The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-10-07

DEMOCRATS should remember that the
candidacy of Lawrence L. Neal means
everything that is dear to the demo
cratic party He fully and completely
represents democratic thought on ev-
cry question which divides the two great
political parties. Seldom, indeed, have
the democratic and republican parties
been represented in the head of their
respective tickets so clearly and dis
tinctly as they are to-day. Mr.. Neal is
the very embodiment of democratic
thought on the tariff question. He fav-
ors the imposition OF impost duties for
the support of the government, honest
ly and economically administered, and
for no other purpose. He favors BIZ
metallism--the coming of both gold
and silver, and their parity in all uses.
He is opposed to extravagant appropri-
demands that appropriations made shall
be honestly expended for the purposes
declared. He does not favor the ap-
preparation of money ostensibly for
public improvements, but in reality to
aid in the continuance of some member
in congress, or to advance the interests
of a political party in the locality
where the appropriation is expended.
He favors the paying of a pension
to every soldier who is entitled to
receive it, even under the legislation of
the republican party He is opposed to
paying pensions to bounty jumpers and
other fraudulent applicants, who dis
grace the meritorious soldier who
served his country faithfully and
courageously during the war. He be-
lieves that the laws should be enforced
and the offices filed by democrats,
during u democratic administration,
holding that the party being RESPONSE
BILE, its own servants should be en-
ployed in all places of trust or honor.
Mr.. Neal is a democrat of the old
school, in love with the principles and
methods which have made the examples
of Jefferson and Jackson dear to dem
ocratic hearts. He has nothing novel
to present to the people, nor does he
believe in new-fangled notions in poll
tics. He is satisfied to stand where all
the worthless of our party have stood
from the foundation Of the government
to this day. Such is Lawrence Il. Neal

Cleveland Like ,he Kaiser.

LONDON, Sept 29.-The Standard. in
an editorial Friday morning, said:
president Cleveland's direct down.
rightness on the currency muddle is
thoroughly refreshing, but his seeming
orders to the senate to hasten to do his
bidding is an error of tactics which has
given pretext to Senator Stewards
outburst. Mr.. ClevelandS utterances
bear occasionally curious resemblance
to those of the German emperor. The
paper says that Mr.. Cleveland's letter
to Gov. Northern, of Georgia, is likely
to retard the repeal of the Sherman
law,

The manufacturers who wait upon
the COMMITTEES OF ways and means Of
the house of reprcs 'ntativcs, now con-
sidering the reform revenue question,
are q sad lot Of fellows, wholly given
over TO dependency. and fuller of lam
entations than was the Prophet Jere-
miah. The difference between the an
cient seer OF Israel and the manufac.
turers, however, is wide indeed. 1t Is
not in evidence that jeremiah was
blessed with bountiful supply Of this
worlds goods, nor had he fattened for
three decades by forced contributions
from Israers multitude. He had neither
purple nor fine linen to wear, nor did
he fare sumptuously every day. The
truth is the old prophet lived In plain,
unostentatious manner, and all his
earthly possessions could have been
wheeled off in common hand barrow.
How different the condition Of the
manufacturers. They,as class, live on
the top of the heap, and waste more
than they consume. Besides acquiring
ample fortunes, not infrequently reach
ing the millionaire mark, their daily
expenses for ordinary luxuries, such as
cigars, liquors and amusements, are in
excess of the daily wages paid their
most skilled employees. Elegant homes,
surrounded by spacious grounds,
adorned and beautifed by taste and'
lavish expenditure, is the rule and
not the exception with the manufac-
turer. He is the only man who
squeals when the times get
hard. Men in other vocations sus-
tain losses, but they stand them with
out wincing, and use, without COM
planning, n part of the wealth they have
accumulated in prosperous times. But
when the manufacturer begins to lose
the squealing commences. First comes
n cut in the wages of his employees. He
will not give up penny of that which
he has accumulated. The concern
must pay, and if cut in the wages of
employees does not stop the leak then
he shuts down. The profits of past
years may run up to millions but not
one cent Of that shall return to the
business. Labor must stand the loss,
and failing to agree to do SO, the lock-
out follows, and labor must suffer un-
til such time as profits will follow re-
sumption of work. In all pursuits there
must be periods when they are con-
Quoted with loss. In ordinary
vocations the rule is that he
who has invested the capital
and who has received the major part of
the profits must stand the loss Usual
ly these periods are brief, and the
better times soon, not only make good
the loss, but add to the former accumu-
lations. The exception to this rule is
found in the large manufacturing in
terests. They are never known to give
up. Labor must pay the loss or suffer
still more. We suggest to the ways
and means committee to inquire into
the past profits made by the manufac.
turers who appear before the commit.

soon as possible after the new Congress meets.
