DPICES Used in Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standaro

©he X. BL AO KBORIT, Proprietor. OCT. 16, 1891. Nearly all of the tariff “pictures” which adorn the pages c f Republican papers, are tin-type—-they fade when exposed to the sunlight of truth. ! Jt! _J McKinleyites in Ohio are making a great din to scare people off the track, but have not yet discovered that it is the sidetrack their candidate is on. '■■■—WT Will the Republicans try to figure out what the probable price of wheat would/be this year if confined strictly to the “home market” which it talks about. Maj. McKinley has got a left hind foot of a rabbit caught in a grave yard at midnight. That ougl to bring him luck sooner tlir.ii 1.1 Arnencau tin biidge maiiul'uctUK in Wales. - The larrn v.ir. raised on the pretense of paying. higher w ges t< American workingmen. It hm proved a fraud. Monopoly take all the increased profits and label can bite its thumb. Renewed efforts will doubtles be made during the next session it congress to place the pension bui eau in the whr department; If something is not done ’pretty soar it will be so rotten it will hard!) bear moving. Our friends, the Republican 1 should incorporate in their claimof wise measures passed and a' tempted to be passed by the billim dollar congress, the force bill, ai - other one t« rob the people of * their rights if not their money. Every time a hen cackles in Ohio now it is a triumph for the McKinley bill. If they had not been freed from the competition of the pauper chickens Canada, the roosters of Ohio would all retire td monstrosities and have nothing more to do with the production of eggs in the home market. It is charateristic of the Republican leaders to attack Campbel] because he is a poor man. McKinley lias always been a willing tool of the wealthy lobbyists in Washington and it is not surprising that his lieutenants are now attacking Mr. Campbell. But it is not a crime in Ohio to be poor, as the election will prove. Mills in his speeches in Ohio has fully explained the tariff, and especially difference between the bill introduced by him and the one passed by the billion dol lar congress, so that the farmers of Ohio will by a decided majority vote against uu* iniquitous measures, forced on the people by Reed, McKinley and their gang. McKie y says his law was passed in Cd interest of labor. 'Why is it that not a labor assoc ation in the whole country has’ indorsed th< law? MtfKinley says his : aw was passed in the interest of tl e farmers. Why is it that not an alliance or farmers’ organization has indorsed the law? Do the laborers and the farmers or Mr. McKinley know what is the better for labor and the farm? The McKinley law is a monstrosity and a fraud. . In the last election held in this state the people seemed to show by their vote that they had enough of the party of robber who have by fraud, perjury and stealing managed to hold control of the govern- | ment ever since the war. The last election being the most complete rout that any party has ever had in F this country, and if the Democratic party will use ~>he common sense that has been shown by ; it, success hWB92 is sure to follow. For the issue before the peo pie is the tariff and the majority B understand it as well as the leaders V do* v V «■>, "• ■

