THE TWO OHIO PLATFORMS.
The One Endorses Hoke Smith, the 9th
er Denounces Him.
1.-THE Ohio Soldier, Chillicothe.l

lIhe Ohio Soldier, Chillicothe
The interests of every true soldier and
pensioner demand that the pension roll
should be made and preserved as roll of
honor. We believe in Just and liberal
recognition of the claims of the veterans,
ana favor granting them all that patriot
Ism could ask, all that National gratitude
would demand. But the granting of pen
sions on fraudulent claims for partisan
purposes, or on Department decisions in
contravention of law, as practiced under
the last Administration, needs to be inves-
tlgated and corrected so that the unselfish
valor OF the American soldier may remain
!nntasrnlshed. The Democratic party pledges
ltseif that the rightful claim of no Union
soldier to pension shall be denied, and the
allowance of any worthy pension shall not
be disturbed
The above is the soldier plank in the Ohio
democratic platform adopted at Cincn-
natl, on which Mr.. Neal is now candidate
for Governor. We hope no comrade will be
deceived by the plethora of fine words and
professed virtue, but will go down to the
meat of the matter and see exactly what it
says. 1t is plain and emphatic approval
OF Hoke Smiths onslaught on the pension
ers. 1t is an approval of his autocratic and
unlawful suspension of pensioners without
investigation and without one word of evil
dence; it is an approval of the 72-inch
yoio Soich WHICH bue TeISlOn department.
has adopted with which to measure sol
diers disabilities; it is an insult to every
pensioner whose pension has been sus-
pended, for it pledges the party that "no
worthy pensioner shall be disturbed" If
Hoke Smith has disturbed your allowance,
the Democratic party in Ohio, in conven-
tion assembled, has pronounced you un-
worthy. The stuff about making the pen
sion roll roll of honor, is just what Hoke
Smith says he is engaged in when he cuts
off pensioner and says his claim is fraud
ulent.
Now let us see what the Republican plat
form says:
We adhere to the Republican policy of
granting pensions to the wounded and dis
abled Union soldiers and sailors of the late
war, and the widows and orphans of such
as are deceased, and we condemn the I'M
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the present Democratic Ad-
ministration.
There it is. 1t is not our platform. We
are in favor of service pension But we
are not, thereforefore, opposed to pension
for disability, and as that is now the law,
we want to see it fairly and literally ad-
ministered, and we join the Republican
platform in it's denunciation of the un-
friendly and unjust policy already made
manifest by the Democratic Adminstra-
tion." There are the two platforms: One
favors "hoking' the pensioner, and the
other is opposed to hoking him" You
must choose between these two 1t doesn't
take us long to make our choice

GET OUT THE FULL VOTE.
Governor McKinley's Advice to Ohio Re-
publicans in This Camnairn

publicans in This Campaign.
Il have an abiding faith that upon the
issues which are before us and which di-
vide us, the right will triumph by the
judgment of the tribunal of the people.
Both parties can not be right. have a
confidence mistaken that upon every issue
presented, the Democratic party is wrong
and the Republican party is right Our
triumph, however, will not come without
effort and energy. We learned last
year that faith without works did not
win the victory. This year there is
confident spirit everywhere prevailing.
We should be admonished by last years
experience that majorities are not secured
by confidence alone. This year let us ac-
company our confidence with zeal, with
work, and with a full vote. Never
was political contest in Ohio more i'm
portant, never an impressive Republican
majority more needed, never its accom-
plishment more certain, if all who believe
alike will act together. am sure the op-
portunity now given to the people to make
their voice heard and needed will not pass
unimproved. l do not appeal for party
IlAuhiPh hofeiy, ouu lor d CAUSE WHICH Is

the principles and politics for which the
Republican party stands-protection and
reciprocity, honest money and an honest bal
lot. These secured and continued will in
sure the highest interests of the people, ad
vance the general welfare, promote our in
dustrial development, encourage the true
American sentiment establish confidence in
the future and lift the clouds which have
settled upon the labor and enterprises of

Appeals For Protection.

