THE present owners of the Milford
Electric Light Plant have offered to sell
said plant to the town for $4,000. The
price seems very high and the Board Of
Water and Light Commissioners will do
we'll to reject the proposition. A tair
price should be paid for the plant, and
only a fair prize. The matter is in the
hands of good men, however, and while
they will not force the Messrs. johnson
to sacrifice their property, they will see
that the interests Of the town are safely
looked after. If the town does not pur-
chase the plant now in operation, another
and larger and better one will be erected

DECLINE TO BE DRIVEN,
Capt. Alfred e. Lee and Gen. Beatty
Address Republican Meeting
at Columbus in Condemna-
tion of fMcKinleyism.
Especial to the Plain Dealer, |

W
COLUMBUS, Sept. 5.-Local Republic
can circles, especially those who cling tC
the false god known as the high protec.
tion idol as represented by Major Nc.
Kinley, were badly shaken up tonight
by Capt. Alfred E. Lee, who took issue
with his party on the great issue. To
thoroughly understand the force of the
argument it should be understood that
Capt. Lee is an educated gentleman,
with large experience in the public
service and an orthodox Republican in
all things, except the tariff issue, which
he maintains has placed his party in a
false position. He was private secretary
to Gov. Hayes, and, by the latter, was
appointed minister to the Hawaiian
islands. His speech tonight was in
response to the request of nine promin-
ent business men of this city, some OF
them being among the largest capital
lists of the capital city and every one OF
whom was up to the present time a
staunch Republican.
Notwithstanding the inclement
weather preventing an outdoor meeting
the auditorium of the board of trade
contained about 500 leading citizens,
among them many prominent Republi-
cans, to hear the address fCapt. Lee.
Gen. Beauty acted as chairman of tue
meeting and made brief address i'll
introducing the speaker.
Gen. Beatty made rousing talk. He
said that the first Republican platform
adopted in 1856 invited all persons,
without regard to their tariff views, to
join with them in battling against the
extension of slavery into free territory.
Democrats by the hundreds joined in
the way, carrying the union banner to
victory. II voted for the first RepubIi-
can candidate for president and I voted
for the last" said Gen. Beatty. I do
not intend to leave the party. If Editor
Flickinger, Editor Bickham or Editor
Halstead desire to leave they have my
permission to do so at their earliest con-
venience but intend to stick"
The General then said in substance
that he hoped the Republican party
would soon be in the hands of more
able leaders than at present. For the
first time an effort is being made to
commit the Republican party of Ohio
to high protective tariff, but there
should be some liberty of thought. The
bulldozers and party whippers in have
no right to arrogantly demand that we
vote for principles which have driven a
million of Republican voters from the
party. In closing the general said: II
propose to protest against this high
protective tariff idea and shall empha-
size that protest by voting against
William Mckinley, but shall vote for
the other Republican candidates. 1
have not reached that point where I
think high taxes benefit the masses
when they have to pay the tax, nor
have reached that period where / be-
lieve robbery is blessing"
He then introduced Capt. Lee, who
spoke at length, the remarks of both
gentlemen being frequently interrupt
ed by applause.

on sugar effected a saving of the entire
amount TO the consumer, would not that
be the effect Of a removal or decrease of
the duty on tin plate, on clothing and
on other neeessaries OF life?
Free importation of foreign sugar
was accompanied by bounty to man
ufacturers of domestic sugar, the
amount Of bounty per pound being the
same,as the tariff tax taken off. Two
questions suggested themselves TO the
people in this connection. Will not
the bounty on domestic sugar take
from the tax payers pocket the money
left in it by free foreign sugar? If it is
better to stimulate the production of
domestic sugar by bounty than by
protective duties, why is it not also
better in the case of tin plaie, " ool and
other articles that, like sugar, have
failed to flourish under heavy protec-
tive duties?

ule which the eulogizers of the McKin-
ley bill ''don't care to discuss. ."-Plain

Editors and Issues.

Fifty Republican editors IN Ohio
have met and decided to make the
coinage question the leading issue OF
the campaign"
1t was the misfortune, not the fault,
of the three taiors of Tooley street that
they could not secure recognition OF
themselves as "the people of England" i"
and these fifty Republican editors are
in like cases.
They have nothing to do with max
ing the leading issue. That was done
for them when the Mckinley Tariff
Bill was passed and a Republican Con
gress squandered the peoples money to
the tune of billion dollars.
The ghost will not down. The nom
ination of Mr.. Mckinley, the author of
the present oppressive law and the in
stigator of the squandering, made this
issue the leading-almost the only one.
Upon that line the battle must be
fought out, however earnestly the fifty
editors may desire otherwise.
They may write reams about it in an
endeavor to induce the people to regard
seriously the microscopic difference be-
tween their own and the Ohio Demo-
cratic position on that subject, but the
people will go on. rejecting upon the
enhanced prices of life's necessaries,
and in November they will record at
the polls their opinion of the McKin-
ley tariff and the doiugs of the Billion
Dollar Congress. York World.

A Sweet Topic to Democrats.

