which WIFI You Choose, Voters !
We copy the following admirable ar
ticle from the Newark CO., Adrocate,
edited, as most of our readers are
aware, by W. D.. Morgan, Esq, late
State Auditor. 1t presents in a plain,
succinct way one of the main issues
now before the people of Ohio. The
Republicans advocate the keeping of
the public money in banks and bro
ker's shops; the Democrats in the Urea
sury. Besides drawing as little money
as possible from the people in the way
of taxes, the Democracy want what
may be collected, safely kept and used
only when actually needed, and then
for the purposes for which it was col
lected. But to the 4drocate's article:
"Men of opposite parties may hon
cstly. differ as to which is the greater
rascal, Bre$hn or Gibson but all men
of all parties, who are honest an" in
tclligent, will admit the necessity of a
better system for the protection of the
public money than that which now ex-
lists.
bliss, who was elected State Treasu-
rer by the Abolition Wings in 1916,
became a defaulter.
"BrcSlin, who was elected by the
Democrats in 1851, became Il d~efaulter.
"Gibson, who was elected by the Re-
publicans in 1855 became a defaulter.
Each of these men, besides apply
ing the public money to his own use,
had loaned it in large amounts either
to banks. railroads or insurance compa-
mics. The consequence of this policy
has been IMMENSE LOSS to the pub
lie.
"What as Tie remedy for this great and
rapidly grOrI'g erH? The Chase party
proposes no remedy. They say that
bankers and brokers should still be al
lowed to use the public money; but it
should be intrusted only to those which
are known to be strong. Acting on
this doctrine, Chasc's present State
Treasurer, A. p. Stone, in the month of
July, selected the Ohio Life Insurance
and Trust Company as IL of his prin
cipal repositories; and, in less tia" SIR
tcecks afterward, this boosted institution
ono of the very strongest and most
powerful in ali the country-was con-
feSsedly reduced to bankruptcy and Ri"
by the wild and hazardous speculationS
of one of the ablest and most skillful
of its oscn o6fecrs!
"On the other hand, the Democracy
advocate and insist on the adoption of
the Independent Su~J-trensury System,
which for the last fifteen years has been
in successful operation under the Gene
raj Government. That system is SIM
ply this To KFEP THE PUBLIC MONEY
AT ALL TIMES IN THE TREASURY UNTIL
1T Is ACTUALLY NEEDED FOR THE PUR-
POSES FOR WHICH II WAS COLLECTED ;
AND TO Lion IT, UNDER NO PRETEXT
WHATEVER, TO BE DIVERTED OR APP
Piled TO ANY USES OTHER THAN THOSE
FOR WHICH IT VAS RAISED. This is
the spirit and substance of the Sub
treasury system to which the Democra-
cy Of Ohio are pledged. This is the
safeguard which they offer against a re-
petition of the terrible wrongs by which
Ohio has been robbed and dishonored.
." Tofers Of Ohio! In the foregoing
you have a plain, frank statement of
the position which the two parties occu-
Ply on this great State question. Think
well and dispassionately on the subject.
II is the vital, living issue of the pre-
sent campaign in Ohio. IF you are I'M
willing that your money shall continue
to be given over to bankers and bro
kers, instead of being kept in the Urea
sury where it belongs, then be careful
to attend the polls on the second Tues
day of October next, and give your
vote and your influence to the, candi-
dates of the Democratic party
