A MEMBER of a church in Vermont,
desiring "a man from the Lord" prayed
in this wise: "Send us not an old man
in his dotage, nor a young man in his gos-
linghood, but a man with all the modern
improvements"
Won't somebody try that dodge on the
Democratic party of Ohio? Its effects
would be something like those of a tin
kettle on a dogs tail, or a lump of aquafor-
tbs on a fresh wound.-Ca. Times.

The Two Platforms.

We publish this week the State plat
forms of the two parties in Ohio. Oul
reason for publishing the Radical plat
form is: The editors of Radical papers
in Mcigs, Athens, Washington, Morgan
Noble and Guernsey counties are ashaln
ed oil the vile doctrines contained there
iu, therefore refuse to publish it. The
people are anxious to read platform
that indorses GRANT, the greatest politi
cal failure of any age, and favors placing
Negro rulers over White menin every
State of the Union.
They are anxious to read it and then
heap curses upon the leaders and party
that fayors such monstrous doctrine.
in Che two platforms will be found the
issues. except the tariff,now grinding the
people, upon which the Radicals are
silent Compare them and decide whether
White Men or Negroes are best capable
of governing in this country. Whether
the principles of the corrupt party in
power, or those Of the Democratic party
sre best calculated to promote harmony
aud peace in America.
We incline to the opinion that every
man, who carefully and candidly reads
.
the platforms, viii walk up to the polls on
Tuesday the 18th day of October, and
vote the full Democratic ticket.

R0bbing the Taxpayers.

boutwell,, Secretary of the Treasury
has notified the New York Bondholders
that he will continue the purchase o.
Bonds during September.
That is, he will afford them further op
portunity to rob The ta1 payers, by re
deeming their Bonds, which have ffteer
years to run, at S123 on the 500 or 81
23O for every $1,000 Bond.
That bonus of $3.50 on every 81 ,00(
purchased, or redeemed, goes into the
pockets of the Bondholders at the ex
pense Of the laboring Taxpayers.
The Democracy advocate paying these
Bonds,according to the written contract
in Greenbacks; and redeeming every
$1,000 Bond with 81, 900 in Greenbaeks
instead of $l,230 for $1,000, at GOLD
rates, as practiced by the Treasury Ring
of scoundrels, at Washington and New
York.
1t the people desire these wrongs
righted they must vote to remove the
corruptionists from power.

London is, perhaps, the dearest town
in England for coal.
The price of good coal, per ton of 8, ;
240 pounds, delivered free in any part of
London, is seventeen shillings, or 81 IL,
gold. This class of coal is superior to
our bituminous coal.
One weeks wages by the thirteen Lon
don gas workers, amounting to $50 63,
gold, would buy 1914 pounds of coal.
The price Of coal in New York is $40
currency, for 1000 pounds, or one half
cent per pound. This IS, now, very
moderate figure, indeed. The weekly
wages of thirteen gas-makers in New
York, amounting to $195 %, currency,
would, therefore, only buy 1904 pounds
here in New York, or 1900 pounds less
than the London "pauper labor would
buy.
Nova Scotia coal could be laid down
here cheaper than Welsh coal in Lon
don, if we had no tariff Of sixty per
cent. on foreign coal; but. then, that
would emancipate thirtv-eight millions
of Americans from the vassalage of the
Pennsylvania coal dukes.
1t viii be observed that the laborers
in question are among the highest paid
in New York, and the excess paid here
in money (130 per cent. in this branch
of industry, above that paid in London,
is greater, perhaps, than in any other
Yet even in this the wages are actually
lower, in the necessaries of life, ,and even
in coal, than those earned by the ''pau-
per labor of Europe"

Robbery Of The Soldiers Relief
Fund,

Tlou JoHN SHERMAN, in q speech dc
livered at the dedication Of the groands
for the Soldiers Orphan Heme, at Xenia,
said:
"At the close Of the war, there was in
the State Treasury of Ohio nine millions
Of dollars belonging to the Soldiers
Fund, which was raised for the support
Of soldiers families NINE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS of the fund
was misappropriated toward paying off
the pahlic debt, rather, as it was urged.
than increase taxation. In my Judgment
it was unconstitutionally applied, and /,
rs representative of the people of
Ohio, demand that the next Legislature
of Ohio return the amount thus appro-
priated with interest, and that it be ap-
piled to the benefit of the Orphans
Home. If the people of Ohio feel as /
do on the subject, they will vote for no
man who will not pledge himself to vote
to restore this amount, l care not to
which political party he belongs"
Here we have the testimony of the
Radical United States Senator from
Ohio, that the Legislature of 1867,
which elected him to the Senate, stole
nine hundred thousand dollars from the
Soldiers Relief Fund, and unconstitu-
tionally applied it toward paying off the
public debt of the State. And why did
that, Radical Legislature 'misappropriate
nearly one million dollars? To make
the tax payers of the State believe that
they had reduced the public debt that
amount Now, JoHN SHERMAN, and for
aught we know the entire Radical party
OF the State, is in favor Of taxing the
people of Ohio, ONE MILLION DOL
LARS,over and above all other taxation,
to restore to the Soldiers Relief Fund
what the Radical Legislature Of 1867
had stolen from it. OF course, SHER-
AN,and the leaders of the Radical party,
don't care particle about taxation.-
Their money, flched from the people, is
invested in Government Bonds and Bank
stocks Their share of this tax, if any,
will be but trife; the burdens will fall
upon the shoulders of those least able to
bear it,
Let the people speak whether the party
that has SO shamefully robbed and de-
ceived them shall again be trusted with
the Legislative power of our State Gov
ernment? Every vote given for the
Radical party is vote iustifying this
Radical robbery Of the Soldiers Relief
Fund !-Wydndot Union.

