WHAT right has our general Govern
ment to enact laws to give few men a
monopoly in a certain line of trade ? Not
200 men probably all told in the United
States have a monopoly of the making
and selling of printing type, compelling
100000 at least in the printing business,
to pay increased price for type that they
may make larger profits. The entire peo-
pie who take newspapers and get printing
done help to pay for this outrageous
monopoly. Monopoly is the great curse
of this country and tariff for Protection
is only an act of Congress to give certain
interested parties enhanced and unreas'

HOW GOV. HARTRANFT GOVERNS

1t appears from Gov. Hartranft's tess
timony that whenever he leaves the
State he signs number of blank proc
lamations for his Adjutant or Attorney
General to fill up according to circum-
stances. Should a riot break out in his
absence, all that the officials have to do
is to fill out one of the military blanks
calling out the troops. Should the Gov
ernor, leaving in November, forget about
Thanksgiving Day, the Attorney Gener-
al, by and with the advice and consent
of the Chaplain of the Senate, gets out a
religious blank and fills in the appro-
pirate thanks to Almighty God for his
bountiful harvests, &c., over the Cover
nor's signature. Indeed, the uses and
convenience of this blank system ol
proclamations are endless. s.-Pitts6KygA

THE TYPE MONOPOLY.

The following, from Major Mckinley,
member of Congress from this district,
explains itself, especially when our read
ers will remember the article in last
weeks DEMOCRAT, on the type tariff mo-
nopoly:
WASHINGTON, D, c., March 10, 1878.
A. McG~gor Esq, Canton, Ohio;
DEAR SIR-I have just received your
petition for the abolition of the tariff
duty on type, and will present it to the
House for reference to Committee OF
Ways and Means.
Respectfully,
WIN. MCKINLEY, JR.
The monopoly given to type founders
under our monstrous tariff system is only
one of many. The salt monopoly is an
other, and more universal in its exac-
tions from the people, and very few
pocket the profits. These exaCtions, re-
member, do not go into the Government
Treasury, but into the pockets of few
private individuals. Some years back
lead pencils were all imported, but bed
of graphite or black lead was found in
New York, and a company was FORM
ed to manufacture pencils. This COM
pany besought Congress for "protec'
ton" and they got it. Since that the
people who use lead pencils have paid
more on account of this monopoly. Mo-
nopoly is the curse of the countryside
enemy of the workingman-uDjust to
the people.
