gagged in Improbable Industries.
If the foregoing be true, it strikes
directly at any and all subsidies,
no matter to whom, or under what
circumstances the payment is pro-
posed.
Very nearly akin to subsidies is
the system of indirect taxation or
tariff, so much favored and so loud
ly praised by statesmen of Repub-
lican persuation.
Whenever the tariff rate Is plac-
ed so high upon any article of con-
sumption as to materially increase
the cost of importation, its direct
result is to raise the price of like
articles of domestic manufacture
and in proportionate degree in
crease the profits of the domestic
producer. On this result rests the
whole theory of protection.
Therefore if it be Improbable to
produce any article of general con-
sumption, in this country in COM
petition with like products of other
countries, all that is necessary is to
place such a rate of tariff upon the
article as to prohibit its importa-
tion, or so increase its cost as will
permit its production, at home, at
a profit.
1t will now plainly appear that
if the rate be- placed so high that
large profits may be gathered by
the home producer or manufact-
urer, and the foreign article be still
Gas is now the case with

in the nature of subsidy and a
charge upon every other industry
of the land in which the consumers
of the protected article are engag-
ed, thus increasing their toll and
their profits without cor
benefit.

Roasted.
The Father of his Country, and The
Ohio Governor i'm Contrast.

Gen John Beatty, of Columbus, is
staunch Republican, good Ora.
tor, and one never lacking good
strong English language in which
to express his sentiments and opin.
ions.
On July 4th the General made a
speech at a G. a. r. picnic, near
Columbus. in which he contrased
Gen. Washington and Foraker as
follows:
When Washington, in his fare
well address, announced that he
was not Il candidate for reelection,
the people of his day and genera
ton knew just exactly what he
meant; they knew that he could
not be guilty of duplicity; that he
would not encourage his friends to
seckwhat he wasadroitly intriguing
to obtain for himself. They knew
that his appointees and personal
friends were not, with his consent,
busily at work setting up primaries
and caucuses with a view of Sc
curing his reelection and their own
continuance in the public service.
In brief, they knew he didn't lie.
Modest, wise, brave, courteous,
truthful, solid, he was the foremost
gentleman of the republic-the one
grand, conspicuous figure of the
century to whom all eyes turned
with reverence and affection
What our modern statesmen lack
in strength and dignity has to
some extent been made up to them
in other qualities. Nature may
always be relied upon to compen-
safe for IL deficit in one line by
surplus in another; and so we find
that creatures with short heads
usually have long tails, and that
statesmen who have not an ounce
of common sense are provided with
tons of self-cconceit. To Illustrate:
Not long since business man of
Columbus had occasion to call at
the Office of prominent and sue
cessful politician. He found the
servant of the well known official
putting Photographic cards into
envelopes for distribution through
the mail, and on these cards, side
by side, as photographers and en-
gravers sometimes represent
George and Martha, were the pic
lures of Washington and this Ohio
statesman. Now, it might not be
entirely fair, perhaps, to affirm that
that it was pure egotism, unadul-
terated with common sense, viii ch

for 1t is barely possible he intended
simply to teach his countrymen a
wholesome lesson in morals by en-
abling them to see at glance the
picture of a man who couldn't tell
q lie and that of one that could.
If this was his purpose we should
hold him to be public benefactor,
for nothing could present more
forcibly than that double faced
photograph the immensity of the
distance which intervenes between
between q statesman and dema-
gogue. If, however, and this is the
more reasonable conjecture, it was
this Ohio statesman's intention to
make the world believe that he
and George were twins, the scheme
was a great one, but one not likely
at this time, to be crowned with
unbounded success.
In the old time it was the rule
to insist upon honest and faithful
service in all departments of the
state and general government.
Our fathers had just declared their
independence of n country where
lords, dukes, earls and their de-
pendants were carried on official
rolls and paid from the public
treasury, without being required
to make any adequate return in la
Dor. The fathers regarded this as
a robbery of the industrious poor,
for the benefit of the idle and pro-
fligate rich, and hence condemned
it. They were right, and yet the
same unjust discrimination in
favor of wealth and political in
fluence is being made today in
Ohio. Many incidents could be
cited in proof of this, but notably y
case where an able bodied young
man is carried upon the payroll at
81 800 per annum, with not only
no labor, but does not find it nee
cessary even to make regular
visits to the office where he is
ostensibly employed. He is the
protege of an influential party
worker-a man who wields great
influence in nominating conven-
ions, and for this is billeted on the
public treasury.

