WHEN the worshippers of mammon
take possession of the temple, justice
takes flight. Our temple was erected to
Liberty and Justice, intended to secure
equality Of rights to all before the law.
As our temple is constituted by the Con-
stitution, there is no provision whatever
for mere mammon worshippers to seize
upon the temple and exclude all others
from its noble privileges. All this, how
ever, has been done under and is the
work of the Republican party. After
flooding the land with paper money, and
legislating 80 as to depreCiate it, and thus
enable the spectators of the money
shambes to saddle upon the People an
immense and burdensome National Debt,
like European despotisms, they then
legislated so that this same paper money
was not good enough to pay the debt, lit
never was good enough to pay the inter-
est. Not satisfied with this, they legis-
lated so as to exclude even silver from
paying the Debt, thus heapiDg up the
burdens of the people, and continuing
their schemes Of legalized robbery. They
now claim it would be terrible wrong
to restore silver to its old place as an in
teger of value, thus approving of the de-
monetizing of that metal, though they
acknowledge it was wrong. In law the
rule, is no one must be allowed to take
advantage OF his own wrong, but the
Sherman plan is to do that, and his obse-
quious tools and organs are helping.
Again, the fundamental principle of
all good government is the safety of the
people. In the old Roman Republic they
had it, SaluS pop,tH Suprema est ler-that
is, the welfare of the People is the para
mount law. Undoubtedly, governments
are established among men to secure the
well being of the People, to preserve or.
der, maintain justice and diffuse social
happiness. All history shows how little
these objects are regarded; how the
laudable objects Of government are per-
verted, and how the masses are enslaved
and robbed. Are the People in this land
to be made the slaves of the stock job
bers of the money shambles, and their
Shiny crew that have taken possession
of the temple and driven out liberty and
justice

THE Canton Repository does not ad-
Vance in its warfare on the Stark County
Commissioners. A plain statement from
the latter, on all the points made against
them, shows that they obeyed both the
letter and spirit of the law, as they un-
derstood it, and in no case wronged their
Constituents-AkrOn argus,
This expresses the general opinion in
Stark county, now that the matters have
been shown up. 1t is to be regretted
that the new editor from Washington
should have made so great a blunder.
Bad advisers, made up of knaves and
fools, no doubt had much to do in indu-
cling this course, and then his great anx-
iety to distinguish himself at once and
"astonish the natives" probably helped
along. He may be wiser if he lives long
enough, and John Sherman, Hayes, Nc
Kinley & Co., also live and prosper. 1t
is surely hazardipg a good deal for a
stranger to undertake to howl and hound
down old and worthy citizens of Stark
county. Our County Commissioners are
each serving his second term, each, too,
reelected by an increased majority. They
are men Of character and substance, and
entitled to fair hearing when assailed; I;
and, with all due respect we may say, the
people of Stark will thirk twice before
they surrender their judgment, and fol-
low John Sherman organ into the
swamps of calumny and detraCtion.

WHERE HE'LL rs.

'I wish to ask you aquestion," said
Mr.. Sharp to our young minister" as be
met him in the street. II am anxious to
know where he'll is. The Bible l have
read, Biographies, histories and other
books, and can't find out where it is ex.
actly." The young minister, placing his
hand on his shoulder and looking earnest
ly into his eyes, replied encouragingly,
"My dear sir,do not be discouraged; am
sure you will find out after awhile. As
for myself have made no inquiries, and
really don't wish to know where hell is.
About heaven l have thought and read
and studied great deal. wish to make
that my home and by the grace of God 1
will. Ask me about heaven and l can
talk to you: don't know where hell is,
and you would better not find outl"

THANKs-To our friend DR.. ]. G. Bart
lett of Marietta, for pamphlet copy of
Gen. Al Warmers work entitled-"The
Appreciation of Money: its effects on
Debts, Industry and National Wealth" I"
The work extends to SO pages, and is from
the publishing house of Henry Carey
Baird & Co., of Philadelphia. The work
is marred by an "Errata." 1t is "dedica-
ted to the Producers and Business men
of the United States, whose prosperity
is the prosperity of their country" The
work is a valuable production, and well
worth careful perusal. Gen. Warner
has studied deeply and we'll the financial
topics which he discusses. Thus far We
have enjoyed the work, and expect to re-
cur to it frequently.

BRIDGING.-The most difficult piece of
bridginq we have ever known is that now
being attempted by the Republican par
ty organs, in trying to bridge the gulf
that yawns and roars between the Hayes
administration and the old indomitable
party leaders, followed by the rank and
file of the party. This is evidently a
more difficult piece of bridging than Ju.
lius Cesar encountered when he bridged
the Rhine.
The new man on the Repository is much
involved and deeply interested in this
bridge business. No doubt he was sent
from Washington for that purpose, and
it speaks we'll for him. He seems anx.
ious to get foot bridge for Sherman to
pass over, knowing in that event Hayes
might venture. The great difficulty is,
that the gulfis widening, and hence the
anxiety to bridge as soon as possible, and
hence, also, the activity of Sherman &
Co., in sending out their active, reliable
agents to sound the shore and call for
help.
Under all these circumstances it is no
wonder that Sherman's organ grinders
are yelliDg-bridg J.! BRIDGE!l

THROUGH an Akron gentleman we learn
that the gas war there is reallya bitter
personal quarrel between Mr.. Park AL.
exander, President Of the Akron Coun-
Gil and Mr.. Cornell, the principal owner
of the gas stock, the trouble originating
some time ago in a political difficulty.
The effort of the Council to substitute
gasoline lamps caused the gas company
to enjoin the action of the Council, as
the contract had not run out. The mat
ter has got into the Court, and in due
time will be heard from both sides, and a
decision rendered on the evidence. 1t
is comic table that in Canton gas mat.
ters have not run to the extreme they
have in Akron.

