If Columbus bad" tried be could not
have discovered us during a grander
month than October.
Cleveland has subscribed $10,000 to
the Democratic campaign corruption fund
to be used for the election of himself.
Coixmbi-s found "free trade" on these
shores in H:2. Cleveland would like to
keep it up to the Bin? standard in 1S!'2.
When Grover Cleveland wants votes
he is great, friend of Union soldiers.
His vetoes while President showed bet
ter his real sentiment.
I'itoTTiox means high wages and
home comforts and luxuries for w orking
men, while Free Trade means ill-paid la
ta ir, poverty and dera lation.
It is perfectly sfe to nay (ieneral Har
rison will get nine-tenths of all the votes
of veteran of the old Union army, as
well as nine-tenths of the votes of sons of
old soldiers.
Soi'TitERS lemoeraU can find nothing
too mean to say of "the Third party mis
creants." ut up in Minnesota and out
in KarJsas they are trying to crawl into
the same bed and drink out of the same
bottle.
The Democrats of Tennessee are cack
ling loud over a great feat. They allow
ed Candidate Weaver "to make a two
hour's speech" and di not rotten egg
him once. Well done, Tennessee! It is
a great object leseon for Georgia.
All that the Republicans of Somerset
county have to do, to maintain their old
time reputation, is to g-t out the vote.
There is no reason why every Republic
an voter ic the county should not be at
the polls. A systematic effort should be
ma ie by the Committeeman in each dis
trict to get out the full vote. Now is a
good time for every stalwart Republican
to find oat whether his neighbor is going
to the election, and urge upon him to do
so. A lull vote means victory.
Close up the lines brethren ! The Na
tional isaue is between Protec:on and
Free Trade. The State and Congression
al issue involves three votes for or against
Free trade, honest money and fair elec
tions. The Legislative issue concerns t wo
Totes for a United States Senator, w ho
will sustain cr oppose Republican princi
ples, w bile support of the local ticket
means a continuance of sound home rule.
Here is every inducement for Republic
ans to see to it that the party vote is
brought out and fully polled. Close cp
the lines everywhere 1
Gr.ovaa Cleveland say s the Democrat
ic party "wages no war against American
interest?," while at the same time it is do
ing its dirty best to belittle, decoy and
prevent the manufacture of tin in this
country, and Senator Vest, of Miseouri,
one of his most ardent ad vocat s, announ
ces that the Ieu!Ocracv has "declared a
war of extermination ujon the protected
industries." Cleveland and Vent should
have compared r.-tes before rushing into
print. It is the same old swindling game
of the professional thimble rigvrer. No
one cin tell under w hich thimble the lit
tle joker is.
Thk wisdom of Democratic financier
ing most be found among the archives
prior to lSfll. Old people hare a very dis
tiact recollection of the money of those
dya. Every man wi.o was going a hundred-mile
jurney, or to a distant State,
had to change his paper money or carry
silver and gold. So poor was Uncle Sam's
credit that in lSviii a Iemccrat;c Secreta
ry of tbe.Treasury asked Congress to al-
low.the States to indorse our Nati onal
bonds so they could be rendered market
able. Just imagine such a thing as that
sow. i nen ne naa io pay S and 10 per
cent, and could not get money at that.
Mr. Ei.Aisics brief bat pointed speech,
made at the home of Mr. Whitelaw Eeid,
on tnday.evenin? Ust, will carry glad
tidings to every Republican voter in the
country. It is not only evidence of his
returning health, and.of his unimpaired
intellectual powers, but it shows how ot
tetty unbonded have been the Demo
cr ic reports regarding his attitude in
the campaign. Loyal as ever to the Re
publican party, his short speech is a bo
gle mil to the country to re-elect the
President who has been so steadfast to
duty and who has given as an adminis
tration of which every American can well
ftei proud.
Ot a fiiends, the enemy, are circulating
among the fanners a document which
undertakes to tell them how calamitous
is their situation, when they hitch tax
ed horse to a taxed wig in, by means of
axed harness, and drive it to town, w here
they buy such and such, taxed so and so.