TARIFF ON BLANKETS. Again we see going the rounds of the Republican organs; the advertisement of the Brooklyn firm selling woolen blankets that weigh four pounds, for one dollar. While the dutf'on them is $1.93, this for the purpose of showing that the tariff is not a tax and is not paid by the consumer. It is, of a verity, but your statement is also a tax on the imagination. Blankets are necessarily made of scoured wool if they are made of wool at all, and X grade scoured wools are worth 45 cents per pound, which, by the way, is less than they were before the McKinley bill increased the duty on them. Hence four pounds of wool in a blanket or elsewhere are worth SI.BO at least, and no dealer is selling all-wool blankets for one dollar unless he is an idiot or “has a brother in New York who steals the goods.” Secondly, the duty on a wool blanket worth less than 30 cents a pound is 16} cents a pound specific and 30 per cert., which on a four-poum $1 blanket would aggregate 96 cent instead of $1.93, all of which wi’ more plainly appear by reading se< 393 of the McKinley law. This a fair sample of downrigl lying done by protection organ in support of the McKinley rob bery. Everyone knows that a $! blanket is not made of wooff) bu’ cotton mixed with shoddy or othri substitute on a cotton warp. Some times wools of the third tariff class are used in part, but the tariff on such wools is not only 4 to 8 cenß a pound according to quality. An other trick commonly used is t< coni use the prices of unwashed, washed and scoured wools, and it is used by implication here. Washed wool under the tariff law is wool washed with water on the sheep’s back, and scoured wool is wool washed any other way after being taken from the sheep’s back. It is necessary to scour wool with chemicals before using it for manufacture lhere is so much grease and dirt in wool that both washing and scouring cause great shyinkage in weight. It takes 3} pounds of unwashed wool tcamake 1 pound of cloth. A four-pound wool blanket therefore means 14 pounds of unwashed wool, and at 81 it mears unwashed wool at 7 cents a pound, saying nothing of labor, profit, etc. The picture presented above is therfore a mirage, and not a very good one. Germany can’t raise Indian corn because the climate is not suited for it. Corn is a cheap and heathful food but it must }be taxed out of the country because it would interfere with home market for breadstuff's which can be raised in Germany. And why should our own protectionists find fault with this. Tne bleaching of fine linen is an utter impossibility in this country except under expensive artificial conditions. Only in the cool, perpetually humid climate of north Ireland and Scotland can the work be done cheaply and successfully. Yet these linens to buyers, to “protect home industry.” And, as in Germany, the home breadstuffs must be cared for, even at the cost of a starving peasautry, so in America the poor must wear shoddy garments because it is not profitable to rais pertain grades of wool in this country. Democrats know the falacy of the whole. business, and Republicans show ill grace in denouncing German economists for following their example. Major McKinley asked a Coshocton audience, justifying the sugar bounty, if it wasn’t better to ijpay $12,000,000. bounty to get rid of an annual burden of $44,000,000 custom tax on sugar, “since sugar couldn’t be raised here in sufficient quantities for home consumption.” But an experience of many years of high protection shows wool is not raised in the United States “in sufficent quantities for home consump. tion.” We consume 600,000,000 pounds of wool annually and only produce 260,000,000. Should there not be a bounty on this logic? It is as great a necessity of life as

TIIK BIFFERStfCE. The Repubican party declares for “an honest dollar of one hunured certs.” ■ ' The Democratic party delares for an honest dollar which shall be of equal intrinsic value with every other dollar by the United States. The Republican party is opposed to free coinage of silver and is in favor of a forced coinage by the government and seeks to perpetuate the law of which silver bullion’ and silver coin were forced to part company in valuation until the silver in the silver dollar is worth but eighty cents in gold. The Democratic party proposes to place silver under the same coinage regulations with gold, which forbid the government to coin gold for its own speculation but compel it to coin all the bar gold that is offered at-the mints, free of charge, thus allowing the natural laws of trade to regulate laws of coinage. This means the f ree coinage of both gold and. silver. The Republican party therefore is in favor of the compulsory coinage of a “debased” silver dollar—of two standards of coin for the money gamblers of this country, a gold standard for the foreign trade and a silver standard for the home trade. The Democratic party declares that there shall be one kind of coin tor all, both rich and poor, for labor and for capital, and that each silver dollar shall contain a dollar’s worth of that metal. < In short the present order of thing* is all in favor of the Wall Street avd Londongamblets (enabling them to manipulate the finances of this country to enrich ti e rich and impoverish the. already poor. The reform, proposed by the Democratic, and the Peoples party will place silver bullion on a par with the coined metal, weight for weight, thus removing it from the market as a commodity and depriving our money gamblers of a fruitful source of speculation and securing io the country a staple and unchanging double standard of “honest money,” each dollar equal to any other dollar of the realm. ■ > The farmers of Howard county planted hundreds of acres of tomatoes. The crop is excellent and every grower stood to realize from $35 to SIOO on the acre. There is no chance for this now. Last night the Kokomo canning works refused to receive another bushel of the vegetable for an indefinite time. The reason given that cans for packing the tomatoes cannot be had. Thousands of bushels are rotting in the yards of the works. Tons upon tons are decaying in the fields. The loss to Howard county farmers can not be counted in less than five figures. No wonder they are asking for the whereabouts of the “infant industries.”—Kokomo«Dispatch. CHEATING X" HORSE Nearly every pattern of HorSQ Blanket is imitated in color and style. " ry.cct 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 orily a little less than the genuine it isn't wofth one-half as much. The fact that 5 Z\ Horse Blankets are copied is strong evidence that they are THE STANDARD, and every buyer should see that the trade mark is sewed on the inside of the Blanket.
