STATE ISSUES
ARE BOLDLY MET
State Treasurer Beacom Talks
About His Office Right
Among the People.
EVERY DOLLAR ACCOUNTED FOB.
Democrats Demoralized Over the Frank
Action of Republicans in Discus
sing the State Issues.
(Special Correspondence.)
Harrlsburg. Oct. 24. The Democratic
leaders and their sympathizers have
been amazed and chagrined at the
bold and defiant manner in which the
Republican candidate and other orators
in this campaign have met every at
tack made upon the administration ot
the Mate treasury. The Democracy
have been banking upon the thought
that with national issues properly to
the front of the canvass, owing to the
fact that rtryan and his followers have
been assailing President McKinley,
that Republicans would confine their
speeches solely to topics bearing upon
the war. Rut there has not been a
single utterance from a Democrat
worthy of replying to that has not met
a prompt and vigorous response from
the Republican camp. A novel feature
of the canvass is the appearance on
the stump of State Treasurer James S.
Beacom, who meets the people face to
face to discuss the condition of the
finances of the commonwealth with the
taxpayers.
In the platform adopted at the Re
publican state convention it was de
clared :
We favor an economical admin
istration of state affairs and de
mand the prompt settlement and
collection of all claims and taxes
due by individuals, companies and
corpora i ions. We also favor the
prompt payment of school war
rants drawn upon the treasurer,
so that each district shall be paid
ns scon as the appropriation is
needed and demand be made for
the payment thereof.
We believe in reducing the ex
penses of the judicial, executive
and legislative branches of the
state government to the minimum,
so that the public expenditure shall
not exceed the annual revenues. It
Is a source of gratification to re
call that our state has never lost
a dollar by reason of the negli
gence, default or dishonesty of any
of its accounting officers, -and we
especially commend the business
like and efficient administration of
the retiring state treasurer, James
S. I'eacom.
Upon these two planks of the plat
form the Republicans of Pennsylva
nia are making an aggressive canvass.
Colonel Harnett, the nominee for state
treasurer, stands pledged to carry out
the policy therein outlined.
REACOM ON THE ISSUES.
State Treasurer Beacom, in com
menting upon the important issues of
the canvass, had this to say:
"During this campaign statements
have appeared in the Democratic and
sorehead newspapers that the Repub
licans dare not go to the country this
year on state issues; that we are afrid
to discuss the management of the
treasury department, and are endeav
oring to throw dust in the eyes of the
people by keeping up a hurrah on na
tional questions. So far as I am per
omely concerned I think the very
strongest issue of the Republican party
in this ampalgn is the management
of the treasury department for the last
35 years under successive state treas
urers." Mr. lieacom then entered Into a
minute explanation of how the money
of t.:o people is managed by the treas
ury department; how it is collected,
how It is cared for, and how It is paid
out. He showed that every cent of
money paid Into the state treasury Is
traced to the hands of the treasurer,
not only by the receipt of the treasurer,
countersigned by the auditor general,
but also by the detailed annual report
cf the state treasurer, and by the bocks
of U:e auditor general. It would bo
Impossible, he held, for a state treas
urer to receive the smallest sum ot
money without the public knowing
that he had so received It.
Continuing, he said: "There Is some
difference oi opinion as to the best
method of raring for public funds. A
distinguished Pent:: lvii;l- n argued in
a speech niiule in Philadelphia during
the l-'st caripaln that the money
nhmld be l.ept in the vaults of the
trorniy department and paid out over
its own counters. I do not poi-e as a
great financier, but I believe I express
to you the conviction of tiie best finan
ciers of the world when I say that this
would bo a most wimitlve and vicious
system.
"Just now, when business is flourish
ing and new enterprises are springing
up all around im. furnishing an un
paralleled demand for money and la
bor, the business world is confronted
with the t ict that several hundred
millions of dollars are absolutely with
drawn from the channels of business
and &t red up in th6 vaults of the Uni
ted St.'ites sub-treasury, whence It can
only come for the purpose of paying
claims against the government. Now,
suppose every state treasurer and ev
ery county treasurer for If good for
one it is good for all should lock up
the balances in their own valuts, what
would be the result? Such an argu
ment, reduced to Its last analysis,
means that every man ought to carry
his money in his own pocket, and that
the whole banking system is an evil
that ought tf be abolished, which Is
to reduce the argument to such obvious
absurdity that nothing more need be
said about it to an intelligent audi
ence. "According to my humble view it is
the right thing to keep all the money
of the country in the channels of busi
ness, which is the same thing as saying
that it ought to be kept in the banks,
lu addition, it is an undeniable fact
that the money of the people of this
stale has been so well safeguarded
that the taxpayers have suffered abso
lutely no loss whateyer.andIt will

TREASURER BEACOMS POLICY.
