AND TEE PARTY
What Republicanism Has Done For
the Cause of Education.
THE DEMOCRATS NEVER LIBERAL
Official Figure Which Prove That tht
Republican Party Has Mad th
Public School of Pennsylvania the
' Finest In the Land Statement of
What Each County Receive.
Every parent In the state Is Interest
ed directly or indirectly In t.e public
schools. In this connection the fact
should not be overlooked that the Re
publican party has, by its liberal policy
made the public schools of the state
what they .are the greatest in the na
tion. . It has made liberal provision for the
education and training of teachers in
the state normal schools. The mini
mum school term has been wisely in
creased by legislation and provision
lias been raaue for establishing schools
Cf higher grade in the townships.
. The party has never faltered in Its
uevotlon to the interests of the com
monwealth in legislating for the bene
fit of the children in the public schools.
Its policy has been earnest, fearless
and progressive in opposition to a con
servatism which is productive of ig
norance and illiteracy wherever it Is
permitted to assert Itself unrestrained
by the helpful influence of good public
schools.
The achievements of the past, in the
state and nation, are a safe index to
tho future under the wise and vigilant
control of the Republican party.
, WHAT THE DEMOCRATS DID.
' The highest amount ever appropri
ated by the Democratic party for the
niihittf nrhools of Pensylvanla was
S2S0.000 per annum from 1S57 to 1860,
Compare this with the splendid show
ing of the Republican party,
In 1870 there was appropriated for
educational purposes by the legislature
of Pennsylvania the sum of laOO.000;
In 1872 this amount was Increased to
S700.000. This was the largest amount
appropriated in support of pop
ular education prior to the adoption of
the new constitution. The framers of
pur fundamental law provided that the
tmlnimum amount to be appropriated
annually to the support of the common
.schools shouid be $1,000,000. From
1874 to 1SS7, inclusive, the minimum
amount named in the new constitution
waa the maximum of legislative gen
meitr Tne entire amount appropri
ated for -all educational purposes dur
ing this period of thirteen- years "was
116.599,000. In 1S87 the annual appro
Briation was increased to $1,500,000.
In another half million was added
making the annual appropriation at
that time $2,000,000. In 1S31 the
amount appropriated was swelled to
the princely sum of $3,000,000 annually,
In 1S93 another half million dollars
was added, making the appropriation
43,500,t.'0 annua. iv. 'li.is does cot in
elude the appropriations made for tne
support of the Orphans' schools, the
county superintendants, department of
public instruction, or ail of those mada
in thP iKk-mal schools. Adding the
amounts appropriated for these rur
poses to the appropriations made for
common schools proper, the aggregate
is the magnificent sum of $6,000,000 in
round numbers. This is a monument
of me wue and beneficent leadership
of the Republican party in Pennsyl
rania.
A WONDERFUL SHOWING.

opportunity of seeing what the Re
publican party of our state has done

tlC.59t.OOa. From 1SS0 to 189X, Inclu
sive, there was appropriated la rap
port of th cause of popular edaeatlon
I62.T75.0O0. The entire amount con
tributed by the state for educational
purposes since 1835 Is $91,061,968. It
Will thus be seen that In the twelve
years since 1S90, more money has been
expended by the state In support of
common schools than In all the years
from 1835 to 1890. In other words,
nearly sixty-nine per cent of the entire
amount of money appropriated for
school purposes by the state since 1835
has been appropriated in the last
twelve years, when the Republican
party of this state and the policy of its
leaders have been most severely criticised.
MONEY PAID THIS TEAR.
The reports of the auditor general
and state treasurer show that the net
revenue available for general appropri
ation purposes is In round numbers
$15,000,000 annually. Of this sum, $6,
000,000 Is appropriated each year for
public schools.
Will any fair-minded person seri
ously contend that the state should
appropriate more than forty-eight per
cent of Its net revenues for educational
purposes? We now appropriate more
money than any other state in the
Union; all ot which is to the credit ot
the Republican party.
The following is the official state

