The recent speeches of Hon.
William Allen, who stands a re
markedly good chance of taking
Noyes' chair at the State Capital
the first time he gets up, show
that he both understands and ap-
preciates the questions and is
sues of the hour, that one in par
ticular, which is of more impor-
lance than all others combined,
of a thorough and general re-
form throughout all departments
of the government. Allen is the
most honest of men, and no form
of fraud or r~ascality would be
tolerated under his eye OF within

Tbs restoration of the Democ-
racy is one grand essential of the
Republic to-day. 1t alone has
tie Traditional greatness and the
political c de requisite for the
emergency. Around its standard
all may flock; into its purified
sanctuary all may enter. 1t alone
has the needed nucleus for an or
ganizatinn which>shull restore to
the nation the purity, nobility
and grandeur it hrst!attuined un-
der Democratic guidance, and
from which it received its resI'len-
dent re cord. 1t is impossible for
the Republican party to seek the
paths which made the Oeniocra-
cy great, and through it tie ia
ton. 1t is the most natural and
only possible thing for the De-
mocracy to do this. Hence the
day cannot be far distant when
all who believe in maintaining
the guarantees of the Constitu>
tIon will tu:n to The Democratic
party Us the only reliable agency
for that purpose.

1t is too late now for members
of Congress or thor friends to
attempt to deceive the people on
the Salary Grab question.
Those members who have not
given good evidence of having
returned their back>pay to the
Treasury may as we'll make up
their minds at once that it is
generally believed the money is
in their pockets.
Eaton weekly Democrat. [volume] (Eaton, Ohio) 1866-1875, 1873-09-11

We call attention of our re
publican readers to the following
extractfron Gov. Morton's speech
at Athens, Ohio, on the back Fay
question:
The principle involved in
back pay IS . tdifeEant orImnr-e
now than it was the first time it
was voted f r and taken. 1t is
the greatest injustice to say that
the members of the Forty Second
Congress who voted for back ray
have been guilty of stealing or
intending fraud upon the Treas
ury. Those that have taken the
money received it according to
law; a law they had as mach
power to enact as any other"
This is the "key-note'' tor the
republican organs in Ohio TO
PLAY, is it A justification OF the
increase of salaries and back ra5
steal. How do you like the sound
of this "key-notc," honest rcl'uh-
Leans?

In 1855, when the Democratic

over to the Republicans, the tax

1t annoys the Republicans to
think that the Democracy of
Ohio have nominated a farmer,
a man deeply interested in agri-
culture, as their candidate for

think it an outrage that a farmer

The Chicago Tribune says of
the salary grab: awe have been
informed aforetime, by es good
Republicans as there are in the
House of Representatives, that,
while the salary bill was pend
irg, General Grant could scarce
ly he induced to talk on any 9th
err subject. Whatever matter of
state might be broughtup inthe
conversation, he would dismiss
it impatiently, not ad.oitly, and
return to the only legislation in
which he evineed any interest,
viz, the increase of salaries. We
also know that the attendants at
the White House were the most
assiduous and efficient lobbyists
in favor Of the grab. Recent de
velopments show that General
Grant not only encouraged the
passage OF the bill, but that he
was the originator, the prompter,
and the whip as well as the
signer of the bill"

THE L1QyoB TRADE. The organ Of
the liquor interest in New York has ta-
ken pains to collect aud group all the
iaets connected with the trade in this
country. The amount OF tax on spirits
collected by the United States in 1872
was $40 ,475, ,5l6,36. This represents
about 1O0,000,000 gallons, worth at
Wholesale SS5,000,000, but which
bought at retail, about S3l7,000,000,
This aggregates money interest Of over
$400,000,000. The beer trade pays a
tax to the government OF SS,573, ,49S, ,46.
This represents a retail value of over
S2l2,000,00O, which, added to the
/ value of the article to the manufactures,
represents a money interest Of about
S300,000, 900. The wine trade repre-
sents an interest of S75 100000. The
import trade OF liquors, beer and wine
represents retail value of liquors of
$27 900 600 OF beer, So 100000; Of
wines, S135, 100000, or a total of nearly
s165, 100000. Added to all this the
capital invested in buildings and ma
chinery, etc., together with the expcn-
ses connected directly and indirectly
with the trade, the footing is at least
Sl,500,000,000.

REVENUE FROM POSTAL CARDs.-If
the New York Times is correct in its
figures, the postal card system will be a
vast addition to the revenues of the
Government. According TO Postmaster
Cresswell the potsal cards cost the Gov
ernment s1.S6 per thousand. The Or
ders up to date have reached the onor-
nous amount of 25,O00,O0O, of which
tbs cost to the people will be s250,000,
and to the Government $4,000. AL
lowing $4,000 for the additional ex-
pense of delivery-which, we presume,
is liberal allowance-and the net ad-
dition to the revenue is 100000. Yhis
is within $40, 500 enough to pay the sal
aries of the President, his seven Cabinet
officers, and the Justices Of Supreme
Court of the United States, at the ad-
vanced rates it is twice the amount of
the cost of the Tribunal of Arbitration
at Geneva; it is nearly as much as the
cost of the national currency for one
year; and it is twenty-five per cent
more than the cost OF the signal service
for one year. The Postmaster General
is confident that the demand, though it
may drop off for while, will be steadily
very great.
