Eo,ty.seyen Million Acres.

The last session of Congress gave to
the Northern Pacific Railroad, as a free
gift, forty scuen million acres of the peo-
ple's lands. These lands could have been
purchased of the Government at one
dollar and Twenty-Five cents per acre; but
the railroad monopolists now ask t,cO
dollars and fifty cents per acre,
That's exactly the policy of the Radi-
Gals toward the people, viz: benefit the
wealthy at the expense of those who
labor and pay taxes.
This outrageous land grab is approx
ed by the Radical party in this District
and by Mr.. SpRAGuE, their candidate fol
Congress.
Mr.. CARTWRIGHT, the Democratic can
didate, is opposed to all such oppres
sions upon the people and, If elected
will cast his vote steadily against grant
ing single foot of the public lands t.
the land -grabbers.

Somewhat Doubtful."

A Cleveland correspondent of the
New York Tribune, has the following
regarding this district:
"The Fifteenth District gave E. III.
Moore 956 majority in 1868. He is a
candidate second term, with v. B.
Horton, of Meigs County, an old men,
ber, and Colonel N. H. Van Worries, of
Athens, as rivals for the nomination =
The Democrats have nominated John
Cartwright. The district will be close,
and must be counted as somewhat doubt
ful."
From Republican standpoint, this is
cheering; more especially since the un-
satisfactory nomination of Sprague.-
The nomination of V. B. Horton might
have infused some vigor into the. party,
and drawn largely from our own, but as
it is, set down the 10Th District for Cart
wright. Only little work needed

The 18th District is Democratic with

vigorously for a full vote in Monroe
County.

The Land Grabbers in Congress.

The most scandalous thing connected
with the gift of 100000 acres of the
public lands to the Northern Pacific
Railroad, by the last Congress, is the
fact that at the same session the Radi-
cal majority pledged themselves by a
vote to the following resolution:
"Resolred, That in the Judgment of
this House the policy of granting sub
sides in public lands to railroad and
other corporations ought to be discon-
tinued and that every consideration of
public policy and equal justice to the
whole people requires that the public
lands of the United States should be
held for the exclusive purpose of secu-
ring homesteads to actual settlers under
the homestead and pre-emption laws,
subject to reasonable appropriations of
such lands for the purpose of education" !"
The above was offered by Mr.. HOLMAN,
of Indiana, and passed the House on
the 2lst of March, 1870.
And yet the same House, three month,
later, passed the Northern Pacific land
grab of 100000 acres by "a mgiorit,
of some t,oenty uotes!

Tariffs Of Other Nations.

It must be matter of absolute sur
prise to any person uninitiated into the
arts, mystery and jugglery of tariff ma
king, that the enormities in our system
so far exceed those in the tariff system
of any other nations on earth. The
number of taxed articles under our laws
is between 5000 and 1000. To this
there is no parallel in the world The
British tariff, many years ago nearly
equaling ours, now embraces only 33 ar
ticles, or as classified only IL, and it
imposes the most inconsiderable duties
on any kind of raw materials,and on the
great majority of imports none at ALL
The average rate of imposts on all duti-
able articles does not exceed 30 per cent.
of their value, and the average rate on
all imports, ,dutiable and free, is less than
s per cent. Yet in 1867 the total imports
Into Great Britain in value were 81, Ia
| 700, ,263, and into the United States only
1876, ,149,5SS, and the free imports into
Great Britain that year were S762, ,O03,-
| 5O6, and into the United States only S16-
569,611. Yet under the British the cus-
toms revenue last gear acas about $40,

Now subtract this number of square

six hundred and fifteen thousand, eight
hundred and forty, from the amount of
these internal land grants Of ONE HUN

what is Thought of Sprague
isa Morgan County.
d EM0CRATS RE A d.

From the NJ M'Connelsville Conservative Aug. &c.
William 2. Sprague, the Radical can
didate for Congress in this District, was
born near the mouth of Island Run, in
Bloom township, this county, on the
2lst of May, 1927, and has resided ini
this county all his days. The most of
his business life has been that of a Dry
Goods merchant, in which business be
is now engaged. In politics, he has al
ways been one of the most ultra of his
party, and now endorses all the most
culpable acts of the present Administers
ton and of the last session of Congress.
As a local politician, he has been active
and energetic wherever there has been a
chance of his own advancement to po-
litical positions; but, when he has not
been seeker, he has kept aloof from
political strifes. In 1859, go '6l and
'62, he represented our State Senatorial
District, composed of part of Noble,
Washington and Morgan counties; in
the Ohio Legislature. Since then, a.
though he has always been ready to
"scrve his country" he has not held any
prominent political office. His nomina-
ton for Congress, although the delega-
ton from this county to the Convention
was instructed to vote for HIM, was not
desired by any of-our leading Radical
politicians, aud has been the cause oi
great disatfection in the Radical ranks
As man, heis SO unpopular, that there
is not leading Radical politician il
McConnelsville that has the disposition
Ito, or darcs to earnestly and persistent
ly work for him, now that he is nomina
ted. Throughout Morgan County, th'
Radicals are grumhling, and declaring
that they will not support Mr., Sprague
and the chances are, from the presen
outlook, that he will hardly be able tx
carry the County. Those most sanguin
of his election, concede that he will no
get IN ore than two hundred majority il
|, the County. All thasis necessary to in
sure the election of John Cartwright t
Congress, is for tie Democracy of tn
other Counties of this District to pol
. their full Democratic vote. Monroe ca
Z give Democratic majority of at leas
$500 if she will; Washington can ais
give Democratic majority; Cartwrigf
, will cut down the Radical majority i
, Meigs and Athens: and, take it all
all, the Democrats have only to put the
shoulders to the wheel, to carry th
District by 4 rousing majority. Hurral
. for Cartwright.