Thereport of the Commissioner of Ag-
riculture makes a good crop exhibit for
the year. The wheat yield is stated at
36e,OOO,OOO bushels, or 5O,OOOOOO more
than ever before pronuced. The report
states that other crops are corresponding
ly abundant and estimates that no.
100000 bushels of wheat can be spared
for export. The average wheat export
is $4,000, 900 bushels per year, and the
highest in any one year is 81 100000. 1t
is estimated the English market will re-
ouire about 1OOOOO'OOO bushels of the
present years yield. The American sur
plus will be in demand there; but the
amount of that demand is contingent,
upon the Turko. Russian war. If it stops,
Russian wheat dealers are ready to COM
pete aetiyely and Immediately for it.

THE REPOSITORYLAUD UDING SHER.
NAM AND FORCED RESUMPTION


In 1868, a few days before the Presi-
dental election, the noted Wendt II Phil
lips, in speech, said, "the country is
staggering into bankruptcy" and the
staggering has been getting worse and
worse under the rule of the Republican
party. No man is 50 largely responsible
for the financial policy of the Grant ad'
ministration as John Sherman, He was
the willing tool ia the United States
Senate of the monied interest, and he, of
all other men, is most responsible for
the present financial condition of things
in this country, This man has been one
of "the architects Of ruin"
The Repository, however, under Its
present management, is, it seems, Sher'
man organ, defender of contraction and
forced resumption, and opposes "the sil-
yer dollar of the fathers" The Cloven
foot was fully shown in last weeks Re-
pOsitory in an art Gle that opened thus;
"An attempt to induce the belief that
"a failure like that which occurred but
recently in Canton, is due to the policy
"of forced resumption, is disingenuous
effort to divert attention from the real
"lesson taught by the calamity, aLd is
therefore to be condemned"
Ii is not only "the lesson" but the
cause orsrah calamities, that should re-
ceive attention and consideration. These
calamitits are the rule all over the count
ry, and the Republican party leaders
cannot escape, for THESE results are the
direct and inevitable Consequences Of
their villanous legislation and extray-
agant and corrupt public policy,
The editor lauds Secretary Sherman's
assumptions schemes and claims that it"has
appreciated the greenbaCk dollar~ But
he does not state at what a frightful cost
to the country. 1t has brought upon us
disturbance of values, by rapid and un'
necessary contraction that has involved
the business world in this land in gen.
eral bankruptcy He has the pre8ump.
ton to thus talk about Resumption.
"The laboring man owes it to the Re-
sumption policy of the Republican par.
"ty, that the greenback dollar which he
received in payment for his labor on
Saturday, the 18Th inst, bought him 8
"cents of goods more than the greenback
"dollar which he received in payment of
"his labor on Dec, 18th, 1876"
Such stuff as this is not fit food for
sick kitten. Truly, "the laboring man
owes" much to the forced resumption
policy of the Republican party, 1t is
that policy" that has dried up and stop
ped furnaces, rolling mills, and manufac-
turing establishments, and brought dis
tress and gloom to laboring men and
their families.
Look at Alliance look at Massillon;
yes, and look around Canton Indeed,
look all over and ponder on the party
whose corrupt leaders and villainous pol
icy brought upon a confdlng people
these dire Calamities.
Cur people do not relish this Sherman
hash, and judging from elections else
where, it is not generally acceptable.

WIN. e. CHANDLAni, ex-member OF Con-
gress from New Hampshire, and men,
Der of the Republican National Commit
tee, is out in an address attacking Hayes
and exposing the Electoral fraud. He
charges Hayes with going back on him
and the rest, and tells tales that Mr.
Hayes and his friends cannot we'll pass
by unnoticed. That White House seat
is not likely to prove an easy one. 1t is
not yet year since the fraud was con-
summated, and here it is assuming pro-
portions and coming out in all its in
fanny.
Mr.. Chandler is a shrewd Yankee law
yer, and was one of the fnglemep, hav-
ing been specially selected to go to Flor
ida to help steal that vote for Mr.. Hayes.
He went to that State Immediately after
the electicL with the accomplished Mack
ey of Pennsylvania, and remained until
the work was completed, and the pe1ur-
ed and bribed scoundrels OF the Return
ing Board McLin and Cowgirl, had count
ed in the Hayes electors. The Florida
business required nicer management
than the Louisiana villainy, for the Re-
turning Board law in Louisiana gave
certain color of legality to old Wells's
frauds. Chandler manipulated the job
with devilish ingenuity. Attorney GEN
eral Harrow of New York, also Repub-
lcan Visiting statesman" came home
in disgust and published his conviction
that Mr.. Tilden had carried the State
Chandler remained on the ground and
bullied and bought the canvassers, tele-
graphed old Wells at New Orleans, that
florida void vote for Hayes, and that he
(Wells) and his "cheap niggers" should
90 ahead and steal the vote of Louisiana.
Without Florida Louisiana would have
been useless. Hayes owes as much to
Chandler as to Wells. Chandlers i'm
portant charge is that Hayes pledged
that when counted in he would sustain
Packard and Chamberlain; and that he
pledged others, Southern men and Dem
ocrats, if they would let him be counted
in, he would withdraw the troops and let
Hampton and Nichols get power, 1t
will not do to say that Mr. Hayes knew
nothing about all this conspiracy and
fraud, even when, with upturned eyes,
he protested be "would not accept the
Presidency lift came to him tainted with
even the suspicion of fraud"

dead silence the court waited. The wit
ness fidgeted about in his chair, and with
a great clock-face staring at him from the
