Then it was earnestly and cnmprehen-

The workman, looking up very IN

"That is mighty prettyl Should think

What is the expense Of such an arti

"Only dollar fifty" responded the
agent, dilating upon the bargain there
was in the value offered for such q
small amount of cash.
"Wonld yon rather have 81 SO than

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1879-10-29
To The Voters of Forest County

Republicans, wish to say a few
plain words to you through the medium
of our county organ:
One year ago we were battling with
all our strength against the soft money
greonback craze, and in favor Of
honest money, specie resumption, and
the payment of the national obliga'
tions. We stood shoulder to shoulder,
with our faces to the enemy, our trust
being in the justice of our cause, and
we sUOn. We won, with all the dis
couraging circumstances of depression
of business, unremunerative labor,
shrinkage of values and the discomfort
of the labotihg class. All these we
had to contend with, and yet the vic.
tory was ours. Resumption is a fixed
fact; business is booming; prices are
advancing; labor is remunerative, and
honest labor can find its reward. The
"Ohio Idee" is laid in its new made
grave never to be resurrected.
.Workingmen, don't be deceived and
made to believe that the resumption
of specie payments is a fraud and a
snare, and that the gaunt spectre, Want,
has departed for short season to re.
turn after the November election.
Fellow laborers Will you be longer
mislead by designing and unscrupu.
lous men whose only aim is selfag.
grandizement, power, and love of of
fee. believe that you will univer.
sally stand by the old Republican
party which has done more for the la.
boring man, and for the country than
all other parties and iSms combined
since the foundation Of the Govern.
ment.
Why act and vote against your best
interests2 The Republican party has
always stood by its friends, and will
continue to do so under all and any
circumstances. Therefore, 1 say to
every Republican in Forest county to
vote the entire Republican ticket solid
Do not be deceived by Greenbackers,
Democrats, or weakened Republi-
cans into voting for any man whose
name is not inscribed upon the Repub.
lican Banner.
Let every man who looks forward
to Republican Victory in 1880 come
out to the polls on Tuesday next, ana
cast his ballot for Samuel Butler, Lewis
Arner, Samuel D. Irwin, j. H. Cook
and John Hunter; all good men,
honest and true.

Chairman Rep. Co. Com.

no doubt encouraged him to venture
these last even more absurd questions.
In the first place we wish to ask
him If he does not know that tile Sec
fetary of the Treasury hasno authority
to buy bonds until Congress permits
him Second, if he will consult any of
his daily exchanges he will discover
that the six per cent. bonds are quoted
at 5ic. premium. Now let the gov
ernment become the purchaser ofthose
bonds and what will be the effect +?
Why to nearly double the amount Of
premium, as any school boy knows.
Whereas, by allowing them TO run
another year they can be called in
without any additional expense to the
government.
Will the eminent financier of the
National please show us where and
how the government would save any.
thing by such trausactionP just 80
are all his propositions. He seems to
labor under the impression that no
matter bow absurd or fabulous a ques-
tion he may ask, the people of Forest
county are such fools as to take it for
granted that such state of affhirs
really exists. Not so, Doctor. The
people are not such hopeless imbeciles
as you would like to make them out.

National Conundrums.
E. L. DAVIS,
Chairman Rep. Co. Com.

The political editor ofthe Greenback
personal organ has delivered himself
Of eleven profound questions-no
doubt borrowed, as usual, from some
central greenback junta-for the RE.
PUBLICAN to answer. When you
become less facetious and more in.
clined to an honest seeker after truth,
and less of the demagogue and really
wish to enlighten your readers, we
will gladly answer, so far as lies in
our power, any and all political ques-
tions tending to shat end; but out of
the eleven interrogatories, commenc.
ing with the first untruthful and
absured one of "having inflated the
currency during the war so that it
very nearly represented the national
debt in the hands of the people,
without interest, what made the gov
ernment change it into interest pay
ing bonds, ITO the l1th, there is not one
with any reason, or truth in it, and that
has not been explained, or exploded,
in the campaign of 1878 in every
school house in the county, to the
entire satisfaction of every intelligent
voter, unless it be the editor of the
National himself. The absurdity of
nOaO asking such questions, why bonds
are taxless? Why National banks
were established? Why silver was
demonetized2 How many tramps and
bankrHpts have these crimes made
ETC., etc, is manifest on the face Of it.
These and questions Of like nature are
like the greenback party, exploded
passed away like dew before the
morning sun. But if the editor of the
National really needs to be enlighten
ed on these several points, Owe know
his readers do not) we Will do SO whe1
space and time are at our command
Two weeks ago he published al
elaborate proposition showing hoy
much the government would save b,
using the surplus gold in the treasury
in buying up the 6 per cent. bonds
lie went on to state that by so doinj
the premium would only be increased
about One-fourth of a cent, whicl
would be better than paying the 6 pc
cent. at maturity. We thought th

way that astonished them. And this
year they resolved that resumption
was failure, aud the result is re-
corded. The ill.fated democrats will
next year probably resolve that life.is
a failure and exemplify it in their
political fate.
Senator Blaine is recovering his
voice, and will be heard in New York

A FULL Republican vote in Forest
county was never more important
than now. A cotemporary we'll says
that the election of 1879 is the pre-.
liminary battle to that of 1880, and
involves in itself the fate ofnext years
contest. Let all Republicans vote,
this year, as if this were really the
Presidential election; and ignoring
all merely personal considerations and
appeals, cast their votes in accordance
with their wishes as to the political
result next year. This is not a time
to be indulging in personal likings OF
dislikings. A great national question
is at issue. We are this year on the
skirmish line of a great battle and
the men arrayed against us are the
men to overcome, not to parley with
and give advantages to. Vote the
straight ticket, from State TREASURED
to Coroner. There is not a man on i
but that is just as good personally
and a great deal better politically
than any of the opposition candidates

VOTERS Of Forest county, before
depositing your ballot next Tuesday,
ask yourself these questions: Who is
the laboring mans candidate for Asso-
ciate Judge? Who IS the man who
has worked hard all his life; is hard
worker to-day, and expects to be as
long as health and strength permit ?
who is in full sympathy with the
honest laborer Who is it that is
struggling hard to gain an honest
livelihood for himself and family, and
is most deserving of the office and help
of the people =? Is it Lewis Arner
Then vote for him. Greenbackers and
Iaboring men let not politics bias or
induce you to vote against the very
principles you advocate-the aiding of
the honest laboriug man. Be consist.
