The Three Renorts.

Senators Hoar and Frye of the senate COM
mittee that had the Payne case under con-
sideration do not say in their report that any
evidence had been presented to the committee
inculpating Mr.. Payne in any way. On the
contrary they say distinctly that there was no
such evidence. They only suggested that the
Ohio gang pretended to have some and that
they ought to be given chance to present it.
Whether Senators Hoar and Frye really
believed the Halstead howlers possessed any
such evidence, or whether they wanted to
give the gang chance to run their smut
mill for campaign purposes, is of no particu-
lar consequence. We know here in Ohio that
the Halstead howlers had no evidence
whatever beyound the stupid stories that were
retailed with SO little profit before the Cow
gill committee. They never had any real
evidence and they lied when they said they
had. And upon the socalled evidence" that
they put before the committee, Senators

The state Convention.

Now that the first Democratic State Con-
vention ever held in the Northwest part OF
the State is about to convene at Toledo, il
behooves all Democrats from this part Of the
State to attend and add to the numbers and
enthusiasm, showing our brethren in the
other parts of the State what the Gibraltar
of Democracy can do upon an occasion of
this kind.
The citizens of Toledo are making all nee
essary arrangements for the accommodation
of the convention, and nothing will be left
undone to make the occasion one of pleasure
and interest to all Democrats in attendance.
The Memorial Building has been secured for
the convention. The stage at the south end
will occupy the whole width of military hall;
seats in the center of the stage will be pro-
vided for the officers of the convention. and
tables will be arranged on each side and in
front for the large corpse of newspaper men
who are expected. The floor will seat over
300 persons, and with the galleries in mill
tary hall, in which the convention proper will
be held, will seat about ], 800, leaving consid-
cradle standing room. "Little Henry" with
its big 14OO Democratic majority to back it,
should not fail to have its quota at the Con-
vention. 1t has been proposed that the DeV-
ocrats of this county attend in body, ac-
companied by our excellent City Band. Let
this be done, and all Democrats who can
conveniently go do so. There will be excur-
sion rates on the Wabash and other railroads.
This will be an excellent OPT ortunity for our
country friends to visit the "Future Great"
and 1.-The big Democratic State Conven-
ton. Come, join the procession, and march
in the Democratic column.

Ohio State University.

Young men and women who are ambitious
to obtain an education, and especially those
who are looking forward to pursuits fol-
which special and practical training is
essential, should consider the opportunities
afforded by the State University, at Colum-
bus. The institution is rapidly growing and
already its facilities for instruction are
equaled by few institutions in the West. New
departments have recently been established
and additional courses of study prescribed
Valuable additions have been made to the
laboratories, and the faculty has been in
creased. Further particulars may be found

~ Haven't you ever noticed that the
large farmer usually brags about the number
of acres he raises, or the number of COWS he
keeps, and that the small, thorough farmer
usually tells of how many bushels he raises
to the acre or of how much money he gets
from each COW? There is pleasure in trebl.
ing the crop of grass or potatoes. 1t is the
Joy of conquest with no harm done any one
no bloodshed. It is pleasure to have
your work so concentrated and in hand thai
you can avoid much of the worry OF spread
out farming.

The Congressional Nominee and Lit.
tie Henry.

Within the next three weeks the Congress
sional Convention for this district will be
held. Thus far but two pronounced candi-
dates have made their appearance-Hon. w.
D. Hill for denomination, and DR.. J. A.
Wilkins, of Delta. That there will be other
candidates we have no doubts, probably each
of the seven counties in the District will pre-
sent one or two. Should this be SO the con-
vention will be tied on the opening ballots,
and no nomination can be effected.
This probably being the state of affairs, we
wish to put in good word for Little Henry
with its biggest Democratic majority in the
District. If Mr.. Hill is not going to be ac-
corded denomination, than in that event
Henry county, more than any other county
in the district, is entitled to the nominee,
and should have it. This county, we believe,
has never had Congressional candidate
within its history, although it is always look
ed upon for its large and certain majority to
help pull the party through to victory. Last
fall this county gave the largest Democratic
majority of any county in the extreme North
west. This fall we have fair prospect of
materially increasing our vote and majority,
which prospect will be enhanced should
the Congressional nominee come from this
county. We think we can safely pledge fif-
teen hundred majority with candidate from
Henry.
But, let it be distinctly understood, Henry
county will give its undivided support to Mr..
Hill or any other man the nominee of the
Convention. This is no season for petty
party or personal grievances to prevail. Our
Democracy are well satisfied thus far with
11theiHvictory and are determined to do what
it cn towards the complete overthrow of the
Republican party in the nation. A Demo-
crat must be elected from the 9Th District.

