CARPEN-
" The Republican party elands for
honcsi money, and the chance to earn it
by honest toil." William McKinley.
More thatwice ai many stainl
ard silver dollars have beeu 'coined
since January 1st of this year of
grace, 1896,- than were coined in all
the history of the Republic up to
to 1873.
The . Republican and National
Democratic committees have perfect
ed a pole of the State of Illinois, and
the result reached by each agrees,
giving McKinley over 100,000 plu
rality, and this is one of the states
claimed ny the Popocrats.
Jones is now engaged in villifying
the wicked wheat market. "Why
the durned thing could not have
waited until we got through fooling
the American farmer," says Jones,
"is what I can't understand. Then
there's cotton has gone up $10 a bale.
Everything's agin us!"
Mr.. Bryan says he "doesn't wish
to confuse the public mind by the
discussion of protection." It would
be more correct to say that he does
not wish to bring confusion on him
self by recalling the results of the
policy which he helped to establish
by confusing the public mind four
years agp.
--MtJNiciPAL elections took place in
the State of Connecticut Mouday
last, and the returns are of the same
termor ns those of Vermont and
Maine, not a town in the State hav
, ing" gone entirely Democratic, and
ouly two towns gained in Democratic
oflicials. Free and unlimited silver
coinage has few friends even in the
- Nutmeg State.
William B. Given, chairman of
the .TefTorsoniau Democrats of Perju
sylvania is making an active canvass
on behalf of sound money, aud in a
recent interview at Pittsburg he pre
dicted Palmer and Buckner will re
ceive 50,000 votes, 10,000 in Phila
delphia alone. The committee have
already an enrollment of 25,000
Democrats pledged to vote against
the Chicago nominees.
Two of Major McKiuley's com
petitors, General John M. Palmer,
National Democratic candidate for
President, aud Joshua Levering, Pro.
bibitiou candidate for President, con
cededed the election of the Republi
can candidate during the past week
Both gentlemen have traveled ex
tensively since their nomination, aud
have bad elegant opportunities to
lcara the trend of popular senti
m out.
The time for registration aud tax
paying having expired it is now the
duty of all good Republicans, aud all
who believe the piinciples of that
party are the best for the nation, to
buckle to the work of solidifying the
raoks and bringing out the vole.
hat this country needs, above all
other things, is a good sound protec
tive tariff. Many were honestly de
ceivod on this point four years ago,
and all will agree that we must have
protection in order to start the wheels
ot industry once more. Liet us put
our shoulders to the wheel and help
to bring tlutt happy era about once
more.
Uknekauj Aiuei:, Sickles, How
ard, Stewart and Corporal Tauuer
who have been campaigning in the
middle Western Slates, for their
comrade, Major Mt-Kiulvy nix
ruu on iHouey, nave met with a re
niarkable reception wherever they
appeared, the peoplo turning out to
Erect and hear these war veterans by
icne Di iiiim-aiiiiH, ami tho respouno
given to their powerful tippcal for
support for the caudidate of the old
soldiers has never been eijuuleJ
any other campaign. The word that
these buttle, 6cared heroes send back
is that the country is safe, and that
all the coiiteeU'd Mates will rally
agaiu around the old flag oil the 3id
of November.
SENATOR QUAY'S FIGURES.
The following statement, signed by
Senator Quay, was given out from
Republican National headquarters
Monday afternoon after a conference
of the Executive committee:
"The election of McKinley and
llobnrt is an accomplished and as
surrd fact. They will receive 270
electoral votes. Bryan will receive
110, and there are six Slates having
(7 electoral votes which ore doubtful,
but the probabilities all point to the
f'uet that lliebe (7 votes will go into
the Republican column and be added
to the 270 now assured for McKinley
and Hobart. This is the status to
day. We have the electiou and will
hold it. Our present effort in the
West is to this end only. The oppo
sition have abandoned the East."
Signed. M. S. Quay.
The Soldiers' Friend.
When lion. W. C. Arnold was a
caudidate for Congress two years ago
he declared that if elected he would
do his utmost in behalf of the old
and deserving soldiers of his district.
How well he bas kept his pledge is
shown by his record which is one to
which his friends point with pride.
Thus far there have been granted
through Mr. Arnold's persoual efforts
237 pensions; he has also had several
hundred claims placed upon the
"special list," which it is expected
will be disposed of before January 1,
1897, and has also given lime and
special attenliou to over 800 claims
which are now in course of adjust
ment. This is certainly a good showing
one which indicates Mr. Arnold's do
sire to keep his aute-electiou promise
and oue which should entitle him to
the loyal support of the old soldiers
of his distriot. DuBoix Courier.
A vote for free coinage at 1(3 to 1
is a vote to degrade our money stand
ard to the level of the semi-barbarous
countries of the world, China,
Mexico and the Spanish American
Republics.
It is a vote to cut wages iu two and
reduce the opportunities for employ
ment by one-half.
It is a vote tor national repudia
tion.
