The Cincinnati Post says of Mr.. R.
M. Bishop: SHE is now in his sixty
fifth year, hale and vigorous, in the
possession of all his faculties-men-
tai and physical. He has accumu-
lated a handsome fortune by his own
unaided exertions, and established
a reputation for integrity, honesty
and social and moral worth of which
he has a right to be proud. Wher-
ever he is known he is respected, and
while he lacks the grace of the finish
ed orator he more than makes up fol-
deficiency by a wealth of strong ster-
ling common sense. In this city
where he has lived for nearly thirty
years and where his whole life has
been spent, he is universally regarded
as a representative merchant, an
honest, upright, worthy citizen, and
a clearheaded, judicious and capable
man, and he will be supported by
men of both parties, not on account
of his politics, but because of his
possession of these qualities.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

The Defiance Democrat gives the
following sensible advice: "Fellow
Democrats, when a Republican en-.
deavors to have you desert your par.
ty and join the so called working.
mems movement, demand of him q
good reason. Ask him who framed
all existing laws favorable to labor
If he tells you truly, he will answer
the Democratic party. Ask him the
cause of these bitter, hard times, anG
ask him to name the party that has
controlled legislation for fifteer
years. When you have put that bug
in his ear, tell him to go to the dev
il; that you know how to vote with
out his interference"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

Well then, why don't you apologize
for the sneaking attack made upon
q private citizen 65 years of age, in
stead of approving the conduct of
the sneaks who did it?-Register.
Now, we propose to give the "old
man a chance" as Mr. Williams
seems to be on his ears about it. If
there was any personal attack of a
derogatory character made in the
DEMOCRAT upon any private citizen,
and he will make the nature of it
known to US, there will be an apollo
gy made forthwith. We hope this
will be satisfactory to MI. Williams,
at least.

SCHOOL BOOK MONOPOLY.

There is no monopoly in this coun-
try more relentless in its eXactions,
more oppressive in its operations,
than the School Book monopoly. AS
L public schools are now entering
upon another school year, and pa
rents have been every where com
PEELED to supply their children with
the established series of school books
at the exorbitant prices fixed upon
them by the publishers, or suffer
their children TO go without books,
the public car appreciate the evils
of this giant monopoly. There are
scores of children to-day in Eaton,
who + kept at home or sent to
school without necessary books, be-
cause their parents are unable to
buy them at the eXorbitant prices
fixed upon them. It's an evil which
cries aloud for redress, and we know
of no better way to accomplish the
desired reform than that proposed
by Mr.. EDISON, in a resolution offer
ed in the House of Representatives,
State legislature, February 13, 1874,
and as follows:
H. R. No. 10: WHEREAS, There is
just cause for complaint by the pa
irons of free schools of the State on
account of the exorbitant prices Of
school books adopted as a series fol-
the use of our common free schools
occasioned by publishing monopo.
lies, both in and ont of the State
which is contrary to the spirit and
effect of the school laws, and to the
manifest injury and disadvantage Of
all interested in education, and es
pecially so to poor and INDECENT chill
dren who are unable to procure sale
books only by humiliation at the
hands of the school directors; there
fore
Resolued, That the Committee OF
Common Schools be and are hereby
instructed to inquire into this griev
ance and of making provisions by
law for the publication of a uniform
series of school books for the use Of
the common schools of the State a
reasonable rates, and report in thai
behalf by bill or otherwise at theil
earliest convenience.
MI. Poe moved to amend said res
olution as follows: "That no teacher
of any school district shall deal di
riectly or indirectly in any schoo
books"
Which was agreed to.
The resolution was then adopted
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

If the present policy looking to re-
sumption on the LIST of January,
1879, shall be persisted in, the
country has not yet experienced the
severity Of hard times. The only
way to prevent a continuance of the
hard times we are now experiencing,
is to insist upon and cause an un-
conditional repeal ofthe Resumption
law. Give us the kind of silver
money our fathers made and green.
backs, and then good times will re.
turn to bless us. This is the policy
of the Democratic party, and if you
want to insist in bringing about
good times you must assist to place
that party in power.

RADICAL SoUP

The Cleaveland Leader published
an article advisory to workingmen,
designed to show people how cheap
they could live. From this article
we extract:
considering the hard times now
experienced among the working
classes in this country, it may be ap-
propriate 10 discuss the subject of
cheap living. Working people the
world over are in the same situation,
but they manage to stand it better
in other countries on account of
their habitual economy. An Italian
laborer, earning thirty cents per day,
will support a wife and two or three
children. AT noon, in the short halt
in his work, he throws himself down
in the shade of a tree or wall, and
eats a large piece of bread, with moth
ing to give it a relish but an onion
or a piece of garlic. The evening
meal with his family will consist OF
coarse bread, a variety of cheap veg
etables, a salad gathered along the
roadside and so seasoned rs to give
a pleasing sensation to the palate
and now and then washed with 9
bottle of wine costing four or five
cents. In France the poor people
will fall back on soup, which they
can almost make OUT OF SHAW
INGS. In Germany they will sub
sist on bread and vegetables. Th'
working classes in all European coun
tries are able to restrict there appe
titles to a modest bill offare, ADEQUATE
to their means, and continue TO liv,
in the enjoyment of good health.
Further on the writer gives a prac
teal illustration:
ga gentleman who had busiet
himself considerably in endeavorin!
to solve this problem, states that
few days ago he purchased materia
and made soup for nine persons a
an expense of six cents; three cent
for peas, one cent for Bermuda on
ion, ditto, for two heads of asparagu
ard a dozen leaves of spinach AM
.lONE CENT for a small bone whicI
THE BUTCHER WOULD HAV]
Thrown AWAY"
Let us add that the way for tn
working men to insure themselve
the necessity of living in this way i
to csst their votes in a way that wi
help elect West and the whole Re
publican ticket.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

