HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOL- ' LARS COLLECTED BY THE RE PUBLICAN MACHINE FROM THE I PEOPLE, AND THE STATE DEBT I YET REMAINS UNPAID—MANY INTERESTING FACTS AND FIG URES IN THIS CONNECTION j FROM ONE OF THE BEST POSTED MEN IN PENNSYLVANIA. Before there was a Republican party | In the country the Democratic party in I Pennsylvania had succeeded in incorpo- | rating into the state constitution such i adequate provision for a sinking fund j and the gradual payment of the state j debt that its ultimate cancellation was assured. The credit for payment, there fore, so far as any party is entitled to it, is a Democratic monopoly. The fol- j lowing additional facts from the pen of Hon. B. F. Myers, in the Harrlsburg j Star-Independent of late date, in answer i to ignorant Republican vaporing, will be found interesting: The claim made that when the Demo crats went out of power in this state in 1861 the state debt was $40,000,000, and since then this debt has been almost entirely liquidated, has done duty in party organs and on the stump for at least two decades. It was first made in the Hoyt-Dill campaign in 1878, and it has been repeated ever since in every canvass in which questions affecting | the administration of the state govern- j nient were raised. Let us accord all the i credit for the reduction of the state j debt that is due the party which has had almost uninterrupted control of the legislature during the 37 years ending with 1897, and which always had suffi cient power in one of the two houses to negative any reforms emanating from the executive office when that was In possession of the opposing party. But ! let us ascertain from statistics on the j subject of the state debt what .credit I really belongs to that party. What are the facts involved in this matter? Turn I to pages 1003 and 1004 of Smull's Legis- j lative Handbook for 1897 and find there : a statement of the "Public Loans of the j Commonwealth" from 1821 until 1861. As nearly as can be ascertained the sum total of those loans was, in 1861, in j round numbers, $31,000,000. This sum j included the loan of May 15, 1861, for arming the state, which was made by a Republican administration. The state debt, on its face, left by the Democrats I when they went out of power was. therefore. $3'..000.000, not $40,000,000. But j against this stood the proceeds of the I sale of the public works, effected by the j Democrats, which, as nearly as can bo j ascertained, amounted to about SII,OOO,- j 000. Thus it appears that the real amount of debt left by the Democrats | when they were turned out was $20,000,- 000, not $40,000,000. Thus Is the tale cut | in twain. Now, look again on page 1004 j of Smull and you will find that the state debt Is $6,815,305. Deduct $6,815,305 from $20,000,000 and it appears that $13,184,695 j of the principal of the state debt left by the Democrats in 1861 were paid during j a period of 37 years by the Republican ; party. A careful calculation of the In terest on the debt paid during that pe riod shows that it amounted to about I $27,000,000. Add the principal and inter est paid during that time and the total payments are shown to amount to S4O,- j 184,695. Add, also, the repayment of the j war loan of 1861 C$3,000,000) and the pay- ! ments on the debt created by both the ; political parties sum up to $43,184,695. Now turn to page 995 of Smull for 1897 and there find a statement of the re - j ceipts and expenditures at the state treasury from 1861 to 1897, both years ' inclusive. Foot up the receipts and you will find that they aggregated $326,- ! 323,000 for the 37 years. Taking the ex- ! pendltures of the state government for j 1880. for all purposes, as a fair average ; of what the payments at the state ' treasury should have been per annum Fince the constitution of 1874 has been In force, and multiplying that average by 37, we find that if the state govern- ; ment had been as economically admin istered during all the years from 1861 to 1897 as It was In 1880, the payments at the treasury should have been for the 37 years $252,344,403. Deduct this sum from $326,323,000 (the amount of ! the receipts at the state treasury for the 37 years) and there is shown a sur plus of receipts over necessary and proper expenditures of $73,978,597, but of this surplus only $43,184,694 were ap plied to the payment of the principal and Interest of the state debt. The $30,793,903 which should have remained in the treasury would have wiped out the $6,815,305 of the state debt still un paid, and left $23,978,598 to be given to the common schools over and above the appropriation made to them on the basis of 1880. How much credit, then, is clue to such administration of the state government as, notwithstanding the Immense revenues received at the tieasury, has failed to pay off the state debt by nearly $7,000,000?

