Democratic Platform.

The Democratic party of Ohio In convention as
sembled reafrm the great principles which are the
foundation of the goyernm ent among which are equa
rights to all, special privileges to nome profession Of
the weak against the encroachments OF the strong,
equal taxation, free speech, free press ee schools,
and first Of all q free and uncorrnpted ballot.
Resot0ed, That we favor an honest reform In the
civil service and denounce the extortion of money
from oceholders to- corrupt the ballot and control
elections as most threatening, % t 70 insidious,
danger that besets FREQ government, and the shame
less resort to such methods by the party In power to
carry its ends evidences the utter abandonment Of
principle for place and spoils under the sboss"
rules. We denounce the reckless extravaganza and
proigacy of the Republican party in the appropria-
tion of the public treasury, which should be applied
to the extinction of the national debt, and we be-
leve the time has come when, by an honest and
economical administration of the government, the
burden of war taxes which the people have so long
borne and which In the end fall upon labor may and
ought to bereduced, but we denounce the attempt
Of the Republican Congress TO reduce taxes on these
articles which,wl inure to the benefit Of the rich
Resolved, That we favor tariff levied to meet
in its details wtha view to equality in the public
burdens as to encourage productive industries and
afford labor just compensation without creating
ResoIged, THAT stability in the value Of money isa
primary requisite to industrial and commercial pros
perity This can only be secured by maintaining
both gold and silver as money as provided by the
Constitution and subjecting the issue and regulation
OF paper money to established principles which will
prevent fluctuations In the value of the currency.
Res0tUed, That the growth of monopolies is such
as to seriously threaten the rights of individuals,
and the public welfare, and ought to be provided
against by proper legislation.
Rssotued, That the Democratic party has ever
maintained and still steadfastly adheres to the doc
rine OF the largestindivdual liberty consistent with
the public welfare, and is opposed to Legislation
merely snmptuary.
Resoived, THAT il is i duty incumbent upon our
government to protect Its citizens, native born and
naturalized, at home and abroad, and we demand o
searching inquiry into the alleged outrages COM
mitted against citizens Of the United States in for
eign countries.

the ooIonsis-norton and Brigham

The colonsis-norton and Brigham.
''col. Norton called upon US. and
wished to stste in the plainest terms,
that he is emphatically in favor Of Mr..
Bdgham's election, and that he will vote
for him and wants all his friends TO do
the same."-Signal.
What Has it indeed come to this !
And must the organ OF Col. Brigham in
this county give assurance that even the
leaders and officers Of the Republican
party will support that gentleman for
CoDgress7 This surpr ises us; we had
known that much dissatisfaction existed
towards the Fulton county iceberg among
the rank and file but had not looked for
any such state OF things among the
officers. t tA
! However, Brigham seems not to desire
the support of Col. Norton and his
friends. In recent circular issued by
this would-be statesman he says:
Come out and hear true representa-
tive of the people, and one of Ohio &
ablest statesmen, Senator J. 81. Brigham,
Worthy Master of the Ohio State Grange.
Why do you place La,cyers, Doctors,
Bankers and Railroad Kings in our Leg
islative Halls, who are In direct opposi-
tion to your best interests, when you
have it in your power to place men in
Office who will do the will of the peoplei
Wake up, farmers, and investigate these
questions"
Here, the valiant commander of the
colored troops who "fought so nobly'
and who furnished weapons with which
to murder Democrats, squarely attempts
to create class prejudice and to set man
against man. He impudently asks the
people why they sent Col. Norton to the
Ohio Senate, and tells them that they
had no right to do so, as the Colonel is o
banker. The .'earth and the fullness
thereof" Is mine says this bastard farmer,
and lawyers, doctors, bankers and per.
sons engaged many occupation but farm
ing and office-holding have no rights
which /, "Worthy Master, " must respect.
With such snub to Col. Norton, it is
not strange that the Signal gives assur-
ance that ''he will take the hand that
smites him." @ n

