"Shall tho people rule" —Bryan's main Issue and campaign slogan. A cry tliat is merely the shadow of a clean and vigorously progressive administration reflecting darkness across the minds of fools, has beea taken up by the Herald and made a subject for application to Sullivan county. Does Mr. Streeby pretend to say that the people were enjoying She novelty of ruling when Sullivan county was plunged almost hopeless ly into debt by Democratic Hoards of Commissioners? Was it the j»eo. pie ruling when the taxrateon timber and coal lands owned by corpor ations, were persisently kept at a ridiculously low figure, and the farmers made to stan d the burden of the expenses? Does the Herald pre tend to assume that the people ruled when all these injustices were in flicted upon the poorer class of tax payers? If it does the editor should permit himself togo on exhibition as one of the greatest freaks that ever inhabited earth since the green snake walked on end and beguiled the mother of the living. To think that the Herald should bring such an issue to Sullivan county "Shall the people rule?" after the people have experienced the specimen of ruling given them by the Democratic ring in their days of power in this county is too absurd to be believed. We thought Streeby possessed a higher degree of intelligence, but we humb ly apologize to the world for pre suming so much. He still insists that all the Republican ottice holders are but poor weak servitors to the "machine" and that this dreadful mechanism is incessantly grinding away the manhood of its subjects ami depriving the people of their freedom to rule. How easy it is to make such bare assertions. Hut Streeby where is your proof.' State to your readers if it was the "ma chine" that increased the annual revenue of Sullivan County to by raising the assessment valuation of corporation proporties. By reason of the action of the present County administration the valuation on coal lands, timber lands and tanneries rose to half a million dollars. Each district is therefore provided an in creased revenue for school and roail purposes. If tli is is some of the work the "machine" is turning out, we say, let 'er grind. We can charge the editor of the Herald as a thief and a liar, with as much ease as he makes his accu sation. We could not prove the former and as to the latter we must allow it to stand as a self-evident fact unless be states specifically who the "machine" is, what crime or the perpetration of injustice th" "ma chine" has committed, and also to intelligently define the so called "ma chine.'" In your failure to supply the proof, can we not with truthful ness, Mr. Streeby, say that you have fallen as far below the truth as the Devil is from Heaven and your as sertions are as false as his Satanic Majesty could hope for from one of his subjects having a conscience no larger than a pauper's purse? W. A. (iumble, candidate for County Treasurer, desiies to make the anonncement, that it has been impossible for him to meet every voter within the county as he was unavoidably delayed in getting start ed on his campaign tour. He has been traveling day and night the past two weeks in his desire to meet every voter. Those whom he fails to see should in no way feel that Mr. (Jumble is not appreciative enough for theii support to call on them and solicit the favor. Vote for him and rest assured that you have done a duty wothy of praise. Now that the campaigu is draw ing to an end it is well for the Re publicans to be alert at all times and strive for the success of the ex. cellent candidates on the party tick et. These men were nominated on their merits, and there is not one among them who is unworthy or in capable. On the contrary they are men of ability, fitted by education and experience to serve the people well. The pride of every Republic an should be aroused and his energ ies bent in the direction of doing something for the success of the tick et. There is a strong sentiment here for Win. H. Taft, and predict ions are freely made that he will have a majority in the county. This indicates a strong tend in the right direction, and will be a great ad vantage to the local candidates. Those who vote for Taft and Sher man, in order to be consistent, will vote for a Republican Congressman, in order to add strength.to the ad ministration. The local ticket includes a worthy candidate for the Legislature L. W. Zaner, a man whom the voters of the county should select in order to get the best possible results at Har ris burg. As we have pointed out, minority members we have little in fluence at Harrisburg. Win. A. (lumble for county Treas urer, possesses every qualification es sential to the proper filling of that important office, and is undoubtedly one of the best men ever named for the place, it would be a high honor to the county to elect him- In selecting men like F. C. Peal W. H. Rogers tor County Com missioners the voters selected a strong ticket and should follow it up by calling them to the office. Their merits are well known. Nothing but good can be said of Hawy liotsford and S. C. Wilcox, the candidates for County Auditors. This list of men is strong enough to be a guarantee of satisfaction and of duty well and faithfully perform ed, If the Republican voters do not become over convenient or indiffer ent there will be a pleasing story to tell them in the News Item follow ing the election. We would urge them to be alert from now on until the polls close. All wage-earners, whether at work on the farm, in the store, in mill, in the machine shop, in the mines, or on the railroads, should give [some thought to their own interests and welfare, and if they do they will not for a moment hesitate to most earnestly support ami vote the Republican ticket on the rtrd. of November next. The Republican party, both in the State and nation, has, despite the op position of the Democracy, enacted a great deal ot benefieial legislation for the wage-earner, and stood by his interests. As early as 1,5t58 a Re publican Congress enacted the first eight-hour law that ever was passed and it applied to all artisans and la borers employed by the Government. In 188K a Republican Congress es tablished an eight-hour day for let ter carriers, and in 1892 an act was parsed extending the eight-hour law so us to in elude all persons employ ed by contractors on public works In 1888 the incorporation of trade unions was provided for by a Re publican Congress. The legislation as to safety appliance in use on rail roads engaged in interstate traffic, the inspection of mines, and many other acts tending to protect the la borer and employee and provide greater safety for him in his employ ment, have all been originated and enacted through the agency of the Republican party, and have general ly been opposed by the Democratic party. Let the wage-earner who tie sires to know the truth examine the records and he will find that the Democratic party has always been hostile to bis interests, either active ly or by refusing to legislate in his interests at all. But over aud above all, the Re publican party is the staunch friend of protection to American labor and industry. It protects the wage earner from the pauper wages of European countries, On the other hand the Democratic party, and its present Presidential candidate, are the adrocates of a free trade tariff. But few wage earners have forgot ten their experience under the free trade Gorman and Wilson tariff bill passed by a Democratic Congress in 189.'). Even before the bill was pass ed the tires of industry were smoth ered and mills aud manufactories J were smHten with a blight that made them as silent and ghastly as the City of the Dead. Millions of honestjtoilers were enforced into idle ness, and the cheerful hearthstone of the honest workingman became dark anil cheerless. The pangs of hunger pinched the bright faces and they became the pictures of distress and sadness. The reign of soup houses was inaugurated, and many a stout and honest toiler had to lead his wife and children to the public stall to relieve their hunger and avoid starvation by feeding them on soup doled out by public charity.