They omit to say, however, that the wag
on now costs $y instead if f 12-", ms it did
a few years ago; that the lumber it
brings back from town costs (12 where
then it cost $30; that it is put together
with nai's costing (2 75 a keg instead of
$7; that it is painted with paint costing
f 7 per 100 pounds instead of $11, and
mixed w ith linseed oil costing 45 cents a
gallon where then it cost f 1. These pha
ses of Republican taxation da not get in
to Djiaxralio documents.
Tn United States Supreme Court, in
an opinion handed down by Chief Just
ice Fuller, Monday, affirmed the judg
ment of the Michigan Snpreme court, up
ho'.ding the constitutionality of the law
providing fir the election of Presiden
tial electors by Congressional distric ts in
stead of by the State as a whole.
Vote for a sife currency, and against
wild-cat money. No legislation so near
ly touches the private citizen, and par
ticularly the laboring man, as that which
deals with the country's monetary sys
tem. The volume and quality of our cur
rency controls and fixes the price ofev
ry particle of food, every foot of land, ev
ery yard of cloth, every day's labor in
the country. A fluctuating currency,
subject to discount, and the change of
value in each community or State, is a
curse, particularly to the men who de
pend for what they eat to-morrow npon
w hat they earn to-day. No country in
the world has a safer and sounder cur
rency than we have enjoyed since the
Republicans have been in power, and we
have never heretofore had so long and
unbroken a period of prosperity. The
Republican party has always been the
friend of sound and safe money. Not so
with tb Democrats. They have contin
uously opposed every monetary reform
that has been enacted for the past thirty
years, and to-day they recommend in
their platform the abolition of the tax on
State bank issues, w hich in effect would
return us to the currency we had before
the war, when no man knew if the bank
note he had in his pocket to-day would
be worth the paper it was printed on to
morrow. If there was no other issue in
volved in this campaign, this question of
safe and sound money ought to be induce
ment enough forevery prudent, thinking
man, to vot the Republican ticket.
Tux pious soul of Hon. Wayne Mac
Veigh is sorely vexed because of the use
of money in politics, and in his speech,
made in Philadelphia on Friday evening
last, he assigns this as one of his reasons
for casting in his fortunes with the im
maculate Democracy. Hear him :
" But I have watched with pain and
alarm the steady growth of the corrupt
use of money in our politics, and I have
been constantly hoping that the Repub
lican party would at leait turn its face
towards lower duties npon imports and
against other forms of Congressional
bounties in accordance with the teach
ings of so many of its greatest and wisest
leaders, and thus diminish the tempta
tions to that awful traihe, hateful alike to
(Jod and all good men, the buying and
selling r-f votes."
The Free Trader is never at a loss for
an allegation, more or less specious, to
extenuate his hostility to the protection
of American industries, and Mr. Mac
Veigh seizes upon the pretext that the
Republican party corruptly uses money
contributed by the manufacturers of this
country for political purposes, as tn ex
ense for going over to the Free Trade
Democracy. That this is sheer hypocri
sy and charlatanism, is endorsed by the
fact that of the leaders of the pure Dem
ocracy, llarrity, who holds the office of
Secretary of State for this Commonwealth,
has deserted his official duties, is run
ning the Democratic campaign, and is
lustily begging for money for election
purposes. Cleveland has given his
check for $10,000. Mayor Grace's fjl
lowers in New York city have pledged
?."0,0o0. Attorney General Hensel, of
this State, has promised $2"0,('00 ; the
wicked New "iork World has raised
f,( KX; Tammany has levied $2,000,000
on the dives, brothels and gambling hous
es of the city, and the Pittsburgh W
and other lesser Democratic oreans
throughout the country, are passing the
hat for contributions for the same cor
rupt purpose, while Whitney, Brice and
other millionaires have tkeir hands deep
down in their pockets. There never was
a time in which the Democratic party
had more money at its command, or
more brazenly proclaimed thepurpoee of
using it to procure rotes ; and it is under
this state of affairs, and the authority of
this boodle campaign that Mr. MacVeigh
declares that in search of pure political
methods he is forced to ally himself
with that organization. Faugh ! such a
declaration smells rank to Heaven!
