Even if the candidates were not what ! they are it should be remembered that ! they represent a party that haa brought j | so much prosperity to us, and one | which has exceedingly grave issues to dispose of.

"If 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 ihat Presi dent McKinley should be elected next year. His recprd of the past three , years entitles hfm to a re-election; the future prosperity of the country de mands it.

I | 1 WHAT A BIG VOTE FOB HE DEMOCRACY IN PENNSYLVANIA IN NOVEHBER MEANS From Pennsylvania's Democratic or ganization, through the state conven tion held at llarrisburg on June 11, 1899, came the first official declaration • in favor of William Jennings Bryan ! that was given in the present move- i ment to make Bryan the Democratic nominee for president in 1900. The democratic machines of lowa, Nebras- , ka. Kentucky and other states have since fallen into line and already the opening guns are being tired in the ; skirmish ins; throughout the country for next year's great 'battle between McKinley and Bryan. \Vitile those Democrats favoring a state issue cam paign in Pennsylvania this year fought vigorously to keep Bryan's mure out of the state platform, the siiverites I had control of the party organisation, ft j - >.y I mp fp j ■4 •• /) wii.t.iam .i. r.rr.w::. . ■' ! and they were determined to place on j record their loyalty atitl devotion to | their Nebraska champion.

K. .TONES, Chairman Democratic National Com j mittee. j Pennsylvania Republicans Will Give a Big Majority This Fall. I SO SAYS CONGRESSMAN GRAHAM. All Want to Place th« State on Record For MclCinley's Administration and Give Bryanism a Body Blow. Congressman William H. Graham, of Allegheny, who succeeded Governor William A. Stone in the house of rep resentatives, says a special from Pitts burg. has returned from n visit to Washington, where he met the presi dent and members of his cabinet on official business. Congressman Graham says he was surprised at the keen in terest taken in the campaign In Penn sylvania this fall by the McKinley administration. While naturally the contest in Ohio, the president's own state, was looked upon as of the first importance, there could be no mistak ing the desire at Washington for a great Republican majority In the Key ! stone state in November. The presi dent lias manifested an unusual inter ! est in the candidacy of Lieutenant Col li cnel James E. Barnett, whom he so ; cordially greeted at Pittsburg, upon his j return with the Tenth Pennsylvania regiment from the Philippines, and no ' ; doubt believes that with such an excel : lent standard bearer for state treas ; urer the Republicans of the Keystone ; State will roll up an immense vote this ! fall. j FHNNSYLVANIANS FOR M'KINLEY "1 have bad occasion to travel over Pennsylvania recently," remarked | Congressman Graham, "and in all my 1 ' CONGRESSMAN W. H. GRAHAM, experience 1 have never found such unanimity of sentiment favorable to an administration. President McKinley, by his wise administration of affairs, I has won thousands of new voters, and lon every hand 1 heard expressions of gratification at his able handling of the government. There are some an ti-expansionists in Pennsylvania, but they exert little influence. Our people understand the conditions that con front the country, and mark my word, will give the president such an indorse ment at the polls as to leave no doubt of their loyalty and patriotism. "The anti-expansionists have really done President McKinley a good turn by their calumniations, l'or they have aroused the sentiment of the people , and made an issue thai will be settled in the presidential election next year, and settled rightly, as every question involving American dignity and honor has always been settled when submit ted to the voters. TEST VOTE THIS FALL. "The vote in the stste contests this fall will show how the people feel toward the McKinley administration. In Pennsylvania the Democrats, by bringing Bryan to the front in their [ state platform, made the issue. Their . second thought of running a state ! issue campaign will not. c hange the result. Pennsylvania Republicans, by | standing solidly by their party this fall, will lead off for McKinley's re election and give Bryan his first blow In his second presidential contest." WHY BUSINESS IS BOOMING. The Situation as Viewed by a Prominent Agriculturist. Tennsylvaniaus Muat Roll Up a Big Re publican Majority and Lead in the Canvass For McKinley's 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 and to form his own opin ions from well established facts, fre quently has a knack of expressing him self in a manner that leaves no room 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, and 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 professes to believe. "In 1892 '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, a flic that had been busy began to !: I away. Foreign goods began to r In upon our shores; labor began :n le li'.io in our streets; building be ■ • \ suspend construction: money. .. had been abundant, began to ' <> v scarce; mines