pays this year in school money to each

STRONG FOR PENNYPACKER
Distinguished Educator Declares In Fa
vor of the Republican Candidate.
The following letter appeared in a
recent issue of the Huntington Globe:
Our townsman, Dr. M. O. Brum
baugh, former commissioner of edu
cation of Porto Rico, and now at the
head of the department of pedagogy in
the University of Pennsylvania, writes
ns as follows:
Philadelphia, Oct 7. 1902.
My Dear Mr. Butx: A number ot my
home friends have asked me about the
candidacy of Judge Pennypacker
whether or not he is a really good man
and capable of administering the high
office of governor ably and well. To
all such I wish to say that I have
known Judge Pennypacker for many
years. He is perhaps the ablest schol
ar of Pennsylvania history we have,
and his writings aro invaluable. He
is, as we all know, one of the ablest
jurists in the commonwealth. He is
a kind-hearted, clear-headed, business
like man, whose entire career is a
great honor to him and the state. .He
possesses rare executive ability and is
as resolute for the right as any man
I know. He will make a most excel
lent governor, one who will at all
times guard the welfare ot the common
people, whom he loves and with whom
he loves to associate. He is absolutely
lndependant of all bias in his thinking
and will treat all persons with Justice
and equal fairness. In short I love
him and feel confident he will make a
great governor.
To all my friends, I give him unquali
fied endorsement. I hope every one
will go to the polls and vote for him.
He is the type ot man our public life
needs. We are fortunate to have him
as a candidate. We will be more than
fortunate if we elect htm governor by
an overwhelming majority.
National Issues of great moment are
involved in this election and I trust
every loyal citizen who is concerned for
the welfare ot 10,000,000 souls new un
der our flag in the islands of the sea
will see that our present wise Insular
policy is emphatically endorsed and a
Republican congress assured.
Yours very respectfully
M. O. BRUMBAUGH.

6enator Brown On Company 8 to res.
Senator W. M. Brown, candidate for
lieutenant governor, Is - opposed to
company stores. On the discussion of
a bill introduced by Senator Brown, in
the session of 1899, in reference to in
corporating certain corporations, he de
clared his position regarding company
stores. Among other things Senator
Brown said: "I will go as far as any
one else to vote to properly restrain
any corporation that undertakes to mil
itate against the people. I
would be willing that the bill be recon
sidered for the purpose of inserting an
amendment excluding from the pro
visions of the act any store run by a-
company; that is, I mean, by a coal
company."
Tho hill hnd for its obiect the incor-
14,795 42 j,oraton 0f retail stores. To the ob-
, Jections that were made, Senator
83.672 29 Br0wn, amng other things, said: "We
29,926 82 are perTnitting today large, powerful
10,1 1 8 B' , corporations of this commonwealth to

you will have to extend the power of
the people over these corporations. I
want to say to you that when that time
does come it will not be to protect the
people against such corporations as are
embodied In and founded upon this bill,
but upon the corporations that are in
existence today, with twenty-five or
thirty millions of capital, strangling
the people as they do."

Willing to be Judged.
The Republican party in Pennsylya
nla in point of policy and performance
and devotion to the Interests of the
great masses of the people, has ever
been read? to meet the Democracy and
Below we ltg misrepresentations upon any basis.
This is pre-eminently true regarding
the history of Republicanism in Penn
sylvania. . It is well at this time to dwell upon
. the achievements of the Republican
nartv as exemplified In Pennsylvania.
Appro- We were t0i,j more tnan two thousand
years ago that men snouia M juageu
by their fruits. The Republican party
and its splendid achievements can
stand the supreme test of comparison
with the Democratic party and ita
failures for the past forty years. There
is not a patriotic Republican today, In
state or nation, who Is not willing to
have his party measured by this standard.
As to Union Labels.
It was a Republican legislature In
Pennsylvania that passed this Inw.vli:
"Every union of worklngmen, having
adopted and registered under the pro
visions of this act any trade mark, la
bel, symbol or private stamp, shall
have, possess and enjoy fuii. complete
and unquestioned power and authority
to name, make, dictate and specify the
conditions and limitations under
which the same may be used by any
person or persons employing the mem
ber or members of said associations or
unions, or manufacturing any article
or articles upon which any such trade
mark, label, symbol or private stamp
may be affixed, or using in any manner
In his or their business the labor syra
bolized by any such trade mark, label,
symbol or private mark, so registered.1
