The democrats aro making a notable
campaign in Ohio. Republican lead
ers aro becoming desporato and Mr.
BIgolow and Tom L. Johnson aro
pushing the light at every opportunity.
C. E. Beteher, democratic nomlneo
for congress In tho Tenth Ohio district,
wrote an Interesting letter of accept
ance from which this oxtract Is taken:
Whllo tho party is placed In oppo
sition to tho practices of our oppo
nents, It does not stop at a mere dec
laration of Its opposition. It pro
poses remedies. It would restore to
tho government its constitutional right
"to coin money, and regulato tho val
ue thereof," and Instead of a bank
note currency, basod on tho borrowed
credit of the government, It would
give to the people a government mon
ey of gold and silver.
The old theory of protection was,
that while the tariff protected our own
manufacturers against tho outsider,
home competition reduced tho price of
manufactured goods to a fair bateis; so
that we secured the double advantage
of protecting our Infant industries and
securing to our people tho advantage
of reasonable prices. When tho demo
cratic party declared that tho system
would produce monopolies or "trusts,"
the argument was met with tho above
plea, that home competition prevented
such a result.
Time has fully vindicated tho demo
cratic theory. Tho so-called infant in
dustries have assumed gigantic pro
portions, and while holding, through
an unjust tariff and absolute mastery
of our own markets and our own peo
ple, they are selling their products
abroad in competition with tho pauper
labor of Europe ,'at lower prices than
to our own people.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
Tho following table shows tho foreign
and domestic prices on several articles
manufactured bytbe trusts:

I an opposed, as is the party I rep
resent, to a system, which builds up
one Industry or class to tho disadvant
age of other industries and the body
of tho people, and which accords to
foreigners bettor trade advantages
than aro extended to our own people
It is but fair to the people of this
district that my position on public
questions be frankly stated.
I am in favor of bimetallism, as de
manded In our last national platform;
and as between a bank note curroncy,
and a government currency, I prefer
tho latter.
I am for tariff for revonuo only, be
cause tho government has no moral
right to tax one industry or class for
tho benefit of any other industry or
clasn, and because such a system
builds up trusts and monopolies.
I am in favor of granting to the
Filipinos absoluto independence, and
of extending to them the same treat
ment as was given to the Cubans.
I am In favor of courts of arbitra
tion, with power to compel capital and
labor to submit their differences to
such courts fend to abide by their de
cisions. In short, I indorse pur last national
and state platforms.
If elected, the people of this district
will know what to expect from me. If
defeated, I shall enjoy tho satisfac
tion of knowing that I did not en
deavor to steal into office by means of
deception or false promises.
A Small Deposit.
The nomination for congress of W.
R. Hearst, owner of the New York
American and Journal, recalls a story
of his advent to New York, when ho
purchased the Journal, a sixth-class
newspaper at that time. Hearst was
provided with a letter of introduction
to the president of one of the leading
banks of the city. In due course Hearst
presented his letter and after some
delay was ushered into the august
presence of the man of finance. The
bank president read the letter hurried
ly and inquired rather petulantly:
"Well, what can I do for you?"
"Oh, nothing particular," said
Hearst; "I wanted to make a small de
posit and my friend volunteered to
give mo a letter of introduction to
you."
"You know," said the president,
glancing at his watch suggestively,
"that we do not take small deposits.
How much did you want to deposit?"
"Oh, about $3,000,000," said the young
man quietly and indifferently, as if it
amounted to 30 cents. "What!" gasped
the financier. Tho young man repeated
the amount deprecatingly and tho
financier proceeded to coddle up to
him and had his name put up at the
club. The moral of this story is that
It is always well to have a little loose
change In your pocket
what relationship existed betweon hlra
and Agulnaldo. His reply was: "Ho
as Kossuth and Garibaldi and Osclus
latlon to the editor of the democrat
as Kossuth and Garlbald and Koscius
ko and those brave men or our own
country who fought for liberty." Tho
answer sums up the gospel of tho
fatherhood of God and tho brother
