13T0FFICIAL PAPER OFOITY AND CO.
NAPOLEON,, OHIO, JANUARY 25th, 1894,
All Farmers' Associations to Unite in
a Non-Secret Confederation.
The Nalioual Farmers' Alliance in
convention at Chicago lias taken the
first step towards a confederation of
agricultural uhions tliroushout the
United States. A definite plan of or
ganization, to induce the five promi
nent orders of this country, was adop
ted and a committee appointed to se
cure its adoptions by the other unions.
The organization, will be called the
"Farmers' Union," and the alliance
men are confident that it will receive
the hearty indorsement of every sec
tion of agricultural Interests. Persons
at the head of the goverment have giv
en out the information that they al
ready had received the tacit indorse
ment of the Grange, the Farmers' Mu
tual Benefit association and the Pat
rons of Industry. The Farmers' Union
will be incorporated uqder the laws of
Illinois, and it is expressly provided
that it. shall be a non-secret organization-
As a corfliuiHee t to hasten the
Udoplioil of this plan by the other or
ders there were appointed' E. J. Rye,
West Bianoh, la.; Milton George, CuU
cago, and Wells Purvis, Cardington, 0.
This looks very much as though the
Farmers' Union would gobble up the
Patrons of Industry in a maunersome
tliing like the Patrons absorbed the
Grange.
Brighter Days Will Oawu.
It should be remembered that the
McKinley tariff, which was going to
make everybody rich and happy, is
still in operation. Although Its advo
cates declare that the higher-than-war
tariff was for the benefit of the work
ingman, wage reductions began as soon
as that law was enacted. The decline
has been continuous ever since until
a period of depression was reached that
has only been surpassed by the war-
tariff panic of 1873. However, tariff
reform is near at baud, when brighter
and better days will dawn. The Mc
Kinley monopoly tariff was for the en
richment of a favored few. The Wil
son relief bill is for the benefit of the
people. The present administration,
and the people of the country as well,
had to begin the new. year with the
McKinley tariff law still upon their
shoulders, but before lorur that law will
have been repealed and the American
industries which have been forced to
shut down will be able to compete
with foreign manufactures In every
market in the world. 77
The Columbus DUpatcha exceeding
wroth because teu porters have been
appointed In the Senate at $3.50 a day
each. . That isn't much for a reform
Senate. It doesn't cost much each day
to run that dignified body. Lets
there are six clerks at $5 a day each
$30, Six sergeant-at-arms and a cloak
watcher, same per diem, $35. Ten port
ers at $3.50, $35. Nine pages at $2.50
$22.00; total $125.50 per day. The peo
ple take their choice at the election and
they pay their naobey afterwad. That's
aimple enough, (Tbat' Republican
economy, says the Zanesville Signal, '
A Columbus correspondent of the
Toledo Blade that apeak of Rep. J. F,
Meyer of thl county:
"Hon. Jacob Meyers ie now aervlDfr.
bla second term a toe Democratic
member from Henry county. Mr.
M event la a farmer, and is looked upon
hew a a member who does his duty
to the state. He rarely speak and in
troduce but few bills. Nobody ques
tion bis Democracy, and there is ucb
a Republican majority here tbat Demo
cratic principle do not tnnve,
Ik high protection has been such a
boon to the labor of thia country, a
the Signal insists, how doe it come
that labor is so restless and is only em-
nlnyed a part of Its time? Under the
system of a tariff law before the late
rebellion, strikes were an unheard of
thing in this country. While now, in
high protective times, strikes are at
most of daily occurrence. This con
dition of things alone should convince
any reasonable mind that something is
nalnsblv wrong. We believe the
wrong to be the protective tariff. Now
what does the Signal believe it to be.
Tjiobe who oppose the Income tax
seem In think It better that the poor
pay all the taxes than that millionaires
ht tempted to commit perjury. :
When the Republicans speak of the
vast increase of wealth of the United
States in the last ten years, they
should be honest enough to point out
who has it. Nobody will deny that
we have increased in wealth In the
last ten years; we have increased every
ten since we became a government.
But the last ten has done what no
other ten ever did, it has put all that
increase in the pockets of the few, and
taking it out of the pocke's of the
many, so that In ten years the rich
have grown richer, while the laborer
and the farmer have grown poerer.
The farmer and laborer made the
wealth, but the millionaire and manu
facturer have it.
