duties averaging eight per cent. In 1888
Henry Clay carried through his tariff
which averaged, while in force, fifteen
per cent. In1S42 the Wing party pass
ed a tariff which averaged twenty-five
per cent. In 1916 the Democrats passed
tariff which averaged twenty per cent.

been made in taxation. Hear them:

Congress passed a Tax andl dl.Tariff

The Marietta Register says:
"Congress did make substantial reduc-
ductions in the tarlif, to the amount of
s2O,OOO,000.n
The truth is, Congress imposed an
outrageous tariff upon the people, and
Radical editors are working hard to

High Protective Tariffs Injurious
10 the People,

1t is strange dclusion to suppose
that protection ever cheapened any com
modify. 1t never did. Whenever it
does the protectionists will become dis
gusted with protection and demand free
trade. 1t is emphatically true of pro-
lection that it is one of those follies in
human legislation which constantly tends
to defeat its own purposes. The self
created and sclf-executing laws of trade
and business are wiser than acts of Con
gress. Congress may enact laws to
make prices and profits high for their
favorltes. But instantly the more IA
tlonal laws Of trade begin to operate,
and capital and individuals, seduced by
the excessive and natural profits offered
by protection, abandon legitimate pur-
suits and reasonable earnings and rush
into the favored business. Then by the
feverish effect of protection all prices
gradually increase, and thus the cost of
the new production is much increased,
and thereby its anticipated profits are
reduced. And then the disappointed
beneficarics of illogical and dishonest
tariff laws hasten straightway to Con,
gress and pitcoUsly demand more pro
lection, and insist that without it they
will inevitably perish. Thus it is always
and has always been in our history and
in the history of the world. Protection
constantly grows more eSacting and i'm
Fortunate by what it feeds on. 1t never
goes backward or lets 90 an advantage
but its ever recurring appeal is for more
1t should have been noted by Solomon
as fifth thing, shat saith not, IL ii

Equality In the Tariff.

The moment tariff can be so arrang
ed as that it shall work absolute equality
in burdens, the Protectionists will de-
mand its repeal, because it will then
cease to be protection in any sense
Tariff protection and equality are incon,
sistent terms. The best tariff that is
practicable, therefore, is a purely revenue
tariff, because it yields the most in Gus
toms and comes nearest to equality in
burdens
The High Tariff editors Of the Nor
gan Herald, Athens Messenger and Jour
nal, Marietta Register and Pomeroy
Telegraph are invited to controvert the
above, if they can. Thus far they have
played towards ON the tariff issue, be-
cause they knew the people were anxious
and interested /; and their party was gull
ty of imposing unjust burdens upon the
laboring ax-payers.

The Radical Party Hate Foreign


During the last session of Congress a
Naturalization bill was framed aud
bruught before both Houses, and its
passage was postponed because of the
bad effect it would have, for Radichlism,
in t;ie elections this fall The Radical
party is tho old Know Nothing party Of
1855 and 1856 Tie only change since
that time is the name And the hatred
erinccd for foreigners in the days OF
Know No.hingism still clings 10 the par
ty under its new name; they let no op-
pnrtunity, to injnre ioreisn bern resi-
dents, pass them. Here is an extract
from 'ruuraAN's spccch ON the Radical
naturalization bill;
"Let us see what this bill is. | say,
first, it is bill to discourage immigra-
ton. How csn YOU expect that intelli-
gent people will come to the United
States with the intention of becoming
citizens, as most of those have done
who have come here, when they are to
be harassed in the manner this bill pro
Iposes, and when it is to become almost
impossible for them to become citisens
at all II How is it possible that you can
expect them to come here when you
shall have set up this law which brands
the whole of them as people unwor-
lthy to be trusted, which brands them as
a class ready to commit perjury, which
brands them with the mark of dishon-
esty? When you shall hare held ap such
u hW as This containing more than eighty
fre iadictaLlc ofcases as this bill does, and
thus n,enaccd ererD man ,oho lands upon
your shores, l.o,o can yos capect that peo-
pie aoiH come here 10 lics-to liuc uuder a
| Government that could enact such lacS
Sir, it is law which is intended, or il

