The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1894-10-31
VOTERS OF FOREST COUNTY.

The second year of Democratic
control of the legislative and execu.
tive departments of the the United
States Government has nearly passed
away, and the time when we shall
have 40 opportunity of showing our
approval or disapproval of the course
pursued by the party in power, by
our votes, and to decide whether they
shall continue in control of both
branches of Congress, is almost at
hand. Let every voter carefully con-
slider what has been done by the par.
ty in power in the past two years.
Let him Dote the effect upon the bus.
iness Of the country. Let him com.
pare his present condition and pros.
poets with his condition and pros.
poets of two years ago, and then let
him ask himself if he is satisfied that
the party at present in power, shall
continue so for two years more, with.
out restraining hand. Every one
who has read the papers, knows the
history of the country during the
past two years. As soon as the par.
ty of Free Trade assumed the reins of
Government and began tinkering
with the tariff. feeling of uneasiness
began to be felt by the business men
of the country. Every one is famil.
lar with the story of the extreme bus.
mess depression that came upon US
with the accession to power of the
Free Traders; of the strikes and
lockouts; of the shutting down of
mills, factories and other industries,
because of the fear and distrust of
the Democratic party, which even
upon the passage of the German Act
has not been dispelled, for manufac.
turers know that if the Free Trade
party is continued in power they may
look for tariff reductions of a still
more sweeping character, as vouched
for By VIM. l.. Wilson in his speech
before the London Chamber of Com.
merce, when he assured them that the
German bill was only the entering
wedge. A few years since, laborers
could say, II will work for so much :"
to-day he says, How much can l
get." The Democratic papers and
campaign speakers tell you that dol.
lar will buy more than formerly--so
1t will; but one thing l want to i'm.
press upon you; You cannot import
cheap foreign goods and at the same
time expect American manufacturers
to pay you big wages. Take your
choice but if you want good wages
you must pay a fair price for labor's
products. This is for you to deter.
mine. Have you had enough of tar.
i'll tinkeringl If so elect Republican
congressman as to secure this branch
of the Government, is our only hope.
We invite voters of all shades of DO.
iitiosl opinion to join us in bringing
about this result. We are all Amer
leans and no voter should be so
bound TO party that he would vote
against his own interests. Vote
for W. c. Arnold. Our can.
didate for State Senate, Mr.. Craig, is
a man very popular in his own coun.
ty and should receive large vote in
Forest county. From present indi.
cations he has very good chance Of
election. Mr.. Craig is a gentleman
who by long experience in business in
this section is thoroughly acquainted
with the needs of the people and
could represent them intelligently.
OF the County ticket it is unneoessa.
ry to speak, each of the candidates
are well known to you aud the esteem
they are held in by their neighbOr:
at their respective homes, is the besi
evidence of the character of the gen
tlemen aud of their fitness for the
various offices to which they aspire
l trust that every Republican will
turn in with a right good will anG
belp to elect the candidates on our
ticket from top to bottom, by tn,
largest majOrities ever given in For
est county.
