Being reader of the HoCKING
SENTINEL for many years and also
several other newspapers, both Dem
ocratic and Republican, printed in
Ohio and other states, cant help
but form an opinion, as TO the po
litical parties of this county, and
the cause each party advocates. l
thoughts a few items would rot be
amiSs for the consideration of the
Democrats and thinking people of
lIocking County. the campaign be-
ing now open and each party mar
shalin. it's forces for final combat,
The Journal Gazette, or tine Re-
publican Gazette, Hub journal which

with the CLUB in :he center but
things are coming to pass according
to Scripture that The last shall be
first and the first shall be last) in it's
recent issues howls, Free trade, Free
wool, Brlce, Doodle and the destruct-
ion of the country by the Demo
cratic party, with now and then
a small newspaper clipping in its ed
itorial columns, Governor Mckinley's
opinion of Foraker, and not saying
anythingof BushnelPs Doodle, Fora
ker, Cox, bos,ism and the Infamous
class legislation and the laws enacted
by the Republican party for the
benefit for the favored few.
Free trade! Why don't the Jour
nal state facts? Every schOOlboy
knows Tor at least ought to know
that there is no such thing as free
trade and cannot be, as the only
source of raising money for the
maintenance and support of the gov
ernment is the duty (tariff) on i'm
ports and internal revenue, but Con-
gress, the law making body of the
nation, having the power SO to do,
may in their discretion place some
articles On the free list, such articles
as they deem most beneficial to the
greatest number of people, and place
a duty advalorum on al imports suf-
ticient to raise money enough to carry
on the affairs of the nation, econom-
ically administered. Yet the Re-
publican papers howl FREE TRADE
when It is simply campaign bowling.
Free wool. Congress under the
Mckinley Infamous so called pro-
tective tariff bill to protect the wool
growers of this country. Let us
here and see who are pro
tected: We have in Hooking county
about 25OOO inhabitants SEQ OF whom
raise wool about 55 or 60 sheep each,
making an allowance of about 25-
900 to 10000 sheep in Hooking
county. Under a protective tariff
the manufacturers of wool who are
mostly corporations, trusts and com
bined trusts, creatures of the Repub-
lican party, will say each year to the
wool grower. 1--WE will buy your
wool at our price, employ labor at
our price to manufacture it, sell the
goods to you at our
price, not to yon 500 wool growers
bu. the other 245OO men, women and
children in your county. Thus it is
that the few are protected at the cx-
pense Of the many, and this is PRO-
rECTIyE TARIFF.
The last congress justly repealed
the infamous bill and substituted in
its stead, what the Journal terms the
Gorman-Wilson-Brice tariff bill
placing the item Of raw wool Oh the
free list for the benefit of the great
majority of people whom they rep
resented and by so doing, hundreds
Of people are now getting employ !
ment in American mills, thus bene-
titing employee and purchaser, the
wool wrowers sharing in those ben !
etits as much as others. The Jour
nal, III one of its recent issues, stated
that the Democratic party murdered
;, 100000 sheep in this county. 1t
could not be in this county now as
We have as many sheepin this county
low as we had in 1892.
Why not tell the public how many
of people are murdered in
his country for want of clothing or
he means to get the same?
Brice's boodIe another howl.
Why not mention Millionaire
doodle? How did Brice
lcquire his wealth? Simply by ir-
