The Tin-pIate SwindIe.

The st. Lous Republic has confirmed,
by an analysis of one of the" mckinley
tin Medals" the story of the fraud as
told by the worlds correspondent III

Regis, Chauvenet & Brother, the
leading analytical chemists Of St
Louis, at the request Of the editor of
the Republic made an analysis Of one
of these medals,and this is theirreport:
We have made qualitative analysis
of the medal sent us and find results as
follows: The medal is a circular piece

The composition Of the medal is

lead largely predominates. There is
certainly no steel in its composition
and We doubt very much the source
claimed for the tin.

Luedeking,who fills the chair of chem
istry at Washington University, con-
demned the medal upon its face. at

When told of the result of the analy-

was danger of lead-poisoning in using
the stuff.

is no bright tin,n such as is used for
canning and domestic purposes, made
in this country for sale, was based
upon the thorough investigation of the
National PrOUisi0ner, q partisan

To All Democrats Of
Henry County.

You are Sware that at the election to be
held on November Sd next you will vote IN
der the Australian ballot Law passed last
spring by the State Legislature. The way of
exercising the right of franchise under this
law is very different from what it was under
the old law, and yet il is very simple after
once understanding it. There is no Demo
crat who desires to lose his vote by reason
of his not understanding how to mark it,
and none should be above asking for infor-
nation in the matter so as to be sure they
do not lose their votes.
This committee will cheerfully give all in
formation iasked for by any Democrat
either in person by the voter or by writing
to either the Chairman or Secretary. Send
in your inquiries by letter or apply in per-
son without delay and get the information
desired. No one need be ignorant in this
matter if he will but speak and ask for in
formation. Don't get the idea that it is a
confession of ignorance to ask for this in.
formation, but rather that it is the true indi.
dicstion Of manliness and a desire to do
right by having your hand that holds the
pencil on the 3rd day of November carry out
your REAL intentions and not be governed by
ideas fthe law made up haphazard, making
the the counting of your vote matter of
chance. You can all vote intelli. emily if
you will but exercise ordinary care by get
ting the necessary information. This will
be cheerfully given by the Committee.

The American Farmer

1t is a curious fact, we'll worth un-
derstanding, that no sooner has it be-
come evident to the Republican men
agerie, the serious peril of the awaken
ing OF the farmers to the full meaning
of the Robber tariff, and class egisla.
ton than their political organs change
tune, berate and ridicule those whom
they no longer are able to deceive.
The Cincinnati Times-Star, a rabid
Republican sheet, gives the following
excellent sample:
AS to the work of the farmer, his
wife does the hardest, while he with
improved machinery rides about on
glittering wheels of pleasure. He uses
the reaper but once year, while his
wife could use an improved churu
daily. Still the reaper must be pur.
chased first, if not for other reason
than that it costs the most. He gets
the latest of all improvements, but
carefully restricts his wife to he oldest.
The wife patiently submits to this as
her mother did before her, and the
farmers sees nothing inhuman in the
arrangement because his father did
just as he does.
When the pair have done their daily
labor they sit side by side and talk
about the mortgage, for almost every
farmer has mortgage on his place. II
he is not hequeathed one by his sire, he
gets one himself, for farm without a
mortgage is like a home without a
mother If by chance there happens to
be no mortgage, the pair talk about the
prospects of rain and wonder if it will
be as cold next winter as it was last,
AS for politics, every farmers votes as
his father did, and no amount of argu-
ment will change his mind. He is a
mossback in all his ways. He seldom
works steadily all the year round, and
therei n is the secret of his poverty.
He goes to town ito see man. often
on bright days and when it rains he
sits and watches it instead or having
some work inside to do. Of course
there are exceptions, but they are rare.
Taken altogether, the farmer does
not deserve any pity. He brings his
troubles upon himself and should
shoulder them boldly. He has the
means at hand to better his condition,
but will not He imagines he is the
only hard worker in the world, and
says that if he did not work, the world
would starve. He is altogether too
full of cOnceit and too emptv of
resources Ifhe sees man prosper he
says it is luck. But not until the farm
er learns to work every day in the
year will he be any better than he is
nOw.n
Ridcule away,gentleman, and when
you get through you will find that it
is no longer true that "every farmer
votes as his father dd.n They have
learned something of late.

