FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
WAYNE TOWNSHIP.

Farmers are about through cutting
wheat, which is well filed but thin on
the ground, especially late Sowing-ear-
lier sowing fair average crop. Oats very
light, corn doing well, hay crop light.
The first rainfall sufficient to wet the
corn roots since May 81, fell on Wednes-
day of last week. We then had a fine
rain, making good tobacco season, and
all who had plants improved the time, and
hence there will be a good half crop
planted.
Wool buyers are out, offering % cents.
and quite number of farmers are let

The Prohibitionists are talking of or
ganizing Fiske Club in this township.
Their number has grown to six, and they
think if properly enthuSed their number
might still increase, especially among
the fair sex.
Every Republican here is more than
well pleased with the doings at Chicago,
while many Democrats say they will not
vote the free trade ticket.
The Republicans here were all for
Sherman, but now that it is all over
they unite in saying it is the strongest
ticket that could have been made, and
the old folks say it will revive the en-
thusiasm of 40. The fire seems to have
already started here, as we heard the
brush cracking as our young men (Club
members at Long Rum on Saturday
night walked to miles to meet their

will soon be organized for drill at Pleas

offset to the red bandana. Itwas natural
that the Republican party seeking a sym.
Dol should turn to the old flag. But fol
this party that flag would now be flying

der which thousands of Republicans died
it is the. flag their children are taught to
love. The adoption of the flag as the party
ensign is fitting and the best thing posi-
bic.
Republicans have been in the habit of
marching to victory under the Stars and
Stripes. They will do the same again next

EVERY working man, farmer, and
business man should now calmly and
dispassionately consider the probable eff.
feet upon the country of the adoption OF
Free Trade, as. practically, advocated by
President Cleveland and his party. The
clacquers for Cleveland are more
interested in getting good offices fol
themselves than in the welfare of the
country-may theoriZe all summer, but
the practical fact remains that this
country has always prospered and bust
ness flourished under a protective tariff
while under revenue tariffs business has
invariably been stagnant, wages low
and employment uncertain.
If Mr. Cleveland is reelected, and a
House of Representatives chosen in
sympathy with his views, the same in
fluences would probably dispose of the
slender Republican majority in the Sen
ate, and the country would be commit
ted to Free Trade. A tariff that does
not protect the industries of the country
against foreign competition is equiva-
lent to Free Trade, call it whatyOu will
Within the life of the next House OF
Representative the business of the cOun-
try may be so fatally crippled that
score of years would not restore it, even
though its policy could be changed at
the close of the next Presidential term
1t behooves every voter, therefore, to
consider carefully and prayerfully his
duty to his country and to his family.
Theories amount to nothing when
in conflict with the practical workings
of laws and the experience of men, and
the sophistries of selfish men in the
presence of a great public peril are a
crime against society. The country to-
day is confronted with dangers scarcely
secondary to the rebellion. We have an
abiding faith that the People appreciate
the calamities that will follow an en-
dorsement of the Cleveland position on
the tariff, and that they can be depended
upon to rescue the country from the
perils that threaten it; but every voter
should take his position at once, and
decidedly, and should make his infu-
ence felt in the struggle for America
and American homes.

4 STRANGE ASSERTION.

The war is over and the Nail does not
believe in making war issues those of to-
day. but when a Democratic newspaper
sees fit to go back to the Cos for subject
comment is allowable.
As many Democrats as Republicans
went into the armies says a morning
contemporary This is an extraordinary
assertion, unless the plural "armies" be
used in the sense of including the COnfed-
crate forces. There were great many
loyal Democrats during the war. The
great masses of the party in the North
became imbued with the spirit of the time
and thousands of its members died on the
battlefield. fighting. not for the stars and
bars, but for the stars and stripes. To say.
however, that as many Democrats as Re
pubGcanS were in the Union army. is to
make a statement as ridiculous as it is
false. Even SuppOsing all Democrats loyal

down to Brick POmerOy were not the cir
cumStanceS of the situation were not such
as to allow them equal representation in
the Union army with Republicans. The
Union army was made up chiefly from the
States which elected Lincoln President.
the States where Democrats were in the
minority. There were not enough of them
in the North TO furnish an equal cOntin-
gent with the opposition.
It's impossible to determine exactly the
relative number of Democrats and Repub-
licans in the Union army, but a tOlerably
close estimate may be had from the soldier
vote when Mcclellan was a candidate
He was then the Democratic soldiers idol,
and would call out the full vote of his
party. At that time. too, Lincoln was not
at his strongest with his own friends
The vote would show, certainly, the full
army strength of the Democracy. 1t
SO chances that the HaU to-day in another
column has to answer a query on this same
subject, and here are the figures showing
how the vote stood for all the States where
it was made possible to distinguish the
ballots:

THE farmer who prefers good home
market for the products of his fields
and to protect his flocks against the
cheap foreign woods, should at once take
his position in the Republican columns
There can be no middle ground, nor can
the issue made by President Cleveland
and his party be avoided.
The farmers and gardeners of Bel
mont county are indebted for the eXcep-
tionally good home markets they enjoy
for the products of their fields and gar
dens to the manufactures built up on
their borders by Protective Tariff
These the Cleveland party proposes to
strike down, and to scatter the thousands
of consumers whom they maintain into
the agricultural districts. The result
would be the home demand for agricul-
tural products would be greatly lessened,
and our producers would be compelled
to find markets abroad Wheeling, Bell
aire, Martins Ferry, Bridgeport, owe
their growth and prosperity wholly, and
Barnesville very largely, to manufacture
ing. These towns contain an aggregate
of $4,000 people, who are consumers of
the field and garden products of this
county. Close the mills, or any consid-
erable number of them, in which so
many of these people are employed, and
what must be the effect upon the mar
kets, and upon the towns in which they
are located? Does any man doubt that
it would be disastrous? Why the anxi-
ETY. of English newspapers, without ex-
ception, for the reelection of President
Cleveland and Democratic House of
Representatives, if English manufactur-
ers viii not be profitsd by it?
This is the time for all friends of
American industries and the nobility of
American labor to stand together in de-
fense of American homes. Take your
stand early, men, and make your influ-
ence felt The humblest man in the ma
tion has some influence, and he must
realize that everything is at stake, as far
as he is concerned in this controversy.
