THE CITIZEN Catered >t Pottofllce .t Bmtler >• M cl«»-»tt.r WIU.IAH C. KKWLICTt - THURSDAY. DECEMBER 17. 1596 A! ——" ANSWERING A DEMAGOGUE delphia branch of the Business men has issued the following statement regarding the criticisms of the organization by Senator Quay: "Not only the members of the various branches of the National League of Busi ness men throughout Pennsylvania, but the great mass of business men generally must have been startled at the remark able language used by Senator Quay. Never in their wildest moments did Popocratic orators, in the late campaign, use language more demagogic and com munistic in their appeals to the so-call ed ''masses" against those called "clas ses." He out-Herods Herod and out- Bryans Bryan. ' Senator Quay rails against the busi ness men of America, the men who ral lied to the support of the Republican party in 188S; who did not seek to rob him of any of the glory of that victory, though without their vigorous co-opera tion he would have been impotent. What would have been the result of the re markable campaign recently closed, but for the activity of th? business men? "One does not have to go very far back however, to discern the reason for Mr. Quay's dislike of the business men. Only those ot short memory have forgotten his bitter hostility to the nomination of Maj. McKinley for the Presidency and his own opera-bouffe candidacy for that high office. "Notwithstanding his spectacular flight to Canton, last spring, Mr. Quay continued his opposition to Maj. McKin lev up to the last minute, even going so far as to attend a meeting of the Nation al committee on a proxy from the Dis trict of Columbia, accompanied by his son and by his chief lieutenant. W. H. Andrews, on proxies respectively, from Connecticut and Alaska. He fought through two entire days and nights to throw ont enough McKinley delegates to encompass the major's defeat. But the foundation of Maj. McKinley's cam paign bad been laid solidly among the business men of tbe land —and under the skillful guiding hand of that great busi ness man. Mark A. Hanna, the schemes of the politicians came to naught. It is not to l»e wondered at, therefore, that Mr yuay entertains such a strong an tipathy for the business men of the coun- is remarkable that Mr Quay should have so suddenly awakened to the evils of 'millionaire' representatives in the United States Senate. Was not Mr Quay alone responsible for the re-election of Mr. Cameron to the United States Senate in IS9I, and is not Mr.. Cameron a mill ionaire many times over? And may not Mr. Quay be contemplating the election of Mr. Cameron to still another term? • Mr. Quay gives utterance to the start ling intelligence that, the 1 nited States Senate contains business men enough to serve all legitimate purposes. There is a popular impression abroad that this is not so. Mr. Quay certainly is not a business man, as, since his election as prothono tary of Beaver county in 1854, he has held political office almost continuously. "Mr. (Juav's bourgeoisie and men in blouses will be surprised to learn that the Quay residence is one of the finest mansions in Washington, costing equip ped not less than SIOO,OOO, and that he owns one of the finest places in Beaver, a farm in Lancaster county, a farm in Chester county and the fiuest place in St Lucie Fla., where the distin guished Senator spends much of his time in sport and recreation._ ''Mr "'.wv's laU e r <]?)>:. fil TIIC cvTls or money Tn poiiucs wuum uc rather more -edifying were it only a little less ludicrous. In his battle for the State chairmanship in 1895 he enunciat ed his new doctrine: We decry the growing use of money in politics; yet within 60 (lays of the termination of that contest he told Senator Flinn, of Alle gheny county that that very campaign cost him $200,000. Rather a neat sum for a representative of the bourgeoisie and the men in blouses to spend in a two months contest over a State chairman ship. "It is true that the business men have contributed largely to campaign funds, and in this State never more liberally than for the list campaign, but with the assurance from Mr. Ilanna that their money would be spent legitimately and not used for corrupt purposes, anil that the books of the National committee would be open for inspection of all con tributors. No one should be in better position than Mr. Quay to know whether these ■contributions were used in previous campaigns to make politics sordid and corrupt, and if he has such knowledge it is his duty to give Ihe matter to the pub lic, so tliat the business men in future j lie warned against contributing to a national campaign. "During the late campaign, about two weeks before the election, State Chair man Elkins sent out the following letter to a number of candidates for the State Senate and House enclosing checks for SSOO and 250 respectively: By request of Senator Quay, I take pleasure in en closing contribution to help defray your campaign expenses. While not criticis ing the rendering of legitimate aid, fi ancial or otherwise to any candidate for office, how does Senator Quay's conduct in this matter comport with his vehe ment denunciations of the growing use of money in politic.-*? Said Mr. Lincoln: Some of the people can be fooled all the time; all of the people can be fooled some of the time, but all the people can not be fooled all the time. Mr. Quay has fooled some of the people at times, and all of theni at other times, but he has reached a i joint where, with his mask thrown off, he faces an intelligent public with whom forbearance has ceas ed to be a virtue. Without declaring any warfare against him, they propose that he shall not dictate the selection of his own colleague, and thus have two votes instead of one in the United States Senate. "The National League of Business Men is the outgrowth of the McKinley and llobart Business Men's National Campaign committee, which rendered efficient service during the late Presi dential campaign. Our purpose ii to up hold President McKinley's adminis tration and to prepare for 1900. One of our declared objects is to promote the election of members of the National Legislature in the Senate and House of Representatives who