A Republican Opinion. [Bt.Lonls Globe-Democrat, Rep.,May 23,1881.] ‘‘Blaine cannot carry the full strength of the Republican party, to begin with, and his repulsive, rotten record will repel the independent or detached voters. He is tin unclean man, and the people will not have him. To nominate him would be to court defeat. He stands self-con-vtoted of prostituting the high offices he has held to build up a private fortune." A BRIBE TAKER. If Dishonest Then, is He Honest t ,, Now? What a leading Republican paper now supporting Blaine thought of him in 1872: “The startling exposure of Speaker Blaine’s venality in connection with the Union Pacific Read, Eastern Division, entirely destroys, of course, whatever credit some people may have given his evasive denial of the Oakes Ames bribery, and puts the whole ease of the Credit Mobilise upon a different basis. * * * How it is shown that Speaker Blaine never deserved his good reputation. He had taken bribes in another ease.”—[New York Tribune, Slept. 30,1872. Only twelve days until the election.

Tiie Republicans crowed too soon this time. THE»local elections In Connecticut last week showed large Democratic gains. _ Michigan and Wisconsin ar^, hy tho best posted politicians, put down as doubtful states. It was a life and death struggle for the Republicans iii Ohio. Had they lost it, they would have lost all. Every monopolist is for Blaine. The workingmen support Cleveland. Each has a good reason for Ids choice. Indiana Democrats will not submit to such bulldozing tactics as did the Cincinnati Democrats from the Republican Deputy Marshals. Republicans ought not to talk any more about election frauds in the South. The Ohio Republicans can give the South some pointers. Won’t the Press come out frankly and tell its readers what Rlaiuo really meant when he wrote Fisher those omnious words “burn this letter ?” Toe New York Times says that, • Blaine has no more chance of gotting the electoral votes of New York than he has of getting those of Georgia. Col. Gray downed Major Calkins so badly in joint debate that the Major has been put ou a diet of weak beef tea ever since. He has laid up for repairs.__ The Republicans say their majority in Ohio must be reckoned from the vote for Congressmen. Well, the Democrats got the majority of tho Congressmen. _ The Democratic House of the 44th Congress, March 3,1876, passed a bill to equalize bounties, but it was indefinitely postponed and killod by a Republican senate. See record 44th Congress, first session,' page 5430.

Twice a Republican Senate baa killed the Arrears of Pension Act, and still the cross-road orators go howling through the land. “Tho Republican party is the soldiers friend.” If the Democrats of Indiana will do their full duty tho State can be carried next month by 10,000 majority. Let us make sure of that figure and yrork for as much iftoro as possib!e. •- Was the effort of Mr. Blaine to impose upon the country his own letter as one of Mr. .Fisher’s, an honest transaction? Wont our friend over the post-office please give us an answer? - The House of Representatives of 47th Congress was Republican. Not one measure of importance affecting the interest of the Union soldiers or sailors became a law during that Congress.

The House passed a bill May 23, 1878, increasing the pensions of persons who had lost arms below the elbow, or leg below tho knee. This biU died in the Republican Senate for want of action. The ring robbers and Treasury plunderers will make an almost superhuman struggle and die hard, but they will have to yield to the hosts who are ffiarehihg on their works under the banner of retrenchment and reform. _ It is not known whether or not a lot of white and black bummers are to be appointed deputy United States marshals to control and manage the election in this State next month, but if they arc it will be advisable to move all the available force of the United States army here at the same time. __ , When the eight hour rule was adopted in Congress for the benefit of the industrial classes in the public service, Blaine and Logan and Butler were all members, and not one of them opened his lips in defense of the measure—Hendricks, and Julian and Holman did. Which has tho best record? _ If Fisher had copied tho draft Blaine sent him, and burned thelatter containing such criminal request, everybody knows now ho would have sworn he never saw such draft and know nothing about it, that is the character of the man as fully established in more than a dozen instances by indisputable documentary proofs. _ The Republican Congress of 1865 passed a law on June 6th of that year, denying pensions to those soldiers who held civil offices under tho United States sin6c''the war. On May 24, 1878, the Democratic House, on motion of Hohf'A. V. Iiice, of Ohio, Democrat, passed* bill which became a law, repealing the unjust Republican law, of. 1865. “I see various channels iu which I know I can be useful.”—Blaiise to Fisher. “It will be to some extent a matter of favoritism as to who get9 the banks in tho several localities, and it will be “in my power to ‘cast an anchor to the windward’ in your behalf if you desire it.” “They are very profitable institutions.” “Burn this letter.”— Blaine to Fisher. Eveky monopolist in this country favors and is working for the election of Blaine. They have without exception contributed money lavishly to aid him in tho canvass. Of course they are all friends of tho workingman, and these are samples— Oh, we are four friends of the workingman; We raise down the wages whenever we can, AYo squeeze the market for all it will yield, Sage and Vanderbilt, Gould and Field. Let every voter in Pike county ask himself this question and let him also answer it at the forum of his conscience before lie casts his vote on the 4th of November: “Is a man who asked another to testify to an untruth to conceal violations of liis own official honor, and who intended to appeal to the testimony as an unsolicited act of justice, a fit person to bo elected President of the United States?”

