ADDRESS TO THE 21sT REGIMENT
BY I. N. sADDLER.


delivered in Perrysburg on the
occasion OF the 14th annual reunion of
the DIST. Regt., o. V. V. l. September
10Th, 1890.
The war is over. The ielighting
smoke, the cannon's roar, the echoing
crash of the deadly musket, haze died
away in the pure, still air of peace
which nestles in every valley, and
crowns every hilltop of our beloved
land.
No more shall the iron fleet darken
the placid waters of our rivers, or
spread devastation DER their peaceful
shores.
The war drum has ceased its stirring
rattle, and the sulphur cloud has
risen to heaven, IL smoke Offering for
the great sin of American slavery.
Silently has the earth drunk the
blood of her patriot sons; she has
gorged her capacious NAV, and she
now slumbers in peace in the delirium
of her satisfaction.
The shrek of the deadly she'll, the
death groans of our patriot sons, have
ceased at last, and with their dying
echoes have been mingled the rafting
clang of falling shacllles,and the joyous
shouts of million human beings made
free.
Slavery has gone, and we stand
to-day upon the broad platform of
human equality.
Secession, the deadly serpent that
reared its awful form, and with open
mouth and forked tongue, hissed its

There has been considerable dis
cussion, pro and con, over the proposed
passage of an ordinance in Toledo,
licensing engineers of stationery
engines. Marine engineers must sake
out licenses, and it is a good thing in
their cases, why is it not equally as
good to have engineers of stationery
engines do the same ? Many a man is
employed as an engineer, when all he
knows about the business is that fire
and water will make steam, and is in
no way competent to be entrusted to
handle an engine.

The steamer ]. V. Lutts is making
but one round trip day between
Perrysburg and T9ledo, leaving Maui
NEE at S:15 a. m. and returning leave
Toledo at p. m. Capt. Lange has
done everything he could to accom-
imodate the Perrysburg people this
year. He appreciates the fact that his
Goat is small and too slow for the route,
but this Winter he will either sell her
and build new boat, ,or will lengthen
her out about SO feet, provide her with
cabin room, put in new engines and
twin screw wheels, giving her sufficient
speed to make the run in about 45 min
utes. The Captain has been very
accommodating, considering his many
draw backs, and the people are glad to
know that he has succeeded in making
some money on the route, and if he
furnishes a new boat next season, the
citizens should and undoabtedly will
patronize the man who has made an
elfotfto accommodate them this sea-
son.

The Cybn Gusher objects to cur
saying that Commissioner Stahl has
done his duty during his first term.
For an officer to perform his duty and
at the same time give everybody all
they want, is n difficult matter. CON-
missioner Stahl, we are informed, has
had hard duty to perform in his sec
tion of the county in furnishing every
thing the people wanted, and has per-
hapse done as well as any man could
have done under the circumstances,
and we doubt if a new man would do
more than he.

Many remarks have been made by
citizens, to the effect that the Perrys-
burg boacd of health were not attend
ing 10 their duty, and from the number
and strength OF odors that greet the
nostrils af our peop'e, the aforesaid
remarks would seem to contain consid-
cradle truth. In justice to at least
twomembers of the board, the JOURNAL
will explain why nothing is done. The
first meeting, held for organization of
The board was attended by his honor
the Mayor, DR.. Rheinfrank, health
officer, III. Nj. Hoover, w. H. Hollen-
beck, and Il. l.. Blue, mt which meet
ing Geo. Tyrrell was appointed sani-
tary policeman and T.. l.. Blue Sec'y.
This meeting adjourned to meet again
the following week. On the evening
appointed, w. III. Hoilenbecl1 and the
Secretary were promptly on hand and
waited patiently for the appearance Of
the balance of the board, and after
being unable TO count themselves often
enough to make quorum, these two
lonely "smellers" adjourned. Since
that time the Mayor has failed to call
a meeting and consequently nothing
has been accomplished. We hope
the citizens who feel like kicking will
turn their attention to those who are
at fault in this matter, and give Hollen-
beck and yours truly rest.

