PATRoNIzE YOUR HOME MERoHASTs.--
There is SO much good sense in the following
reasons for patronizing home merchants that
we gladly publish them and call the careful
attention of our readers to them - aAses
1st. 1t is your home you cannot improve
it much by taking money away to spend Or
invest.
I'd. There is no way Of improving a place
SO much as by encouraging good merchants,
good schools and good people to settle
amongst you and this cannot be done unless
you spend your money at home. .
Sd. Spend your money ct home, because
there is where you generally earn it; it is
your duty.
4th. Spend your money at home, because
when it is necessary for you to get credit, it
is your town merchants you have generally to
get it from, and they must wait for the
money therefore when you have the cash in
hand spend it at home.
9th. Spend your money at home. It will
make better merchants of your merchants I;
they can and will keep better assortments and
sell at lower rates than if the only business
they can do is credited out, while the money
goes to other places. T9'aA
9th. Spend your money at home. You
may have sons growing up who will some day
be the best merchants in the town help lay
the foundation for them now it is duty I;
it may be pride in after years to say, "By
my trading at the store got my son posi-
ton as clerk, and now he is the proprietor. :"
Then you will think il your neighbors spend
their money out of town. Set the example
now.
18th. Spend your money at home. Set the
example now. Buy your dry goods, gro
ceries, meats and everything at home, and
you will see wonderful change in a short
time in the business outlook of the place /;
therefore deal with your merchants.
9Th. Spend your money at home. What
do you gain by going off /? Count the cost,
see what you could have done at home by
letting your merchants have the cashs Strike
a balance and see if you would not have been
just as well of, besides helping your mcr-
chants. gatf
9th. Spend your money at home. Your
merchants are your neighbors, your friends,
they stand by you in sickness-are your asso-
ciates without your trade they cannot keep
their business. No stores; then no banks, no
one wanting to buy property to settle on and
build on and build up your place.
10th. Merchants should do their advertise
ing at home, they should get billheads, cir
culars, cards, envelopes and all their printing
at home, of their own newspapers, who aid
them in many ways and advertise them hum
dreds of times without any pay whatever.
Merchants should set an example to their
customers by patronizing literally their home
newspapers. Men and women are initiative
animals, and are prone to follow examples set
them. How can merchants expect their
neighbors to trade with them if they set the
example of going away from homo for their
printing and advertising? Let merchants
and people all patronizs home industry and
home enterprise and home trade. So shall
we all become prosperous and happy.

oppose paying the special bounty poll tax as
sessed in this city, that the tax has already
been paid to the full amount of the bonds is
sued, then It is manifestly unjust to longer
continue the special taxes. But it is not GER
tain by any means that it is true. The re-
port made to Council by Messrs. W. v.
Cooley and N. v. Young, two years ago,
showed that of the bounty tax assessed be-
tween 1865 and 1871, only about one-half was
collected and that at that time there was

were collected and Incorporated, a bounty
debt still existing Of $23,919.97. This

since. About twelve thousand dollars of it
has been paid, leaving about twelve still due

THAT'S THE TALK

This is the way the Vicksburg
Herald talks over the Democratic
victory in Mississippi:
"Oh, let it not be said in the fu-
ture that our victory has been bar
ren Of goodi Let us use the bless
ings that have been granted US, that
all the people efthis State, of every
age, sex, color, and race, and of
every political creed shall have
cause to rejoice hat we have won
this victory. We + now response
bic that Mississippi pursues the
path of peace and prosperity. She
has again emerged from the dark
ness; SO let the glorious light of her
redemption she'd its effulgence over
all the whites and blacks, that all
may live in harmony, and blessed
with contentment and prosperity.
Then shall we indeed have won a
victory whose glory a never fade
Amen!

