Western MORTGAGES.

That Protection has enriched the man
1facturing states of the east at the ex-
pense of the agricultural interests of the
west is common charge made by Free
traders. The fact is the western people
have accumulated property more rapidly
than the people of any other section in
the country. Tens of thousands of men
with a few hundred dollars each went
from the east only few years ago to
take up western land, and now own val
liable farms worth in thousands the
hundreds of the original investment.
While in the east capital has merely re-
ceived additions. the immense aggregate
wealth of the west has been literally
created in the last quarter of a century.
Mortgage Indebtedness for purchase
money, stock and Improvements is to be
expected among settlers who made a
start with very little or no capital. But
the mortgage oppression" of this sec
ton is largely the creation of the Free
traders fancy.
The following paragraph from an ex-
change undoubtedly explains much of
the mortgage oppression" about which
Free-traders everywhere are Just now so
solicitous:
"A significant feature in the outcome
of the farm mortgage business in west
ern Kansas is the fact that a iarge por-
ton of the foreclosures this year are on
nnoccupied lands. bought up and mort
gagged for what they would bring by
speculators The eastern investor was
anxious to secure investments that prom
ised high rate of interest. and the west
ern mortgage sharp was dishonest enough
to supply the demand, regardless of the
value Of the property or the security of
the principal of the loan"
Yet the foreclosures of such mortgages,
which have resulted in the robbery of
eastern capitalists by western mortgage
sharps, are held up as examples of how
Protection is running western farmers

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS.
The Congressional elections in this
State this fall are of national interest
and importance. The political complex
ion of the next House depends very
largely upon the results of the contests
that are now being in waged in the va
rious districts in Ohio. Bat for the ger
rymander by the 'ripper" Legislature
the House would in all likelihood have
been Republican, but the proposed
change of the Ohio delegation from six
teen Republicans and five Democrats, to
fifteen Democrats and six Republicans,
net loss of twenty, if successful, is
enough to give the Bourbons a small
majority unless the Republicans can
wrest from them some of the stolen dis
tricts in this State.
This being the case it behooves every
Republican voter to bestir himself with
the utmost diligence from now till elect
ion day. Much depends upon the con-
tinued supremacy of the Republican
party in the nation, and it will be a
a great benefit to the whole country il
the Republicans can be allowed full
control of all branches of the govern
government during all of President
Harrison's administration. 1t is con-
dition well worth the united and most
earnest efforts of all good citizens, and
by the act of the Democratic Legislature
much of the chances for winning it as
as well as the responsibility for losing it
rests with the Republicans of this State.

The charge that American farmers
pay more for their implements than for

false. Precisely the reverse is the truth
They pay less. and this is the result of
Protection, which has encouraged and
developed the production of such arti-
cles on a large scale at low prices in the

ton has gone still further. and now by
the tariff bill of 1890 has completely de
Tended American farm products against

Our Home Market.

The following from an article by G.
Wood Davis in The Forum shows how
in a very few years we may have no need
of foreign market for any of our agri-
cultural products:
Assuming the substantial correctness
of the estimates of area by the depart
ment of agriculture, and that home re-
quirements will be such as to employ
3.15 acres per capita, the answer to the
question, When will the farmer be pros
perous? resolves itself into calculation
as simple as the following:
January, 1894, population of 100000
viii require in staple crops an area of a5 500 600
Area now employed in grow
ing such crops -...... ...2l0,0 900
Addition to be made to such
area in four years .-.... 13,0O00OO 223 900, 900
Acreage deficit January. 1891 - SSOO,OOO
This deficit should be sufficient to neu-
tralize any possible underestimate of the
area now in cultivation.
Does not the evidence adduced show
that before this decade is half spent all
the products of the farm will be re-
quired at good prices. that lands will ap-
preciate greatly in value, and that the
American farmer VIII enter upon an era
of prosperity, the unlimited continuance
of which is assured by the exhaustion of
the arabic areas?

CURRENT TOPICS.

When 1t becomes necessary that the
Presiding Elder of this district of the
NJ. +. Church. shall preach a sermon
against the ImmOralltleS that are said TO
be practlced in Our Court House. il is
time for the people TO think before they
vote. When the Christian ministers OF
this town, believing it to be their duty.
go IN body and solemnly protest before
the Commissioners of the county against
the immoral uses to which the Court
House is alleged to be put. it is time for
good people to consider well before cast
ing their votes to perpetuate the same
gang that now holds carnival there
Gazette.
Has any one connected the name of
NJ. NJ. Scott, Jesse W. HollingSworth,
or James F. TaIlman with putting the
court house to alleged immoral uses:
The Gazette is challenged to answer.
The editor of the Gazette was Deputy
under the last Democratic Clerk of the
Courts. He knows that the principal
cause of complaint was against that of
fice-that he complained of it himself,
and that he threatened to quit the office
because of it. Another officer was COM
planned of in the particular mentioned,
but never a word uttered against the
three men at whom the Gazette filings its
unjust accusation, nor has there been
the remotest cause for it. The people
retired the Democratic Clerk and put in
his place man of good habits, and that
Office is no longer beer shop, nor any
other kind of shop, so to speak. The
other officer complained of is not
before the people for reelection, and will
not be.
There are fair minded men in the
Democratic party, and if many of them
do not resent this infamous assault of
the Gazette it will be wonder.
The Gazette would have its readers be-
lieye that the immoralitieS which were
notorious year ago are still practiced
about the court house. Well informed
men know that there has been, compar-
atively, little cause for complaint since
the change in the Clerks office.
Honest voters and we'll meaning men
should not be miSled by such miserable
stuff as that quoted above, and fair
minded men all over the county should
see that they are not. The sober truth
is Democrats were more responsible for
alleged immoralities about the court
house than Republicans, and all we'll
informed men of st. Clairsville know it.
Neither Scott, Hollingsworth nor Tall
man was ever accused of such thing,
and the editor of the Gazette well knows
it; and yet for partisan purposes he puts
in circulation the above scandalous ac-
cusation. He is careful not to name
them, but his declaration about "the
same gang that now holds carnival
there" is intended to cast reproach and
shame upon those gentlemen, and IN the
light of facts well known to the editor
as to them, and his concealment of the
nastiness of the Clerks Office, of which
he had intimate personal knowledge, is
calculated to make honest men diStruSt
all statements he may make. The aver
age citizen has an innate love of fair
play, even in politics; but the editor of
the Gazette does not seem to be that
kind of citizen.
