Story Of the Letter Wheat Deal.

The greatest lesson to be gained
from the calamitous ending of the
Letter wheat deal is the establishment,
anew of the fact that the time has not
arrived in the history of this country
when unrestrained ambition may con-
troll that which in any part
goes into its national. commercial
or agricultural greatness. The Young
Chicago Spectator has wasted a year
Of labor and anxiety in irving to
corner the fruits of toll and control
the staff of life. He has barely tasted
the sweets of qualification, to have
it snatched from him because
he held the tempting cup to
his lips too long. The story of the
Letter wheat deal is briefly told as
follows:
First wheat bought April :. 1897, at 7O's cents
Lowest price paid for any wheat in the deal.
81 cents. June ~ 1880.
Price advanced to Sl.S5. Nav 10 1895

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-10-24

-FOUR or nVe Independent Republican
newspapers and several labor papers
were supporting jerks. Mr.. Johnson,
in his long experience as an editor, had
never known the Democratic newspa-
pers to be so well united as at present
for jerks. He specified The Record
and Pttsburg Dispatch as doing ex-
oellent work for better state govern
ment. These journals and the county
newspapers, he said, contained abund-
ant material for the Democratic and
independent speakers throughout the
state. The $50 Democratic newspapers
of the state never did better or more eff
fective work than they are now doing.
CARAVANS APPEAL TO LIEUTEN-
ANTS.
In closing the meeting Chairman
Garman said that so large a meeting
of representative Democrats as this
should demonstrate not only that the
party was thoroughly united, but also
that its members felt certain of victory.
He urged that every county chairman
should divide all the Democrats into
blocks-"blocks of five" would do-and
have a trustworthy man to bring each
block to the polls. By this means the
Democrats could sweep the state with
out a single Republican vote. Mr.
Garman said he had Impressed upon the
mind of every chairman the necessity
of having every Democratic voter call
ed upon personally by a responsible
worker.
Governor Pattison, ex-Attorney Cen
eral Hensel and other eminent speakers
will be heard from frequently on the
stump from now on. over 200 speakers
will be at work within a week in all the
counties. The candidates will speak
every day and evening. There is Dem
ocratic victory in the air.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-10-24

as there is every reason TO peneve they
will be, and should the Quay machine
continue in power at the state capital.
The pardon board is composed of the
attorney general and secretary of the
commonwealth, appointed by the gov
ernor; the lieutenant governor and the
secretary of internal affairs, who will
be elected this fall. Does any sane man
believe that the nominees on the Re-
publican ticket for the last two places
named, Goblin and Latta, the obedient
servants of Quay in all things, and the
other two members of the pardon board
who would be appointed by the Quay
governor to act with them, would re-
fuse the demand for immediate re-
lease, If the Peoples bank defendants
should be behind prison walls? And
not only in such a case but in all
others of like character, the pardon
hoard. under machine control, would
be subservient to the master and would
do whatever was demanded of it sooner
or later. OF this there can be no man
ner of doubt. The people of this great
state are not vindictive; they believe
in Justice to all men, high and low, but
they are profoundly convinced that the
power of the political machine should
not be permitted to interfere with the
administration of justice. 1t is, there
fore, their privilege and their duty to
see to 1t that the state government.
when the day of reckoning comes,
shall not be controlled by those whose
interest 1T may be to mock the courts
and to defy the popular will. The par
don board must not pass into the hands
of men who may be tempted and COM
manded, as others before them in like
position were, to violate their oaths
of office and to say that those duly
convicted of high crime shall not be
punished, because the power which
they serve is stronger than that lodged
within the organization of the state
government itself. With George A.
jerks in the executive chair there
would be no prostitution of the powers
of the pardon board, or of any other
department of the state government.
No man has ever been before the peo-
pie of Pennsylvania who was more
thoroughly imbedded in the funda-
mental principles of honest govern
ment. His administration would be
wise, just, economical, safe and hon
orable throughout and his associates
on the state ticket are all abundantly
worthy of the united support of the
honest citizenship of the common
wealth. With such man for governor,
and faithful Sowden, heroic DeLacy,
and two honest untrameled and trust
worthy associates in the pardon board,
its motto would be the courageous in
junction of the greatest soldier of the
union armies, when, as president, re-
ferring to the betrayal of trust by Belk-
nap and others, he patrotically and
firmly declared, LET no guilty man es-
camel" No public malefactor, no mat
ter how high his position, the measure
of his influence or the strength of his
political pull" would be permitted to
break the laws with impunity, defy the
courts. and escape the just conse-
quence of his wrongdoing."
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-10-24
LOOK TO THE PARDON BOARD
The Duty of Honest Citizens in the Present
Crisis Clearly and Vigorously
Pointed Out - ''Let No
Guilty Man Escapen
Guilty Man Escape"