This Republican National Convention at Chicago resolved that “we demand the speedy forfeiture of all laud grants which have lapsed by reason of non-compliance with acts of incorporation.’* The late Democratic House of Representatives forfeited 40,000,000 acres of such lands, but the measure failed, to pass a Republican Senate. Resolutions are cheap. Legislation is what the country demands. It was a great Democratic victory and Blaine will have a hard time of it to.keep Ohio in the lifle nextlUontli, because purchased votes arc not overburdened with loyality .and Dudleyonly brought his men for the October election. It will only take a change of about 5,000 votes to throw the State for Cleveland, and 5,000 votes do not represent half of Dudley’s purchase. Ohio is a doubtful State in November. _ The Democratic House of the 44th Congress passed a hill to equalize bounties, March 3,1876. General Banning, of Ohio, Democrat, said, in supporting the bill : “It is left for this, Democratic Congress to redeem the promises made by the other side” Republican, which have “never been kept.” ^ Tile bill pasted the House and was indefinitely postponed by the Republican Senate and thus hilled. Record, 44th' Congress, 1st session page 5,439. The lime for filing such claims was limited to January 30, 1875. Tho Democratic House of the 44th promptly passed a hill February, 1876, extending tho time, so that no soldier shouhl be barred by that act from obtaining his just dues.

What has become of the grand aud strong navy that was the pride of America aud the defeuse of her people, no Ling its condition when Republican rule set in, contrasted with Us condition now. Senatob Blaine's violent opposition to the Thurman Anti monopoly bill aud his vote against this just measure is enough to brand him as a tool in the hands of the Pacific Railway monopolies. Indeed his Republican colleague, Senator Edmunds, publicly charged him in consequence of the course he took on the Thurman bill with beiug tho agent and attorney of Jay Gould. Jobs Kelly called on Gov. Cleveland Thursday, and said: “Governor, I assure you that you will receive Tammany’s 50,000 votes, no matter what you may have heard to the contrary.” It is believed that the county Democracy and Irving Hall will indorse the Tammany ticket for local offices, aud that New York aud Kings county will give Cleveland and Hendricks 75,000 to 80,000 majority.

At Gannelton last Friday, where Senator Harrison and Hon. W. F. Townsend, of this place, sjtoke, a pole was erected between the towers on' the col.tou mill with a banner upon it inscribed: “No protection wanted here.” This was done by the authority of the owners of the mill, who employ more than five hundred operatives. This was rather rough on the Senator, with his high protective ideas.__ Rka'f.mbei: that the Republican majority in both houses of congress enacted the law legalizing and aiding the importation of contract labor; that this law was a virtual enactment of limited slavery, inasmuch as it empowered the makiug of; a contract by which a for^jn laborer could be bound for a year whereby to make good his passage money; and that this statute was adopted in order to assist in the breaking of tho wages of home labor. Most Republican newspapers in the i country wrote their comments on the effect of the Ohio election too soon. If a large Republican majority would mean encouragement to the Republican party does it not follow that a small majorit) and a loss of 20,000 or more over 1880 in Ohio, and an increased Democratic majority in West Virginia, will have a depressing influence on the Republicans aud a correspondingly encouragiug effect on the Democrats? That is one of the rules which must work both ways. It is a colossal pretense for the Republicans to rejoieo over the result in Ohio. If as Blaine himself said, tho vote in Ohio would be “a test of the average degree of Republican zeal in the country,” that same average throughout tho country will givo Cleveland 222 electoral votes and Blaine but 147. It is a dead moral certainty that Mr. Blaine doesn’t want any more of the Ohio average. No doubt can bo entertained of the object of tho Republican leaders in mowing the Blaine circus through Ohio on the ove of the October election, or of their further purpose in bringing the menagerie to this State. They hope by this “starring” expedition to influence the minds of the people by affectod triumphs and foolish exhibitions. They are taking ad'vantage of the fact that, in all cities and towns, there are venal and fickle persons who are led by noise, show and money, and who follow where the uproar is loudest and the show is biggest. They form an element inseparable from metropolitan society, and which furnishes the hirelings, the ward bummers and ballot box stnlfers of local politics. We do not believe, however, that these from an influential body, or that they arc even reliable to those who gaiu their support. We do not believe, further, that this dismal and contemptible attempt, with all its noise and parade, is going to greatly assist the political fortunes of the disreputable Republican candidate in the present juncture. The issue before tlio people is too plain, tot) prominent,! to be concealed or perverted by mere sound aud wind. Apart from all public questions, the character and record; of the. Republican candidate are assailed, the dishonorable acts he ha? committed are plainly laid befere the peopie. He has furnished the evidence for his own conviction, and he etui neither gainsay it nor refute it by any method ingenuity can suggest.