[ From Wanseon Expositor. |

rrom Nduseon EXposllOr'I
Ed. EXPosIToR:-I see the Napoleon
Signal calls Mr.. Rorck a practical
farmer and man especially compe-
tent to look after the interests of the
farmers. If this is not enough to cause
a wooden man to laugh don't know
what is, Better come over to Wauseon,
Mr. Signal editor, and get Mr.. Rorick s
pedigree before you go into ecstacies
over his practical farming. See if it is
standard. But come to think of it Mr..
ROrick belongs to a certain species OF
farmers. That is probably the kind
the Signal meant. He is certainly an
expert at farming farmers, and if any
farmer doubts it let him get into Mr..
Rorick's clutches, and he will soon find
out that the gentleman is master of his
business. Indeed, if there isa more
practical man than Mr.. ROrick in the
matter Of making much (money) out
of little and of appropriating other
peoples earnings to his own side of
the ledger, the farmers about Wauseon
would like to see that man. We think
he would make fine curiosity for
Barnum's show. You had better try
again, Mr.. Signal editor.
First the Toledo Blade made him
out soldier, who bled and died for
his country. The Signal makes him
out a practical farmer and the thing
has just commenced. We don't belive
that Mr.. Rorick is certain of his iden-
tity now, and just wait until they call
him saint, father to the latherless,
and a man who keeps the poor of Full
ton county. Then we are sure he will
never know himself.

THE WOOD SCREW MONOPOLY.
Perhaps the vilest of all the combi-
nations is the wood screw monopoly.
The average ad valorem rate of duty on
wood screws was 5O.55 per cent, up to
the passage of the Mckinley bill, when
the duty on screws two inches in length
was raised from cents to Z cents per
pound; those one inch in length from
cents to 10 cents per pound, and those
one-haf inch or less in length from 10
to IA cents per pound. This duty was
practically prohibitory, as only SO, 719
worth of screws were imported during
the year ending June 80, 1887. The
machines for making screws are an
American invention. Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, a member of the British par
lament and a manufacturer of screws,
In a speech at Birmingham, England,
on the 18th of November, 1885, gives
this bit of experience with our protect
ed screw makers A few years ago a
representative of the Providence Screw
Co. of the United States waited on his
firm and said: I'VE are making 100 per
cent on our capital every year and you
send your screws into the United
States; we can undersen you if we
want to, but that would not be for your
interest or for ours. If you will stop
sending your screws into our market,
we will keep the price Of our screws
where it is, enabling us to double our
capital yearly, and we will pay you
$50, 600 annually for so doing"
Very WELL" said Mr. Chamberlain,
1--WE made that bargain, and for several
years they paid US the sum until the
duty on screws imported into the
United States was raised to such fig
ure that we could not send our screws
there and then they ceased to pay US
this sum-"
Now my Republican friends, you
Golden club shriekers, you anglo-man-
iacs, who fear the use of British gold
in breaking down American industries,
stop, pause and reflect upon this use of
American gold to British manufacture
ers in building up this American monop-
oily. Tell me where that $50, 900 came
from? Who paid the 100 per cent. a
year on the capital of the Providence
Screw Co.? Who paid the $50, 600 a
year just to keep competition out of
the American market? Why was du-
ty of nearly 100 per cent laid on for
eign screws imported? What was it if
not this duty that shielded this corpo-
ration? If you really desire to strike a
blow at this gigantic and oppressive
combination join the democrats in ask
ing congress to take away this duty
that is being used as shield and pro-
tector to this combination.
