Is The Tariff an Issue!

The Dcmocrotic papers are making
a terrible tO-dO because. at the open
ing of the Ohio campaign. the speak
ers, from Senator Sherman down. IA
vored Il restoration of the protective
policy. They are raising as much of
a howl oyer It as though it we're Il new
thing. But they seem to overlook the
fact that the Republican state platform
demands it equally: thatevcry Repub-
lican platform. anywhere in the Union
adopted this year. demands it: and
that the Republican party has been
the party of protection ever since it
was Il party. Its national platform
of 1860 demanded protection to Amer
lean industries.
This mimicry of extreme surprise is
part of the absurd and impertincnt
to swindle the American people into
the belief that the present tariff law is
to be credited with the partial restora-
ton of prosperity We are expert
encing. Here in Ohio alone there are
thousands upon thousands of Demo-
cratic w~orkingmen who know. from
bitter experience, that wages under a
Democratic tariff are not as high as
they were under Republican protection
in 1891 and 1892. There may be some
who are getting as much now as then.
but every one knows that the advan-
e in wages during the present year
have not brought them up to the Re
publican level.
Ask these men whether they favor
Republican protection and the result
ing high-watcr mark of wages of 1891
and 1892. and you will find them all
eager for it. and willing to vote for
it. They were fooled by the specious
theories of the Democrats in 1892. but
they understand the situation fully
now. They can not be fooled again.
They have learned thoroughly the
lesson that
Low duties mean increased imports
of articles of the same kind that we
produce here:
That every dollars worth of such
goods imported means a dollars
worth less produced in the United
States:
That this means less work for Amer
lean workingmen. and more work for
those abroad:
That low tariff open the doors to
articles made by cheap foreign labor:
That to compete with them. Ameri-
can labor must take lower wages:
And that the present Democratic
tariff law Is a failure 'as Il revenue
producer. and under it a big increase
has been made in the bonded debt and
to the annual interest burden.
We have faith in the people. We
believe the past two years have been
object lesson to them. We think
they possess common sense. And
consequently we do not believe them
to be foolish enough to be deceived by
sophistries of the Democrats, and to
vote for a party which has demOnstra-
ted fully its utter incapacity to legis-
so as to converse either the eco
nomic or the financial welfare of the
United States.

Building and Loan Associations II

Building and Loan Associations In Danger.
A remarkable feature of the past 20
years has been the great increase in the
number of associations formed by work
men for the purpose of securing houses,
or for investing their savings in i'm
proved real estate. This method of util-
izing a series of weekly or monthly pay
ments for the purchase of property has
proved so successful that there are now
thousands Of loan associations, with
hundreds Of thousands of members.
To every man who has invested his
savings in q building and loan society
the threat of free silver coinage is of the
greatest Importance. Openly advocated
as a method of enabling debtors to cheat
their creditors out of half their debts,
the evil of so cent dollars would prove
especially severe on those whose little
capital is loaned out through these asso-
Citations. Under free silver. the borrow
ers would pay off their debts in dollars
worth but half of those loaned. This
would mean the practical confiscation
of one-half of all the money which the
workingmen have with years of self
denial managed to " Do the Amer
lean people wish to enact a law which

Remember this, young man: Be
careful what you say about a woman's
character. Think how many years
she has been building it, of the tolls
and privations endured, and let no
suspicion follow her actions. The
purity of woman is the salvation of

the redemption of man. Wipe III her
purity and man sinks beneath the

senator Vests sadness.

There is considerable pathos in
Senator Vests latest declaration on
the outlook for the silverites. ITO
be perfectly frank and sincere" said
the Senator in an interview yester-
day. Il do not think the silver men
will dominate the next Democratic
National Convention" Those of
us" he adds, who are striving to get
the party back to the double monetary
standard, though in the majority. have
tremendous odds to combat. All the
money and all the corporate interests
of every section of the country are
fighting us, and in addition the full
weight of the powerful Northeastern
States is thrown against us"
This is a serious state of things for
a country in which one mans vote is
supposed to count as much as anOth-
er's. How is it that with the MAORI
ty you say you had you were still
overwhelmingly beaten?" asked some
body of a local agitatOr who was be-
wailing the defeat OF his party which
had the masses on its side. The
~scoundrels bought us up" was the
answer. Senator Vests assertion that
the s%ilverite majority is going to be
beaten in his party's Convention by
the anti-silverite minority must mean
just this. The gold-bug scoundrels
are buying the honest silver men up.
No wonder a note of dependency runs
through the Senator's utterance. If
the masses OF the people are purchase
bic then liberty is imperiled. In fact.
liberty has vanished. and the social
ed flag of the free is a Haunting lie.
as the abolitiOnists used to say it was.
But it is probable that the Senator
is mistaken in his estimate of the
strength of the silver sentiment in his
party. The "Globe-DemOcrat pre-
dicted all along that the silver men
would be overwhelmingly beaten in
the Democratic National Convention
OF 1915. ana the nearer the Convention
comes the clearer the truth of that
forecast appears. Outside of Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi. |
and perhaps two or three other States
of the West and South. the silver men
are in the minority in the Democratic
party. Nobody believes that Hin
rfchsen's snap Convention last June
represented the sentiment of the party
in Illinois. Moreover. nobody be-
lieves that twO-thirds of the delegates
to that gathering would shout or vote
for free silver now Silverism is a