How It was Bouc. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] Never in the history of Cincinnati has there been a more bitter, a inor£ exciting political contest. All the arts of ingenious and unscrupulous partisans were resorted to. Busiuess was at a stand still all day, and every one, young and old, gathered about the polls. lu some places the streets were so blockaded that all traffic was stopped. The crack of the pistol was heard everywhere, and’kuock downs and shootings and cuttings were so common that after midday they ceased to be noticed. Probably the most disgraceful sight of this most disgraceful contest was the appointment by the Republicans of thousands of Deputy United Stages Marshals. The scums and the alleys of the city were raised over and all the ignorant, worthless and irresponsible negroes found were giycu a dub and a badge aud license to kill and bruise, there were sixteen of them at one precinct, and not one had a coat, aud two or three were almost without shoes. Most of them became drunk early iu the morning, and as the day advanced they became more insulting and aggressive. It was a common sight to see half a dozen of these half-clad wretches dragging respectable white Demoerats through tike streets, and loilking them up iu the Custom-house. * * * * It is almost a miracle that there was not a collision between the poopleand these diu nken negroes. That there was not speaks well for the moderation and judgement of Cincinnati Democrats.

THE ROBBER TAX. It is said that “The ltobber Tax,” called by Republicans “The Protective Tariff,” protects the laboring mau. This is about as just as it is !o carry the State of Ohio by imported negro Deputy Marshals, repeaters, thieves, liars, money, revolvers, and all other corrupt means that would cause even hell to blush. The high wages of laborers iu this country forced manufacturers, as they say, to call for | protection. It was conteuded in the start, and is contended now, that the wages of labor were so much higher in this country than in Europe that our manufacturers could not compete with the manufacturers of Europe un

loss our laws increased and hold up to a high point the price of articles manufactured in this country. 17e have iu this country all the raw materials and more iu abundance than they have in Europe, and they are cheaper hero than there. Hence the very object of protection is to protect our manufacturers against the high wages that wore demanded' and paid to our laboring men. Aiid protection increased the cost of livlug from 40 to 100 per cent. and increased the wages of laboring men in only a few instances, and then only from 5 to 20 per cent. The tariff cuts down the wages of laboriug men by increasing the cost of living in a far greater proportion than it does the wages of labor. In other words, the wages that laboring men receive to-day under high tariff will not purchase more than two-thirds as much of the nocessaries of life as did their wages from 1816 to 1860 under a tariff for revenue only. Again, the large profits given to the manufacturers by the high tariff have induced so many persons to enter the manufacturing field that there is an over-production, and this causes them to elose down for six months out of every twelve, so as to dispose of their stock on hand at their enormously high profits. And every time^thoy “elose down1' laboring men are thrown out of work. The way they “close down” is this, whenever they find they have an overstock of articles on hand, they reduce the wages of their laborers down below a living point and cause them to strike for higher wages, and thus lay the blame on them for having to “close down.” Look at the poor starving minors of the Hocking Valley, who have been out of employment for more than six months, and whose wives and children have been suffering during all that time for the necessaries of life, ’ aud then tell me that your protection protects the laboring man. The owners of those mines are protected by a tariff of 75 ceuts on tho ton of coal, and yet they “elose down” because the poor miner refuses to labor for 50 cents per ton. The owners of the mines want their coal mined without paying anything out of their own pockets and want to pocket oue-tliird of the tariff besides. Those who maintain that the tariff protects the laboring men, exhibit either au alarming degree of ignorance or falsehood. The falseness of such a theory is patent upon itfe face.. Manufacturers say wages are too high, and we must have protection. A protective tariff law is passed. Then they say Jtho tariff has made wages higher and our manufactured articles cheaper. If protection reduces the price of their products and increases the wages of tho laborer, where is the protection to the manufacturer? And vet every manufacturer in tho land wants tho high tariif continued. And the fact that thov

