Campaign Opened in Earn
est.

The campaign in the Elev-
enth Congressional District is
now opened in earnest. Every
Democrat and every honest
Republican who are opposed
to the treacherous WILSON
should prepare for making his
defeat certain. We ask the
cooperation and assistance of
every honest man to contest
every inch of ground in the
coming elections. Let no Dem
ocrat wait for others to lead,
but each for himself lift up the
banner and sound the bugle Of
Democracy. The time has
come to pull down the temple
of Radicalism, that has been
for years full Of rottenness and
corruption. Let it be so re-
corded in the heart of every
Democrat.

TIE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER
FOR THE
CAMP AIGN.

The political campaign is now open and is of
such Importance that every voter should be
fully informed and posted as to the issues in
volved in the contest between the Democracy
and their Radical opponents. In order that all
may be able to have q paper published in the
interest of the Farmers and Working Men, we
will issue the DENoCRATIc ENQUIRER for the
Campaign at such reduced rates as to put it in
the reach of the poorest man in the county-so
that none need 90 eoithOma pdper.

Twenty copies, (three mont ths) and one
copy for one year to getter up of club -. 500
As these figures will barely cover expenses,
we hope our friends all over the county will
take the matter in hand at once and get up
clubs, and put the ENQUIRER in the hands Of
every voter in Vinton County, as well as in the
hands voters in other counties, of whatever
party.
To those who are too poor to pay for the paper
during the Campaign, we will send ltfree.
The ENQUIRER is an exponent of the doctrine
of self-government; the rights of the people
iavors the repeal of infamous stamp and reve-
nue. laws; favors taxing the bonds opposed to
the importation of cheap Niger and Chinese
labor, and favors the rights of ourlaboring men

In Prussia while the men are
at war the women performfeld
and farm labor, and are gath.
erlng the crops, guarding the
focks and doing field work.
For many years women have
been employed in Prussia as
station agents and signal Off
GERS on the railroads; and, if
necessity required, women. no
doubt, could act as conductors
on the trains. Great as has
been the drain on the male
population, a still greater one
could be incurred without in
terfering with the usual pur-
suits to anything like the ex.
tent that would be the case in
most of countries.

The proceedings of the late
session OF Congress fill seven
large volumes of the Congress
sional Globe, two more than
were ever required by a single
session before, and one entire
volume is taken up by speeches
that were never delivered,
leave to print them having
been given by the branch to
which the printing member be-
longed. Much of this vast ex-
pense is useless, and, unless the
speech-makers are too strong,
will be stopped. 1t is bad
enough to make speech for
buncomb ; it is worse to print
one without delivering it, and
worse yet to put the country
to the expense when the mem
ber for whose benefit it is in
Cured neither composed nor
delivered the speech, and the
whole transaction is fraud.

1t is about time the Repub-

their Representatives in Con-
gress have voted away about
two hundred million acres Of
these lands in subsidies. The
most efectual way to "unqual-

sible business, is to elect Dem.

lead Of Senator Thurman, who
has declared immacable war on
all such schemes and who has
awakened the public conscience

Tho following incident, during
the trip of General Grant, about 4
month ago, through Illinois, shows
how plainly the boys feel about
bounty. We take the item from the
Chicago Tribune, Radical paper:
A small party OF gentlemen went
out from the city as far as Willow
Springs, to meet the Presidential
party, and sec that he got safely to
the depot. They found him quietly
seated in the carriage, with cigar
in his mouth, chatting freely with
his friends, and looking in good
health and spirits. The only Incl.
dent worthy of note which occurred,
during the latter stage of the jour
ney, was q little bit of Interview
ing on the part of tall young fol,
low, who had jumped on board the
cars, and who was determined to
see "the Gineral." After some
trouble he was admitted, when he
addressed the President as follows;
"Gineral, l served in Mulligan's
Brigade for four years and q halt,
and I've never got cint for it, 50
I've come to sec what's going to be
done about it," "You don't expect
me to pay you off this evening, l
hope" remarked the General. The
man appeared to be rather dubious
on that point, and left.

War in Europe will have its
first effect here by immensely
increasing the flow of immi-
grants. Already every careful
father who can gather the cash
and scents the conscription
from afar off is paying the pas,
sage of his boys to America
From America they may re-
turn home again richer than
they went, or the father, per
chance, may follow on the voy-
age; from the army they would
probably never return, And
this result is secured to us
merely by the war fever, even
without the war. Next to the
increase in immigration will be
be q demand for our bread
stuffs and high prices for our
splendid grain crops. If the
war lasts we shall even fill
some big gun contracts, and
our workshops will burn gas.
Europe will go on the debtor
side of the debtor side of the
