The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1874-05-07

A BELLIGERENT NEWSPAPER Every
thing appears to go wrong with the Gin
clnnati Enquirer. 1t don't like Thurman,
1t don't like our Democratic Legislature
and has made every possible drive and
I~nslnuation at it, and it don't like Grants
veto OF the imitation bill. The Pittsburgh
Post is authority for saying the Enquirer
is the only Democratic newspaper that is
displeased about the veto. 1t hlngs at
Thurman that che is keeping nice politi-
cal company by endorsing that Veto" and
yet it has apparently lost sight of the fact
that the same veto caused Logan, Morton,
Ben. Butler, and May other beasts of the
Republican menagerle, to wiring their
hands and tear their shirts. We have yet
to hear of one Democrat in Carroll county
who does not endorse our able Senator
the uoblest Thurman of them all."-Car-
roll Chronicle.
The Democrats Of Stark county and very
many of the Republicans admire Judge
Thurman on account of his high character
and eminent ability, and for his sound
views on matters and things in general.
The Enquirer approves of the financial
views of Ben. Butler, Morton and Com
pany, in fact, sides with a Radical Con-
gress This is the paper, organ () that
denounces Senator Thurman, because he
does not vote with Morton, Butler & Co.,
and abuses a Democratic Legislature. The
lofty airs the Enquirer assumes is quite
confoundIng to people of moderate pre-
tensions.

Solution of the Financial PrDblea,

The Elyria Democrat holds the following
sound sentiments. That paper says:
We believe that our financial condition
will never be improved until the business
men Of the country cease looking to Con-
gress at every session for some legislation
that will make money more plenty, and
resolve to work out the problem with no
other aid than that which results from The
safe and unerring laws Of trade. Congress
attempts to regulate too much. Let BUS
mess alone and II Will regulate itself, be
cause it will purify itself.
"If Congress will let the financial ques-
ton alone, it viii solve ITSELF"
This is what the senior editor of the
Cleveland Herald says and it is precisely
what the great mass Of the people believe.
Business men DO not want their calcula-
tons disturbed by annually tinkeriDg with
the laws regulating the currency. They
want the stream to move uniformly; nell
Their periodically drying up and leaving
every craft on the bottom, nor rushing,
torrent-like, over its proper bounds and
driving every craft from its ~moorings. It
is a maxim of law that the certainty Of
punishment IS more eHectual in prevent
ing crime, than its severity. So of trade
and commerce. Men want to know what
they can depend upon, and especially in a
country where business is transacted on a
paper basis which huctuates in value with
every new law affecting il. Let the fnan-
cial question alone, if we ever expect to
touch bottom an a specie basis, without a
crash that will ruin the entire debtor class.

WE shall have the learned and wise old
men Of the Cincinnati Enquirer select a
Legislature for the State. We are salts
fed the Democracy cannot please them.
That paper in speaking of the Legislature
says the majority was a dissonant flock of
boys who never could agree upon any
question, and adds:
at has rendered little valuable service
TO the party responsible for its actions or
TO the people of Ohio, on whose behalf it
has been acting. 1t has frittered away
the money of the people in abortiye at
tempts to make a pretense of doing some
thing. 1t has worked about two or three
days a week. 1t has added scarcely any
thing of value to the statutes of the State.
1t has certainly done nothing which could
not have been done in 80 days as well as
in l00
AS the darkey girl said, smart and tic
ular folks are hard to please 1t is some
comfort that our Legislature was not cor
ruptsand did no harm. Let our readers
peruse two articles in this paper vindica-
ting the Legislature.

H REP. & REP.

OF last week contained the farewell of
JOSIAH HARTzELL, Esq, for years the ed
itor of that paper. Mr.. HARTzELL gives.
in his two column article, a history of his
editorial career-his becoming proprietor
of the Republican IN 1859 when that pa
per was struggling for a doubtful exist
enco, and the merging of the two Repub-
lican organs a few years ago, by which, to
preserve the identity of both, the name
Repository and Republican was adopted
Mr.. HARTzELL has been an industrious
active newspaper man and made his jour
nal readable and popular as a party organ.
In a pecuniary point Of view too, as a
publisher, Mr.. HARTzELL has by no
means made a failure. We have splintered
many a lance, hurled from our respective
tripods, with Mr.. HARTzELL, and must
say, in parting with him, we have ever
found him a sharp opponent but usually
mindful of what became a gentleman. We
wish him abundant prosperity in whatever
channel he may direct his efforts.
Mr.. w. T. BAsooM, who succeeds Mr..
HARTzELL, is last from the Mt. Vernon
Repu6Hcan-prior to that, we believe
from the Xenia TSrehlight, and before
that. twenty to twenty-five years ago. the
Ohio State Journal. Ma. BAsCoM is now
well up in years but hale and vigorous.
He ranks high as an editorial writer, and
of course, has a large experience.

