Where the Money Goes

One of the favorite plans of cam
paigning, with the political dema-
gogue, is the cry Of oppressive taxa
ton. And many an honest taxpayer
has his eyes suddenly opened to the
fact that his taxes do seem to be much
higher than they should be. If the
honest, sober taxpayer wauld discern
the hidden ,under-currents by which
his money is swept away, let him
come along with US on short tour
of investigation. The first place we
come to is a building with frosted
windows and green screen, and
standing in the door is great, bloat-
ed, sneaking-looking loafer. There
is where part of your money is made
away with. The stream which bears
away your money flows through this
den. We visit nearly score more Of
such places, with practically the same
experience. Now we visit stone
building on the public square. This
building is nearly completed, and will
have to be paid for. There is where
many thousands of dollars of your
money went Next we arrive at a
large and oaatly building a couple of
miles from town. There are many
inmates Of this building who were
brought to their helpless circum-
stances by and through a common
cause. Here is where a lot more Of
your money went, and is going. We
leave the Infrmary building, and
come back by way of the old jail,
whose walls are filled with stories Of
drunkenness, theft, murder. and crime
of every description. Through this
channel thousands of dollars Of your
money have passed away. VIII at!
Still unsatisfed? Then let us go
back the way we game, until we ar
rive at our first stepping-place, the
doggery. Now take the Jail with all
its evil associations, the Infrmary
with all it's misery, and add to these
nine-tenths Of the crime, suffering
and ruin visible on every hand, then
trace the cause carefully, and you
will find that in each case the lines
run in the same direction. Each one
of them reaches into the saloon. Unless
the fountain be cut of. the taxes
must increase, instead of diminish.
Where does your money go? 1t goes
to supp ort the lazy, worthless dog
gery-keepers.

The True Sign.

ONE Of the beauties of license
law, as adopted in some of the States,
is that the man who takes out L.
cense to sell Intoxicating liquors,
must prove good moral character.
just think of it! A creature who
would rob man Of his last cent, and
take the clothing off his back in
pawn for whisky; a creature who
would rob a suffering family of the
last loaf Of bread; a creature who des-
ecrates the Sabbath, and mocks at
God; think of such creature possess
ing a good moral character!
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-09-06
Here is how Foraker looks:

JUDGE HoADLY is reported as hav-
ing said in his Zoar speech, when
speaking of the proposition to submit
an amendment to the Constitution
to restore the license to sell intoxicat-
ing liquors, as follows:
''And then the Senate by a unani-
nous vote except one-Mr. Pollard
being the only member of the Senate
who voted against it-submitted Ii
cense clause. Every member Of the
Senate, except Mr.. Pollard, every Re-
publican, voted for it. When it got
to the House it could not carry.
Why? Because the Republican par
ty knew if it was submitted-now
that the times are changed, now that
the danger of prohibition is before
the people-a fair and square propo-
sition for license would carry There
fore it did not pass the House.
''It passed the Republican Senate
by 81 to 1. 1t went to the House. 1t
got ali the Democratic votes and a
minority Of the Republican votes, but
it was voted down by Republican
majority. preventing it carrying the
necessary number Of votes to submit
it to the people; and, therefore, we
are compelled to choose between the
present Constitution for these two
years to come, until we can submit
another amendment, or adopt one Of
the two amendments which are SUBJ
mitted already. What is called leg
islative control has a provision that
the tax may be used for destruction
and absolute prohibition"
Now we were told by r. H. Jones,
Mr.. Bundy, and others, that when
this proposition was before the House,
that about one-third Of the Democrats
voted for it; about one-third lodged,
&c. How is this? Mr.. Jones told us
that enough Republicans were pledged
to vote for it, to secure its passage,
provided the Democrats had voted for
it. Is it possible that we are mistaken,
or is Judge Hoadly liarp Will Mr..
Jones inform us what are the facts in
the case?

Just Twenty Years Ago.