Democracy Means Free Trade.
From the New York Sun.
One duty of vrovernment is to protect the
labor of its citizens.

Nearly seven hundred million dollars'
worth of the starvation labor of Euro in
the form of manufactured goods imported
into ihU country.
That which came from Belgium in bales
and boxes represented the wares of 22 cents
a day for women and 4-i cents for men ; and
the highest pricei labor in loose cargoes of
Ee'g:an steel and iron represented wages Uis
than 80 cents a clay. Compared with these
the wi(s of Carnegie's men at Bra. I Jock are
the income of princes.
Italian labor in Italian merchandise vn
imported into this country ... in com
petition with American labor, at prices that
should fill sensitive souls with horror, and
alarm tbe thoughtful for the future of the
human race. The pay in the cotton factories
of Naples is :J cents a day ; of the Neapoli
tan marble and granite cutters, from 45 to
50 cents a day, according to skill ; of cjach
ruen, St cents ; of women in lace factories,
10 cents, and girla, 7 cents ; of soldiers in the
army, $2, a month. Of all the workmen in
glassworks of lta!y, only the skilled blowers
receive as high as a dollar a day. and labor-
era on faron, boeinn or making hay, from
13 to IS cent a day, working from sua to

In tbe Swist silk go x.'s . . . was the
skilled labor of torn at 41 cents a day. and of
women at 20 cents, bo:b competing with the
tiik weavers of Paterson, New York, Philadel
phia and Cheney. Glasgow, in SootLicd, is

father, mother, daughters and sons teiis
what waira are in Soot land, and bow they
drag humanity down into bestiality arid
misery.
Brothers : the Mills bill to reduce the tariff
is the first step to that one room far an
American family : Fight it without delay
and fiht it to its death ; and then make
your tariff so protective as to shut out cheap
foreign labor in the form of manufactured
gocda.
V hat Free Coinage Means.
From Tbe Kew-York Recorder.
As now csed in our Xatiirfial politics
free coinage means these several things, via. "
1. That every man shall have a right t j
bring his silver to ibe alint, not to sell to
tbe Government, as is the present practice,
but to have it coined for himself.
i. That the Government shall coin this
private silver free of charge.
S. The the Government shall coin a dol
lar containing 37t 1 4 grains, or tbereabonta,
of pur silver, instead of 412 grains, aa in
the standard silver dollar.
4 That the Government shall declare tbe
debased dollar, worth otly C7 cents, or
thereabouts, to be worth 10 cents, and
thai! make this C7 cents dollar a legal tender
at its fare valoe, Ibrall debts aud obligations
a the United States.
To ttau this scheme is to tipoe the fraud
on the very face cf it.
Blaine on the Issues.
The Man from Maine Makes a Stirring
Addreis.
The Administration of President Har
rison Most Hertlly Com
mended. Wnm FLarss, October 14. James G.
Blaine has speken. A big crowd from the
villages of West Cheater county went to
Ophir farm to-night and heard the man
from Maine. Politicians had tried to obtain
the same result but failed. Tbe ex secreta
ry however yielded to popular enthusiasm
and spoke. The demonstration was sponta
neous and arranged on short notice. The
idea was started this morning and by night
fall the news that such an aflair would take
place had been spread over the southern part
of the county. The Republicans gathered
in all their strength and want to Mr. Reid's
home. Delegates were present from Port
Chester, Eye, White Plains aud other placea.
After a few words of introduction Mr. Reid
presented Mr. Blaine. As the popular son
of Maine steied forward he was greeted
with rounds of cheers. When sufficient si
lence could be restored to permit bim to be
beard Mr. Blaine spoke as follows :
Fellow citUens of New York I should be
churlish, indeed, if I did not make response
to your call after you have come several
miles to this beautiful home of Mr. Reid on
this pleasant October evening. At the same
time lam not making siieecbea in this can
vass for reasons which are well known to
my friends and which have no connection
whatever with politics. Generally adminis
trations in presidential elections are chal
lenged on account of the condition of busi
ness of the country and submit that the re
publican administration of President Har
rison can triumphantly endure such a teat.