The President of the French Republic
is a military leader, and he of the Spanish
Republic, and he of the Republic Of the
United States, and he of the Dominican
Republic, and he of the Haytien Republic.
But not SO he of the Swiss Republic, nor
he of the Republic of Mexico, who is a
great jurist.-CneinnGti Commercial.
The worst rulers the world has ever had
were military. These have been the in
strumentso of wrong-the founders of abom-
nation and the curses of the world. Wars
usually develop and disseminate vice and
make evil triumphant. The whole thing
is doing evil that good may come-sowipg
tares and expecting to reap wheat. Even
christian clergy have, at times, ADVOCATED
horrid and murderous war, claiming at the
same time to be ministers of the Prince of
Peace But such is often the consistency
of frail humanity

Hostilities Observation-Disclosures Be
tween the two F~actions--9 Brook
Men Killed and 20 WOunded--7
Baxter Men Wounded.
LITTLE Rock. April 30.-General King
White, who has charge of the Baxter for
ces at Pine Bluff, hearing that a party Of
Brookites were assembled at New Gascony,
in Jefferson county, committing depreda-
tions, moved a column of two hundred
men down to that point to-day for the
purpose of dispensing them. a dispatch
late tonight to Gen. Newton from Pine
Bluff says:
White sent forward a flag of truce to
order the men to dispense, but they fired
upon the party and a regular battle en-
sued, in which nine Brookites We're killed
and twenty wounded. The remainder were
taken prisoners, disarmed and sent home.
General White reports seven men Of his
own command wounded and three horses
killed.
LITTLE Rock, April 3O.-The situation
remains unchanged. Baxter was rein
forced by n company from Hampstead
county this morning. The Brooks side
sent out a squad last evening and cut the
telegraph wire between this city and Pine
Bluff. This squad was captured last night
by the Baxterites and are now under
guard.
Major General Churchill, of the Baxter
side, with ten men was surrounded last
night when coming from the depot Of the
Cairo and Fulton railroad, by a party of
fifty Brookites who were lying in wait for
him, and captured. General Churchill
was released a short time after this, and
to-day is in command of his forces. Be-
yond the arrests on both sides, there is no
active operations. A little alarm was oc-
casioned last night by the United States
troops getting out in line and preparing
to prevent trouble. A spirit of nneasiness
pervades everything, and news from
Washington definitely settling the matter
in favor of one or the other Of the parties,
is anxiously looked for by every body,

IN a recent discussion in the German
parliament on a proposed issue of paper
money. the experience of other countries
was quoted, and the financial affairs of the
United States were not shown up in the
most pleasant light. Herr Mosle said
"The finances of the United States are to-
day, long after the civil war, in disorder
because the paper money, from day to
day and week to week, v~acillates in value,
while France, on the contrary, In spite OF
her dreadful defeat, and in defiance of the
suspension Of the bank act, has her bank
notes at par. Had she issued paper money.
she would be now, too, a financial Sodom
and Gomorrah."

"If / were able to go to a store and buy
a hat, and compel the halter, willing or
not, to take my note in payment, l should
simply be forcing him to loan me the val
ne Of the hat until / got ready to redeem
my note. If he was willing to trust me,
and l called it a debt, that would be all
right. But if l compelled him, 1 would
be overriding his rights by force.
at would be a forced loan, 1 say, pro-
vided / ever intended to pay. But, should
1 give him a piece of paper with my name
on it and say, That is money, take it, you
are paid, why then l should be doing two
not over reputable things-a liar and a
thief. / should lie in saying that paper
was money, and l should steal in taking
the hat without paying for-it."

Co. OPERATION for distribution, not for
production, fourishes in Great Britain.
At a recent meeting of representatives TAG
associations were represented, The share
capital of these cooperative a~ssocia-
tions is 60, $4,000; during the year the
sum of elO, 176, 900 was paid, and e1l,-
$4,000 received for goods, the net profit
amounting to esO7 74s. This profit, by
the way, should not lave accrued-it is a
violation of the principle on which the as
sociations are founded; but let that pass.
The figures show that the associations are
vigorous and prosperous-andno doubt the
English tradesman looks with an evil eye
upon the men who have put this eso7, 74S
into their own pockets instead of allowing
it and more, to go into the tradesmen's
tills. --n