arc clamoring lor its continuance proves that they lie when they say it cheapens their productions and increases wages. Look at the enormous strikes all over this country. Strikes among railroad employes," telegraph operators, coal miners, iron moulders, aud in every department of labor. Why these strikes? Because the wages are so low aud the cost of living so high that laboring men can not satisfy the hunger of wives aud children and clothe their nakedness. And while this is so, the manufacturers are living like lords, in the most costly houses, elegantly furnished, and dressing in broad clothes, silks and satins, loaded down with costly jewelry, riding in fine carriages, and their tables groaning under the weight of the choice viands of the land, spending their summers at the watering places, and traveling iu Europe, and looking with disdain upon the laboring man. Why is this ? Because this Robber Tax rob3 the laboring man by making him pay an increased price ftjr all the necessities of life, and the increase goes into the pockets of the manufacturer. A certain ignoramus calls the protective tax the “American System.” England had a high protective tariff for two hundred years before the revolution of 1776, and they continued it down to 184(5, when she b^gan to abolish it, and did so entirely in 1860. The Republican" party takes up the theory and practice that governed and impoverished England for more than 250 years, and then it is called the “American System.” This sounds like the braying of the fool who denies that the Supreme Court of tins country ever decided that a tariff’ for any purpose than revenue was unconstitutional and void. The wages ol the laboring men and women of England were lower, and their misery arising from waut and destitution greater by far when she was under protection than they have ever been since she adopted free trade. Every student of history knows this. In Germany, where protection is highest, the wages of her laborers are far lower and their misery far greater than among the laborers of free trade England. Now, Mr. Editor, in the few articles I have given you for publication I have, as you. and the people know, discussed principles and not men. I have abused no one, but have in my humble way presented what I and a groat^many intelligent and good people believe to bo the truth. And let me say in conclusion that I can not be drawn into any personal discussion by the filthy insinuations of a man who is so justly ashamed of his own name; and who, as his past and present life attest, stands on the lowest round of the ladder in all that pertains to morals, decency' and truth. And let me further say that foul emanations from that source can not in the least deter me from expressing my convictions both from the platform and through the press. i j E.A.E. *

$49,025.14! The ExoeCFignrcs of the Comity Indebtedness, which Show How Badly the Press has Lied.

The Press has had much to say in praise of the county commissioners for their economical^?) administration of county affairs. Some time ago the Democrat published the facts and figures, showing that for two years the affairs of the county have been extravagantly managed; that the eounty debt had increased at an alarming rate, we showed that ft'om 1878 to 1882, under a Democratic administration, that the debt was decreased from $35,000 to $28,000,' and that the debt from 1882 to June 1st, 1884, under a Republican administration, had increased to over $40,000. The Press published a report prepared by Messrs. Taylor and Fleeuer, of all the outstanding orders June 1st, 1884. The report of Messrs Taylor and Fleenerwas correct; but it was what it purported to be, viz.: “The amount of the outstanding orders June 1st, 1884,” without computing the interest on the orders; or iu other words, it was the principal of thd debt only, represented by the county orders then issued. Now, to arrive at the exact amount of the county debt, take the outstanding orders as shown by Taylor & Fleoner’s report, as published in the Press of last week, add to them the interest, at 6,per cent from the date of their issue to June 1st, 1884. Then to that amount add all the allowances by the Heal'd at its June session, as it is part of the debt up to that time. The following are the outstanding orders for the several .fiscal years from 1867 to 1883 inclusive—the principal of the county debt and the interest thereon, to which is added the June, 1884, allowances. The total is the county indebtedness June, 1,1884. Fiscal year of Issue.

Tax-payers, this is a question we are all interested in, and you should carefully investigate it. The above is correct. Y«u can read and judge for yourself. Do you propose to continue men in office (Johnson, present commissioner, is a candidate for re-election) who have managed the county funds in this bad manner ? You can see how plain it is, County indebtedness in 1882, under a Democratic administration—r$28,000 i 1884, under a Republican administration over $49,000—note the difference and that the debt will continue t<: increase under the preset state of affail's.

How Watch This process of manufacture i by James Boss, who started in business in 1354, ami the methods and tools used in making these watch cases am cowered by patents. This is the only watch ease mode under this process. For many years the introduction of these goods was slow, owing to popular prejudioo against “plated” goods, but gradually the public learned that the James Boss’ Gold Watch Case Was not a cheap gold-washed or electro-plated article^ but was made of genuine gold plates oil standard quality and thickness.
