He PAYS FOR ALL.
The Workingmans interest in the Pending
contest-Why he should vote for Ienks
and Reform and do his level best to
down the Republican Machine.

No class of our citizens are more
deeply interested in the election of the
Democratic state ticket than the work
ingmen. The Republican admins
tratlon is squeezing $4,000, 1000 an
nually out of its taxables for state pur
poses, and will have to squeeze good
deal more unless machine extrava-
gances and steals are speedily check
ed. 1t IS true that d considerable
share of this money comes from the
corporations. But in the final reck.
oning the people pay it, as they pay
all taxes, however levied, unless it is
an income tax. which the Republican
party will not permit to be levied.
Ex-Governor Pattison used to be wise
ly fond of telling his hearers that if
an additional tax is put upon a rail-
road company the company adjusts
its freights and fares accordingly, if
upon any article of consumption, the
dealer fixes his scale of prices to suit.
And this is always and inexorably
true. The people must have found
out from their experience with the war
taxes who must pay them and that es
cape from payment is impossible.
The people must pay the more than
five million dollars annual increase in
the cost of the state government that
has been piled up since we last had a
Democratic House of Representatives
and Democratic Governor in 1883.
They must pay the $4,000 biennial
agricultural department steal, the
$I24,ooo banking department steal,
and all the other steals of greater or
lesser magnitude. The corporations
do not pay them; they are merely the
Intermediates in the payment.
By the close of 1898 the four years
term of Governor Hastings will have
expended, in round figures, $4,000
900. The receipts meanwhile have
been $4S,ooo,ooo. But there was a
surplus of $4,ooo,ooo left over from
last year OF Governor Pattison's term.
A simple calculation will show that
that has been exhausted and that the
machine treasury managers will still
be $4,000, 900 in hole. The people,
the common people, the business men
and the workingmen, will have to pay
the additional taxes that will be i'm.
posed to cover this deficiency, though
they may be levied nominally upon
the corporations.
The old English ale house sign Of
"The Five Ais" applies always and
everywhere:
The king-"I rule all"
The preacher-'I pray for ALL"
The lawyer-T plead for ALL"
The soldier-"I fight for ALL"
The workingman-'T pay for all"

Columbia County Veteran Association.

Orangeville was the scene of a
large gathering Of people last Sat
urday, the occasion being the third
annual reunion of the Columbia
County Veteran Association. Sew
eral thousand people were present.
The arrangements were in charge
of Capt H. J. Conner and H. c.
Conner, and everything went off
in fine style. The parade was
formed on Main street, and marched
to the upper end of town, then
countermarched, and went up to
the Academy grounds, where in
teresting speeches were made by
Rev. A. Houtz, Rev. J. D. Smith,
Thomas Howe, Lieut.. R. K. Polk,
Democratic candidate for Congress,
James Scarlet, Esq, Republican
candidate for Judge, Major I. H.
Seesholtz and others.
The procession was headed by
Col. A. D. Seely, Of Berwick.
There were about two hundred
veterans in line. Excellent music
was furnished by the Berwick,
Catawissa and Benton bands, and
drum corps. One pleasing feature
Of the occasion was created by
Lieut.. Polk and William H. Woodin,
opposing candidates for Congress,
marching side by side in the pro-
cession. Lieut.. Polk was in uni
form, being in the service of the
United States.
John G. McHenry, the active and
efficient Democratic County Chair
man, was present, looking after the
interests of the party. H. A.
M'Killip, Esq, Republican County
Chairman, himself candidate for
the Legislature, was also present,
circulating among the people.
Lieut.. Polk arrived in a carriage
from Bloomsbury, about ten o'clock,
accompanied by Register and Re-
corder c. B. Ent and his two little
sons handsomely dressed in blue
military uniforms, and DR.. T. c.
Harter. Polk's headquarters were
at Turner's hotel, and very soon
after he arrived Polk badges were
more numerous than Woodin
badges, though Mr.. Woodin had
several hours the start of Lieut..
Polk, having arrived early in the
morning. Mr.. Woodin had his
headquarters in room on Main
street. Though there was strong
rivalry between the candidates the
best of feeling prevailed all day
between the opposing parties.
Good meals were served at a |
reasonable price by the ladies of
the several churches of the town.

sociation Mr.. Demott was elected

Admits the Rascality.

