Lecture On Fools-Admit One.

A gentleman who lectured on fools,

certainly, and even sarcastic. What
fools are those who suffer the inroads of
disease when they might be cured. DR..

Pimples, Blotches, Eruptions, and all
Skin and Scalp diseases, are radically

Scrofulous disease may affect the glands,

HIS ABSENTEEISM.

Cleveland Leader.
The charitable and benevolent institu-
tions were never in such unsatisfactory
hands as now, and for their condition
Governor Campbell alone is responsible.
What time he has spent in Ohio has
been devoted to petty political wire
pulling, to the dishing out of patronage
in such ways as seemed likely to best
further his own selfish ambitions and
not to the wise, careful, and judicious
administration of the trusts repOsed in
him by the people of Ohio. So far as
the State institutions are concerned, and
in fact so far as the general good name
is involved, it would have been better
to-day had Campbell spent all his time
in New York, and allowed the various
institutions to run on as they were under
Governor Foraker.

REVENUE TARIFF A TAX.

Tiffln Tribune.
"That revenue tariff is tax is not
disputed. That people do and must tax
themselves for the support of the
Government is also undisputed. What
gain, then, would there be in changing
from a protective tariff to a revenue
tariff? Why should a people who tax
themselves to found free schools, to
build bridges and roadways, and to make
this country a decent dwelling place,
school and home for human beings,
permit foreign people whom they can
not tax come into our markets, which
are the best in the world, and because
they have nothing to pay, undersell
them in their own markets? We take
something ont of every product, made
or grown in this country, in the way of
taxes for corporate and county affairs,
but, under revenue tariff, we permit
the man whom we have no power to tax,
to enter our markets in competition with
our farmers and manufacturers and
laborers. 1t is singularly unfair to our
own people"

WHICH FAvoRs THE TAX PAYER?

WHICH FAVORs THE TAX PAYER?
Circleville Union Herald.
Governor Foraker's second term was
vieiously assailed by Mr.. Campbell and
every other Democratic speaker in Ohio
in 1889. 1t cost the people, all told,
S6,399, 40. Yet the great Home Rale'
Administration of Mr.. Campbell has al
ready had 81, ,185, ,205 appropriated for its
support. This is S785,475 in excess of
the total appropriations for the last Re-
publican Administration. Which party
do you propose, as a sensible and prudent
tay payer, to support in the future? If
you favor a decrease in taxation, and
economy and reform in the administra-
ton of the State Government you will
vote for William Mckinley, Jr. On
that side is greatest safety and highest
integrity"

STILL FIGHTING THE TRUTH.

STILL FIGHTING THE TRUTH.
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
When the free trade organ, published
in Philadelphia, was asked to explain
why its prediction of year ago as to
the increased price of canned goods
under the Mckinley tariff had not been
realized, it answered that canned goods
are cheaper this year "because sugar,
fruits and vegetables are much cheaper" "
In other words, sit costs more for the
cans and less for the contents; but the
contents being much more valuable than
the cans, the percentage of decreased
cost on the one is treble the percentage
of increased cost on the other"
If this explanation were true it would
have to be accepted as conclusive,
whether it proved agreeable to protec-
tionists or not. But even then the
worst that could be said against the
tariff was that it raised duties on some
things and lowered them on others, the
decrease in the aggregate being greater
than the increase. The Chicago Inter
Ocean, however, challenges the correct
ness of the assertions that the price of
tin cans has been enhanced since the
passage of the Mckinley tariff. Norton
Bros, one of the largests manufacturers
of cans, published card in which they
say that the prices of such cans as are
used in canning factories were from 25
to 80 per cent lower in September, 1891,
than in September, 1890 They also
state that their average prices for the
present year are more than per cent.
lower than the average prices for the
season through for the past ten years.
They back up their statement with
figures taken from their books.

WHAT have the Democrats done for
the Negro that they should ask his vote
this fall? For two hundred years they
beat him with the lash in slavery and
then fought the fercest civil war in
history to keep him in slavery. Now,
that he is a man, they keep him away
from the polls in the South with a shot
gun, and shoot him if he attempts to
vote. They always, except when asking
his vote, refer to him as "a id nigger."
Can any colored man vote with such
party? If he does, he knows nothing of
history or the hostility of the Demo
cratic party to his race.

THE contest now in large measure
settles the contest of next year. If the
Republicans elect Mckinley by good
majority, the skirmish of next year will
be won by our side. If Campbell should
win, encouragement would stare us in

doubly harder. Republicans do your
duty now and then there will be no
doubt about the matter.
