THE real questions which are before
the people of Ohio for solution are three,
namely: Whether they want protection
to our industries, with good prices for
our products, good wages for our labor
ers, and continuation of the general
thrift that has prevailed for twenty
years; or revenue tariff that will place
tax on the necessary of life, that will
break down manufacturers, that will
lower the price of farm products. an d
run this country in the interest of toe
English.
Whether they want a dollar That viii
pass for dollar anywhere, or whether
they want to pay the silver mill owners

thus working incalculable harm to the
good money, initiating the currer ICY, and
making silver the standard to the exclu-
sion of gold.
Whether they want revenue raised by
a just and equitable system of. taxation
or by the hateful income tax which
places premium on dishonesty and la
illness, and works injury to the honest
and industrious. These are the ques-
tions before us. Which do you wantP

THE TICKET.

By convention as large as enthusi-
astic, and as harmonious as any known
in the history of politics in this county,
the Republicans of Belmont, on Tues
day, placed in nomination ticket which
cannot be beaten. Our candidate for
Representative, Mr.. ]. c. Heinlein,
comes from Bridgeport. He has every
qualification for good runner, and sue
cessful Representative. He is of Ger
man descent, is young, brimfull of ener-
gy and love of Republican doctrines,
talented and brilliant. AS lawyer he
has steadily risen. He thoroughly ap-
preciates the varying interests of Bel
ment county constituency, and will rep
resent not only the manufacturing la
borer of his own township, but equally
as well the farmer of other townships,
and will, as legislator, do honor to the
county.
Frank B. Archer got the compliment
of a second nomination without contest.
He has become well known to tax payers
of the county. He has managed the
office of Treasurer on strictly business
principles; everything has been done
with perfect fidelity and in an obliging
and courteous way.
In Silas Bailey, of Goshen, we have a
candidate for Commissioner, who leaves
nothing to be desired He comes from
the right part of the county; he is man
of ripe years and experience; success
full and lifelong farmer, and man of
affairs; his probity is beyond cavil, his
reputation stainless and his staunch Re-
publicanism undoubted. He is a man
who will surprise politicians.
John A. Bond is known as the man
who made the close and brilliant fight
for Auditor two years ago. He is finely
educated, and no better man could be
found for the Office of Surveyor. VIM.
Lodge is the present incumbent as In
Urinary Director. He has served two
terms, and so well has he filled the office
that even the unpopularity of the third
term idea could not prevent his over
whelming nomination. He will give
the ticket strength.

THE removal by Germany of the en-
barge on American pork is triumph
for the American pork raiser as well as
for the administration of President Har-
rison. For nine years the American hog
has been prohibited from the German
empire ON account of a fancied un-
healthfulness of that animal. This has
served to circumscribe the market for
pork by inducing several other European
countries to impose restrictive condi-
tions which amounted to prohibition.
Repeatedly have efforts been made look
ing to the removal of these unjust re-
strictions, but such have signally failed
until President Harrison, Secretary
Rusk, and Ministers Phelps and Reid
took into their heads to make the hog
go. AS a preliminary movement Con-
gress passed measure for a rigid in
spection of pork for export, and then
placed in the hands of the President
the power of retaliation in case these
countries still refused our hog. This
had the desired effect, and Germany has
come down handsomely. France and
other countries will soon follow.
This means largely increased de-
mand for our pork and higher prices.
The American farmer will be the gain
er, and to none does it mean more than
to the hog raiser in Ohio, and coming
further down, Belmont county. With
high prices for his pork and all other
products the farmer cannot avoid being
happy. For this his gratitude is due to
the Republican party.

OUR Democratic contemporaries are
bowling that the Republicans are afraid
of the tariff, and want to shove the is
sue on to silver. The real trouble is the
Democrats are afraid of the silver ques-
tion, and being deep in the hole on that
point are strenously opposed to seeing
it brought into the campaign. The Re-
publicans are perfectly willing to- talk
tariff, silver or any other issue enb ering
into the campaign.

THE FRENCH AND GERMANS.

Those French are peculiar people, and at
times awfully offensive, but they possess
one trait for which every true man must
admire them. They are patriots. We can
net agree with those moralists who are
scolding the Parisians because they did not
receive Empress FREDERICK with open
arms, and over her visit kiss and make up
with the Germans. The Empress is
kind-hearted, good woman, and she would
undoubtedly be pleased if the French and
the Germans could forget the past and be
friends; her visit was undertaken with the
best of motives, and If it had been sue
cessful what world of good might have
come from it! And yet, was it not asking too
much Of the proud and patriotic French to
ask them to be friendly with their conquer
orss The time has been too short since the
French were numerically logged by the
Germans and their capital occupied. 1t
was only few years ago the French were
stingy to themselves that they might pay
the enormous war indemnity exacted from
them by their conquerors. To-day two
magnificent French provinces see only the
German flag, and the inhabitants pay taxes
to collectors who speak with foreign
tongue and issue receipts printed in for
eign and hated language.
Noble and generous as were he- inten-
tions Empress FREDERICK and those who
sent her made mistake in assuming that
twenty years were sufficient to obliterate
the memory of Sedan and the humiliation
caused by the capitulation Of Paris. Two
or three generations must pass before the
gall that gets into the French

THE PARENT OF INSOMNIA.

The parent of insomnia or wakeful o,s
is in nine cases out of ten dyspepJc
stomach. good digestion gives sound sleep,
indigestion interiors with it. The brain
aud stomach sympathize. One of the prom
inent symptoms of weak state of the
gastric organs is disturbance of the great
nerve entrepot, the brain. Invigorate the
stomach, and you restore equilibrium to
the great centre. A most reliable medicine
for the purpose is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, which is far preferable to mineral
sedatives and powerful narcotics which
though they may for time exert sopori-
fic influence upon the brain, soon cease to
act, and invariably injure the tone of the
stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, re-
store activity to the operations of that all
important organ, and their beneficent infiu-
ence is reflected in sound sleep and tran
quill state Of the nervous system. A whole.
some impetus is likewise given to the action
OF the liver and bowels by its use.
