The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1891-05-23
The Condition of the Former.

The whole basis of our national
prosperity rests on agriculture. The
farmer one of the most Import
ant workers in our country, and, in
view of this fact, the formation of a
farmers alliance in politics is
very significant fact. For years
the wealth of our country has been
increasing at remarkable rate,
and the only class, which has not
received its just due, is the agricul.
tural class. The great increase of
wealth has gone into the pockets
of the manufacturers and the mid
die men, and our farmers are rela-
lively worse off today than they
were fifty years ago. Actually, the
farmers are somewhat better off
than they were in the past, but
compared with other classes, they
are in very unfavorable condition.
This is why the farmers have form
ed ah alliance and gone into poll
.tics. "

AS u rule, the farmers of this
country have been stalwart Re-
publicans. They have trusted IN
the meaningless promises of pro-
tected home market until forced to
see have they been duped. They
have uncomplainingIy paid the
import duties on the materials
which they consumed, and taxed
themselves to protect the manu-
facturer from foreign competition,
in the hope that by some mira Gu
lous act, the government could sub
vert the laws of nature and gain
them share in the prosperity of
the country. All the campaign
predictions Of fabulous home mark
cts have failed to realize; yet, year
after year. the farmer has gone to
the polls and elected high tariff
men. Now, however, they have
got through. They are tired of
trusting their interests in the hands
of politicians who never think of
them outside of campaigns. They
have begun to think out these mat
ters for themselves, and to see how
they have been continuously COM
batting their own interests. They
are not yet ready to go over def
nitely TO the Democratic party, for
they have too long been accustomed
to regard that party as wishing in
some way, which they cannot ex-
plain, to sell out the country to
England. But they have bolted
from the protectionist ranks, and,
if the next campaign be fought on
the same grounds as the two pre-
ceding ones, they will be found
solid for equitable and just tariff
reform. All that the Democrats
need do then to win their support,
is to remain true to tariff reform,
and with the help Of the independ-
ent element and the farmers alli-
ance, they will carry the country
by an overwhelming majority.

The Case of Michigan,

Demoines Leader.
The Republicans have recently
received dose of their own medi-
cine and they are making very
wry faces over it. The Democrat
ic legislature of Michigan has re-
Gently passed law by which the
presidential electors of that state
are to be chosen by districts, while
the two electors at large are to be
chosen one by the eastern half, the
other by the western half of the
State. AS the Democrats carried
eight out of eleven congressional
districts at the last election, they
were reasonably sure of eight of
the district electors and one of the
electors at large. This would give
them nine votes to the Republi-
cans tive-Michigan, under the
new apportionment, having four
teen votes in the college.
The condition of affairs is far
from being satisfactory to the Re-
publican press, and in consequence
it's columns are filled with denun-
Citations of the democratic gerry
mander." Their convenient men,
ory retains no recollection of the
Republican gerrymander of Ohio,
or of the "monkey wrench" district
and other curiosities of the gerry
mander here in Iowa, or the pecu-
liar districting of the State of
New York which makes certain
the choice of Republican legis-
lature at the same election that
gives Democratic governor
and overwhelming majority. The
Republican party has never let
slip an opportunity to gerrymander
State whenever that gerrymna-
der was necessary to control it,
and they had power to do so.
The State of Connecticut has been
controlled by them for years in
consequence of a refusal to change
the peculiar election laws of the
State, which coupled with gerry
mander Of the legislative districts
has thrown the election of COVER
nor into legislature with man
ufactured Republican majority.
All these are gerrymanders, and
are palpably unfair on their faces.
But wherein is the act of the
Michigan legislature "gerryman-
der" in the correct significance of
the term that coined word means
to so arrange territory into cleo
tion districts as to give an unfair
advantage to one party. Nothing
of the sort has been done in Mich
igan. 1t is no more unfair to choose
presidential electors by districts
than it is to choose them by the
general vote of the State. In fact,
as the electors are made equal to
the congressman and senators in
number, the logic of the situation
seems to point to their election in
the same way that the congress-
men are elected. We cannot see
of what the Republicans have to
complain.
This act by the Michigan legisla-
ture is going to have further eff
feet than that Of stirring up the
wrath of the Republicans. 1t is
going to cause a general revision
Of the calculations of the result of
next years presidential election.
1t takes, at the lowest calculation,
seven, and perhaps nine, votes out
of the Republican column and puts
them in the Democratic pyramid.
This makes it absolutely necessary
for the Republicans, in order to
win, to carry more states than they
had calculated upon, and is of
just that much assistance to the
Democrats. II takes Michigan out
