What it the Issue in Pennsylvania ?
' On all sides men are asking, 'What
U the i-sue ill Pennsylvania? what
are we to vote for in the pending can
vass T So far as ttin Republican party
13 concerned, these questions can be
rapidly answered. - For fifteen years
the Repuhlicau party has either ruled
on both Rides of the Legislature, or it
has had tnainritTnn joint bnllnt.wiih
tha exeentioii of the Leirislalnro of
this year; but including the fifteen
rears since 1860 the party has hail
this control with the management of
the executive business of the common
wealth, (n nil that time of trouble
during all that period ot embarrass
ment in business and peril to life and
property the Republican party never
failed to meet the popular expecta
tionnever full short of the emergen
cy, and was invariably successful in
maiutai'-'incr the public Credit, harvest
ing and faithfully applying the public
revenues, and so reducing taxation
over the State as to enable it to re
peal the tax on real estate, u condi
tion not attained in any Htato in the
Union. The first indebtedness which
it was necessary (o meet at the begin
ning of the war was succesfully Jiqui
dated, and the enormous demands
made upon the State for supplies, men
and money were so managed as actually
to be no burden on the taxpayers, ati.i
the liabilities J tins iocuurred wiped
out seal cely a man in the btate
knowing nt the time that such trans
actions were entered into uud dis
charged by the tax "hich ho was call
ed upon to pay. The rate of State
taxation even when it was levied by
the State, was less after 18G0, and un
til it was repealed, than it had been
previous to that date, us it was the
aim and policy of the Republican par
ty from the day it reached . power to
reduce the burdens of the people; and
had not the South hecu prompted to
rebel because tha Republican party
succeeded in national authority, there
is good reason to believe tli.t it would
have paid the debts of all the States
in which it ruled, aud by tliia time
have actually liquidated the national
indebtedness; but the war of the slave
holder, prompted by the disappoint
ments of the Democratic leaders, frus
trated this magnificent scheme and
loaded the nation with an indebted
lieu which will remain on its neck for
generations to come.
What is the issue iu Pennsylvania?
Simply that of maiutuiuing good gov
ernment. The Republican party
throws open its record. We need on
ly go back to 18G0, when the public
debt at the end of the war was $35,-(i-22.6o2.10.
In 1875 it was 24,568,
G38.37. These are plait figures, aud
they show that in the space of nine
Years there was a reduction of State
indebtedness to the enormous amount
ot Sll.0o4.014. In that period some
of the largest improvements were
made iu State properly, consisting of
additions to the Capitol, to iho Execu
tive Mansion, the Executive Depart
ment, the erection ot a vast aud new
Slate Arsmal. the purchase of addi
tioual public irround, &c, &c. To
this can be added, also, the erection of
several State luuatiu ssyU.uiB, normal
school houses, und the support of the
aoldiur' orphans' schools, with im
trovemenu and advances in the pub
ic school system, such as wero not
inuiio before from the tiiuo of the es
tablishment of thoeu schools, during
which they were in the hands of the
Democracy, up to 1860, when the Re
publican parly assumed their control.
It must not be forgotten that tho pay
ment of the Slale debt from I860 to
I860, during all tho period of the war
was in propoiiion to that made alter
the lutler period, and when the ex
pense of the war was I lie heaviest the
iiimiice were so ably maiiged as to
maintain this steady reductiou withuot
h single year's interruption Indeed,
(lie Sinking Fund, about which -so
ro'i'di trotiMo Im been of Im croated,
was never more ably managed than it
has been during Republican rule,
while the repeal of the State tax on
real estate was first suggested by a
Republican State Treasurer and car
ried into a law bv Uepubhciin Leg
islature and Governor. Is it reasona
ble to suppose that tho people will
vote such a party out of power and
reinstate a combination ot political
tricksters who were the originators of
the trouble which piled a large debt
ou tho nation, which has taxed labor
to iff utmost capacity, and produced
panics which bavo prostrated every in
dustry in the land? The administra
tion' of the State government for fi f
treu years has been of the fairest and
mos: "equitable on record, and of those
fifteen years the three which John F.
