A Word to Ohio.

A Word to Ohio.
Our friends in Ohio, in addition to the detection
caused by the Legislative Resignation and the
large Abolition division, have been moved down
by an overwhelming German vote, cast by newly
Naturalized Citizens, who have gone en- masse
for LEGO Focoism This is to be regretted, but
j, will be only transient evil if our friends bear
it kindly and manfuy. There is no use and no
reason in cursing and qunrrelng with those who
have thus turned the scale against US. They are
very imperfecty informed with regard to our
politics-many of them cannot read English-and
the great mass of them doubtless voted as they
believed best for the country. Let proper means
be taken to enlighten them and they will be
found on the RICH, side hereafter.
This is more certain from the fact that on the
great question which is destined to be foremost il
cur succeeding controversies-that of PRoTEs
T1oN-the Germans emphaticay sound al
home. The whole ground has been fought over
in Germany, and the result Of twenty years con-
troversy ls q unanimous agreement IN favor of the
policy of Protection against British Manufacturing
skill and capital. This precise question is des-
tined to be paramount here, and the Germans
will naturally Toe found, when the arts Of their
misleaders shall have been countcracted, on tina,
side among US which is sustained by the universal
sentiment Of their eoa..-y..>-..--. L-.--~.
1t will be easy to have fair fight upon it in
Ohio, for the Loco.Foco there evince on this
question none of the skulking and shufflng voting
which is pursued by their brethren generally
through the interior of this State. They are
straight out and open-mouthcd for Free Trade
that is Trade with all other Nations on just such
terms those Nations may choose to dictate.
Their Governor, Shannon, is understood to be
Calhoun man, and not one of their Representatives
in Congress votes for any kind of Tariff, o.
this point, there is no ducking nor lodging aboul
them.
Let the Wings of Ohio, then, but address them
selves patiently and kindly, personally and zeal
ously, to the task of enlghtcning the New Voters
on this great subject of Protection in Ill its bear
iags on their own and the Public Interests, and .
grea, part Of them will inevitably be found with
Us in 1914. Let them indulge in no unworthy
passion in this hour of their disappointment,
and all will yet be well.
