What has the democratic party ever
done for the farmer that the republican
farmers of this county should join
hands with them to defeat the repub-
lican party? What has the union labor
politician ever done for the farmer that
republican farmers would wish to place
them in power in this state? What
can a democrat or union labor man do
for the farmer in Topeka or Washing
ton that straight republican cannot do
a thousand times better?

Mr.. NJ. d. Harter has just been
nominated for congress by the demo-
Gratis of the Fifteenth Ohio district.
Here is an extract from his speech of
acceptance:
would abolish every custom house in the
land would rather vote for the establish
ment of an institution TO speed the cancer
or a field in which to propagate cholera, or a
school in which to teach vice and crime,
rather than to vote for protective tariff OF
any kind.
These sentiments We're uprOariOuSly
applauded, thereby demonstrating the
fact that he voiced the common belief
Of his party friends. Yet there are
democrats who still cowardly deny that
the democratic party is free trade
party. MIR. Harter merely avOws
openly what other democratic leaders
maintain secretly.
