John J. Ingals, ex seuator from Illinois is sending out hot shot Ipto the republican camp about blocking legislation. And still cross-road editors of small calibre would have the people believe that the democrats arc responsible tor the low price ot wheat, the high price of corn, and the labor strikes, the wrecking of a number of banks and the hot and cold weather. Not a single candidate upon the republican ticket wants a square issue made upon local politics. They know that it would keep them from now until the year 1900 to explain away all the obstacles thrown into the cpmp. But county politics will not be lost sight of and they may as well prepare for the fight now. Get a ready the ball will open up in a short time. Our republican friends are kept hobnobbing together by day and by night during the past two or three weeks. The extra called meetings in which the ring is now taking an extraordinary part is not calculated to bring about harmony among the. masses of the people of Pike county. The ring must be smashed and the votes ot Pike county will do it in November without regard to politics. Herman Berghoep, of Ft. Wayne, who is frequently mentioned as a democratic candidate for State treasurer, and whom the republicans recently quoted as having eschewed democracy, has written a letter to the .Richmond Palladium, in which he says: “I am a democrat in principle, and shall be such as long as there is a fighting chance left for the demtv cratic party to carry into effect these principles. Whenever you can successfully mix oil and water, you may be able to mix my democratic ideas with republican doctriues.”

sometimes happeus that a newspaper publishes a very complimentary notice concerning a man who really does not deserte the space devoted to him. This is taken as a matter ^of course and is expected, but the editor is not benefited by it. It also sometimes happens that a newspaper by mistake gently stirs up a man who deserves a coat of tar and feathers. How different the result. That man, find birds of the same tribe, immediately raise a great howl, and shout, f‘we’U stop the paper!” But they don't. They only cease taking what in many instances they did not pay tor. But they borrow the paper all (he same, and continue to read it, Oub neighbor of the Press is growing flighty on the questions now be* fore the people of Pike county. It points with pride to the fact that the town trustees of Petersburg reduced the rate of taxation four per cent. That's glorious news to the people of Petersburg, and they are also aware of the tact that at the meeting ot that body they resolved to issue n $2 500 in bonds to take up the floating debt incurred during the past three years. Is this good management or what ? The decrease in taxation made by the board will cost the tax-payers of the town hundreds of dollars in interest. It sometimes does not become the right to thing point with pride to a decrease in taxation. To make matters right and to secure the necessary funds with which to pay the legitimate running expenses of the town an additional levey of fifty cents should be made. Xhis is a sample of republicanism.

HAS TARIFF VIEWS. Col. A. L. Conner, one of * lie leading republicans of Ohio, and who i» now seeking the uomiuation lor vicepresident, has some views on the tariff not in harmony with the McKinley tariff laws. He is largely interested in the tin plate and plate glass industries in the gas belt and probably knows as much about tariff and its workings as any man in the country- This will not' be interesting reading to some of our republican friends but it may give them an idea that they have signally failed in giving any protection whatever to the farmer and laboring man. and from what Conger has to say the manufacturers has entirely too much. To be brief he is against McKinley and his bill. The followina is taken from the Cincinnati Enquirer of last Satur

day : Garfield said In the repnbllcan national convention of 1880, and it has been the law of the party ever since, that every republican should have the right to criticise the action of the party leaders, and went so far as to sav that he should not be ostracised or read out of his party, if, for good reasons, he could not vote for his party candidate. I have been educated as a high protectionist, but have been engaged in business in some of the leading lines of manufacture of this couutry for a number of years, and during that time have learned some things by expeiience which have changed my views upon the tariff question. X So far as the McKinley bill j,s concerned we lost the campaign in ^ upou this issue. The republican party is for protection. The country has prospered under it, but as we haye grown older we have needed less protection. We meant in our national platiorm in 1880, or at least, it was the interpretation put upon it by the party that Jwe had now reached a point in our history when we could afford to make reductions in the tariff. This was so stated by onr speakers on the stump aud by the republican press, but when we put forth the McKinley bill we violated the pledges of the party, increased duties, then we went forth to battle upon the proposition and were beaten. Now it would be political suicide to start out upon the proposition in *96 We will take, for instance, the subject of binder twine^ There are three hundred millions of capital invested in the manufacture of agricultural implements and farm machinery in this country, giving employment directly and indirectly to more than three hundred thousand of America's laboring men. Whatever is good for the American farmer, and will advance his interests is good for the interests of the manufacturers of agricultural machinery and their employes. Their prosperity must go hand in hand. Many of the leadiug manufacturers of agricultural implements were opposed to a duty on binder twine. By request I went before Major McKinley when be was framing his bill aud asked that no* duty be placed ou binder twine and explained to him the reasons why it would be against the interest of the republican party and the people to put a duty upon it, but the duty went on. The binder trust were manu

