vantage which exporters would derive
who sent their goods to gold using
country towit: the United Kingdom.
The manufacturers of the states would
not be quite in the same position of
vantage as the agriculturists of the
Argentine, nor the exporters in India,
but they would have a sufficient lever
age over the manufacturers here to turn
the scale in every trade where now
there is doubt which way the market
trends. In tin plates, many kinds of
machinery, including some of the very
heaviest, in leather and in manv sun.
dry manufactures where the British
producer can with difficulty hold his
own, the effect of the change would be
decisive.
Then this policy is also bribe to the
farmers. American dead meat - live
cattle being prohibited-wheat and all
farm produce suitable for expectation
would come over in greatly augmented
quantities, for the difference in the ex.
change would mean such an addition Of
profit that an immense stimulus would
be given all along the line. AS to silver
mining, all that can be said is that
there would be rush. The dimen-
sions of the movement would depend
upon many things impossible to foresee.
These anticipations of what has become
possible are not, be it remembered,
based on mere theory. We know al.
ready too well what to expect from for
eign traders in a country where silver
ia the standard currency. India, Japan
and Argentina are all bearing witness
to the insi 1ious effect on British trade
of conditions similar to those now in
perspective in the United States. Mean.
time, we can not too soon face the pos.
sibilities and realize the true signif.
canoe of the position as it is"
Every business man and several bank
ers and capitalists with whom l have
conversed, after calling their attention
to the foregoing, agree that this is
substantial admission by the very high
est financial authority of England, that
even the independent action of the
| United States in remonetiZing silver
would speedily put our country in the
| lead and make us masters of the com.
mercial and financial markets of the
world.

Democratic party and an overwhelming
majority of the rank and file every.

in that body it is now known that at

The nominees of Wednesdays con-

| Hon. Chiffon A. White of Brown
county, the candidate for secretary OF
state, lives at the very spot where he
was born. He was a boy soldier in the
Mexican war. He served as prosecuting
attorney of his county for number of
terms. His services in the Ohio legisla-
ture attracted favorable attention to
him from all parts of the state. AS
member of congress he achieved de-
served distinction and stood easily at
the head of the Ohio delegation during
his terms of service IN every respect
he is eminently qualified for the re-
sponsible duties of the office to which
he was nominated.
For supreme judge the candidate is
one of the most distinguished young
members of the bar of Ohio. In Judge
f. j. Blandin of Cuyahoga the state
would have jurist of high attainments
and judicial experience.
For dairy and food commissioner Pat.

one of the best known business men of
| Cincinnati. one whose strict integrity
and unflinching honesty will be guar
anty that no scandals will creep into
| his nnni N . frnfinn of fha OFF nf tho
office.
William Beaumont, the candidate for
member of the board of public works,
is one of the substantial farmers of Lick
ing county, living along the line of the
states canal system, and is peculiarly
fitted for the position to which he has
been named.
Taken all in all the ticket is one of
rare excellence, and it only requires the
united efforts of all the friends of refor-
nation in governmental methods to
elect every man on it.
Within the past two or three DAYS
great number of Republicans IN this 10.
cality have signitied their intention of
joining in the support of the nominees
of both the Columbus and Chicago con-
ventions, and the reports from all parts
|
the movement is general.
On the other hand, the differences of
opinion on the financial question among
Democrats is rapidly disappearing. The
minority have yielded gracefully to the
will of the majority and they are NOV
ing shoulder to shoulder in tho great
battle of the people
The campaign, which will open early
in September, will be an exciting and
an earnest one, and there are surprises
in store from unexpected places.
The action of the New York Demo-
rats in not selecting an electoral ticket
or naming state ticket or committee
indicates that they have left the matter
open there for full and complete reor-
ganization of the party in accordance
with the announcements of the Chi
cago convention. This means a good
deal more than now appears upon the
surface. w. A. 7.
