What the Republican Leader in His
Centre Hall Speech.
FEW HINTS TO EX GOV. PATTISON
The Policies of the Republican Party
In State and Nation Outlined —Some
Fact 6 For the"Man With the Hoe."
Great Crowds Listen.
Following is the speech in full of
Judge Pennypacker, delivered at Cen
tre Hall, on the opening of the pres
ent campaign:
"Some time ago I was the president
judge of one of the courts of common
pleas in Philadelphia, but that situa
tion has disappeared, and now I have
no other vocatiou in life than that of
a farmer.
"As the owner of a farm in Mont
gomery county and of another in Ches
ter county, to that extent at least I
may claim to have a community of in
terest with you and a place in this
large assemblage.
"I also appear before you as the
candidate of the Republican party for
the office of governor of this grand
and exceptionally great common
wealth, and 1 know of no class in the
community who are more vitally In
terested in the maintenance and fur
therance of those principles and the
support of that party which has
brought about tho present prosperous
condition of affairs than the owner of
and workers upon the farm.
"The only way to judge of parties
and of men is by their fruits and not
by their promises alone.
"For 60 years prior to 1861 the Dem
ocratic party had control of the affairs
of this state and in the main those of
the country. It was the same state,
with the same glorious early mem
ories, the same wealth which the Lord
had given to it in its deposits of iron,
coal and oil, tho same beautiful
streams and green meadows for the
pasture of cattle which have made
Lancaster county the richest agricul
tural county in America, and the same
industrious and God-fearing people
that we have now anxious and willing
to turn tho soil with labor that they
might be gladdened with the returns
or harvest
DEMOCRATIC DEBT $40,000,000.
"From 1837 to 1842, under the op
eration of the anti tariff legislation of
1833, a cow and a calf sold in the
spring of the year for SB, and corn and
potatoes only brought in the market
12 Yt cents a bushel. In 1857 a railway
company In Philadelphia advertised
for 250 men at 60 cents a day wages,
and there were 5,000 applicants. When
the Democratic party surrendered con
trol of the state in 1861 there was a
stato debt of over $40,000,000.
"To meet the exigencies of that debt
and the necessities of the state gov
ernment taxes were imposed not only
upon farm land and horses and cattle,
but upon all trades and occupations.
The only real disgrace which the his
tory of Pennsylvania discloses was
when, under Democratic management,
in 1843, there was a temporary repu
diation of the stato debt.
"Durng the 40 years In which the
Republican party has conducted our
state affairs that debt has been re
duced at the rate of a million dollars
a year, until at tho present time it
practically no longer exists. The tax
ation of the farmer's land and herds
of cattle for the purposes of tho state
have been brought to an end, and the
revenues necessary for the annual
expenditure have been Imposed upon
the corporations. There aro In the
treasury over $12,000,000.
PATTISON SHOULD ANSWHR.
"The distinguished gentleman who
leads the opposition said in his speech
at Reading the other day that taxation
Is unequal and that a greater propor
tion of the burden ought to be laid
upon personal property. If he means
by that suggestion that a greater bur
den ought to bo Imposed upon horses
and cattle, corn and wheat, it would
be a return to the old order of things,
and not an advance. If he means that
a greater burden ought to be imposed
upon the earnings of corporations, it
Is certain that the principle was dis
covered and applied not by the Demo
cratic but by tho Republican party.
"The reason for the taxation of land
is historical rather than logical. If
yon were to read the Commentaries
of Coke upon Littleton you would find
that the whole law at that time was
devoted to questions arising out of the
ownership of real estate. At the time
of the settlement of Pennsylvania
there were no other investments than
those in land, and even in the days of
our grandfathers an increase in indi
vidual wealth meant an accumulation
of one farm after another and per
chance a mill
The leaders of the Republican party
were the first to get away from the
traditions of tho past and practically
to perceive that the conditions of lifo
had changed The principle adopted
by them ought gradually and wisely to
he extended further, so that the expen
ditures necessary for the maintalnance
Of roads, county improvements a,nd
county expenses should be provided for
not by relieving one class and imposing
the burden upon another, but by a sys
tem under which all property, corporate
as well as individual, should contrib
ute according to its value.
PERIODS OF DEPRESSION.
"The history of the world shows that
every once in a while occurs a period
Itvhcn such a spirit of unrest seizes up
on th« people that they have been will
ing to abandon their homes and thoJt
lands in quest of other and better for
tunes. Time and again there
been great depreciation of the valut
of lands in England and in all othei
countries. Somewhat similar cause?
produced In earlier ages tho inpouring
of races into Europe, the emigration
to and settlement of this country and
the flow of people from New England
to the far West. About 1790 land fej)
very much in value and there were dur
ing the noxt few years extensive emi
grations from Pennsylvania to Canada
to the Genesee county in New "fork
and to the Shenandoah Valley and
Kentucky. During the last twenty
five years we have been going througt
a period in which the conditions were
such that in the East at least the val
ue of farm lands was decreasing, the
amount of farm mortgages were ac
cumulating, and the farmers were un
rewarded for their toil, unhappy and
discontented.
"The general cause of this condition
of things is easily to be seen. The
opening of numerous railroads throdfeh
out the country affording facilities fot
the transportation of grain from
interior to the seaboard, has brought
the Eastern farmer with his higfc
priced lands into competition with the
West, where a rich soil hitherto un
used, and, therefore, productive with
out fertilizers, could be secured for o
nominal consideration. It was a tem
porary condition, and It is rapidly pass-.
Ing away.
"The governmental and railroad
lands of the West are occupied, with
each year they become less productive
and great centers of population like
Chicago, St. Louis and Denver are call
ing upon the territories surrounding
them for food.
THE MAN WITH THE HOE.
"When the world catches up with its
supply of wheat, and tho time is sure
to come, and is not far distant, the
man with the hoe, or if you choose with
tho plow and reaper and binder, will
have his grip on tho situation.
The great revival of business which
began with the return of Mr. Cleveland
to private life, which has given the
manufacturer wealth and his employes
abundant and well paid labor, is now
beginning to affect the farmer. Every
wave which influences for good or ill
financial affairs reaches first the stock
market, then the mills and marts, and
last of all, the farmer, who represents
the most conservative and stable of all
classes in the community. Already
we feel the zephyrs which precede the
blast, already we have the ripple
which is the forerunner of tho great
wave. Within the last two years corn,
oats, horses and cattle have all en
hanced In value, and it is inevitable
that with the increase of the value oi
farm produce, unless we do something
to interfere with existing conditions,
there must be an advance in the value
of farm lands.
"Like every one else the farmer
reaps a benefit from the general pros
perity, but he has a double reason for
being interested in the success of the
Republican cause.
THE REPUBLICAN POLICY.
"It has ever been the policy of tho
Republican party to build up and main
tain the manufactures of the country,
and around every mill for the makinp
of iron, steel, carpet, silk and even
tin, which latter we were told only a
few years ago could not be produced
in this country, are gathered tho
homes of tho laborers and their fam
ily. Since that party came into pow
er tho population has grown more than
In the century before, and all arc con
sumers of beef, corn, wheat and pota
toes. All must live upon what the
farmer has to sell thom. That policy
is now doing even more. The sue
cess which has followed upon it has
developed strength and courage upon
the part of our manufacturers and
merchants, and they are reaching out
in all directions for tho trade of the
world. Everywhere the American
products are being introduced, and not
only the wealth which is created at
homo, but that of farther India is
being poured into our lap.
A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE.
"It means, unless we are unwise
enough to interrupt and interfere with
the tide which is carrying us forward,
that this is In the near future to be a
country of immense wealth, teeming
with happy and prosperous peopie.
The great centres of population which
have arisen along the Thames and
Seine will be dwarfed in comparison
with thoße which will be found along
the Hudson and the Delaware. The
development we have seen within the
last fow years around Pittsburg and
on the Pennsylvania Railroad outside
of Philadelphia, where farm lands
have risen in u brief period from a
hundred to thousands of dollars per
acre In value, is but a manifestation
of what is sure to happen in many
other localities, unless we ourselves
by unwisdom prevent it.
"The Democrats themselves partici
pate In the welfare which everywhere
exists, and are onjoying the benefits
which have resulted from tho adminis
trations of McKinley and Roosevelt.
It is doubtful whether they, unless it
be the few who are only anxious about
the offices, really want a change, and
if they do. they ought in all kindness
to be protected from the consequences
of their want of good Judgment. For
the Republicans of Pennsylvania to
fail would be in the present, as it has
been in the past, the first step in a
career of disaster which would inflict
immeasurable injury upon the whole
American people, Republicans and
Democrats alike."
It will do you more good to acknowl
edge your faults than it will do youi
enemies.—Atchison Globe.

