VOters Of Ohio Rcmembcr.

Voters of Ohio Remember.
That the public credit o fthis State has
stood higher on the stock exchanges of
New York and London, than that of any
other American State.
Renaember-That under a Locofoco
administration, the credit declined, and
the bonds ofthis State were sold at tioeaty
per cent. beiOw par.
Rcmem6er-That mainly by Locofoco
legislation a State debt has been imposed
of $40, 246, 0O2. according to the last re-
port of the Fund Commissioners, on
which a yearly interest sccrues of ST.,
164, 260-leaving, after deducting the
annual income from the public works, the
enormous tax of$s00, 900, which the peo.
pie of Ohio are obliged to pay every
year. in order to sustain the credit of the
State, being at the rate offorty cents for
every man woman and child in it.
Remembers That as the fruits of Lo.
cofoco misrule, fraud and corruption more
than EIGHT MILLIONS ofthat Debt
have been incurred without a c~onsidera-
ton to the State.
Remember-Tha the citizens Of Ohio
are more heavily taxed at this time than
any other state in the Union, and that
more than u third oflheir enormous bur-
then is a yearly sacrifice, to repair the
ruin and waste ofLocofoco rulers, with
the plumber and robberies oftheir official
agents.
Remem6er-That Repatriation was the
only remedy proposed by the Locofoco
leaders, in tho halls of legislation, and
through their press, while the debt was
accumulating under their administration;
That the issue has since been presented
by them, and was last year boldly assnm-
ed by their press, under the style of NJ
Canal Tar,' and that this issue is now
before the people.
Remem6er-That every State in the
Union which has failed to meet the in.
terest on its State Debt, has done so un.
der the impulse of Locofoco rulers.
Remember hat up to the last hour o.
Locofoco ~ascendency in Ohio, the pub
lie debt continued to amass, and no at
tempt was made to check its progress. Of
to meet the current interest that accrued
Remem6er-That the average annua
expenditures of the Ohio Legislature
from 1888 to 1914, when Locofocos helt
almost continual sway, was $44 ,202 43
being $lS,209 Sc more than was expen
ded by a Wing Legislature.
Remember-That under 3 years o
Wing legislation, the interest is prompt,
met, and aportion of the principal pait
off; and "A sinking fund established for the
gradual and certain reduction of thu
whole principle.
Remem6er-That by establishing thu
best system of Banking in our country
and ajudicious system oftaxation, where
the law has been honestly carried out
the Wing party has restored prosperit,
to the State; and by a wise and careful
economy in the administration of its gov
eminent, has brought back the circle O
its expenditures within the limit of it
means.
Remember-That under Wing auspi
ces, the credit ofOhio has revived; he
bonds are now worth in the hands of thu
holders one and a halt millions more thai
they were 2 years ago; and thus unde
the prosperous guidance of Wing rulers
she is fast returning to that bright goal o
honor, from which she so u%nhappily wan
dered. when lured and dazzled by tn,
ignis atuus of a false Democracy.