After entering Into the financial con
ditions of the state and explaining the
system of paying out the appropria
tions to the public schools, he con
fined: "The policy of the treasury
department since I have had charge
of it has been to pay the appropriations
where needed and when needed. Aa
the public funds are upon Interest for
the taxpayers at large while they re
main in the state depositories. It has
seemed to me to be good business to
leave them there until they are need
ed for the purposes for which they are
appropriated. Of course, as soon a
a school district actually needs its ap
propriation it should be paid, and I
say that every school district in the
state that has ever made known to
either the school department or the
treasury department that It was In
need of Its appropriation has been
promptly accommodated with either
tho whole amount due or as much
thereof as was necessary for its pur
pose. This was the record made last
year, and that is the record this year
up to the present time.
ALL THE BOOKS ARE OPEN.
"Now, having explained how your
money Is collected, cared for and paid
out, I will indulge in a few general re
marks about the treasury department
and its critics. I notice that 'Farmer
Creasy is traveling about the state
telling the people how anxious he is
to get into the treasury department
and take the lid off. He is making the
boldest assertions about official rot
tenness and corruption and holding
forth the idea that the people can be
only relieved from their thraldom by
his election as state treasurer. This is
the merest political twaddle. The rec
ords of the treasury department are
public records. Every citizen of this
commonwealth has a right to come
there and examine every book and
paper in the department, and no man
since I have been treasurer has been
refused access to anything that is in
the office.
"If 'Farmer' Creasy is as honest aa
he pretends to be why does he not
come to the treasury department and
'lift the lid.' as he calls it. and find
out what is wrong and tell the people
in plain English what it is that is rot
ten and corrupt? 'Farmer' Creasy'a
statements about the treasury depart
ment and Its management show either
lamentable ignorance or a willful dis
position to misstate facts, and in either
case he is not the best man to be se
lected for the office.
EFFORT TO DECEIVE DISHONEST.
"The whole effort to deceive the
people into the belief that there Is
something concealed about the treas
ury department is simply bold dis
honesty. I have stood upon the plat
form time after time since I have
taken charge of the treasury depart
ment and have asked the people before
whom I was talking to come to the
treasury department themselves if
they were so disposed, or to appoint
experts to examine everything in it and
about it, and satisfy thetrrelves as to
whether there was anything there that
would not bear public inspection. This
whole talk about the treasury depart
ment is for political purpose solely and
absolutely and is a wrong .to the peo
ple of the commonwealth.
"Creasy and his band of orators are
going over the state telling the peo
ple that if Creasy is elected state
treasurer he will pay out $5,500,000
every year of the public schools, not
withstanding the governor's veto. It
is hard to believe absurdity could reach
such a climax. How does he expect
to go over to the school department,
take the superintendent by the neck
and compel him to sign warrants? And
if he gets the warrants signed there
will he go to the auditor general's de
partment, and at the point of the bay
onet compel the auditor general to
countersign tho warrants?
"Orators on the stump are endeavor
ing to create a belief that the public
funds are loaned out from the state
treasury. This is not only not true,
but It is not possible that any such
thing could be done without the public
knowing it. A monthly statement is
published by the state treasurer, giv
ing out the amount of the balance In
the department and naming the banks
In whhh the money is deposited, and it
would bo simply Impossible for the
money to be any place else without
immediate detection.
NOT A DOLLAR LOST.
"It should be a matter of pride for
you to consider that for more than
30 of 35 years the officials of your
party have managed the treasury de
partment without the loss of a single
dollar to the taxpayers of the state,
and that your party through Its repre
sentatives has passed laws so hedging
the state officials about as to make it
almost impossible for the taxpayers
to suffer injury.
"The worst that has been said of
the treasury is that some banks which
had the state moneys on deposit some
times lend their money to politicians.
I would remind you that when the
state treasurer places public funds In
a "bank they become the funds of the
bank and are no longer public funds,
no more than your private funds placed
in a bank remain yours after they have
been deposited. When you make a de
posit in a bank you have no power
to say what use it shall make of the
money. The banker gets the money to
lend and not to look at. He is re
quired to pay interest on it and he
must use it, and the state treasurer
has no right to say to him what use
he shall make of it.
"In this Republican year, when the
glories of Republican legislation are
sounding in the hum of industry and
business prosperity, there can be no
reason why a Republican should not
vote the Republican ticket unless the
candidates are clearly unfitted for the
duties of the offices which they seek.
