The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27
Come to the meeting in Eaton on
TUESDAY next.

The Defiance Democart very tru-
ly remarks: Ohio mechanics and
businesa men feel most previously
the contraction of the currency.
They are alarmed at Mr.. Sherman's
bold declaration that act will be en-
forced. Men who are doing 4 small,
barely paying business cannot feel
comfortable yer such q blast at bus
mess. Mechanics who are saving
enough to lay up in little homes
men who have observed times grow
ing harder-cannot be easy in mind
or satisfied at all with the steady
grinding of the contraction mill.
They cannot consistently vote with
the Republican party this year, not,
withstanding they may heretofore
have been allied with hat party
Men vote for principles, for homea.
for families, for general prosperity
not for party names. The Republican
party is not with the people. Its
OGdbG ~COnNCuGlOu uNOlOCu GuC lGSulup
tion issue, and the Republican Sec
rotary of the Treasury insists upor
the faithful execution of the provis
ions of the resumption law.
Where, then, friend, lies the rene
dy?
With the Democratic party mos
~assuredly. With the party that op
poses contraction. With the party
that is made up of the industrial
classes of the country. With tn
party of the people. The Democra
ic party in convention denounced til,
resumption act and demanded it
unconditional repeal. This is tn
issue in ohio. This is the issue o
the whole country. Opposition l.
contraction is the watchword tina
will bring victory.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Mr.. Woodward said before the six
thousand Bankers at New York, last
week: "That If Congress should re-
peal the Resumption act, Preseidnt
Hayes Uould veto It," That means
business. Remember poor men, that
you are to be ground still deeper.
That announcement is semi-official
and the Resumption theory is to be
carried out unless we can defeat it
at the Capitol.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27
INCOME TAX.

By a provision of law government
bonds are not taxable by the general
government, and the Supreme Court
has held that the States cannot tax
them, but to compel the bond holder
to bear q portion of the burden of
taxation the income tax was created.
1t added to the revenue over $780,
100000 a year. To that extent it
lightened the burden upon the active
capital of the country and placed it
where it could most easily be borne,
and where by every principle of JUS
tice it properly belonged. But the
bond holders, not satisfied with their
success through the corrupt use of
money in buying votes in Congress
in securing an Interpretation of the
law in relation to government bonds,
declaring its meaning to be, that the
principal as well as interest of the
bonds is payable in coin. Having
accomplished this step, then a fur
Their act demonetizing silver, thus in
surfing their payment in gold alone.
They by the same corrupt means Sc
cured the repeal of the income tax.
Their victory is complete, but the
masses are beginning to be aroused
to the magnitude of these gigantic
wrongs, and should everywhere,
through the public press and by their
votes, demand the re-enactment of
the income tax. The Republican
party will never do it, and the only
hope of success in this direction is
in the success of the Democratic
party.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27
A Vote

A VOTE for GROVE and EDISON is
a vote against the infamous Registry
Law and the Resumption Act.
A VoTE for Shultz or Stubs is
a vote in favor Of forced Resumption
and general Bankruptcy!
A vote for Shultz or Stubs is a
vote for a continuance of contraction
and hard times.
If you want to have q continuance
Of hard times and the general prostra-
ton of business, vote for Stubs for
Representative, and you will be sure
to get what you vote for.
If you want a revival of business
and the Laboring men of the country
employed so that they may support
their families 6y their honest toll,
vote for G.. H. Edison.
If you want contraction to stop,
bankruptcies and assignments to
cease, prosperity and enterprise to
revive, vote for G. H. Edison for Rep
resentative.
If you are opposed to Forced Re-
sumption and further contraction OF
the currency for the benefit of Bond
holders, vote for G.. II. Edison for
Representative.
You know the. Democracy have
been telling you for the past four
years, what would be the result of the
election of Republican candidates,
and you know that everything pre-
dicted has come true. Will you
again be deceived by the leaders OF
the Republican party who seek your
votes for the purpose Of further con-
tracing the currency, and bankrupt
ing the Industrious classes for the
benefit of untaxed bondholdersi
Vote at the October election in favor
of your 0aDn interests
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The tax payers and working men
of Preble county know that Mr..
Stubs is not the man TO represent
their interests at Columbus, and it
was very thin in his political keep
ers to persuade him to consent to
go before the public in a joint dis
cussion. Are they playing a joke
on the poor fellow to kill off the of
~fice-seeking propensities of tue
Stubs family?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