Mr.. BRIGHAM in his speech last Satur.
day took hold of the old Republican ster'
eotyped campaign howl that if Demo
Gratis succeed to power the wages of the
laboring man would be reduced and
manufactures closed up, and he seemed
loath to let 60 of it, in fact he held to il
throughout his speech. Now he either
takes the people Of Henry county to be
ignoramuses or else. he is one himself.
Our people are intelligent, they both SET
and read, and are aware that this has
been the cry of ranting Republican DEM
agogues year in.and year out whenever
an election is close at hand, but when
the election is over and they have secur-
ed enough of the votes of the laborer tc
give them longer lease of power, strikes
have invariably followed on account Of
the laborer's wages having been reduced.
Laboring men and consumers have been
the dupes of such hypocrites as Brigham
long enough which fact he will find to
his sorrow when the ballots are counted
out next October.

A HIGH protective tariff increases the
price of all commodities. A mechanic
in America who receives much more than
a mechanic in England for similar work
does not in reality get as much for his
work as his English neighbor, for the
consumer here pays the penalty Of the
high tariff system. The men who pros
per are the monopolists who add that
amount of the custom duties to the wares
they produce. They become rich, and
subsidize papers and Congressman to aid
them in their extortionate demands on
the people. The protective monopolists
are building up a shoddy aristocracy in
this boasted free republic and the people
are daily paying tribute to their increas.
ing greediness.

Nash and Brigham.

These gentlemen, the former Attorney
General of the State of Ohio, the latter a
member of the State Senate and can
didate for Congress, addressed the Re
publican Convention held in this place
last Saturday. Brigham opened the ball
in the forenoon with his stereotyped
speech, and made selfish appeal to the
farmer, denoupcing the merchant, me-
chanic, professional man, manufacturer
and every one who is not tiller of the
soil, and yet boasted of being Republic
can all his life; he denounced unjust
legislation, and yet defended last win
ter's legislature, of which he was and is a
member, and which has become scan
dal and by-word; he asked his hearers
to rally to the support of the Republican
party, which is responsible for all the
unjust and infano Gus legislation of the
last twenty-five years; he asked those op-
posed to the oppression of labor by cap
ltal7 to support the Republican party,
which is responsible for all the laws
which enable capitalists to grind the la
borers into submission to their demands;
he asked those who oppose the "con-
trolling of our conventions by corrupt
rings" to rally in behalf of the Republi-
can party, prominent member of which
admits that it stole the Presidency, while
its corruption of conventions and officials,
and its deliberate assessment of employ
es to raise corruption funds, has become
a notorious scandal in the nation.
Gen. Nash, who entertained the after
dinner exhibition, did not like the, Col
onel's overture-the fact of his being a
lawyer making it impossible for him to
become one of the elect, and he knocked
the Brigham theory higher than kite"
He said that he was lawyer and as
such considered himself as good as any
farmer, that he believed an 'shonest
mans the Doblest work Of God, "and-that
a lawyer was just as good as aSheriff, },
and that, as his fees were not regulated
by law, he violated no law in little
over charge; that one occupation was
just as good and as honorable as another
that "worth makes the man and want
Of it the fellow" and that every person,
no matter what his calling, was more or
less dependent upon his fellow: that all
employments should exist in harmony
and sectarianism, whether ii church or
politics, should be discouraged. The
General then delivered very good tenn.
perance lecture, advising the Republicans
to improve their morals by adopting and
practicing the teachings Of Judge Thur
man and other Democratic leaders.

GOVERNOR st. John, of Kansas, draws
the line very distinctly. He says the Re
publicans have morality, sobriety, law
and order, and God almighty on their
side, while the Democrats are leagued
with drunkenness, rowdyism, Sabbath
breaking, profanity and the Devil. This
country would be in an unfortunate con-
dition il st. John wasn't an unmitigated
liar.

