YET NO MONEY FOR OUR SCHOOLS Thousands Greet the Ex-Postmaster General in His Tour of the State. He Tells Plain Facts, dnd the Peo- plo Are Waking Up to the True Sit. uation—Wanamaker's Vigorous Are raigument of the Quay Gang. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Harrisburg, April 5.—Everywhere that ex-Postmaster GeneralJohn Wanamak- er speaks in his tour of the state he is greeted by immense crowds. The peo- ple are eager to know the full measure of opprobrium that should be heaped upon the tricksters and ringsters who have held the state by the throat for so long with one hand while. they pil- fered the treasury with the other. The recent failure of the Peonle's bank and of the Guarantors’ company, also the Chestnut Strcet Na- tional bank, have tied up nearly $1,- 000,000 of the peopie’s money, and this fact has aroused indignation all over the state. While it is claimed by state officials that there is not money enough to pay the demands of the public 000,000 of state treasury funds people are the sufferers. Hundreds of peonle gathered at a great public meeting in Montgomery county, at Conshohocken, on Saturday night last to hear Mr. Wanamaker. He dealt with this phase of official crook- edness with unsparing hand. It was a fearless and convincing arraignment of the ‘‘gang.”” In the course of his address, lasting almost two hours, Mr. Wanamaker said: THE BANK CRASHES. The banks must supply a large part of the capital with which business is carried -on in our citv. : Often credit is jarred by | bad management of affairs wages enterprise. At the present time whole city is aghast with the revela- that have struck two men dead and buried in confusion hosts of others. your schools, charities and state main- tenance have to nearly a million gone by the assessment of derelict directors and trustful stockholders. One of the officers of the People's and bravely to make good the state deposits. Why should he do that? Why he alone, 2s if he were at fault more pay for his own faults and others? But for him where would vou look tonight for your state money deposited in the People’s bank? In referring to the conditions of peril for our state moneys when I spoke at Lancaster a week before the bank fail- ed, I have been blamed by: some precipitating this failure. Is it high time we should be looking for the scattered around in the favored de- positories throughout the state, which by rights should not be there at all, but in. the handg where it rightfully be- longs, doing the good for which it was appropriated? CAUSE OF THE COLLAPSE. The cause of the collanse of these four banks and trust companies may be put down to scrofulous politics. Even the same political pull to drag in millions of taxpayers’ money for the benefit of We, lis & Co., the favored of the state machine politics, was suf- ficient. Nobody can make an empty | bag stand up, is an old and truc prov- erb. > The Guarantors’ Finance company, though much younger in years, seem- ingly possessed of the spirit of the day, has accomplished in | five years what it took { bank more than a score of vears to do—namely, to empty its treasury and close its doors with more than half a million of dollars deficit. relations existing between these two institutions, as shown by the disclos- should surprise no one, as the same po- litical friendship, the same dangerous relations, the same baneful influences and the same daring men were the controlling nower around and within both institutions. terests cof the Guarantors’ state political machine are shown by recalling a single incident that occurred at the last session of the legislature, when, during one of the most critical periods in the nation’s history a United States senator left his post at Washington and went to Har- and | he lobbied to pass what was known as the infamous Guarantors’ insurance bill, which was intended to give this ors; to change its plan and classes of insurance without authority of the state insurance department, placing it beyond the jurikdiction of the state insurance officials, to the protective insurance laws of the state. SUPPORT IN THE SENATE. From the speaker’s room this United States senator directed the fight for the Guarantors’ bill. While the house was him, and on political grounds urged them to vote for the iniquitous measure. Every branch of the state political machine, under his direction, was put in motion—requests. promises and threats were freely used. But, notwithstanding all these, the Guarantors’ bill, as it then was, that would have rendered it next to impos- sible to terminate the reckless business of this concern; that would have shielded the friends of the senator who are now in peril, was defeated by the efforts of ihe anti-Quay forces in the house, known as the Seventy-six.

Could the veil of secrecy that has concealed the inner workings of the state treasury for 20 years be torn aside; could. the people see piled before them the millions of dollars cf iniercst money that has been lost to them: could they know the facts of the alle «1 recliiless speculations un- lawfully ried on by politicians with their mene vv; coul? they realize that the politi: 01 slavery in Pennsylvania today has its headwaters in a political and boss manipulated state treasury, they would then realize what has been the fountain head of Quayism and of the streams of corrupt peclitics that have spread over our state. | MACHINE METHODS UNZARTHED. The oft repeated attempts to honestly conduct of the state treasury have failed, and the almost constant suspicion and attack has found every avenue closed that might lead to a knowledge of how the state money was being handled. Only once in 20 years has a state treasurer been elected that Quay did not own po- | litically, and but once in all thesg years | have we had a glimpse of the methods | employed. Samuel Butler was elected state treasurer in 1879 as an anti-machine man, and upon the examination of the | accounts of State Treasurer Noyes, pre- paratory to his taking office, he (I3ut- i ler) found due bills, orders and worth- less securities amounting, it is alleged, ! to ‘several hundred thousand dollars, receive as good assets. The story has been told in the New York Evening Post and several other metropolitan journals, and never | yet has been denied, of how Quay, the political boss, and Cashier of the State money belonging tc the state treasury and substituted practically worthless securities for cash they had | used; of how the approaching time for Treasurcr-clect Butler to take his seat rendered it necessary to make good a shortage of what is commonly reported i to be $300,000: ¢f how an exposure was | imminent, when a friend came to the rescue and raised the money. The de- tails of all this were known to but few until long after.

