Democratic Northwest.
OHIO Democratic Platform.

We hereby approve the platform Of
the Democratic party adopted by its ma
tional convention at Chicago and especially
those portions of it. referring to the tariff
and to currency legislation. We congratu
late the country upon the early prospect Of
measures of relief rs outlined by the presi'
dents late message to congress, and we
have confidence that the Democratic con
gress will devise laws to furnish such re
lief.
The financial situation is the unfortunat.
legacy Of the Republican administration
it is the natural result Of the Mckinley
tariff, the Sherman silver law, extrava
gance of the Republican party recently In
power, and the creation and fostering ol
trusts and corrupt combinations by that
party, all combining to shake credit, Il
create distress in the money OF the country
and to paralyzs its business
We recommend that national banks may
be permitted to issue their currency to an
amount equal to the par value of United
States bonds, which they may deposit with
the treasurer of the United States, to the
end that the volume of currency may be
Immediately increased.
The interest of every true soldier anc
pensioner demands that the pension rolli
Should be made and preserved as roll o.
honor. We believe in just and liberia
recognition of the claims of the veteran,
and favor granting them all that patri
ism could ask, all that national gratitude
would demand. But the granting of pen
sionS Of fraudulent claims, or for partisan
purposes, or department decisions in con
travention Of law, as practiced under TIT
last administration, needs to be investigat
ed and corrected so that the unselfish valo
of the American soldier may remain un
tarnished.
The Democratic party pledges itself tha
the rightful claims of no Union soldier to {
pension shall be denied, and the allowance
Of any worthy pensioner shall not be dis
turbed.
We condemn the unbusinesslike admin
istration of state affairs under Governo
Mckinley, deplore the official scandals ant
defalcations under it, and denOunce th
condoning of official crimes which hay,
brought humiliation upon our people. w
denounce the reckless extravagance Of tin
large Republican majority in the roth gen
eral assembly which appropriated for cur
rent expenses about 100000 in excess o
the current revenue, and added almost $50,
10000 to the local bonded indebtedness o
the state, by laws in the main unconstitu
tional. We demand that an end be put tt
such robbery of the taxpayers.
The Democratic party expresses its conf
dence in the ability of Hon. Calvin S. Brio
of the United States senate to material,
assist the Democratic majority in the con
gress of the United States to extricate tn
great commercial interests Of this countr
from their present distressed condition.
The country has abiding faith in the in
tegrity, the patriotism and exalted courag
of President Cleveland. True to the pee
pie and watchful of their interests, he viii
enforce honest and economical methods il
the conduct of public affairs, and secure t
every section Of the country the blessing o
good government

THE TARIFF HEARING FARCE.

The ReiteratiOns of the Protected Manu-
facturer Are Very Tiresnme.
The hearings before the ways and
means committee have familiar sound.
The manufacturer who is benefited by
the tariff makes his speech; the manu-
facturer who isn't benefited by the tariff
asks for O reduction of the tax on ma
terials he uses or stays away lost he
should only make things worse, and nei-
ther the consumer nor the productive
system of the country as whole is like
ly to be called to memory, except as an
individual member of the committee may
chance to ask question.
The speech Of the manufacturer who
wants all the tariff he has, and more if
possible. always informs the committee
that the business he is carrying on is a
new one. 1t may have been carried on
for so or 100 years, but some feature Of
it is still new. It is in its infancy. When
it is older, it will get along without pro-
lection. Indeed it will make price
that foreigners cannot compete with,
but just now it is rather more dependent
on protection than it was 10, 80 or 60
years ago.
The manufacturer who appears before
him (the committeeman will tell him
all about the difference between daily
or weekly wages here and in Europe, but
he will not tell him what the labor cost
really is in his product. The department
of labor has had the utmost difficulty in
getting manufacturers to tell anything
about the cost of production, and in
some notable cases the superintendent of
the census failed entirely to get informa-
ton that would have shown approx
mately the cost Of production.
The information that has been OBJ
tanned from public and private agencies
shows some exaggeration In popular
statements of the differences between
European and American wages; they
prove conclusively that the daily OF
weekly wage affords no idea of the cost
of labor, and they go long way toward
justifying the generalization that where
the wages are highest the cost of pro
duction is lowest.
The truth is that it has been abundant
ly proved that the higher wages in thil
country are offset in whole or in part by
the greater efficiency of labor and thu
freer use of labor saving devices, while
the higher cost of raw materials canno
be offset in any such way, and SO far a
the cost Of materials can be reduced tn,
manufacturer and his operatives will
participate in the benefit. These con
clusions are not reached alone by stats
tical Investigations, but by the testi
mony of such manufacturers as hav
taken the trouble to analyze their owl
expenses and have been willing to Civ
the public some information about tn
costs of production.-Journal of Com

Moreover, that on such an occasion
