TIE people of the United States
are a money-making people. The
country is rich in the original sour
ces of wealth-land, mines and pow
er-yet our consumption follows
close upon the heels Of Il proluc-
,tion. The average ma has in IN
come of $500 q year, and must sup,
port a wife and two children. If a
thief gets away with 800 of that
income the family goes short. There
are ten millions of families. U.der'
the Grant rule about seventy dollars
of tax is collected off each family
each year for the support of the
general government alone. To this
must be added the innumerable local
assessments. The taxation of the
country is greater than'it growth
in wealth. 1t is more than the peo-
pie earn above subsistence. We as
a people are now exactly in the OF
dition Of the farmer, who has been
spending more than his income, and
singing every year a mortgage for
the balance till the interest makes
him groan. The sensible and honest
people know what needs to be done.
We must 60 to work. We must not
have two idlers to one worker. We
must kill or kick out to work or
starve two thirds of the ofice-hold-
ing fraternity, and reduce sixty per
cent. the pay of the remainder. We
must have a medium of exchange
that will enable a man to pay a dol
lar of debt with a dollar of property.
We don't want a money that is simp-
ly a commodity to be corncred in the
markets so as to sacrifice manufac-
turers and business men at the plea
sure ofan organized money oligarchy.
To sum the matter up, we want a
chance to go to work, and then we
want to go, if we would again be-
come q prosperous people. Elect
Hayes and give us four more years
of the Grant ring rule, and We will
have beggars thicker here than they
even were in Italy.

Everything dead, business at a
stand still, mills, manufactures, forg-
es, furnaces, rolling mills, and all
kinds of establishments closed, with
hundreds of thousands of working
men out of employment and in want
with the terrible burden of taxa
ton bearing down to the very earth
and the load still on the increase
this is the state of affairs after six
teen years of the rule of the Repub-
lican party. Will you submit to it
any longer, voters of the country?
If not, then let your cry be "Tilden,
Hendricks and Reform" and work
from uow till the day of election for
their success.

T~I1DEN-THEN AND NOW.

Previous to the St Louis conven-
ton the Chicago Srt6une (Radical)
wrote as follows concerning Gov. Til
den:
"Mr. Tildee is aman of acknowl-
edged intellectual ability; he has a
fair personal reputation and owing to
his services in prosecuting the Tweed
"ring," was elected Governor of New
York by a grateful people. Since he
has been governor he has been known
to the whole world as a reformer and
as a vigorous prosecutor of official
frauds. He, as q Democrat stands
before phe people in somewhat the
same popular light that Bristow does
as a Republican. The great moral
sentiment of the people is in favor
Of electing to the presidency not only

all participation in past corruption,
but also a man who has a record as a

weeder out of the rotten and criminal

elect such a man, no matter by what
party he is nominated"

been discovered to be a railroad

WORD TO T WORKING MEM

This campaign is yours. 1t is for
your families, and your action attic
polls in in November will give evil
dence of the fact whether or not you
are more for your wives and children
than for mere party. What is your
situation now? If you have employ
ment, does the mere pittance you re-
ceive for your hard labor suffice to
furnish you with the necessity of life?
Are you able to pay your rent with
out depriving your children of bread?
Now is your time for action. Let
your voices be raised for a change.
let your votes be cast for a change.
Reform is the watchword, an ! to eff
feet 4 reform a change in the admin
i~stration is the first step. Your condi-
ton cannot be made any worse un-
der the guidance of Uncle Sammy
Tilden than it is to-day, and you have
the assurance of history that a
change of rulers after q panic always
restored confidence and brought
good times in its train.
Can you longer hesitate? Look at
your fellow men, in great numbers.
discharged every day. Loook at
Altoona where the Penn'a R. r. Co,
has been compelled to discharge
over Ofteee hundred men within the
past two weeks, and the end is not
'a yet. A hard winter is approaching
and if the command for q change is
not ratified at the polls, woe betide
the sufferer. DurinS the past three
years you have hardly made money
enough to keep soul and body togeth'
er, and if Hayes is elected it will be
but a continuation of the present ad.
ministration, present hard times and
thieves in office.
Laboring men, give this matter
your attention! WiUes of la6orihs
men, enlist in the fight; persuade you'
husbands to cast one vote for goa
and your children. Give them to
to understand that they have voted
for party, low wages and starvation
long enough.

Campbell's maj.

The men who carry the Republi-
can party of Preble County in their
pants pockets we have watched for
years, and we know them to be cor
rupt and will do anything to sub
serve their party. Their ways are
dark and tortuous, but a full survey
always discloses that they lead, nc
matter how im~perceptibly at first,
but to oEe result-their own aggran-
dizement at the expense of the pub
lie.

not get half as much for his work.
Why is it? The manufacturer can
not afford to pay even that, and must
cut down or close his shop. Why is
it? All over the land the cry Of
"hard times comes in, and the wal

because they have so directed legis

The public records prove that with

have increased the number of office
holders from 5A,297 to 94,719,

heads on hand, and the number in
creasing. "Reform is necessary"
But in order to have reform we must
have a change. The Republicans

out of office, reduce salaries, nor dis
pense with supernumeary officials.

The Radical Disunion leaders are
astouislied to find that they cannot
rely on the colored vote in any South
ern Stote. Everywhere the negroes
are finding that their interests do not
lie with in the color line, and, led by
their judgement and the detestation
they feel for the scoundrels who have
cheated and plundered them, they are
fiockin5 to the Democratic camp. In
timidation. threats and murder fail to
stop the stampede, and the bloody
affair at Charleston, carefully plotted
by Chamberlin, not only failed of its
aim, but reacted against its authors.

abvisedly, in saying that so large will
be the conservative colored vote that
the Democrats will carry every South
ern State, including South Carolina.

Every member of Lincoln's cabi-

ception is Simon Cameron, who was
Secretary of War for a short time,
but removed by Honest Old Abe. be-
cause the capitalists Of the country
refused to loan the government any
more money as long as the big boss
thief remained in the cabinet. And
Simon now runs the Hayes campaign.
In 1871 the New York Times said:
at is not only an honor but a plea
sure to vote for Samuel j. Tilden, an
honest Democrat" In 1876 the
Times saws: SHE is a fraud, a thief,
a corruptionist, a liar, a traitor, &c"
As Tilden was not q candidate fol
the Presidency in 1871, we presume
the Times told the truth then-and