The most eloquent appeal in behalf of
continued protection to American
manufacturers is in that resolution of
the Amalgamated Association of Iron
and Steel Workers. which pledges its
members to willingness to accept work
at a ten per cent reduction of wages.
The Amalgamated Association has been
the most resolute of all labor organiza-
tions in resisting reductions; now it
offers, not accepts, reduction. 1t was
this organization that year ago so
stubbornly resisted the proposed re-
duction at Homestead.
Times have changed since then. Then
all the steel and iron mills and foun-
dries were busy Now most of them
are idle. Then every man who wanted
to work could find work to do Now rs
per cent of the members of the Amalga-
mated Association are idle. Their old
employers have shut down their mills
''on account of the tariff as it is feared
the tariff will be after Wilson of West
Virginia and his Southern friends have
so framed it as to make American wages
conform to what Wilson. using the
cant phrase of English economists. calls
the wages of the world"
1t is not the 'silver scare" that has led
to the prostration of the iron trade 1t
Is the tariff scare. The Girard Iron
Company of Niles, Ohio, thus state their
opinion of the cause Of the troubles:
Our whole valley is idle as far as the
rolling mills are concerned, except the
sheet mills at Niles and Struthers. A
lDrOn of ha loc cf fy,r
idle and many of the foundries and ma
chine shops. We opine the whole cause
of the trouble to be from fear of tariff
tinkering.
The Hecla Mining Company of Can
ton, Ohio, say:
The fear of tariff tinkering is one of
he immediate causes of our troubles.
If the tariff is let alone all will be well,
though no great profits can accrue at
present rates.
The Central Iron and Steel Company
of Brazil, Indiana, say:
We do not think that the silvar ques-
ton has much to do with the present
situation. We do not look for any ma
terial Improvement until the party in
power changes its views on the tariff.
While Neal was speaking at Newark,
Ohio, a few days ago, the workingmen
of that city were busy circulating a
petition to Congress asking that the
Mckinley law be left alone, not amend
ed in any respect, or repealed under
any circumstances. They said in this
petition that they opposed and would
vote against tariff for revenue only or
free trade. This petition was circulated
among the Democratic officials of Lick
ing County and prominent visitors at
the meeting and residents in Newark,
and signed by about 300 Democratic
voters. A more glaring example Of
political Inconsistency was never known.

which has become the most rampant Dem
ocratic free trade paper in the country, is
discussing the question in its usual vigor-
GUS manner. It favors taxing heavily not
only drugs for the sick, but tea, coffee and
sugar for the healthy. 1t says:
The National Treasury is confronted with
Increasing expenditures and decreasing rev.
enues and something has to be done to
make both ends meet. That is easily
settled. The present Congress is in Demo
cratic control, and the Democratic platform
Of 1892 pledges its party to establish tar
i'll for revenue only. Here is the very op-
portunity to add to our depleted revenues
The Committee of Ways and Means is al
ready at work upon the subject. A tariff
Tor revenue means an equalization of our
customs duties, an average of 80 per cent,
for instance, upon everything that we i'm
port from abroad. Let us apply it to tea
and coffee. Thus:

Coffee ...... 125,3S7, 72O ......... 37,6l6,31G
Total tariff for revenue. ...... .S41, ,s66. .539
Here is the very thing. Just what the
country needs, an increase of al sos 539 in
its revenue from two commodities in daily
use that now escape all the imports of the
custom house Under the tariff for rev

the few. They must now contribute to the

and our 30 cent coffee will cost 40 cents,
but the Democratic platform of tariff for
revenue only must be carried in its entirety.
1t is what the people voted for, What they
demanded.
There may be some doubt as to whether

paying such an outrageous and unnecessary
tax or not, but there can be no doubt what
ever that the Southern program is to levy it.
They believe very justly that it would fall
most heavily upon workingmen of the
North, whom they desire to injure in every
conceivable manner. The Southern plant
ers and politicians do not believe much in
allowing the Northern mechanic to drink
coffee or tea any way.

The most practical lesson In favor of pro-
lection to American industries is found in
the present commercial and financial CON-
dition of the country. It speaks most en-
phatically and plainly. Ohio voters should
learn lesson from It.

Our Tea and Coffee.

The Democratic tariff policy Is to EN-.
brace taxes upon both the breakfast table
and the sick room, and the New York Sun.

