counts of disafection and general
breaking up OF the alliance for
months past, but somehow every re-
port received from official sources
shows a constant and rapid increase
in membership in all parts OF the
state. Republican papers would save
themselves q great amount Of unnec-
essary labor if they would keep the
order broken up when they get it
accomplished and not have to break
it up over again every day in the

unnecessary energy expended in this
breaking up Of the alliance that might
be utilized in clearing up the alleged
connection Of the republican party
with the Cofeyville dynamite plot Of
1888.

OuITE A DIPFERENCE


We desire our readers TO observe
one peculiarity that characteristics the
reports Of current events as they ap-
pear in the Capital and as they ap-
pear in The ADVOCATE. The items
appearing in Che Capital are headed
Special 10 the Capital" Who fur
nishes these ltemsl No one outside
Of the Capital Office knows, and the
chances are that the bulk Of them are
manufactured in the Office, TO meet
the necessities that are seen 10 exist.
At all events, they are without re-
sponsibility, and the parties who fur
nish them evidently prefer not TO be
known whore they live Take for
instance, the report of the joint dis
cussion between Simpson and Prince
Hallowell at Larned. OF course II
would not do to fail TO announce the
result Of that discussion as a triumph
for Hallowell, and a Special to the
Capitap announces such triumph
with significant headlines; but who
sent that specials Evidently the per-
son who sent it prefers not TO stake
his reputation on it at Larned. How
is it with the report to THE ADvooATEi
The man who sends it is not ashamed
Of it. He signs his name in a bold
hand, and this feature will be OBJ
served to distinguish oil Of the re-
ports Of current political events all
over the state. Our reporters are re-
sponsible for what they say, and are
willing to stake their reputation on il

AT this time when there is 80 much
of falsehood and 30 much Of uncalled-
for assault upon the character and
the motives OF men who become can
didates for Office, it is peculiarly graf
flying to find an occasional example
OF honesty Of political opponents; and
an example of this kind worthy Of
especial notice at this time is found
in the Sterling Gazette. The Gazette
is opposed to Mr.. Ives politically and
what it says Of him is simply a matter
of justice TO him as a man and a citi-
zen. 1t is in happy contrast with the
republican press in general.
We desire to add that Mr.. Ives
sought no endorsement of the WiCh-
ita convention, made no pledges, and
is to-day absolutely free from any
obligations which his endorsement
might seem to imply. When con-
suited upon the question Of his en-
dorsement he stated emphatically
that he had accepted the nomination
Of the peoples party, that he en-
dorsed its platform, that he Consid-
cred himself the peoples candidate
and should support the peoples ticket
from top to bottom. If he is elected
Gas he will be) hewill do his duty in
accordance with his oath Of office,

honest man can do no more nor less
than this. His Office will not be used
to bolster up his political for
tunes and his policy will not be
varied to suit different local-
ties for this purpose, He will have
but one policy for the entire state,
and that will be to do his duty like
an honest man. Read the following

The prices for any other year dur

compared with any other year after
contraction had done its deadly work,
will show like results.
But the disastrous consequences of
this policy Of contraction are not lin
tied to the depreclatiOn Of prices of
agricultural and manufactured pro-
ducts. All values are likewise depre-
ciated. AS a single illustration of
this fact we quote the following from