No fair minded man acquainted
with the opposing candidates for
Prosecuting Attorney in this coun-
ty, but that will acknowledge Mr..
Holt to be the safest and best man
for the taxpayers. 1t is a position
in which hundreds of dollars of the
public money can be fooled away by
prolonging the sessions of our Grand
Juries with petty cases of no special
benefit to the people at large, but
are dragged there through fanatical
prohibition notions.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

A good many Laboring men around
Eaton proclaim themselves tired liv-
ing on promises, and will so vote at
the October election. They say
things can't be any wors for them.
Out of money and out of work, and a
hard winter staring them in the face.
Such is the condition of many OF
them, brought on by the Republican
policy of contraction enforced by the
robber John Sherman.

Here is the platform adopted at
the meeting of the Workingmen's
party at Columbus. 1t doesn't con-
vey the idea that lawyer VESTS ap-
peal for support on the night of his
nomination had fallen on productive
soil.
"WHEREAs, 1t is an admitted fact
that the business and laboring inter-
ests of the country are paralyzed,
and that capital invested in legiti-
mate industrial pursuits fails to pro-
duce a living profit to those invest
ing it, and thereby reducing the wa
ges or compensation of the mechanic
and laboring men employed by said
capital in industrial pursuits below
that absolutely necessary to support
themselves and families, while CAPT
tai invested in untaxed bonds and
interest paid in gold by the Govern
ment furnishes no labor for the peo.
pie, and no wealth to the country.
but accumulates wealth in the hands
of the few; therefore be it
"ResolUed, That after sixteen
years of almost unlimited power, ant
with exclusive control over the leg
islation of the country, we are com
PEELED to the conclusion that thi:
distress prevailing among the peo
pie employed in the production ant
industrial pursuits of the country i:
wholly attributable to the perniciou'
legislation of the Republican party
which has been invariably in the in
terest of a centralized money powe.
without a proper regard for the in
~terests of the people who add wealth
to the country by their labor, pay
its taxes and fight its battles.
"Resolued, That this being ou
opinion we shall use our ~infiuenc
and our votes to procure change il
the Executive and Legislative powe
of the States and General Govern
ment as soon as it can be accomplish
ed through the ballot-boxes of tn
country; and to this end we shal
labor for the election of the Demo
cratic State and Franklin Count,
tickets"
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

The Republican papers now de.
light in calling him Salary rabber'
JOHN BEATTY. Last fall when he
was earnestly and efficiently engaged
in assisting to elect HAYES, his sal.
ray-grabbing record was never men
toned. 1t makes all the difference
in the world whose OK is gored. This
time it is the Republican OK, and
the effect is attempted to be covered
over by calling names. These gen
tlemen will discover after the elect,
tion that calling names is no argu.
ment, and that Gen. JOHN BEATTY
cannot be ridiculed out of his pres.
ent position or his influence restrict.
ed in that manner.

Sherman says this is the most
prosperous country on the globe
Pendleton says: "And yet the high
ways and byways are filled with
'tramps; the cities and villages are
filled with deeds of violence against

with the poor and hungry and mis-.
cradle, as well as the criminals; la.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-09-13

Did the Republican State Conven.
ton consider the resumption eues'
ton settled, or did they regard it Of
not sufficient importance to the PEG
pie of Ohio to demand an expression
of opinion uponit? The Resumption
Act being a law which goes into op
Grafton on the first Of January, 1879
if not repealed, It follows that theil
failure to demand it's repeal, place:
the Republican party of Ohio fairly
upon record as favoring its enforce
ment.

"a REVIVAL OF BUSINESS r'

The Sheriff of Fayette county adj
vertises about one hundred thou
sand dollars worth of property for
sale, as an evidence of the good
times" Republican leaders have been
promising the people for the past
four years! If you want these good
times" to continue, vote the Repub-
lican ticket at the October Elec-
ton!
The Sheriff of Knox county adj
vertises $4,000 worth of property
for sale. Republican contraction is
the cause.
The Sheriff of Henry county ad-
vertises $21, 900 worth of the proper
ty of the victims of Republican Re-
sumption and contraction.
The contraction policy of the Re-
publican party makes it necessary
for the Sheriff of Defiance county to
sell $4,000 worth of property.
The good tines which were tc
come with the success of the Repub'
licans last fall, have reached Huron
county, and now the Sheriff advert
SEES 1000 worth ofproperty at fore
ed sales. y.
The Van Vert Buzleton last weel
advertised $4,000 of property a

the Republican party insist that Re