What Is Luxury!

Day-laborer, direct or indirect tax
payer, should YOU ever have the good
fortune to enter the drawing-room of a
millionaire's house in any of our large
cities, you will notice, suspended over
the two large windows the finest kind of
white lace curtains. 1t would be, of
course, bad breeding if you should be
tempted to ask the price of them; but,
nevertheless,you may take it for granted
that the two pair of lace curtains adorn,
ing the windows of a first class house in
any of our large cities, cost from $500
to S4O0 What a luxury. is your first
thought; these curtains do not even
keep the sun out, and are for all inter
ests and purposes "a luxury. Bah! you
are mistaken. Our national legislators
consider lace curtains for S400 a neees-
sity, and as none are made in the United
States, they concluded that thirty. .tfrc per
cent. duty is high tariff for them. But
you, day -laborer, direct and indirect tax
payer, you indulge in the greater luxury
Go home and inspect the wooleu blan-
ket which covers your child's cot There
you behold luxury indeed and because
it is such luxury, our tarif-mdkerS er-
act a duty Of $50 per cent. on 1t, for 9th
erwise the blanket makers and wooden
interest would suffer; and as the woolen
manufacturers of the United States are
only few who are influential, aud who,
at the proper time, make a noise and
speak, they, Of course, get any tariff
they desire; and as you are many mil
lions, but poor, who neither have the
courage to speak for yourselves Or stand
by those who would willingly speak for
you, it serves you perfectly right, that
the blanket that covers your infants cot
is taxed lis per cent more than the rich
mans lace window curtains.

Gov, Morton,s speech,

We publish on our outside speech
delivered by Gov. MORTON in 1865.
The Ohio Radicals imported MORTON
this year to address the voters of the
State in behalf of the Negroes. He de
livered two or three harrangues, which
made votes for the Democracy, when ke
retired.
The people of Ohio are not yet ready
to bow down to worship the Negro
Equality doctrines of the Radical party
They prefer to be governed by White
intelligence rather than Negro ignorance
and the counting Of the votes on Tues
day night, the 18th of October will prove
this.
Throughout the United States the
glad tidings will be heralded that the
Conservatives and Democrats of Ohio
the doctrine of MORTON, SUM.
NER and HAYES, and triumphantly elected
the entire Democratic ticket.

depicted on his countenance. ''Will

he has the key oc my carpet bag"

WHEAT RSUS BLANKETS.
The American Farmer and the
American Manufacturer,
litors of the Evening Post:

To the Editors of the Evening POST
The price of wheat in Liverpool is at
present eight shillings and eleven pence
sterling, for GENITAL, or as near as pos
sible 81 80, gold, for a bushel of so
pounds. The price of wheat in New
York city is, on an average, 81 so, cur
rency, for q bushel of 60 pounds.
Zone hundred bushels of wheat in New
York will fetch $3.50, currency The
price of common blankets is 40 cents a
pound in New York; 100 bushels of
wheat will, therefore, buy just 375 pounds
of blankets here.
The English farmer will get for 100
bushels of wheat, in Liverpool, $3.50,
gold. The same kind of blankets which
cost here forty cents, currency, pound,
is sold in England for ninepence, or in
our money, eighteen cents, gold, pound.
100 bushels of wheat, would, therefore,
buy in Liverpool, 722 pounds of bian-
kets, (leaving four cents over, or nearly
% per cent. more than the American far
mer can buy for his 100 bushels of
wheat in New York.
In case it should be alleged that the
farmer is bound to support the revenue
of his country, and, therefore, has to
pay nearly twice as much for his blan-
kets as the English farmer, / will only
add that "not a pound of blankets of
this class is imported into the United
States that wooden blankets are, pure
and simple, an American monopoly, and
Government does not get one cent reye-
hue from these.
Should it be Urged by the monopolist
that the raw material or wool is protect
ed, 1 am prepared to show that the class
of wool of which such blankets are made
only pays a duty of three cents pound
Nor can the monopolizing oligarchy
of the United States show that the far
mer gets one cent more for his wheat in
New York than he would receive latter
deducting all expenses) in Liverpool for
it. Hence the woolen manufacturer
here pays the farmer the price only that
his grain would fetch in foreign mar
ket; while the farmer pays the woolen
manufacturer nearly one hundred per
cent more for his blankets than the ac.
tual value in any other market except
here, where by law such a price can be
enforced. No MONOPOLY.
