The Voice of the Farmer.

The Republican claim is that the
last presidential campaign was
fought and won on the tariff issue
that Benjamin Harrison was elect
ed as an exponent of the protec-
tion policy, that he owes his cleo
tion to the farmers vote and that
the farmers are protectionists be-
cause protection gives them q
home market.
1t is fact that the farmers were
slower to take up the question of
tariff reform than were the resi-
dents of cities and manufacturing
towns, contrary to all expectation.
The Republican high tariffites adj
dressed themselves mainly to the
workingmen in factories and shops
claiming that the proposed tariff
reductions would lower their
wages or deprive them altogether
of employment. The Democr .tic
tariff reformers endeavored to open
the eyes of the farmers to the fact
that the war tariff made heavy eX-
actions on them and gave them
nothing in return. To the surprise
of both, the tariff reformers made
heavy gains in the manufacturing
cities whilst the Republican high
tariff gains were in the rural COM
munities. The working men in
the shops and factories had been
reading and discussing what they
read with the result of being con-
verted to tariff reform. The farm
ers, having fewer opportunities for
reading and discussion, were slow
er to change.
There are signs that they are
waking up and discovering their
mistake. An agricultural and
stock farming paper, the North
western Farmer and Breeder, pub
lished at Great Falls, M. IT,, and
Fargo, N. d., has begun discus
sion of the tariff for the purpose of
showing "what tariff is, what it
means, how it Is collected, who is
benefited and who is supposed to
derive q benefit"
II is Republican paper and dis
cusses the matter In the interest of
the Republican party, which it
claims now occupies false posi-
tion. The Republican position on
the tariff, it says, "dQes not truly
represent the western idea among
western Republicans" Harrison
owes his election to the Republi-
can party as a party, tariff having
had very little to do with it in the
west. "The farmers of Dakota and
Minnesota, and in fact the farmers
and stockmen of the entire north
west who gave to the states and
territories their Republican ma
jorities, are low tariff men," says
this farmers Journal, with the pos
sible exception of one class, the
wool growers.
The Farmer and Breeder says
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-09-21

vouring! We have thirtyone
thousand masters of the American
Republic, more powerful than even
the landlords of Great Britain. The
last of the property of the country
to pass into their hands was the
improved farms. But these are
going rapidly, while the deluded
tillers of them continue to vote
the trust tickets, for higher taxes
upon themselves and larger "pro-
lection" to their oppressors.
We have now the promise, at
the next session, of revision of
the tax laws, of which the object
shall be the repayment by increas-
ed bounties of the monopolists who
furnished the money to defeat the
friends of the people.
The thirty-one thousand masters
of the American people do not
deem it in the least necessary to
conceal their purposes or their
proceeding in furtherance of
them. They boldly set them
selves apart from other men.
They organize themselves sep
erately. They have no vulgar
association with the common herd
of their own voters, but appear to
place supreme reliance upon the
power of money. These millioniares
come together in Home Market
clubs, and Manufacturers clubs,
and, in this capacity, inhabit mag
niflcent palaces where they plot
for the "protection of American in
dustry." They have permanent
national organization called the
American Tariff League, in which
monopolists and booklers, worth
anywhere from a quarter of
million to fifty millions, are eligi-
bic to membership. They determ-
inc how far they will honor the
drafts of political managers like
Dudley and Quay, and the thing is
done then and there. They hire
talent; they keep up their crusade
all the year round for the benefit
of their own capacious pockets.
How long can this 60 on? 1t is
merely a question of time when
the privileged few must be check
ed by a reform in the laws which
have created them a class apart, or
the republic must come to an end
The fate predicted by Mr.. Van
Buren, will inevitably overUake the
business aristocracy of this country
unless it shall, in a very short time
agree to a material modification
of the system under which it has
to draw to itself the bulk
of the wealth of the Union, and to
leave the producing masses in un-
certainty and distress.-N. Y. Sat

The Platform,

1. The Democracy of Ohio, in con
vention assembled, approve the
declaration of principles made by
the National Democracy in st
Louis, in 1888, and especially that
part of it demanding reduction OF
tariff taxes. We will continue the
battle for tariff reform until the
cause of the people is triumphant
3. We regard trusts, in whatever
form organized, as the Legitimate
result of our present tariff system
and we demand the repeal of all
tariff taxes that enable them to ex-
tort from the people exorbitant
prices for the products they con-
troll.
3. We again acknowledge the
great debt of gratitude the nation
owes to the heroes of the late war,
and we declare in favor of just, lib
eral, and equitable pension laws.
4. We denounce the Republican
administration for its repeated
violation of it's pledges in behalf of
civil service reform.
5. We denounce the present
State administration as the most
partisan, demoralizing and extra
VACANT in our history. We invite
the careful investigation of all citi-
zens into our financial affairs as
shown by the official records.
6. We protest against the repeat
ed enactment of laws vesting the
appointing power in the governor,
enabling him to control the local
boards of our leading cities. While
depriving them ofself-government,
it constructs vast political ma
chine that is at all times danger
Gus, and in the hands of partisan
chief executive has become posi-
tive menace to the people of the
State.
7. The nomination of the COVER
nor of Ohio for third term, in vio-
lation of all precedent, by the no.
tOrious and disgraceful use of pat
ronage at his command, is an out
rage against the people and should
be rebuked at the polls. We hearth
ly favor home rule in Ireland. We
demand it also for Ohio. While
favOring all laws that sacredly pro-
tect the ballot box and the honest
voter, we demand the enactment
of laws that will enable cities to
choose their own servants and con-
troll their own affairs.

Gen GrosyenOr's Opinion of James E.
Campbell-.As expressed in His
Xenia Speech.

