i was pretty sure you would renew
your subscription. Most Democrats who
do not turn their heads to one side, loll
out their tongue and make a clumsy x
for their signature, take the STANDARD,
and pay for it.
l never did insult Democrats, or even
say bitter things about them becapse
there are rascals in the party. will ad-
init that l have met meaner, more dis
honorable men who have acted with the
Republican party, than l ever met in the
Democratic party. Perhaps it was be-

them. But here is the difference.
could give even these bad men credit for
their correct party action, while l was
astonished at the rascally party action of
much better men who acted with the
Democratic party.
do not believe that men, or parties,
should be. abused because of difference of
opinions, when the carrying out of those
opinions works no wrong to others. You
are, physically, much my superior Sup
pose you should come to the conclusion
that God sanctioned the right of the
strong to appropriate the labor of the
weak, and in carrying out this opinion
you should seize me and compel me and
my descendants to labor for you for moth
ing. You would .claim that this "opin-
ion" would be no crime. l claim that it
would be crime, both against God and
man, and if the case were reversed, and
you were the weaker party, and were en-
slav ed and sold, then you would regard it
as a crime. Now this is all there is, and
has been, of your party, one gigantic ef-
fort to oppress and enslave the weak and
helpless.
As you did not vote for Greeley, l can
not put at you the following resolution,
passed by your party at its last national
1--WE recognize the equality
Of all before the law. and hold that it is
the duty of Government, in it's dealings
With the people, to mete equal and exact

color or persuasion, religious or political"
You know that that resolution was q
shame-a cheat-a lie.
You think we all sheuld live in peace,
and endeavor to quiet the asperities of
the war. Your first letter to me admit
ted that up to the election last fall l had
not been bitter partisan. l knew that
your party was dishonest, and acting the
''possum' 10 get power, but l was willing
to take it at its word, and treat it as sim
cere, and so ! treated its acts with for
bearance; but a partial success brought
out the old rebel yell, and the disguise
was thrown off, and the war upon human
rights renewed.
With you, l believe vast majority of
the American people are at heart honest.
and lovers of justice; hence 1 believe
that not only nearly all the Republicans
but hosts of Democrats, will repudiate
the damnable principles of your party,
and keep it out of power for all time to
come.
In answer to your inquiry about draft
ing Democrats. l will say that think it
should not have been done, and if l had
been a Democrat. no power could have
compelled me to take up arms, only on
the rebel side. Under Democratic adj
ministration, when you had the fugitive
slave law, and every man was required,
on demand Of your Democratic Marshals
to become a slave hound, if | had been
commanded to assist in catching fugi-
tive slave, l would have defied your ma
tional officers. They might have i'm
prisoned me, or put me to death; but l
would have suffered martyrdom before
would have raised a finger to prevent
human being from acquiring the inalien-
able right to his liberty. But while
would not have compelled Democrat to
fight against his conscience, would have
disfranchised every one of them who did
any act in favor Of the rebellion. No
man should claim, as a right, any privi-
leges under a Government which he has
attempted to destroy. To be permitted
to live and hold property should be the
highest expectation of all rebels. They
should never have been permitted again
to vote or hold office There is just
where my party committed the fatal err
ror, and now Congress is being filled
with men who were so recently making
bloody war to destroy the Government.
What l meant by your saying you are
another" was this: when l told you of
the bad action of your party, you retorted
by saying, in substance, that my party
had done bad things also That is not
the way that l think is best. Let all
well meaning men, like you and me,
condemn wrong wherever we find it
whether in our own party or in some
other

We are under obligations to Hon. c. S
Smart, State Commissioner of Common
Schools, for copy of the "First Annual
Report of the State Inspector of Mines. -
1t is an exceedingly valuable and inter
esting document. We became personally
acquainted with Mr.. Roy, State Inspec-
tor. when he visited this place last sprin..
We found him not only an educated geol-
ogist, but thoroughly sensible and prac
tical man.
We make few extracts from the Re-
port this week, and will publish iurther
extracts hereafter:
THE LOWER Coal BED.-Nearly one
half of the annual aggregate coal produc-
vion of the State is drawn from the lower
coal seam (No. l of the Geological nomen-
clature), its main mining centers being
the Mahoning valley, the Tuscarawas
valley, and the jackson county coal re-
gion. In the Mahoning valleyi it is known
as "Briar Hill coal and Mineral Ridge
coal" in the Tuscarawas valley as Mos
sillon coal, and in jackson county as
furnace coal or jackson coal" 1t is,
in general cases, a magnificent furnace
coal, and is mainly used for smelling iron
as it comes from the miners pick. The
Briar Hill coal Of the Mahoning valley is,
perhaps superior to the coal Of all other
points. Like all furnace Goals it pos.
sesses a laminated structure, splitting
into sheets, and is very difficult to break
on the opposite side OF the lamina. The
faces of the layers are often covered Will,

. Kansas-Two Sides to the Question.

