The Pre.iden,,. Mes.a<e.

Congress convened on Mondoy, but out Of
respect to the memory Of Vice President
Hendricks, both Houses adjourned immedi-
ately after organizing. The Presidents
message was therefor not read until Tuesday.
The message is a lengthy document and its
reading was listened to with marked atten-
ton by both Senators and Representatives.
Democrats and Republicans, and upon every
hand President Cleveland was complimented
for his business like talk and recommenda-
tions to Congress. It isthe first Democratic
message since the last one of James Buch-
anan in 1860, quarter of a century ago. The
event is one especially gratifying to Demo-
Gratis and it marks new era in our nations
history. Our paper has been delayed a few
hours in order to lay before readers the
message complete, which is presented in sup
plement form.

~ Much facetiousness has been INDUCED
in by Republican newspapers, over place
seekers in the Democratic party. They are
characterized as ga hungry horde Of Office
seekers" who are eternally ''scrambling af-
ter the spoils of ofice.n From the bitter
condemnation which is showered upon
Democratic aspirants one would think that
the pure and Immaculate souls of Republicans
would scorn to seek an office, and would in
dignantly repel such suspicion as an insult.
Yet, strange as it may appear, we find that
the scramble" for Office among Republicans
in Ohio is unparalleled in the history of the
State. The ''scramblers" are numbered by
the hundreds and by the thousands, and for
the most petty offices, from spittoon cleaner
in the State House, upward. No less than six
hundred applications have been made for
some menial position in the peniteptiary.
kilograms and letters are showered upon the
newly appointed Adjutant General of the
State, all applications for some official crumb.
The same is true in every other department.
Oh no, Republicans don't care anything for
Office! The fact is you cannot drive them out
when they once get in.-Bee.

Money.

TOLEDO, o., Nov. 10th, 1885.
Ed. DEMOCRATIC NoRTHwEsT:-Th Govern
ment of the United States retains the exclus-
i've right to coin money and regulate the
value thereof. Is it not clearly the duty of
| the government to make the value of the
silver and gold dollars as near equal as pos
sible at the present age of the world. The
silverharpers insist upon the continuation of
the coinage of silver dollars at the rate of
100000 per month without giving any good
reason for it. The government is compelled
by law to coin this silver, and it does not
benefit any of the people except owners of
silver mines and those who are engaged in
mining silver. The law tends to keep up the
price of silver, and also to load the vaults of
the United States Treasury with 85 cent dol
lars to hereafter curse the poor people of this
country if they are ever fortunate enough to
get any of them by doing dollars worth of
work for an IS cent dollar.
This buying of $2,0OO,0OO of silver per
month may be termed protection to home
| industry SO far as the purchase applies to the

or wheat receive the same protection, all are
products of the ground? A little more free
trade will do good.
The time is not far distant when this tract
ional IS cent dollar will force those who con-
troll the wealth of the country into making
gold contracts and exacting payments in
gold. Then where is your cheap dollar-a
repudiated currency; much better would it
be for the government to buy gold and make
whole dollar good throughout the world
coin enough silver for the wants of the peo-
pie for change.
Banks or individuals depositing gold coin
or bullion in the Treasury should receive a
gold certificate, payable on demand. These
certificates would be the same as greenbacks,
and with our national bank currency the
people would be well supplied with circu-
lating medium.
This coinage of eighty-fve cent dollars is a
fraud on the people of this country. It's a
delusion. The government is holding back
from the people about fifteen cents on dol
lar-and for what purpose? Do the people
wish to be deceived in this way? think not.
They want equal money for all, rich or poor.
Let the government call in all their cheap
dollars, and melt them over again, and give
the people 100 cent dollar as near as pos
sible in exchange for the present issue.
No one loses by the transaction. The
government has the difference in the value
of the dollar. Itcan afford to repay it to the
people, The government is the agent Of the
people, and the recoinage af the silver dollar
is the best way out of the dilemma, and when
recoined it will supply the country with silver
dollars for the next fifty years. @.

~ There is no thorough and effectual
means for distributing an advertisement

public, except by having it published in the

vertisement planted in one issue of news
paper that has circulation of one thousand

y The Plain Dealer, discussing the wheat
question, asks: "Are our wheat exports be-
ing reduced in the face of this competitionf
Startingly. In July, 1885, we sent abroad
3,G04, 125 bushels. In July, 1884, our exports
were 6,92S, ,402 bushels. In August, 1885, we
exported but 4, ,1S7, ,60S bushels as against u,
3S2, ,943 bushels in the same month of 1884, ,and
in September of this year the exports in
bushels were 3,73s,467 against 9,6O9, 1888 in
September, 1884. These figures show totals
of IL, ,53O, ,290 bushels in the three months OF
1885 and 2S,92l,27S bushels in the same
period of 1884. These figures are little sur
prising TO say the least. And India has
plenty of wheat to sell. England sees the
Importance of marketing it well, and govern
ment as well as private railroads are being
built on all parts of Indian soil to bring the
crop to the great seaports. In 1880 the ex-
ports of Indian wheat were less than 4,0O0, ,0OC
of bushels. Last year its crop was 2S6,0OO,-
600, and this year it will be heavier still,
threatening to equal if not surpass our own.
India uses less of her grain product than
does America. Last year we grew about 800,
100000 bushels and had about $4,000, ,OOC
bushels held over. OF this we could spare
less than 75,000, 600 bushels, and it ought to
have gone, as England, France, Italy and
Russia had short crops. India filled their
graneries, it seems. At any rate we, that had
the right to do SO by prescedence and the

Country Schools.

