In advance 11 “ Six Months Four Months All subscriptions not paid during the year Will be charged at the rate of 12.00. Office in Democrat Building, east side of Second Street—ground floor. Democrats of Adams County The Democrat makes this its last issue before the great political race for supremacy, between the Democratic party of the people, and for the people, and the Republican party of the rich, and for the rich, takes place,—all other parties in the race will be distanced long before the distance pole is reached. Four years cßgo the people of Adams county were called upon to perform a duty, which, if discharged to the best of their ability, gives great pleasure. Indeed if we were deprived of this privilege by any tyranical government, you would see thousands of good citizens raise in arms to put down the oppressor. This is a privilege of which the people of the United SU es have boasted from the time it was but thirteen small colonies, until it has grown to be one of the first nations on the globe. Adams County forms but a small portion of this great country, yet it is a factor for good or evil. We are facing a question of reform, —the importance of which has not been excelled within the last score of years. The Republican party has given itself over to a protection system which taxes the toiling masses who are struggling day after day to secure a livelihood and to guard against the pangs of hunger and to evade the chilly frosts of king winter; these poor people are taxed for the benefit of the few who are housed in mansions, alothed in the warmest of apparel, and are enabled to sip the best of wines and to pai+ake of the best of food that this bounteous earth can afford. If this is a government for the people and by the people, then it is the duty of every voter to cast his ballot in the interest of the people. Voters of Adams county, you can not afford to protect the rich, —expecting them in return to care for you. This is the last appeal that we will make (before the election) to the Democracy of Adams county, to urge upon them this very important duty, until the battle of the people is fought and won. New York is positively good for 60,000 majority for Cleveland. Carnegie gives #IOO,OOO to the Republican fund. Do laboring men want to assist Carnegie? Workingmen a vote for W. F. Daly is a vote m the interest of Carnegie, Pnck & Co. Vote the Democratic ticket as the Republicans will theirs, — Straight. o No “Homestead-Like” defenders wanted to represent the workingmen of the Eleventh district in Congress. | “The Democrats are Imps of Hell, and if I had. a mind to swear, 1 would say, God Damn them to HeU?— Gov. Chase at Union April 21, 1892. When Republican electors resign in order to vote for Grover Cleveland, it looks very much as if the republican ship were about to go to pieces. 7 Democrats and People’s party I men beware of the wily “boodler” R of the Republican party. Don’t give him the chance to laugh at you after the election. The nominees on the Democratic County ticket are all qualified for the positions' for which they have been nominate!. It is the duty of every Democrat to vote nothing 11. Vat * strsight ticket

William F. Daly. What His Action' Have Been Towards the workingman. The Peru Sentinel, pubhshe 1 at the home of William F. Daly, candidate for Congress, has this to say of him: T The voter who believes in the principle to which Carnegie and Frick resorted in order to coerce their laborers into submission at the point of Winchester rifles, should vote for Daly. Be it remembered that during a strike at the Howe factory Daly stood in the entrance of the factory with TWO BIG REVOLVERS and threatened to SHOOT DOWN LABORERS who should attempt to enter. He also went down to Indianapolis during the strike of 1877 to shoot down Workingmen. Such is that man Daly who seeks the workingman’s vote to boost him into Congress, that he may be better able to assist in perpetuating the rule of intolerence. 3300,00 Reward for evidence that will convict any of the Republican Leaders of Bribery or attempted bribery. Besides this the law gives to the Prosecuting witness S3OO which the briber must pay. All we ask is the evidence. The old soldiers, the farmer and day laborer are all loved by the republicans during a campaign. After the election the post offices all go to the politician to offset the love bestowed upon the soldier. Indiana is all right. If the Democracy keeps at work day and night until the polls close November 8 the State is just as certain to give the Cleveland electors a bandsome plurality as night is to follow day. Democrats of Adams County who are these enthusiastic workers of the People’s party? Have they not been boosted and boodled by managers of the Republican party to create dissatisfaction in order that they might capture a few unsusp&ting Democrats. We heard a very enthusiastic people’s party candidate remark that it wouldn’t be policy for him to say who he was going to vote for, for State and National honors, as he wanted to fool voters from both the Democratic and Republican parties to vote for him. Os course he warn’t no saint, but hee’l find that the party mostly fooled after the election will be hitqself. It is noticeable that the Republican campaign managers are hugging the gas belt closely. Natural gas furnishes a good cheap fuel, which offers inducements to manufacturers, and the republicans are attempting to take advantage of the circumstances. They tell the people that the tariff is the soul cause of it all, ignoring all else. The work of the Dudleys is booming. ssr W. F. Daly, who stood at the entrance of the Howe Factory at Peru, Indiana, during a strike, and at the point of two revolvers defied workingmen to enter on penalty of being shot down, is now a candidate for Congress in this district. Work, ingmen, it is in your power to rebuke the actions of this man by voting for the friend of the poor and oppressed, the Hon. A. N. Martin. We know of a certain Democrat in our city who on several occn. sions has affiliated with Republicans by voting for some intimate friend on their ticket, and made miny enemies in his party by doing so. He says he has sinned against his Maker and sought forgiveness and felt relieved, but affiliating with the Republican party he ' considers the greatest sin of his life, and which smotes him at every , thought.