I have known the candidate for state
treasurer. Colonel James E. Barnett,
for 20 years, and I have never heard
his honesty and Integrity questioned
by friend or foe. If he is honest and
capable, which seems to be generally
admitted, then you ean depend upon It
that he and nobody else will run the
treasury department.
POLITICIANS NEVER INTERFERED

that if you have any fault to find with

BARNETTS TOUR.
Itinerary of the Soldier Candidate
For the Closing Days.
CANVASS A GREAT SUCCESS.
Immense Crowds of Enthusiastic Citizen
Greet the Republican Nomine For
State Treasurer at Every Point,
The receptions accorded Colonel Bar
nett, the Republican candidate for
state treasurer, and his colleagues, who
are traveling through the state, con
tinue to be of the most enthusiastic
character The crowds that gather to
meet the gallant officer of the Fighting
Tenth regiment and his comrades who
are with him on the stump are always
large and demonstrative, says a special
dispatch from Philadelphia. Colonel
Barnett has picked up wonderfully In
health since he left the doctor's hands
a short time ago, and he has made a
favorable impression In his speechmak
ing. He has not hesitated to meet the
issues, whether state or national, and
his pledge to administer the duties ot
the office of state treasurer with fidel
ity and In strict accordance with law,
to Insist upon the prompt payment of
interest on all public monies in the
banks, and to pay out upon demand all
monies for which a properly drawn
warrant shall be presented, has called
forth many expressions of approval.
Colonel Parnett, for the final ten
days of the canvass, has an Interesting
itinerary, which will take him Into the
western and central sections of the
state. He was the central figure at a
splendid reception given Monday even
ing, the 23d Inst., at the clubhouse ot
the William R. Leeds association, Phil
adelphia. From there he goes to In
diana. Indiana county, where he la
h--'--t! o Frnk tennrrow nlcht. Then
he visits Apollo, Armstrong county, on
the i.:ii lust.; io . Cdstio, i,avrence
county, on the 2(ith; Oil City, Venango
county, on the 27th; Erie, Erie coun
ty, on the 28th; Warren, Warren coun
ty, on the 30th; Bradford, McKean
county, on the 31st: Williamsport, Ly
coming county, on Nov. 1; Lewlsburg,
Union county, on Nov. 2; Chambers
burg, Franklin county, on Nov. 3, and
on Saturday, Nov. 4, he returns to
Philadelphia, where, with the other
candidates on the Republican state
ticket, he will be given a reception by
the Young Republicans of Philadel
phia. The final Barnett meeting of
the campaign will be held at Harrls
burg on the day before the election,
Monday, Nov. 6, where a great turn
out of Republicans Is anticipated.
During the remaining days of the
canvnas the two parties of Republican
spellbinders who have been touring the
state will be consolidated, and the fam
ous Tenth Regiment Glee club will ac
company Colonel Barnett to all the
meetings, ns will Cpptalns Crago and
Watson, Surgeon Major Neff, Lieuten
ant Aiken, Adjutant Scott and other
Dfficer! and privates of the Tenth regi
ment. Colonel Charles M. Clement, of
Sunbnry, commander of the Twelfth
regiment. N. O. P., has recently joined
the corps of Republican orators. Ho
makes nn entertaining and captivating
address.
In one of his recent speeches he said:
"When I came to look for the issue
that was being raised In behalf of the
Creasy ticket I found the same old
avoidance of every real Issue that has
tharacterized his party for 30 years
ast. In tones as strident as those of
n calllopO VtiSf v:e: e -y
and every Publican ; s a t -( i . : -i
robber. Primarily these a;e .10 iu3
in this campaign that are not pre
eminently and Intensely national. But
if there is to be any state Issue, any
review of tho past history of the com
monwealth, the Republican party has
nothing to fear.
"Twenty years ago a Democrat of
such personal integrity that he was
known as "square timber" was elected
state treasurer. Two years later, when
he came to turn over his office to his
Republican successor, the transfer had
to be postponed for several weeks be
cause the latter would not accept ob
ligations, but demanded cash. The re
sult of this one administration was the
failure of the incumbent and the sac
rifice of many reputations. On the
other hand, in all the years that the
Republican party has administered
that office never has been one dollar
unaccounted for.
"At that time the total revenues of
the state would scarcely have paid the
school appropriation of today. Its
growth and expansion is the history
of the Republican party. It has more
than quintupled the school appropria
tion and has taken taxes off many ob
jects to place them exclusively upon
the corporation."