A LETTER FROM
JOHN MITCHELL
Tho Iron Moulders' Union of this
city yesterday received a letter from
John Mitchell,President of the United
Mine Workers'Uuion, returning thanks
for the sum of money donated as the
proceeds of chancing off a stove,a full
account of which was printed in these
columns Monday morning.
The committee appointed by the
Moulders' Union, consisting of David
Rishel, chairman; Michael Tiernoy,
secretary; R. \V. Fetternian, treasur
er; John Richards, John Herrick,
John Jenkins and Joseph Gibson on
Monday forwarded the money raised
—5275.30 to strike headquarters at
Wilkesbarre.
The letter dated September 28, which
was received yesterday, is addressed to
Michael Tiernoy, Secretary, and sign
ed by John Mitchell, who acknow
ledges ilie receipt of the money and
on behalf of the miners returns heart
felt thanks. He assures the moulders
that the money donated will bo used
to relieve some of those in distress.
In conclusion Mr. Mitchell says:
"I regret to say that there appears
to be no immediate prospects of a set
tlement; but with the support of our
follow unionists we feel confident of
our ability to continue the c ontest for
an indefinite period and feel sanguine
that the mine workers will yet secure
a rate of wages sufficiently high to en
able them to maintain themselves and
their families and place them in a
position where they can repay in part
at least the trade unionists who have
so generously assisted them in this,
their iiour of need. "

