Barriiburc. April M. Everywhere,
that ex-Postmaster General Wanama
ker goes ha la greeted with crowda and
attentive audiences. Hla progreaa dur
ing ths past week has been an oration.
Everywhere that he has spoken he hat
dealt sledge hammer blows at corrup
tion and oosslsm. And the point of it
all la that' he presents facts .to em
phasise everything he says.
The enemies of Mr. Wanamaker the
Andjrews-Quar crowd have assailed
him personally and politically, and es
pecially upon what they term his "la
bor record." Mr. Wanamaker has per
mitted this to go. unnoticed until last
Wednesday night, when, at Athens,
Fa., he replied to his traducers In the
most energetic and convincing way.
He denounced as unmitlgatlng false
hoods all the stories that have been
told about his so-called "labor record,"
and revealed some facts concerning
himself and his firm that are of the
ereatest 'interest.
Mr. Wanamaker1 prefaced his speech
that evening by reading newspaper
clippings attacking him. He then said:
"Clippings of newspapers like these I
have Just read have been sent out from
Philadelphia to the country newipa
pen by the Andrews-Quay manage
ment endeavoring to poison the work-
Ingmen of the state against me by all
effort to make It appear that I had im
ported foreign workmen, who take th
place of American laborers. To prove
this charge a single case In nearly 40
years Is cited where my business house,
composed of John Wanamaker, Robert
C. Ogden, T. B. Wanamaker and Rod
man Wanamaker, doing business un
der the name of 'John Wanamaker,
was lined for employing a man contra
ry to law,
"Let me say that I was never charged
personally of even so much as trying
to evade any labor or Importation law.
The case on which the firm of Jofen
Wanamaker was fined was during my
absence in Europe. No papers were
ver served upon me. I was not a wit
ness In the ease; In fact, I had no
knowledgeof the latter until long after
it was over. I would dismiss this mat
ter here If It was not so apparent that
the Andrews-Quay candidate for gov
ernor, who dare not face you upon the
real Issues of this campaign, which are
j( broken promises, unequal taxation
machine corruption and legislative de
bauchery and dishonor, proposes to
raise this Irrelevant and false and mis
leading Question to divert your atten
tion from vital issues, and because
wish to embrace this opportunity to
-emphasise the position that I have con
sistently maintained on, the question of
immigration for 15 years.
THE ALIEN LABOR CASE,
"The case In question hinged on two
points. First, did the head of a ue-
partment make a contract with a for
eign workman in violation of law?
Second, had he authority from the firm
to employ such workman 7 It Is an In
flexible rule of the firm of John Wan
amaker that no one shall be eirmloved
In any capacity whatsoever except by
the head of the employment depart
ment, and so strict is this rule that I
myself have no authority to employ
any one, and cannot do so except
through that medium.
"The man who Instituted this suit
against the Arm brought a letter of in
traduction and recommendation to one
of our buyers, when In London. The
man asked . many questions about
America, about the chances of secur
ing employment and the possibilities
of advancement. The buyer, an En
gllshman by birth, took an interest In
the man, and persuaded him that no
country afforded such opportunities as
did America. Our buyer told the man
that he, could not guarantee him .em
ployment, but would use his best ef
forts to assist him if he would come to
Philadelphia... Through the Influence of
the London house, which Introduced
the man to our buyer, he loaned him
the money to pay the man's passage.
and upon his arrival In Philadelphia
made good his promise to assist him.
! "Without communicating ' the pecu
liar clrcumstncea to our firm our buyer
on his return from his visit to Europe
instructed the man to apply for em
ployment In the regular way.. .The ap
plicant was given the same examina
tion that all others are given, and an
swered every question satisfactorily.

