The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
1st. Resolved, that we endorse the
services of the Hon. J. j Moore, who
has served as one of the judges of this
circuit for the last ten years; that in
him we found an able, impartial, faith
full and honest judge.
2. We believe that the present
alarming condition of affairs is large
| ly due to the demonitiZation of silver
by the Republican party, and that its
restoration to the position it occupied
as money, prior to it's decentralization,
will greatly relieve the depression in
business, and be of incalcuable bene-
fit to producers and wage earners.
We therefore favor the unlimited free
coinage Of American silver at its legal
ratio.
The fact that the Republican party
deprived silver of it's rightful place as
money metal in this country, has pass
ed into history, and is not disputed;
in view of which the Republicans of
Ohio and Kansas are to be congratu-
lated for having expressed repentance
of the crime and become professed
converts to bi-metalism, by declaring
in their platforms that silver should
be speedily restored to its rightful
place as q money metal"
3. Under the fraudulent pretense
of protecting American labor, the
atrocity known as the Mckinley
Tariff Bill, became a law. In four
years time it has turned the business
interests of the world upside down.
1t has worked disaster to the indus
trial classes of every country and no
one has prospered under it but the
millionaire, for whose benefit the in
famous measure was devised. Farm
products and the wages of labor have
gone down until the farmer has lost
heart and the wage worker is in de-
spair, as he has presented to him
"Hobson's choice of work or starve,
or work and starve under the opera
ton of the Mckinley law. Let it not
be forgotten that no jot or title of that
law has been repealed, but every part
of it is still in full force doing its per-
feet work, and the farmer continues
to sell his corn, his wheat and his
wool in the market the Mckinley law
IlctS III lllil'
The people of Ohio are to be con-
graduated upon the adjournment of
the late Republican legislature, the
most venal and corrupt known in the
history Of this state. That it passed
and refused to pass laws as desired by
the highest bidder is common knowl-
edge. 1t adjourned at a time when
some of it's members charged their
fellow members with bribery, and
when the people were clamorous for
an investigation. To investigate was
to convict. Not to invest was to con-
fess. 1t chose the latter.
The appropriation to pay them
selves for two sessions and not hold
but one was crime which merits the
condemnation and supreme contempt
of every taxpayer, being salary grab
of the worst character in the history
of legislation.
We recognize the difficulty which
our representatives in congress and
Democratic senator's have experience
ed in repeating the Mckinley law, and
in framing a measure which will meet
the just demands of business, and we
demand the passage of tariff reform
bill as speedily as the same can be
done with proper regard to the vel
fare of the people.
