A PATHETIC WHINE.

Squeezing Ohio Office Holders.

Chairman Townsend of the Democratic
State Committee Says the Cleveland Leader
has written the fifth of his series of pathetic
appeals for Doodle to lubricate the dry joints
of the Democratic campaign. In general it
rehashes with sickly whine the slush that
Townsend seems TO deem necessary adjunct
to every begging letter, and concludes by
saying:
''Our daily wants drive US To appeal TO
every lover of good government. / submit
to you, can you not find ii possible in your
limited means to forward TO me at Columbus
81: II not send US whatever you feel able
to donate, and thus strengthen the cause of
Democracy and tariff reform"
These letters are being mailed to laborers,
merchants and millionares, but principally
the former. Townsend has gone into this
thing hoping for ultimate political gain to
himself and his partner, Brice. and be wants
those who can least afford it, as well as those
that are abundantly able TO contribute toward
creating future good thing for the firm of
Brice & Townsend.
He Is not receiving many contributions,
however, from these sources. There are a
great many Democrats in Ohio who are going
to vote the Republican ticket and great
many more who understand that this is los
ing year for the Bourbon party and are too
cautious to be caught playing gudgeon TO
Townsend's bait. Still Mr.. Townsend has
received a good deal of money in one way
and another in this campaign, and as the party
pocketbook is in chronic state of collapse
it is an open question what has become of it
all.

There is probably no State in the Uuion
where the friends of Temperance are more
numerous and influential than in the great
State of Iowa. They stand firm against
all attempts to divert them by side issues
and fractional proceedings. The Woman :
Christian Temperance Union of that State
declines to be inundated in the interest of
Third Party Prohibition. At the State
convention at Des Moines, last week. a
memorial was adopted petitioning the
National Union to reeede from its posi-
ton identifying it with political party,
and denouncing the devotion of the time
of officers paid for by TIE Union to the in
terests of a party. Their courseis worthy
of being followed by all the true friends
of Temperance in Maine and Massachu-
sets.

A WArninR.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable that
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with promptness ;
allowing a cold to go without attention is
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschee's German Syrnp. 1t will
give YOU immediate relief

How Things Look in the Hoosier
State.

indianapolis Despatch to Chicago Tribune !
General Harrison attended the meeting of
the Republican State Central Committee, to-
day. The plan of campaign in each of the
thirteen Congressional districts was described
and the reports of progress were made in the
Generals presence. 1t was shown that of
the 6000 Greenbackers who held to their
party four years ago none now remain.
They have no ticket and will make no effort
to poll vote. As many as 100 of these
people have returned to the Republican party
in single county. They express their salts
faction with the Republican position. In
their opinion the Democratic adherence to
Free Trade will result in severe contrac-
ton of the currency, to the serious detri-
ment of the debtor class The reports pre-
scented today also show great gains from the
old soldiers and the Prohibition elements. II
is now a well-established fact that the Pro-
hibition principle has lost adherents steadily
since the Republican State Convention
Carefully made estimates give the Republi-
cans 6 1000 of the 1000 Prohibition votes cast
two years ago. An equally gratifying con-
dition is to be found among the old soldiers.
President Cleveland's veioes have hurt him
in this State. The veterans say it is the tone
of the Wanted messages that they object to
rather than anything else connected with
them. General Harrison expressed his COM
plete satisfaction. The indications are that
the Republican plurality may reach $4,000
The gain of one or two congressman is also
assured.

Taxation in England.

The Westminster Review recently pointed
ont how shamefully the working people were
taxed in England by the local authorities.
The man in England who earns s5 and Sc
per week has to pay four per cent of his en-
tire income for local taxation How much
does the American laborer earning this
amount pay. Here are the facts. as stated
by the Westminster Review:
1t will be convenient to take the case of a
workingman earning twenty-five shillings a
week, paying ifth-iye shillings week
for rent and a fifth of that-one shilling a
week-for local taxation; he pays four per
cent of his income in local taxation; proba-
bly, there are workingmen paying less than a
majority of cases the rates amount TO more
than fifth of the rent, the result will be
about as estimated. Ii is not necessary TO
discuss the question whether the rent paid BY
the workingman does in fact include the full
amount of the rates; it could be proved that
it includes more than the full amount.
How, then, does all this work out? Let
the figures which we borrow from the Review
answer:
Working classes, per cent; lower middle
classes, 3 per cent: tradesmen from 2 l-2 to
10 per cent; the wealthy classes. from under
I-2 to per cent.