are in sympathy with this movement and who will dis tinctly represent the business interests of the country. "In furtherance of this object the com mittee has chosen to indorse a represen tative business man—one who has had large experience in public affairs—for the I'nited States Senatorship in succes sion to Senator Cameron. Branch leagues are being established daily throughout the Commonwealth. Nearly all the principal towns and boroughs wi'l be orpani/ed by the lirst of the year, and then the work will be extended to the townships. "By business men we mean every man who is desirous_of the material welfare of the country and the conduct of the government npon business principles. We distinctly stated in our declaration of principles that, in our estimation, the term business men comprises the farmer merchant, laliorer, manufacturer, pro fessional men or mechanic; in short we consider every man who makes it his business to earn an honest living a busi ness man. Among our members are thousands of storekeepers, farmers and artisans, "The organization of the new league has indeed taken 011 the nature of an uprising of the people. They are de manding to l>e heard, and to have proper recognition, and no hysterical outburst can stay the tide. Canute's protest to the waves of the sea and the Pope's bull against the comet were not less futile 111 their purpose than is Mr. Quay's attack upon the business men of Pennsylvania. "In striking contrast to Mr. Quay's attitude toward the National League of fi'-isiness Men is that of National Chair man llanna, who indorses this move- ment in support of sound money and good government, and President elect McKinley places hi uself on record in the following letter .vhich was received on the very morning of Mr. Quay s def amation of the business men of the coun " Canton 0., Dec. 7. Rudolph Rlankenburg, Chairman Execu tive Committee, National League ot Business Men, Philadelphia: My Dear Sir:—l have your favor of the 24th ult., inclosing declaration ot principles of the National League o Business Men. The announced purposes of the league are such as appeal. U Uie tention of the league to continue its ac tive work. Very Truly \ ours, WILLIAM MCKINLEY, With such support, and conscious of the justice of their cause, the National League of Business Men intend to con tinue the battle, and are not fearful of the re-ult By a blunder in Smull's Handbook, which has run through the publication for a number of years, many were led to suppi se that the'electoral college of this State should have met the first Wed. of December. This was the time fixed by an act of Congress passed in 1792, but an act more recently passed makes the time of meeting the second Monday of Janu ary, so that it will be several weeks yet before the job of electing McKinley and Hobart has been completed. Tne Poor Mar.'s Friend. Louisville Times. Mr. Matthew Stanley Quay, the most thorough machine politician who e\er reached a seat in the United States Sen ate, is assiduously endeavoring to sprink le salt upon the tail of the masses. Quay has alyays been a boodler, has al ways ruled Pennsylvania by the strength of his machine, has always had the pow er of wealth behind him. yet his words are as sweet as honey. Quay, the poor mans friend; the devil must be sick or he wouldent don the cowl. Strong Resolutions. At a meeting of tbe Business Men s League of Pottsville, Pennsylvania, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted. , Resolved, that in the interests of honett politics and good business methods and to the end that "this Government of the peo ple for and b> the people shall not perish from the earth," we do hereby pledge onr selves to aid, by ev«ry honorable means, the lion. John Wauaiuaker to attain the seat in tbe United States Senate now oc copied l>y tlie Hon. J. Donald Cameron, believing that in tho present political ex igency he is the best representative man to aid in restoring business confidence, aud to sustain Wni. McKinley, President elect, to carry out the political pledges made at tbe last election Resolved, That in Hon. John Wanama k er, we have the exponent of all that is honorable in politics, honest in business and patriotic in sentimeDt. and that in him tho State will have a mouthpiece, whose words nationally promulgated will lie lis teued to with attention aud whose busi ness experience will be of the utmost value to the business world, and through it tn the great world of labor, which is the wealth of tho nation. Resolved, That his election will meet with more general approbation than that ol any other whose name has yet been of lered in connection with tbe position and that his past record is a correct guarantee for the future. Resolved, That we ("« be hereby earn estly request, in the inieiests of all, without regard to politic*, our Senatorial and Representative delegates iu Legisla ture to Use all fai means to secure lh<- aelection of Hon. John Wanamaker, he beirg hi< own ••boss" and smendable to nouti save the people whose conscientious servatur be will be without regard to other influences save what in his judgment is right in the interest, not of the few, but of the rn&ny. Resolved, That his succ ess as a business man, bis record as a man of integrity an<'. honesty ot purpose ar.«eriin-d to them. The contest for United States senator to sacced Hon. J. Donald Cameron is growing quite interesting in many sec tions of the state. In numerous counties business men's leagues have been formed to promote the election of Hon. John Wanamaker, of Philadelphia, Mr. Wan amaker is eminently a business man, "but he is not without official experience. He was P. M. General utider President Har rison and applied business rules in that department, greatly increasing the use fulness of the service. We must have leaders in political or party organizations but we do not need bosses. Mr. Wana maker is a model Christian gentleman and his election would tend greatly to breaking up the imperiobs rule of the lat ter and give Pennsylvania a represantative 111 the United States senate worthy of the great commonwealth. His election would also lie in the line of purer poli tics. —Washington Pa. Reporter. HARRISYILLE.