A pplaute
I doubt if since .the government of the
United States was instituted anybody, at
any lime, has seen what we call good times
so generally, taking it in so many interests
and spreading proefierity throughout tbe
whole domain of trade. I might apial to
New York, if the city has eer passed a
season more satisfactory in financial results
than for tbe past two years, tn which tbe
general effect on capital and labor has been
more prosperous. Applause
The opponents or" the Republican party
always represent New York as a commerc al
city, and not a manufacturing one, and yet
the product of the manufacturers of the city
alone is I700,000,t0. Anything that would
cripple that great interest would cripple the
metropolis fearfully and to a very hurtful ex
tent. More men in New York get their
living from pursuits protected by the tariff
than from any other source. I know that
New Y'ork is the centre of our commerce,
the great entrepot of onr trade; but all tbe
men engaged in commercial pursuits in and
about New Y'ork are smaller in number
than the men engaged in manufacture, for if
you go west where the democrats declare they
are making considerable effort and doing a
vast amount of boasting will you find it
different. Take Ohio, take Michigan, take
Indiana, take Illinois, and the products of
manufactures are . greater in pecunairy
amounts than the products of these four
great agricultural states; so that I think
when it happens to democratic orators who
arc on the wing trying to arouse the hostili
ty of these states against the protective tariff
they will .encounter a sentiment of which
they have not dreamed. We learn from tbe
democratic party that these western states
are in a desperate condition. The amount of
their farm mortgages rolls up into the mil
lions. You would suppose it fabulous that
the amount 6T money they embrace could
ever have been so invested.
This is not so among tbe farmers in New
Y'ork ; it is not so among the farmers in
New Jersey ; it is not so among the farmers
of Connecticut ; it is not so among the farm
ers of Pennsylvania ; it is not so among tbe
farmers of New York state, nearby whose
condition can be easily learned by a singu
lar fatality, it is the western states that have
got all these farm mortgages burdening
them and taking the life out of the people.
I don't like to say that gentlemen have vol
untarily misrepresented the facts, but before
accepting them as such you will do well as
wisely, to demand the proof.
The tariff, the democratic paper says, is
tbe origin of a plutocratic govern ment when
wealth shall rule and oor men will not get
their rights. I shall venture to challenge al'
statements of that kind, and I shall make
the democratic accusers the judges in the
cae. A careful examination of the list of
wealthy men in the country has been pub
lished a id has demonstrated the fact to be
quite the reverse; to such an extent, indeed,
that in the city of New Y'ork, taking tbe
first IjO great fortunes not three, not two,
not more than one would be considered as
derived from manufacturing investments.
I have a word to say about the Irish vote.
I see it is stated that the democrats boast of
having the mass of them in their ranks this
year. It is one of the mysteries of our politics
that a question which interests England so
supremely which is canvassd almost as
much in London, as it is New Y'ork should
have the Irish vote on the side of Great
Britain. If the Irish vote were solidly for
protection they could defy the machinations
of the democratic party for free trade and
throw their influence on tbe side of the home
market of America against the tide of the
forergn markets of England. I know this
appeal has frequently been made to the Irish
voters, but I make it with emphasis now,
for I am unwiiiing to believe that with the
light of knowledge before tbcoi tbey will not
deliberately be on the side of their former
oppressor, I thick.
I shall rely on my good friend Egar, tbe
brilliant and successful minister to Chili,
whom I feel especially glad to meet at Mr.
Keid's table this evening. I think I must
rely on him to intercede with his country
men, his countrymen in two senses, not to
aid the democratic party in lowering the
standard and the wags of American labor
by their potential voles and their potential
numbers. Continued applause.
IngalTa Estimate of Mr. Harrison.
Speech at Topeka, Kan.
