Pike County Democrat, Volume 31, Number 26, Petersburg, Pike County, 2 November 1900 — Page 8

Washington Letter. Democrats enter the last week of the campaign hopeful of success^ They have every reason to know that the plain people of the country— those who earn their living by brain or brawn, and who have no interest in or sympathy with the trusts, which are so rapidly crushing out all opportunity for the success of individual effort in any industrial or commercial line, are overwhelmingly in favor of the election of Bryan and Stevenson. They do not underrate the power of the forces - which are working in unison for the re-election of Mr. McKinley. On the contrary, they know there is danger, grave danger, that the unscrupulous use of bread and butter coercion by those forces, will resplt in defeating the will of the people in a sufficient number of states to re-elect Mr. McKinley. All that men can do to meet this danger is be

ing done by the democratic leaders, from Mr. Bryan down, but after all, it is the voters themselves who will determine the result, and it is difficult to believe that there are a sufficient number of American voters who can be purchased by money or compelled by threats of discharge from their position, to vote against their honest convictions and in favor of retaining) this trust-ridden, imperialistic administration in power. This country never saw a more important election day that November (ith will be. The result will show whether a majority of American voters prefer being free men, each a sovereign in his own pert son and an equal participant in a free government, or serfs under an iml>erial government, the every act of which is dictated by a moneyed oligarchy. Ex-Senator Gorman, whose health has prevented taking an active part in the campaign as he wished, has lately been giving the democratic managers in Maryland the benefit of his counsel. He says the state will, in his judgment, go democratic; and that from all the information he has received, he regards the outlook for the election of Bryan and Stevenson as favorable. He says there is no doubt of the masses being with the democracy to a much greater extent than in 189ii. .g Senator Blackburn, who came to Washington to attend the funeral of his son-in-law, left for Kentucky today, to resume his campaign work. He said that he had no personal knowledge of the situation outside of Kentucky, but that he knew the situation in that state thoroughly and that the republican claims there were the rankest sort of bluff: that the state was absolutely sure to go democratic, both for state and national tickets, and that he believed republican claims in numerous other states had no better foundation than in Kentucky, which made him confident of the election of Bryan and Stevenson and a “democratic majority of the House. While for vote-making purposes the republicans are talking about the early return of the volunteers from the Philippines, the War Department is arranging to forward 2,000 recruits to the Philippines from San Francisco, within the next two weeks. That’s the difference between talking and acting. The Board of Construction of the Navy Department evidently takes no stock in the fairy tales of Mr. McKinley and other republicans, concerning the future reduction of the government’s income by the repeal of the war taxes, as it is going ahead on a project for building additions to our Navy that will make it imperialistic in size, as well as in the class of vessels. This project involves the construction of no less than 40 warships. How much all this is to cost has not been given out. and, Of course, will not be until after election, but that it

will be enormous, is certain, and that if carried out, it will require an in-1 crease in taxation, instead of the reduction promised, is equally certain. Friends of Senator Sullivan, of Mississippi, say the suit for breach of promise of marriage, which has been tiled in Washington against him, by a Miss Leeton, who is a divorced woinau, contains many false allegations, and that the* woman really has no claim upon him. They say further that the suit wpuld not have been tiled, had not Senator Sullivan refused to buy the woman and her advisors off. Senator Sullivan is not in Washington, but his friends say that he will come out all right, when the case is tried in court. in addition to compelling republican voters employed by the government to go home and vote. A democratic capitol policeman said on this subject: “The tip has been given to the few democrats that are on the force, that it will be better for us not to go home to vote, and although the tip has been given out in the natur* of a suggestion, it has been construed by the men to whom it was given as a' threat, and has deterred several of us from going home to register. No circular has been sent to us, but the word ha9 been passed along to us by the republican members of the force, with the insinuation that it had come down from a pretty high source,”

WANAMAKER TALKS. Hoi .Shot Poured Into Itepublleans of Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Oct. 24.—In address at Huntington tonight before a vast J audience, ex-Postmarfter General John Wanamaker vigorously attacked the republican party in Pennsylvania. In the course of his address he said: “The time has gone by when the machine which has disgraced the name of the republican party in Pennsylvania can dictate to any self-re-specting man what is or w||at is not “regular.” The machine’s claim to the possession of the right to do this is as loudly made now as it ever was, but it is met with both indignation and ridicule where not so long ago it was listened to with fear. “The machine in Pennsylvania, though it flies the republican flag, is no more republican than Jeff Davis was. “If it is republican to stuff ballot boxes and carry elections by fraud, then is the machine republican, “If it is republican to so arrange the, burden of taxation that it shall rest lightly upon the rich corporations and heavily upon the poor farmer, then the machine is republican. “If it is republican to use the public funds as if they were the private capital of politicians, then is the ma

cnine repuoncan. "If it is republican to send men to the United States Senate, to represent the trusts and their own pockets, then the machine is republican. “If it is republican to organize the idleness, the degradation, the vice and. the crime of the community against its reputable elements, then is the machine republican. “If to debauch the politics of the state and degrade the government of a state to such a level as to make both a national offence and humiliation, then is the machine republican, but not otherwise.” To Cure a Cold in One Day. Take Warner's White Wine of Tar Syrup, the best cough remedy on earth. 25 and 50 cents. J. R. Adams & Son. * Lincoln vs. His Party. (October l, 1854. Speech at Springfield, 111. Collin, p. 145.i No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent. When the white man governs himself that i is self-government: bub, when he governs himself and also governs another man—then that is more than self-gov-ernment—that is despbtasm. (.June 13, 18l>3, Letter to Corning— Barrett, p. 032.) The man who stands by and says nothing when the peril of his government is discussed cannot be misunderstood. If not hindered, he is sure to help the enemy: much more, if he talks ambiguously—talks for his country with “buts and ifs and ands.” 'December 0, 1804. x\nnual Message —Raymond, p. 029.) It seems quite clear that the treasury cannot be successfully conducted unless the government can exercise a restraining power over the bank-note circulation of the country.

I Roosevelt** Opinion of Laboringmen On page 2$>5 of the September, 18%, j jssue of Reviews, Theodore Roosevelt, in discussing the American union workingman, made the following statement: “The men who object I TO WHAT THEY STYLE ‘GOVERNMENT by. injunction’ are, as regards the j e&sential principles of government, ' in hearty sympathy with their re- !

Owen, democratic candidate for congress, was in the city Monday evening making the acquaintance of Petersburg citizens. The colonel made a good impression with all whom he met. He is a social and genial fellow aud makes friends with | all whom he meets. He is a splendid ! mixer. He is well pleased with the | outlook for his election in this dis- | trict and is receiving great en- | couragement from the voters of all | political parties.

It is really amusing' to see money | lenders tackle farmers and talk prosperity and confidence into their ears, and ask them to vote for McKinley for the reason that it will make the interest rate higher. The farmer and laboringma® want more money and the more the better. The money lender wants less money for the reason that it will make the rate of interest higher.