Beyer, treasurer, now director of the mint, a threatened investigation forced his chief clerk to leave the coun- try, and he is today a The state was saved from loss, contribu- individ- tions from cornorations and | uals who have long since received their reward by favorable legislation, se- cured through the influence of the ma- chine.

Were I the state treastirer, with one uncertain prop between me and loss from a naticnal bank, known for a | year and more to be in the quicksands, and with cne noble hearted but ill and Sergeant-at-Arms Harrah, aged man standing pathetically in the | breaeh of the other trusted institution, I:would be in haste to look after all the other moneys on deposit belonging to the state. responsible for their management, but i would surely and without delay I have by me no list of | | the places or amounts, or of the men | § or | : | to whom they have loaned the money; progressive | at least satisfy myself that I could get | it when wanted; but the fact is 1 | | would not lose an hour in scattering it | | over the state to perform the mission | for which it was collected.

POLITICS AND BANKING. What clouds and broken banks. Unless the political machine and combination which makes these things posgible can be smashed they will go on indefinitely, debauching the com- the shock to puhlic confidence. Very pertinently the outside world is i looking on and asking what Pennsyl- vania is going to do about it. a month Philadelphia has | | passed through—with its councilmanic | vehicle and is as pelves to shake off the fetters forged by time and a merciless, self serving sing. We are approaching a gubernatorial and legislative election, and whether we have a Cuban war or not on the high seas Conshohocken and Montgom- | ery counties will be here to pay taxes and be governed. No free government | can exist without elections. The kird of government we have depends on our intelligence and the interest we take in| selecting those who levy and spend the! taxes. If we are coerced in voting by corporations or tempted to sell votes as they did in Lancaster county two wees ago for a bottle of whisky or a suit of clothes, we are only bringing ruin upon ourselves and our country. We curse the country with a cancer that will eat: out its very heart. I cannot tax upon | you tonight a recital of the wrongs un- | dertaken by the last legislature—de- | feated in part by the valiant ‘‘seventy- | six” and the faithfulness of the gover- | nor in applying the veto power. Let the slated candidates of the ring come into power at the next election and you shall have the bosses owning the governor's mansion and the new capitol. Contrac- tors will furnish a lot less of building, but a large lot of money for political purposes. ! The city hall at Philadelphia and its contracts and costs is an object lesson for you. ' | The padded pay rolls, the taxation proposed. the reimbursement of the Lexow and mileage committees that were headed off last year, will call next time upon you, and you will have no remedy. { THE PROSPECT PORTRAYED. | Do you like the prospect? Are you pleased to be led about in the Andrews- Quay chain gang, on the promise of a place or a free pass on the rairoad? If you are not getting anything out of your servitude you are not as smart as the others who do, and they laugh at you while they enjoy their innings. Bushels of railroad passes are co stantly being distributed by the steam railroads, by the hands of the politi- | cians, to their friends who vote the way the railroads want them to vote. And this gcing on in open day, and ! known to thousands, and the interstate commerce law notwithstanding. Let me | conclude with a word or two personal | to myself. Very reluctantly I accepted the call of the Bourse conference to become a can- didate of the Republican party for gov- ernor. I have no wish to be governor. | 1 am simply offering myself for your | use, to break the slate of the bosses and to get a man for governor accept- able to the people who want to throw | off the yoke of the machine. I want to see ‘the state start anew out of the | wilderness into a land of hope and prosperity. You can elect your own governor and you can elect your own legislature, and be your own masters— if you will. { VICTORY IN DLAIR. | n- | The demoralization of the Quay lead- A 1.1.

They are undoubted- ly right in their understanding of the methods of corrupt procedure, but they : will have a org struggle before they can break down the vicious system, un- less the voters are much more thought- ful and independent than those of New York. If they can bring these voters actually to refuse support to the lead- | ers who they know maintain vicious system, and continue to refuse that support, they will have done more than the reformers in any other Amer- ican city have been able. to accom- however, that public show of indigna- tion at an exposure of rascality means any great increase in public virtue.
