SAILORS would be 10th to sail without
using their log to test their pace, and show
their progress. The wonder is that so many
Christian professors navigate the sea Of life,
and are utterly careless whether they are
making headway or drifting from their
course Should we not all cast overheard
our log There are various ways by which
with readiness we may measure our pro-
gress; our prayers, our labors our patience,
our faith, our communion with God, our
humility, may all serve as logs by which TO
measure our sailing pace.

CHEAPER SEwING-MAcHiNEs. Patent
law monopolies may furnish a useful stiml-
lus to inventive genius. and so be Of general
utility, but they are far from being an m-
mixed good. Thus, during the past three
years, over a million sewing-machines have
been sold in this country, at an average
price of sixty-fye dollars. Now the actual
cost for the construction Of such machines is
but little, If any, more than half that sum.
The patent on what is known as the four-mo-
tion-feed, owned by the Wheeler & Wilson
and the Wilcox y Gibbs companies, is one
of the principal causes that have kept up
the price Of sewing-machines An appeal
has been made to Congress for an extension
Of this patents but we are glad to note the
committee on patents have reported adversely
to the application, and the House adopted
the report. The result will be that the price
of sewing-machines win before long have to

Dull TIMES rs BosToN.-The Boston
Transcrip, complains bitterly of hard times
in that city. 1t says In all CONNER
cial quarters of Boston the present winter
has been one of the dullest ever known. The
arrivals of ships, barques and brigs have
greatly declined even from last year, while
schooners have increased in numbers, thus
showing how rapidly the latter class of YES
sells is taking the place Of the former. The
foreign steamers arriving here give but lit
tie direct business 10 Boston, especially in
their outward cargoes, as these are shipped
mainly from orders, and are received 10y the
Grand Junction railroad, without passing
through the city proper at all. One large
ship from Liverpool, such as used TO be en-
gagged in that trade, discharging at our
wharyes with full cargo for Boston houses,
and then fitting out and loading for san
Francisco or back to Liverpool, again with a
full cargo shipped by our Boston merchants,
would give more business to our mechanics
laborers, ship chambers, truckmon, and ali
connected with the shipping interests, than
half dozen English steamers sending and
receiving all loftheircargoes Of by the railroad

FROM ALLIANCE.

ALLIANCE, Oc. 4th, 1876
DEAR DEMocRAT-I thought I would
drop you few lines about the doings at
our place in the political field. A few
nights ago the demons of the torch at Sa-
lem, the old abolition swamp of disunion
and present seat of sectionalism, came up
to assist their comrades in lighting up
the funeral procession of the Republican
party. And during the night some of
their beautiful characters cut down the
greenback banner that hung from the
chair mandatory of Sharer & Son, and
carried the banner home with them. l
suppose the better class OF, the rowdies
became disgusted at the proceedings, and
returned the banner, and it now oCcl-
pies its old position. Such is the usual
conduct of the leaders of that party as it
is organized at the present day.
To make amends for the visit of the
Salemites, the demons of the torch of
this place visited Salem on last Saturday,
and on their return, some of that piOus,
moral and genteel party were so tired and
lCedry that they had to be escorted to bed.
On Wednesday evening of this week,
Mr.. Stewart, the candidate for Vice Pres
ident on the Prohibition ticket, spoke in
College Hall, and as Gov. Noyes was i'm.
ported here to interfere with this meet
ing, the Republicans insisted upon his
speaking at the same hall, without the
audience knowing anything about the ar
rangement until seated. In full keeping
with that party's mean known character
istiCs, their capped and torched satellites
marched in, in the midst of Mr.. Stewards
speech, very much to the disgust and dis
pleasure of the large and respectable au-
dience. After quiet was restored, the
speaker poured into that party broad
side that was quite bitter pill for them
to swallow, exposing their false and hyp-
ocritical pretensions, and reports in regard
to the Southern States. Upon the whole
their vindictive, malicious, foul and SLAM
derous course will not benefit, but will
tend to lead to their discontinue in this
township, and you may look for a good
and cheering dispach from Alliance on
next Tuesday night for the Democracy.
Yours, &C.,
MACK.