One of the windiest breaks thai has been made this campaign is t< be found in the republican plat form. We refer to the “eighth’’ plank in that glorious structure In expressing the sentiments of the republican party, the platform says: “It sympathises with the cause of Home Rule in Ireland, and protests against the persecution of the Jews in Rus da. * This is nothing but wind. The republican party’s sympathies extend toward the oppressed in Europe just far enough to try to I rake in the Irish and Jewish vote of America. If the Chinese of this country should become naturalized, the next republican platform would contain sympathies for the oppressed of China. Prabably it is through the sympathy for the pauper labor of Europe,—that the republicans have—that causes the off-scourer-ings of the Eastern hemisphere V' be allowed to pour in upon the struggling American in a constant stream of emigration, and are only checked for a short time, as the oc easion demands, to rid their bodies and clothing of the deadly cholera microbe. When the quarantine officers are satisfied that the emigrants clothing does not contain the germs of death itself, the flood-gates of emigration are raised and the incoming current is only hastened by ihe previous lull. The republican campaign orators tell us that they believe in America legislating for the Americans. They do not hesitate to keep out foreign manufactured goods and at the same time to tax 60,000,000 people keep up what they call infant industries; alleging this to be for the good of the American laborer. At the same time while keeping up this false showing, thousands of Palians and their kind are permitted to land on our shores when they are positively known to be a detriment to the country. Go to our depots and watch the cargos of human freight, note the dark skin of carload after carload of these passengers we hear called Dagoes- They are not tit persons to ride in the coaches with the common passengers, but are shoved off in a car by themselves. These people who are not considered fit to associate or remain in the presence of ordinary white people are allowed to come to this country and degrade the wages of the very men that the republican party is now professing to protect The republican party refuses the goods of clean, intelligent and progressive European countries, because that course would interfere with the money kings of America. While this same grand old party is doing this, she is making this free country of ours a swill-tub into which the slums of Europe are emptied. This not only lowers wages, but it degrades labor. Our American youths, with that free and indepentent spirit that is always fostered and nourished by a republican form of government, do not like to work by the side of Dagoes. A good specimen of this class of humanity could have been seen here last spring, in squads of tens, twenties, and even fifties, going to and coming 'from work. They were employed by the Standard Oil Company in preference to Americans. Our youths, by seeing these specimens of humanity get a wrong idea of labor. They think to labor they must be classed with these lower grades of humanity. Thus the taste tor manly toil is blighted, and being compelled to resort to other means to obtain a' livelihood, failure is too often the result; and a life of usefulness is ended, and one of misery and debauchery is commenced. Read the republican platform and you will, be surprised to see how silent it is on this point. They do not mean that the laborer shall not compete with the pauper labor of Europe. It is their business to allow competition between the labor of Europe and America, but they don’t want the | competition of the business nen o Europe. The protection of Amen, can industries for the good of the laborer, would be like showering riches upon Dives, for the gnod of Lazarus. We wcu’d simply ask the sober-minded citiz“n how the “eighth” windy plank of the republican platform compares with the, 12th p’ank of the Democratic plat-1 form, which readsfollows: ' “We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the’ United States from being used as the dumping ground for the criminals and , professional paupers of Europe, and ' we demand the right of enforcement of the laws against Chinese immi gration and the importation of foreign workmen under contract to degrade American labor and lesson its wages. But we condemn and denounce any and all attempts to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lands.
