The value of farm lands 10 variable.
IL IS represented tina. for the last ten
years farm lands have steadily depre-
GATED Ia value without good cause
therefor. Farm lands. like city prop

mercial accessibility, and by their
productiveness. The value OK the
products of the farm establishes its

alone this. but also the cost of getting

The railways may establish q rate from
Iowa and Kansas TO the sea board
that will enable the farmer to transport
his cereals 10 the market and compete
with the farmers OF Michigan and New
York. Ten years ago this advantage
did not exist. The Iowa farm lands were
cheap. The Michigan and New York
lands were correspondingIy dear. Now
the Iowa farm products come into COM
petition with the New York ana Michi-
gan products on IN equal bass.
The result - that the value OF
Io1s lands remains stationary while
the lands Of New York and Michigan
depreci&te TO the same level. The

tablished with the Same convenience.

Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1891-09-24
Hon w @. Warner.

This talented statesman gave the
most powerful argument in favor OF
tariff reform Saturday evening at the
court house, that was ever heard by
any citizen in attendance. "The eyes
OF the nation" he said i'm the begin-
ming, "are upon Ohio and Iowa, and as
sure as there are two great parties, that
certain am ! that both these two great
states heretofore Republican strong
holds, will be carried by the Democrats
this fall"
His talk was mostly from an agricul-
tural stand point. He proved by sta
tistics and convincing illustrations, that
the agricultural class is becoming poor
er and poorer each year, which power
ty results in the aggrandizemenL of
millionaire mOnOpolies aided and abet-
ted by rObber tariff that surrounds
our country like a sea of vampires, sup
ping the existence from the laboring
classes.
The present tariffs long existence, he
claimed, is due to the easy manner in
which it is collected; we do not realize
when it is paid. But let the custom
house officers be taken from our sea
board, and constitute each merchant q
collector of indirect taxes-how long
would it be before the "peopIe" would
raise a Wat Tyler insurrection and
with it's mighty arm, crush the power
that is surely dragging them to want
and miserable existence!
He had held interviews with the Nc
Cormicks and they acknowledged that
they can and do sell their binders at
least 30 per cent cheaper in foreign
countries, Notwithstanding the great
cost of transportation. When asked
why they could not sell to home far
mers at the same price, the answer was,
I'VE don't have to-" His description
of their palatial residences and the
vivid contrast between their luxury
and the simple living of those about
them who, forsooth, produce the
wealth, was master piece of oratorical
ability.
That portion of his argument where
in he proved that the poor man paid
more towards the support of the FEEDER
al government than his rich neighbor,
carried with it conviction to the minds
of the most ardent admirer of high
taxation, Shermauism and Mckinley
ism.
Wherever Mr.. Warner speaks he will
do the Democratic party, and Right, a
manifest good.

county and climbed upward through
his individual efforts, being in the full
est sense of the word, a self-made man.
Infifmary Director.
Flatrock township is and always has
been one of the foremost Democratic
townships in the county, yet she has
never received much ofparty favor un-
Ill two years ago, when Treasurer Groll
was nominated. The Democracy gave
this willingly and with sense of not
yet having fully repaid old Flatrock for
her feality and assistance to the party.
Henry Wistenhause halls from this
township; therefore, when the nOmIna-
tion for infirmary director fell to him
at the conclusion of last Saturdays
convention, it was the general impress
sion that the nomination had fallen in
the right quarter to insure harmony in
the ranks and subsequently complete
triumph in November.
Outside of his position, tsrritOrially
speaking, Mr.. Wistenhause possesses
many other elements in his favor to
make him popular with the people. He
will be the next iBfirmary director.
All five of the men nominated by
the convention are good men, person.
ally, and popular with the people.
What more can be said in commencing
them to Henry county's voters for
their suftrages at the coming election?

TO show the people with what loose
ness the Republican administration at
Washington is running the affairs of
the government, it is only necessary to
tell them that there had been no cabi-
net meeting for the past six months
until the other day, at which all the
members were present. Whole de-
partments are left to understrappers
and the government foots the bills,
while the heads of the departments
are roaming hither and thither, hav-
ing a good time or playing sick. Is it
any wonder, then, that the people are
becoming dissatisfied and demand a
change?

THE Signal is not saying so much
about free sugar as it was-found it was
barking up the wrong tree-but has
much to say concerning the bogus Re-
publican doIlar-thus going square
back on the past record of its party,
which gave the soc dollar to the peo-
pie. 1t has already pointed out the
great saving in having free sugar
which is not IA fact, for what is saved
by the Mckinley bill on sugar is given
to the manufacturers in bounties, so
there is nothing saved to the people in
reality; but it failed to state that the
saving came from the one free trade
clause in the Mckinley bill! Free su-
gar is all right, the bounty all wrong.
Now, if so much has been saved on
free sugar, as the Signal has said, will
it please figure out the great saving to
the people had all necessares been
placed upon the free list?

Representative.

J.F Myers, the Democratic nominee
for representative, is man identified
with the agricultural interests of Henry
county. A farmer and school teacher
the greater part of his life he has ac-
quired sense of befitting legislation
to relieve the poor man of his burden,
in the one, and in the other he has Sc
cured an education that will enable
him to advance his convictions as a
legislator in the Lower House of the
General Assembly. AS a man, Mr..
Myers is afable, good reader of hu-
man nature and a good mixer among
his fellows. With regard to his poll
tics no more encomiums can be given
him when it is asserted that he is a
firm believer in grand old Democratic
doctrine; and he has never let pass an
opportunity to lift his voice in defense
of and advocacy ofsuch belief.
He is an orator of no mean ability.
In fact, he possesses all the requisites for
suitable representative, and the Dem
ocrats could have done no better in
nominating him.
