Spitted on the Fork of Fact.

BY and easy transition the
Campaign Liar has become the
Campaign Forger. A campaign
card uttered by the Republican
Club of New York contains the
following quotations:
The only time England can use
an Irishman is when he emigrates
to America and votes for free
trade.-London Times.
Grover Cleveland has done more
to advance the cause of free trade
than any Prime Minister Of Eng
land.-LOndon Spectator.
OF course, these alleged quota
tions bear the marks of a clumsy
forgery on their face. Mr.. Everett
P. Wheeler, the eminent lawyer of
New York, defies the Republican
Club to produce the newspapers
containing these pretended ex-
tracts, and the club can't do it.
Rut the club in question dod not
originally utter these forgeries.
They made their first appearance
in tariff organs with pretensions to
decency and respectabiltty. Akin
to these forgeries is the alleged
quot ,tion from the London Iron
Era, to the effect that Lord Brassy
had subscribed $4,000 "to the fund
which the Golden Club is raising
to further the free-trade campaign
in the United States" Forgery,
falsehood and corruption appear to
be the only weapons in tire arsenal
of Tariff Robbery.-Philadelph lphia

cratic ticket and will hereafter
pose as an Independent sheet in
politics. In doing this the pro.
prietors sacrifice no principle. So
far as proprietorship goes it has al.
ways been Republican. We deem
this good time to suggest to our
Democratic friends in the Capital
to organize a new paper which will
make a Democratic fight for
principle and not for pelf. Until
such action is taken we have but
little hope of Democratic paper
succeeding in the Capital City OF
Ohio.

THE Prohibitionists are waginj

THE Prohibitionists are waging
a more energetic campaign this
year than they ever waged at any
past time since they formed poll
cal party. We hear of their cam
paign meetings in the cities and
rural regions of nearly all the
States of the Union. We notice
the reports of the speeches of their
orators, who seem be afiame with
unquenchable zeal. We infer from
a perusal of the Prohibition organs
that the cause has become more
powerful than it ever was before
in some of the Republican States,
such as Iowa, Kansas, Michigan
and New Hampshire. They boast
that they will poll at least twice as
heavy in the country at large this
year for their Presidential candi-
date as they polled four years ago,
and that, in some States, they have
defeated the party which, without
their opposition, would be success
full. 1T is worth while for politicians
especially for Republican politi-
clans, to keep an eye on the Pro-
hibition movement.

THOUGH statistics show that the
annual income of wealth from the
product of agriculture is less than
three per cent. of the capital used,
yet there are hundreds and thous-
ands of farmers all over The coun-
try who are foolish enough t inn
agine that they can lift mortgages
on their land on which they have
to pay all the way from s to 12 per
cent. This foolish belief is what is
annually turning over farms in
Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and
other states, to the usurers of the
East. The farms of Indiana, alone
are mortgaged to the amount of
$39S,000,000. This enormous load
can neither be borne nor paid un-
der a tariff that robs the farmer of
a third of his income. He should
protect himself by voting that the
benefits of free government should
be equitably distributed to all peo-
ple,

bitter denunciation, both in and

Free Whisky.

From the abuse of whiskey comes
intemperance, dragging men and
women down into misery, british
ness and crime. Dram houses fill
our prisons with criminals, from
the common thief all along the
path of evil doing to wife-beating
and cold blooded murder. 1t makes
tramps of once respectable men.
The earnest patriotic man should
read calmly and reflect earnestly
over this subject.
Whisky may be sold as low as Is
cents per gallon if no restriction is
placed upon it.
Is not Is cent whisky to be dread
ed as one of the most fearful calam-
tiles that could overtake a nation ?
Infiamed passions; insanity; crime ;
murder and anarchy, may be the
legimate outgrowth of making
whiskey nearly as cheap as water.

A Lost Landmark.

On Tuesday last two worthy and
high officials of a certain society
made an official visit to South
Perry, and not being well acquaint-
ed with the sineous windings of
the road they kept bright look
out for landmarks by which re-
turn progress might be marked.
From our most reliable advices
from that locality the two gentle
men were much worried, on their
return, by their failure to find a
haystack which had evidently been
selected as one of the aforesaid
landmarks. So necessary did its
discovery appear to their peace of
mind that they, when a consider
able distance on their way, serious
ly discussed the necessity Of re-
turning and making more minute
search for the missing landmark.
What worries us is the question.
How in the darkness and doubt
they could distinguish one hay
stack from another, and why was
the discovery of this particular
hay-stack so essential to the pill
grimsp
Did they find 1t? We suppose they
did as they arrived at Logan at an
early hour and traces of hayseed
was visible about theft mouths.

The Republican Policy.

The Republican party is in favor
of reducing the surplus. How +?
Why in a variety of ways.
Here are some of their methods
by which their preposterous plat
form proposes to deplete the treas
ury:
Take the taxes from tobocco,
which now amount to the fraction
of o cent on each cigar, and yield
100000 a year to the treasury.
2 Reduce the revenue now de-
rived from alcoholic spirits.
3 Having thus lifted taxation
from the luxuries, crowd it on still
heavier upon the necessaries, until

Why the Carpet Industry is "Corner.
pd,>

There is something to be learned
from the shut down of the Biglow
carpet works at Worcester. Nearly
every pound of wool used in the
factory has to be imported, and
tariff taxes of 25 per cent. or more
paid upon it, which the Govern
ment does not need. How can any
industry prosper with it's opera
tions burdened and restricted by
heavy taxes on the raw material
AS a result our carpet manufac-
turers are cornered up and obliged
to shut down every now and then
from Il scarcity of work. They eX-
port yearly the insignificant
amount of about $4,000 or $4,000
worth of carpets. Our cotton man.
ufacturers, with free raw material,
export $lO,OOO,OOO worth of product
a year; our leather manufacturers,
with free bihes, also export $40, 900,
600 year; but our woolen manu-
facturers, with taxed wool, export
the pittance of $5OO,OOO in product
a year.-Sprin9feld (Mass.) Re

the poor people shall be utterly un-
able to pay for imported goods, and
must perforce buy the products of
the trusts at whatever extortion-
ate price these rings that corner
the peoples supplies may demand.
This will effectully stop the stream
Of wealth that is flowing from the
pockets of the people into the treas
ury vaults, and turn the stream in
to the Golfers of the trusts instead.
4 If the surplus still remains,
make whisky free, but on no ac-
count reduce the taxes on the raw
material of the peoples coat and
trousers and blankets.
8 Squander the revenues in ev-
cry possible way. Spend anywhere
from $1,OOO,OOO to $5,OOO,OOO for forts
and war ships that invention will
have made useless before they are
finished, Give pension to all who
ask for it, whether genuine SOL
diers or "dead BEATS" Pass mon
strous river and harbor jobs.
Subsidize shipbuilders, while ruin
ing our merchant marine by unjust
laws. The postal service is not
self-sustaining now, but no matter;
reduce postage to one cent in order
to cause still greater deficiency.
Draw on the national treasury for
the expenses of common school ed
ucation, which are now met bp the
States and towns.
In short do everything that will
cost money, but on no account re-
duce the peoples taxes. 1t is a
wonder that the convention did
not demand that all salaries of
government officers, from Presi-
dent down, be doubled. Probably
it would have done so had it seen
any prospect of filling the offices
with Republicans.
This is the programme of oppres-
sive taxation and wasteful expen-
diture with which the party of the
opposition appeals to the country.
The Republican organization is in
it's dotage. Time was when Re-
publican leaders were too level
headed to commit the party to any
such foolish policy.