peans TO our shores"
And yet this Radicnl party pretends
great love for the German and Irish, the
very men, who, had this Naturalization
bill become a law, would have had to GO
| to Cincinnati from Monroe County, to
I've naturalized, at cost Of not less than
$500 each. And every German and
Irishman who had received his papers
since July 4, 1868, would have been
compelled to take out new papers, his
first being rendered useless by this law.
That is fair specimen of Radical
Know Nothing hatred for our German
and Irish citizens At the same time
the Radicals pretend great respect for
them abou. election day. tits the respect
the murderer has for his victim when
drawing his knife across his throat.

All these articles are raw materials Of
the most Indispensable .and universal
use, and whatever aggravates their cost
is direct burden upon almost every
form of industry, labor, and protection
in our country, the extent of which, in
all the ramificatlons Of business it is i'm
possible to estimate.
And in the face of these facts the
Radicals tell the people that the new
tariff reduces their burdens anywhere
from sixty to one hundred millions of
dollars. The truth is the tax on the
people, for what they use every day of
their lives, has been increased for the
benefit of wealthy manufacturers in the
interest Of the corruptionists in power +,

Land Grabbing.

Hon. l.. D. CAMPBELL delivered a
speech in Delaware, Ohio, Sept Z, in
which he produced the official report to
prove that the Radicals in Congress,
SHERMAN, boutwell,, ScHENcK and 9TH
crs had granted to the land grabbers the
following:
Acres.
To the Atlantic & Pacific R. R. Co., 1900, 600
To the Northern Pacific do 67,000,000
To the Union Pacific do $4,000, 900
Total, 144,OOO,0OO
This is not all the lands voted by the
Radicals to the Land Spectators.
This land could have been bought of
the government at 81 25 per acre. The
land -gra5bers, backed by the present
Administration, demand of the people
from Sc to SO per acre.
That is the way the Radicals legislate
for the people--to take money out Of
their pockets to enrich wealthy land
grabbers.

sympathy for the Germans in these
words:
ave cannot refrain from declaring
our sympathy with the present heroic
effort of the Germans.
These very men were the leaders of
the old Know Nothing party, which in
1855 and 1856 abused and villifed Ger
mans and other foreign born citizens as
unfit to exercise the rights of citizen

and administered to others:

And these men who have reviled and

AT Marietta, Ohio, in 1867, BENJAMIN

The mass Of the people, the farmers,

all taxed, the very lowest, an ACREAGE Of
10 per cent. IN gold, upon the most i'm

The wealthy and comfortable classes
1.-The national bankers, bondholders and
land-grabbers for instance-are permit
ted to import articles of ornament and
luxury at merely nominal duty ranging,
IN fact, from entire exemption from duty up
TO 10 or % per cent.
II the aim of the Radicals is not to
oppress farmers, mechanics and other
iaboring men, by excessive taxation to
benefit the wealthy and aristocratic class,
we would like to know what it is. That
is the only result attained by their party
thus far, and the prospect for relief, to

receive at our hands the contempt it de-
serves. We are freemen, possessed of

of those who would allure us to their
support, and we spurn their hypocritical
pretensions as base and unreal. We
owe to the Democratic party the literal
naturalization laws under which we have
become citizens of free republic We
owe to that party the repeal of the obi
Gus Sunday laws, by which we were
trammeled under Radical authority p
We owe that party that our Cosmopoli.
tan Schools have become State institn-

Western States owe to the liberal pre-
emption laws passed by the Democratic
party their easily-acquircd farms and
homes. We owe to the Radical party
the present odious system of Internal
Revenue continued by the votes of that
party after its necessity was past. We
owe to that party the present unjust and
odious high tariff that is eating out our
substance; and we owe to it the oppres-
sive taxes which we ere compelled to
pay to support an army of Federal As

all, we owe to that party the odious Fif-
teenth Amendment, which destroys the
sovereignty of the States, and fills our