JENISjmiC LIFE LEADING POINTS IN A REMARK ABLE CAREER —HIS PROMI NENCE AND INFLUENCE IN CON GRESS—A COURAGEOUS ADVO CATE OF RETRENCHMENT. ECONOMY AND HONEST AND EFFICIENT ADMINISTRATION. THE TRUE FRIEND OF THE SOL DIER—A BRILLIANT EXECUTIVE RECORD—THE CONVINCING TRI BUTE OF A REPUBLICAN EDI TOR. The following are the principal poln's contained In a remarkable address, de livered at Carlisle, Pa., recently, by Edwin K. Hart, a leading Independent Republican editor of Philadelphia, after a careful personal Investigation into the official record of the Democratic reform candidate for governor. Mr. Hart said: "The record of the private, profession al, public and official life of George A. Jenks shows him to be in every re spect the man for the present crisis in Pennsylvania as the true and reliable j leader in the cause of udininfktrative j reform. After building up a most en viable practice at the bar, being rec- | ognlzed as the ablest lawyer in west ern Pennsylvania, before he had reach ed middle life, Mr. Jenks entered the national house of representatives, in 1874, and although he served but a sin gle term, in consequence of the prepon derance of opposition party sentiment In that section of the state, he made a national reputation, which will ever be a credit to himself and all the people of Pennsylvania, irrespective of polit ical relationships. Instantly recogniz ing the character and capabilities of the man, all the leaders, on both sides, at once gave him a most Influential place in their mtdst. As chairman of one of the most important committees, that having charge of pensions, he ex ercised a potent influence in behalf of invalid soldiers and their helpless de pendents. He secured legislation in their behalf when others could not, and made a brilliant address, defending the rights* of pensioners, resenting the spe cious idea that their claims were to ba regarded from a standpoint of charity. He successfully maintained that pen sions were a right and not a gratuity; that a pensioner's certificate must not be regarded as a badge of mendicancy. "In the Impeachment trial of General Belknap, secretary of war, Mr. Jenks, on behalf of the house, made two speeches, which were considered mas terpieces of law, logic and patriotism, and which commended him to the ud mlratlon of political friends and foes. His denudation of the crimes commit ted by this recreant member of Grant's cabinet showed his Intense and right eous hatred of every form of political iniquity and is applicable to every sort of evildoers in the political and official arena today. At no time in his life hr I Mr. Jenks ever shown the slightest measure of sympathy with those who have betrayed their trust, and his elec tion to the highest office within the gift of the people of this great state would be at once a sweeping condemnation of the foes of clean politics and honest government, a magnificent vindication of the principles of popular sovereignty and a bedrock of guarantee of honest, faithful and efficient administration of the executive department at Hai risburg during the next four years. "When the electoral commission was struggling to keep the country from the throes of a second civil war Mr. Jenks was specially appointed to appear be fore that high tribunal, and his argu ments in the cases of Louisiana and Oregon furnished supplemental proof as to his intellectual resources, showing him to be easily the equal of the ablest men in the nation. These addresses were utterly devoid of narrow parti sanship, but were earnest, honest* dis passionate appeals for the triumph of truth and Justice, and no one can read them at this hour without realizing how intense is the condemnation of every form of political iniquity which possess the heart and mind of Mr. Jenks. He is the sworn foe of the polit ical crook, wherever he may be found; the courageous upholder of honesty and fidelity in the performance of public trust. "During his congressional service this conscientious public servant sought to promote in every way possible the in terests of the people, believing, as he constantly declared, that economy, dil igence and purity should characterize the administration of public affairs. He Introduced and pressed a bill for the reduction of the salaries of federal officials, congressmen Included, and earnestly opposed every effort to in crease the salaries of members of the house and senate. His policy was con sistent and courageous throughout, and had the measures he advocated, some of the most important of which, like that looking to the transfer of the pen sion bureau from the interior to the war department, he originated, been adopted, many millions of dollars would have been saved to the government. And as It was