Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard

©he gJettwixai X. BIAOKBVRIf, Proprietor. FRIDA'S, AUG. 21, 1891. The proper emblem for Ohio Republicans would be a mortgage on the farmers. To the billion dollar congress should be added the fifteen millions bounty paid to the sugar barons. The head of the Republican ticket in lowa has a mortgage on his farm. The mistake the whole party has made there for years past was in thinking they had one on the state". Tux free coinage question does not enter into politics in the Ohio campaign as yet, but the line seems to be drawn on the tariff question, just where it should be, when the - next national issue will be made. • When Gov. Campbell and the Democratic orators get onthe stump, the tariff iniquity will be so shown up as to make Ihe voters righteously indignant at McKinley’s infamous bill, opposing the farmers and workingmen. How protection does protect the labonngman! The employes of J. H. Winchell, the extensive shoe manufacturer of Haverhill, Mass., demanded an increase of pay, and Winchell responded by closing his factory, throwing 600 people out of work. The new manner of voting in Ohio this fall is something like our ' own but not quite as good, but it will be good enough for Campbell and a legislature that will save the Republicans all the worry they have been having of late over the United States senatorship. After the election they can hunt around for away to patch up the l breach, and find what is left of the party. The price of wheat and rye is better than it has been for several years past, especially rye. It has not been known to bring such a price since the war. Our Republican friends will credit it to the present administration of affairs in this country by their party. There never was a time since its organization but what they did claim all such and if they fail this time it will be the first. The shortage in the French wheat crop is so serious that the government finds it necessary to suspend the customs surplus tax on wheat for one year. Badly as Russia needs money none of its rye crop can be spared for customary export. Ordinary laborers in Germany are already suffering on account of the high price of bread, potatoes and meat. There is no possible measurement of the famine in India, but it is devastating some sections of -that country like war. In the United States, according to the annual review of the American Agriculturist, farm profits will be one billion dollars more than for a number of preceding years. The People’s party of Kansas have devised a plan to raise money for the next campaign in the state. Only $l,lOO was expended by the Peoples state central committee last fall in a campaign which elected five congressmen, eighty-four legislators, a United States senator and a majority on the county tickets. This fall the committee has decided to drpend SIO,OOO. Every man who voted for Willets will be asked to contribute, one cent to the central / committee. It will come through the county central cdhimittees and where two thousand votes were cast for Willetts the county committee will furnish S2O to the state committee, which will be turned over to J. B. French, secre- | tary of the state alliance. A committee of three members from the People’s central committee will advise with French in regard to exms, •

J N OBJL CT LESSON. The letter written by ex-Congress-man Niedringbaus to the Secretary of the Treasury is one of the various methods Mr. Niedringbaus is now devising with considerable ingenuity to get advertising for his “St. Louis Stamping Company” without paying for it.- Although the Republic recognizes the fact, it is constrained to generosity with Mr. Niederinghaus, at least to the extent of noticing him as a representative supporter of the McKinley bill and the spokesman of the TinPlate Combine. In this capacity he tells the Secretary of the Treasury that “foreign skilled labor for the new tin-plate mills was partially arranged for as early as the month of May,” and he expresses plainly, if indirectly, his firm conviction that when it reaches this country under the contract it will be passed in by the Harrison administration. There is so little doubt on this point that it is hardly worth discussing. If the Tin-Plate Combine begins to crowd in foreign contract labor before the November election, Mr. Foster will make a show of protest to prevent McKinley from being completely exposed in Ohio. After the election the Tin-Plate Combine can do as it pleases. It should be understood that Mr. Niedringbaus is consistent in this matter. He believes that the purpose of this government is to enable him to get the greatest possible amount of money in the least possible time. With this idea he voted in congress for the tax on tin-plate; with this idea he imported large quantities of Welsh tin-plate before July 1, when the tax went into effect, so as to get the benefit of the tax on his holdings of foreign tin-plate; and with this same idea he is now leading the Tin-Plate Combine in the importation of foreign contract labor. He has seen Mr. Andrew Carnegie come over here without an extra shirt and grew so/rich in a few years on the folly of Americans as to be able to buy a Scotch baronial domain out of his pocket-money. What is possible for Carnegie is possible for Niedringbaus, as Niedringhaus is demonstrating. He goes on the principle that American fools and their money are soon parted, and as long as that principle or any other pays him he will stay by it with unfaltering strength of conviction; with sublime confidence in its eternal rectitude. Take him for all in all, we are glad of him. He is a valuable object lesson.— St. Louis Republic. Some of the Republican papers still keep up the cry of the low sugar since the McKinley bill went into effect, but they fail to tell their readers where the money comes from to pay the bounty, for the short space of time since April Ist. The amounts the sugar barons are now getting from the govenment exceeds eleven million dollars. This shows to the people the amount of tariff they have been paying on sugar. While heretofore a part of this money went to the government, now it all goes to the men from whom the g. o. p. expect to “fry the fat” for campaign purposes. Not that any man will think that the enormous sum of $11,000,000 for three months should be paid to any set of men, or $45,000,000 and up wards a year is near the amount of tariff that the consumer pays to the sugar kings, not now as it w’as before the McKinley law went into effect, but in a roundabout way, that is by the increase of the tariff on other articles that the farmer and laborer have to buy as a part of their living, and it is this part that we are finding fault with the part that one party is robbed of to put into the pockets of another, or to collect a tax off of the many for a few. This is the part our Republican friends always fail to tell, well knowing that a majority of the people fail to understand the tariff tariff- law. Some 7,000 business failures so far this year as against 6,500 tor the corresponding months last year do not necessarily indicate a period of financial distress. The figures may be taken as an indication of the increased power, under increased monopoly-flavoring legislation of th4 big fish to eat up the litte fish. |