man, hut was really an instructor In a
new Held of work, secured for the edu
cation and betterment of every man
employed In our silk department.
FIRM'S PROUD RECORD.
"This is the only case where we have
been fined for violating the labor law
in 40 years. Upon the payroll of our
firm are nearly 8,000 people, whose
wages range annually from $20,000 each
to the boys at $250. We have employed
in the past 30 years more than 100,000
persons, and have never had a strike
nor a threatened strike. We are never
obliged to seek workmen, but only to
choose from the 5,000 people who apply
to our employment department for
work every 30 days. It would be ab
surd to go abroad to hire salesmen
when dozens apply dally who are ac
quainted with Philadelphia, with the
manners and customs of the people,
and who are, therefore, the most suc
cessful salesmen and saleswomen.
"Though we sell goods made In al
most every country on the globe we
have never found It necessary to em
ploy any but English speaking peo
ple. Our "house has for years main
tained a pension roll for aged and wor
thy employes; a system of weekly ben
efits, absolutely controlled by the em
ployes themselves, to be paid In case
of sickness or death, has paid more
than $100,060. Employes are allowed a
discount; reducing the price of goods
to cost. Length of service Is rewarded
by Increase of salary, other things be
ing equal. No young children are em
ployed in any service In the house.
Salesmen and others at times are al
lowed dividends In addition to their
salaries.
"A man or woman's nativity or creed
are not made conditions for employ
ment by our establishment, but only
Intelligence, Integrity and capability.
A free school had been kept up for
years among the younger employes to
give them a commercial education.
AN AMUSING FALSEHOOD.
"That employes are searched before
leaving the store is an amusing and
desperate falsehood, and that they are
compelled to patronize the house or Its
restaurant Is another and ridiculous
falsehood. I believe we pay the high
est average wages paid by any large
mercantile house In America, and for
36 years, slnoe our business began, we
have not defaulted an Instant in the
wages of our employes.
"And I want to repeat what I have
said many times before. The employ
ment system and wage schedule of our
store are now and have always been
open for Investigation; we have always
accorded Individuals who are Interest
ed In labor questions, and especially
committees representing worklngmen's
organisations, the fullest privileges and
facilities to examine into our methods.
"I would not dignify this charge with
denial but for fear some well meaning
penons may be misled. It Is so rldlc-
ulous. It would be as reasonable to
ay that Senator Quay was guilty of
murder, because a careless motorman
on his street railway killed a passen-
ger, or that .the president of the Stand
ard Oil company, or a stockholder In
the Pennsylvania Railroad . company
waa responsible . for the misdeeds of
Senator Andrews, because he happen
ed to be in the employ of those corpora
tions. This If not a campaign of per
sonalities. I have no. personal quarrel
with Senator Quay or slated candidates
of the machine. It Is a battle against
system, and If tonight I find it neces
sary to use personal names,) It Is be
cause names best designate the sy s
tema they an responsible for and con.

"I want to be Just to Senator Quay
and give him all the credit due him.
He did read in the United States senate
part of a large tariff speech that wa.-i
prepared for him In Philadelphia. He
threatened to read more, which forced
a compromise. IJroken pledges to all
except the corporations mark his po
litical pathway, yet he still finds ways
to favor corporations and to fool the
worklngmen.
"This year he Is trying a new scheme.
He. thinks he can win your votes for his

Immigration bill, a copy of which I
hold in my hand. It Is as honest as
any claim they make, although as a
matter of fact, his slated candidate Is
the author of only the enacting clause,
consisting of 19 words, whllo the bill, I
am reliably Informed, belongs to Sena
tor Lodge, of Massachusetts."
At Royersford on Friday night last,
Mr. Wanamaker held up the record of
William A. Stone to a great audience.
He showed how false had been William
A. Stone to his constituents In the
past; how he had broken his sacred
word In promising to vote for McKln
ley and then voting for Quay. It was
a most startling and scathing arraign
ment of William A. Stone. Mr. Wana
maker saldf " '
MR. STONE AS A DELEGATE
"The Republican voters of Allegheny
were almost a untt for McKlnley, and
the known relations existing between
Mr. Stone and Senator Quay, who was
also a candidate for the presidency,
were such as to arouse a storm of op
position to Mr. Stone. To save him
self from defeat Mr. Stone, together
with his Quay colleague, signed am
forwarded to the Republican county
chairman of Allegheny county, and
caused the same to be published In the
Allegheny county papers, the following,
pledge, bearing date of March 25, 1896:
'We pledge that we will honorably
and fully represent and vote In accord
ance with the will and preference, for
president, of a plurality of the Republi
can voters -of the congressional dis
trict within which we are candldutes
for delegates, whenever expressed by
a plurality of those voting a prefer
ence at a primary election held pre
vious to the meeting of the national
convention, In which we are delegates,
after due notice has been given tv
the chairman Of the county commit
tee that they will have an opportunity
In said primaries to express such pref
erence. (Signed) 'ROBERT M'AFEE.
W. A. STONE.
"The publication of Mr. Stone's
pledge 'to vote In accordance with the
will and preference of a plurality of the
Republicans in his congressional dis
trict, as expressed at the primaries,'
relieved him of all opposition and he
Wa, chosen a national delegate and In-
Btrueted by an overwhelming majority
of tno vote8 cagt support William
McKlnley. " But In the face of his
pledge and the blndlng instructions he
had received for McKlnley he voted for
Senator Quay; and I am Informed by
a close friend o Mr. Stone that his
moral obligation - did not trouble him
In the' least, but so anxious was he to
know what effect It would have upon
his political future, If he disobeyed In
structions, that he went about asking
the Judgement of other delegates.
THE MENACE TO TAXPAYERS.
"If Colonel Stone made a solemn
pledge In. '96 upon a most vital ques
tion and defiantly broke It to please his
master, on a question purely of senti
ment, as his vote could do 'Mr, Quay no