Hartranfl has conducted will compaie
in soundness or judgment, rectitude
and purpose, and impartiality of ac
tion with the hrightest and most suc
cessful of all his predecessors.
lint nre we to vote for in the
pending canvass? To maintain this
good goverment. To maintain iu all
its for eo, unimpaired in any ot its
functions, the good government which
tho Republican party has insured to
the Slate and Nation for the last fif
teen years. The secret of the loss of
confidence in trade and finance within
the lust two years is lodged in the
temporary success which the Demo'
cratic party secured iu several of tho
great Status of the north and west
The secret of the failure to stand
equal with other nations in the money
markets of Europe has been due, from
first to last, to the aspirations of the
Government mado by the lenders, of
tho Democratic party. Had it not
been for this our securities would have
sold at par iu Europe, bocause we have
a better security Er our national debt
than any nation in the world. And
to the same influence is duo the panic
in credit which has lately swept the
whole country, because keen business
men have come to the conclusion that
wh-never the prospect promised the
restoration of the Democratic party
to power we were on the eve of repu
diation; and to all this suspicion Is
due the panic iu business from which
the country is now suffering. What
we lack is confidence, and what has
impaired that is the fear on the part
of moneyed men and great industrial
enterprises that the Democratic party
will be restored to power 'is party of
rebellion and repudiation, these are
plain' statements, Bustaioed by the
facts of the past and the every-day ex
perience of the business men of the
present.
There is but one way to maintain
good government, bnt one course to
insure reduction of official debts and
relief from taxation. Tho party that
has made a record of all these must
be continued in powor. ' The faithful
competent and honest, who have ad
ministered the government, must be
continued in its control, if we desire
to continue Its blessings. To reinstate
the Democratic party would be suici
dal. To hand Pennsylvania over to
the Democratic party would be equal
to repudiation of the national debt, to
tarnishing the national honor, and to
disgracing the name of the Keystone
Stale. It would postpone a revival of
business for a decade. Distress and
universal bankruptcy would follow a
Dcmociatic victory. It would prompt
the withdrawal of at least $20,000,000
from important industrial pursuits iu
this Slate, and vagabondize three
fourths of the skilled mechanics of the
State. We leave this fearful crisis
with the people. J'hila. iVeM.
While the Democratio press in
tins State are straining to assume an
apYarently aggressive attitude, is it
not a little strange that they do not
repel the statements relative to Per
shing and PiolletT Or do they think
that silence will cause the iuflueiicer
of the evidence presented to speedily
die? If so they are greatly mistaken.
Tho conduct of Pers dug and Piollet
during tho war, so full of sympathy
with rank treason, ha9 no word of ex
cuse or palliation. The low uud gross
evil of turning under the influence of
gtHHl fees, or 5400 brines, is not inter
preted as a lofty and noble form of
consecration to the will of the people.
The hostility to the interests of the
farmers, and particularly of the well
being of laboring men, cannot be pal
liated. The strange part of the affair
is, that the Democratic prees do not
attempt to do this. They ignore the
entire question, and hope it may die a
natural dea'h. This should prompt
the people all the more to remember
ami punish treasou to the country and
themselves.
ITendrick B. Wright, Chairman
of the Democratic State Committee,
declares that tho character of Oover
nor Hartranft. for honestv. integrity
and putiioti.-in, "canuot he tueees-j ful
ly impeached. 1 he public character
ot Pershing lias been successtully im
peached, in this: that he opposed the
Government and favored the rebels
during the war ; that lie changed in
one night his attitude toward railroads,
under a lee ot ?-Ul), as a retainer as
solicitor for a railroad corporation
that he opposed bills iu the interest of
workiugmen; that he opposed the
coming of colored men to this State,
whether fur temporary cr permaneut
