The Racine Advocate says:
The Jail seems to receive more than
it's usual allowance Of tramps of late,
and the expense to the city from this
source is yearly growing larger. Can
nothing be done to remedy this grow
ing evil Of the times, and tramps be
compelled to work by law for their sub
sfstence, is a question that grows in
importance day by day. Laziness ought
to be an offense punishable by law, and
all tramps are well enough to work that
are well enough to travel, land competent
to become producers instead of drones
in society.

several States, in the Senate, Gas the
result of an agreement of joint COM
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-10-04
Difference

The leaders of the Republican
party created the bonded debt; the
Democrats were opposed to its crea-
ton. A Republican Congress ex.
empted the bonds from taxation,
while the Democrats voted against
the exemption.
A Republican Congress voted tc
require those untaxeu bonds to be
paid in coin, while the Democrats
voted against that proposition, and
claimed that under the law they were
payable in greenbacks.
A Republican Congress gave mill
ions of acres ofland which belonged
to the people, to railroad corpora
tions, while the Democrats have al
ways held they should be reserved
as homes for the people.
Therefore, your choice between the
two parties is very simple, if you are
to act upon yuor own convictions
and not under the dictation of other
persons.
To what party do the great bond
holders and National Bankers be-
long? Look around you, and you
will have no difficulty in answering
the question.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-10-04
Voters :

When times was flush and money
plenty it was the boast of the Repub-
lican party that the prosperity was
due to their management of public
affairs. Everywhere on the stump
and through the public press did
they loudly claim credit for the high
tide of business prosperity. But
with the administration, both state
and national, uninterruptedly in
their control, why should not that
same party be held responsible fol
the unheard of, uncomfortable distress
and poverty now existing through.
out the land? If they are to be ia
ken at their word and credited with
the good, they can not in decency
ask to escape from being charged
also with the bad. And the bad is
so bad that looking calmly back ovel
the period of the past it is hard tc
find any good in it. 1t was a delu
sion and q snare from which the
honest people of this country are
waking up to shake themselves free
Let honest men of every party name
lay aside prejudice and look square
ly at this matter. You can no
blame the Democratic party for hare
times. They have not had the pow
er to make them. Vote, then, for
change. Vote for reform. Vote TO
honesty. Vote for economy. Fot'
for Bishop. GROVE. and EDISON.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-10-04
Business Men.

You know ever since the contrac-
tion policy of the leaders of the Re-
publican party has been going on,
the price of property has been de-
cling and business growing duller
md duller!
LABORING MEN,
you know, eve since the contrac-
ton of the currency was commenc-
ed by the leaders of the Republican
party for the benefit of untaxed
bondholders, wages fell and labor
has been less in demand, even at
starvation prices.
WILL YOU VOTE
to continue this policy and further
add to the distress of yourselves
and families by voting at the next
election the Republican ticket?
REMEMBER,
a vote for Stubs for Representative,
is a vote endorsing the contraction
policy of John Sherman-a vote in
favor of a further reduction of wages

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-10-04
ssLumping'' IL.

Mr.. Oldfather also drew Aug. IL,
1876, for services as per Oren Fee
Bill special taxes on Roads, $35O,4O
This act allows for this, but the on
ly suggestion we make is that the ac-
count should be itemized to show
QUANTITY of work done.
Robt Miller, 1. E. Freeman and
j. V. Campbell, think that the Aud
itor should show that he done the
work for that amount he drew. So
would any body else. Is it a mark
of efficiency" in a public officer to
pay out the public funds in "lumps?'
Do others draw their accounts in
''lumps?" Put that along side of
Mr.. Gulick's "forced balance"
1t will be observed that APPARENT
LY and judging from the VOUCHER
ALONE, his second quarterly payment
is $500 in excess of the amount al
lowed by said act. Mr.. o. however,
explaines that $500 of this payment
was for making out monthly reports
of the proceedings of the Commiss-
toner's for publication. The youch-
ers should so state.
Here is another dump" without
vouchers, say Miller, Freeman and
Campbell, drawn from the public
fund. Do the taxpayers want their
public funds 'lumped' out for three
years longer? Put that down along
side of Mr.. Gulick's "forced bal
ance."