On the Sd day of September, 1863
the first number Of the Jackson STAN
dard was issued after the destruction
Of the office by the Democratic crowd
Of thieves and murderers headed by
John Morgan. For nearly six years
prior to that time we had been princi-
pal editor, and from February 8, 1861,
to July Is, 1868, we had owned one
half Of the Office, and Judge Trip
owned the other half. Since that
time we have owned the entire con-
cern.
We now have the most complete
Office in the State We have not
space to make many comparisons. On
the Sd of September, 1868, we printed
"a quires; now we print so. The pa
per then had "a columns; now it has
80. The entire edition then weighed
less than 40 pounds; now, before it is
wet down, it weighs $50 pounds.
Then we had only enough type to do
for that small paper; now we have
enough for two papers the size of the
STANDARD. Then we had only one old
hand press; now we haye six presses,
steam engine, and every otLer article
used in any Office. Then one man
and a boy could do all the work; now
we never have less than five hands,
seven or eight. And so on.

The Need of Firm Men.

Since the campaign seems to be on,
in real earnest, we have been prayer
fully studying the state of the coun-
try, and the political tendencies of
the times and the statesmen, and we
have somewhat reluctantly arrived at
the conclusion that it would not be
safe to send Washam to the State
Senate.
Washam has already said that if
the second amendment were carried
an adverse Legislature might amend
the amendment, or repeal the consti-
tuition, or some such thing. Tom
might introduce bill to that effect,
and here would be all our labor for
nothing!
Then it is well known-by his last
published declaration, so far as we are
able to fnd-that Tom is opposed to
negroes voting, here and in the
South" Now, suppose he were sent
up to Columbus to represent this Dis
trict, and he should introduce a bill
repeating the Fifteenth Amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States. There would be hundreds Of
thousands Of men thrown out Of the
rights of citizenship. Men and
brethren, do you not see the horrible,
threatening danger that stares US ip
the face--but we forbear; it is
too horrible to think about. The
dearest interests of the people cry
aloud for protection against states
men of this class; the American eagle
sits, with fallen wings, and dropping
tail-feathers, upon the State House at
Columbus, and tearfully begs not to
be turned over to Washam. Friends
we must arouse to the danger of the
ituation-Washam must be beaten.

THERE is not that peace, and love,
and joy, among the Democratic poll
ticiaus of Jackson which should pre-
vail among brethren bound together
by one common tie Of greed for office.
Since their organ here has gone back
On the respectable portion Of the
party, and taken its place as the
defender cf the doggeries, the bet
ter class of Democrats have lost
interest in party politics. While
some of the leading Democrats in
town are trying to advance the inter-
ests of the party, and conduct cam
paign with some show Of life, the
Herald is busy at work as disorgan-
izer, and is already quarreling with
some Of the best Democrats in town.
While of course we desire to see that
party beaten, we are in position to
enjoy the tribulations of our Demo-
cratic friends, and can give them our
blessing, and say: Go in, friends,
and the Devil take the hindmost.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-09-06

A GREAT many years ago we read
the following lines in the American
Jest Book:
THE faults of neigh bors with freedom blame
But not curse Ives, though prsctice the same
We were reminded Of this when we
saw the following, in the Gallipolis
Bulletin:
"Will the Journal now take back
what it published about Dan. Voor-
hees saying that Hoadly ought to be
defeated? OF course not. Republi-
can lies constitute their stock in trade
this campaign"
We have no desire to mix inSwith
any quarrel between the Gallipolis
papers. The Journal is abundantly
able to take care of itself. Lying is a
bad business-it is poor policy, and if
the Journal has been lying, it should
at once stop.
But what shall we say of the fol-
lowing, which appeared in the same
number Of the Bulletin.
1.-THE colOred voters are sensitive.
They would not be found leaving the
grand old party if the grand old
party's standard bearer had not called
them ID niggers. He wants their
votes now. but there are hundreds and
hundreds that he will not get"
Now the man who wrote the above
knew that it was dirty, mean, mali
cious lie-every word Of it. Foraker
never said any such thing. The COL
ored voters are not leaving the Repub-
lican party. Any colored man who
has sense enough to come in when it
rains, knows that the above silly lie
is about as foolish as the lie still re-
peated by low Democratic editors,
that Gov. Foster said that the ID
Methodists ought to have backset.