I have never been an idolalor of President
Harrison. I am under no personal obliga
tions or official obligations to him. In that
great struggle I waged against tbe combined
hosts of iniquity and disloyalty in this State
I had never even the assurance of j-ersonal
mpathy from the Administration. Bnt I
athrtn tbat the wisdom of his administra
tion of the a flairs of the nation at home and
abroaJ, is without parallel or peer in the
whole history of American citizenship. Ap
plause He is the on'y man who has sat
in the Presidential chair for the hist half
century that could take every department
himself and run it without assistance. Ap
plause. He is an eminent lawyer, and he
was a gallant and heroic soldier. He has
been an efficient and a trained legislator.
It is not ofb n ttat a man grows after he is
V) years old. President Harrison is distinct
ly greater in intellectual stature and in men
tal vigor since he has passed from the Sen
ate than be was brf ire ; and he stands to
day immeasurably higher in the estimation
of the American pecrple than he d d when
he was fi s sworn into offios. Dearly four
years ao. applause. I atnrm that for
versatility, for lofty patriotism, for beauty
and grace of diction, force and rigor, his
speeches have never been excelled, and I be
lieve be has no superior in the compass of
political oratory, neither ancient or modern.
He is a courageous man. He is not afraid
to do right. H is a patriotic man. He be
lieves in the American people, and he spells
the word "cation" with the biggest letter If
there is in tbe alphabet.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Prisoners In Revolt.
After tbe return a few weeks since of the
incorrigible inmates of the Huntingdon re
formatory to their respective counties, it was
thought that he spirit of insubordination
among the prisoners bad been pretty well
weeded out. Wednesday night, however, it
cropped out again. Officer I). W. Boyer was
marching a tquad'of sixty inmates to the
school room, James Caul, an inmate from
Philadelphia, jumped from the ranks and
hurled his alate violently at the guard's
head, but without hitting him.
Alonzo Billings, also from Philadelphia,
acting on Caul's signal, also struck at the
guard with bis slate, but missed bis aim.
That was the signal for general revolt
among the inmate pupila, and balf the loO
prisoners in the school room engaged in a
deadly attack on the defenseless otliccr.
Caul, who bad precipitated the assault,
drew a brick from his coat and dealt Guard
Boyer a violeut blow over the eye, knock
ing bim down. After receiving a fusilade
of kicks and blows. Officer Boyer drew his
cane, but this was speedily taken from him
and turned on himself.
In endeavoring to rescue his prostrate fel
low officer. Guard James Kyle was also se
verely handled. A general alarm was sound
ed and the riotous inmates were finally tub
clued by force. Officer Boyer was removed
to his home, where he is now confined.
Caul and Bdlings, who bad threatened be
fore to kill tbe guard, are now in dungeons.
The affair was due to Guard Boyer s having
reported Caul and Billings for insubordina
tion. Two Sisters Killed by a Train.
Two sisters met a terrible death at the
Conemaugh Furnace crossing, nine miles
west of Johnstown at 8 o'clock Saturday
morning. At tbat hour Mrs. Sarah Rasler,
whose home is near Baker's furnace ; her
daughters Sarah and Ida,' age nineteen and
eight years respectively, and her grown-np
son, Daniel, toge'ber with a number of
other people, were waiting on the platform
at the Conemaugh Furnace station for the
Harrisburg accommodation, all being bound
for Johnstown. As their train arrived they
all made a rush for it. Then western ex
press, an hour and a balf late dashed by on
the track between the platform and the
other train, striking Sarah Re&sler and her
little sister and mangling them horribly
One of Sarah's legs was torn off and she was
otherwise terribly cut and bruised and Ida's
skull was crashed and the brains 'were ooz
ing from horrible wonnds in either temple.
The express train overcame its terrific speed
and stopid within a distance of perhips
twice its own length and backed up to the
scene of the double tJagedy, and after the
conductor had taken note of the occurrence,
it proceeded on its way. The bodies were
prepared for burial and removed to the
stricken home.
As Bad as It was Painted.