There are many things the people OF
Pennsylvania should bear in mind at
this time At the jerks and reform
mass meeting at Jenl<intown on Tues
day last Edwin K. Hart, the well
known independent Republican editor
of Philadelphia, spoke as follows:
'There is one point rising in the minds
of the people of Pennsylvania at this
time of great Importance, and under
the circumstances full of suggestive
ness. There is no page in the history
which records the action of the pardon
board in defeating the ends of justice
in connection with the riot bill con-
spirators of 20 years ago. The average
citizen has no conception of what was
going on at that time, out of sight of
the public, but the terrific pressure
brought to bear in behalf of justly con-
victed men was only indicative of the
tremendous power exercised by the po-
litical machine, and which at that time
did not begin to compare in strength
and general ViciouSneSs with what 1t Is
today. influential men in every depart
ment of political, business and social
life were dragooned into indorsing the
unrighteous demand for the instant
release of the notorious William II.
Kemble and his co-partners in shame
1t surely will, in case the men charged
with criminal wrongdoing in relation to
the state treasury should be convicted.

that Mr.. jerks will get every Demo-

MYERS ON SURPRISING DIsCOv-
ERIES.
Swallow carried my county by
1900 last year" said B. F. Meyers, of
Dauphin. He received a large number
of Democratic votes then. He will
hardly get one Democratic vote now,
where he got seven last year. But there
Will be large shrinkage in the Repub-
lican vote. The votes lost for Stone will
be divided between jerks and Swallow.
The feeling against the machine be-
cause of its miserable record, and the
fractional fights, are having a good ef-
feet for Mr.. jerks. / think on election
day 1t will be shown that Dauphin
county will repudiate It's title of the
seat of corruption
Il would surprise you were to name
some of the reputable business and pro-
fesional men of Dauphin who are qui-
city yet actively working for Mr.. jerks.
The number of such men would also
surprise you. AS to the state generally.
I believe Mr.. jerks will poll 45O. 900
Democratic votes, or enough to elect
him. The great number of independ-
ent votes he receives over that figure
Will constitute a handsome majority"
Ex-Congressman John b. Storm, of
Monroe. back in the party harness with
renewed vigor, said: "Out of a popu-
lation of 10000, of whom 1000 are vot-
ers, Monroe county will give jerks a
majority of 2,000 Swallow will cut no
figure this year. I believe the honest
people are so thoroughly aroused this
year that they will effectually wipe out
that band of robbers and thieves at
Harrisburg"
GUFFEY NEVER SAW BETTER
SIGNS.
Colonel ]. NJ Guffey was cheered
when the chairman called uron him. "In
this contest" he said, I'VE find a badly
divided Republican party, thoroughly
united and harmonious Democratic
party. This condition abounds in every
county of the state. The Democrats Of
Pennsylvania need do but one thing in
this contest-let us be what we arc
When we analyze the Democratic vote
for the past 15 years, consider the fac
tional difficulties we have gone through
and the unquestioned effect they have
had in preventing us from getting out
our full vote; then turn to the present
perceving no factional disputes, every
one working in the cause of common
honesty, the outlook is indeed enoour-
aging. / have never in my political ex-
perience found the Democratic organiz-
alton so well aroused, united, aggres-
sive and earnest as it is just now"
UNITED IN SCHUYLKLL.
]. w. Meyer, of Schuylkill, said: 1--WE
are solidly united. Our party was never
in better shape. The Republicans are
divided Many of them are working
with our organization. We will elect
our congressman against the sitting
Republican member, Mr.. Brumm, anti
Quay assemblymen and a full county
ticket"
Equally encouraging reports were
made by Seth Mccormick of Lycoming
county; Jere Zeamer of Cumberland; !;
]. ]. Vanderslice of Columbia James b.
Moorhead of Westmoreland; Edward
Homer Bailey of Cambria county, and
w. r. Brinton of Lancaster.