Direct or Indirect Taxation.

The substantial difference be-
tween the two systems of taxation
is that the first is levied upon the
wealth of the Country, and the lat
ter upon the labor.
Another difference is that in the
case of direct taxation every step
from its levy until its collection
and expenditure is open to inspec-
ton by all parties atinterest, while
the system of indirect, or tariff
taxes, everything is indefinite and
indeterminate.
We can see some reason for the
rulers of empires and Kingdoms to
wish to conceal the amount of tax
es paid by each subject for the sup
port of the government and Royal
family, but why government that
glories in the boast that every cit
izen is a sovereign, should wish to
conceal its methods is past our
comprehension.
The idea that the souerign should
wish to conceal from himself the
amount of his contribution toward
the expenses of the government
seems too silly for argument.

The Gubernatorial Contest in Ohio

ihe GuDernatOrlal contest IN ONO
One of the most prominent and
promising Democratic candidates
for Governor of Ohio is the Hon
Lawrence II. Neal, of Ross county
Mr.. Neal, who is enthusiastically
and unanimously supported by his
Democratic neighbors, possesses in
high degree the requisite qualifi.
cations for the candidacy, as well
as for the position. He served in
the Forty-third and Forty-fourth
Congresses with ability and credit
and during his entire public SER
vice he has been an unwavering
advocate of Tariff Reform. In a
recent letter to the Young Mems
Democratic Club of Cincinnati he
said:
"a tariff which has protection
for its object and revenue as an in
cident is wrong, radically wrong,
and utterly indefensible upon any
acknowledged principle ofpolitical
economy, or of equity and Justice;
and such tariff ought not to be,
and must not be, maintained"
The Democrats of Ross county,
in unanimously presenting the
name of Mr.. Neal for Governor,
declared:
"That we do here record our un-
compromising opposition to the
Republican system of protection,
which is masterpiece of injustice,
inequality, deception and oppres-
sion, and demand that our State
Convention shall unqualifledly de-
clare in its platform for revision
and reduction Of the tariff, and
squarely and unequivocally indorse
the action of the st. Louis Conven-
tion upon the question of Tariff
and Revenue Reform"
With such a proposed candidate
and with such declarations of
principles it is evident that the
cause Of Tariff Reform has taken
no step backward in Ohio.-Phila

The year 1889, so far, mas Deen Q
year of extremes. During the win
ter months at it's beginning, the
weather was unusually mild, and
the;spring months were unusually
inclement. Nature, as u rule, has
run to the opposite extreme during
the season, and the summer has
been marked with spells of eX-
treme heat, to be followed by an
unseasonably low temperature.
The rainfall has been unusual at
at times and the extreme was
reached in the most unexpected
and destructive floods of which we
have any record in the history of
the continent. Business, trade and
commerce seemed to have follow
ed the example of nature and we
are almost at the extreme of de-
preston that presages disaster for
the future. A year which the false
and foolish prophets told us was to
be so full of plenty and prosperity
is now ON the wane and the losses
of the people, especially the agri-
culturists are waning with it.
Labor, too, is falling into partial
or complete idleness in many
branches and must put up with re-
duced earnings in all others. The
only thing that holds its own or in
creases is the tax upon the necess-
tiles of life which the millions
must have. And now the extreme
becomes more obvious every day.

Why didn't you prove it and

the State over, and being unable
to make case turned it over to

Senate promptly threw it out of
court. And still the Republican
organs claim that the twice-defunct
thing is their chief living issue.

there is no uniformity of opinion
on the subject. The opponents of
trusts are, of course numerous.
And their chief argument, that of
monopoly and the exactions likely
to follow in the train of trusts, is,
no doubt, IA forcible one. On the
other hand, the investing class
look upon trusts, if conducted with
in reasonable bounds and OH sound
