Popes Ras ee ne t GERMANS SPEAK. THEY TELL WHY THEY SUPPORT HARRISON FOR PRESIDENT. Some Important Suggestions Which Every German Voter Will Read—Views of Many Prominent Germ=:-..merican Cit- izens. The following letter addressed to “all voters of German descent” has been is- sued by a large number of leading Ger- man-American citizens of New York: Recognizing the great commercial and in- dustrial importance of the approaching presi- dential election to our adopted fathe: i . the Republican best interests of to further German « ® commit standard bearers of that active connection with polit and business men who perity of this country i: mercial policy of the consider it our duty to gi sion to ourconvic theories of the fre substantial basis in fact. The Republican party has, true to itsSiradi- tions, declared itself for the protection of our industries and for Lonest mo: The Demo- cratié party has declared itself for unlimited free trade and fora return to that da system o1 state banks which in times were chiefly injured by that sy these men who will be injured if it is reintro. duced. Both free trade and protection have been sufficiently tested. The direct c the free trade legislation ed decline in our national prosperity, wii culminated in the great commercial of 1837. Protection took the place of the tariff for revenue only; the country recovere merce and industry thrived, till in 1st tariff was again reduced and the terrible p: of 1857 was the result. Again the peop the United States declared for protection, The consequence was a development of all our national resources beyond the wildest expec- tation and a general pr world had never seen before. When Grover Cleveland, true to the reac- tionary principles of the Democratic part clared himself for free trade in his me Dec. 6, 1887, the people, mindful of the periences wi ie in the past free trade, rejected the Democratic pari again intrusted the goverument of th to the Rep Never was the tous as now; nev whole country so genera earners so well off.

Not ouly has Mr. Cleveland been untrue to all his pledss of re- form, but as a matter of fact he has ever yielded to the worst elements of his party whenever his personal interests were at stake, and in this very cam in the closest possi Hail.

Roebr. cerbar rger, Go: The Australian ballot which now pre- vails in nearly every state except those of the south is not popular with farmers and workingmen, and has thus kept thou- sands of Republicans away from the polls. The Republican leaders should at once establish Australian ballot schools, so that every Republican voter may be at the polis and vote intelligently. Business men should remember that a vote for Cleveland means a vote to chanze the general business system of the country, and will certainly result in great business mncertaintics and irregularities for the next four years. Democratic success mears Democratic control of senate, house and presidency, and full reign of the fre’ trade sentiment. If your business has been built up dur- ing the past thirty years a change in the tariff system under which it has prospered would at Ieast result in great uncertain- ties and irregularities in the next four years. Your vote and that of your ac- quaintances may decide the condition of. your businc-s in the near future. Republicans should remember that in five states having seventy-five electoral votes a change of 1 per cent. of the votes will reverse the result of 1888 in thuse tates, : . SWORN TO SHED BLOOD. AN EX-BRIGAND TRAVELS 4,000 MILES TO COMMIT MURDER. tis Awfol Secret Gets Out—The Threats are Cabled From Italy and the Authori- ties stand Ready to Prevent the Would. Be Assassin Landing. Sworn to kill his brother-in-law at any cost, ex brigand Sebastiano Mattassea is sailing on the Italian steamer Iniaziatina, of tue Floria line, bound for New York. But he will be arrested the moment the ste:mer anchors and sent back to Italy. The man Mattassea has sworn to kill is Dominico Quaino, a _ well-to-do cheese manufacturer, in Sullivan county, N. Y. Two years ago Mattassea wes on trial at Naples for having stabbed arival for the affections of a notorious weman, and the officers of the law com- pelled Quaino, then in the country, to testify against the blood-thirsty prisoner, who was sentenced to two years’ impris- oument. In the interval Quaino came to America and established himself in busi- no When Mattassea stepped out of on two months ago instead of celebra- ting his freedom in the proper way he openly boasted he was to sail for Amer- ica and kill Quaino for having dared to appear as witness against him. For- |tunately for the victim Mattassea’s threats were loud enough to reach the ears of certain friends, and, like the true, stupid brigand that he was, Mattassea forgot about the lightning rapidity of the