WOULD not the country have been
more prosperous? Would not business
men have been more prosperous?
Would not the waged have received
more work and better wages, if the Re-
publican party had only collected rom
the people sufficient taxes for public
purposes, and allowed nearly SAC, ,OCO,-
900 to remain in the channels of busi-
ness, instead of remaining idle IN the
vaults of the Treasury. Every farmer;
mechanic and 'aboripg man should
vote in favor of a change, vote to re.
store the idle surplus to the channels Of
trade.

The Democrats of Ohio are enthusi-
astic this year to degree that surprises
the Republican managers who expected
to carry this State because it has gone
their way in all previous Presidential
years. Democratic meetings are spon-
taneous. 1t doesn't require drumming
to get up reminder of the enthusiasm
of 40. There was great Democratic
meeting at Columbus yesterday, which
was addressed from several stands,
afternoon and evening, by Ex-Gover-
nor Hendricks, Hon. Henry B. Payne,
Senator Bayard, Senator Pendleton and
others.-Enquircr Goth ult.

THE Republicans tell us that the
Democrats are worked up over the fact
of an overfiowing treasury at Washing
ton. True, they are worked up, and
the people are incensed over the fact
that over $4OO,OOO,OO0 are lying idle in
the National treasury. They are in
censed because they know that this
money comes out of their jackets, and
because they have learned that it is
there for no other purpose than Re-
publican corruption fund. The Demo-
Gratis, backed by the people, are going
to stop this unnecessary drain into the
National treasury of money from the
pockets of the agricul ural and labor
ing classes Of the country.

THE little village of Texas was fairly
ablaze with Democratic fire and enthu-

ocrats of that vicinity raised fine
hickory pole at Texas in the afternoon,
had a grand torch light parade in the
evening, after which the crowd listened
to addresses by w. H. Hubbard and
Jas. Donovan. Both of these gentle
men made tellingspeeches. The crowd
was estimated at 500, among the num-
ber several Republicans who signified
their intention of voting for Cleveland,
Newman, Hill and change in the
National administration.

THE government continues to assess
war taxes upon nearly all the neces-
saries of life, and collects more than
800, O,OO0, 900 year more than is neces-
sary to meet the governments expen-
ses including pensions and interest on
the national debt. A continuance of
Republican policy-that is, the war taxes
will be continued and the money piled
up in the treasury where it will do the
people no good. 1t is time to make a
change of rulers.

THERE are no Democrats around thi

THERE are no Democrats around this
section who can be bought with Repub-
lican money, and they (the Replbli-
cans) have plenty of it, but with prom
ises and its liberal use they may be
able to whip and buy in kickers in
their own party. But these will be few
very few, compared with the large
number of thinking Republicans who
have made up their minds that a
change is necessary. No Republican
corruption fund can buy them. They
wish to see revival of prosperity
They have come to the conclusion that
year after year under Republican ad-
ministration the condition ofthe count
ry is growing more and more preca.
rious and dangerous to the prosperity Of
the people, until now halt is de.land
ed and change must be made. These
men are no fools, they can see plainly
and read intelligently the signs of the
tim and they fully understand tina
in no single year has there been such s
snrinkage in values of all kinds as il
the present. Business from one end o
the country to the other depressed
mills closed down; workmen by tn
thousands discharged; bankruptc.
abounds throughout the land and wan
prevailing to an alarming extent
They see all this, and at the same tim
know that over FOUR HUNDRED
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS are lyin
idle at Washington in the t-easur
vaults, money which has been take
from the people by system of taxatio
which the Republican party wishes t
continue.

DO Justice to the Partner.