A DESERTER
FROM U. S. ARMY
A caso at court vej.ierl •■- inv; l\i;i" '
the charge of larceny as bailee was
brought summarily to a close by the
discovery that (lie defendant had the
more serious charge of desertion from
the regular army to answer for.
The case was that of Commonwealth
vs. Elmer C. Halderman who was ar
rested and in default of bail committed
to jail in September 15. Halderman en
listed at Williamsport on April 24,
1901, When lie appeared in Danville
during the past summer our local
police who were aware of his enlist
ment suspected that he had deserted
and they addressed a letter to the Ad
jutant General, War Department,mak
ing inquiries. In reply our Chief ol
Police received a letter from Major
H. A. Greene, Assistant Adjutant
General, who stated that Elmer C.
Halderman was a deserter at large,
having run away from Fort Sam
Houston, Texas, where he was a mem
ber of the 12th U. S. Cavalry.
Halderman pleaded guilty to the
charge on which he was arrested. The
court however upon learning that the
defendant was wanted by the United
States authorities suspended sentence.
In a day or so Halderman will lie tak
en to New York by Officer Yoris and
delivered over into the government's
hands.
Nature has just one pigment on her
pallette with which she produces all the
marvelous tints of beauty, and that one
pigment is the blood. The shell-like
pink beneath the finger nails, the deli
cate rose on the cheek, the cherry ripe
ness of the lips, the irridescent brillance
of the eyes are all produced by the
blood. Just as the periuance of a
beautiful painting will depend upo puri
ty of the colors with which itis painted,
so the permanence of beauty depends
on the parity of the blood. Paint, pow
der and cosmetics won't avail to pre
serve beauty. Beauty begins in the
blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is a true beantifier, because
it provides for natnre that pure blood
with which alone she can paint. The
use of this medicine will cleanse the
skin, heighten the complexion, brighten
the eyes, and give to face and form that
radiance of health which is the greatest
charm of beauty. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets are very effective in ridding the
system of clogging residuum, which ac
cumulates with constipated habit.
A Good Circus.
Welsh Bros, shows drew two fair
sized audiences, despite the inclement
weather yesterday afternoon and even
ing, and better satisfied spectators
never li ft a circus tent. From the
time the grand entry took place until
the close of the performance, the acts
followed each other quickly,and there
was just enough to keep the eyes and
mind busy and not enough to confuse
one, as is the case with the three
ring shows. The performances furn
ished two full hours of solid enjoy
ment, including some of the very best
acts to be seen in any circus. The
trained animals are wonderful. The
clowns are very funny. Best of all
they speak their pieces and do not rely
alone on paiitomine to make good in
the humor line. Welsh Brothers have
enlarged their show to a great extent
and it is their intention to make it
even larger next season. Their per
formances are always clean and in
teresting.
Suspected of Another Murder.
A New York special yesterday says:
Police Captain Schmittbciger, who
commands the precinct in which Mrs.
Annie Pulitzer was murdered,is work
ing on a theory that William Hooper
Young may have been connected with
the murder of Mrs. Kate Fee ley, who
was enticed away and hacked to pieces
October 3, IS'.)!). Mrs. Fee ley lived in
the flat of Mrs. Johanna laicie, 154
West Seventeenth street. A man call
ed at the house and asked her togo
around the corner and attend his sick
wife. She went with him and was
never seen afterward. Parts of a body
supposed to be hers, were found after
ward. Captain Sclunittberger com
manded the precinct where Mrs.
Fee ley lived.

