STATE AUDITOR POE
MAKES AN INTERESTING SHOWING OF
REPUBLICAN SAVINGS.

A Table Showing the Savings to the Tax
Year it VIII Reach Grand Total of
s346, 1s9. 6O-This is RepubIicanism.
In a recent speech at Whitechapel,
in the course Of his remarks, State Aud
itor Poe said:
Eight here want to make a statement
that l think will he of interest to every tax
payer of Ohio, be he Republican, Democrat,
Prohibition or of any other political creed
One of the many good and wholesome acts
of the last Republican general assembly
was the one creating the rate of taxation
for state purposes for the year 1889, upon
every dollar of taxable property returned
for taxation within the state.
The grand duplicate of the state was in
creased last year over that for 1887 in the
amount of s27,0O0,00O. From the returns
already received from county auditors the
indications are that the duplicate of this
year will be further increased over that of
last year at least $40, 900, ,00O Nearly every
county thus far reported, shows a marked
increase over last year, SO that the above
estimate is perfectly safe.
/ want to show to you the amount OF
taxes saved to each county in the state this
year by reason of the reduction of two
tenths of mill made in the levy for state
purposes by Republican legislature.
In doing this l am perfectly safe in taking
the grand duplicate of 1888 as a basis from
which to make my findings, for the reason
as shown above the duplicate of this year is
sure to be greater than that of last year,
and so the figures give will be more than
verified. That is to say. the saving to each
county will be greater than the sub Joined
table will show. The present levy for state
purposes is the lowest since 1910.
The saving by counties is as follows:

READERS of hide-bound Democratic
organs, such as the st. ClaiTSOille Gazette,
can hardly help absorbing the idea that
the changes in the personnel of the post
al service, made by the present admin
istration have been something dreadful
to contemplate on account of their nu
nervousness. 1t is refreshing, therefore,
to find the Democratic New Orleans
Picayune, discussing the matter in a
spirit of fairness in this wise:
President Harrison and Postmaster
General Wanamaker have displayed
much activity making changes in the
personnel of the postal service, and
have been turning out Democrats by the
wholesale; but it must be admitted that
they have displayed unexpected con-
servatism in many quarters where i'm
portant interests are concerned. The
fact remains that some of the principal
post-offices are still in the hands of Dem
ocrats, and there has been exhibited a
tendency to let competent and faithful
officials serve out their terms.
The decided tendency to let compe-
tent and faithful officials serve out their
terms" is commended to such Bourbon
sheets as the Gazette, which is unable to
see anything but CORY heads falling into
the executioner's basket.

THE Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, who began a mud singing cam
paign in his speech accepting the NOM
ination, in recent speech in Cincin-
natl. charged Mr.. Geo. R. Topp, Re-
publican member of the Cincinnati
Board of Public Affairs, with writing an
improper letter to contractor, where
upon Mr.. Topp demanded an investiga-
tlon. On the statement of the CineS7a-
natl Enquirer that he (Topp) was in
sane at the time, and his own acknowI-
edgement to that effect, the matter was
satisfactorily accounted for. But that
no ground might be left for doubt, Gov.
Foraker appointed committee of two
Democrats of high standing, and one
Republican to investigate the matter,
and they called upon Candidate Camp
tel, who was one of the accusers, and
the contractor, who was another, to ap-
pear before their committee, but they
refused to appear or submit any proofs.
1t is true that the committee found Mr.
Topp guilty of writing the letter, and
that he was at the time insane, and he
very properly relieved the State admin
istration of his service by resigning, but
this does not justify the candidate of a
great party in the dirty course which he
pursued in the matter. However, it on
ly shows that the Democracy is getting
down to its usual campaign level of
downright dirtiness.

TARIFF SPEECH IN A NUTSHELL

TARIFF SPEECH IN A NUTSHELL.
Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette.
The other day, while riding through
one of the western counties in company
with General Kennedy, he remarked to
me, pointing to flock of sheep: There
is what, with the soldier vote, elected
Harrison and Republican Congress!"
Few people have any idea of the enor-
nous value of Ohio's sheep industry
There are about 100000 in Ohio. Last
year sheep sold from two dollare to three
dollars, but now as the direct effect of a
Republican national victory in giving
| confidence that the industry will contin-
ue to be encouraged, sheep are scarce at
| from three to five dollars. Ohio raises
22,500,000 pounds of wool, and it is
| bringing five cents pound more than
| it did last year. On the sheep industry
alone the farmers Of Ohio have made
from S7.000,000 to S10.000,000 more than
| they did last year. The Mills. bill pro-
posed to destroy this great industry, and
Candidate Campbell, under party press
| ure, acquiesces. Here is a protective
tariff speech in a nutshell.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-10-17