The pemocratic Tarifrof 1s4e

Was framed by Rrobert ]. Walker, Secretary
of the Treasury, under President Polk. In
his report December Bird, 1S45, he laid down
six distinct principles upon which his tariff
was to be BASED. And perhaps nowhere in
the tariff histories of the world can system
be found that rests upon rules SO simple, just
and equitable. Those rules were as follows:
That no more money should be collected
than is necessary for the wants of the Govern
ment, economically administered.
That no duty be imposed on any article
above the lowest rate which will yield the
largest amount of revenue.
That below such rate discrimination may
be made descending in the scale of duties; or
for imperative reasons the article may be
placed on the list of those free of all duties.
That the maximum revenue duty should be
imposed on luxuries.
That all minimum and all specific duties
should be abolished, and advalorem duties
substituted in their place, care being taken
to guard against fraudulent invoices and
valuation, and to assess the duty upon
the actual market value of the article.
That the duties should be so imposed as to
operate as equally as possible throughout the
Union, discriminating neither for or against
any class or section.
Mr.. Walker divided his tariff into nine
schedules. These schedules differed from all
former classifcations as there was but one
rate of duty for each schedule, while each
schedule in our present tariff has many diff
erent rates. The classifcations were 100 per
cent, 40 per cent, 80 per cent, 25 per cent, 20
per cent, 0per cent, 5per cent, and free
list.
Under the 100 per cent. duty distilledspirits
and brandy were classed. a.
The 40 per cent. duty was charged on spices,
preserved fruits, cigars, snuff, manufactured
tobacco and wines. -
The 80 per cent. duty was laid on q variety
of manufactured articles, chiefly woolens,
iron, china, and stone ware, manufactures OF
copper, and brass jewelry, manufactures OF
glass, leather, marble, and wood, raw wool,
sugar, and syrup, leaf tobacco, and a few
other articles. rs 'H y
Under the 25 per cent, duty cameaman-
ufacturers of cotton, goat hair, silk, and
| worsted. h.
The 20 per cent. duty was charged on drugs
and chemicals, copper bolts, nails, and
spikes, copper bottoms, and copper in sheets
and plates, fish, fruit, leather, lead in pigs
sheets, pipe and shot, linens, glass, and some
other articles.
! Under the Is per cent. duty came Peruvian
bark, hemp and fax, raw silk, steel, tir
plates, zinc, and spelter, etc.
The 10 per cent. rate comprised books
periodicals, stone, diamonds and other pre-
cious stones, India rubber, watches ant
materials.
The 5 per cent. rate was charged on articles
in the first stages of manufacture.
In the free list the chief articles were tet
and coffee.
Such is the outline of the tariff of 1885,
The object was to charge lesser duty OF
partially manufactured goods, and la highe
rate as they assembled to a state of perfection

~ The passage of the Mexican pension
bill by the Senate practically settles the
question as to the passage of similar bill,
in the future, for the benefit of all soldiers
who served in the late war, or who may serve
in future wars, and reach the age of sixty-two
years.
The Mexican pension bill includes the
surviving widow, provided she has not re-
married, who is or may become sixty-two
years of age.
This is a righteous act. 1t will not help
many persons in proportion to the number
who served, as very large number are tent
ing on the other side. But it will come to
the assistance of good class of the old
Mexican soldiers-the men who have surviv-
ed on account of industry and temperate
habits. Some of them need help. Others dc
not. But, altogether, they deserve this re-
cognition, having added to our National
domain an empire which is now bringing ar
income sufficient to pay the Mexican pen
sions, and which will prove more than suffi'
cient to pay similar pensions to the soldiers
of the late war when the average age Of thu
survivors is go years. In Europe vast sums
of money are given to the support of larg'
standing armies. Here we give the none!
to the disabled and their dependant ones
and to the veterans, as provided for in thu
Mexican pension law, who reach the age o
60 years. We are fortunate, as people, il
being able to give this money to the mel
who stood by the country sin the day ant