Over=Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, aches and rheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
troubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases
and is sold on its merits £ -v fl TV * |
by all druggists in fifty-KntJ
cent and one-dollar siz
es. You may have
sample bottle by mail Homo of swamp-Root,
free, also pamphlet telling you how to find
out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

WHERE PAIN MOST HURTS.
Eilrriuc SCIIHHI I eness of the Fifth
■»■■<] Denial Serves, •
Which part of the human body is
the most sensitive to pain?
A sharp definition must be drawn
here between irritation and pain. Irri-
Vition is not pain, but only a frequent
cause of it. Thus, a crumb lodged in
the larynx near the vocal cords pro
duced violent irritation and prolonged
coughing, which often results in actual
pain. So, too, a fly or speck of dust in
the eye sets up violent irritation and
inflammation, followed by acute pain.
Of the surface of the body, the finger
tifvs and the end of the tongue are most
sensitive. For instance, a burn on the
fingers is much more painful than one
on the back would lie, while one on the
tongue would be more painful still.
Deep wounds are not painful, as a
rule, save as regards the surface in
jury. Of pains not caused by external
injuries, neuralgia of the fifth nerve,
the one which supplies the skin of the
head and face, is the most intense. It
lias frequently driven people mad for
the time being, and sufferers have been
known to eut and even burn the flesh
in desperate attempts to relieve it. The
rupture of the branches of the dental
nerve in tooth drawing also causes
agony so intense that it has been stated
that no human being could endure it
for more than two seconds at a time. —

A recent traveler on the Niger writes:
"I was anxious to buy some fruit from
a native woman who came down to the
ship, and to this end I produced a
handful of coppers which I had
brought out from England. I first
showed her five, then six, seven and
eight, but she pushed them all aside
in a most unceremonious manner.
More by way of a joke than anything
else, I then produced n three penny
piece, which she at once accepted, giv
ing me in return just twice as much as
I had asked for my eight coppers. I
also discovered that she had a great
partiality for white glass bottles. I
happened to have about half a dozen
empty soda water bottles, for which
she gave mo the same number of eggs.
I afterward found that any white glass
bottle had this purchasing power all
over Nigeria. The natives send them
to Bida, where they are melted and
made Into rings about three or four
Inches In diameter, to be worn either
as armlets or anklets."
The Ilnrk of a DOR.
Strangely enough, barking, which
seems to us so characteristic of the
dog, is not one of its natural sounds at
all. No wild dogs bark, and, what is
more remarkable, if dogs are Isolated
for a long time from their human mas
ters they seem to lose the faculty.
Thus a number of dogs turned loose
on Juan Fernandez Island were found
in thirty-three years to have complete
ly lost the habit, but to be able to re
acquire it. On the other hand, wolf
puppies, as well as young wild dogs,
if reared among tame ones, readily
learn to bark. It almost seems as if
the sound were differentiated from the
howling and yelping natural to the
wild canidie in order to communicate
with man and serve his purpose. It is
worth observing that the habit can be
eliminated when desired, as in some
breeds of dogs favored by poachers.
Historic Trees.
Litchfield, Conn., has more historic
trees than any other town in New Eng
land. Among others are two elms
planted by John O. Calhoun, a syca
more said to be one of the thirteen
planted by Oliver Wolcott, signer of
the Declaration of Independence, and
named after the thirteen original col
onies; an elm which served as a whip
ping post in colonial days, and a wil
low tree which grew from a walking
stick stuck in the ground by Colonel
Talmadge, the American officer who
captured Major Andre, the British spy.

I found that one of my valuable mated
bay horses had been kicked ill the hock
by the other one, some time during the
previous night. I found him in a most
deplorable condition. Him hock was
swollen as tight as the skin would hold.
The joint was three or four times its
normal size. The horse could not liear
a single jtonnd of weight on it.
I applied Mover'S Whitk Liniment
freely to the affected part at once. By
evening the swelling was reduced one
half. I bathed it again and on Thurs
day morning tlx swelling had entirely
disappeared. He could now stand
(irmly on the injured leg again ami by
Thursday night no sign of lameuess

This Friday morning he is working in

The value of such a liniment on the
