The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1875-10-07
What have he and bis Party Been
Doing these ten Years Of Peace ?
Schurz and his Party Respon-
SjbIe for the Situation.


The Schurz meeting on Tuesday in
| Canton was the Republican meeting Of
the campaign. The leaders spared no
expense and no effort to make ita success.
To make it imposing aud add to the
numbers our shops were shut and most
were represented in the procession.
| 1t was amusing to see the efforts made
to strangle the rag baby" The poor
radical bastard they call it now uncon-
stitutional and illegitimate) was hung
out at windows, and carried on cross
pieces on their wagons asifit were dis
loyal" and had not paid the soldier boys
inthe war and the pensions of widows
since. 1t was good enough to take for
the bonds, but not good enough to pay
the lordly bondholder's interest on the
bonds Beautiful "hard money" Ma
tional Bank, European Bondholder's
party ..4g,. ,.,. ~ .''
To particularize we may specify little
as to "baby" and notices. Our friend
Peter Newman hangs the rag baby! Camp
bell, Eek & Co. hung the rag baby Bol-
ton, Myers & Go, want their money true
as STEEL" Radical ring steal2 Russell &
Co. of Massillon, fear that Imitation will
lock our factory" Hope not, though
something has been locking factories, but
not the Democratic party. Aultman &
Co.'s wagon had "Rag money and trust,
Is inAationand, bust" What, party has
been in power and been giving US "infa-
ton and bust?" What party denounced
Horace Greeley'in 1872 for saying "the
way to resnme is to resume ?"
The wagon of the Printing Press es-'
tablishment had two presses and little
handbills hung around and placard
with, Democratic currency Democrat
ic iccurrency! Why, what party has been
and is yet in power? What party gave
birth to greenbacks and National Bank
currency? Shakespeare said "it would
seem as if Natures iourneymen had
made some mem and not made them
wellh The real question .is-shalI the.
Government borrow money to redeem
the greenbacks ,and increase National
Banks, donating them the currency 2
Shall the government continue to be run
in the Interest Of the moneyed power
and to the injury and robbery Of indus7
try, honest business and labor2
One wagon carried the rag baby's'
coffinl How very kind 1t ought to, be
buried before it stinks too bad ! How
would it do to bury it with the Grant
radical party next year2 1t is supposed
a little rottenness is there tool Some
relationship as we think
One wagon had "Bill Allen and the
measles, we'll have them only once"
They want Hayes and Salary Grab and
third term, more than once No ac-
counting for taste these days.
Mr.. Schurz's speech was the same de-
livered at Cincinnati and printed, 1t is
harangue against Unlimited initiation
which he charges upon Governor Allen
and the Democracy without one attempt
at proof in any shape or form. The mani
| knows better, for he is not a fool. And
we cannot but wonder at Mr.. Schurz's
motiue in hurrying over from Europe to
plunge into our,contest in Ohio. What
the consideratiVJwas he knows; we do
not. 1t is charged that his price, paid
I by the European bondholders, was SlOf
l0o0g OF the truth of this we ,kHo$ rot
But all must admit that his course is re-
markable, esneeially too, when we coH
slider his pettifogging argument. 'a7i
In noticing Mr.. Meyers questions
sehurz admitted1hat he vSed for the
Resumption Act ofIastsprinA 1tthere-
fore appears he is in favor of forced re
sumptiqn--thst is he is, in favor Of the
Government buying silver and gold, by
borrowing money. at s. per cent! viii