ocean cable. Amid the cheese that cumbered his prosperous store Quaino was startled to receive a telegraphic message from friends in Italy warning him of the bri- gand’s departure. It was a quiet hint and this Italian cheese manufacturer had be- come Americanized enough to act quickly and sensibly, So, instead of putting a fine edge on his dagger to receive the illustrious Mattassea in brigand fashion, the che se merchant informed Colonel Weber, Commissioner of Immigration, “O, don’t worry,” said the colonel. “It’s all right. No ex-convicts are ad- mitted, so the oath willcome to naught.” When he arrives Mattassea will not find America to be the land of liberty that brigands fondly dream about. KILLED IN A WRECK. Fatal Collision on the Reading Railroad Near Manayunk. Seven persons were killed and twenty seriously injured, several perhaps fatally and fifteen others more or less severely, by a collision between the Shamokin ex- press, and a coal train at 9 o'clock Mon- day morning at a point midway between West Manayunk station and Roseglen on the Philadelphia & Reading Railruad. Orders had been given to the engineer of a northbound coal train to lay over at West Falls until the Shamokin express had passed. The engineer misunder- stood the order, and in consequence the coal train collided with the expreas at the north end of the West Manayunk tunnel. The two trains came together right on the curve with a terrible crash, and the shrieks of the dying and wounded could be heard above the crashing of timber and the noise of escaping steam. The express was comfortably filled with passengers, The mad en- gines literally plowed their way through each other and rolled over on their sides in one conglomerate mass of shat- tered machinery. 2 The greatest force of the collision oc- curred with the smoking car and passen- ger coach next to it, and the scene pre- sented here gives some indication of the speed at which the train was ‘ing and the terrific sock of the collision, The smoker telescoped its way into the other toach fully one-half its length, and how any one who was in either escaped death | is a mystery. The baggage car was literally smashed to kindling wood and thrown over on the north-bound track in a heap with the engines. It caught fire and was soon burned up. The next two cars kept the track, notwithstanding that they tele- scoped together and were almost demol- ished. i The next passenger coach and the icllman car were badly damaged, but mot to such an extent as to prevent their being drawn away from the rest of the train directly after the accident oc- curred, Except for scratches and bruises the passengers in the last two cars all escaped unhurt. The killed are: Thomag: Welsh, of Auburn, fireman of the express train; James Kilrain, twenty-three years, of ‘Tamaqua, brakeman on coal train; Frank Stief, of Reading, newsboy on ex- press train, killed in the baggage car; Mrs. Margaret Devine, aged sixty years, killed under stove on express train; Da- vid S. Herr, aged fifty-nine, member of the Legislature from Harrisburg; James Boynton, a machinist, of Reading; Annie Atchinson, aged twenty-five years, of Minersville, Pa. Big Elephant ona Rampage. Duchess, the big elephant in Lincoln Park, Chicago, escaped her keeper on Monday and rushed out of the park through the crowded streets. It was two hours before a wagon load of police could effect her capture, During her freedom Duchess killed a horse attached to a milk wagon and smashed the cle itself to sindling wood. An Earthquake Claims Many Victims. Five villages near Kutais, in Trans- Caucasia, have been destroyed by an earthquake. Many lives are reported to have been lost. So far the bodies of twenty-seven persons have been recov ered from the ruins of dwellings and other buildings, but it is believed that many more bodies will be found. Aluminum at 15 Cents a Pound. A French electro-metaliurgical com- pany, which employs the Herault-Kil- iani aluminium process, asserts that it will be able to sell the aluminum at @ price equivalent to less than 15 cents 4 pound, provied it is in a position to dis- pose of : yearly output of 8,000 tons of the metal. aoe 2 “CAMPAIGN TEXTS. A TIMELY DISCUSSION OF TOPICS Of GREAT IMPORTANCE AND INTEREST. The Work of the Administration Re viewed—Many Facts Which Will Inter- est Every Speaker, Writer and Voter. Contcasting Two Administrations. {Special Correspondence.] Nw York, Oct. 3.