Those 'honest and consistent
Democrats, who have ''borne all the
burdens and expense of former cam
paigns'' in this county, should apply
Immediately for consolation to the
editor of the Eaton Register. Al
though not personally interested in
their affection, he is so humane and
kind, that he will sacrifice the Grant
administration to give them relief.
He has saved the country from be-
ing devoured by the Pope at an i'm
mense sacrifice, and he is now will
ing to have all of his relations perish
in order to protect these "honest and
consistent Democrats. Give him q
call. .

Every vote cast in Preble county
for Hayes for Governor, is a vote for
the administration of Gen. Grant,
which the Eaton Register has pro-
nounced corrupt 6eyondprecedentr'
Let the honest and independent vo-
tiers recollect this fact when casting
their ballots on the second Tuesday
of October next. The Convention
that nominated Hayes, proclaimed
this unprecedented corrupt adj
ministration a distinguished sue
cess" andnow ask the people of Ohio
to indorse their shameless effrontery.

RAM RATNII

The whole face of the western
country seems to be deluged with
water, and still it rains. The de-
s%truction Of Crops, Railroads, Bird
ges, Buildings, &c, is fearful, and no
doubt will be the cause of much
suffering among the farmers and
persons living in the low lands.
Such a continuous storm of wind and
rains, never was known before in
this country. When will it SOP?
seems to be the anxious inquiry of
all.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

Ten years ago, in 1865, when we
had twenty-one hundred millions of
dollars of a circulating currency, the
wages of laboring men was two and
a half dollars a day, andn man was
idle because he could not obtain en-
ployment. Now we only have q cir
culating currency Of seven hundred
millions of dollars, and the wages of
the labOrer will not average one dol
lar and ten cents a day, and it is
next to impossible to obtain work at
that price.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

There has been q contraction of
more than 81, 500, 0 900 of the vol
ume of currency since the beginning
of 1865; yet the hard money dema-
gogues are Low denying that there
has been any contraction. What is
still worse, there has been a contrac-
ton of from $l5,OOO,OOO to $4,000,
600 in the last year, and two-thirds
oft since the 18th day Of last Janu-
airy, and the public robbers are still
at their nefarious business.

Forced Resumption of Specie pay
ments is the financial gospel of the
Republican party of Ohio. Alone
through that, they assure us, is the
business salvation of the country
possible. They had a trial of forced
resumption of specie payments in
England. How did it operate in that
country? Doubleday, in his Finan-
cial History of England, tells the
story, and IL people should profit
by England's experience in the mat
ter. In 1919, Peers Bill to restore
Cash Payments was passed. 1t took
effect in 1920. Doubleday describes
the condition of the country one year
after that law went into effect as fol-
lows:
"The distress, ruin and bankrupt
cy which now took place were uni
~versal, affecting both the great inter
ests. of the land and trade. In hun
dreds of cases, from the tremendous
reduction in the price of land, the
estates barely sold for as much as
would pay off the mortgages, and
hence the owners were stripped of all
and made beggars. The tables of
both Houses of Parliament were load
ed with petitions, detailing scenes of
hardships and restitution appalling
in the extreme.
1t was an era of suffering, destitu-
ton and crime, and the whole land
was one scene of confusion, dismay
and bankruptcy.
The price of grain went on slowly
and progressively falling for a de-
cade when, il 1888, wheat was sell
ing for four shillings a bushel. Pri-
e were, upon the whole, lower than
they had been for half a century be-
fore, and Agricultural distress per-
vaded the land from one end to the
other"
Do u people want to vote such a
condition of affairs on themselves, by
voting the Republican ticket?

