have been conducted so that the
orders should be above suspicion. p
The county's paper should be
above par instead Of below. should
be as good a Banks certified
check or draft.
We now charge that the greater
per cent. if not all of the orders
now outstanding are Illegal and
void that these orders ought to
be discredited. And We shall con
tinue to discredit them. notwlth-
standing the Gazette's appeal to MS
to forbear
The Gazette argues against issu-
ing bonds. We said nothing about
issuing bonds We oppose issu-
ing bonds, but we understand why
some would like to have bonds
issued Bonds would legalize a
vast amount Of illegallity
We also understand why the
work Of manufacturing public SEN
timent against discussing the debt
of the county has been going on
for months
The debtis the large. ugly child
of the Republican political ma
chine Of this county Numerous
and industrious attempts are being
made to convey otlle people who
have to reach down in their pock-
cts for the money with which to
pay this debt, am erroneous I'M
preston concerning the same. We
do not agree with the Gazette that
now is not the proper time to dis
cuss it. We think the time most
opportune. We also think that the
Republican political machine of
this county needs constant atten-
ton; that it in the past has not had
sufficient attention, is apparent to
every one who will fora moment
behold the immense debt it has
foisted on the now over-burdened
Taxpayers of the county; that this
machine will receive better atten-
ton from now on. we predict favor
ably.
We charge again that the evil
that is now upon us is the result of
Republican extravaganza demanded
by the rapacity of said political
machine; and the derelictions of
Republican officials dictated and
controlled by the said same ma
chine.
The debt is nearer 500, 600 than
$4,000, for no doubt the great
bulk of it is Understanding and
has been so for five or six years.
1t is intended that the people
shall know the true situation of
their county affairs. The court
and those who are responsible for
the condition of things can not
silence discussion by saying s.be
still, it is not a proper time to4ta1k
of these matters The Court re-
fused to place upon its record the
report made by the Commissioners.
By SO doing the Court and its adj
visers can not hide from the people
the fact of the county's bad fnan-
cial condition; they shall know it
just the same, as if the Court had
placed upon its records the report.
The Court did record doctored
report report in which the Com
missioners were asked to perform
two of the fundamental operations
of arithmetic that of addition and
subtraction without reference to
the propriety of the operations.
The Gazette cannot demolish ar
gument, nor can the responsible
parties avoid responsibility by say
ing 1T is the fault of the system
of the law" The system or the
law is just as welt adopted for hay-
ing surplus ON hands as it is for
a deficiency. JOHN b. BELLER.

Whx This nnnDug2


If the free and unlimited coinage
of silver be such a disreputable
proceeding. why does Mr.. McKin-
ley seek to bring it about?
Why has he sent his bi-metallic
commission to Europe? But the
patriots tell us that the coinage of
silver is degrading and abominable,
not because of itself. but because
we refuse to await the consent of
any other nation. Tits all wrong
because England does not want it.
Why do We not wait for Eng
lands consent on the tariff?
Because the tariff Twill aid the
trusts, and free coinage would be a
a blow at the trusts. There ought
to be no moro lying about a mat
ter as plain and palpable as this.
IF we need an international COM
mission upon our currency why do
we not need one upon the tariff, for
they are the two questions which
have the most direct effect upon
trade and commerce.
We challenge any reasonable an
swer to this question, showing why
one is necessary and not the other.
The fact is, McKinley's interna-
tionaI commission is a bigger sham
than anything else of his admins
tration, and that is saying much.
All the international monetary con-
ferences we have ever had have
shown their utter impracticability,
and there is more chance for sue
cessfnl international conference up
upon tariff than upon money

Up Goes the Price of Sugar.


Who pays for the Sugar Trust
steal in the Dingley tariff bill?
Why. the people. to be surel
They always pay and always will
pay for the robbery and misdoing
of the corrupt politicians at Wash
ington who manage to fool them at
the polls, as they did SO slickly at
the last election.
Already the breakfast, dinner
and and supper table feel the bur
den, for sugar has advanced one
half cent pound since the first
of this month, in anticipation of
the new rates. The poor man will
have to be satisfied with the infer
Tor, adulterated and impure grades
of sugar for his tea and coffee, or
else viii have to pay the increased
price demanded by the Trust under
cover of the new Republican tariff
bill. In this connection it is in
teresting and also important to
know that the Ohio State Food In
spector has called attention to the
flooding of the market with this
adulterated and impure stuff, in his
last report.
But what care this trust-owned
administration and Congress of
boodlers for the pockets of the peo-
pie or for their health? What do
The people amount to in the eyes of
the agents of the bloated and illgal
Sugar Trust? Nothing. They
are something to be deceived at the
polls and robbed between times.
They were deceived good and
strong last November, and the
process of robbery has now begun.
1t is nothing but open, shameless
theft, under cover of law.
But the peoples eyes have long
been opened; and they will not be
fooled again by the same gang.
The latter know this and are MAX
ing the most of the plumber now at
hand. It is their last chance

We did not intend to take SO
much Of the Gazette's space. Our
former article had reference, solely.
to the point whether the levy OF
1896 is an offset, fully, to the debt.
as reported Upon this issue We
had hoped to bring the Gazette TO
close quarters; for.the Gazette con-
tends that the levy for 1886 IS fully
an offset, and has no relation to
1897 business

epithets, not lodging and shifting
to other matters.

Glenwood, where Mrs Gwinn and
children have been visiting The
three were in a carriage and in GO
ing down Tenth street for the river
the horse became frightened and
for time beyond control. Miss
Gwinn was driving, and but for her
coolness and good judgment, and
bravery seldom displayed, the sad
affair would have been much more
serious than it was. The horse war
running at full gait down Tenth
street, yet Miss Gwinn kept the an.
imal well within the curbs. After
crossing Third avenue and nearing
THE river, Mrs. Gwinn becam.
frightened and attempted to JUMP
out, and in doing SO missed the steI
and fell under the wheels upon ia,
pavement. Miss Gwinn got th'
horse under control and at a stand
still in front of her brothers mil

were hurt in the least, but Mrs
Gwinn's injuries are painful anc
quite serious. Mrs. Gwinn WA