and furnaces be \ .i to close out their business; prices an to drop; soup houses began to i -e and tramps thronged the higli j ays; capital grew timid; lenders at home and abroad called for their cash: the sheriff's sales were posted upo.i 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 togo out into the mar kets of the world and borrow money at exorbitant cost, to the extent of J262,- 000,000, in time of peace, to meet the expenses of the state. Four long years of this experiment, 'tariff for revenue only,' continued, when again, in 189ti, the parties came up before the people for their judgment. THE 16 TO 1 ISSUE. "The Democratic party, knowin, 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 1892, and they called it 'l6 to I.' j The 'free coinage of silver' was the 1 Democratic war cry, and the Republi ' cans stood, as of old, for 'sound money and the protection of American Indus try.' The Republicans took up as their candidate and leader that noble representative protectionist. William , McKinley, the author of the tariff act of 1890, and the Democrats appropri ated a man up to that time compare- j , tively unknown, but whose record as | | a believer in the free coinage of silver, | 'l6 to I.' was open and pronounced. ' "The Democrats contended that the Ills which had been endured during the four years of their rdminst ration, and which could not be disguised, were due to the unsatisfactory condi tion of the currency of the country, bnd proclaimed that if there could bo the free and unlimited coinage of sil ver, 'IG to I.' our troubles would bo at an 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 was fought out on this issue as no previous battle had ever before been fought. Foreign nations, as spectators of the conflict, predicted as a result the overthrow of the financial system of the country, and perhaps the ulti mate destruction of the republic, and many conservative, thoughtful citizens at home were seriously questioning whether a free people, made up of such diverse elements as composed the American nation, could govern them selves. "When, however, the election day came, the Republicans had clearly shown that the injury to the business of the country and our other indus trial ills were not due to the money question at all, but that the tariff poli cy of the Democratic party was the cause of all of our disturbances in business, and promised that if the Re publican idea that a 'tariff for the pro tection of American industry' were re instated prosperity would return and business resume its beneficent sway all over the land. M'KINLEY AND PROSPERITY. "Major McKinley was elected; no change has been made in the financial system; no other part of our business has been seriously modified; all is left substatially as before, except two things; One is that the 'tariff for reve nue only" has been 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 putin of fice to carry the law into effect. "What is the result? Listen to these clippings, all taken from Demo cratic papers in a single day of the current month. "Here is what the Philadelphia Rec ord says: 'The outturn of pig iron in July was greater than in any other July since iron was first made in the United States, but the demand is so brisk that buyers complain of a pig iron famine. Hut for the fact that the markets of all the rest of the world are in practically the same condition of under supply the boom In prices might be esteemed close to the point of collapse, but the condition of the industry gives no sign of weakness.' STEEL FOR INDIA. "Here is another from the Harrls 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 Contrary to former announcemcF; 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 butone-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 were heavier, and as high as 20 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 Wili Sail Today for Russia With Forty of Them.' 'The British steam ship Puritan will clear today for China and Siberia with the largest cargo of railway material that has ever gono from any port in the United States. Her destination is Vladivostock 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 Vladivostock, afterward returning to 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 1592 to 1890 could such ar ticles as iliese have been clipped? If you were to search all the files of all the papers. Democratic, Republican, Populist, Prohibition and insurgent, printed in that time, where could such statements as these bo 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 nix months to a year ahead. WHAT CAUSED THE CHANOE. "Who did all this? Well, it was not the Democratic party. What did all this? Well, it was not 'lO to I,' or thti 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 : was at its lowest ebb, the per capita of money in this country was $36.39, ! In 1899. on the Ist day of August, it ; was $33.01, or $2.38 less than it was in 1894. The amount In 1894 In circula tion was $24.28, and on the Ist of Au gust, 1899, it was $25.31. or only $1.03 more than it was in 1894. I- ■ -