A PEEMANENT OEGANIZATION. Great Interest Belog Minlfeitod by the People, Who Recognlie the League w the Medium Through Which Their In fluence Will be Reflected. Philadelphia, Dec. 15. —The growth oi the national Lieagnc m Bummm Men sur passes that of any public movemant in the history of the state. The people are thor aughly awake to its importance. Even those who are promoting it never dared to think that it would assume so much force in so brief a time. They planned for a permanent organization, the completion of which might extend far into the com ing year, but from the manner in which the movement has been taken up, i* will not be very long now before nearly all the important towns will be represented. New branches are being formed almost every day. During the week the league has im planted itself in Avondale, Coatesville, Reading, Allentown, Bedford. Bradford, Wilkesbarro, Smithport, Kennett Square. Pottsville, Warren, Muncy and the Ches ter League, which Includes a number of smaller towns, has also been organized. The people are aroused to the impor tance of the movement. It is indeed a popular uprising. They see in its prin ciples the practical application of the theory so often expounded that political affairs should be conducted on a business basis. To President-elect McKinley should be given the credit for the organization that is assuming such sway. It is his sug gestion. He is called upon to make a busi ness administration and he replies by a demand for the advice and assistance ol the business men, and the only proper manner in which business men can ex press their opinions and lend their assist ance is by organization. It is this that gives every man a voice. These branch organizations include in their membership not only the men ac tively engaged in business, but those who believe in business methods. It is a fact that it has been said that every man who will subscribe to the principles of the league will be welcomed to membership, and this invitation is being so readily ac cepted that the success, the force and the influence of the new movement are as sured. The merchants throughout the country districts, as well as in the cities, have at last the opportunity to make the impress upon public affairs that will re flect their power in their respective com munities. Without such men the league would fall of its purpose. The discretion, the public knowledge and the wide in formation of such people as these make them indispensible. They are the bono and sinew of the new movement. Each one is an important factor in making tho leagtie what it aims to be and what tho president-elect desires it to be. For our thing stands out In bold evidence, and that is the incoming president is pledged to a business administration, and he has said the business men must lead. He has said that he could not conscientiously expect the business men to contribute their time, effort and money to gain a vic tory for business methods and sound finances without the assurance of their having a strong influence in directing af fairs to make these results practical. This Is saying, as strongly as a man in his po sition could be expected to say it, that he will rely upon the organized business men for advice and assistance in selecting his appointments and in all other Important details. The Senatorial Contest. The course pursued by the league in the senatorial contest is only an incident. It has indorsed the Hon. John Wanamaker because ho is the man who represents the principles of the organization, but it has a career before It that extonds far beyond the selection of tho United .States senator. The indorsement of ex-Postmaster Gen eral Wanamaker is in harmony with the geueral object of tho leaguo, which was formed after the great campaign for busi ness principles was won. Now the fruits of the victory are to be secured. The tri umph of right and reason is to be pre served In practical results. The vigilance and effort which gained the battle must its advantages. The league is extending Its permanent organization, as it did the campaign organization, and it aims at the broad application of business principles and ideas in public affairs. It proposes to address itself to practical and immediate questions as they come along, and it seeks to formulato plans and actions In which business men, meaning all who bolleve in business methods, can stand together. ! And they will stand together. They are thoroughly aroused. Their only opponents are the politicians, who are even now parceling out the offices, and who do not like to be disturbed in their pleasajit occu pation. But they cannot defy the will of the peox>le, and this is the people's fight; not for today or tomorrow, but at least during the administration of President McKinley, and certainly as long as the business men will apply themselves to the cause they have taken up WANAMAKER THEIR CHOICE. Ilrancli of the ItmlnfM Men's I.eague Organized at Bradford. BRADFORD, Dec. 15. —The business men here havo organized a branch of the Na tional League of Business Men Tho fol lowing resolutions were adopted: "Resolved, That the suggestion of Hon.