John Wanamaker telling tales out
of the Republican school of Quay
ism, has caused John P. Elkin, Chair
man of the Republican State Com
mlttee, to reply to the former Post
master General; and now the "ket-
tie calling the pot black" campaign
is on. Up to date, however, Wana,
maker is in the lead. Elkins, if he
wishes to convince the independent
voters that Wanamaker Is wrong,
must either hire some one else to
write his letters, or must pursue diff
terent line of argument.
In his letter to Mr.. Wanamaker,
Elkins, in his effort to uphold the
" established rules and customs of his
party" with reference to paying extra
employees of the Legislature large sal
aries and using the money paid by
favored banks for campaign purposes,
virtually aamiks that tie eUils COM
planned ab0m BY Mr.. WANAMAKER
ARE TRUE AND CORRECT. AS these
two corrupt practices, with many 9TH
ers, have caused the opposition against
Quayism to reach its present magni-
tude, these admissions of Elkins will
not be palatable reading. Surely the
Quay supporters have reason to ex-
claim, after reading their chairman's
reply, "God save us from Elkins'
letter writing. -L0ck Raven Demo-
erak.

THOMAS COLLINS DEAD.
Famous as Railroad Contractor and Iron
Manufacturer.

Thomas Collins,the famous railroad
contractor and iron manufacturer,
died at his home at Bellefonte last Sun
day after an illness of only two weeks.
The direct cause of his death was
gangrene and consequent blood pois-
oning.
Thomas Collins was Irish by de.
scent and was one OF six brothers who
formed copartnership, and with the
big Three" Philip, Thomas and
Peter, who were thus styled because
of their immense stature, each man
standing over six feet in his stockings,
always in the lead, sought fortune
through honest toll.
In their work as contractors the
Collins brothers Phillip, Thomas and
Peter, made and lost several large for
tunes, but the most disastrous blow
was met with in South America. Early
In 1877 the Big Three secured the
contract from the English Govern
ment for the building of the Madeira
& Mamore Railroad in Brazil. With
cargo of supplies, railroad IRON and
several hundred workmen they left
Philadelphia on the Metropolis. When
off Cape Hatteras the vessel encount-
cred hurricane and was wrecked,
going to the bottom with everything
on board, few OF the workmen and
crew escaping to tel the tale of hor-
ror.
The three brothers escaped and,
nothing daunted by the severe loss
sustained in the destruction of their
vessel, at once set about to carry out
their contract. The Richmond, an
other large vessel, was chartered, and
with another load ofsupphes and 437
workmen on board, departure for the
South was made late in the Fall of
1877. One year or more was spent
IN the tropics Of Brazil, year depict,
ed as one of untold sufferings by all.
The work was being pushed as rapid
ly as possible, when the English Gov
ernment refused payment, and the
Collins quit work. Rich men when
they went South they came home
penniless.
Though railroad building was the
chief object in the lives OF the Collins
Brothers, their thoughts at times turn
ed in other directions. The establish
ment of the Philadelphia Times was
the original idea of Thomas Collins.
In 1871 he decided to enter the field
of journalism, and with his brother
Phillip, started the Times as penny
paper. The venture did not prove
the success anticipated and he soon
sold out his interest.
Politically the Collins all have been
Democrats, but as a politician Tho.
mas Collins figured more prominently
perhaps, than any of his brothers.
While residing in Schuylkill County
he was elected to the Legislature,
serving in the session of IS57-'s8.
He was national delegate to the
Chicago convention which nominated
Cleveland in 1892. In 1896 he was
nominated by the reconvened Demo-
cratic State convention for Congress
man-at-large, but suffered defeat with
the rest of the ticket at the November
election.
The Collins Brothers were the con-
tractors for the North & West Branch
R. R., and completed 1t. They lived
here at the Exchange Hotel most of
the time while the work was going on.