M. B. WILCOX.
Why Nominate for a
Third Term?
THE RECORDERS OFFICE In
BAD SHAPE !
Let the People Read and
Understand!

The Republican candidate for Recorder
of Stark County is NJ, f. Wilcox, man
soft and smooth. of speech and DESTROYS
to be elected for the third term. Mr..
Wilcox has been Recorder for the past
six years, and prior to that time was a
citizen of Canal Fulton. Heis now very
busy buttonholing Democrats, with a
view of deluding them to vote for him,
after which he would only laugh to him
self, what fools he had made of them.
This is bad year for such political
frauds, when the party of the "bloody
shirt" with their corruption and lies are
grasping again for power!
Though heretofore Republican, I was
at loss to understand how and why a
man like Mr.. Wilcox, and man no more
competent than he, should have secured
the nomination fol the third term in sue
cession, and beaten so badly, worthy and
good Republicans, and men far superior
to him in qualification. This lovely com.
bination or ring arrangement was plainly
manifest after the development of the
Republican primaries, that served to ac-
count for the result. By this, Mr.. Anson
Peas was nominated for Judge and Major
Mckinley did not suffer.
The confused and bad shape of things
in the Recorders office is not generally
known, but is TO some individuals who
have frequent occasion to search the rec
ords Of Stark county, for the purpose
of tracing titles and making abstracts O.
the same. There is no excuse fol
Mr.. Wilcox neglecting the business o.
that office it is toa important, and the
official who is incompetent or inattentive
to those public duties is unworthy of re.
election for the second or the third term
Mr. Wilcox is far behind with his index
ing and hence the great inconvenience
and trouble to trace titles and the danger
of serious mistakes. This may account
for Mr.. Wilcox, himself, charging enor'
mously for tracing titles. know of one
case where he charged FIVE DOLLARS
when, if the books had been up and il
shape, fifty cents or dollar would have
paid him well. The condition of thC
books may account for errors have
heard Of have no personal hostility
to Mr.. Wilcox, but, seriously, he has NJ
excuse to neglect thus his official duties
At least so thinks one heretofore

THEY CAN MAKE SOUP OUT Of
SHAVINGS.
One Cent For a Small Bone !
A Bone That a Butcher Would Throw
Away
Working Men See What a Hayes
Organ Would Have You Eat
Republican Bill of Fare fer the
Laboring People,

In the Cleveland Leader, Of June Esd,
1876, the working people are thus lee
tured:
Considering the hard times now expe-
riC need among he work ng cla' sin this
country, it may be appropriate to discuss
the subject of cheap living, Working
people the world over are in the same
situation, but they manage to stand it
better in other countries on account Of
their habitu0l economy. An Italian la
borer, earning thirty cents day, will
support his wife and two or three chill
dren. At noon, in the short halt of his
work, he throws himself down in the
shade ofa tree, or a wall and eats large
piece of bread, with nothing to give it
relish but an onion or a large piece Of
garlic The evening meal with his FAM
ilv, will consist or coarse bread, a variety
of cheap vegetables, a salad gathered
along the roadside, and so seasoned as to
cause a pleasing sensation TO the Pdidte, and
now and then washed down with a bottle
of wine costing four or five cents. In
France the poor people fall back on soup,
which they can almost make OUT OF
Ef1 n NINbC. III NGI many llNN VIII
subsist on bread and vegetables. The
working classes in all European countries
are able, during the dull season. to restrict
their appetite to a modest bill of fare,
adequate to their means, and continue to
live in the enjoyment of good health.
Further on the writer gives practical
test:
A gentleman who has busted himself
considerably in endeavoring to solve this
problem states that a few days ago he
purchased material and made soup for
nine persons at an expense Of six cents !;
three cents for peas, one cent for one
Bermuda onion, ditto for two heads of
asparagus, and dozen leaves Of espin-
ach, and ONE CENT for a small bone
which TIL Z BUTCHER WOULD HAVE
THROWN AWAY.
What stalwart feelings The very
thought must bring unboundod happi-
ness to people who are suffering for the
advicel
Just elect Mckinley and the Republi-
can ticket, and you will all enjoy this
economy to endless time.

A FRIEND writing from Milwaukee
says : Ifelected, R. B. Hayes will be a
mere tool under the manipulations of
the Mortons, the Blaines, the Conklings,
the Camerons, letc Senator Morton is
correct in claiming that the President
must go with his party, for in his speech
at indianapolis he said: "The adminis-
tration of any President will be in the
main what the party which elected him
makes it. If he breaks away from his
party the chances are that he will be
broken down. In Government of par
ties like ours, the President must have
his party. The men to whom he owes
his, election, who have defended him
from assaults, to whom he must look for
support in the future, will ordinarily con-
troll his action, and he will do nothing
offensive to them in the main"

county do not want a man in that
important Office who spends his
time inSelectioneering for himself
writing deeds and mortgages
which is not part of his official
duties, and preparing worthless
abstracts.
A dose Of reform is needed in
this office as we'll as in others OF
more Importance, and that reform
can be reached by placing in the
office a competent and dill
gent person like Mr.. MANLY,
instead of the old political hack
who at present occupies it. Will
cox has clearly shown, in the last
six years, either that he is incom-
petant to discharge the duties of
his position or is too negligent
and lazy to do so, and in either
case he is not fit to hold the po-
sition.
The people Of this county
should reflect upon this before
they again entrust thing Of such
great value and Importance to
every one as the county records
to the keeping of man who is
so unfit to fulfil such a trust as
Wilcox has shown himself to be.