To our brothers of the press who have
so kindly mentioned us In connection
with the reoeut consolidation of the
Northwest and Aeif we extend
thanks with a hope that they may all
experience prosperity in theirbusiness,
as they have wished us. While we
should like to record all of their say-
ngs, our modesty forbids, but we will
throw a veil over it just long enough
to reproduce the following from tbat
good old stanch advocate of Democrat
ic principals the Tiffin A dvertiBcr In
the, office of which we spent twelve
years of our newspaperexperience:
"The Advertiser is pleased to note
the evidences of prosperity that its
pupil Luther L. Orwig, editorand pro
prietor of the Napoleon Northwest,
exhibited when he purchased his com
petitor, the Mum, ana consolidates me
two naners. Orwisr Is publisrnrur an
excellent paper and Democratic to the
ore.
High tariff on lumber has caused the
wood-chopper of Michigan to revel in
their hovels on wages less than a dollar
a day. High duty on coal has innun
dated Western Pennsylvania with
Hungarians working at starvation
wages. High tariff on crockery has
resulted in 40 per cent, reduction of
wages, and yet the cry of Mammon for
recruits from the ranks of the toilers
meets with ready response. ' When, oh
when, will the criminal blindness of
the masses becured. The puresystcm,
given us by our fore-fathers, providing
for incidentally fostering industries
while levying'taxation, has become
perverted until to-day the masses are
taxed higher than the serfs of Russia.
When Lincoln lifted up his prophetic
voice warning the nation of the danger
from concentracted wealth he sounded
the alarm which should be reverberat
ing to day from ocean to oceau.
Hon. John W. Winn has introduced
in the House a joint resolutlou which
provides for submitting to the people
the proposition of so changing the con
stitution that laws passed thereafter
by the general assembly shall be en
dorsed by the people "before going into
effect. This would apply not only to
general, but to local laws, and whether
by petition from the people there was
shown a difference of opinion among
the voters as to the merits or demerits
of a proposed measure i t should be en
dorsed at the polls before it becomes a
law. Defiance News.

Ed. Northwest: I desire, by your
permission, to say a few words with
reference to the following, published
in the Northwest under date of Jan.
18th. 1894:
"Ed. Northwest: Sir I would
like to reply to the article in your pa
per about the death of Peter Witbam,
who died in the Napoleon jail last
Friday at 11 o'clock a. m. He was
forcibly ' taken from his wife and
daughter on the Friday previous to his
death bv the sheriff under orders of
Dr. T. M., Gehrett. He was taken
from his sick bed aud taken to Hoignte
by train and then across the country
in a buggy, and his family wpre not in
formed of his condition after he was
taken away, so that his wife nor chil
dren could be with him at his Inst
uioinHiits. YouM, ' L. E. S." .
To those who are acquainted with
the circumstances in the above cited
case, it perhaps seems a waste of time
to pay any attention to this siily bab
ler who signes "L. E. 8.'? But, Inas
much that all the readers of the
Northwest are not, 1 will explain.
Peter Witham bad been demented
for some time previous to his being
taken to Napoleon by the sheriff. I t
is only a few month since he attempt
ed to kill his wife with a butcher
khife, and if her testimony is to be be
lieved, she was ia constant fear and
danger of being Injured, If not killed.
That this man was insane and wholly
irresponsible I have no doubt. The
nature aud cause of which, I shall not
stop to discos here. Tbla nil la
question together with ht wife aod
a boo aoooi iweDif-egx wears or age
wwfwoojecuoienamy. This support
cam mainly through a son, C. 8.
itham, and relief furnished by the
township trustees. Some time In Dec,
ii", n cam to in noma or bis son,
C. 8, Witham. and remained with him
until he was Uken to Napoleon by the
sheriff. The son's wife being in poor
besltb at this time; was in constant
fer of being injured by the old gentle
man. riDe alleges that snoo after bis
coming to their bouse, he attempted
to striae her with an iron stove poker.
C. 8. Witham knowing fain father to
oe irresponsible for any of his acts.
and under theclrcunistanceseould not
give him proper care and attention.
and too notwithstanding the fact it was
explained to him and the family
that from the very nature of his
father's condition he could not live
many months at monr. he determined
to lake advantage of the law which
provides ror the care or such canes.