There are plenty of good citizens
and successful business men," who
would take either the Auditor or
Treasurers office, year in and year
out at half the present salary, or be
satisfied with one term at the present
rates. Five thousand dollars, sta
tionery, rent and fuel thrown in, is
more than should be paid for two
years services in any of our County
offices, and four years at such prices,
more than one man should be hui
mored with these hard contracting
times. Give us a change every two
years and the public funds will be
more equally distributed among
worthy official servants.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The Registration Law necessitates
a tax upon the taxpayers of Ohio of
$780, 900 annually; makes government
tai matters more complicated, and
creates a new hord of office-holders
to eat out the substance of the Peo-
pie. Elect a Democratic Legislature
and the ubiquitous law will be re-
pealed.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The political keepers of Mr.. D. C..
Stubs are evidently preparing to
put him off with a single term nomi-
nation, by getting him to consent to
go before the people in a joint dis
~cussion. Mr.. Stubs ought to know
better than to permit himself to be
made look so Ridiculous.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The Register says ''there is no
doubt as to where Mr.. Stubs, our
candidate for Representative stands"
We will add, there is no doubt where
he will stand after the election.
With the balance of the Stubs tick
ct he will stand on his head,

Among the many foolish laws
passed by the late Republican Leg
islature, was one changing the term
of Office for the Auditor from two to
three years. Should Mr.. Oldfather
be elected again, he will hold the place
for .fve gears. That would amount
to $150OO,O0! Divide the spoils!
Too much for one person!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

"Principles do not change men
often do" is the exceedingly original
remark of Hamilton" in his "wide
open letter." We suppose that
new and brilliant idea was suggested
to Hamilton by the course of Mr..
HAYES on the Southern policy.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

"Hamilton" who wrote the wide
''open letter" to Mr.. EDISON, is not
Alexander Hamilton, who went for
the silver dollar of the fathers, but
old man Hamilton who was born at
least three hundred years before
America had an Alexander. He is
trying to resume. He writes so well
he ought to speak. He would soon
make a Columbian orator.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

If the rumor about MI. Townsend
is very painful to Bro. Williams,
we would recommend that he try
"Perry Davis Pain Killer or
"John Towsend's Sarsaparilla." Both
are good for painful rumors We
knew something hurt MI. Williams,
but we did not know whether it was
a painful rumor or Civil Service
reform.

. telegram from Hon R NJ R1sn

A telegram from Hon. R. N. RIsH-
OF, to G.. Il. Edison, on Tuesday at
noon, informed the Eatonians that
our next Governor had missed the
train and his promised visit to our
Fair on that day was a failure!
Come MI. BISHOP, if you don't want
the people of Ohio to $50 WEST"
you must dust around lively!
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

81. P. c." in his letter to the Req
lister last week, warns his readers to
beware ofthe Democracy. He ought
to send a "wide OPEN letter to Mr..
HAYES, who is saying good things to
the southern brethren. Can't you
get Hamilton" to write a column
or two?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

A candidates answer as to where
he stands may generally be found in
his platform and in his letter of ac-
ceptance, To these we direct the
attention of Mr.. Williams for salts
faction as to the questions put to our
candidate for Representative,
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The Radical house is divided
against itself; its tenants are quar-
reling over the division of their
booty and afraid to express a thought
or idea. The triumph of the Democ-
racy over such a disorganized, de-
moralized gang is as certain as the
rise of the sun on Tuesday October
9Th.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Several Republicans who intended
"going WEST" have changed their
minds since his hard money speech
here, and say they will remain at

The Democratic ticket of this
county is composed entirely of "good
citizens and successful business
men," and that is all the reeommen-
dation it requires for the people to
give it a majority of their votes in
October.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

The Workingman who lives by
his days work, who shall vote against
the Democratic ticket at the October
election, practically votes for a furth-
er reduction of wages and a contin-
uaIce of dull times.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Send Judge WEST to Eaton again.
We will then guarantee the county
Democratic by two hundred majority.
He is the best electioneering docu-
ment we can get. Send him along
with his contraction speech.

lars! Such is the beauties of Repub-
lican legislation, and if the people
want mora of it they should continue
to vote that ticket.

How many successful business
men" have represented this county
at Columbus, during the past TWEEN
ty-fve years? Here is a conundrum
for that brain man to solve.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Mr.. Holt will be entirely compe-
tent to attend to all the business con-
nected with the office of Prosecuting
Attorney, and viii also see that the
taxpayers are not assessed for IN
necessary and petty cases run upon
our Grand Jury.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Why did not Judge WEST tell the
people how he stood on the silver
question? Is he for the old dollar or
does he want a new one differing in
value to suit the bondholders?

While Mr.. HAYES is down south re

Did any body ever know a "good
citizen and a successful business
man. without brains? Mr.. "Hamil-
ton" your logic is silly.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Judging from the effort of "Ham-
ilton' in the last Register on brains,
he ought to know all about the want
0 fthem.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

Hamilton is not a wandering as
teriod. He stays at home, mostly
writes wide "open letters" and is
only the first syllable of an asteriod.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-27

"a good citizen and a successful
business man." is just the kind of
Representative the people of this
county need at Columbus. Who
will deny it2 The Register says
Mr.. EDISON possesses these qualities.
