The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-31

The bill passed by the Ohio Sen
ate directing the Sheriff sales to be
published in a German paper, where
there is one published, is not a just
law. 1t is hard enough for the poor
devil who is being sold out by the
Sheriff, to pay the cost in one paper.
If a law was passed giving the debt
or the right to select his own adver-
Using medium, and as many as he
pleased, it would be more reasonable
and just. That is the way it should
be. Every Ohio General Assembly
seems to get into it a lot of nincom-
poops who go to tinkering with the
printing business, and they general
ly worse the matter instead of bet
tering it, besides exhibiting them
selves to be a set of consumate asses.
Let printers regulate their own bu.
siness as all other mechanics do, and
there will be no trouble. Attend to
business of more benefit to the peo-
pie at large, adjourn and go home,
and you will confer a lasting bless
ing upon the over-burdened tax-pay.
ers. That is our advice. If you
don't accept it, you can go TO Beech
er's place of disbelief or be politi-
cally dead.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-31

The following from the Cincinnati
Commercial, shows very clearly
where the advocates of gold resump-
ton will find themselves when the
people insist on paying them in ac-
with the teachings of their
own logic:
Mr.. Thomas Mast is a great artist
but a poor1ogiciaa. He has drawn
1caricature of Stanly Matthews that
is wonderful in its way; but it is I'M
just and mean as possible. Senator
Matthews is represented as a pawn
broker who has taken a gold watch
and chuckles over the legality of re-
turning a silver watch. If this means
anything, it is that the bonds were
purchased in gold, and that it would
be a swindle to pay them in silver.
The fact is, the silver option has
been conspieuously in the bonded in
debtedness from the beginning.
But the bulk Of the bonds were paid
for in rag money. There were hun
dreds of millions OF face value ofthe
bonds purchased with rags, the gold
valuation of which was less than ff-
ty cents on the face. Mr.. Mast does
not see that it is the logic of his car
toon that it would be the thing TO
pay the bonds with greenbacks.
Rags for rags! Are the infatuated
people who insist upon the perma-
merit decentralization of silver ready
for that?

Two more bank managers have
been consigned to Jail as common fell
ons, JACOB HUNTzINGER and ALBERT
HUNTzINGER, father and son. They
were managers of an institution in
Pottsyille, Pa, the failure of which
carried distress to the homes of ma
ny saving and industrious miners in
that region. The crime of which
they were found guilty was conspir-
acy to defraud, and their sentence is
solitary confinement at hard labor
for two years. The way Of even re-
spectacle swindlers is Hard.

The Kokomo Tribune says the
Indianapolis Journal of the 25th,
spoke of the rebel LAMAR as an hon
est, sensible, patriotic man, and of
the late Union soldiers, or nine-tenths
of them, as demagogues, and all be-
cause LAMAR takes the money lend
ers side of the silver question. Great
God! and has it come to this, that
the city which vas the home of NOR
TON has no Republican paper? The
policy Of the Republicans which has
robbed the laboring man, has here
and elsewhere, caused many a soldier
who grazed the teeth of death in de-
fence of our common country. to
shiver on street corners, out Of work,
out of hope, out of money and out of
bread, because the silver dollar must
be remonetized, the paper circulation
contracted and Resumption come in
1879, to please the bond holder and
increase the value of his investments.
The men who went through the
camps Of our starving revolutionary
fathers shouting, "beef! beef" and
asking an exhorbitant price for it,
had a tender heart compared with
some of the bond holders.

Numerous petitions are going up
to Congress from the States mostly
interested in the manufacture of
whisky and tobacco, praying for a
reduction of the present tax on these
two articles. Also, asking for an
extension of the bonded period. The
petitioners generally ask that the
tax on whisky be reduced from 80
cents, the present rate, to sixty; and
that on manufactured tobacco from
"a to II cents a pound. These meas
ures will be strongly resisted by par
ties who have large amounts out of
bond and on which the tax at the
present rates has been paid. What
is to be done, should be done at
once.
