ABOUT one hundred aud fifty mem

tective Association met at Toledo, Ohio,
Thursday, in response to 4 call issued by
President Backus, to organize for the
fall political campaign. In his opening
address the President took occasion to
arraign the Republican party for its
misdeeds and bitterly denounced the
Scott law. The resolutions adopted de-
clared that the money eXacted uader the
Scott and Russell bills WAS legaIiZed
eXtOrtion and robbery; the Scott bill was
conceived in demagoguism and passed
under false title. and is a hypocrilica
pretence to regulate the evils of the liu-
uor traffic; it was unjust and pernicious,
an abuss of legislative power for cor
rupt political purposes; il was unwar-
rantable and tyrannical, with no basis
on which an assessment can be made,
and its attempted passage was mon
StrOus; that all classes of persons were
Interested in warning against the Scott
law, which would otherwise result in
undermining all the democratic institu-
tions of the country that in consequence
of the aforesaid action of the Repubi-
can party, the association should act
with the Democracy politically in the
coming campaign.

BellAire Tribune, Aug. 9th.
The County Seat Fight is On.

Innocent Indifference and malicious treach-
cry may attempt to mislead the friends of
Bellaire, while the gentlemen who last year
packed a legislative committee by bargain
and sale, and attempted to force a bill through
the legislature last winter TO build new
court house at st. Clairsyille without con
suting the people, are working necessarily to
carry out their scheme. Ever since these
tricksters declared on the train returning from
their defedt at Columbus, that they meant to
control both parties this fall, they have been
fixing up matters to carry out their scheme
Swsney and Chambers, Hunt and West, with
III their followers, have forgotten their party
differences and are earnestly cooperating to
this end. Wagner is to be defeated as a
Democratic candidate, although entitled to a
denomination by the usages OF his party, for
no other reason than that he is in favor of
allowing the people chance to vote on the
county seat question. Candidates are en-
couraged in all parts of the county-are
brought out IN fact by ST. Clairsville influences,
to divide the friends of Bellaire and secure
delegates favorable TO the local candidate and
against the denomination of Mr.. Wagner.
they hope by a Mead township candidate
whose throat they will unceremoniousy cut
as soon as they have accomplished their pur>
pose, TO take from Mr.. Wagner the votes
vi IIc sOulu SiuG vi IHe county anu uulJlDS
the balance of the county on candidate
whose position they understand, to control
the Democratic nomination. Already they
are boasting that this result has been secured,
and now the work of controlling the selection
of delegates to the Republican convention, so
as to force the nomination of a candidate by
that convention who is also favorable to St
Clairsyille, and thus make sure of the long
coveted prize-the new court house at st.
Clairsville-has commenced. We warn the
Democrats of Mead, Smith. York, Goshen
and others who are opposed to the policy of
building courthouse without submitting
the matter to a vote of the people, of the pur
pose of those gentlemen who are laboring 50
industriously to prevent the denomination of
Mr.. Wagner. His defeat means a S100, 900
court house at st. Clairsville. Unless the
Republicans of this county resent the treach-
erous purposes of the hypocrites who pretend
to be opposed to the introduction of the
county>seat question with politics this fall,
and yet are laboring night and day to control
the conventions in favor of st. Clairsville on
this question. Upon this question there can
be no armistce with the other side. Their
treachery last winter after persistent protest
that they did moi want a new courthouse, in
attempting to steal one by act of the legisla~
ture without consulting the people, was con>
elusive evidence of their utter unreliability On
this question.

Chiefly by enhancing the value Of land
and Of farm products. The withdrawal
Of laGoI from agriculture to malu.ac-
tures or mining encourages higher eui-
ture. causing land to be more productive
and therefore more valuable. These
facts are most strikingly illustrated by
the census returns. Mr.. j. r. Dodge,
who compiled the statistics of Agricul-
ture, thus compares the value of land ia
several States: Virginia is great
State, in advance of Pennsylvania in
settlement, and for a long period in
population; rich in agricultural re-
sources, in coal and iron, water power,
wood and timber. So is Pennsylvania.
The former is essentially an agricultural
State, though destined to become great
in mining and manufacturing. She had
in 1880, according TO the census. 81 4l-l00
per cent. of her people, reported as haY-
ing occupations, engaged in agriculture.
The value of her farm lands was Sl0.S5
per acre. Pennsylvania had but 20 6S-10O
per cent. of her workers employed in ag-
riculture, and her farm lands were
worth S49.30 per acre. Other States pre-
sent similar contrasts. Obio's proper
ton of agricultural workers is 80 9T-lO0
per cent, and her farm lands average
S45 81; while Kentucky, on the bank of
the Ohio, has 81 67-I0O per cent, and
her lands, some of which are among the
finest in the world, average but 1892
per acre. Take two other States, lying
side by side, on the same parallel, set
tied by people of similar origin and
equal intelligence-Illinois and Iowa
the former has 43 65-10O per cent. in ag-
riculture, and lands valued at S3I.S7 per
acre; the latter 81 46-lOO per cent, and
lands worth S2292. So it is elsewhere
and everywhere. A State or Nation
with little productive industry except
the cultivation of the soil has little
wealth, few markets, and ne induce
ment TO produce a surplus of anything.
The influence of home markets on
prices, with the reflex influence of pri-
ces on fertilization and culture. is suffi
cient to answer for all this difference.
= The advantages of great va-ie-
ty in industry are manifold, one of the
highest of which is the fact that all
classes and capacities, young and old.
male and female, are furnished with
something to do. and with motive of
doing it, and thus labor in some form
becomes the rule, to which there are
few exceptions. Consumers and pro-
ducers are at each others doors. or COM
mingled in the same household, and car
riers and gO-betweens absorb bur small
portion of the profits of industry"

THE Ohio Liquor Dealers Association,
in session at Toledo last week, denounced
the Republicans roundly for enacting the
Scott law and for submitting amendments
to the Constitution concerning the traffic

Dealers Association to let either of the
pending amendments become law would

This medicine was introduced to the medi-
cal profession and to the public at large by s
B Hartman, NJ D, in 1877, after he had pre-
scribed it to over 10000 patients in almost
every disease to which flesh is heir. 1t is
wholly composed Of numerous vegetable in>
gradients, each one of which is acknOa ledged
by the medical profession to be the most po>
tent of all the herbal remedies known to med
ical sience. But its great virtue is mainly at
tributed to the new and peculiar proportions
in which the harmonious ingredients are COM
bined, and to the extreme care exercised in its
manufacture, using only the pure, active
principles, and excluding all that is crude or
irritating; no one should be without Peruna.

SINCE the Ohio Liquor Dealers Asso-

question has been evolved to
be decided in the coming election, to wit:
Shall fraction of the saloon keepers of
Ohio, the most ignorant fraction at that,

the Republicans turn out to the election
in October, the question will be decided
negatively, much to the discontinue of
