History repeats itself. The people
have no confidence in the capacity, good
faith or purpose of the Democratic
party in the management of the
finances of the country. What we are
experiencing now under Cleveland we
have experienced in every Democratic
President before him, from jackson
down. Examine the record; there was
financial depression in the time OF Jack
son. During the administration of
Martin Van Buren the greatest depres-
sion prevailed. ''Shinplasters' were is
sued for currency, and mobs broke into
-four and provision stores. There was
trouble in the time Of James K. Polk.
During the time of Franklin Pierce
banks failed all over the country, and
every bank in New York except one
suspended. Factories stopped work all
over the country, crowds of unemployed
men, women and children gathered in
the cities clamoring for bread, and so
history is again repeating itself. When
Cleveland was elected the country wcs
prosperous. Labor was employed every
where and people happy. In four
months all this is changed to the con-
ditions prevailing under his Democratic
predecessors. Why will workingmen
not see that every Democratic victory,
gained only through their help, brings
misery upon them2 Instead of ''living
in clover, under Gro-er," they live on

The crop bulletin for this section of the
state covering the past week says:
The drouth was partly broken by local
showers during the early part of the week
reviving pastures somewhat in many To-
calities. but heavier and more general
rain is needed. Corn is being cut: the
fodder is short but of fair quality. Pas
lures are very short, and many farmers
find it necessary to feed stock. Glover
nearly all cut and generally of good
quality. Tobacco about all cut and
housed; the crop is short. Late peaches
are ripenIng and are reported better than
expected in some localities. Quinces
fair. Grapes generally good and many
gathered. Turnips and cabbage a poor
crop. Seeding has been generally delay

Wanted Protection On Pottery

Congressman lkert, of East Liverpool,
who was elected on free trade platform
last year appeared before the Ways and
Means Committee the other day in be

want the tariff to remain as it now is.
He is free trader on every thing but

Reed had some fun with him and Ikert
retired very much disconnected. This
is the way with good many so called
free traders. They want protection for
themselves but for no one else.

COUNTY TICKET.
PENCIL POINTERS.

The President called Congress together
to remedy the coinage laws, but the
Democracy is unable to do that and they
hasten to try something on which the
party is substantially agreed. A certain
Mr.. Tucker, of Virginia, wants all the
vicious (Republican) legislation of the
past 80 years wiped out, and first of all,
in order that the Democratic party may
be assured of continuous supremacy, he
desires that the Federal Election laws
shall be repealed. The laws, as every
honest man knows, were enacted with
the views of securing to every American
voter the right ofvotiug in peace and the
right of having that vote counted. This
principle is contrary to the very funda-
mental principles of Democracy, and they
seek now to have such an outrageous law
repealed. Bnt it may be presumed that
Republicans in Congress will use every
means in their power to retain these wise
laws. When it is sought to sweep away
the last safeguards about the bollot box,
every sort of tactics known to parlia
mentary usage should be used by Repub-
lican members, and doubtless will be to
the infinite disgust of Mr.. Tucker and
the overthrow of his plan of unlimited
repeal.

The limit for the gush about the new

is the silliest form of nonsense to be pre-
dieting what the baby will look like and
what it will be when grown. Babies
have had charge of this country for sew
eral years now and it is time to let up on
the baby racket. In this country the
baby of a President stands on just the
same footing as any other baby in the
land, and, in fact, will probably not
amount to as much as ten thousand
other babies now living but unknown
and un talked about.

Last year the Democratic party was
united because they wanted the offices.
but now they are disunited for most every
reason. Every section of the country is
opposed to part of the policy of the ad

but the administration is going on the
principle of delivering nothing that can
be avoided. 1t is thus securing the an
tagonism of every section.

For competency, for brilliancy and for
genuine ability isn't the Democratic tick
ct a regular ".daisy?" Just examine the
individuals who compose the ticket. You
won't need microscope to examine
them, either. They are not so fine-haired
as that. But examine them as to
their qualifications for the places they
aspire after. And compare them with
their opponents. If every voter does
this, there is no fear for the Republican
ticket. Any man with grain of sense
can see that the Republican nominees are
the better fitted for the places; can see
indeed that with one or two exceptions,
the Democratic aspirants are eminently
unqualified to attend to the duties of the
offices they desire to secure.

Ohio day saw about 1900 Ohio people
at Chicago. This is remarkable attend
ance from a state that is as far from
Chicago as Ohio. Probably no state in
the Union except Illinois will send as
many people to the Fair as Ohio. The
people of Ohio as whole are better to
do than the people of any other. We
have not so many immensely wealthy
people and not so many very poor peo-
pie but we have more people in average
circumstances, people who make more
than they spend than probably any
other state. This is largely the secret of
Ohio's prosperity and standing in the