Jackson County Mining Institute.
GLEN Roy, Sept. 3, 1888

GLEN hoy, Sept. 8, 1883.
To the Editors of the Standard:
The Jackson County Mining Insti-
tute will hold its next quarterly meet
Ing at Coalton, September IS, at 10
o'clock A. M. This organization,
composed mainly Of mining bosses.
has for its object the development of
the mineral resources Of the county,
the economical working and ventila-
tion of mines, and the improvement
of the social status Of those engaged
in mining. Jackson County is rich
in mineral resources. Coal, iron ore
and limestone rock-the greatest of
modern forces, exist in almost mex
haustible abundance in the county,
and their rapid development during
the past few years has brought the
county to the front rank as a mining
and manufacturing center. But the
end is not yet-we have hardly begun
in fact to build up the great indus
tries Of the county, which the future
will bring out. No county in Ohio
is so fortunately located for the estab-
lishment of rolling mills, blast fur
naces and mines. Vast untouched
fields Of iron ore, coal and limestone.
the very existence of which is hardly
suspected, stretch along the eastern
border Of the county. Every person
practically engaged in mining opera
tions, as well as every citizen employ
ed in other pursuits of life, have an
interest in the future growth and
greatness of the mineral interests of
the county.
In the development Of these re-
sources the miners are required to
penetrate deep into the bowels of the
earth, liberating noxious and poison
GUS gases which, to dilute and render
harmless, requires the exercise of spe-
cial skill and training on the part of
those entrusted with the management
of mines. Our working miners, a
generous and warm-hearted class of
men. deserve to be encouraged in the
good work in which they are engaged
at present in building up reading
rooms and libraries. The Mining In
stitute of Jackson County is encour-
aging this work earnestly and we'll.
The association deserves and should
receive the encouragement Of all. The
members derive no pecuniary or other
benefit from the society except the
reward Of doing good: This is the
only association Of the kind in any of
the mining counties of the State, or
in the United States. 1t is modelled
after the State Association of Mining
Engineers, and many of its members
belong to that Institute.

WE believe the second proposition
is gaining ground every day, as the
people are becoming more thoroughly
aroused to its Importance. The tenn
perance question is one which no
good citizen can afford to ignore. The
present fight is one. in which every
good citizen is deeply interested. 1t
is great moral conflict, and the bat
tle-feld presents some features not
usually seen in public contest. This
is veritably public contest between
the home and the saloon; between
peace. and joy, and happiness, on the
one hand, and drunkenness, crime,
and ruin, on the other hand; on the
one side are arrayed home, righteous
ness, God, and the angels; on the 9th
er side are arrayed the saloons, Satan,
and his imps. All the sacred ties and
influences Of home cry out to the vo-
ter for manly and noble action in the
conflict. Helpless infancy, suffering
womanhood, fallen victims, crowded
alms-houses and teeming prisons, urge
every true man on to a fearless dis
charge of his duty in this important
hour. No man can afford to go on
through life with the responsibility
which would be placed upon him for
a vote against this important measure.
Let us all do our duty fearlessly, and
assist in achieving glorious victory
on Gods side Of this great question.

Press Association.

We had two invitations to meet in
Cincinnati last week with the South
western Ohio editors, to fix the price
Of advertising rates. but we were not
able to attend. About fifty editors
met. We concur in the rates they
adopted, and will abide thereby. By
these rates, the circulation Of the
Standard will entitle it to charge 40
cents per inch, per month. Adver-
tisements next reading matter double
the above, or so cents.
The Convention omitted one i'm
portant matter; they should have re-
solved to have pay in advance. Some
agencies, and some proprietors Of pat
ent medicines are safe, while many of
them are not reliable. We hereby
give notice that no s'foreign" adver-
tisement will go into the Standard
hereafter without payment in ad-
vance, at the above rates.

THE rural Democratic papers are
rejoicing over the joy and harmony in
the Democratic camp. The fact is,
there is scarcely Democratic county
to be found where the decent, respect
able portion Of the Democratic party
are not warning with the "bosses,
politicians, and disreputable portion
Of the party. That party has rarely,
if ever, gone into campaign in so
sadly torn-up condition as at pres
ont
