WHY BUSINESS
IS BOOMING.
The Situation as Viewed by a
Prominent Agriculturist.
HOW FARMERS SHOULD VOTE
PennsyWanuns Must Roll Up a Big Re
publican Majority and Lead in the
Canvass For McKinley'i
Re-election.
It Is not always the experienced bus
iness man that puts things in the
tritest and most forcible English
when he has anything to say. The In
telligent, wide awake agriculturist,
who has an opportunity to study public
questions nnd to form his own opin
ions from well established facts, fre
quently has a knack of expressing him-
seir in a manner mat leaves uu
to doubt his convictions or to suc
cessfully controvert his conclusions.
John Hamilton, who is secretary of
agriculture of this state, is a practical
agriculturist and a consistent Republi
can as well. In commenting upon the
present political situation he said:
"Government is a business. Business
upon a colossal scale, conducted by
men delegated to act for the whole peo
ple, anil these delegated men are in
structed by the people to carry into
operation and effect the great leading
principles which the majority for the
time profpsses to believe.
"In ISA:1 'tariff for revenue only' sup
planted as a business principle 'tariff
for protection of industry,' and the ef
fect of this radical change of an es
sential principle was instantly per
ceived. Mills that formerly run unin
terruptedly began to close their gates,
traffic that had been busy began to
fall away. Foreign goods best:n to
pour in upon our shores; labor besan
to be idle in our streets; building iie
gan to suspend construction; money,
which had been abundant, began to
grow scarce; mines and furnaces be
gan to close out their business; prices
began to drop; soup houses began to
rise and tramps thronged the high
ways; capital grew timid; lenders at
home and abroad called for their cash;
the sheriff's sales were posted upon
every billboard. The whole country
was in industrial and social despair.
Even the government, to protect it
self from utter overthrow, along with
that which had overtaken her citizens,
was compelled to go out into the mar
kets of the world and borrow money at
exorbitant cost, to the extent of $262,
000,000, in time of peace, to meet the
expenses of the state. Four long years
of thi3 experiment, 'tariff for revenue
only,' continued, when again, in 1S9G.
the parties rnmo up before the people
for their judgment.
THE 16 TO 1 ISSUE.
"The Democratic party, knowing
and fearing their record, and that the
old cry of a 'tariff for revenue only
would cause their overwhelming de
feat. Invented a new issue, with which
they hoped to overshadow the old one
of 1802. and they called it '16 to 1.'
The 'free coinage of silver' was the
Democratic war cry, and the Republi
cans stood, as of old, for 'sound money
nnd the protection of American indus
try.' The Republicans took up as
their candidate nnd leader that noble
representative protectionist, William
McKinley, the author of the tariff act
of 1S90, and the Democrats appropri
ated a mnn un to that time compara
tively unknown, but whose record as
a believer in the free coinage of silver,
"1G to 1,' was open and pronounced.
"The Democrats contended that the
ills which had been endured during
the four years of their admlnstration,
end v Mch could not be disguised,
wp-c d'.:o to the unsatisfactory condi
tion of the currency of 'the country,
and proclaimed that if there could be
the free and unlimited coinage of sil
ver, '10 to 1,' orr troubles would be
nt r.n end, and all henceforth would be
well. To this Idea they rallied all the
factions and all of the parties, north,
south, east and west who were opposed
to the Republican idea, and the battle
v.ts fought out on this Issue as no
previous battle had ever before been
fouirht. Foreign nations, as spectators
of the conflict, predicted as a result
the overthrow of t'r.e financial system
of the country, and perhaps the ulti
mate destruction of the republic, and
many conservative, thoughtful citizens
r.t l;er.ie were seriously questioning
wretbrr a fre people, made up of such
diver.-e elements as composed the
Ameriir.n ur.tiou, could govern them-ceive-..
''Vi'hen, however, the election day
mine, the R:'.nMirnns hnd clearly
shewn that the injury to the business
of the country and our other indus
trial Ills were not due to the money
queslion at all, bi t (hat the tariff poli
ty of the Dcjuo-THtlc party was the
cause of all of our disturbances in
l.u linens, and rror.iised that if the Re
publican idea thr.t a 'tariff for the pro
tection of American industry' were re
instated prosperity would return and
Imsinors ren-me Its beneficent sway
all over the land.