Chicago, Oct, 10. Mrs. Mary E. Lease,
the Kansas orator and Third party organizer,
gives her experience during her late trip
through the south to a local pa;er. She
thinks General Wearer did as well as any
one could under the circumstances, but she
asserts tbat she does not like Weaver try to
belittle the course of the Southerners. She
says tbe outrages were not committed by
young men and boys, but in many instances
prominent men were tbe leaders in the
disturbances in some cases organized party
clubs ; that instead of one egg being thrown
at them there were a great many eggs
thrown, and not by boys, either.
She declares the indignities offered Gen
eral Weaver and party were not because of
anything he said or bad ever done, but be
cause he was advocating tbe cause of a party
tbat was threatening the local success of the
Democratic party. She was greatly disap'
pointed, because she bad hoped in this new
party to allay what little sectional feeling
there was left, but she finds it as "violeut as
ever Republicans bad depicted it.'
Frightful Western Storm.
.Chlti.nse, Wto , Oct, 14. For nearly two
days tbe severest storm ever known no the
I'nion Pad lie railroad has been raging here
and aa far west as Ogden, Utah. In all
directions telegraphic communication was
cut off. All railroads have blocked, tbe
cuts being filled up with snow, which in
some places was piled np 18 feet.
The Cheyenne Northern is entirely block

one knows where the belated trains are.
Two oars have elapsed since ttie road was
snowed in.
Be porta are being received of immense
loss of cattle and horses in Northern Colora

worth of these animals are known to bave
perished, and it is estimated that almost
third of the cattle and horses on tbe ranges
have been destroyed by the storm.

Qualifications of Voters.
It should be remembered tbat the new
election law does not make any change in
tbe qualifications of voters.
These are fixed by the Constitution of
Pennsylvania, and they are just tbe same
now as they bave been for the last eighteen
year.
Tlie Baker ballot law merely changes the
method of voting. It does not presc ribe a
single new qualification of voters, and it
does not prevent any legal voter from cast
ing his ballot.
All matters as to residence in Ibe district
in which rerson offers to vote, tbe pay
ment of tax, etc, remain as formerly. The
new law merely alters the details that ac
company the preparation, marking and de
posit of the ballot.
This fact should not be overlooked by cit
izens who bave a legal right to vote in No
vember.

Tbe water supply in tbe Pittsburg divis
ion of the Baltimore A Ohio railroad is now
a source of serious trouble to tbe company
In the Y'oughiogheny river at this time
the channel is almost dry. Tbe water in it
is not more than is found in a small moun
tain stream. The many mines along its
banks impregnate tbe water with sulphur.
and where the water stands in pools it be
comes thoroughly mixed witb it
The bed of the river is solid limestone,
and the sunning of so small a stream over
limestone rocks charges it heavily with lime,
and out of these pools of lime and sulphur
water the locomotives are supplied. The
presence of these materials causes the Sues
in the boilers to wear through, causing the
employes a great deal of trouble. At the
end of every trip tbe boilers have to be care
fully gone over and plugged up, and some
times they have to bs repaired at points
along the road. The trouble is epecially
noticed in tbe freight trains, as they are
often delayed for hours at a time until the
engines can be put in order.
If tbe drought continues the company will
be compelled to find some other source for a
water supply.
All Signs Fail in Dry Weather.
The continued fair, pleasant and in de
grees warm weather is the delight of every
body in this region, except those who must
endure its dust, its smoke from leaf burning
ar.d the other unavoidable drawbacks ot
such dry conditions. There have been indi
cations of rain during tbe pest fjrty-eight
hours, all of which, like signs usual in dry
weather, were failures. The draught is one
of the severest aud most prolonged had in
this section at this season in years.
No Politics Wanted.
In the course of a temperance address at
Pittsburgh, Snnday night, Francis Murphy,
the famous temperance apostle, said:
"Stand by Dr. Keeley. I'll stand.by him
and by any other man who aaves auother
except by violence or by police force. This
whisky question ran be settle without politi
cal interference. No man can be made sober
by law. Y'ou may put him to jail but as
soon as be gets out he will break for tbe
saloon again."
Two Horse Thieves.
Chcyehkk, Wyoming, Oct. 17. News has
just been received of the killing by unknown
persons of J. r. Bedford and "Dab" Burcb,