A Mckinley weakling published in
the interior of the state feebly pipes
that "the Democratic papers don't care
to discuss free sugar."
Don't they? Well, they appear to be
doing it with "vim and vigor.n Certain
ly there can be no complaint against
the Plain Dealer for reticence on that
subject. Free sugar, with its bounty
attachment, is q text which the Plain
Dealer finds exceedingly fruitful.
For instance, free sugar has demon
strated better than volumes of argu.
ment the fact that the tariff is tax,
and that tariff tax is paid by the
American consumer and not by the
foreign manufacturer or seller. The
average tax was 2 cents pound. The
very day the collection ceased the price
of sugar to the domestic consumer
dropped 2 2cents. If the foreigner had
been paying the tax the abolition OF
the duty would have put 2 cents a
pound in his pocket instead of in the
pocket of the consumer, who actually
received the benefit. That set people
thinking. If, the removal of the duty

Republican Farmers Getting Their,
Eyes Open.

Mt. Vernon Banner: a prominent
Republican farmer of Liberty township
while in conversation with Democrat
ic neighbOr the other day in regard to
the Alliance movement,spoke substan-
TALLY as follows: "YOu know" said he,
THAT have been lifelong Republi-
can, and never voted any other than a
Republican ticket. This farmer
movement is revolt against Republi-
can legislation, which enriches the mo-
nopolists of country at the expense of
the farming and other industrial inter-
ests. For my part desire to. strike at
the root of this evil, and defeat the
party that has deceived and betrayed
the farmers. You may think it strange
when l tell you that l have made up
my mind to vote a straight. Democratic
ticket hereafter"
After writing the foregoing we came
across the following in the last issue of
the Chilicothe Advertiser. 1t shows
that the leaven is working:
George Watson, prominent farmer
of Jefferson township, was caller at
the Advertiser office last Monday.
II shall vote the whole Democratic
ticket this year most cheerfully," said
Mr.. Watson. Until two years ago I
always voted the Republican ticket
without much murmuring, but began
to realize that something had to be
done to change the condition of the
farmers. 1t has been growing worse
year after year, under the high tax the
Ory and practice of the Republican par
ty which bears down with such heavy
weight upon all classes, particularly
the farmers. Two years ago l made up
my mind that would change the usual
order of things that had beengoverning
my political action and cast my vote
for Mr.. Campbell for Governor, and l
have never regretted it.
II have been much pleased with Gov.
CampbelPs administration, and shall
cheerfully vote for him again this year.
"What the farmers need most right
now is lighter taxes all around, and as
the tariff tax is of the heaviest they
have to bear, they should open their
eyes to the situation and unite to have
the burden removed. The stand the
Republican party has taken for a high
tariff demonstrates that no relief is to
come from that party"

MONEY.
What Free Coinage Means.

The government provides that 1873
grains of gold when coined shall be a
dollar. The governments does not buy
gold bullion and then coin it into mon
ey. Any one can take gold bullion to
the United States Mint and have it
coined. There is no compulsory coin
age of gold but every one is left free to
have as much, of what he may have,
coined as he sees fit. Hence gold coin
age is free, and only so much as the
people want is coined. They cannot
have it forced on them and are free to
use it in the arts or convert it into mon
ey. This freedom Ofits use, and the
fact that when coined is legal tender
of all debts, public and private, makes
the bullion and coined value the same.
The Government further provides
that 412 grains of silver when coined
shall be dollar, but its coinage is COM
puIsory. 1t must be coined from billion
bought by the government. No in
dividuaI has a right to have one ounce
of silver bullion coined. Hence silver
coinage is not free coinage, but forced
coinage by the government whether
wanted by the people or not. If the
same provision that applies to gold was
left free to be applied to silver, silver
bullion would to-day be worth as much
as coined silver. The relative demand
for silver as money and silver for the
art would work out an equal price for
both uses, as it has done in the case of
gold. The gold dollar, by reason of its
free coinage and being legal tender, is
an "honest dollar.n The silver dollar,
if coined free and made legal tender,
with the gold dollar,
will Immediately become equally an
"honest dollar" This is the silver
dollar the people are demanding, and
without, whict hey cannot haveas they
we'll know, free coinage of silver.
1t was in answer to this reasonable
demand that the Democratic party, in
convention at Cleveland, placed the
free silver coinage plank in its platform
of principles. 1t, with the tariff plank,
will be the winning card at the coming
election. Every voter should study
the silver policy of the two parties.
The Republican party indorses the
present silver bill, which by its pro-
visions debase silver in the interest of
the money-lender. The Democratic
party favors free coinage of silver be-
cause it will put silver on equal footing
with gold, give all classes dollar of
the same value and give us currency
that will do equity between the debtor
and creditor. Mansfield Shield and

How to Succeed.

This is the great problem of life which few
satisfactorily solve. Some fail because OF
poor health, others for want of luck, but the
majority from deficient grit-want of nerve.
They are nervous, irresolute, changeable,
easily get the blues and"take the spirits down
to keep the spirits up" thus wasting money,
time, opportunity and nerve force. There is
nothing like the Restorative Nervine, dis
covered by the great specialist, DR.. Miles, to
cure all nervous diseases, as head ache, the