It is a vote to reduce the per capita
circulation of the country by two-
thirds.
It is a vote against the interests of
yourself, your neighbor and vour
country, aud solely aud only in the
iuterest of the silver syndicate.
The Trip to Cmitoih
The special train which left this
section last Friday carried just five
hundred people to Canton, where
they had the pleasure of shaking
hands with Major McKinley, and lis
euiug to oue of his eloquent and
pleasing addresses. The train made
very good time arriving at Canton at
about 2 o'clock. The parade formed
at the depot and marched to the Mc
Kinley homestead, where Mr. C. P.
Bucklin, of Tidioute, through whose
efforts the excursion was gotten up.
presented the citizens of Warren and
Forest couuties to the next President.
Major McKinley made a brief ad
dress in which he said :
Mr. Bucklin and Fellow Citizens of
Warren aud Forest Couuties, Pennsylva
niaIf I ever bad any doubt about the
extent of the population of the state of
Pennsylvania, tbat doubt has been re
moved since the St. Louis convention.
I think that I have bad the honor of a
call from nearly all Western Pennsylva
nia, and as far east as Ilarrisburg; all
coming upon tho same mission, all de
termined upon the same end that of con
tributing their part to the success of the
grandest principles that wuro ever advo
cated by any political patty and for the
greatest party in the world. We have
hud in tiiis country since the beginning
of the government a trial of two revenue
systems. One has been known as the
tarill' for revenue only system, and the
other has been known as tbo protective
system. We had no experience under
tho former for so many long
years that the people bad totally forgot
ton the distress which was the result of
tho inauguration of that system. We
hare had some experience with it during
the last three years and a half (a voice,
"We do not want any more of it,
though,") and as my friend says, we
don't yvant any more of it. This is one
of tho tilings you have a chance to vote
upon the third day of Novomber, wheth
er you want any more of it or whether
you want lesa of it. We have had histori
cally the greatest prosperity iu this coon
try ever enjoyed when wo have been un
der the proetectivo system. We have
had tho greatest depression, tho worst
paries anil the most universal distress
when wo have been under the laritf-for-rti
venue system.
Tho laiill'-for-ieVHUUo-oiily system has
but one aim, and that is to raise revenue.
Tho protective system has that aim, and
in addition to that has the further aim of
protecting American interests, American
labor and American markets. Tho pro
toctivn system lias proven in our history
to be a better revenue raiser than tho
revenue turill' system, for under it we
have always been able to provide sulli-
cieut revenues to conduct tho govern
ment; while under the tariff lor revenue
only system we have not in the last throe
years and a half been able to provide
adequate reveuuo to meet our public
necessities j so that as a revenue pro
ducer the tarill system inaugurated by
this administration has signally and ut
terly tailed. It has not only tailed in
raiding revenue for tho government, but
It has brought Injury to practically every
American Interest. It has favored every
other nation but our own, and we are
suffering as a consequence. Now that is
one phase ol our contention this year,
upon which you will vote.
Tho other is whether wo Vlll havo a
good, round, sound dollar with which to
do our business, or whether wo will do
out business with a depreciated changing
currency. Tho Republican party as Jou
know, believes in tho protective system
and Just ns firmly and earnestly believes
in an honest dollar with which to measure
the exchanges of tho American peoplo.
(A voice, "We will take a hundred cent
dollar.") My friend hero suggests that
we will tnko llin hundred cent dollar,
that's good enough for us nnd It's good
enough for all mankind ; and when they
talk about this nation having surrender
ed It-s independence becauso it won't
adopt the Chinese system of linanco I
send back the reply that thero is no In
dependence In tho United (States to which
dishonor attaches.
I am glad to meet and greet you and
would bo glad to talk to von longor. I
trust that the county of Varren and the
county of Forest, w'hich some yoars ago
received the banner as heim; the strong
est Republican county in the state, will
not permit any otoer county In 1'ennsvl
vania to take the banner from It.
Forest county's two haudsome
banucrs weie born Aloft in the pro
cession by Mews Andrew Carr and
Ed. Bumgardner, and attracted gen
eral ateutioii of the crowds which
lined either side of the streets along
the route. The day was a beautiful
one, and the crowds were immeuse
both in numbers and enthusiasm.
As soon as the Warren aud Forest
delegations had shaken bands, ano
ther delegation numbering fifteen
hundred or more marched up, and
shortly after them came tho ex Con
federate soldiers from the Shenandoah
valley, Virginia, one. thouaaud
strong, and atteuded by thousands of
friends from all along the route. The
streets leading to the Major's home
were a dense mass f people, and
cheer after cheer rent the air as they
passed along and while Major Mc
Kinley was speaking to them. Such
enthusiasm has never before been
known in a Presidential campaign.
The train left Cauton at 8 o'clock
reaching here between 2 and 3 Satur
day morning, without au accident of
any naturo to mar the enjoyment of
the trip.
An Enthusiastic Meeting At
" Tille.
Marleu-
Mamenvim.b, Pa., Oct. nth, 1R00.
