A vote for the opposition ttieans a help to tax yourself higher? Taking the tariff of off tin ,and the mMls starting up is hard on the te Republican campaigners. The Republican stump speakers still tell the people that the price of wheat is on account of the tariff. The prices our merchants quote you on blankets and . shawls is the effi ct the passage of the last tariff law has on goods. John Sherman said it was the ■over production that caused the low price of wheat. The Republican « stump speakers say . the Democrats are responsible. The tiq plate factories in this Stat” thati bad -shut down under the McKinley law have started up again and are running on full time, and new mills are under construction. When the Republican talks to a Democrat about expenses and mon- ; ey squandered, ask them what became of the surplus that was in tbl treasury whan IlarYison took hold of the Government. . — •The Journal is good evidence of the times. Look at their advertis-t ing columns, see wat our merchants are saying to you about the prices since the McKinley law has been w'ped f flora the statutes of this country. Look and read them careful ly,..and see what they bay about the -necessaries ot life. "T . «*...' ■' ...J.. 1 - 1 ' S'*--. , The calamity -howlers are losing their grip. Statistics show that there are more factories running to-day in the United States than there ever was before'at one time, while .the wages are as good as they were under the McKinley law. W ith ’ such facts staring them in the face it surely is a bitter pill for them.

McKinley has not yet elaborated on the attitude of Andrew Carnegie toward the British. With the income tax and the silver question, that goes into the long list of forbidden topics. McKinley is out to weep over the dried blood of his tariff. He cannot speak of other 1 subjects while his overmastering grief lasts. And he cannot tell the . truth about Wilson. The Hon. A. N.'Martin has is sued a challenge to the Hon. G. V . Steele for a debate in each county in the Eleventh District. This is what should be done in every congressional district in this State. The Republicans are making a cow ardly canvass and circulating falshoods that they would not repeat in a discusssion before a divided audience. Let us have a join talk over the issues in this District. Therk never was a time w'hen a mistake by the voters of the country would be so productive ot so much barm. The issue before the people this year is the record of the Democratic party. This partv, has giten us the great relief of a new tariff rate, repealed the burdensome McKinley bill, giving the income tax, the school book law, the State tax law, the election law and other beneficial laws. The votes of the people will either approve or disapprove them. An adverse vote will doubtless result in the overthrow of all of them. We do not believe the people want that done. Allen county is building gravel roads in every township in the county. Why cannot the same be said of /Liams county? It certain* ly can if the people will wake up to their interests, and with an enterprising move in that direction. They cannot say there is no gravel, for there are now within from one to six miles ot this city, four good grfcvel banks that will supply enough to gravel the north end of the county.* Preble and Root townships Have taken hold of the road work and have now nearly two njiles of the road leading from De catur to Ossian completed They ire working from ten to fifteen teams daily. Will not other town ships do likewise? While Root township has about two miles made <>n the Fort Wayne road. Push the good work ahead and you will never regret it. There is a slight difference of opinion between John bherman and the Republican stump speakers who are harranging the people this fall. The latter says the Democratic party is responsible for the low prices of wheat. John Sherman in a speech to the Senate in June, 1894, says that overproduction is the cause. Read what he says: “Mr. President, I wish tp say a few words only, the truth of which is known to all the Senators who hear me. The condition of the farmer at this time is a verv harsh one, to say the least. All kinds of agricultural products have declined in value. It is because of the enormous production within the last few years. That has been brought about especially by developments in India, in Russia and in other countries of the world. Ou]y a few years ago, all within my active lifetime, the wheat and produce of the United States were shipped to all parts of Europe, and supplied their • wants entirely. Npw the people of • India have conte in as competitors s in the market. Since that time ; South America has been opened to ] active civilization. Australia, as J 5 said, has been opened, and it now supplies wheat as well as wool. I So with all the other countries in the world. India is made to supply wheat, a thing not dreamt of in the r olden times. Therefore the condit tion of the farmer at this time in a y harsh- one. It is difficult incfeed for i him to make both ends meet from , year to year or from day to day. 1 f know front my observation that the 1 farms of Ohio are not worth as e much to-day as they were thirty or forty years ago.”

' d The Democracy of Miami county is making extensive preparations fortheir event on Wednesday, Oct. 31, 1894'. - “There will be feasts of oratory, music and provender. Fifty barrels of clams, four tons of fish and one hundred head of sheep will be in the spread. Adlia E Stevenson, Vice-President, is expected to deliver a toast.

Broadway street will be the monster dining hall, reaching from the depot to the Wabash river, the sidewalks turned into galleries and the busi ness rooms for lobbies. The ceiling will be the canopy of heaven and the whole lighted by day with a generous sun and by night with three hundred arc electric lights suspended m double rows. Fifty, bands of music from as many different stands. Before 12 o’clock noon a grand march will move over the entire length of this wonderful panoramic scence, composed of fifty bands and one hundred uniformed marching clubs. The countless multitudes which have gathered about the spread within the great banquet hall will then partake of the elaborate menu. And such a menue as ye gods l|jk>uld smile upon! There will be clams, fresh, nutritious, the desserts of the sea, &rved in regular oldfashioned clam bake style steaming hot from the trenches and flavored with the delicious sweetness of the sea weed. Immediately after the menu will f »llow the grand democratic reunion and love-feast in which the virtues and wisdom ot democratic principles will be enunciated from a dozen, stands in the middle of the street and about the court house square. It will be a day long to be remembered by the countless thousands from the northwest, who will be present, and the fruits thereof be gathered therein by tjie common people.”

STRAUS WILL STICK. Rumor That He Would Withdraw From the New York Mayoralty Race Denied. New York, Oct. 18.—In spite of the determination of Senator Hili to permit the State Democracy to place the state candidates onhis ticket, Nathan Straus will not withdraw from the mayoralty race, as was for a time yesterday believed he would.

Straus fears that if the reform ticket is allowed to be headed by the Democratic state candidates ho will lose 20,000 votes in consequence.

Upper Sandusky, 0., Oct. 18.—Last night two neighbors, Hart and Black, sat up with Jack Greeno at Carey, who had had his leg amputated in a boiler explosion.
