:seturns Show the Wisdom of Tarif Re-
duction.
The total value of imports during the
last fiscal year was S731, 957, ,s75, against
S654, 994,6 the previous year, an in
crease of $40, 963,2 In view of the
great industrial and commercial de-
preston which prevailed last year the
value of imports was large, it having
been exceeded only five times in the
history of the country.
On the other hand, the value of do
mestic exports was S713, 397, 800, against
$500, 204, ,937 the year before, decrease
of $75, ,s07,047. Notwithstanding the
large increase in imports and decrease
in exports, the latter exceeded the for
mer by S6l, ,440,015. The exports of last
year have been exceeded eight times
in our history, and once-in 1s92-by
over $242, ,O00.O
In view of the fact that for ten
months of the last fiscal year the Inn
ports came in under the new tariff law
a comparison of some of the principal
items with the same for the year be-
fore will be of interest.
OF art works, which were put on the
to the value of So, s43, ,097 last year,
against 81, ,724, 39i The year before. OF
chemicals, drugs and dyes, the duties
on which were materially reduced, we
imported $43, ,S52, 500 worth, against
$37, 553 170 the year before. OF cotton
goods we imported $33, 1915, 1898, against
$22, 346, ,547 the year before; of earthen,
stone and chinaware, Ss, ,056, ,034, against
So, $40, 437; of iron and steel, S23, ,O37, 327,
against S2l, 3l4, ,4s0; of leather and man
uiactures thereof, Sl3,sl9,0la, against
S9,4l6,l45. On all these goods the
duties were considerably reduced,
But while there was decided In.
crease in the importation of all these
articles, the duties on which were
moderately reduced, there was also an
increase In imports of goods which
were free under the old law and still
remain free. Thus there was an in
crease from S0O,3l4, ,67o to 500, l29, 3s6 in
coffee, from $40, ,7s6, 1852 to $s6, 199, 054 in
hides and skins others than furs, and
from S15, ,162, a33 to $ls,477,0O in un-
manu- factured rubber and gutta
percha. And, again, there was a de-
crease In the importation of some ar
ticles the duties on which were re-
duced For example, from Sl8,954,7 I'll
TO sl7, s30,9O5 in fruits, including nuts;
from S6,605s65 to 81, 4ss, 5si in lead and
manufactures thereof, and from Sls,-
104,0 TO sl7sl3,s54 in wool and manu-
features thereof,
The imports OF sugar and molasses
fell from Sl26,ol4, lO4 to $40, 492, ,a02
This decrease OF more than $50, 10000
was due ia part TO the enormous iFa-
portations in anticipation of the 40 per
eent- duty, and In part, and principal
ly, to the great fall In the foreign price
OF raw sugars

Louis A. Loichot has made an excellent
auditor and should be reelected. No man
ever occupied this important position that
handled the oounty's affairs cleaner or
more competently. He knows the needs
and desires of the tax payers and his con
stant effort is in - behalf of the people.
Such a man the people honor. The way
to encourage such faithfulness in public
office is to retain the Services of such a
man as long as possible. Every voter.who

A Strong Man.


The Pottsville, Pa, Advertiser, in
speaking Of the candidacy Of Governor
James f. Campbell, says that his nomi.
nation by the Ohio Democrats for gov.
ernor this year recalls to some old poll.
tiCians the nomination of Thomas A.
Hendricks under like conditions by the
Democrats Of the neighboring state of
Indiana in 1872. Mr.. Hendricks was at
that time the acknowledged leader of
Democratic party in the Hoosier state.
He had twice before been the Demo.
cratic standard bearer for governor.
There was popular Republican at the
head Of the opposing ticket, and Mr..
Hendricks, yielding to the pressure of
his party associates, accepted their
unanimous and enthusiastic nomina
tion under conditions wholly favorable
to complete Republican success. He
was elected by the small majority Of
LOO, though with one exception, the
Republicans chose every other man on
the ticket in Indiana that year, and the
Republican plurality on the presidential
vote was 2l,0)O, But Campbell is far
stronger in many respects than Hen
dricks, He was loyal to the cause of
~ rle Ulion brave soldier and an un.
doubted patriot Besides, as governor
Of the state Of Ohio he gave it one Of
the purest and best administration, ever
known He gave his master, the peo-
pie, the fall benefit of his hire and
never denied the existence of the con-
stitutional prerogatives of his Office TO
the humble. These things are written
in the spirit Of justice and truth, and
not of a partisan politics.

The fact is that the Republican lead.
ers, while trying TO straddle the tariff
question and make themselves agree
able to both sides, have, in spite Of
themselves, given notice that Re-
publican success in Ohio in November
next would mean a campaign to plunge
the country into another violent tariff
agitation, quickly succeeding the one
which has been a disturbing element to

With every department of the state
government, and nearly or all the pub
lie institutions increasing their expendi-
lures at the rate of 20 per cent since
1891, no wonder the states revenues fall
below the expenditures and money has
to be borrowed. The Republican lead.
ers try to explain this by saying that it
is only because salaries have been in.
creased and offices multiplied. And by
that token we propose to turn them
out of power.

The state Sinking Fnnd.

The state sinking fund, as the result
Incompetence, If not the criminal negli-
gence Of the last Republican legislature,
is in precarious condition and liable to
default July 1, 1896, rs the general rev.
enue fund defaulted on several occasions
within the past two years.
The total estimated receipts for the
fiscal year ending Nov. 10, 1895, will be
$522, $40, against which there are esti-
mated liabilities of $5S9, 1885, leaving a
deficit of $67 ,555 at the beginning of the
fiscal year Of 1896 Based on the grand
duplicate the sinking fund for 1S96will
reach $3.50, 900, against which there will
be liabilities including the above deficit,
Of $642, 500.
On July 1, 1896, however, $500, 900 Of
money borrowed by the last legislature
to meet extravagant disbursements will
fall due and become q charge against
the sinking fund, so that its true liabili-
ties will be 81, 142 ,555, and its resources
but $3.50, 900.
The dangerous folly of the late legis.
lature is explifed by the act Of borrow.
ing $500, 900 for the general revenue
fund and charging it to the sinking fund,
and then failing to make any provision
to meet the liability. The state has Dor.
rowed practically up to the constitu-
tional limit, and there is imminent dam
ger of the sinking fund defaulting July
/, 1896, as the necessary sinking fund
can not be provided until the December
collections of that year, and the state
can not borrow to meet the exigency.

The OHIO state journal, the central
Republican organ of the state, has at
last been driven into a corner and com.
PEELED to defend Republican extrava
gance in the management of state af.
fairs It admits that there has been an
increase Of over $ll 900 a year in the
department Of workshop inspection,
since 1891, but explains it by saying that
salaries have been advanced and new
offices created. Certainly and that is
what the people are objecting to. They
do not propose to permit Republican
legislature to be elected, TO go on multi.
plying offices and increasing salaries.
The Pennsylvania Democratic con.
vention put the whole story in a few
words, when speaking, in their plat
form, of the effects of the new tariff bill
upon the industries by saying: 1--WE
invite the attention Of the wage earners
to the fact that the present voluntary
increase of wages of those employed in
the manufacturing industries, amount
ing to no less than $3.50, 900, 900, was alb.
solutely unknown under the Mckinley
tariff act" And vet the Republican
leaders in Ohio are clamoring for the
restoration of McKinleyism and its long
