An exchange publishes an article
entitled. aWhy people are poor"
In many countries they inherit pow
erty, but in the United States the
reason why they r poor is easily
accounted for in the fact that they
have been outraged, robbed and
cheated out of the Inheritance and
rights bequeathed them by their
forefathers, by the Republican par
ty, which for many years has had
control of the wheels of government.

alt is the right and duty" of s
Republican candidate to go into q
saloon to solicit votes, but it is an
"insult to the decency and morals Of
the community" for a Democratic
candidate to do the same thing
That is Republican honesty and con-
~sistencyl Who would want to sup
port such q party?

Two Republican officials in Pre-

there had not been changes in these

known. There is no harm to vote
for a change.

John F. Sinks, the Republican
candidate for Senator was in Eaton
this week. He was questioned about
the soldier Home vote, and his an
swer was, that "they had about six
miles to go to vote and that whisky
would be all along the road for
them-that before they got there
they would be all drunk and there
was no telling then how they would
votet" Complimentary to the Sol
diers, John! Don't they love 'em?
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

The idea of beating G. H. Edison
for Senator is simply ridiculous and
no intelligent Republican has the
least hope of it. Blowing about his
defeat may serve to bolster the wan
ing prospects of the party, but that
is all there is in it.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

If there is any Republican in Pre-
BILE county who doubts the atimes be-
ing good and money plenty" let him
come into Eaton any Saturday after
noon and attend the Sheriff sales.
If that won't convince him no argu-
ment will do it.

1t is observable that the Republi-
can organs are not at all disposed to
tackle the fact that John Sherman's
resumption vas accomplished
through the. economy of the Demo
cratic Congresses by which a hun
dred millions of specie were saved
to the Treasury. They fight shy of
that fact with Il discretion that does
credit to their. judgment.

Republican papers are profuse in
their Civilizations about the revival
of business, claiming it is due to Re
publican policy, when the fact is
there was no looking up of business,
until q Democratic Congress began
to legislate for the country.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

No bayonets at the polls. Nc
test oath for jurors. No pay from

The editor of the Register was one
of the extremely anxious Republi-
cans who wanted Mr.. Edison to run
on their ticket for State Senator in
1875, and now he is undertaking to
make political capital out of it.
Rather thin.

Hundreds of voters who a year OF
two ago were troubled about the ne.

John Deem has paid more money
to mechanics and laboring men in
one year, than Mr.. Cooper has all
his life time, and we have never yet
heard any one complain that he was
penurious.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

Laboring men had their wages re-
duced because furnaces closed, man
ufaetures stopped, farms and their
products went down and taxes re-
manned as high as ever. 1t was Re
publican legislation in favor of the
Fbondholder that done it.

When Charley Foster speaks in
Eaton on Friday, he should tell the
Republicans here whether he swore
to a lie about the "shot gun policy

Nearly a half million stolen in
Butler county alone, Levi. allow is

Pretty high, but it seems the peo-

the Democrats making this thief a
leader of the party and sending him
out to stump the State in their cause,
they quietly gave him the bounce
and he retires in obscurity and
shame.

Does Mr.. Cooper, the Republican
candidate for County Treasurer, pay
his farm hands as high wages now
as he did a few years back, when he
was getting $3.50 for wheat and SIS
and SO for his hogs? Hardly.

Some of the Republican papers
are worried because Gen. EWING
don't resign his seat in Congress be-
fore the election. These editors for

Governorship of Ohio until the Pres
idency was stolen for him.

Many soldiers in the State are de-

The Republicans fired the cannon
and burnt barrels and boxes in Ea-
ton over the Maine election! 1t was
intended to "boom" their Foster and
Hoopenlooper club, but somehow it
don't boom worth a cent.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-09-18

For twenty years the Republican
party have carried Maine, except by
a scratch" last year. Yet they fir
ed the cannon and burnt boxes be-
cause they saved it this year by a

What Laboring man can see the
promised good times under the
Sherman's pretended Resumption?
His dollar buys as much as the

to get tie dollar, with all business
stagnant and enterprise dead?

The editor of the Register says he
is not so particular about Mr.. DEEMS

as what he said about it. Now if
Mr.. Williams is SO very anxious to
do him justice in his remarks, let

and he can be satisfied. Mr.. Frank
Mitchell is a Republican and will
make a correct statement of what
MI. Deem said.

Foster and Sheridan speak in Ea.
ton next Friday. Sheridan spoke
here a year or so ago and his whole

speeches.

The coWardly and sneaking attack
of the Cincinnati Gazette upon Gen.
RICE, and the unblushing statements
and lies of the Republican press gen
orally, shows that the party is in a
desperate condition. This is the
last fight it will make in Ohio under
the ALIAS of Republican. It will be
overwhelmingly defeated and will be
compelled to hunt a new name to
rally under.

Had the Republican party legis-
lated in the interest of the Laboring
classes as it has in that of the Bond

What we know about threshing
grain we admit is not very much,
but we never heard of such an
amount of muscle being employed
to do so little labor of that kind, and
it looks as if there was something
wrong about the business. Was it
threshed with a fail, tramped out
by horses, run through a horse pow
er machine or steam? And is the
four cents a bushel for threshing the
grain to be yet added to the above
amount, or does the Inirmary own
the machine? A little light on this
matter would be satisfactory to a
great many interested parties.

Farmers, Laboring men and Me-
chanics, who have had your farm
lands and homes sold at half price
and your wages reduced to almost
starvation prices, while taxes remain
as high as ever, remember that it
was the contraction policy of the Re
publican party for the benefit of the
Bondholders and Wall street Shy
locks, that brought all this distress
upon you. The plain unyarnished
truth of it is before you all, and ex-
lists in the fact that while in 1868
the lowest amount of currency in
circulation was 1888, 100000, and
that was doing the business of only
twenty-seyen States and thirty mil
lions of people, while now in 1879, to
do the business ofthirty-eight States
and forty-nine millions of people, we
have only $735,oo0,o0o Two hun
dred and forty eight millions dollars
less than in 1865, and nineteen mil
lions more people to use it! 1t takes
money to do business with. With
out money business has stopped,
farms deprecated and labor been re-
duced. Thirty-eight States cannot
do a prosperous business On less
money by $24s, ooo,o 600, than twenty
seven States used in other years.
Forty-nine millions of people cannot
paw debts and wages and buy and
build as well with $735, GOO, 900 as
thirty millions of people did with
$9s3, GOO, DOC, 200. These things will
continue until there is a change OF
government and is some legisla-
ton for the benefit of the poor
men, instead of all for the rich bond
holder. Vote for the change and
better times. That is the duty OF
every farmer, mechanic and laboring
man.
