- Monroe Item*. Monroe needs a good butcher shop, where the people can get meat of all kinds and at all times. -• Last Sunday the Hnngryhook ball players played a mixed nine from Monroe and fiaxed them badly. Os course the Monroe boys are not used to such conduct, on the Sabbath day.

What l><» the Hepiihllcai a Want! [Communicated.] Our Republican friends are sure to gain the victory in the coming election this fall, If we are to take the word of their speakers and the articles of their newspapers. According to these gentlemen's words the best thing the Democrats can do. Is to stay away from the polls in November next. But there is many n slip ‘twixt the cup and the lips. If our Itepublican friends are asked upon what they base their assurance of victory, it Is hard for them to answer. In all of their speeches and newspaper articles we can only hear and read but one song, "The Democrats have made a mess of it, we will upset all they have done. It Cannot be denied, the Democrats have made many mistakes, but are the Republicans infallible? We think they have made as many, if not more mistakes when they had control of the government than the Democrats have ever made, and again the mistakes of the Democrats is not sq much in what they have done, as it is In not doing enough. Now what have the Democrats done that our Republican friends would like to have changed? I> it the ShermanSilverClause? Would they like to have it become a law again? No, we do not want that, they Do they want the election law to take effeet again, to control the election in the South? Thty might want t<f<lo so but they have more sense t han to burn their fingers, inasmuch as it would b<v lost trouble, because the President .Would veto such a law. The Democrats have passed a law taxing greenback like gold and other paper of value. The Republicans of course kicked against this law, but they will not work fora rei>eal of tins law But the tariff! tlie tariff! Oh. they saj. this is not what you Democrats wanted; it is on)}' a pie.ee of patchwork. True, this is uot what we wanted, and what we would have gotten, if the Republicans had not, and who knows by what meani drawn some traitors, some so-called Democrats over to their side to help make a batch of the original bill. What are they going to do now? Will they put iron, coal, sugar and other articles on the.tree list? If they will, they are welcome and we will extend to them both of our hands and bid them welcome. Tills is uot what they want. It is tlie McKinley bill they are after, nothing more nor less. Let us see what we would then have to expect: a few examples will suffice to show: The duty on all sorts of woolen goods is 35 to 50 per cent, under the McKinley bill, coarse woolen goods paid a duty of 150 to 103 per cent., finer goods paid a duty of 89 to 99 per cent., the consequence was that the common class of people had to buy shoddy or mixed goods because tliey could not afford to bjiy all woolen goods. Flannels at 30 cents a pound now pay a duty of 25 per cent, under the McKinley bill tliey paid 85 per cent. Flannels from 30 to 40 cents a pound now pay 30 per cent., under the McKinley bill tliey paid 103 3.3 per cent. Flannels above 40 cents a pound now pay 35per cent. McKinley clrarge 95 per cent; duty. Who bought cheapest under the McKinley bill, the rich or the poor? Blankets were taxed by McKinley & Co., 88,100, and 104 per cent- folmedium grade, the tiuer sorts were only taxed 81 pet cent. AH other woolen goods in proportion. Do our Republican friends expect to go back to to the McKinley tariff figures? Wannamaker, Postmaster-Gen-eral under Harrison, advertises: In consequences of the reduction of taxes by the last Congress, 1 can sell woolen clothing cheaper now.” Do onr friends want us to do would they like to pay the old high priees for clothing. But the Sugar Trust. You'Democrats have favored the sugar barons, True, the sugar borons should not have been protected- Let us see. is not the Republican party the father of this trust? Did" it not come into existence under Republican rule and Republican were not the Republican Senators working for their very sugar bosses? Our friends say. ‘-Yon had tree sugar Under the McKinley bill." This is not s".The taxes we now pay into Uncle Sam’s treasury was heretofore paid to the trusts atid as a premium to Louisianr plantation owners. We hear it said that sugar is already higher now than a year ago. 1 will prove by a good Republican paper, the Indianapolis Journal, that this is a canard. In the issue of Sept 5. t'i!)-|„ six kinds or sorts of sugar are quoted, the cheapest a year ago was 4 3-8 to 4 7-s. It is now quoted at 3 5-8 to 4 3-8. The highest a year ago was it :>-4 to. It now is 5 1 > to 5 5-8. What are onr friends going. t° d°> do tliey intend to bring back the McKinley times? Another, objection is raised by our friends. Tliey say, you Democrats are not satisfied with this bill as it is; you have only taken what you got as a partial payment. so to say, and you will go to wo|k at it again. Certainly, thrs.is just what will, be done. But if you Democrats sro to work at this bill again, you will again cause trouble in business, etc. True; but will not this also be the ease if our Republican friends dochanging the tariff, and tints give the trustsand combinations a chance to lobby and speculate at the cost ot the peoP‘'< ' .