This be had it moral and legal right to
do. After a mutual understanding and
consent or the family, John Jamison
he father-in-law of C. 8 Witham,
made the necessary affidavit to bring
the case before the probate court. This
affidavit was executed before J. M. Pat
terson a (tistice ot the peace, who for
warded the same to the probate Judge.
A warrant was issued bv the court aud
placed in the bauds of the sheriff to
arrest this man and bring him into
court on the charge of insanity. This
warrant was duly executed by the
sheriff, and Peter Witham was brought
into court, duly examined, adjudged
Insane and ordered to be taken to the
asylum at Toledo.
On account of bis aire and Incurable
condition, he was refused admission
and returned to Napoleon where he
died as stated. Thus it is how this
man happened to be in the Napoleon
jail wheu he died.
l dont see why any one should be re
proached in this matter. I believe what
was done for this unfortunate man was
done in good faith and thought to be
cue nest for him and all concerned.
Why thia erudite(?) correspondent
should represent to the public that a
great injustice has been done this faru
iiy and that 1 am responsible foe the
same, l am unable to understand, u.
E. 8. was certainly in gross ignorance
of the facts in this matter, or willfully
and maliciously prevaricated.

these other fctatos pay be War salaries for
the chief officers of their state colleges
than does Ohio. As Dr. Scott is very
iikely to leave, and' is in fact axsious to

The New Comrtiittce on Taint:,
provided for tmdet the amended house
rules will have at its head Mr. Griffen,
who has occupied a prominent place in
state legislation for many years. This
committee will attempt to bring iuto the
state treasury some additional and much
needed cash. Thef state has been run
ning behind for" 'several years, because
the utate has been growing and iis iusti-
;u3 have been enlarged and increased
;:nber; at the same tims no increase
.;;);.- very great importance in the rere
nut.s has boen provided for. The result
waa inevitable.' Tlie real cost of running
the state frovoriup.it ia less , per persoii,
which is the only tme method of maltin"
comparisons, than it was 20 years ago!
The revenues have not kept pacs with
the expenses, and the shortage was bonnd
to coine at last. The large sluu of money
received from the general government on
tho direct tax bill several yoaisarro aided
materially to reduce the real ifflebted
ness.of the stats. At the same time
ndthing has been dona to get at the real
difficulty, namely, to make a permanent
addition to the revenues; - This commit
tee is charged with this especial duty,
and if it keeps away from esrwrimental
legislation and goes ahead in tracks al
ready made Sfrc, the desired increase
may be brought fo;th. -
The Nichols law. taxing telegraph
companies and other corporations, is now
in the supreme court of tho United States,
and a decision is not looied for until
after the present session of the legislature
Is over, so that it is not known whether
or no other tasf s may bo levied in n like
manner. If it should turn out that the
law is upheld the state will have a chance
to increase ils revenue a half million of
dollars without half trying. -
No National Gnar, Encampment.
It looks now vury'nrach as if the state
encanipnif nt of the national guard for
this year would be abandoned. This will
be looked upon as a hardship by the sol
dier boys of the state, but there seoins to
be no other way to do. Tho saving will
be in the neighborhood of $100,000, and
i large sum will be necessary to buy new
aniforms. The subject is being careful
ly considered by the members of both
louses, and if a wuy can be found to

This Should Interest You.
The times are out of joint; trade has been y
quiet; the times have been against it; many
goods which, under ordinary circumstances
; would have sold quickly, are now lying upon m
our shelves and counters; our bills are coming l
due mist be met this month mofley must W
be raised at once, and the only way to raise it S
is to turn our goods into money.
Yes, the Goods Must Go J
. ' ' : k
this month, but to make them go quickly we p
realize that our prices must be exceptionally II
low. We cannot expect your trade unless we p
give you better values than you can get else ff
, where. ; ' ;
That our Prices are Lower,
quality considered, a thorough inspection of
our stock will convince you. In undertaking m
this salo we know full well that the loss will be t
considerable, but necessity compells .us to' S
. stand this -loss. Whether you want anything in g
Dry Goods, Carpets, ;
Cloaks, Shawls, Blankets, Underwear, Hosiery,
uloves, Mittens,
or Shoes,
Clothing, Hats, Caps, Boots
Now is the Time to Buy,
for never before have the goods been offered
at such low prices; and we hope we will never
again be'forced to stand such a sacrifice. ,