then, so it undoubtedly will be. if he is honored with the special trust and confidence of his fellow cit izens as their chief magistrate. "Mr. Jenks has likewise been tried and found capable and trustworthy In executive office. He was appointed an assistant secretary of the interior in July. 1885, by President Cleveland, at the special request of Secretary Lamar, who had served with him In the house, and gave such striking manifestations of his superior legal attainments that a few months later he was transferred to the department of Justice, as solici tor general, next to the highest office in that department, wherein he jerved four full years, remaining some nine months under President Harrison, at the hitter's special request. In this po sition the capable lawyer and the hon est public official were fitly united, and Mr. Jenks made a record without a flaw, and one which commended him .anew to the confidence and esteem of all right minded people. He was not a favorite with those having unjust claims against the government, or with those who sought to prostitute its func tions to the promotion of personal in rerests. He was faithful to every oh- 1 ligation, and retired from office fol- > lowed by the sincerest well wishes of his political opponents, to whom he had *et the highest example of personal ; und official honor. "In the present crisis it is our duty, as citizens, regardless of oartisan views, to unite In support of a candl- i date for governor who thus embodies j every essential requirement, and no ! good citizen can be excused from see ing clearly and acting intelligently and j courageously. The election of Mr. Jenks to the governorship would be one of the most notable triumphs in the cause of true patriotism in the annals of the country. Stand up for him. and see that your neighbor understands what manner of man he is, and also comes to his support with his voice and his influence and his ballot. Let there be a mighty unification of the right eous sentiment of good citizenship. The opportunity to elect such a man as Mr. Jenks as the guardian and defender of the people's rights at the state capital is too rare to be overlooked or neglect ed. The duty is imperative. Let par tisan lines be obliterated, anklet the enemies of honest government be over whelmed. Rally for Jenks and reform, and save our noble state from another era of misgovernment and public rob bery and disgrace. IS LABOR BENEFITED? Extravagant Increases in the Bureau of In dustrial Statistics—Factory Inspector's Department and Mine Inspector's De partment. Under the guise of protecting em ployes in mines ai\d factories, Repub lican legislatures have added to the heavy tax burden of the people, with out in any way ameliorating the hard ships of those whom they professed to assist. Notwithstanding the crea tion of special bureaus to compile in dustrial statistics, to investigate the j working of coal mines, to eradicate sweat shops, to prevent the employ- I nient of children under the statutory | age, and to guard the lives and the I health of mine and factory operatives J by the erection of certain safety appli ances, there have been no satisfactory ! and valuable statistics gathered, no cor i responding improvement in the workings j of coal mines, no decrease in the num bers of children employed in mines and I factories, and no earnest effort made | to secure inside safety appliances or the erection of fire escapes of known practical good. A few sweat shops have been obliged to change location, but the number has increased, rather J than diminished, and In no particular j instance where factory Inspectors have I made themselves prominent have con | dltlons for workingmen and working I women changed materially for the bet | ter. INDUSTRIAL STATISTICS. There was a time when the bureau of industrial statistics compiled matter of interest and importance—under Hon. Miles Humphries, Republican, and Hon. Joel B. McCamant, Democrat, the bu reau was conducted on lines which gave the employer and the employed a really intelligible account of the rep resentative Industries of the common wealth. After Governor Beaver's elec tion the vagaries of the Republican statistician, Mr. Bolles, were substi tuted for methodical tables of employes, wages, products, etc. A MODERN ECONOMIST. His successor assumed charge of the I bureau of industrial statistics under Hastings. Since his appointment to I the position he has been employing himself and his bureau assistants in political log rolling for the Republican ! machine, giving his odd moments to | the duties for the supposed perform j ance of which he draws a salary, j But, if not a statistician, he is gifted with an amount of local pride sufficient ' to cause him to have compiled and , published at state expense 51 pages of | matter, highly