The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1879-08-07

THE Democratic Glove feast" at Cleve,
land last week was held with open doors.
and Of course the inevitable newspaper
man was there. We extract from one
report as follows
When the sixteenth district was called,
A, McGregor, the member of the State
Central Committee from that district, re-
sponded, saying he could not speak def
initeIy for the district, not even Stark,
his own county, as there the Democrats
had not yet nominated their county ticks
ct, and hence we are somewhat in a
chrysalis condition. The committee are
aware that we lost the county last fall,
owing to local causes, but he took pleas
ure in stating that things were now in
good shape, and he hoped and expected
that Stark would range Democratic this
fall and give good account Of herself.
They expected to enter the contest with
sleeves rolled up and work for success.
1t is proper to say that Stark was large
county, the fifth IN the State in popula-
ton, and was close politically. Elec-
tions there were always warmly contests
ed, and the work conducted accordingly
and in no mealy mouthed manner. The
Republicans had nominated fair ticket
and the prospect was there would be
earnest work in Stark. He knew peo.
pie were apt to deceive themselves in
politics as in other things. Hope colors
the future, and has much to do with
promised results. In Stark, however,
they believed in working christianity
and this fall they expected to get at 1t
in good earnest. We expect, therefore,
to do our full share in electing General
Ewing and the entire State ticket, and
doubt not the other counties in the dis
trict will nobly respond accordingly'
Applause.

money came from the Washington clerks
by assessment. Butterworth had also a
choice lot Of deputy marshals at his nod
and beck. The same game was played
in this district to elect Mckinley. We
regret that Gen. Wiley did not contest
in order to show up the infamous cor.
ruDtion.

"HONEsT MONEY"

Republican leaders and journals are
fond of using the phrase "honest mon
ey." 1t is one of John Sherman's inven.
tion, and is only intended to cover up
his nefarious schemes. Gen, Ewing, in
his speech at Cleveland, said:
"What is honest money! IA voice
"Greenbacks."] Yes, that is honest
money. Yes, sir; the debts of this coun.
try were made, as rule, the old debt,
and taxes were established under laws
WHEN THE GREENBACK WAS THE ONLY
MONEY KNOWN TO THE PEOPLE. say that
honest money is the money of the con.
tract Is the money as vGlLGbLe, and no
more vaI,tdble, 1Uhen the debtor comes TO pay
Il, than II OaS When he got ii? And any
money, after the debtor has made his
debt, which by the act of the Govern
ment is increased in value one.half or
one'third, is this honest money!"
This states the case as it is. The Re.
publican managers issued government
paper, greenbacks, and discredited them
by act of Congress. declaring that they
should not be received at par for govern
ment dues. When the government would
not receive its own paper promises, the
greenbacks, at par, of course they depre-
ciated. When thus deprecated, the
same party leaders enacted that the
greenbacks should be received at par
for United States bonds, the interest on
which bonds to be paid in gold. The
debt built up in this way, and the people
thus swindled, the same leaders, John
Sherman the chief man in the Senate,
enacted in 1869, that the bonds were
payable in coin.
In this and other ways. the govern.
ment, by vicious legislation disturbed
values, to benefit the money class and to
the injury of labor and honest business.
This is plain as A. B. G; and the same
men now claim to be the "honest money"
party. They are the pirates and robbers
Of the land have been and still are.
The true object of government, accord.
ing to Jefferson, is to RESTRAIN men from
"injuring or robbing one another, and
"leaYe them otherwise free to regulate
"their own pursuits of industry and inn
"provement; which shall not take from
"the mouth of labor the bread it has
earned, This is the sum of good gov.
"ernment, and this is necessary to close
"the circle of our felicities."
In other words, establish justice, in
"sure domestic tranquility. and secure
"the blessings of liberty" This is the
Democratic creed, and hence, as a party,
we opposed all the schemes of the Re-
publican leaders, for their object was to
pluDder the people, disturb values and
wreck business. All this they have
most successfully done. The work of
reform and restoration is important, and
is no easy job. 1t would seem easier to
get things wrong than to right them
when once in confusion. Nevertheless,
let us proceed in we'll doing. Let our OBJ.
jeCt be JUSTICE our watchword, REFORM.

wise him to do the same thing through