Some of our papers + calling
loudly for a registry system for cleo
lions in Ohio. The Baltimore Amer
lean thus speaks ofthe system:
mo executive or judicial officer in
the State yields such absolute power
as the register Of voters. He can
disfranchise as many voters as he
pleases by merely drawing his pen
through their names. The citizen
who is thus deprived of his vote has
no notice of the proceeding until he
presents himself at the polls and is
told that his name does not appear
on the list"
No system presents as many OPP
portunities for fraud as the registry
system.

OUR GROWTH IN POPULATION.

There is one element of wealth, one
agency in recovery from prostration
possessed by this country, which we
are apt to forget when misfortune
.oveFtakes us; we mean immigration.
If we did not have this unfailing
fountain to draw fresh supplies of
life and vigor from, our recovery
from such ~depressions as that now
prevailing would be comparatively
slow; if we were exporters, Instead
of importers of able-bodied men, the
case would be still worse. Able
bodied men and women are the most
valuable of all imports that can be
brought to the shores of a new
try-and they possess Il feature
that other imports do not; they cost
nothing. Thirty tons of English
rails purchased for a railroad il. this
country would cost probably $1,000
in England; and the expense of get
ting them to a Western State would
be 500 more. But when q robust
foreigner arrives on our shores we
have an addition of $1,000 worth of
labor to our wealth that costs nothing
at all; the newcomer pays his own
way and asks nothing of us but the
right of working for his liv ne. A
recently taken State census of New
York illustrates the value of this
source of wealth. Tie population of
this State is given at 4,9l6,604, an
increase of 1904, S27 in the last ten
years, and of 534,S45 in the last five
years. The gain since 1865 has been
2SR per cent, or 2 s. a year, a larger
rate of increase than is exhibited in
either of the last four decades. 1t is
taken for granted, therefore, that the
country has regained its old ratio OF
increase before the war, which was
about one-third fol every ten years,
If this estimate is correct, the pres
ent population of the United States
is about 40, 500, DOC, and the popula
ton at the next census, five year:
hence, will be 5 3,000,0 00. This Wig
t orous growth, unequalled in any 9Th
, er country on the globe, will of itsel
f lift US out of the embarrassment int,
which the panic of 1872 plunged us
we shall grow out of the trouble, a
well as work out Of it.
1t is well enough to keep thi
, strange recuperative agency befor
, us. During the ten years, the mum
Der of immigrants arrived on on
shores was 3,379,627-enough t
form two States as populous as Mas
. sachusetts. So that, in addition t
n the natural growth Of populatio
possessed by other nations, we hay
y an immigration that gives enoug
population to form two powerft
/ States every decade. When we cain
" reflect that this stream of 10000
immigrants per annum is steadil
pouring in upon us, and affectin
+ every part of the land; that our pol
= ~ulation five years hence will be 53
000, 900; that the population of Mi
! souri, will be 100000 and the pc!
ulation o. St. outs over 100000
!, will become clear hat it is our dut
not to repine at the depression til;
affects the land, but to prepare fl
the vigorous new growth that
q about to succeed it.-NiSSouTi r.

The Cleveland Plaindealer says
we shall e some lively whipping in
to the Republican kennel next sum-
mer. Just let Grant get the wires
all laid and he must be a natural fool
indeed who imagines that any Re-
publican newspaper will dare go back
on the arrangement. The party isn't
strong enough for any such high
flown independence. Whoever gets
hold of the helm will be boss Of the
ship, and there is every prospect now
that Grant will stand at the wheel.

CHEAP READING!