In referring to the Democratic
candidate General Grosvenor said
81 shall not be found criticizing the
able and gallant gentleman the
Democratic party has seen fit to
nominate, at least, SO far as his
personal character and relations
are concerned. That he is a gentle
man of high character, pure pat
riotism and high order of intelli-
gence, answering honesty and
fidelity, is to be presumed because
of his nomination.
HE WAS PATRIOTIC IN WAR.
He has been able and consistent in
peace, and is true representative
of his party in Ohio-better in some
respects, worse in none-and my
compliment against him is not of
personal character, but is solely
and simply because he is a Demo-
crat.
~ may as well make a few re-
marks about our friend Campbell.
You know him over here in Xenia.
He was Representative in Con-
gress at one time, and he did not
make bad record.
"Upon every question in which
the soldier was interested he voted
as 1 voted, and l claim to have a
pretty good standing as friend to
the soldiers of the war. Side by
side with me he voted for the De-
pendent Pension bill; side by side
with me he voted for all the meas
ures of relief for the soldiers which
the Republicans forced upon them,
and hand in hand with me he vot-
ed to pass the bill over the
VETO OF MIR. CLEVELAND.
But / protest that the Democratic
party has shown itself capable of
improvement, and exhibited the
possibility of its ability to appreci-
ate patriotism, honor and virtue by
nominating it's candidate for Gov
ernor, and in the discussions in
which 1 participate during the
campaign i shall treat Mr.. Camp
bell as a gentleman, as / know him
to be; shall criticise his attitude in
politics, and shall scorn to attack
his personal character or history"

To the attention of the stock growers we
commend the following extract from a
speech by the Hon. w. l.. Black, one of the
most successful of the stock men of the
nation, delivered before the Stockmen's con-
vention, held in May, at San Angelo, Texas,
in reference to the attitude of the tariff to
the incidental or by-products of live stock,
such as hides, horns, hOofs, blood, bones,
bladders, hair etc., "These" he said 'are
now all on the free list, while the manufac-
by tariff of from Is to so per cent. ad
valorem. This is not only wrong in princi-
pie, but is positive injustice to nearly one
half the population of the United States,
who are dependent upon agriculture for
support. II think every one familiar with
the subject will admit that live stock is the
chief source of profit i'm almost every far
mer's business. 1t would seem to be wise
policy on the part of our government if the
producers of live stock were permitted to
enjoy evey advantage from their industry
that is possible, for it naturally follows If
they can be fairly remunerated by the sale
of by-products. it will have tendency to
cheaper meat. Let us ask Congress to put
stop to the importation of foreign hides,
horns, hair, blood, bladders, hoofs and
other by-products of our industry, for.we
are producing more than suffciency to
meet all the legitimate wants of our people,"

democratic districts, therefore, dangerous to
touch with free trade reform, and inclined
to revolt. Once the democratic party was
wont to declare and repeat that ''the execu-
tive power had increased, was increasing,
and ought to be diminished" but in spite of
President Cleveland's many and frantic
vetoes; in spite of his depositlng sixty mill
ions of public money In pet banks without
interest and without law; in spite of his ap-
pointments, without the advice and consent
of the state, of ministers (min,ts the title)
to negotiate treaties; i'm spite of his attempts
to govern Congress by giving or Withholding
executive fayors in order to effect the repeal
of all duties on wool and to prevent the re-
peal of the internal tax on tobacco, the
party made no protest against the undue
exercise of extraordinary executive power,
which seems to have reached a growth not
less colossal than that under the admins
tration of General Jackson, when Calhoun
denounced the democratic party as bound
together ''by the cohesive power of public
plumber" To secure reelection, besides
his reported financial contribution the Pres
ident set forth in his annual message his
free trade political sentiments, which, had
they been previously known, would UNI
doubleday have defeated his first election.

The Democratic Party Of Today.

Senator Justin s. Morrill,. Of Vermont,
cratic party of today in the following favor
able languages:
THE democratic party in earlier days
had some fixed principles, everywhere OPEN
ly proclaimed; but it has none now save
whatever its national conventions elaborate
to fit such presidential candidates as Gree
ley, Hancock, or Cleveland, and subject to
quadrennial clange and mystifcation.
Once States rights and the resolutions of
'9S" were in the forefront of the democratic
creed; but all this has vanished, and no one
now pretends to fear national invasion of
the rights of any state. Another ringing
article of their creed was hard money, Ben
tOnian gold, instead of paper money, which
they denounced as being made only of rags
and lamp-black;" strange to say, there is
hardly anything now that can be invented
for circulation too cheap or too soft and
rickety for the major part of the party.
The time has been when the party was wont
to denounce all internal improvement as I'M
constitutional; but now no appropriations
for such works appear too extrvagant to
find elastic support in democratic house of
representatives. The party once claimed
as its patent of superiority the equal rights
and privileges of all men; but in eleven
states such rights and privileges are denied
and refused to millions of American citizens
by those who masquerade and aim to DOM
nate under the name of the democratic par
ty. The party, forgetting that 1t is itself.

an order he recently issued overriding the

Detroit Journal: Sergt. Evans, speaking
Saturday concerning the cause of the many
recent thunder storms and cloudbursts,
said:
1.-The storms are due to the depressed con-
diton of the atmosphere in the lake
regions. In the storm center the air Is
warm and moist and when the cold air
comes in contact with it the heavy pressure
produces the downpour proportiOnate to the
amount of water contained in the clouds.
The probability is that around Detroit there
will be several days of clear weather, after
which heavy showers may be expected.
Most of the storms move this way from Mon
tana and Dakota and extended as far east
as the middle states.'
