IS THE TARIFF A TAXP
Views of a Man Who Has Been Demo


crat.
We have,as nation, three hundred and
sixty odd millions of dollars to raise to
run the Government every year. On that
point both parties agree. We contend
that duty on such imports as we manu-
facture ourselves is not tax upon the
people, but protection. For instance,
steel rails a few years ago were brought
to this country free and were put upon
the market at Sl20 per ton, and as soon
as the tariff was put on, our manufact-
urers with that protection, began to put
upon the market steel rails of better
grade at about one fourth that price. Is
that tax? We only ask that duty be
taxed on material we produce ourselves,
and not tariff for revenue only. Sup
pose that coffee and tea were taXed-what
would be the outcome? Every cent OF
duty charged would be added to the
price of each, and then we would have
to pay it, or do without these necessities.
That would be a tax, wouldn't it? Well,
then, that is just what the Democrats
are trying to do, and if Campbell is elect
ed, one step is taken in that direction
But that little if won't work this year
We propose to land Mckinley and
the whole Republican ticket, tin plate
and all, right upon the back of the Demo
cratic party and it out of existence.
And we further propose to stand by the
American Eagle, the hen bird and the
Goddess of Liberty, who will cackle when
she lays Mckinley egg on election day
Do you hear? Vote the Republican
ticket straight and you have voted tC
protect your home and dear ones. The
record of the Democratic party the last
two years in this State is evidence enough
to show how unsuccessfully they run
things when they have control. Don't
let them hold a single office, and the
country will prosper, the State will be il
good hands, "and the flag will still bt
there

Get Out the Vote.

There is only one essential thing which
yet remains to be done in this campaign.
That is, get out the vote. Unless this
feature is carried to a successful termi-
nation all the other work will be lost A
grand victory awaits the Republicans if
full vote is out next Tuesday. Each
Republican ought to see that his neigh
bors have conveyance to the polls, and
that they go. You can not serve your
party better than by hauling voters to
the polls on election day. And above all,
vote yourself, and then get every other
Republican vote.

A Young Bigamist Arrested.

Young Leroy ROmick, of Bellaire, who
was brought to this place, and imprisOn
ed in the Jail last week is a youth of some
enterprise. Though not yet of age he
has been twice married. Last December
he welded Miss Kate Haler, of Bellaire
Not getting on well with this young lady,
he went down the river to Whipple,
where he met Bertha Flanders, whom he
woOed, won, and welded. He soon de-
serted the second girl, and came back to
Bellaire, where he lived securely until
last week, when Jacob Haler, father OF
the first wife, caused his arrest for biga-
my. He will have his preliminary hear
ing before Judge briggs, and will be
sent to Parkersbug, W. Va, for trial, as
he there procured the license by means

can and lawyer occupied the Bench as
there was in Eastern Ohio, yet the I1lde-
pendent failed to object when the Demo-
Gratis saddled upon Belmont a Monroe
county lawyer. The lawyer who owns
the Independent might remember with
profit that the people as well as the law
yers have some interest in the election Of
a Judge. By the way, the Independent
is not finding fault with the Democrats
for completing their ticket by placing
upon it by the same method as the Re-
publicans adopted, candidates for State
Senator, even though the district has
Republican majority of nearly 5000. Why
not raise howl about that? Republi-
cans should vote their ticket with but a
single Y in the square at the left of the
words Republican Ticket"
