The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

The Auditor Of the State reports
that for the year ending November
10Th, 1873, he received into the
State Treasury, from all sources,
the sum of $6,S14, 900. But under
Democratic auspices for the year
ending November 18th, 1874, he re-
ceived Sc ,O24,OOO being a REDUCTION
of $4,000! Is that no saving
to the taxpayers and laboring men:
For the year ending the 10Th of No.
vember, 1873, under Republican
rule the expenditures amounted tc
$5,6S4,000, while for the year end
ing November 18th, 1874, under
Governor Allen, the expenditure
amounted to only $5,214,O 600, SAY
ING to the taxpayer the snug sun
of $1,469,00O IN one yeary Which
will you vote for, taxpayers o
Preble County? Hayes and IN
CREASED taxation, or Allen anG
economy, more money and better
times2 Choose We between them!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

Hayes has now invested in six
per cent. gold bearing bonds, five
thousand five hundred dollars, stolen
from the taxpayers, through his
salary and back pay grab of 1S66-67.
Do the farmers and laborers of
Ohio want such a man for Governor:
Let them answer on Tuesday next
with a numbering NO!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

The farmer off of his farm, by
hard labor from dawn to dark, re-
ceives a return of neal three per
cent. on his investment. The Ma
tional Banker with no toll, makes
near forty per cent. on his invest
ment. Is this a fair division?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07
GEN HAYES.

Gen. Rutherford B. Hayes, who
spoke in Eaton on Saturday last, and
was introducedt to his audience, by the
patched Crusade candidate for Re
preventative, as the "neXt Governor
of Ohio" forgot to tell his audience
that he recommended to the Legisla-
ture, when he was Governor, an APP
preparation to build a mansion for
the Governor at a cost not to ex-
coed 100000. He also forgot to
tell his taX-ridden hearers that when
he had a seat in Congress in 1866,
that he took $4,000 back pay; and
that when he ran against Banning in
the Second District of Hamilton
County in 1872, he was defeated, al
though a Republican district, by up
ward of 1900 majority. 1t was his
salary-gra6 that defeated him. And
the people-the honest and indie
pendent voters-cf the State, as we'll
as of Preble County, to put this
brand upon him-a SALARY
GRABBER, to the amount OF $4,000,
land back pay at that). He should
be mildly requested to cover his
grab with the accrued interest, into
the public treasury.
J. Minor Miliken, candidate fol
State Treasurer, also spoke here OF
Saturday. In 1912, this same Majol
Milliken, while concerned in tn,
management of the Bank at Hamil
ton, was indicted by a Grand Jury c
Butler County for illegal acts and off
cial Irregularities! Is he a fit persol
to take charge of our State Treasury
A nice couple to address the homes
farmers of Preble County! The on
a public robber of the people
money, the other a criminal ACCORD
ing to the records of Butler County
Choose We, Farmers, Mechanics an
Laboring men of Preble Count,
which will you have to govern yo1
t the Salary-grabber and Butl'
+. County criminal, or the pure, hone
and upright old farmer, BILL A
LEN, against whose public life
fifty years, the breath of suspicic
has never been breathed!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

A vote for ALLEN, is n vote in the
interest of economy and honesty
it is a vote against a monied mono
poly which is already grinding the
laboring classes to the earth-it is a
vote in favor of a sound currency,
and the destruction of q banking
system that costs the people twenty
million dollars yearly to sustain.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07
The wages of labor have fallen on

The wages of labor have fallen on
an average of 335 per cent. in the
last two years, while food and fuel
are as high as ever. Thus the la
borer who three years ago earned So
a day, on the average, now earns
only $2--if he can get work at all
while the prime necessities of life
cost just as much as they did before.
Where is the fault? Who is respon-
sible for this destruction of indus
try, for this suffering of honest
workingme.? The Republican par
ty, says the New York Sun, and its
system of Grantism AID plumber.
Let w~orkingmen remember this, and
vote accordingly.

The Radical party in its extremity

The Register admits that A. L.
Harris draws a pension as an mcdlid,
and that is all that is necessary, for
the reason that every voter in Preble
County who knows that he is not IN
any rag ncapacitated by reason Of
rounds for the prosecution Of any
and all Of his business, and, there,
fore, that he is monthly u~njGstly
taking from a tax-ridden people theil

The laboring and producing class
can relieve themselves now by voting
for Allen. If they fail to do their
duty to themselves at the ballot box
this fall the responsibility must rest
with them alone.

When a man admits over his own
signature that he has once 'falsely"
made charges against a fellow man,
we are inclined to the opinion that
no one will be found soft enough to
place any dependence on,any state
ment he may make.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

Why didn't the Cincinnati Com
mercial, for the consolation of tie
laboring classes, keep the value Of
the Bond. holders dollar standing at
the head of its column? 1t would
have been cheering to those who dc
not belong to the untaxed aristocracy
spawned by modern legislation.

We give the above exactly as it
came to us. AS we are aware of the
fact that Mr.. Turner can both read
and write, and as this card is signei
with a mark, We are not sure of its
commences. We trust it is a forg-
cry, for if Mr.. Turner did write it, it
places him in the humiliating posi-
ton of having, over his own sigma
ture, publicly admitted himself to
be a liar. We don't believe this card.
We have nothing to do with Mr..
Turner, but OIdfather was dismissed
from the distillery, and it is from
the Revenue Collector, Williams,
that we ask the reason of the dis
missal He has refused to give the
reason, and we set this last marked
card down rs Il last desperate resort
of the whisky rng to make a false
deal,

Two years ago the Republican
party in Ohio, in convention, re-
solved to repudiate every member of
Congress interested in the Salary
grab, and to-day asks the people to
place in power, as Governor, the
man Hayes, who pocketed fifty-fve
hundred dollars of that steal! This
is q little thin, and entirely toe ham,!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-10-07

What the people want is light
taxes, fair prices for laLor and pro
ducts, enough money to keep bust
ness active, and an honest and econ,
omical administration of public af
fairs. None of these things can be
secured by electing the Radical
ticket. The Radical leaders are
pledged to high taxes, contraction
extravaganza and corruption.

The motto of the Republican party
in Ohio: Long live the Salary-grab-

There was but n township in
Preble County that sent a delegation
to the Bull roast on Saturday last,
and that the one whose candidate
was four times snubbed by the Ring
masters! Somers, old Somers! of
course, took the banner, but it was
on condition OILY that it was given.
1t seems that even in the promise OF
a banner, the Ring T inclined tc
lie or cheat the people!

At the request of Col. Harris, I

At the request of Col. Harris, I
make the following statement.
l was for some years the examin-
ing Surgeon of the Department for
this county, and during that time I
examined him at each biennial peri
cd, and reported the degree of his
disability to the Pension Agent at
Cincinnati. His disability was caus-
ed by a gun shot, the ball passing
through the right arm, a little below
the elbow joint, disabling him, in my
opinion, to the extent of at least one
half of total disability.
A. Ii. STEPHENS, N. ID.
Eaton, Oct. 4, 1875.
AS DR.. Stephens has not been ex-
aiming Surgeon for several years,
as he informs us he knows nothing
about the prese4t physical abilityof
Mr.. Harris, and consequently the
above card amounts to nothing. EN-
cry man, woman and child in Eaton,
that knows Col. Harris, know that
that he is no inUaliil, and in no way
i~ncapaciated by any wound received
in the war, from pursuing his bust
ness, and We charge now, as we have
before, that he is not now, and for
years has not been, in any way just
y entitled to draw this pension.