DEMOCRACY MEANS FREE
TRADE.
A Southern Paper States the Case

A paragraph aseribed to the Memphis Ap
peal (Dem.) of August states the Demo
cratic free trade doctrine as follows:
I'VE lay down concisely, and we trust
clearly, the Democratic doctrine of free
trade, which is as old as the birth of the
party. The Democratic party was Away,
known as the party that strictly construed
the Constitution, and was therefore opposed
to the levy OF collection of tax for any
other purpose than the support of the Gov
eminent, and was equally rigidly opposed tc
the appropriation of public moneys for any
other purpose, its motive in its first and mos
notable campaign being free trade and sail
ors' rights The doubtful States have long
been familiar with the fact that the Demo
cratic party is the free trade party, and they
know that any attempt to reconcile il TO pro
lection in any form, shape, character OIL
degree would be an abandonment of principle
that would and of right ought to cover il
With obloquy aud disgrace"
This is logical, brief, and explicit The
Democratic party, which is primarily devot
ed to the doctrine Of a strict construction OF
the Constitution, must in consistency deny
the legality Of defensive duties and affirm
that protection is unconstitutional The
Democratic party so long as it maintains it'
traditional character must favor tariff fol-
revenue only and oppose the principle OF
protection itself az wrong. Mr.. Cleveland
advanced this do~rine in his recent letter
when he contended that protective duty
certainly and inevitably violated what he es-
teens the first principle of just taxation
viz; tie exaction only of the amount OF
money needed for the support of The Gov
eminent and actually paid into the Treasury
The Democratic doctrine cannot tolerate
duties adjusted to secure profits to home
capital and high wages to American labor as
well as revenues for the public treasury
As the Memphis Appeal says, the Democrat
ic doctrine of tariff for revenue only cannot
be reconciled with protection in any form
shape, character or degree"

Tho Bourbon Democrats OF the South
Always for Free Trade.

Precisely as in pro-slavery days, and as
they provided in the Constitution of their
0nfederacy, the Southern'Democrats are
for Free Trade. Two strong influences
tend to hold them to Free Trade opinions.
The teachings of John G.. Calhoun and
power over them. At times they may
geek to conceal their real opinions and to
mask their designs as they did often their
secession proclivitiss before the war. But
dogmas and mean to break down Protec-
ton in this country in the end. The evil
dsnces of this are strong and conclusive.
"Senator John I. Morgan, of Alabama,
In 1879, In speech in the Senate, said
substantially that he opposed protection
because il increased the wages of labor;
that he wanted cheap labor for the cotton
folds of the South. That protection cost
each cotton planter twenty-five cents 4
day per laborer more than it otherwise
would. That he regarded the mineral
wealth and industrial development of Ala
bsms doubtful blessings. In view of these
facts how can any candid mind doubt that
Free Trade is the purpose of Southern
Democracy, and as such the policy of the
Democratic partyg
"For as soon as the Southern leaders
again got control of that party after the
war it was proclaimed that the tariff was
local and NOT national issue. Next
tariff for revenue was demanded. Then
a tariff for revenue only, with incidental
protection Now they make the unctious
demand for tariff reform Ii is thus
pAain that the ambition of the Southern
leaders is now, as before secession. the
spoils of power, the creation of a govern
ing class, the pauperization of labor, the
establishment of a system of agricultural
psonage and the encouragement of sec
tionalism. For these objects the South,
BY fraud and intimidation, has been solid
flied. The next step in this programme
is to control, by the aid of Northern Dem
ocracy, the Government, rs effeetually
now as before secession. To repossess
themselves of everything except slavery,
that was lost by war: cut the locks of
Northern strength: establish Free Trade
that the South, by reason of the wealth
of its cotton, the great staple of exporta
ton, may again be firmly put in the sad
de"
Roger Q. Mills is thorough believer in
Free Trade, and his bill goes as far in that
direction as he deems it safe to go at the
frss step. He and those acting with him
want strictly revenue tariff, allowing
manufactures and labor to take their
chances. He who does not see this is HIM
self deceived, oris trying to deceive others.

Those who really understand the intel
lectual and moral makeup of Carl Schurz,
have no reason to be disappointed that
he now gives his limited degree of infiu-
ence to the Democratic party. He is a cold
abstractiouist. with no genuine American
ism, and in politics very much of Hes
sian. Four years since he and other
Mugwumps supported MIR. Cleveland on
the strength of his pledges of reform.
Now Mr.. Schurs cody admits that the
President has not kept those pledges. but
he states that he nevertheless proposes to
vote for him because he has declared war
on the protective tariff. When Mr..
Schurz hereafter processes any interest
in the advancement of civil service re-
form he will have 10 excuse the Ameri-
can people for declining to take him
seriously. His knowledge of New York
Democratic politics is enough to teach
Schurz that Cleveland is pretentious
demagogue of low type. whom the
former affected to rebuke for his $1,000
check in aid of Fellows election, but
whom he now supports because this SOL
der of fortune has no inducement to
support anybody else.