The pronuncimento of President
GRANTS kitchen organ-the Wash
ington Chronicle-that the Presi-
dents nomination for a Third Term
is indispensable to Republican sue
cess in the Presidential election OF
next year, has caused beads of per-
SEPARATION to stand on the editorial
brow of many a Republican journal
throughout the country. The
Philadelphia Inquirer, a strong
Republican journal, thus delivers
itself on the subject: 9
The Republican party has placed
itself fairly before the -euntry in
connection with the Third Term
business, and the leading Republi.
can States, among them Pennsyl
vania, New York, Ohio and Massa.
~chusetts, have, through their STATE
Conventions, declared against thu
Third Term project in language Sc
decisive as to render q Third Tern
for any President simply impossible
They have settled that question
it is as dead as dead can be, and ne
number of kitchen organs or any
other sort Of organs can ever bring
it to life again, no matter wha
tunes they play, or how loud they
play them. The thing is dead be
You'd resuscitation, and buried be

No one can read the developments
brought to light by the investiga-
ton into the whisky frauds without
being impressed with the belief that
GRANT and his kindred, who are so
refreshingly intermingled with tie
various offices of this government
are directly interested in and con-
nected with the entire system of
fraud and corruption. The follow
ing is from the St. Louis Weslich
Post.
The Washington kilograms, writ
ten in cypher, which + before the
grand jury, warning the distillers of
this city of their imminent danger,
are based upon and derived from a
knowledge which at that time but
two persons possessed. Only BRIs-
TOW and GRANT knew of the steps
that were being taken, and as we
know that t.ese signals of warning
were not given by BRIsrow, they
could have only come from GRANT,
or one in his confidence. The whole
country, therefore, points already to
the notorious BABcoCK, GRANTS
body william, false measurer, and
swindler in general, as well as the
head of all the corrupt scoundrels
and newspapers in 1872 in particular.
Of whom, to use a familiar legal
phrase, such a misdeed is to be eX-
pected."
1t may be hat the Republican
papers and speakers can explain
this all away and establish GRANTS
innocence. If they do, they GER
tainly ought to attempt a second
creation of a universe. The editor
of the Eaton Register Can take the
stand.

AN IMPORTANT DUTY.

One of the most important auXll-
Iaries in the dissemination of Demo
cratic sentiments is the local Demo
cratic paper. 1t is not only natural,
but we are morally required in poll
tics asin every thing else, when we
are satisfied that our sentiments are
to endeavor to impress the
truth of our own convictions upon
our neighbors. We may do this,
reasoning with them by their own
actions, and in almost numberless
ways. When we neglect any means
in our power to convert them to our
views, we neglect the performance of
a duty. We are all in some measu-e
0our brothers keeper and to some
extent, responsible for his condition.
The truth of this, all must admit,
and yet how wofully this dnty is
neglected by Democrats in this coun-
tv. We have mel whose convictions
are strong, that their political opin-
ions are right, and yet they never
make an attempt to enlighten or
strengthen their neighbors. They
never make an attempt TO dissent
nate correct Democratic principles,
by the circulation of democratic
newspapers. They sadly neglect
their duty in this respect. Every
Democrat in Preble county is just as
much interested politically, in i'll
creasing the circulation of the DEN
ocRAT as we are, and yet how many
there are who never have asked a
neighbor even to read it, much less
to subscribe for it. If we did not
believe it was to the interest of the
party to have it published. we would
never issue another number. Ifyou
reader, desire to see it published; Il
you believe that the interests Of the
party are promoted by having it reg
ularlv issued, then manifest your be
lief by some kind of works. If thu
distribution of five hundred copies i!
beneficial, would not fifteen hundred
or two thousand be more so? and thu
only reaso on that we have not two
thousand subscribers is, that yoI
have not as a good Democrat, dom
your duty in this respect. Our sub
scription list can easily be increased
40 double its present number, ifeacl
subscriber would make q little effort
Light and information are all that i
necessary to effect a political revo
luton.
We have an important P%residentia
campaign just ahead of US. If tn
people are rightly informed we wi
triumph. To give them that inform
alton, Democratic papers must b
, circulated. Then let every Demo
erat who loves his principles and pal
, ty, 90 to work and procure new sui
, scribers. Don't wait for your neigh
| bors to do it, but e to it yoursel
and send us the names and we wi
) forward the paper.
