Capitals vs.. Industry.

For sixteen years the county, has
legislated in the interest of money
against industry. The sole exception
is the ereeubick act. necessi-
ty to the former. But ever since that
passage, the montyed interest has en-
deavOred 10 make the act nugatOry
for industry aud absolute for them.
The act, as il passed the house, pro-
vided the bonds should be paid, prin-
cipal and interest in greeDbacks. The
moneyed men rushed in crowds to
Washington, and made the interest
payable in coin-gold or silver.
In year Or two the act wss again
amended. The power to convert the
greenbacks into bonds was repealed.
This caused greenbicks to f; and
coin to rise.
Finally, the bonds were made paya-
BILE in coin onIy-goid or silver. This
made bonds purchased for So ceuts to
30 cents i'll paper, worth 1OJ cents in
gold.
But this was not enough. Gold
must be made still dearer, and all
other property cheaper. So S500,CJO
was collected by the moneyed men of
Europe, Mr.. Ernest Heyd sent to
Washington, and an act passed max
ing gold the Onlv legal tender coin of
the country. All other Kinds of mon
cy were thus legislatcd as nearly as
possible out of existence.
What are the results of this crown
ing act of periidy and corruption in
the interest of capita. as against in
dustry?
The industry of the country has
been bankrupted factories have been
closed mechanics and laborcrs turned
into tramps and gypsies. Even the
fortunes of many of the capitalists
who helped to do 'hesc deeds have
been swept away.
Mr.. Coe, President of one of the
largest New York banks,now declares
that the latter are :; losing money,
and i'm order to keep their stOckhold-
ers from starving, they are IN: king
dividends out of their surplus. And,
finally, the government must repeal
their YES or I .ey wi close their
doors.
This latter they are indie doing

The Toledo journal (Iiep.) says:

in Ohio would make a difference of
about 10000 votes. Were we right
or wrong in predicting that Hayes

the Republican party in every South

Republicans feared the ascendency of

The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1877-07-26

met at Columbus yesterday. At the
time of going to press we are not adj
yised as to any part of its proceedings.
Ii is hoped that harmony prevailed in
the councils, that a sound platform
was adopted and a good ticket nomin-
ated. With these and a harmonious,
united and vigorous campaign our
success at the next elected may be re-
garded as certain.