and expensively illus trated, of a tin plate concern located in ! his little city of New Castle, Lawrence | county. As an advertisement of the tin plate concern it is a creditable pro duction, and one for which the state should have charged the tin plate com i pany a few thousands of dollars. The i balance of the report of the bureau j under his supervision contains 194 pages ! of what printers call "phat," a term I which, in this instance, would mean j that the statistician's 194 pages of sta ' tisticn could have been condensed into | less than one-half that number with ; profit to the state and no loss to the : seeker after information. | On page 242 of his report for the year 1895, discussing the number of strikes, he says: "In presenting the table of ; strikes for the year 1895, it has been deemed proper to make the number of j strikes to equal the number of estab lishments involved. For instance. I where a strike occurred effecting five ; establishments. * * * * the strike, al- J though but ONE in FACT is COUNTED as five. • • * • And when one establish ! ment had three strikes during the year. ; although but ONE ESTABLISHMENT IN FACT, vet It is counted as THREE I ESTABLISHMENTS. BY THIS I'KO j CESS IT WILL BE SEEN THAT THE I NUMBER OF STRIKES EQUALS i THE NUMBER OF ESTABLISH MENTS." i The capitals are not the statistician's i but the genius which conceived this ! simple arrangement of forcing the num | her of strikes to agree with the num ber of establishments and vice versa is ; the sole and undisputed possession of thi9 remarkable economist from Law- I rence county. According to his economic vagaries, should a cyclone sink one ship at sea and four ships in a harbor adjacent, it would count as five cyclones, and should one ship be struck at three dif ferent times by three different cyclones it would not be one ship, but three ships. He draws a salary of $2,500 per an num. FROM $7,000 TO $17,500. Under Democratic rule from 1883 to 1886 inclusive, the total annual expense of the bureau of industrial statistics was $7,000. This amount paid all sala ries and contingent expenses. Under the present rule the cost to run the bureau one year exceeds $17,500, the contingent expenses ulone exceeding the total sum paid for salaries and contingencies under the rule of the Democratic party. FACTORY INSPECTION. The office of factory inspector, cre ated in 1890, cost the state for that year for salaries and contingent ex penses $5,176. The first suggestion for the passage of a law. creating factory inspectors came trom a Democrat at tache of the bureau of statistics in ISS4. There was no intimation in that suggestion that a costly political ma chine, conducting business under the nom de plume of "The Factory In spector's Department," was needed. On the contrary, he advised the ap pointment of three factory inspectors, to be employed as an additional work ing force for the bureau of industrial statistics, and Jhat their investigations were to be incorporated in the bureau reports. The cost to carry out this project successfully would never ne cessarily exceed $5,000 per annum, whereas, under the system Inaugurated by the Republican machine the present cost of the factory inspectors' depart ment exceeds the enormous sum of $40,000 per annum. HOW IT INCREASES. To show the steady increase in the cost to maintain this department, noth ing more is necessary than to scan the reports of expenditures as compiled in the office of the auditor general for the following years: 1890, $5,176; 1892, $12,375; 1894, $27,920; 1896, $36,300; 1898, $40,000. Of the sum of SBO,OOO appropriated in 1897 to maintain this department, $60.- 000 are paid in salaries and $20,000 are used as a political campaign fund under the guise of "contingent traveling ex penses." Besides the factory inspector, his clerk and stenographer, there are twenty deputies paid to perform the work that four good men could perform easily and have time to spare. PADDED REPORTS. When $40,000 are annually paid to maintain a department it becomes ne cessary to make a showing of some kind for the apparent necessity for the outlay. For this reason resort is had to a system known as "padding the reports." As a sample of padding, the report of the factory inspector for 1897 is worth an examination. It contains 698 print ed pages, every page of which in ex cess of 13, the report proper as required by law, is padding. There are 22 pages of the laws of Pennsylvania, 8 pages of the laws of other states, 123 pages containing the proceedings of the In ternational Association of Factory In spectors and 533 pages of reports of in spectors. That the inspectors should make a detailed report of their labors to their ihief does not admit of question, but .vhen the reports have been made his duty is to simply summarize