the District of Columbia and'
in the Tentories, and that coo respectfully
request him to renew the proposition in
Congress next winter.
Re4uleed, That the friends •of woman
suffrage recognize in Wendell Nhilhp3 •a
leader second to none in his early, able
and constant advocacy of impartial suf
frage ; that he has earned our gratitude
and has a right to claim our votes when
ever Lucy can be given under the forms of
low without complicating the cause of
woman nutfrage with issues merely politi
cal.
And whereas, The Hon. Charles Stun
ner, United States Senator, has declared
that a distinction in suffrage is founded
upon an unsurmountable qualification
and a violation of repnblican principles:
And whereas, Sex is a codification' as
insurmountable as color; therefore.
Resolved, That consistency with his
own principles demands from Hon.
Charles Sumner, next winter, the sub:
mission of the sixteenth amendment to
the federal constitution, prohibiting po
litical distinction on account of sex.
After the adoption of these resolutions
an attempt, was made to nominate Wen
dell Phillips, but it was voted down by
three to one. The disenssion incident to
the effort Were very spicy, and among
those whom it brought out was William
Robinson, clerk of the House of Repre
sentatives, who defended Governor elailin
and the republican party, and lashed the
woman's suffrage agitators most un
mercifully. The convention was prelim
inary to the inauguration of an independ
ent woman's political party.
When Democrats are fools enough
to quarrel all the while then Joe Scran
ton is as happy as a clam, but when he
sees them lying down like lambs together
it actually sets Joe into spasms. 'Joseph,
we are not going to quarrel this fall to
please you or anybody else.—Siranton
Democrat.
Vff — Thousamis of Promising Youths,
of both sexes, go down to untimely graves,
from general debility and weakness, who
might be saved by fortifying their systems
with Iron. The Peruvian Syrup is an. Ir.
on Tonic prepared expressly to supply
this vitalizing element, and is the only
preparation of Iron that will assimilate at
once with the blood.
`Gold.—There was no reguler New
York quotations fur gold on Friday, bus
iness having been suspended as a murk of
respect to the memory of Admiral Farm
gut, but sales of 820,000 were reported at
the Board at 113i-all4, and these may be
accepted as the ruling figures, closing at