M'KTNLEY AND PROSPERITY.
"Major McKinley was elected; no
cfcai-e has been made in the financial
rystcni: no other part of our business
has been seriously modified; all is
left subntnt tally as before, except two
things: 0;ie is that the 'tariff for reve
nue only' lias bepn stricken off and a
'tariff for the protection of American
industry' has been restored. The other
is that Republican citizens who be
lieve in this doctrine of 'protection to
American labor' have been put in of
fice to carry the law Into effect.

STEEL FOR INDIA.
"Here is another from the Harris
burg Patriot of the same day, headed,
More Steel for India.' 'Thirty-nine
Carloads Moved Last Night Rail
Shipments. 'Another big shipment
of steel for India was made from Steel
ton last night. Thirty-nine cars of the
heavy steel were sent east over the
Pennsylvania railroad. Contrary to
former announcements this will not be
the last shipment made for the big
viaduct. The 39 cars sent east last
night raise the entire shipment made ;
to date to about 100 carloads. This, it is
now announced, comprises but one-half
of the metal to be used and will make
up the cargo of one steamer. The
rest will be shipped later, but the ex
act date Is not now known. The metal
will go by way of New York, thence
across the Atlantic and east by way
of the Suez canal route. This has been
a busy week at the works, and the
mills have had difficulty In getting
enough raw material to keep them in
operation. Yesterday the first Instal
ment of about 200 cars of Iron ore ar
rived. It is lake ore and came from
Erie by way of the Pennsylvania. It
will be turned Into iron as quickly as
possible and given out for consump
tion to the different departments. The
rail mill has been busy, but the ship
ments during the past few days have
been light. Earlier in the week the
shipments wore heavier, and as high
as 2G carloads going out in one train.
These rails were of the heaviest type.'
"Here is still another, taken from
the Philadelphia Record, headed, 'Big
Cargo of Locomotives. 'The Puritan
Will Sail Today for Russia nun
Fortv of Them.' 'The British steam
ship Puritan will clear today for China
and Siberia with the largest cargo of
railway material that has ever gone
from any port in the United States.
Her destination Is Vlndivostock and
New Chwang. She will take out 40
Baldwin locomotives and tenders and
18 steel bridges for the Chinese East
tern railroad, besides several thousand
tons of miscellaneous cargo. She will
proceed via the Suez canal direct to
Vlndivostock, afterward returning xo
New Chwang to complete discharging
her cargo. The Puritan will be fol
lowed to the Russian Black sea ports
by an almost similar cargo which the
British steamship Uplands is now load
ing here.'
"Where in all the long doleful four
years from 1S92 to 1S96 could such ar
ticles as these have been clipped? If
you were to search all the files of all
the papers. Democratic, Republican,
Topulist, Prohibition and insurgent,
printed in that time, where could such
statements as these be found? But
now, every page of every paper is
filled with advertisements of business,
until one can scarcely find the news
in the midst of the elaborate display.
The mills and mines are overwhelmed
with orders, and day and night, Sun
day and Monday, wet and dry, hot
and cold. In season and out, on they
go in the wild race to overtake their
orders, given from six months to a
year ahead.
WHAT CAUSED THE CHANGE.
"Who did all this? Well, it was not
the Democratic party. What did all
this? Well, it was not '16 to 1,' or the
issue of additional money, either, to
inflate or corrupt our currency.
"To convince you that it was not
the Democratic idea of more money
that wrought this change, listen to
some facts: In 1894, when business
wr.s at Its lowest ebb, the per capita
of money In this country was $35.39.
In 1899, on the 1st day of August, It
was $33.01, or $2.38 leas than it was in
1894. The amount in 1894 in circula
tion was $24.28, and on the 1st of Au
gust, 1899, it was $25.31. or only $1.03
more than it was in 1894. It Is, there
fore, clear to every reasoning man that
the prosperity which is now upon us
has not been due to the amount of
money present in the country nor to
the amount in circulation, for there
Is less today than tnere was In 1894,
when the country was In the depths
of business despair, and it must be ow
ing to some other cause not directly
related to the money question at all.
"What change was made by the Re
publican administration when it came
into power in 1897? Only this one.
