Lucy Stone says that, although
women have not secured the ballot,
they have in her time vastly im.
proved their condition. She re.
members when woman was
th ,ught competent TO teach only
he small children in the summer
schools, when her pay Tor such
teaching was n dollar week, and
she was expected to board around.
Now women are professors in col
leges, with good salaries. In four
States they vote on all school mat
ters. Teaching, sewing and keep
ing house were the only occur".
tions regarded as suitable for wo
men. Nov tho census records sew
enty one occupations that are open
TO women. No woman was \ pub.
lie speaker out OF the Quaker
church. Now, all platforms are
free to them. The lyceum offers
TO the woiran lecturer the same
open fold that il does to a man.
The pulpit and the our are both oc'
cupied BY women The woman
physIcIan did not exist. Now they
have u success I'll practice in every
large city, aud ma"y OF the smaller
towns. There was not college in
the world that admitted womcr. {.
Now there are not only distinctive
colleges for women, but u large
number that welcome women to oil
their advantages. 1t is not many
years since q married woman could
own nothing that she earned could
not make II will Of anything shc
po. scsscd could not SUE or BE- sued;
could not carry on business had no
lawful right to her children, and
could no, bc their guardian nor
had che the right to her own per

all this is changed or very much
modified.

(Darke County Democrats


Under Bro. GouLD's good manage
ment and untiring application the
majority in Preble county, an old
time stronghold of the Republican
party, has been reduced to two or
three hundred. He has labored
faithfully and efectually against
heavy odds, yet in his application
for position in our Democratic
House, his tangibly earned claims
were dismissed as of no considera-
ton. 4 y X
"Blenker accommodates his politi-

Governor LUCIUs ROBINSON, of New
York, himself a lifelong Republican
until driven out of the party by his
own high sense of honor, doesn't
seem disposed to lose sight of the
electoral fraud by which Rutherford
B. Hayes was declared President of
the United States. In his recent
message to the Legislature, he says:
Millions of voters smart at the
conviction that they have been de.
frauded of their choice in asrational
election and robbed of the right oil
suffrage guaranteed them by their
Constitution and the law. They be
lieve that the Presidency OF the Re.
public is held by one not elected to
that office anAwithout moral title to
it's powers and honors. This belief
is shared by a majority of the PEG.
pie. They yield Obedience to an cx
ecrtive Of fact, but not of right
that they may save the land from an

NEGRO LABOR

A writer in the Galaxy gives a
gloomy account of the condition of
the people of Southern Virginia.
Here the negro population is the
most numerous. Previous to the
year 1861, agricultural prosperity
and wealth greeted the eye in all di-
r~ections. Here are the vast fields,
once obviously well titled and enclos-
ed, now lying in common; the re-
mains of almost gigantic systems of
drainage in the valleys now lapsing
into marshes; the substantial barns,
formerly built at great expense and
dotted over the great fields, but now
rotting down; and the homesteads,
once tidy, and in good condition,
but now destitute of paint and re-
pairs. The former cottages of the
negroes, which we're usually pleasant
and substantial, are now almost uri-
versally empty, with roofs tumbling
in; while the negroes now live in
mere shanties or cabins, construct
ed of the most wretched and perish
able material.
The negroes refuse to work and
live by pilfering. They want bread,
meat or fuel. OF course, they resort
to the landholders's field, or flock; a
pig or a lamb disappears; the trees
in the orchards are stripped Of the
unripe fruit; a mess of roasting ears
is slipped from the stalks of corn
and the loss is not realized till har-
vest time; at the dead hour of the
night q box or barrel is taken to the
wheat field and the sheafs are neatly
whipped over the edge and the heav
lest grain beaten out, to be detected
when harvest comes; fences are car.
ried off and burned; and the owners
cattle and sheep stray to parts un.
known. These and similar losse;
eat up all the profits. The conse
quence is now but few cattle are KEEP
and sheep + becoming almost un
known. Tillage is now confined tt
a few fields under the owners eye
The writer gives copious illustrations
of the condition of things, and if ,
change is not introduced the country
will inevitably lapse into a wilder
ness and a state of barbarism.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-24

1t is high time Congress should
take some action in regard to the
passage of an act to reinstate the In
come Tax. The people demand a
graded, upward scale income tax, SO
that it shall run, say on incomes of
from $1,000 to 5000, ten per cent;
from $4,000 to $25 200, twenty per
cent, and from $4,000 upward it
should be at least 25 per cent. The
Belmonts, Vanderbilts, .Morgans
and the Syndicates would then be
called upon to help pay out, and the
burdens laid upon labors' honest
shoulders lightened a little. Mona.
HON, the people of the Fourth Dis
trict have their ears open to catch
the first rumble of a ground-swell.
Hurry up the matter, or you will
hear something drop in this District
after awhile.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-24

CHARLES SUMNER in 1856 told the
slave holders to their teeth, "Thus
far shalt thou come and no farther"
For his manly, brave defence of free
labor, he was denounced and assault
ed even in the Senate Chamber. In
1878 DANIEL w. VOORHEES, tells the
Shylocks that their aggressive and
unrighteous demands must stop.
That honest, productive labor has
rights superior to all others, and that
free labor will not be enslaved fol
the purpose of building up a monied
oligarchy, for which Senators EATON
EDMUNDs, and others are at work
We hope Senator VOORHEES, will con
tinuein the course he has taken, anG
the final result will be the triumph
of the cause he so ably advocates
and defends, and his name will b.
enshriped in the hearts of a grateful
people.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-24

A poor fellow in Chicago, whose
home had been sold upon a foreclos-
ure of mortgage, and his family turn
ed upon the street, procured a large
knife and assassinated the man on
the street who had stripped him of a
home. As the crumbling of the sand
from the mountain side fortells the
coming avalanche, so the fash of an
occasional pistol shot or CLEAN of the
dagger fortells coming danger fol
the idle, hopeless thousands who
crushed by misfortune grow desper-
ate. Out of such material Commu,
nism grows. We hope for the best,
but men should be very c%onsiderate
in such times as the present.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-01-24

The Legislature of Ohio has grave
and important duties to preform,
and the people look for a faithful,
honest, and intelligent dicharge of
them. The business of the State is
unsettled, and values of all kinds,
greatly depressed and still declining.
Taxes are high and expenses almost
as heavy as in the days Of imitation,
and the people look for su,h relief as
can be afforded by ~judicious legisla-
ton, ard if they do not receive it, the
party in power will be held respon-
sible. A reduction of official sala-
ries, but no advance is what they
demand.
