©he If. BLACKBUBlftProprietor. FBIDAY, OCT. 9, 1891, The Australian ballot box law is knocking the stuffing out of McKmleyism, because manufacturers can no longer control the votes of their workmen. The earthquake which visited the central section of the United States a short time ago is just a preliminary to the shaking up of the g. o. p. is going to get later on in the fall. Among the noticeable feature of the crowd of the McKinley speech at Van Wert last week, was the absence of the farmers and laboring men ,of the county. The high bloods and the business element were out in full force. „ Governor Campbell is handling the Sherman Bullion Storage act ii away that is caluclated to mak* John Sherman groan. There is i Democratic Senator in that act, ii there is nothing else good in it, anc if ho is not got out of it, it will be the fault of the Ohio Democrats. The McKinley idea of bringing about general prosperity by highei taxes and farm mortgages does no’ seem to make much headway ii the Ohio campaign, so he now if trying to change his tactics and make us all rich by limiting the numbur of silver dollars in circulation. Our down town contempirarj told the truth last week when he ■ r said that the delegation from Aller and Adams counties took the of Van Wert, Ohio, the day of Maj McKinley’s speech. For the facts properly shown are that the crowd consisted mostly of Allen and Adi ains county people. From the looks of the resolutions passed, the council will keep the street improvement moving along all winter, and, until all our streets are macadamized. The one next in order is Seventh street, which will run from Hunsicker’s grocery to Patterson & Pillars mill. Our city will soon have as good streets as any in the state. This plank from the platform of the Massachusetts Democrats adopted in covention yesterday fully expresses the sentiments of western Democrats: We befieve in honest money, the gold and silver coinage of the Constitution, and in a currency convertible into such coin age without loss. The declaration expressing the uniform historic policy of ithe National Democratic party contained wi its platforms of 1884 and 1888 we un r&servedly endorse. Should Bardsley, thd defaulting officer of the Keystone Bank of Philadelphir, tell what he knows about "the parties connected therewith, the chknces for the Democrats to carry the state at the next election will be good, there would t>e a large number of the leading Republicans leaving for Canada or Home other country, where they imagine rogues are safe from the law. Justice Lamar’s decision that the authority of a United States Marshal does not extend beyond the district fbr which he is appointed is very unsatisfactory to those who think that, when appointed a Federal deputy something, they are entitled to do as they please wherever they please. But it is a sound de*cision. There are still States and State laws left in this country, and no Federal official is above them. 1 h - President Harrison sends word to New York political managers to keep the tariff issue out of the campaign and to whack away at Tammany. Too late, Mr. Harrison. As Boon try to turn the tide of Niagara as to try to divert the minds of the people from the one issue that means all and everything for their pros? perity to-day, to-morrow, and from henceforth. The monstrosity known as the McKinley law no wore settles the tariff question than the ar#cessful career of a highwayman proves the annulity of a law against brigandage.

WHA VS THE MA TTER WITH McKinley? Within a week after Senator Sherman’s refusal to meet Seitz, the People's party candidate for Governor of Ohio, in joint discussion, Maj. McKinley declines, through the mediun of his State Committee, to prolong his joint debate with Governor Campbell beyond one meeting. What’s the matter with McKinley? Senator Sherman pleaded the baby act in assigning his advanced age as a reason for declining a challenge. He was excused accordingly with that degree of charity always extended to a confession of weakness. Moreover, his challenger was not his opponent, and recognized as being far beneath him in mental stature. For McKinley there is no such excuse. He is in the prime of physical life, and the challenge to him comes from his opponent, the candidate of a great party, chosen Governor at the last preceding election, and long recognized in Congress and on the hustings as an advocate and defender of Democratic party politics. There is no escape foi Mr. McKinley here. All the conditions necessary and precedent to a political discussion between can. didates of opposing parties are found in this situation. In Governor Campbell’s case they are com plete. In Major McKinley’s they are not less so, because he stands not only as a candidate, but as the author and exponent of a measure which his party has endorsed and which his opponents, led by Gov. Campblell, have unsparingly condemned. It would be difficult to conceive of a condition of things more suited to purposes of discussion on 9 party lines. It is for that reason that the ex cuse offered by McKinley’s committee is not sufficient. They urge previous engagements as a bar to such an arrangement as is proposed, embracing eight meetings at different points in the state. They can not urge want of notice, however. A joint debate between McKinley and Campbell has been talked of ever since the Cleveland convention. Governor Campbell expressed the day after his nomination his willingness to enter into such an arrangement. The people of the state have been led into confident expectation of it as one of the greatest features of the campaign. Is McKinley afraid? Probably not. He is an enthusiast on the tariff question, a fanatic on the protectionist lines of thought, strong in argument but totally unfitted to meet an opponent whose assaults upon his doctrines could not fail to have a damaging effect before the people. The committee understand this. They realize that the McKinley bill is now, as last year, the greatest load their party has to carry. They feel that the man capable of formulating it is incapable of defending it to party advantage. That is why Ohio and the country are to be denied an anticipated treat. That is why the great Apostle of Protection is not to be allowed to protect his own measure. At last Germany has .determined to admit and eat American porkWhat effect this will have on the price of pork m America remains to be seen. There are so many “slips twixt the cup and the lips,” that we are never sure of prices iUrt.il we have them. But if the pork market is allowed to take its natural course, this ought to effect prices very favorably to the Anjcri.can hog raiser, for it opens up a multitude of additional mouths for him to fill. The German eaters of American pork, however, must be very largely Ger man working people, and these the hand of the gold power is heavily laid. Let us hope, though, that the removal of this restriction may benefit the producer of pork by extending his market, and that it may benefit the German Forking people by enlarging and enriching, their bill of fare. While we depreWtfi and condemn the bad, we are glad to announce and welcome the good

