A NIL Err POETS APPEAL 10
CLEARFTELD..
Clearfield's sons, those tons and tons
OF coal are waiting for you,
To get your price take my advice,
Twill g rely see you through;
IT'S like men, join hand and Land
Each minel of that region,
Like Georges Greek united stick
For sixty-five per ton.
We done it here, and don't you fear,
My boys, that you can do it,
And you Ito iher, s very few
Ofvou will ever rue it.
Don't never finch, or give an inch,
Or from your demands run,
And YOU can bet you'll surely get
Your sixty-tive per ton.
II is shame to have name
of men who have no pluck,
You, miners, there, have had your share
OF this kid of bad luck
Some were good and molly stood
Their ground, a d they have won
The confidence of men of sense,
Who get sixty-tive per ton.
Just hold it out, let bosses spout
And do their level best,
What ire they but birds of prey
Who from you right would wrestf
Boys, act square, and don't you scare,
Now don't think Fin IN fun,
For l, indeel, do think you need
Your sixty-five per ton.
Yes, indeed, you surely need
A stirring-up in Clearfield,
Tie demand is great for coal of late
To strike they'd surely yield;
So, boys, just make noble break,
And don't you be outdone,
And if you stick you'll sing a pick
For sixty.fve per ton.
what's the use 10 star q abuse
When it can he avoided?
Ask for your right and for it fight,
And you will be az plauded
By all good men, who Fl ud that when
You will not be imposed en-,
Will see you through, each one OF you,
For slxty-tive per ton.
Yes, boys, you know the pric y is low
For digging your coal there,
The market price IS very nice
But your pay is not square;
Just look at us, we b al no fuss,
We came out and we won,
Our shoveis ring, our picks we sling
For sixty-fve per ton.
1t is no play to dig away
In mines from morn to night,
And it isn't square, just or fair
To bar you from whats night;
So make stand, like Maryland,
Each good old mothers son,
And as l live they're bound to give
You sixty-five per ton,
1t is no task, for you to ask
Your rights as honest workmen,
You'll never lose, they may refuse,
But they have done 1t often;
And If they find you are inclined
To unite in your region,
The III br saiistiet, you gratified
With sixty-fve ton.
You know as well as can tell
That sixty-five per ton
Is little pay TO work away
From Gods brisht glorious sun;
But still the price is very nice,
And with i you can live on,
Ask for 1t liz en-, you Clcarficld men,
And drop fifty cent per ton.

The Democratic Campaign Book.

The Democratic campaign book is
very well edited, and besides a careful
review of the policy of the Republican
party contains material from the records
of the Forty. y.seyenth Congress relating
to the responsibility of the majority in
the treatment of our citizens abroad,
the Hubbell assessments, corruption of
the civil service, an excessive taxation
and extravagant appropriations. 1t
charges the Republicans with centrali-
zation and Imperialism and the protec
ton of monopolies, contrasting the
spirit of the party with the theory Of
the Democratic party for government
for the people and by and for the peo-
pie. The Forty seventh Congress, says
the book, though not showing upon
the face of its acts a partisan legisla-
ton, exhibits to an analytical view the
conflict of fundamental principles of
government upon which the rival par
ties are arrayed. The Republican party
is business machine, ambitious to put
its stamp on every citizens private af'
fairs. The issue is liberty, local self
government, honest civil service, pro-
lection of labor against Capitalization,
protection of monopoly, oppressive
taxation, corruption and degradation
of labor. The distinctive features OF
the two parties are reviewed at length
The contested elections and Speaker
Keifer's rulings are also fully treat.

Folger, present secretary of the Treas
ury, was nominated for governor of
New York, by the republican conven-
ton of that state last week. He is
Arthur's man, and his nomination was
effected by means of forged proxy,
which captured the state committee and
through It the organization. There is
much dissatisfaction and strong talk of
boiling,
Ga the other hand, the Democrats
have nominated Grover Cleveland and
the party is united, the county Demo
craey, Tammany and Irving Hall each
having representation in the conven-
ton. Among the resolutions adopted
is the following
In the nomination of the Secretary
of the Treasury for Governor of New
York, by which, in effect, candidate
for the Chief Magistracy OF the State
was appointed by the President, we see
a fresh and impressive proof of the dan
gerous power of public patronage, and
urged by this alarming spectacle, pro
test against Federal Intervention in
State elections and repeat our demand
of 1881 for a reform and purtication OF
the civil service.

The Wilkesblrre Union Leader, the
leading Democratic paper of Luzerne
county, refuses to support the ticket
nominated by the county conven-
tion last week, on the ground that the
nominations were obtained by unlawful
means. If it has satisfactory evidence
that such is the case, the Union Leader
is just right in the position it takes,
and will be sustained and commended
by all honest people. The time has
passed when party papers were expected
TO wink at fraud within their lines. If
the Democracy expects to be entrusted
with power ever again, it must show
that it can and win expose and punish
fraud committed by those who ask
to be placed in Office, aud this can be
done only through the medium Of its
party organs. The law forbids the use
of money, except as provided, in all
election and nominating conventions,
and no honest journal can afford to
permit the violation of these laws to go
unnoticed, no matter where the light
ming may strike. The Union Leader
should not stop al this, but see to il
that every offender is punished to the
fullest extent of the law.

One of the most remarkable features
of the census of 1880 is to be found in
the fact that out of a foreign popula-
ton of 6,679, ,943, there were only lO6,-
971 Frenchman. 1t has long been
known, as a general rule, that the
French are not migrating race, never
theless the friendship existing between
France and America has always been
so close and strong that it was really
surprising to find our French population
so limited.

Where the Democrats Stand.
FROM A SPEECH DELIVERED IN LOCK
HAVEN, SEPTEMBER IL, BY NJ. y.
ELLIOT, DEMOCRATIC CAN
DiDATE FOR CONGRESS
MAN. AT-LARGE

The Democratic party has declared
in its platform that it is in favor of
protecting American industries and l
say it from my heart--and by this ex
pect to stand-that / am in favor of
such tariff as will effect justly the
employer and employee. AS Penn
sylvanian l am in favor Of protecting
Pennsylvania's industries, not for the
benefit of the manufacturer alone, but
for the benefit of the laborer as well
and the people in general. ! don't
want Simon Cameron to say, and he
cannot truthfully say, that one man on
the Democratic ticket is averse to pro
tecting the industries Of this State.
These are my convictions; / have al.
ways expressed them and expect to re-
tain them.

James H. Hopkins, an ex Congress

men.

President Arthur is in worry what
to do with Secretary Folger. After
Folger, was nominated by the republi-
cans of New York, through the mani
pulatiors of Jay Gould, the administra-
tion expected him to resign his position
as Secretary of the treasury. Folger does
not propose to resign his Secretaryship
for the uncertainty of becoming Cover
nor of New York. This will set aside
President Arthur's calculations, as he
expected to use Secretary Folgers re-
signation as a pretext and re-arrange
his cabinet for political purposes.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1882-09-29

The Independent move is booming
all over the State, while the cause of
the Stalwarts is beginning to lag. The
present indications are that Stewart
will poll a larger vote than Beaver.
Al all events the election of Pattison
is almost certainty. Nothing but the
indifference or treachery of Democrats
can defeat him. The Democrat who
votes for anybody else for Governor,
or fails to vote at all, is traitor to
his party, and not fit to exercise the
rights of citizenship.