—One of the most | interesting publications of the campaign has made its appearance in the form of the “Republican Campaign Text Book.” It is the result of much careful labor on the part of people thoroughly fa- miliar with the political history of the | country and of the two great parties, and as it is prepared for the use of eam- paign speakers and writers great care | has been taken to make its statements absolutely accurate and reliable. Ther fore the information which it gives is | the more interesting. Mr. T. H. McKee, of 32 West Thirteenth street, has charge of its distribution, and, although it is a book of nearly 300 pages, mails it at six- teen cents per copy. Here are some of the things which it shows: It shows that the manufacture of woolen goods has prospered under the new and higher tariff as it never pj pered before, and that the wool growers | have been so greatly encouraged that they increased the number of their sheep 1,500,000 in the first year under the Mc- Kinley tariff. It shows that the prices of wooleu goods were lower under the McKin]-y tariff than before, and that no loss bas resulted to consumers from the new duty. It shows that forty-two tin pla manufactories have been estab) i since the passage of the McKinley law making tin of a quality superior to tha: made abroad, at higher rates of wz and a reduced price, the selling price being actually lower now than und the old tariff. It shows that the aggregate of domes tic exports in the 101 years under the constitution have b of which sum $15 during the thirty years being but $6,052,921.052. It shows that under twenty-two years of protection 41,362,000,000 pounds of cotton were sent abroad against 30, 1(s,- 000,000 pounds in the preceding sixty years. Both these statements show th- fallacy of the Democratic claim that protective tariff closes the markets of other parts of the world to Amezica. It shows that the product of the farms of the country has been greatly in creased under protection. In twenty years under protection we have ex- ported $3,147,000,000 worth of bread stuffs against $1,260,000 in the preced- ing fifty years. The exports of mea‘ products under twenty-two years of pro- tection have been 6,391,000,000 pounds against 1,490,000,000 pounds in cighty- one years of low tariff preceding. It shows that under reciprocity there has been an increase of many millioi< of dollars in our exports to Central and South American countries, and that in many articles the increase has amounted to from 50 to 150 per cent. It shows that the Republican party has been the author and finisher of ali the pension legislation enacted in behalf of the old soldiers. Nearly every pen- sion bill before congress was voted against by more than half of the Demo- crats in congress. A tabulation of the votes cast on the important pension bills enacted since the war shows 501 Demu. cratic votes for the bills, 902 Democratic votes against them, 1,291 Republican votes for the bills and two Republican votes against them. It shows that the so called force bill is nothing mére than an extension to all parts of the country of the eminently just federal election laws now in force in all the great cities, and which Mr. Cleveland and his subordidates made use of while he was president in their efforts to re-elect him. It shows Mr. Cleveland's veto record as a startling evidence of his hostility to the working people and the masses. His vetoes while governor included the me- chanics’ lein law, the bill making em- ployers responsible for accidents from imperfect machinery, of inferior con- struction of buildings, the bill forbid- ding the manufacture of “cigars in tene- ment houses, the bill making ten hours @ day’s work for street railroad compa- nies, the bill prohibiting elevated rail- roads from charging more than five cents fare, the bill requiring all state printing to be done by union workmen, the bill abolishing convict labor in prisons. the child labor bill, and while president he vetoed the anticonvict labor Dill in 1886 and again in 1888. It shows that Cleveland recommended in his message on Dec. 6, 1886, the em- ployment of federal convicts in manu- facturing pursuits and the use by the government of the products of their labor. It shows that the a -rage rate of wages in the United State. is fully dou ble that in Great Britain. Taking a list of nineteen occupations, such as manu- facture of boots and shoes, cotton goods. carpet weavers, printers, mill hands etc., the average rate of wages in the United States is $2.56 per day and in Great Britain $1.23. It shows that in Democratic states the average rate of wages for farm hands is eighty-three cents a day, and in Repub- lican states it is $1.35. It shows the volume of business done through the banks in Democratic states to be $2,783,718,924, and in Republican states to be $9,892,374,152. It shows that the amount of circulat- ing medium per capita is almost double now what it was when the Democrats had had constant control of the government for many years—the per capita amount of money in circulation in 1860 being $13.85 and the amount per capita in 1892 being $24.32, a per capita raie equaled by very few countries in the civilized world.