I A “J’OAE’j GxX J OUW IN DEED! According to the best obtainable information from Chili, Mr. Pat Egan, the emissary of the Harris on administration to that country, has been using the American Legation building as a harborage for the most offensive partisans of the late dictatorship, of which Egan himself was a most offensive partisan. When the people assembled around the building and hooted its inmates he demanded police protection, and the building was surrounded with police accordingly. After a time be found these inconvenient, as they challenged all who sought to enter the building, and no doubt treated Egan’s associates as even more “suspicious characters” than his enimies. He accordingly demanded the removal of the police, and as this has been done he is now heating the wires to Washington to express his terror of the mob. The Harrison administration, still sore over the downfall of the usurper to whom it gave its support, is holding Cabinet meetings and hunting around for men-of*war to back this adventurer in his brazen inter* ference in the affairs of the Chilian people and to relieve the panic into which he has fallen when his impudence has been supplanted by his cowardice. Whether in conspiring with Hippolyte in Hayti, or supporting Dictator Barillas in Guatemala by allowing his enemies to be shot down under the American flag, or by intriguing through Egan to supplant Congressional Government with ab solutism, in Chili, the Harrison ad ministration has shown the same spirit it showed in its advocacy oi Federal returning boards and oi Federal bayonets in elections in the States in this country. Its home policy and its foreign policy are cut from the same piece. Both have shown the spirit of absolutism and of overbearing impatience of dissent. In both there has been a ruling spirit of mercenary intrigue, nowhere more apparent than in the relations of the Administration with foreign countries—in Elking and his sealskin intrigues, in the attempt to wrest from the pauper negroes of Hayti half a million in gold as a subsidy for a favorite Administration corporation in New York; in Mizner’s career in Guatemala, and now m Pat Egan’s conspiracies and speculations in Chili. Go on, Mr. Harrison, you are making a record! Forgery Foraker stepped into the Ohio campaign with his usual impudence last week, and for some reason gave a good deal of his harangue to personal abuse of. the Hon. Calvin Stewart Brice. Col. Brice will survive the attacks of a man notorious throughout the country as the principal or accomplice in a detestable conspiracy to ruin the characer .of some of the best known Republicans of @bjp. What credence can be given to such > person as Foraker whether he talks about men in his own party, or men m the Democratic party ? ft is, in fact, a disgrace to the state of Ohio and an evidence of a low tone of morality on the part of many of her citizens that a vulgar and brazen charlaton like Foraker has not been punished by general public contempt and octracism for his sneaking and cowardly .conduct in connection with the ballot-bog forgeries. Betrayer of bis friends, assassin of reputations, reckless of honor or truth in a pursuit of his course ambition, dripping with slimy intrigue and conspiracy, is still the idol of some of the Ohio Republicans, and is still striving to supplant MrJohn Sherman, the experienced and accomplished statesman, to whom he has been false more than once. Whatever happens in the Ohio canvass, this wretched Wfigglipg p'oraker should be stamped upon and crushed out. Jn ancient times giant robbers stalked ahrodd the country, robbing most of the puaqpjp they come across, now we have the moAt of it done through bank officials, g.n4 the government for the benefit of the high The first elass for tjie jwpqge # fttitfjWg some greed of oyn.

DEED!

The appointment of Hsrrj Miesse as a tax-ferret, will cause some shaking of the understanding, of some parlies that have moved among those who consider themselves leaders. The surprise will be so great that our good, honest people who have been turning in to the assessor all their property and if by accident they omitted an article, they afterward informed the assessor for fear of perjury, but the one with money to loan and discount paper withheld from the assessor large sums ot money and other property that should have been returned for taxation, let the hunt be commenced at once and continued until all are made to pay an equal amount for the property they have, and especially the amount they have, and failed to return. While the people of Germany are hungry, they are compelled to pay the Kaiser’s McKinley taxes to protect the land-holding war-lord, his nobility and army officers, from the competition of the “pauper” farmers ot lowa,lndiana, Kansas,llli nois and Ohio. And at home these same “pauper” farmers have to pay another set of McKinley taxes to opteat the Plutocratic money lords of the Republican party from the German “pauper laborers” who want to give cheap goods in exchange tor our breadstuffs. Whether here or in Germany, the man who works for a living is the victim of the same system, made by the same kind of law-lords. While McKinley is stumping Ohio, telling the people how pros perous they are under his great idea of how to make money by paying high tariff. The bank failures continue to come thick and fast, followed by the failure of business houses that handle goods that are protected by the greatest robber tariff that this country ever had, and that a majority of the people of this county are in favor of removing, but owing to this county being governed by a minority the majority haye to bear the burden for the benefit of that minority that are in control of the machinery of this government.

In most cases the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the warp threads, and so lacks strength, and while it sells for only a little less than the genuine it isn’t worth one-half as much.