fact uriug sisal twine, which cost four cents a pound manufactured, and it was being sold to the farmer at 14,15 and 16 cents—300 or4C0 per cent above its cost. The trust, with perhaps six or seven millions invested has been paying dividends on a capital over of thirty millions. Now there is not a farmer in the United States, if he understands his interests, who will vote for any bill which perpetuates^such an injustice upon him. There is not a merchant, business mau or manufacturer outside of *he trust iu the Uuited States who is interested in pepetuating such au injustice. Our friends (the enemy) turned this matter against us in great shape in the the last campaign. Again, 1 am interested in manufacturing in different lines. In looking over the pay rolls we find the wages paid in the agricultural business, giving employment to this great army ot people, and in which Akron is largely interested, an average of $2 25 for skilled labor. We pick up "the pay rolls in another industry and find in that line the McKinley bill has raised the duty until it stands at 150 per cent. The wages for skilled labor on the pay roll average five times what they, are in the other. Now I know ot other instances where the skilled labor averages from $10 to $15 and $20 per day. This is unamerican. If the laboring man in the agricultural business wants to build a -house he must pay for the material that comes from the other labor upon a basis five or six times higher than what he is getting for hi9 labor. And I am opposed to the kind of protection that discriminates in this

way, and that is what the McKinley j bill doe*. There are sources of wrongs and inconsistencies in the bill aud it is all wrong for Governor McKinley and. his friends to undertake to commit the republican party to a proposition that will lead us to sure defeat in 1896. It is not a crime for republicans to differ upoh these propositions, and some one in our state should speak out for the republican party. Personally, I stand upon the tariff question where the republican national convention left it in’88— revision “downward.” We have now a population of 65,000,000, and we shall soon have a population of 100,000.000. Th^people of this country do not propose to see Rilver knocked out, and we want tariff reductions as fast as the safety of the business interests will warrant. We want that kind of protection that will deal justly and fairlv with ail classes of American labor. We do fiot want protection that will foster trusts. We waut the McKiuley bill revised upon the lines mapped out by James G. Blaine; such a policy that will give us a line

of Aroerlcanfsteamships from American ports to every country in the world, such a protection as will start the wheels of every mine and manufacturing establishment throughout the country. At present there is something radically wrong when 160,000 miners are out and business is at a standstill. It is now time for us to look to the future. At present the republican party is out and the democratic party is in. We want to get back iuto power, and we want to get in npou a line of policy that will continue us in success when we do get in. It is not a question of who shall hold the offices, but of statesmanship. The committees now visiting Washington in behalf of ditierent industries all conceed reduction from the McKinley bill. We must now commence to build for the future. The manufacturers, farmers and laboring men, wheh they come to the true tacts and underlying principles, will favor revision of the McKinley bill. We must not forget that the laws nuder which we are living to-day were passed mainly by the republican party. Whether or not these laws are responsible for the present situation it is quite likely that the recent panic would have come even though president Harrison had been re-elected, but from this time forward we should take counsel together, and our platform in *96 should be for protection to American labor and American industries, and upon a line that will do no injustice to any one. In other words, our experience of the oast should b« our guide for the future. What we want at this time is open, free and fair discussions upon t'tese questions.lt is ape mbarrassment to our friends in congress, and will be an embarrassment to every member of congress who runs upon the ticket inour state this fall.. If some farmer sitting on the back seat should rise and ask the candidate if he was in favor of perpetuating the twine trust, what a box the candidate would be put in. If some silver man should rise on the back seat and ask an interpretation of the silver plank another embarrassment would arise. We should Dot dodge or straddle any question, but stand squarely to the great work before us.”

The Press got off a joke last week that has-cob-webs all over it. Just to think that the democratic party has to bear the burden of the decreased assessment of the personal property of Pike county. If our neighbors mean it as a joke it’s all right. But the idea that the democratic party is responsible for the shortage is ridiculous in the extreme. The People have been getting rid of as much personal property as possible in orSerjto have enough money to pay the coming taxes in Pike county, which will, no doubt be increased, unless the party bosses should step in and htfVe the matter deferred until another year for political effect. Taxes must be increased to meet the obligations. Just wait until the rate is raised by the town board in order to meet the outstanding orders and other expenses. Holy Smoke! Hardly a day passes but what several people accost us with words of approval for the manner in which we are publishing our paper. Now this may be all well enough but it is not the way to show appreciation for a newspaner. It takes money to pay paper bills and compositors, and if a paper is worth your trouble to rail the attention of its proprietor to its merit it is worth the price ot subscription. A single one tweplv-five is a small affair but if each person who appreciates our paper would pay for a year’s subscription it would go a great way in helping The Democrat and the cause of true democracy j along. If von have not the money and are worthy of credit we will give it to you, but the cash is always

desirable. The Democrat is the largest aud best paper published in the county. Repubi.ica.x senators are still blocking legislation in the Senate by their nonsensical speech making. Nevertheless the new tariff bill will pass the senate sometime during the next two weeks. It is expected that the tariff measure will be sent to the house by the first of'Julv. Thejre has been a fluctuation in the amount of the annual disbursement on account of pensions and in the list of pensioners from 1861 to 1890, but the number of pensioners is greater to-day by 90,000 than it was last year, greater by 290,000 than it was in 1891 and three times as great as it was in 1884. There has been a steady increase in the number of pensioners each year, as well as in the amouut paid for pensions since 1879. The present administration paid $158,000,* 000 for pensions, which was $17,0CQ,000 more than was paid in 1892, and $40,000,000 more than was paid in 1891.