LET there be no complimentary votes
cast by the Democrats this year. This is

In his speech last Saturday Mr.. Brig
ham upheld the present iniquitous pro-
tective tariff, but acknowledged that per-
haps there were some things in it that
need revision. therefore he favored the
one.sided commission of revision lately
appointed by the Republican Congress-.
The Republican party is a sham, the
Commission is sham, and none know it
better than Mr.. Brigham. He knows
there is no relief to be had from this
commission, for it is composed of high
protectionists just like himself. Toshow
that Mr.. Brigham is deceiving the peo-
pie of this district we quote from good
honest Republican authority, the Cincin-
natl Commercial, one of the leading
papers Of the State: 1--WE do not like to
PREJUDICE the work of any committee or
commission, but we are frank to say that
there does not appear the slightest hope
Of any relief from the crudities and abb
surdities OF our present tariff from the
Commission now engaged in collecting
information and taking testimony on the
subject. We should not be surprised,
indeed, If the Commission reported to
Congress recommending an increase of
the rates on most dutiable articles.
"It is SO evidently biased infavor of re-
tanning the duties, and takes so much
satisfaction in sumnoning before it those
who think the duties not sufficient, that
there can be but one conclusion as to the
outcome OF its labors. It is said that
persons summoned before it, who think
the duties ought to be lowered Or taken
Off altogether. are frowned upon and dis
couraged, or badgered by the Commits
sioness, with the intent of weakening Or
Destroying the value Of their testimony.
So far as any actual information from
impartial sources Is concerned, the Conn
mission might as well have sat in Wash
ington, and prepared its report without
the hearing Of q single witness"

, are foi the year 1880:

Now, this total population OF II, ,706, ,256
required, at five bushels per head, an ag-
gregate amount of SS.5S1 $3.50 bushels Of
wheat, and actually produced so, 192, ,9O4
bushels. In other words. this mighty
manufacturing population had to draw
from the rest of the States and Territor-
les barely S,5O0.000 bushels of wheat.
And now we have some very interesting
statistics for the further production and
consumption of wheat. The total popu-
lation in 1880 was so, 152, ,s66 souls. They
produced 459, sol, ,O93 bushels of wheat.
If we deduct the population just cited in
the manufacturing States, amounting to
II, zoe, 1856 souls, there remained balance
of population of 80. .446, ,810, who produced
379, ,SSS, 1S9 bushels of wheat, from which
we must deduct:
Bushels
Consumption Of. fve bushels per cap
ita Of 80 81 souls 1872 ,05(
Add to this the wheat supplied man
ufactur1ng States SS2S,3Is
57l, AZ
Well. then, if we deduct this amount
from the S79.s9S, ,1S9 bushels of wheat
raised by those States outside of the ten
manufacturing States enumerated, we
find the enormous amount of 208, 1926, ,76S
bushels surplus wheat to be disposed OF
outside of the United States, and in point
of fact we did export in 1e80-'S1, includ-
ing, 100, 1000, 900 bushels wheat.
From these indisputable facts we pre-
sumo the Senator would argue that the
farmer raised too much grain. But how
is the farmer to stop this? Would this
boasted friend of the farmer have him
cease his occupation and have him turn
manufacturer, doctor, lawyer, banker,
or railroad corporationist and fall under
the ban Of his denunciation? Even il
the surplus Of our wheat crop falls to on
ly 200,0O0,0 900 bushels it would require an
additional non.wheat producing popula-
ton of 10000, 900 to consume it.
The farmer indeed permits himself to
be made the victim Of sharpers and dem
agogues whether he buys or sells the
tariff is the thief who robs him. No fact
can be more plain than that the price of
the farmers product is governed by the
amount he gets for the surplus which is
sold abroad; and in London and Liver
pool he must compete with the pauper
labor of Prussia, Egypt, Turkey and the
East Indias, and all the protective, tariffs
that can ever be conceived will not save
him from this competition, but on the
principle of lea talionis will only aggra-
vate it. By high protective tariff the
farmer must not only sell in the cheapest
market but he must also purchase in the
dearest. By the present tariff, contin-
uance, in all material respects, of which
Col. Brigham advocates, the farmer pays
an enhanced price for everything used by
him ranging from 35 to 140 per cent.

A very small boy, with pltiful lot of
pinched features, looking afraid to go
