Foraker and His organ differ.


The insincerity of the republican
candidate for governor and his willing
ness to make business and labor his
means of success are made manifest
by comparison between his hyster-
ical appeal to labor and the views of
the Commercial Gazette 90 the subject
of the tariff.
In his keynote speech Judge Foraker
said: 1.-The whole nation is watching
the fight, and to be affected by the re-
suit. If Ohio goes against us the fu-
ture administrative policy of the
country will be unsettled for a year to
come with dangerous menace hang
ing over US of an absolute change to
follew.
"The incoming of the next congress
is attended with threat that there is
to be a revision of the tariff laws in
the interest of free trade. / need not
tell you people who live in this thriv-
ing manufacturing city of the effect
this has already produced. Capital is
sensitive. 1t shrinks from the very
appearance of danger. 1t was always
so it will always be SO. 1t has been
shrinking from the moment the pres
cut political situation was made mani
fest to the country. 1t will continue
to shrink until We are relieved from it'
After giving the example of the car
riage maker who is protected in order
to sell his wares cheaper abroad than
he sells them to his own countrymen,
he said the whole country was taking
in sail, and watching Ohio to see
whether to put it out again"
How does the Commercial Gazette
dispose of this nonsense? 1t says:
ut is already clear that there will
be no important change-indeed, none
not agreeable to both par ,ies-in the
tariff next winter, and the certainty
will be good for business. Democratic
discussion of the question would there
fore seem to be premature, to say the
least. Why agitate when there is
nothing to accomplish ?"
Thus we derive the poison and the
antidote from the same quarter. Judge
Foraker is willing to harrow up the
souls of capitalists and laboring men.
not willing to go quite so far. Its
double-barreled enterprise is new
Judge Foraker says there is danger OF
revision in the direction of free trade.
The G. 6. says ii is impossible. Judge
Foraker says the whole country is
taking in sail. The G. G. intimates
that it is sadly fooled country if it is
But the G. G. asks why do demo.
Gratis agitate when nothing can be &C.
complished But, see, it is Judge
Foraker is agitating, raising spooks
and specters to fright the souls OF
timid capitalists and business men
The democratic party has simply said
that it will raise a revenue for an eco
nomical government, laying its duties
where it will encourage labor and not
foster monopolies. The danger to cap
ital and industry comes from those
who would create surpluses to foster
monopolies, who would accumulate
surplus revenues to be squandered il
river and harbor bills, on star routes
or to be distributed among the state!
to be stolen by state officials. If ther,

J ing to the burdens of taxation, for the

there is no danger to be apprehende,

If it were true, as alleged by that
brace of beauties, Foster and Jay
haMker,n that Hoadly spent money
freely to secure his nomination, it is
certain that the cash was not stolen
from the, peoples treasury by star
route thieves, whisky rings or Credit
Mobilier combinations. nor was it
wrung from the employees of the gov
ernment by Jay Hubbell, the black
mailer for political purposes. The
charge of using money for political
purposes comes with an ill grace from
the party that spent over $500, 900 to
carry Indiana in October, 1880, and
that levied contributions on all the
monopolists, government thieves and
swindlers, as well as the clerks and
tide walters, for the purpose of raising
funds to corrupt and control elections,

THE subject of temperance was
touched upon the other day by that
great preacher, Henry Ward Beecher,
The Brooklyn divine is opposed to
what he calls "enforced morality"
1t is not all abstract question, Prop
osition in philosophy, but an historical
problem. The attempt to keep people
sober by making the sale of liquor d
crime, has been tried so long and so
thoroughly in New England, that am
pie data has been furnished for n def
mite settlement of the feasibility of
prohibition. Preceded by the Wash
ingtonian cyclone, which swept distil-
leries and even cider mills out of Yam
kee land, leaving a profound conviction
that any indulgence in Intoxicating
drinks was deeply sinful, the way was
prepared for successful trial of pro-
hibItion. There is, however, no agree
ment as 10 the practical workings of
the system. While Neal Dow still
rides his pet hobby, another no less
conspicuous temperance man-Cary,
of Ohio, has reached substantially the
same conclusion that Mr., Beecher has.

COLUMBUS, July 31.-General Dur
bin Ward has written the following
letter to the Democratic Executive
Committee, which sets at rest the idle
stories put afiOat by the Republican
press that he would forget his DemOc-
racy and patriotism and sulk in his
tent while the great battle between
Democracy and honesty and Foster
and star routeism was going on. Chair
man Bargar had informed Gen. Ward
that the campaign would probably
open early in September. Subsequent
ly the committee met and fixed on the
18th as the date for opening the battle.
General Wards letter is as follows:
LEBANON, o., July u, 1883.
DEAR SIR: Your letter advising me
that the Democratic State canvass will
open about the first of September, ar
rived in my absence. I expect to take
active part, and am ready at any time
to do my share of the work, though l
think September is early enough to
begin the general campaign on tie
hustings.
L shall be glad to consult with your
committee as to where they wish me
to go, and am much obliged by your
suggestion that my wishes will be
gladly consulted. think we will find
no difficulty in selecting the places
where shall speak.
The success OF the whole State and
Legislative ticket is so importat to us,
now and next year, that we must ali
labor with activity, zeal, and wisdom,
and if we do, victory awaits our cause
Very truly, DURBIN WARD.

IF the tariff protects American in
dustry, why are the representatives of
American industry continually going
upon strikes and demanding higher
wages of their employers? Why, in
stead, don't they demand more tariff
protection Is it because they are be-
ginning to understand that the tariff
protects only the interests of their en-
ployers, leaving them to protect them
selves as best they can, and compelling
them to pay projected prices for the
necessaries of life? The protective
tariff system presents the best possible
practical illustration of the theory that
the Government should take care of
the rich and trust the rich to take care
Of the poor. Hence the continual re-
currence of labor strikes, which are
the conclusive proof that labor has no
other protection than that which it is
driven to provide for itself II Belle