Of industry, and for reducing the wages
OF their operatives TO minimumi this
they accomplish by the importation OF
foreign labor, and by suspending the
operation Of their factories or looms, for
a given period Of time. Whom all the
factories Of certain klRd throughout
the country are suspended for only a
short time, II will create demand for the
products Of those factories and the price
will advance, and their operatives, hay-
ing been deprived Of employment are
driven by the lash Of poverty TO resume
work at less wages; thus they reduce the
cost OF production and obtain better
prices for the products Of their factories,
hence they grow richer and the poor man
grows poorer, hence the trusts that have
absorbed the just earnings Of our people
and sown broadcast the seeds of priva-
tion. and those seeds have not fallen by
the wayside, but have taken deep root in
both our mechanical and agricultural
fields.
To-day a trust is entrenched in every
packing house in the land, concealed in
every oil we'll Of the nation, standing by
the shaft Of every mine in our country,
regulating the product Of every furnace,
controlling every spindle and pricing the
product Of every loom in America They
control every important industry, price
every manufactured article and fix the
wages Of every operative from Cape Sa-
BILE to the Golden Gate.
Their invasions upon the interests OF
the people do not stop here; they control
the price Of every bushel OF grain and
every pound Of cotton grown between the
great lakes and the sunny coast OF the
Gulf Of Mexico, and even carry their de-
vastations into every law making assem-
bly, Of the nation.
But you may inquire: How can trltsts
control the price Of farm products' |
will tell you-they do it by controlling
the purchasing power Of their operatives,
who compose large per cent Of our Gus
toners. For instance, when the iron
trust desires to advance the price Of their
products or to reduce the cost Of produc-
ton, they will order every forge through
the country to suspend operations for
sixty or ninety days, in order that prices
may advance or in order to reduce their
operatives to privatiOn, and thus force
them TO resume work at less wages
While their operatives are thus thrown
out Of employment they receive no wages
and Of course can not buy the products Of
the farm for want of money TO buy with
Then the WISE men of the country will
cry out "over production" and the price
Of corn and pork must fall, because every
body is supplied 0ith those commodities
Now this same operative, having beer
thrown out Of employment at the fur
mace, can not buy the necessary clothing
for Che comfort of himself and family
and as an evidence Of this will state
here that there were recently three hun
dred children turned out Of the public
schools OF Chicago because they were
ragged, and now because these opera
tives can not buy the necessary clothing
for themselves and families we are tolt
that there is an over producrion Of th'
loom, and the weavers' trust will orde
their looms to suspend operations 70

that when the value Of the dollar has

From the beginning Of the Christian

gradually fell, or the value OF the dollar
gradually increased, for falling prices
and increased value Of the dollar are
identical terms. During this period d
most baleful change in the conditions oI

)reBsj Dut Tell you there IL no OVef'pFo'
iuction Of farm products, but an under
production Of employment and wages,
The demand for our production Is only
limited by the purchasing power Of our
and this ability to purchase Is,
TO a very large extent, controlled by
trusts.
Yet the democratic press continues 10
sing the solo Of "tarlif revision, and In
sists that that would correct all our griev-
ances But that high protective tariff Is
not the sole cause Of all our depression Is
evidenced by the fact that protected artl-
cles continued TO lower in price commen-
surate with food products until the avari'
cious trusts entered the industrial do
main and defeated the natural laws Of
supply and demand; but Just as soon as
trusts appeared upon the stage Of action
all articles which they controlled, both
protected and unprotected, advanced In
value, and the price Of wages and farm
products deprecated, and now II the
tariff schedule was 80 revised as to place
the necessities Of life on the free list, the
benefits that should inure TO the people
would all be absorbed by trusts. II the
present duty Of 60 per cent. on sugar was
removed, it would only give go per cent.
Of the value OF that commodity into the
hands Of the sugar trust, which has al
ready taken deep root in our commercial
annals.
Coffee for many years has been on the
free list; yet the benefits derived from
its free importation are only enjoyed by
the coffee trust.
Therefore, II is evident that trusts Is
the spreading epidemic that is sweeping
away the prosperity and happiness of ouI
people. Trusts, can and should be con
trolled by legislation. Yet we have asked
and waited for our Legislative and con
gressional representatives TO remove this
unwholesome barrier, but we have asked
and waited in vain. But yet there IL
hope. Even now there Is a dark cloud o.
discomfort rising above the toiling hori
zon; the quivering lightning may b'
seen, and the rumbling thunder may b,
heard: soon this cloud will burst into
cyclone that will sweep every trust anC

will be composed Of the oppressed labor