THE candidate or candidates who en-
play some of the most indolent and worth
less residents of every town in the county
to do what they call work for them should
be defeated There are a lot of political
suckers in this and other towns who can't
control their own vote who pretend to be
able to sway many in their efforts to sell
their own. If they don't receive from the
Republican candidate what they want
they will sell to the Democratic candidate
both their vote and influence. These
worse than hirelings are known and the
candidates who let them alone are the
ones who ought to be supported. Kill
the suckers off.
The above from the Bellaire Indepe1ld-
ent is timely and proper. The bleeding
process by "heelers' in the political par
ties has become disgusting and abso-
lutely unbearable. But this bleeding
operation is not confined simply to ward
and township suckers" but some peo-
pie of alleged distinction and influence,
choose election time as the proper time
to borrow (?) money from candidates,
which they seldom return, but usually
repay the lender with abuse and villiti-
cation. Such people deserve more hero
ic treatment than the every day election
sucker" and the scorn and contempt of
decent men.

A DEEP laid conspiracy to bribe the
jurors in the trial of the prisoners charged
with numbering DIR. Cronin at Chicago
last May, has been unearthed in that
city. The ramifcations of the plot seem
to be widespread and it is claimed that
some of the county officers Including the
judiciary are concerned in it. The court
bailiffs were the instruments of the bri-
berry and as high as five thousand dollars
was offered for single juror. 1t is as
serted that many prominent people are
connected with it and the States Attor-
ney promises some startling revelations.
If it has came to the point that men who
administer justice to criminals can be
corrupted by the wholesale, American
institutions are tottering and on the
verge of falling. No foreign organiza-
tion which resorts to murder and then to
corruption to clear the murderer, as the
Clan-na-Gael is charged with doing,
ought to be allowed to exist in this coun-
try as menace to our liberties, lives and
laws.

A DIG IN THE RIBS.

If ON the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and
delivered, is calculated to evoke profani-
ty from a chappy whose liver is out of
order. When that region is sore and con-
gested, pokes seem fiendish. Look at a
mans countenance ere you prod him un-
der the ribs. If his skin and eyeballs
have sallow tinge, you may infer also
that his tongue is furred, his breath apt
to be sour, that he has pains not only be-
meath his ribs, but also under the right
shoulder-blade. Also, that his bowels are
irregular and his digestion impaired. In
stead of making jocose demonstration
on his ribs, recommend him to take, and
steadily persist i'll takiug, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the finest arti-bilious
and Alternative medicine extant. Incom-
parable is it, also, for dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, nervousness, kidney trouble, and

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

New York Press,
The american Economist has cropped
together certain official figures bearing
on the growth of this country, which are
wonderfully strong evidence of tn, all
round benefits of the protective pdicy.
The average rate of wages in this Qun-
try from 1850 to 1880 increased 4 per
cent. The population of this country
from 1850 to 1880 increased 10 per
cent, with the workers ratio in 1SO As
per cent of the whole, against 81 per
cent. in 1880. The value of our m,nu-
features in 1850 was SI,110,O00,0O0, en-
ploying 95S,004 operatives, with gross
product of S1.105 each, against $685.
100000 in 1880, with 2,733,00O opea-
tives, with gross product each of ST.
045, supporting and educating 1885,
600 of our population, or more than one
quarter of the whole. The wages of
these operatives in 1850 aggregated
S225, 5,000,000 0,averagings255 each, against
1880, $900,000,000 wages paid to 2,735,-
900 operatives, or an average of $3.50 to
each, an increase of $105 per capitS.-
The domestic consumption of domestic
manufactured articles in 1890 was more
than S5,000,000,000; the wages for nan
ufacturing supported more than sne
quarter of the population, instead of up-
porting like number of people, in for
eign countries The States of New
York and New Jersey are large manu-
featuring States, the value of manWae-
lures in these two States being, in 1880,
1885, ,076,9 ,932, with 35,24S,000 acres
area, worth as much money in 1880 as
494, 1897 200 acres area of the lands in
twelve Southern States, all attributed to
the fact that nearly one-fifth of the
manufactures of the United States are
in these two Northern States, while in
1880 in the twelve Southern States the
manufactures were very small. This
shows how the land owner is enriched
by manufactures. The aggregate wealth
of the United States in 1850 was 1920,
100000, with 23,192,000 population.
against 1880, S45,385, 100000 aggregate e
wealth-more than Great Britain-the
