PATTISON The Policies of the Republican Party In State and Nation Outlined—Some Facts 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 vocation in life than that of a farmer. “As the owner of a farm in Mont- gomery county and cf 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 “lI 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 the present prosperous coadition of affairs than the cwner 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, the 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 the soil with labor that they might be gladdemed 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 $8, and corn and potatoes only brought in the market 121% 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 state 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 state 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 the present time it practically no longer exists. The tax- ation of the farmer’s land and herds of cattle for the purposes of the state have been brought to an end, and the revenues necessary for the annual expenditure have been imposed upon the corporations. There are in the treasury over $12,000,000. PATTISON SHOULD ANSWER. “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 be 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 the Republican party. “The reason for the taxation of land is historical rather than logical. If you were to read the Commentaries of Coke upon Litticton 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 the past and practically to perceive that the conditions of life had changed. The principle adopted by them ought gradually and wisely to be extended further, so that the expen- ditures necessary for the maintainance county improvements and 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 when such a spirit of unrest seizes up- on the people that they have been will- ing to abandon their homes and their lands in quest of other and better for- tunes. Time and again there have been great depreciation of the value of lands in England and in all other countries. Somewhat similar causes produced in earlier ages the 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 fell very much in value and there were dur- ing the next few years extensive emi- grations from Pennsylvania to Canada, to the Genesee county in New York, and to the Shenandoah Valley and Kentucky. During the last twenty- five years we have been going through 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 through- out the country affording facilities for the transportation of grain from the interior to the seaboard, has brought the Eastern farmer with his high priced lands into competition with the West, where a rich soil hitherto un- used, and, therefore, productive with- out fertilizers, could be secured for a 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, witn 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 the time is sure to come, and is not far distant, the man wi 1 the hoe, or if you choose with the plow and reaper and binder, will have his grip on the 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 ali classes in the community. Already we feel the zephyrs which precede the blast, already we have the ripple which is the forerunner of the 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 of 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 2 benefit from the general pros- perity, but he has a double reason for being interested in the success of the Republican cause. THE REPUBL.1.CAN POLICY. “It has ever been the policy of the Republican party to build up and main-- tain the manufactures of the country. and around every mill for the making 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 gathereds the homes of the laborers and their fam- ily. Since that party came into pow- er the population has grown more than in the century before, and all are con- sumers of beef, corn, wheat and pota- toes. All must live upon what the farmer has to sell them. That policy is now doing even more. The suc- 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 the trade of the world. Everywhere the ‘American proaucts are being introduced, and not oniy the wealth which is created at home, but that of farther India is being poured into our lap. A PICTURE OF THE FUTURE. “Tt 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 couniry of immense wealth, teeminz with happy and prosperous people. The great centres of population which have arisen along the Thames and Seine will be dwarfed in comparison with those which will be found along the Hudson and the Delaware. The development we have seen within the last few years around Pittsburg and on the Pennsylvania Railroad outside of Philadelphia, where farm lands have risen in a 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 enjoying the benefits which have resulted from the 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 zht in all kindnes to be protected fron the consequences For of their want of good judgment. the Republicans of Penr fail would be in the present, as i been in the past, the fi step in a career of disaster which would inflict immeasurable injury upon the whole American people, Republicans and Democrats alike.” Harts, Swedish Asthmalx «.