To the Editor of the Standard:
Your paper recently contained letter
from one j. R. Musgrove, prefaced by a
fowery preamble by Mr.. w, D. Phillips
in which it is claimed that there exists
no real necessity for aid in Kansas, and
that there is also much corruption in the
distribution Of supplies sent.
Now, it is Observable, from the letter
referred to, that Mr.. Musgrove has been
engaged in the business of disbursing
agent himself, and this fact alone does
not speak we'll of his remarkable homes
ty, so highly spoken of by Mr.. Phillips.
At least, if Mr. NJ. tells the truth, he has
been engaged himself in an illegitimate
business, with full knowledge thereof.
Perhaps he has been superseded by the
'long, hungry, seedy-looking individual,
with red nose" of whom he speaks so
very contemptuously. He is evidently
mad at Smith, for some reason.
At the request of. the jackson County
Relief Committee, compilation of eX-
tracts from letters will here be added, as
the best means of proving the utter fall
sity of Musgrove's statement. We con-
fess we do not know Mr.. Ms motive in
writing such letter; but he certainly
has one. If we were TO guess at it, we
should say that he desired the lions
share, and that the "unprincipled men"
of whom he speaks found it to their in
terest to accept his resignation for the
good of the service.
This Committee working without pay,
and as we believe, for suffering humani
ty, do not propose to be silent under the
imputaton of being engaged in an ille-
gitimate business. When we embark in
that kind of business, we shall choose a
more remunerative vocation, at least.
But let US proceed to read few of the
extracts alluded to:
Alfred Gray, Sec'y of the Board of Ag-
riculture, of Kansas, in a report Jan. %,
rs, to Gov. Osborn, says: "32, GA need
relief; there are SOFT needing mems
clothes; 9,758 needing women's clothing;
and l6,472 needing children's clothing
An estimate made as to the cost of sup
pOEGinR tue uSStllulS lIOltl ISc. AZ u dHO
l, showed that daily rations would cost
IA cents each. At this rate 32,6l4 per
sons to be provided for, could be sup
ported the 100 days for $547 ,9l5. The
sum of S7S, ,795 is now needed for the pur-
chase of seed for destitute farmers; and
Sl23.045 for the purchase of forage for
their horses, al lowing one span of horses
to each family"
This is official. This agrees exactly
with Mother Bickerpyke's letter to j. L.
Grimes of this place, published in the
II erald, that the number OF destitute is
81, 900, and the suffering is even greater
than she expected to find it. Let Mr..
Musgrove tell 18th Army Corps boy
that Mother Bickerdyke does not tell the
truth and he will receive a cartridge box

The last number of the Ironton Demo


crat contained the following editorial:
The social rights bill, which by the fiat of
Republican Congress is now the supreme law of
the land, goes considerably further than simply
to secure to the negro the equal enjoyment of
political or even social rights. In addition to
forcing him into our hotels theatres, cemete-
Ties, churches and public conveyances, it goes a
step farther, and in fact places the negro upon
better vantage ground than his white fellow
citizen. To exemplify this, let us suppose an
instance: A party of ladies and gentlemen
stop at the Ironton House, in our CITY, and re-
quest Mr.. Wood, its proprietor, not to admit
any Germans during their stay. Suppose, for
the sake of argument, that he acquiesces in
their request. Soon after, John Schmidt son
of Teutonia, calls and demands accommoda-
tion. Mr.. Wood politely says to him: "AIy
friend, am heartily sorry but cannot receive
you in my house; my guests object to your
presence because you are a German
Johns only redress under these circumstances
is to go elsewhere and if he be much enraged
and bent upon revenge, he can sue Mr.. Wood
in our Common Pleas Court, and recover such
damage as jury of his peers see fit to allow.
Not SO with Cufy! Let Mr.. Wood tell any ne
gro about what he told this German, and the
case is very materially different. Let him say
"Cuffy, 1 can't keep you, for my guests object
to your presence, because you are an African"
and what follows? The negro can drag Bro
Wood to Cincinnati. into the District Court
mulct him in fine of ''not less than five hun
dred dollars, nor more than one thousand dol
lars" and have him imprisoned for a term not
less than thirty days nor exceeding one year.
Is there never to ba an end of Demo
cratic lying? Here is the section of the
law that defines the equal rights of all
men, and the only section on the sub
ject, the other sections only defining the |
mode of punishment for violation of |
this section:
SECTION l. That all persons within the juris-
diction of the United States shall be entitled to
the full and equal enjoyment of accommoda-
tions, advantages facilities and privileges of
inns, public conveyances, land or water,
theatres and other places of public amusement,
subject only to conditions and limitations es-
tabiished by law and applicable alike to citi-
zens of every race and color, regardless of any
previous condition of servitude.
Now where can this anonymous liar
find any distinction between the German
and the African, unless the German is
not "a person within the Jurisdiction of
the United States" This fellow talks
about forcing the negro into churches and
cemeteries. This is false, unless church
es and cemeteries are places of public
The late cowardly Congress
was afraid to give the African and his
children the right to go to the public
schools, supported by his taxes as we'll as
those of the white man. This cowardly
Congress was afraid to let the bodies of
the Africans be buried in the public Gem
stsries This Congress was the represep- i

tative OF great nation, claiming to be
C5ris,iaa nation, where large sums of
money are raised every year to send mis-
sionaries to convert the heather in Afri-
ca. What do we want with Africans in
Heaven, when we will not permit them
to be taught to read the Bible. or permit
their poor bodies to have Christian burial?
That lie published in the Ironton DEM
ocrat will be read by hundreds of igno
rant voters in Lawrence county, who will
never see the truth, and hundreds of Re
publicans in that county will vote the
Democratic ticket, as they did in the
years 1867 and 1874 Lawrence county

gion towards Virginia and Kentucky,
and the sum of all villaiuies" still over
shadows it like the tail of a nightmare.

The Gallipolis Journal last week gave
list of the taxpayers in Gallipols in
the year 1920. The entire valuation of
property then was 64,954, and the tax
on it was $l72 43. Now the valuation
in the city is 81, ,949, ,339, and the tax $780,
6S2 81. In the year 1920 we notice that
Samuel F. Vinton had property worth
eighty dollars, and paid seventy cents
taxes. The richest man in Gallipolis
then was c. R. Menager, whose property
was valued at "a ,535, and he paid taxes
to the amount of Sl4 S5.