COST 10 THE COUNTRY,

" @tSAsN ~ SSSS ~ SsSA w ~ i - l .
A few weeks ago we published 4
statement of the cost of the Grant
administration to the country, which
the editor of the Eaton Register,
who is an office-holder under this rot
ten and thieving administration,
made a very lame effort to prove I'M
true. We this week publish in an
other column, the statement of ex-
penses of the Federal Government,
from 1919 to the present fiscal year.
1t is copied from the New York San,
which is not q Democratic paper,
and cannot be charged as made out
in the interest of the Democratic a
ty. We ask the tax payers, the far
mers, the suffering and distressed
industries of the county to read it
carefully. They will see the outra-
geous extravaganza of this man
Grant, whom the Republican party
of Ohio indorsed as q capable and
judicious statesman" and his adj
ministration as a distinguished sue
cess.!" They will learn how this
same party laughs at the distress in
the country. They will understand
what reliance can be placed on the
professions of this rotten and sun
precedented corrupt party" and
they will find that the true friends
of the labor of the country are to be
found outside of this thieving party.
A paper currency fifteen cents be-
low gold; idle hands, distress every
where; FORCES, furnaces, mills, trade,
commerce, business languishing or
out ofwork; destitutiOn in all trades;
the highest taxes; profigate waste
of the peoples money; stealing, jobs,
corruption and frauds in every de-
partment of the Government, and all
the fruits of this capable and judi
cious statesman" and his party.
Let the people read. Let every
opportunity be taken to show the
honest and oppressed taxpayers the
facts. Expose the rottenness and
outrages o fthis Grant party and his
paid satraps. Take facts and figures
so that no dispute may arise as to
the statements made on these sub
jects. Awaken further attention to
the frauds and extravaganza of the
Radical party; and then when once
the masses of our citizens compre-
bend the actual condition of affairs
as the result Of the Radical party's
rule, the remedy and the relief will
be found in the ballot-box. Change
the party in power. They have had
it long enough. We want better
times and we will try a change.
These will be the opinions of the
great majority Of the people, and
these opinions expressed at the bal
lot-box will restore prosperity to er-
cry class ofour people. 1t is at least
worthy a trial. 1t cannot be worst
ed. Let the oppressed consider this
fact.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

The Republican papers say that
Everywhere the old spirit of Repub-
lican victory is awakening" The
same spirit which has animated the
oflice-holders for sixteen years is ex-
hibited in their efforts to hold on to
their offices. The office -holders are
excited over the bare idea of being
obliged to go out Of office, and they
imagine the people feel just as they
do about it. 1t is the old spirit of
the ollice-holders that is walked up.

The last Republican Congress adj
ded MirtyJfce millions Of dollars to
the peoples taxes. The late Demo
cratic Legislature reduced the peo-
pies taxes $5S4,OOO; saved $24,O 900
in its last session and between $780,
600 and $685. 900 in officers salaries.
Yet Republican papers extol Con
gress and abuse the Legislature.
They seem to have an idea that peo-
pie love to be taxed.

SENATOR THURMAN,

Senator THURMAN spoke at Mans
field, O., on Saturday last. His
speech gave but little consolation to
the Republicans, who had built great
hopes upon what he might say in OPP
position to II currency platform.
He counseled his hard-money friends
to vote the Democratic ticket, and
thus soured on the Radicals. The
phalanx is yet unbroken. Victory
is certain.

Ex-President ANDREW JOHNSON,
died of paralysis and heart disease
on Saturday last, at the residence of
his daughter in East Tennessee,

1t is the Republican party that is
organizing the Know-Nothing lodges
in this county, which have for their
object the prescription of all foreign
ers, and yet there are Germans who
continue to act with this party, not
withstanding its bigotry and intol-
Grant spirit toward them.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

Ofall the spectators who are engi-
neering the currencyof the country
with a view to fattening on the bank
ruptcy which would follow their
contraction policy, not n can offer
a reason, which an honest man
should not be ashamed of, why the
volume of currency should not be
made and kept equal to the wants of
trade.

The man who says the Democra-
cy favor reputation when they want
to bring greenbacks to a par with
gold, is a fool, and he ought to have
sense enough to know it without be-
ing told.