Tn a letter in Ohm Senator John Sherman says he knows of no instance in the history of the gavernment where public money has been loaned to banks at 1 and 2 per cent, or at all. He saves the exception, however, by calling the fact that by under Mr. Cleveland, during a financial crisis, more money than usual was put into the “Banks of Deposit” through which the government does its business. He neglects to state, however, that, though these banks were denounced as “pets” by the Republican party in 1888, the Republican administration is now letting them keep’ $30,000,000 of public funds without interest on what seems to be a permanent loan. But this is rather a small affair in comparison with other things it is doing to “pet” favored banking corporations. There are some $50,000000 in bonds held by banks which interest will cease this fall. The administration will take these non-interest-bearing bonds and pay the banks 2 per cent, on them by an “extension.”- Having done this, it will keep the bonds safely for them and pay them the interest, and on each bond it will loan them “national” bonds without interest, to be reloaned by them at interest ranging to 5 per cent, and upwards. It is true that this not called “a loan,” and that for the purpose of transac tion the banks are supposed to be issuing only their own notes, but this is a very transparent device by which they not only secure the notes to lend out but also interest from the tax-payers on the collateral for the notes. The subject of “Pet Banks” could be made very interesting in the Ohio campaign, especially for a politician who, like Mr. Sherman, is credited with a “financial mind.’’ He might explain, for instance, why we should base one form of circulating money on a deposit in the treasury which bears interest from the treasury when another form of money, a gold note or a silver note, based on a deposit in the treasury of not less value, carries with it no interest from the treasury on the deposit on which it is based. He might explain in connection with this fact which is the cheaper—a gold note or a silver note issued on bullion deposited in the treasury and bearing no interest, of a bank note issued on the collateral bit of paper, “extended” for that purpose and deposited in the treasury to bear interest at 2 per cent. This is only a small part of what is worth discussion in connection with the subject of bank-petting, and it is to be hoped that Mr. Sherman will give it his attention. The bankers of Indiana * are a very clever and agreeable lot of gentlemen, and it is important to be on good terms with them when one wants a little accommodation for sixty or ninety days. But they are notoriously the most panicky of people, and it takes very little to throw them into a fever of apprehension. J ust now they. are in a state of mind because they are asked to comply with certain provisions of the new law, the object of which is to uncover personal property that has been concealed in order to escape taxation. They insist that if thdse provisions are carried out there will be an alarming shrinkage in their deposits, especially in the spring, which will compel them to greatly curtail their discount loans, thus producing general inconvenience and, perhaps, serious distress in business circles, causing many banks to close theii doors and playing havoc generally. We feel very certain that these gentlemen are a good deal worse scared than hurt, and that the direful consequences which they profess to believe will follow the enforcement of the tax law are creatures of the imagination. We feel very certain that there will be no shock to the financial system of the state, even if the tax law is enforced upon the bankers as upon all other classes of people, and when these gentlemen get over their little scare we fancy that they will feel somewhat foolish.— State Sentinel. It is said that B. Harrison has at last tumbled to the fact that Mr. Blame is a very dangerous presidential quantity and he is about to demand that the man from Maine define his position clearly as to the presidential candidacy. If Blaine decides to be a candidate Baby McKee’s grandpa may as well prepare to retire. — .. .» 11 Children Cry for