The Republican meeting that was bill
ed for this place last evening came off
hi uie proper time ana place and was a
irrand success. Shortly after 7 o'clock
our Marienville band bepan discoursing
imam in irom oi mo iveystone-notol
where the speakors were being enter
tained, and tho crowd began to gather.
By the time the speakers were escorted
10 toe nan, uie new ana spacious opera
nun, i which uy me way will uea"teaul
when finished) was well filled. Others
kept coming until at least 500 had crowd
ed in. they seemed to bo eager, and
anxious to hear, and from the moment
the meeting opened they gave the closest
attention to tne specclics. Hon. a. S.
Towler called tho mooting to order and
asKeil lor tne nomination of a chairman
M. C. Carringor named Rob't Parrish,
and ho was elected without oimositiim.
Mr. Parrish thanked tho audience for tho
honor to which they had elevated him,
and then read tho following list of Vice
Presidents: C. R. McKcan, E. K. Fred
erick-, Jjute Jioyt, (.'lias, l.at.1, Dan Back
us, Hon. A. J. McCrav, Geo. Sanger, FA-
mer Sutton, Chas. Wagner, F. M. Keck,
. nut. r ltzgeraiu, uaviu snrelas, IS. i'
Hoover, James Morrison, E. A. Yotler,
E. E. Amslcr, Chas. Leech, J. J. Parsons,
T. J. Royner, Fred Kagln, David Mint.,
John Hoover and A. R. Moehling. The
Jenks township McKinley Club's Glee
Club, directed by Prof. Henry Miller,
ami eomposea oi tne following mem lien
W. S. Smullin, E. E. Amsler, Geo. Har
ringer, A. J. Sallade, J. Mercilliott. L. E.
Fitr.gerald, H. R. Mase, C. Fitzgerald,
W. P. Matison, H. W. Fitzgerald, J. U.
Cottle and G. L. Scott, then rendered
one of their unique campaign songs
which was well received. The Chairman
then greeted the audience with a lew
friendly words, pointing with pride to
the lost Republican Administration, (that
of the matchless Harrison) and the con
dition of the country at the close of that
Administration, aud saying they were
there to discuss from a Republican stand
point the reason of the great change in
the condition of the country from then
to tho present time, and show by the ar
gument of their speakers that they were
not responsible for it, but could offer a
remedy which they believed would re
store to the country its prosperous condi
tion prior to lH'M. He then introduced
William I. Swoope of Clearfield as the
tirst speaker. Mr. Swoope at once had
the attention of his listeners, and with
eloquence, mirth and oratory, hold them
that way for over an hour. His remarks
were along the same line of argument as
at Tionesla on the &U)i of last month.
Mr. Swoope is certainly a very clonueiit
speaker and made many Ir.ends, who
w in uo giau 10 welcome anil listen to mm
again. 'the Glee Club gave another
rousing campaign song, alter which the
Hon. W. C. Arnold was introduced us
the present member o!' Congress from
this district, and the next member who
would go from this listu district. Mr.
Arnold at onco entered into the discuss
ions at issue in a calm dispassionate
manner, showing his ability to copo with
them, and that he was entirely conver
sant with the history of tho country, its
ai'ieveinents, mistakes, de. He tinted
clearly that his record was before the
people and upon that record he was will
ing to stand or fall, lie says, "if eUcted
(and I will be) I will never, never, nkvkk
voto for a 6e. dollar." On tho other
hand he h&ym, "if 1 am elected (and I
will be) arid a taritf bill comes up iu
Congress which Win. McKinley will
see that there does I will voto and Work
for such a bill to tho end that our mills
and factories may bo set iu motion and
prosperity again restored toonr people."
Mr. Arnold s speech was sound, logical
and convincing, and delivered iu suoli a
candid manner that lie tuado many
friends among those of I lie other par
ties. We predict for him a re-election
with a largely increased majority. The
Glee Club aain Hug, ut'uir which Dr.
Towler whs introduced. Jt is very hard
for oue to come in last, alter all lias been
said and entertain or hold un audience,
nut mo ur. is aiwnvs at lioino belore an
audience and ready to speak un any sub
ject, lie had been keeping a lab on tho
speakers as they had appeared hero from
time to time, and iu his happy
inimical way, showed up the absurdity
oi some oi tneir sLuU'mi nt-s. i no lr
remarks wi re well received as were nil
the speeches id 'tho evening. Tho Glee
Club and hand added inni li to I'm int
est and enthusiasm ol the evening. At
tiie close the band gave another selection
aud tho meeting adjourned with thru)
rousing cheers . lor McKinley, Arnold,
w eiiK anil ino wnoio county ticket.
The speakers, togellitir with our popu
lar County Chairman, tins H. Kvaus, in
rived in town aliout 5 o'clock overland
route, and were pretty tired. However
they said, (as did several strangers who
wt'ie stoiiiin; in town) that we had one
of the best aud most interesting meetings
they Had attended during tne campaign.