Democrats are liberal so is Gen.
CARY. Democrats are satisfied with
him, and it matters not if Republi-
can leaders are not. They will of
course abuse him because he is tenn
perate in his habits, but not a mar
row minded prosecutor of all those
who are not. Let them rant.

The Democracy and farmers of

The contest in Somers towship on
the 3Oth ult., for Delegates to the
Ring Convention, from all accounts
was rather q 'heated'' affair, on
which occasion several "mills'' occur
red between prominent and aspiring
Republicans. 1t shows how good
and how pleasant it is for brethren
to dwell togetheri in unity and peace"
The editor of the Eaton Register
should see to these difficulties among
his political supporters. 'Rah for
the ticket

Allen, Cary, and more currency is
the motto of the Democracy. Hay
es, Young and harder times is the
motto of the Republicans. If self
interest is consulted, merchants. me-
chanics, farmers and all other labor
ing men will vote with the Democ,
racy, and banks, money shavers and
ollice-holders will vote with the Re.
puElicans.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

The Republicans object to Gen.
Cary, because he saw the error of
his way, and Withdrawing from the
Republican party when at the high
tide of success, joined the Democra-
cy, but they don't object to their can
didate for Lieutenant Governor, Tom
Young, for changing from a Demo
GRAFT and supporter of Vallandigham,
to a Republican, to get office.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

We should like to see our Repub-
lican brethren, who figured so large
~ in the temperance crusade, vote

could hold more poor whisky to the

Ohio.

The bondholders and their allies
are strongly opposed to the Demo
cratic platform, No wonder, for it
proposes to give the poor man an
equal chance with the bondholder,
and that is what the latter don't like.

The Republicans have proved
that CARY is a sober, temperate man.
The Democrats have proved that

The Republicans say that SAM
CARY is an office seeker, yet it is a
well-known fact that he resigned a
$4,000 U. S. Collectorship rather
than support ANDY JOHNSON. Dem
agogues and o~ffice-seekers don't re-
sign $4,000 offices for nothing.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-08-05

Every fellow who has more money
than he wants will vote for Hayes
and thus shorten up the supply,
those who think a few greenbacks
handy in the family, will vote for
Uncle William Allen"

Kentucky voted Democratic on

COLONEL FRED. GRANT has retired
from the army. He will be q bank
er at MISUNDERSTANDING.
Fred has, like his capable and
judicious' daddy, been a little ex-
expensive to our people. Educated
at the public expense, he then tray
eled in Europe at a cost to the Treas
ury of from eight to ten thousand
dollars, vas made q Colonel and
drew a Colonel's pay, and now, after
his education and travels are COM
pleted, he resigns, never having per.
formed an hours service in the ar

thus impudent and grasping. His
administration like his illustrious
daddy's has been a distinguished

TIDEWATER VIRGINIA. The New York
Herald says:
Underwater Virginia is undoubtedly one of
the most promising sections of the United
Htates, and possesses resources which, when
properly developed. will make it rauk 10 im-
portance with some of the most thriving aud
prosperous portions of the Atlantic coast. The
late war, the panic and other unfortunate cir
cumstances have up to the present retarded
the development Of this fine country and shat
tered many projects tending to raise it to its
legitimate level; but time, which cures every
III, seems 10 have removed many Of the obsta-
cles that have hitherto stood 10 the way, and
new efforts are about to be made that promise
more fortunate termination.
1.-The city of Fredericksburg, from its posi-
ton and Surroundings. must eventually become
Il great commercial and manufacturing centre,
and when lines Of railway shall be established,
communicating with the West and South, it
will almost certainly become the great cotton
emporium of the United States.
with view to placing these advantages
before the leading citizens of Northern cities,
an excursion has been projected from Fredcr-
lcksburg to New York on September |, under
the auspices of the "Rappahannock and Poto
mac immigration Society,"" A conference will
be held at Barnum's Hotel, corner Of Broad

and productiveness Of the lands 10 that section
