Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-01-04

The leaders of the Democratic par
ty opposed the abolition of slavery
because they claimed it unconstitu-
tional. When the rebellion broke out,
they pronounced President Lincoln's
proclamation, calling for men
to defend the Republic, as unconsti-
tational. The. Civil Rights bill was
opposed upon the same ground.
knfranchising the colored people was
held up as q horrible violation Of that
instrument. And the other day, when
\ bill was before congress for the ap-
p5ihtment OF "a bipartisan Commis-
zion, whose duty it shall be to fnves-
.igate the vital question Of Labor,
wages, DC. the old humbug Cry of un.
sonstitutionality was again raised by
leaders Of the Democratic party in
Congress. We will candidiy say
however, that We do not believe
the honest disinterested masses of the
Democratic party, sustain such views.
Slowly, but surely they will kick such
leaders into oblivion.

fair, honest, and thorough investiga-
ton? But the Democrats opposed
the appointment of o commission of
this character, and 1t was carried
over Democratic votes.
The Commissioners are to hold
Office for one year from the date of
their appointment, unless their duties
shall have been sooner accomplished,
and during that time shall investigate
the subject Of wages and hours of
labor; the manner in which the joint
profits of labor and capital are
divided between laborer and capital
ist; the social, educational, and san
itary condition of the l4boring class
es of the United States, and how the
same arc affected by existing laws
regulating commerce, finance and
currency. Such investigation Dem
ocratic congressman labored siren
uously to prevent, and for whatever
benefit the workingmen of the United
States reap from clear exposition
of their wrongs, they will owe moth
ing to the DemocI attic party, whose
representatives in Congress sought

CUNEO VS.. HARE.

Treasurer J. S. Hare devotes nearly
another column to ourself in the I'm
ion of this week. Our reply shall be
brief.
In his former communication Mr..
Hare, not type, made the following
assertions:
1st, That in 1869 we published the
"Notice to Tax-Payers' by order OF
ex- Treasurer Goodbread.
Cd, That at the December session
of the Commissioners for 1869, We
presented bill of $3.50 for said job.
Sd, That it was paid and that it
was q God-send to us.
4th, That TIE salary of the Upper
Sandusky Postoffice is $1,5OO.
Ali of which in our reply last week
we proved to be echo1ly untrue, and
in his rejoinder he utterly fails to
produce single proof to sustain his
assertions.
And now he endeavors to justify
his base .fa6rications by producing a
bill for $3.50 which we presented in
1867, two gears bctore, for voluntarily
publishing "Notice to Tax Payers"
said year. That bill we never denied,
and do not now. And we know that
it was exorbitant, but it was the
customary price paid to the Union.
And for that job the editor of the
Union received $3.50; we for the
same work not cent.
The fact that we presented bill Of
S72 for publishing times OF holding
Court at the same time, which was
paid, is true, as Mr.. Hare learned from
the REPUBLICAN of last week. And
for the same job in 1868 we presented
reduced bill of S45, and we were
assured by the editor of the Union
that we were foolish for putting it so
low, as we could just as well get $50
as that amount. We were urged to
increase it to that figure, which we
declined, by saying that it was worth
no more, but that he might present a
larger bill if he desired. But, unlike
the present editor Of the Union, that
gentleman replied that if we charged
only S45, he would do the same.
We renew the question of veracity
between ourself and Mr. Hare with
the mild qualification that his memory
is either very deficient, or else he

WE suppose that no one doubts that

saloon with the purpose of killing
Meyers. We suppose that no theory
of acquittal by the jury that is held
by any of McGehan's friends acquits
him of the intention of gong to make
the fray which resulted in the killing
of Meyers. We suppose that the
theory, invented by au INSCRIPTIONS

ambition to tue work Of saving a
murderer from justice, that he shot
himself while drawing his pistol to

We suppose that in the minds of tie

The Labor Commission.

luc COE1HllSStOH.
The Democracy have profcssed to
be friend of the working man.
They have never wearied of ringing
the changes on the oppression Of
labor by capital. They have charged
the Republican party with burdening
the working man with onerous taxes,
taxing the bread he eats, the clothes
he wears, the chair he sits ON, arid
the bed on which he sleeps. The
sole aim of the Republican party, &C
cording to Democratic demagogues.
is to squeeze the last cent from the
workingmsn to swell the gains of tie
capitalist
The Republicans, having grown
tired of hearing this, propose TO as
| certain the facts, and if the asserted
evils really exist, apply the remedy.
For this porpose Mr.. HoAR, Of Mas
sachusetts, introduced a bill provid-
ing for a commission to investigate
the condition of the working classes
in this country, examine fUlly into
the relations existing between capital
and labor, and present the country
with thorough, exact, and impartial
exhibit of the whole subject. No
sooner was this proposed than the
Democrats in the House took the
alarm. 1t threatened the destruction
of their political stock in trade.
What chance would remain for DEM
agoguery on the labor question when
the exact facts would be before the
public? Misrepresentation would
be futile. There would be no oppor
tunity for working on the prejudices
and infaming the passion of mel
ignorant of the facts. And worse
than all, there would be basis estab
lished, through Radical efforts, fol
legally remedying such wrongs as
. may be found actually to exist.
From the first mention of the pro
posed commission the Democrat.
, labored to prevent it. Parliamentary
objections were offered, and wher
} these were overruled, a direct on
| slaueht was made on the measure

Wall street. On the black Friday he
lost thirty thousand dollars, and the
expenses the first year of himself and
wife were some sixty thousand dol
lars. Becoming rapidly impecuni-
Gus he sold his horses, and changed
his boarding place, going to the Gil
sey House where he forged draft in
payment of his board, was detected
and arrested His friends casting
about, to help him out discovered
that he had sold for less than half
their cost his wi!e's diamonds back
to the jewellers of whom they were
purchased, that he lost that money in
three days in stocks, and that he had
secretly pawneI his wife's ward robe,
and was not only q forger but beg
gar; the only son of one of the old
style merchant princes who had bat
tied the world successfully, and died
in the delusion that his son would not
be forced to work for q living.
The wife, it is said, was ignorant
of the condition OF things until the
arrest of her husband as a forger.
Great sympathy is expressed for her.
And yet with sense on her part the
wreck might not have come. She
piled on the dry goods without stint;
knowing, if she knew any thing, that
none but silly women make such
show cases Of themselves. She in
dulged in the idleness, the dissipation,
the recklessness of fashionable ho-
tel, and she had no ambition but to
spend money, eclipse competitors in
Central Park, and throw away her
opportunities for usefulness, by a
life of hotel Incidence, freedom from
restraint, and an entire repudis tion of
all the duties of life. Sympathy is
wasted on such people, and we can
only point to their wicked lives as
warning to those who would shirk
responsibility. and who would at
tempt to live solely for themselves.