such re ports for the public benefit, filing away the cumbrous originals as department documents which may possibly be of use as reference papers. Each inspect or reports the number and location of the factories visited, goods manufac tured, date of inspection, etc. The re ports are printers' "phat," as pub lished. Much of the matter is nonsense in the first instance, and not one line of it is fit for publication in the crude, undigested form in which it appears in print at a cost of many thousands of dollars. INSPECTORS OF COAL MINES. In 1883 the coal mines of Pennsylva nia were as well inspected as now. True, there were many complaints from coal miners of neglect of duty on the part of the mine inspectors, but the complaints have since then grown more exaggerated, ending, for the time be ing, in the creation of a mine bureau in 1897, said bureau officials to have special supervision over the mine in spectors. All the mine inspectors are expected to contribute to the support of the Re publican machine, not in money only, but in the performance of proselyting campaign work. The following is an exhibit complied from the records of the auditor general of the moneys giv en by the state to maintain and sup port mine inspectors: 1883. $33,189; 1885, $34,637; 1890, $48,- 948; 1893, $61,556; 1897, $66,000. The reports for the years 1897 and 1898 do not include moneys for contin gent and other expenses, which, if in cluded, would increase the amounts to about $72,000 for each year. A glance at the exhibit will show the enormous increase from year to year in the sums of money taken from the public treasury and paid to support a corps of officials over whom the state legislature, by act of 1897. felt con strained to appoint a supervisor. Ev erybody favors rigid mine inspection. No honest man favors the reckless ex penditure or the making of the depart ment an adjunct of whatever may hap pen to be the reigning political machine. PUBLIC PRINTING. Half a Million a Year Wasted on Padded State Reports. The cost to the state in 1883 of print ers' supplies, printing and publishing of all books, documents and papers ex cept the Legislative Record, the cost of which is contained in a special item, was $281,808, the appropriation cover ing the years 1883 and 1884. The cost of same during the entire firs: term of Governor Pattison was $605,863, and this with an extra session on his hands. Beaver succeeded Pattison in 1887, and under his four years' rule the cost was swelled to $910,216. Pattison succeeded Beaver in 1891, and despite the opposition of a Re publican legislature and the printers' lobby, he knocked off $63,000 from the printers' bills as paid under the ad ministration of his predecessor. Hastings succeeded Pattison in 1895, and the bills for public printing for his full term, as per estimate of the state treasurer, will amount to $1,130,984, and a scandalous case in court involving the payment of another sum of $63,000. These are the facts, and when taken in connection with the steals all along the line of the departments they cer tainly afford sufficient food for thought for serious and upright citizens. To swell the printers' bills the de partment reports have been padded, useless and expensive pictures costing in several instances S7OO per page have been inserted, and the number of copies of the reports allowed by law to be printed has been increased by substi tuting two volumes of a report for one. Comment on such high handed meth ods is useless unless it comes in the form of a protest at the battle of the ballots. The voters pay the bills, and if they like the robberies, well and good. How ever they resent them, they will find in George A. Jenks a man who will respect their wishes and uphold their demands for reform.

THE TREND OF PUBLIC SENTI MENT ON THE GUBERNATORIAL ISSUE MADE MANIFEST BY THE CHANGED AND STILL CHANGING ATTITUDE OF THE HERETOFORE ANTAGONISTIC OR NON-COMMIT TAL NEWSPAPERS—IF ALL THE DEMOCRATS COME OUT AND STAND FAITHFUL JENKS AND HIS COLLEAGUES ARE SURE WINNERS. Two weeks ago Hon. George A. Jenks had but one friend among all the news papers in Philadelphia, but one that had faith in even the remotest possi bility of his election. But since then the people have heard and seen Mr. Jenks, and the Philadelphia newspa pers have evidently heard from the people. The Philadelphia Press, claiming to be the leading Republican Journal in the state, said on Sunday: "No one question Mr. Jenks* capac ity, high character a\id unusual attain ments as a lawyer. In many respects he would make an ideal governor; nothing could be better than to have the crude work of the legislature sub jected to his keen scrutiny and sharp criticism, and winnowed by the vetoes of one of the greatest lawyers in Penn sylvania. Pennsylvania has rarely had a