American industry was protected by a
wise tariff schedule. This is all that
was done, and to this, and this alone,
is due the marvelous prosperity which
we now experience and enjoy. The
business management was changed.
Experiments with the people's occupa
tions by which their livelihood Is
secured were abandoned, and the old
and well tried and effective doctrine
of 'protection to American industry'
was restored. This is all, and as the
Democrats look on today and hear the
deafening whirl of business around
them on every side, and see the ac
tivity and cheerfu'ness of men, where
enly three short years ngo all was still
and silent as the grave, they explain
with astonishment with one accord
whenever they suppose that no one can
hear, 'it certainly beats the hand.'
"In view of facts like these, are the
farmers of Pennsylvania interested in
the business management of this
country? If they are, then how should
the farmers of I'ennFylvania vote?
Shall they be guided simply by the in
herited tendencies and traditions of
their fathers, or shall they awake from
the sentimental side of politics and
throw their influence, their voice and
their vote in favor of that organiza
tlon of their fellow citizens which has
uniformly and consistently given good
government, sound money and prosper
ous conditions to the commonwealth
and to the whole nation, whenever
they had control, or will they as busi
ness men use their Influence, raise
their voices and cast their votes in
favor of that organized portion of their
fellow citizens whicn has failed con
tinuously and uniformly in their ad
ministration of both state and national
affairs, whenever their party has been
In power?
REPUBLICANS IN PENNSYLVANIA
"When the Republicans of Pennsyl
vania assumed the reins of govern
ment in this state the legacy they in
herited from their Democratic prede
cessors was a debt of over $40,000,000,
On the 30th of November. 1S98, this

$39,000,000 of uemoc-Hic debt paid
from 1861 to 1898, and if the present
deficiency in the revenue is added to
this legacy of debt which the Demo
crats have left us, the entire debt of
the commonwealth will not exceed
over $4,000,000. How is that for busi
ness management, during all the tur
bulent times of war, and the alleged
mismanagement of the Republican
party in Pennsylvania? Surely no
business firm within the limits of this
commonwealth can show a better bal
ance sheet in all these years than the
good old commonwealth under the
business management of the Republi
can party from 1861. If a lifetime of
Integrity and business success is a
strong endorsement of the capacity and
Integrity of a business man, is it not
also true that 38 years of business
success and political integrity upon
the part of a great political party en
titles it to the confidence and respect
of all right thinking citizens and busi
ness men who love their common
wealth and desire only her highest
good? With history so recent and
with a record so pronounced as these
two parties present, no intelligent citi
zen can long hesitate upon which side
to cast his vote. The Republican
party has deserved support, and in
view of her efficient and progressive
spirit, as manifested in the past, the
great body of patriotic, liberty loving
and progressive people of this dear old
commonwealth will continue as nere
tofore to give her their very cordial
and most enthusiastic support.
Pennsylvania should this fall roll
up big Republican majorities for Colo
nel James E. Barnett. the candidate
for state treasurer, and his colleagues
on the Republican state ticket. The
Keystone state shall lead in the
movement for the re-election of Presi
dent McKinley jiext year.
PRINCIPLES THAT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY
IN PENNSYLVANIA
STAND FOR THIS FALL
Under the leadership of President
McKinley the Republicans of Penn
sylvania lock with confidence to the
result of the election in November
next. They presented the issues bold
ly in their platform adopted at the
Republican state convention held at
Harrisburg on Aus. 24. 1899, wuen
they declared:
That we congratulate the Amer
ican people upon the results of tne
campaign of 1896, the establish
ment of a sound currency, the
securing of proper protection to
American industries, and the elec
tion of that champion of the com
mon people, William McKinley, to
be president of the United States.
The Republican party has been in
control of the national government
for little more than two years, and
WILLIAM M'KIXI.EY.
during that time every promise
made by it has been fulfilled.
Business is active and remunera
tive, labor is employed at good
and Increasing wage3, capital has
nn ample field for investment, and
an era of unexampled prosperity
has been inaugurated. Much of
the success of the Republican
policy adopted in 1896 is due to
the good judgment, wise counsel,
administrative ability, far reich
ing diplomacy and broad minded
statesmanship of our patriotic
president. We firmly support and
fully Indorse his administration
and place on record the wish of tho
Republicans of Pennsylvania that
he be nominated to lead our hosts
to victory In the campaign of 1900,
and to this end we recommend the
election of delegates who will give
his candidacy earnest and vigorous
support in the next national con
vention. REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN HANNA.