Che agrculturst we're granted and the currency
were 10 be sweed up with silver and paper ill 10
eQualIed the reenbackers' notions OF the "busi-
ness needs OF the country?"
All manufactured articles where there was no
great surplus would rise In price. The clothing,
leather wear, household furniture, the farm Inn
plements-pOws reapevs, mowers wagons.-lron
utensils, glassware, ETC., bought by the man on
che farm would cost him much more. The inha-
tOn OF the currency would initiate the price OF all
City-made goods and wares. But with the pro-
ducts Of the soil It would DO otherwise The for
eign prices would still rule their selling value.
Wheat, corn, OATS flour, pork, beef, butter lard,
cheese-in short, all surpluses for which this
country could not furnish home market-would
continue low In prce-no higher than the foreign
market which bought the surpluses would give
because the farmer can dispose OF those surplus
es abroad only, and the prices he gets for them,
regulated as they are by competition with the
world determine the price OF all the crop he sells
at home. Thus the imitation OF the currency viii
not beneht his products whose price is fixed be-
yOnd the ocean and outside Of the sphere Of inna-
tlOn but will render the cost OF the goods he buys
much higher than before. Thus Currencyinfa-
tiOn would damage every western farmer.
Hence II IL seen that II the imitation Of silver
and Ueenbacks were made the granger would
not benefit thereby. He would get no more for
his products, while he would have 10 pay dearer
on account Of the imitation for all the things he
got In exchange for his stuff. The measure
which he thinks would be the making Of him
would cut his throat, while the city people would
not suffer from It, for they would get more farm
articles In exchange for their wares. The manu-
facturer would be sheltered from evil effects, for
as general thing he has not used the full meas
ure Of his tariff protecton-has sold goods below

he would take advantage Of every inch Of chat

THE FAIR.

, Belmont county takes great pride Il
her Agricultural Fair and very justly s.
/ for with proper management and goot
weather the number and variety of ex
. hibits is not surpassed by any fair il
, Eastern Ohio. The past year or two the
weather and other untoward circumstan
ces have operated against the exhibit bu
this year, the 10th Annual Fair was very
nearly up to the old time standard, eX
cept in attendance on the second day.
In nearly all departments there wert
numerous entries. In the stock depart
ment there was exhibited some of the
very best stock in the county. There was
some very fine horses in the stalls, and in
the cattle and sheep pens the best exhibit
there has been for several years. John
Stewart, of Stewartsville, had magnifi
cent herd of HOlSteins, 5. r. Giffin fine
herd of ShOrt-hOrns and J. H. Denham of
Jerseys, the Sharp Bros, fine herd of
pOlled Angus and G. 5. Lochary some
good ShOrt-hOrns. A. Y. Henderson and
Oliver Watkins had some fine specimens
of pure bred sheep. Stewart and Giffen
B. NJ. LOper and J. W. R. ID. Sutton
had exceptionally good representatives of
National Delaine Merinos.
In the swine pens, W. W. McMonies,
showed Berkshires, Oliver Watkins Po-
land Chinas and A. Y. Henderson and
5. r. Giffen, Chester Whites, all good
representatives of their kind The poul-
try department was poorly filled, but few
cOOps of fowls being on exhibit. In the
Hall there were innumerable things, es-
pecially in the fancy department, where
ladies constantly crowded to examine the
handiwork. In the fruit department
there was a much better exhibit than
any one expected and it was really credit
able. The new Colerain grape was shown
among the grapes and hundreds took oc-
casion to taste of the delicious fruit,
which was furnished by Mr.. James ID.
Arick, the exhibitor. Joseph MellOr had
handsome show of plants and flowers
and in the art department there were
some good pictures which attracted
much attention. Under relics and curl
osities there was quite a collection of
animals and birds, fine large owl and
squirrels, wolf and beautiful Oriole
pheasant.
The display of field crops and vegeta-
bles WAS dismal failure, although the
few specimens exhibited were quite cred |
liable. If no larger display can be had
of that in which Belmont county abounds
splendid crops and vegetables this
class should be eliminated from the pre-
MUM list. 1t does not stand to the cred
it of either the management or the agri
that such meager display
of products of the farm should be parad-
ed before the public. Something should
be done to improve this exhibit.
The Band contest did not materialize,
but one band putting in an appearance,
but the UniOntOWn Band furnished very
excellent music on Thursday.
Among the attractions on the last day
was the presence and speech of Gen. w.
II. Gibson, on Agriculture. 1t was re-
Dlete with information and good advice,
md was enjoyed by those who heard it.
All in all the Fair of 1890 was fair sue
