LET the Democracy dodge it as IL

LET the Democracy dodge it as they
may, the tariff is the great financial and
commercial question of the day. Shall
American industries be protected from
the pauper labor of Europe? That is the
overshadowing question with every cit
iZen who prefers the prosperity of his
own country. The people of this con-
gressional district are to answer within
the next two weeks by their votes, ,wheth-
er they sustain candidate in the person
of A. J. Warner, who voted for Carlisle,
the leading free trader of the country
for speaker of the National House of
Representatives and put it in his power
to make the important committee of
WAYS and Means free trade committee,
capable of reporting favorably the Nor
rison tariff bill, or sustain one in the per-
son of j. ID. Taylor, whose vote was
against free trade Speaker and free
trade organization, and in favor of every
measure looking to the protection of
American interests. The position of Mr..
Warner as stated by that gentleman on
the stump, concerning protection or free
trade is IA matter of no moment; the fact
stares the voter in the face that he voted
for free trader for Speaker of the
House of Representatives. Actions speak
louder than empty phrases, and by them
he should be judged. The farmer, the
manufacturer, the miner, and every 9th
er class of citizens in Belmont county. all
of whom are vitally interested in the
right determination of the tariff problem
should register no uncertain vote in Oc
tober.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1884-10-02
The Question.

Quibbling will not save the Democrat
ic party. Whether it calls the Morrison
bill, as Mr.. Dorsheimer did, a first step
toward free trade" or a measure for
reveue only or only reduction
of taxation, make no difference. The
voters have found out what the thing
was, aud do not care for the latest label.
1t was trunk full of fdynamite,to be lefl
in our factories there to explode and de
stroy. What lying labels were pasted on
the end do not signify. The people are
studying the bill and its effects. Docu
ments by the million, showing its nature
are demanded from the committees with
an interest never shown before in an,
such topic within the memory of this
generation. The Democrats who try 10
dodge the question, or to hide their posi-
ion by- silence or lying, may be taking
the best course possible for them; that is
question for them to decide. They GER
tainly are taking a course which salts
lies all Republicans. If the truth and
the argument are to be presented by one
side only, while the other side offers only
bubbles about names. evaSive tricks of
phrase, palpable falsehoods, or equally
dishonest silence, the result can be fore
seen.
The great facts, which Republicans
will not fail to press upon the attention
of voters, may be thus briefly stated:
[. The Democratic party, boastfully
proclaiming that tariff refom" was its
great object, elected majority of the
House in 1882.
IL. This House, assembling in Decem-
Der, 1888, elected Mr.. Carlisle Speaker on
the ground that he was free trader, and
in organizing the House would insure the
promised reform"
Ill MrCarlisle did organize the House
with Mr.. Morrison and other noted free
traders in charge of the tariff question
w. These men did bring in bill,
known as "the Morrison BILL" which they
Ideclared was first firm step toward
free trade" and which in fact was such
step.
Y. The Democratic caucus voted about
four to one, to take up the bill as party
measure, and declared this sort of IRE
form" the most vital object of the party
VI. The Democratic House deemed if
of such vast importance that it sacrificed
all other public business in order to force
this measure through.
VII. Four-fifths of the Democratic
| members of the House, in two formal
votes. supported this measure. and it was
barely defeated, nearly all Democratic
Journals denOunciDg as traitors to the
party" the few Democrats who voted
against it.
VIII. Free trade Republicans, prior to
and during the session, encouraged these
proceedings. promising publicly great
free trade bolt if the Democrats would
stick to the plan proposed.
TX The free trade bolt has come,
though it does not prove to be great"
X. The bill. if passed, would have
closed thousands of es Adjustments and
reduced wages generally.
XL. The Democratic party is now try
ing to cheat the people by pretending
/ that it does moi man any mischief on
the riff ! cad date is trying. by
dishonest silence, to obtain votes upon
false pretenses. Y. Tribune.

Democratic Mistakes.

If the Democrats have done anything
but make mistakes in this canvass the
public have failed to notice it.
They made mistake when they nom
mated an unknown man against one Of
the best known men in the country.
They made mistake when they an
nounced that 'the Irish might GO, d.
EN-"
They made mistake when they quar-
relied with John Kelly and invited hin
to go also, blank him."
They made mistake when they de
MED the Halpin scandal, then admitted
and explained it by an explanation that
didn't explain worth shucks.
They made mistake when they hired
Puck to caricature and blackguard the
Irish.
They made an awful mistake when
they concluded that Pat wouldn't take
his shillalah and smash things in return
or insults and Safeguarding.
They made mistake when they nom
mated man for Vice President whit
would stop in the middle of the race and
go to ciphering whether it would be bet
ter to take off the head of the ticket and
put him at the head.
They made mistake when they sup
posed they could cheat the people on the
tariff question, and 'palter with them in
A double sense" in regard to it, and win
They made mistake when they put
Morey Letter Barnum, Prince g. Co. tc
run a reform campaign.
They made mistake when they gol
up that slanderous story about Mr.. and
Mrs. Blaine. For proof, write Shoemaker
Indianapolis Sentinel.
Thus they have piled mistake upon
mistake all the wav through. But the
people will put a full and final stop tt
this blundering business. There's NJ

Re Not Deceived.

The Democratic managers are trying
to create the impression that they have
abandoned all hope of carrying Ohio.
Republicans must not be deceived, nor
lulled into false security by any such
a trick. Never was more unscrupu
Gus or energetic campaign wsged in
his State than that which the Demo
rats are now carrying on. They have
their enissaries travelling over the State
in every direction, well supplied with
money to accomplish their purposes.
They are visiting every school district
and working with individual voters,
plying them with arguments that they
think may be influential in drawing
them from their allegiance. In one lo>
cality they are for protective tariff, in
another for free trade; in country places
they are temperance men, in the cities
hey are found working with the liquor
men; to the Republicans they are luke
warm Democrats, in the Democratic
stronghoIds they are lifelong adherenls
If the bourbon policy: at times they
masquerade AS Independents who are
disgusted with their party, and again
hey pretend To be iu doubt what course
they shall pursue in voting, hoping thus
TO secure the. confidence of lukeWarm
Republicans. Look out for them. b
heir hypocrisy and plausible talk the,
would deceive the very elect. The
Democratic party Is the same that il
mas been since 1861. 1t is the same that
1t was when Carl SchurZ said his hand
should wither before he would again
vote a Democratic ticket. 1t is the
same that it was when it pronounced
he war 4 failure, voted against the con-
stitutional amendments, denounced Lin
;oln as "a bloody tyrant," and Grant as
"a butcher" its managers are the same,

same. Be not deceived by any of their

The liquor dealers and brewers of
Cincinnati have canvassed the State by
counties and obtained a list of about
$4,000 dealers and interested parties to
whom they have addressed circular
calling for the defeat of Judge Johnson
because he sustained the Pond law and
the principles of the Scott law. The
Democratic managers of Cincinnati
wanted to go further and commit them
against the entire Republican ticket. To
do this they repleyined the list of names
as theyw-re beir.g addressed and there
is a quarrel over the matter. The Re-
publican members of the Association
resent the action as an insult and at
tempt to control their political action,
and declare they will have nothing more
to do with it in any shape. 1t is just

place, is always warmly welcomed. He
very ably discussed the issues Of the
campaign for over an hour His ad
dress was not titade upon Democrats.
but he epdeavOred to show them that
the party with which they had been vo>
ting was not their true friend. Senator

spoke short time, but owing to rain, he
did not get to finish his speech. The
speeches of both gentlemen were char