Here is what the chairman of the
Republican national committee says:
"There 13 no doubt that the state
elections this fall will be taken as au
index of the sentiment of the Ameri
can people upon the issues of the np
proarhlng national campaign. It Is,
therefore. Important that every Re
publican vote shall re cast in No
vember for the candidates on the Re
publican state tickets In Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Kentucky, Iowa and in other
states in which there are local con
tests for important offices. All our
Republican majorities this year should
be as large as possible to emphasize
the popular feeling.
"Of course, I believe that rresident
McKinley will be renominated. I think
that industrial conditions and the
Philippine war will prove factors in
the coming campaign. The Philippine
war will be made an Issue by the
Democratic party, but we have noth
ing to fear. I would as lief have so
called anti-expanison made an issue
as 1 would have the sliver question,
for silver Is an old man of the sea.
I am not afraid of the outcome among
the people. I have reasoned out that
the sound Judgment of the people is
that they do not want to bring about
a change. They will not, I believe, by
their own act change the conditions
of the country.
"The United States has entered on
nn era of prosperity Tho promises of
the Republican party have been kept.
The commercial conditions of the
country are sound, and this prosperity
is based on confidence. I am confi
dent of sweeping Republican victor
ies." M. A. HANNA,

Tho candidates on tho slate ticket,"
says Colonel A. Nevin romeroy, of
the Franklin Repository, "represent
the Republican party of Pennsylvania,
and no Republican who has given the
matter serious thought will think of
voting against that party this year.
Even If the candidates were not what
they are It should be remembered that
they represent a party l".t has brought
so much prosperity to us, and one
which has exceedingly grave Issues to
dispose of. The people have placed
the disposition of these matters in the
hands of the Republican party, nnd
they owe It to that party to uphold its
hands until the affairs of so much im
portance are finally adjusted.
"It ever in the history of the country
it was necessary for the Republican
party to roll up a big majority it is
this year. No one denies that Presi
dent McKinley should be elected next
year. His record of the past three
years entitles him to a re-election; the
future prosperity of the country de
mands It. A reduction in the Repub
lican vote this year simply gives en
couragement to the opposition for the
battle of 1900. The Republican vote
In Pennsylvania this fall should bo

past."

WHAT A BIG VOTE
FOR THE DEMOCRACY
v IN PENNSYLVANIA
IN NOVEHBER MEANS
From Pennsylvania's Democratic or
ganization, through the state conven
tion held at Harrisburg on June 14.
1899. came the first oUcial declaration
in favor of William Jennings Bryan
that was given in the present move
ment to make Bryan the Democratic
nominee for president In 1900. The
Democratic machines of Iowa, Nebras
ka. Kentucky and other states have
since fallen Into line and already the
opening guns are being fired in the
skirmishing throughout the country
for next year's great battle between
McKinley. and Bryan. While those
Democrats favoring a state issue cam
paign In Pennsylvania this year fought
vigorously to keep Bryan s name out
of the state platform, the sllverltea
had control of the party organization,
WILLIAM J. CUT AS.
and they were determined to place on
record their loyalty and devotion to
their Nebraska champion. They did
this In an unequivocal and emphatic
declaration in the first plank in the
platform. Since the adoption of thh
platform, the state organization nav
Ing been placed on record for Bryan,
the state chairman has been trying to
make the contest a state issue cam
paign in the hope of getting the sound
money Democrats for the ticket. A
big vote for the Democratic candidates
next month will be hailed with de
light by the Bryanites. Tho Pennsyl
vania platform says:
First The Democracy of Penn
sylvania in convention assembled,
again renewing our pledges of
fidelity and devotion to the sacred
lights of the people; true to the
faith and principles of our party,
as declared in the platforms of our
several national conventions (no
tice the iniquitous Chicago plat
form Is not excepted), and PROUD
OF OUR MATCHLESS LEADER,
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
realize that the issues involved In
tho coming campaign in Pennsyl
vania are honest government,
clean politics and the redemption
of our state from Republican mis
rule and corruption.
DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN JONES.
The chairman of the Democratic na
tional committee has this to say, in an
interview Just cabled from London,
where he is recuperating from his re
cent attack of sickness:
"Democrats everywhere, according
to my correspondence, are falling Into
line for the great national campaign of
1900. The vote in the state elections
this fall will demonstrate that our
party is getting into splendid shape
for the coming presidential election.
'The Democratic party in the next
presidential campaign will fight on a
platform of anti-imperialism, free sil
ver, nnti-trusts and the reduction of
tariffs. These are of prime import
ance, and I believe will be unequivo
cally Indorsed by the convention.
Other Issues will be met as they arise.
"I personally believe In giving the
Filipinos absolute self government and
in telling the world to keep its hands
off in the Philippines.
"William J. Bryan will surely be the
Democratic nominee for president.
Goebel is the regular nominee of the
Kentucky Democrats, and therefore
should be supported. Goebel will win.
"Mel.iean, by his splendid serviee to
the party in IMG, ought to carry every
thing in Ohio." J. K. JONES,

TAX ACCOUNTS INCREASED.
A Gratlf.vliiff Showing Made by Mate
Comptroller Wllllnm J. Morgan.
ALBANY, Oct. 10. State Comptroller
William J. Morgan has Just balanced
the tax accounts for the fiscal year
ended Sept. SO. 1S99. The showing is a
very gratifying one. The total tax col
lected from corporations In 1899 is
greater than In any other year since
the corporation tax laws were enacted
and the receipts from the transfer or
Inheritance tax are greater than In
any preceding year, with the single ex
ception of the year 1S93, when the total
reached J:!.0T1.6ST. Of this latter amount
however four estates paid into the
treasury $l,o:.6.137.
During the tax year just rlosod 95$
companies were ndded to the list of tax
paying corporations. The net increase
for the year, however, was only 417. as
541 corporations that had previously
paid taxes hnd either been declared ex.
empt by the courts or had gone out of
business. There Is a steady Incrense
in the number of corporations coming
within the purview of the corporation
tax laws.
Comptroller Morgan, In addition to
giving close attention to tax matters
In this state, has extended his observa
tions elsewhere and has collected some
very interesting data. During the past
year the number of corporations or
ganized In this state and in New Jer
sey, with the amount of organization
tax collected, was as follows:
In New Jersey there were 1.928 In
corporations organized, paying n tax
of $728,000, while In New York there
were 1.S39 Incorporations organized
paying only $474,000 tax, giving New
Jersey an excess In taxes of $254,000.
The feature of this exhibit which
should arrest the attention of the peo
ple of this state Is that, while tho num
ber of corporations organized In the
two states Is nearly the same and tre
tax rate vasily higher In this state, b
lng one-eishth of one per cent In New
York, to one-fiftieth of one per cent In
New Jersey, the amount of tax col
lected In New Jersey Is one and one
half times greater than her?. This
shows that th? small corporations
sought organization In this state, while
the wealthy ones went to New Jersey.
At the rates charged for organization
in the two stales, the amount of tax
collected Indicates that about $3,000.
000,000 of capital sought organization In
New Jersey to about $380,000,000 In this
state.
Comptroller Morgan Is of the opinion
that about SO per cent of the $3,000,
000,000 Incorporated in New Jersey last
year was New York money. He is also
of the opinion that If the bill" Intro
duced In our legislature last winter had
passed, reducing the rate of the organ
ization tax to the figures c'.iarged In
New Jersey, a large proportion of this
immense amount of new capital would
have been organized In this state, where
It is employed in business. By charg
ing a low rnte for organization New
Jersey not only collected more money
for organization than this states does
but It also brings the immense amount
of capital Incorporated within reach
of Its annual tax of one-tenth of one
per cent.
The receipts from the transfer or
Inheritance tax, during the past three
years were as follows: Fiscal year end
ed Sept. 30, 1S99, $2,194,612.24; fiscal year
ended Sept 30, 1SS, $1,997,210.24; fiscal
The increase in 1S99 over 1S9S was $197,
402. and over 1S97, $3C4,670.41.