The advocates of high protective
tariff justify their demands and the
robbery of the people by claiming that
such tariff is for the benefit of the
laborer. Let us see how much truth
there Is in this claim. By turning to
page of the second volume of the GEN.
sus Report of 1880, we find that in 1879
the manufacturing industries stood as
follows:
No. of factories in the U. s............. 2Ss,sS3
Capital invested. 81, ,79O, ,272 SOC
Pesons employed 2,732025
Wages paid ..............S si7,9SSISo
Cost Of mAterial....... 1885,, SzSrosg
Value Of 1853 lsi
Net ,02i s0l, 747
BY dividing the number of persons
employed in these factories into the ag-
gregate sum of wages paid, We find that
the laborer receives as his average
wages per year the enormously sum of
SS4l. And by adding the amount paid
for labor and that paid for material, we
get the aggregate expense of the man.
ufacturing industries of the United
States amounting to S4,344, III, ,344.
Subtract this from the value of the prod
ucts aud We have the net profit, which
gives to the capital invested dividend
of SO per cent. Thus it will be seen
that the man who has capital of 81 900
invested in these factories will, at the
end of one year, draw out the sum of
$500, while the poor devil who tolls ten
hours each day of the year draws out
only S341.
Now, if protective tariff is intended
to benefit the laborer, then the laborer
should be partner in the benefits de-
rived from it, and the account should
stand something like this: Capital ih-
vests 81 900, labor invests in the shape
of muscle S341; the earnings of the
combined labor and capital is SOL, capi-
tai is worth 6 per cent. and should draw
out $50, labor is worth SAL which
should be paid to it. This leaves net
profit Of $500. This should if the claim
of protectionists is true, be divided in
proportion of 81 ,OC9 to $G41, making a
fraction over % per cent, and would
give to labor as its share of the profits
the sum of SG7.G3. In other words,
labor would receive of the S701 the sum
of $42S.63 and capital would get $272.37
a fraction over q per cent.
Whenever protectionists will begin
dividing the plunder derived from the
tariff robbery in this manner we will
begin to believe their professions OF
sympathy for labor. Until then we
must continue to regard it as sheer
clap-trap and hypocracy.

Murdered by a Masked Robber

CLEVELAND, December I0.-At s
o'clock last evening farmer named
Harrington, living two miles from
Geneva, was called to the door by a
knock, and upon opening 1t he was
confronted by masked man, who
sighted along the barrel of a revol-
yer and said: II want your money.
Harring took small sum from his
pocket and handed it to the robber
who took it and exclaimed ~ want
the balance" At that moment the
mask fell from his face, and Mrs.
Harrington, who was standing near
cried out: "Oh, | know him l""You
do, do you ?" shouted the ruffian,
take tn at, then" and he fired at her
the bullet going through her shoul-
der. Mrs. Harrington ran out of the
house and to neighbors for
help. Returning with friends the
evidences of a desperate struggle
were found in the house. Harring-
ton lay dead on the floor with bull
let in his forehead. Mrs. Harring-
ton recognized the murderer as fell
low named Peck, who lived two
miles from the farm. Lewis Web
ster has been arrested on the charge
of numbering Harrington. He was
the man recognized by Mrs. Harring-
ton, but whose mans was first given
as Peck. He was quietly taken in
a sleigh by the Sheriff to Jefferson.

ALL this talk about Mr.. Cleveland
favoring civil service reform is mere
rot. The men who won the victory
for him did not fight the battle for
the sole honor of winning. The
public patronage will be used for all
it is worth, and the Democratic
leaders will entrencb themselves in
their position by every means in
their power. Let nobody forget
that No party ever succeeded to
power that did not straightway use
every means to hold its new posi-
ton. Talk about continuing civil
service reform is simply intended as
a blind. The boys" know better,
and they wLo live to see the expira-
ton of the year 1885 will find a
nearly unbroken line of Democrats
filling all the places under the
government, from President down to
the smallest village postmaster.
Talk is cheap, but the fruits of VIC
tory are not going to be frittered away
by party whose appetite is shar-
pened by fast of twenty-four years,
and whose axiom is, "To the victors
belong the spoils.n