A manufacturer of drain tile recently
said: The prospect of free wool has re-
duced the price, and now will get cheaper
clothing. The free wool policy of Grover
Cleveland suits me-" Just then his mail
came in with three letters from different
farmers saying in substance each: Il had
Intended to buy large quantity of tile for
my farm some of which l had condition
ally ordered, but owing to the low price of
WOOL will not be able to buy" The tile
manufacturer remarked: The profits on
the tile, the sale of which | have lost.
would have bought all the woolen goods
required for me and my family for years
am no longer for free wool" And this
is only sample case, which illustrates the
relation of the wool industry to all classes
depending on patronage or wages.
The Republican party maintains that
cost of production and expenses of liv-
ing are diminished and rates of wages
increased, with the advance in the pro-
ductive power of labor. That the
growth of this productive power de-
pends upon the opportunities and re-
wards for intelligent effort afforded,
under the protective system, by high
standard of wages. If you favor good
wages you will vote the Republican
ticket, if you do not you will vote the
Democratic ticket If you want good
times you must vote for Mckinley, if
you favor harder times and lower
wages than ever vote for Neal. The
issue is direct; no voter can avoid it,
Congress must decide whether the tariff
shall be revised or not. 1t must do this
before confidence and business Isosperity
can be fully restored. If it could be in
duced to formally declare that the time is
not auspicious for such revision an era of
great prosperity would at once begin like
that which prevailed last year and year be-
fore If, upon the other hand it decides to
wipe off the tariff, then these hard times
will continue indefinitely. Mckinley says
Glands Off" Neal urges them to Ego right
on" For whom will you vote9
1t is worth while for the colored voter
to remember, when solicited to vote for
Larry Neal for Governor, that he voted
against the resolution to ratify the Fif-
teenth Amendment. He not only did
not want the colored man to vote, but,
true to his early training in Virginia,
would have been glad to have kept him
in ignorance and to have returned him
to slavery.

which Shall It Be ?

The Republican platform: "Protec-
tion to American industries" The
Democratic platform: "Tariff for reve-
nue. only" The first means goods used
in America are to be made in America
and the second means that they are to
be made in Europe. Goods made here
means wages earned here. Goods i'm
Iorted means wages earned in Europe.
Which shall it be? How can any true
American vote the Democratic ticket

General Grosvenor.s Resolution,

The people of Ohio, especially, will
want to know what becomes of the fol-
lowing resolution. which was recently
offered in the House of Representatives
by Hon. Charles H. Grosvenor, Con-
gresham for the Athens district:
That it is not the intention of the
Thlrty-third Congress to make radical
or important changes in the principles
of tariff taxation, and it is hereby sol
emnly declared that Congress will not
undertake sweeping revision of the
tariff laws, nor will it remove from
American products, either of the farm,
the mine or the shop, that protection
which now stands between the Ameri-
can producer and the foreign producer;
especially it is hereby declared that
Congress will not remove from prod
ucts of agricultural industries the full
measure of protection now afforded by
law, to the end that wages may be
maintained at the present rates and the
producer be rewarded for his labor and
capital by adequate prices.
This is clearly one measure of relief
from ''the present deplorable condition
of the business of the country" about
which Mr.. Cleveland complains, and
the people want to know why Congress
does not adopt it, pass the silver repeal
bill and go home. The resolution was
referred to the Committee ON Ways and
Means, and will undoubtedly be smoth-
cred there, although the Republicans
will make every effort to call it up and
adopt it. If there is better way to
suppress ''tariff tinkering" and give
confidence to the business interests of
the country, it has not yet been pro-
posed during the extra session.

1t is asking too much of the Mckinley
law or any other good tariff law to keep
up prices in the face of Democratic free
trade victory. Coming events cast their
shadows before. We are already in the
darkness of the coming tariff smashing,
the glorious reign of ''British Golden
free trade" to which Larry Neal is so
deeply attached. Will you attest your
lOve of it by your vote?

Daniel schwan shufied on by Cord

Whisky and idleness caused a rejec-
ton Of a proposal OF marriage from

Schwan had been boarding with Mrs.

become infatuated with her. He was
determined that she should become his
wife. He was addicted to whisky and
had not been working for some time.
He was carpenter and had been in the
country about fifteen years and IL is
said he had wife and children in Ger