The condition of the country schools Of
this State is receiving much attention from
the State Commissioner, and from leading
educators throughout the State. Commits
sioner Brown is bending his energies toward
bettering these schools, first by securing
more uniformity of action, and second, by
securing iudicious legislation at the coming
session of the General Assembly. With this
object in view he has called convention of
county boards of examiners and institute
workers to meet in Columbus, during the
holidays. The purpose of this is to have a
full and free discussion of plans of work by
these people and secure, if possible, some
thing like uniformity in the examination of
applicants for certificates and in the methods
of instruction. At present every county
board of examiners has different set of
questions. In some States there is State
Board of Education, which prepares all these
questions, and thus uniformity is secured. +"

az Ifany of the readers of the NoRrHwEs

~ If any of the readers of the NORTHWEST
are the happy possessors of two silver dollars,
they can develop puzzling circumstance by
the following experiment: Lay them on a
table, holding one stationary and revolving
the other around it. If the top of the revoly-
ing dollar is placed 80 that the top of the
head points north before turning it, it will be
found to point the same direction when
half way round, and again when the revolution
is completed. Now, does the moving dollar
make two revolutions in turning once around
the stationary dollar? When you get through
with the experiment it is good policy to call
upon the printer and leave at least part of
the two dollars with him if you owe him.

Resolutions.

We, the legal voters and taxpayers OF West
precinct, Liberty twp, Henry county, Ohio,
in special meeting assembled Dec. 9Th, 1885,
for the purpose of defeating the Morton
stone. road law" of Henry county, Ohio,
adopted the following resolutions:
{ WHEREAS, certain law is standing on our
Statute Books for Henry county, known as
the Norton Stone Road Law, which would be
crushing and pauperizing in its effects to al
most the whole people Of the county with no
equivalent for generation to come to the
great majority of the taxpayers of said
county, for the special benefit and enhance
ment Of the property Of a limited few, and,
WHEREAS, the development of said county is
still in its infancy, thousands of acres Of un-
improved lands whose occupants and owners
are struggling with their might to clear away
the dense forest and improve their farms,
and common roads of their respective neigh
borhooeSs.
AND, WHEREAS, The whole people are reel
ing under the heavy burden of excessive tax
alton and bonded Indebtedness already i'm
posed upon them. And, whereas, the Norton
stone road law is being urged, in known op-
position to the will and prayers of the great
majority of the taxpayers. And, whereas,
we are advised that the majority Of the pres
ent Commissioners are about to assume the
rights of Lords and Masters in the immediate
execution Of said law. Therefore, be it
Resolued, that we, as tax payers, are opposed
to further increase of taxation, or increase Of
bonded Indebtedness Of the county until all
outstanding bonds are paid of.
Resolved, that we as voters at the ballot
box, will oppose any candidate for county
Office who favors the building of stone roads
or in any manner increasing the bonded in
debtedness Of said county until all tho out
standing bonds are redeemed, and viii re-
quire all candidates for county Office IL
pledge themselves publically to carry out the
/ measures of these resolutions.

~ The Adiutant General of Ohio has

to participate in the Inauguration of Cover,
nor-elect Foraker. Exchange. Aa
This is piece of extravaganza which can
only be in the interest of railroads running
into Columbus and to benefit the hotels of
that city. Tt is sheer nonsense, and the tax
payers Of the State will be called upon to
foot the bill. An inauguration similar to
that of Gov. Hoadly two years ago would be
more in harmony with the feelings of the
people, and in line with sound sense and sim
plicity. Foraker's ready compliance in ev-
cry thing which denotes show at his coming
Inauguration clearly shows the calibre of the
man. It was mistake when the people sub
stituted him for Geo. Hoadly. @fs

chine on Hon. H. @. Groschner. The at
tempt of the Signal editor to besmirch
the character of Mr.. Groschner, who is in ev-

puerile, and reminds one forceably of the
flea and the elephant. The editor of the above
sheet can't hurt Mr.. Groschner, which fact
riles him exceedingly. Mr.. G. is known as
an upright and enterprising citizen, whose
character for integrity is above reproach,
which is much more than can be said of the
fellow who is turning the crank of the Re-
publican smut machine in this county.

.W tariff reduction of ten per cent. on
bar iron was proposed while John Sherman
was Secretary of the Treasury and he favored
it. A number of iron manufacturers of
Pittsburg waited upon him to demonstrate,
whereupon he coolly asked them it they
could not take the per cent. off the wages
paid the iron workers, and so make it
even to themselves. This is the man, fellow
citizens, who steps into the shoes of Thos.
A. Hendricks. Hendricks had more human
sympathy in his little finger than John Sher-
man has in his whole body. He is an icicle,
and has only sympathy for the bloated bond
holders. The laborer can take care of him
self. But let labor get a whack at Sherman,
and his days will be numbered-for Office

his country ever lived than Vice President
Hendricks. Truer to his country than many

during the rebellion labored for the disrup-