governor so well qualified for its duties as President Cleveland's solic itor general. Yet, how can Republi cans vote for a man who is a free sil ver Democrat? True, there is no mint in Harrisburg, and Mr. Jenks' views on silver boar no relation to the duties ho would be called on to perform as gov ernor. His Democracy, too, is rather of the old fashioned type of the Jere Black, George Sharswood, Charles R. Buckalew variety. Nevertheless, Re publicans will pause long and debate much before they bring themselves to vote for a free silver Democrat, how ever great his attainments, unimpeach able his character and profound his learning." At the same time The Press, in an swer to the inquiry of a Republican, who is against Stone, whether he should vote for Swallow or Jenks, said, first conceding Dr. Swallow's honesty and good intentions: "There are* many, however, who, while wishing him well, are not satis fled that he has the sobriety of Judg ment and sound horse sense necessa ry to make a safe and successful chief executive of such a difficult and com plex institution as the commonwealth of Pennsylvania." If this is not asking that Jenks be voted for, as far and as plainly as a Republican would dare ask such a thing, then there is no meaning In "the king's English." On Monday McClure's Times, which has been all along insisting that Jenks had no chance of ejection whatever, and that Swallow was the man to support, in the course of a lengthy ar ticle on the situation, said: "Colonel Stone is weaker today be fore the people of Pennsylvania than he has been at any time since his nom ination for governor, and Mr. Jenks, the Democratic candidate, Is certainly stronger today than he has been since his nomination at Altoona. Dr. Swal low's loose aggregation of enthusiastic but undisciplined free thinkers in pol itics, has suffered during the last fort night by the attacks of the regular ar mies of the old parties, but he has made a most gallant fight, and to whatever extent he has lost in the va rying political tides Is due wholly to ostentatious incompetency in the lead ership of his organization and not in any degree due to himself. "The vote of Colonel Stone is not likely to exceed 400,000, and it is pos sible that it may be from 30.000 to 50,000 less. If he shall receive 400,000 votes his election would be assured, but if he shall be reduced to 350,000, as is quite possible, his defeat would seem inevit able: and in the present political tides, which are not likely now to be changed on the brief homestretch. Mr. Jenks would be the winner. There is one possible chance for Dr. Swallow, and that is a groundswell from the silent voters of the state. His forces are without effective organization, and his cause would be better today If he had been without any organization at all, but it is remotely possible that his en tire freedom from machine complica tions may give him the disaffected vote of the state that certainly embraces close to one-half of the whole people, but all the surface indications now point to a contest on the homestretch between Stone and Jenks. with the success of Jenks quite possible." The Ledger and others equally un friendly. a very short time ago, have, In a similar way, changed their minds and nre giving now, some of them grudgingly. It is true, but all so that the wayfaring man can understand, their belief that Mr. Jenks is the com ing man. Now, collate with this the coming to Mr. Jenks' support of the Pittsburg Leader, the leading Republican even ing paper of that city. The Dispatch, of Pittsburg, the best known independ ent Republican paper of the state, was already with him. On Oct. 29 the Leader said: "The parade of city and county em ployes last Might in honor of the Re publican state ticket was necessarily great in numbers, for the payrolls are extensive, but It was curiously fu nereal in character. As the long lines I'f officeholders trooped down Fifth ave nue the lack of enthusiasm not only among the onlooklng crowd, but among the marchers themselves, was painful ly apparent. No cheers, no campaign battle cries, no hearty greetings and sympathetic plaudits. Had the cortege been en route to a cemetery to at tend the performance of the last sad rlts over the remains of Quay Republi canism in Pennsylvania its aspect could not have been more woebegone nor its reception at the hands of the beholders more frigidly doleful. If such mani festations ore as good a criterion as they are commonly deemed to be there is no escaping the conclusion that the heart and soul of Pittsburg are very far from being in the Quay Republican campaign. A few 'frosts' like that of last night ought to suffice to niD boom beyond repair." How to Prolong Life No man or woman can hope to live long if the Kidneys, Bladder, or Urinary Organs are diseased.
