THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO.
Kind of Tariff Wanted by the Democratic
Leaders.


To within few Gays it has looked as if
the ampbelites in Ohio were gong to
let the election go by default. But the
advent of Roger q. Mills upon the scene OF
battle has thrown some interest into the
campaign. Mr.. Mills says, Away with
the silver question and let US talk tariff.
But that is not what be meant; he means
let us talk mo tariff He forthwith
proceeds to eluCidate the fact that the
tariff is a tax, no matter whether the
price of an article is less than the duty or
not.
Another speaker for Mr.. Campbell will
no doubt be Hon. NJ D. Harter, who will
represent the Democrats Of the fifteenth
Ohio District in the fifty second congress.
A quotation from a speech made by Mr.,
Harter last year will serve to show tue
kind of a tariff he would like TO have:
II would abolish every custom house IN
the land. | would rather vote for the
establishment Of an institution to spread
the cancer OF field in which to propagate
cholera, or a school in which to teach vice
and crime, rather than to vote for pro
tectlve tariff of any kind
Asregards the sentiment of the anti
protection press of Ohio, the following
from the Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading
paper in the State, will be Of interest:
'lt is a humiiating and disgraceTuI
confession, a bace SANDER, to say that the
American people need any laws to protect
them from competition from any other
nation, Nothing has made England what
she Is but her free trade, her unfettered
commerce. Compare our resources and ad-
vantages with hers, and imagine what oul
position would be among the nations i

All the foregoing items represent things
the farmer has to buy. 1t IS unnecessary
to remind him that what he sells, on the
other hand, brings better prices than last
year. I'VE have recently had it, saye
the Boston journal, ION the double au
thority of two tariff reform papers, the
Springfield Republican and the New York
Evening Post, that New England farmers
receive on the average 20 per cent. more
for their leading products than they did
30 years ago, while there has been a large
reduction IN the cost of most of the sup
plies which they purchase; and we have
also had it on the authority of the
Springfield Republican that prices in gen
eTal are lower than ever since the McKin-
ley bill took effect.
OF all classes of producers in the COM
munity, farmers seem to thrive best under
the Mckinley tariff.

support the Dictatorship. All the others
in Rio Grande do Sui are said
to have espoused the side OF the rebels. Ths
revolutionists are reported TO have raised large
bodies of volunteer troops. The plans OF the
insurgents are not yet fully understood, but it
is said they will lose no time in attacking the
towns which remain true 10 the dictator. Their
object seems to be TO gain possession Of these
places before the arrival of the gunboats,
monitors and transports which Fonseca
has sent to quell the insurrectton.
