THE WOOD TARIFF BILL.
The View Of It's Friends as to Its Probable Fate
IN, Y Herald of Monday,

The View Of It's Friends as to Its Probable Fate
IN. Y. Herald of Monday
The tariff bill, which will be brought
into the House toward the close of the
present week, will be a great improve
ment over the bill in its original shape,
and will be entitled to receive the sups
port Of all except the extreme protection
lists. These, of course, will oppose it.
Some of them think the present tariff not
high nor cumbrous enough. Neither
will the bill satisfy the extreme free traN
ders, who would probably prefer more
decisive changes. The committee and
their chairman, Mr. Wood, have been
desirous to secure two obeCts-first, to
insure a sufficient revenue, and second,
to liberate commerce so far as possible
from needless shackles and enable our
manufacturers with the help Of cheapen-
ed raw materials, to sell their surplus
products in foreign markets. 1t is con.
ceded by almost everybody in Congress
that our manufacturers, with improved
machinery and labor>saving appliances,
have got to the point where, if they are
to employ their machinery and opera
tives on full time, they will inevitably
produce more than the home market imo
mense as it s,will take up for consump~
ton. The surplus production is not great
certainly not above ten per cent-but
it weighs constantly on the home market.
deranges prices, stops factories and
workshops, throws industrious artisans
out of employment or forces them to
work half time for part Of the year, and
thus perpetuates the depression in induss
try all over the country, because the op-
eratiyes thus unemployed necessarily
consume less than they would if they
were prosperous. The new tariff is de-
signed to remedy these evils without at
the same time making any extreme or
radical changes such as would injure es-
tablished interests. 1t is natural that
manufacturers in many branches, even
if they are now doing but poorly, should
be alarmed at propositions of change, the
effect of which they do not at once COM
prehend, and which, they fear, put them
at any rate to some trouble. But very
conservative spirit has guided the com.
mittee, and even those who would have
preferred greater changes have readily
admitted that it is wisest to begin slowly
and with care.
Mr.. Wood believes that the bill, snb-
stantially as it will be reported to the
House, will have a majority in its favor.
1t will probably be vigorously discussed,
but there appears to be little doubt that it
will pass the House, and it has a fair
chance in the Senate.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1878-03-21

the Administration who appreciate and
deplore the situation, but their counsel is
not sought, have talked with men just
ly high in the confidence of the party,
who are near the Administration, who
see the tendency, and whose comments
would pain the Republican heart of the
land, But nothing disturbs the serenity
which broods over the White House.
What is to be done? This situation is
demoralizing and weakening, 1t tends
to impair the morale and force of the
party. If the Administration could be
recalled to its true position, Republicans
would heartily welcome it, Dissension
and conflict are as repugnant to the de.
sires as they are opposed to the interests
of the party. But if the Administration
ceases to be a factor in the great problem
of politics, if its work is confined merely
to appointments if it abnegates all in.
tluenCe on the large issues, then the par
ty must 90 on in its own way. The mis-
sion of RepubliCanism was never more
vital than to-day. Whatever becomes
of individuals, the grand work before it
remains. 1t must be toned up on the
financial questions, and must be rallied
as the only safeguard against the danger
Gus elements which are now aiming at
the control of the Government. The
battle cry of true RepublCanism must
sounded again, calling the country back
to the course Of safety. G. e S.

Dor and honest business, The Morrill,
tariff at first raised tariff duties one third,
and during the same year these were in
creased twice again, With 1862 came
another increase and in 1864 two more
additions in 1865 still another and an
other tinkering the very next year. Some
little modification was made in 1870 and
1872, but the thing was all set back in
1874. AS our tariff now stands, it in
Cludes no less than $4,000 articles and
specifications, and to give an idea of the
rate of levy, and to show how the evil
has grown from 1889, when it was 81 per
cent, we give au extract from a Congress
sional speech of Mr.. Randall, of Illinois.
Its words Of solemn warning ought to be
learned by heart;
"The farmer starting to his work has
a shoe put on his horse with nails taxed
at 67 per cent, driven by hammer tax
ed 54 per cent, cuts stick with knife
taxed 80 per cent, bitches his horse to
plough taxed 80 per cent, with chains
taxed 67 per cent. He returns to his
home at ight, and lays his wearied limbs
on a sheet taxed 58 per cent, and covers
himself with blanket that has cost 250
per cent. He rises in the morning, puts
on his humble flannel shirt taxed so per
cent, his coat 80 per cent, his shoes 80
per cent, and hat 20 per cent, opens fam
lily worship by chapter from his Bible
taxed % per cent, and kneels to his God
on an humble carpet taxed $50 per cent
He sits down to his humble meal from a
plate taxed 35 per cent, drinks his cup of
tea taxed 7S per cent, seasons his food
with salt at 100 per cent, pepper 297 per
cent, or spice 997 per cent, He looks
around upon his wife and children, all
taxed in the same way, takes chew of
tobacco taxed at 100 per cent, and then
thanks his stars that he lives in the freest
and best Government under heaven"
If this country has not been blessed
with protection" we know not the land
that is, unless China, Turkey, or some
half barbarous country. We attribute
much of our present disastrous financial
condition to this intermeddling on the
part of our Government with business
and values-giving monopoly to few,
and thereby depressing and robbing the
mass of the people. Justice is the only
safe rule for a safe public policy; and
equality before the law the right of the
citizen.
Is it not fact that, under this vicious
system, the rich have been getting richer
and the poor poorer 1t is only of late
years that we hear of men worth their
millions-and only of late years that we
have armies of tramps. In some count
ries these tramps take the shape of rob-
bers, as in Mexico. There is need of re-
form, and that reform is to get away
from this policy of mere selfshness. 1t
feeds avarce-makes few immensely
rich, as in older lands, and impoverishes
the mass of the people. Let our govern
ment cease to establish monopolies and
call it protection of labor.

THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT TO IN
NESTIG AWE A WATER WORKS

THE CITY COUNCIL ABOUT TO IN
VESTIGATE A WATER WORKS
JOB.
We learn our City Council have an
investigation matter on hand, as to the
estimates and payments made thereon,
of the excavation and filling under the
contract of Campbell, Eek & Co., for
laying new pipe between the Wheel
House and Lake in 1875. H. Cock was
then city engineer, and made an official
estimate before the contract was let,
showing the whole job would cost 81. 800
The final estimate dated Nov goth, 1875,
also official, figures up $427o.o7. Only
a difference of near three thousand dol>
lars! 1t seems the contractors drew, on
the order of the Council and Trustees,
from time to time during the progress of
the work, on estimates made by the en-
gineer. 1t seems Cleveland authority
lately made a calculation, which shows
quite discrepancy with the final state>
ment." The work of the Council is to
see where and how the "error" occur
red. We hope they will find the Truth,
Notwithstanding the long delay.

WE were in attendance at Court the
greater part of last week, an observer of
the Boyle murder case, and we are pleas
ed to state to our readers. from our OBJ,
servations of the trial in that case, that
no mistake was made by the people Of
this county, when they for the second
time elected R. S. Shields as prosecutor.
As criminal advocate we are safe in
saying he has no superior, and probably
few equals at the Stark county bar; and
in saying this we say great deal, for
the Stark county bar is second to none
in Ohio. 1t gratifes us not a little to
know that we, in our weak way, contrib.
uted to Mr.. Shields's election, and that
he fills the office so creditably. We can
also add that it would be unjust did we
fail to mention in this connection the
services Of James Amerman Esq, of this
city, who so very ably assisted on be.
half of the State in the prosecution of the
above mentioned case.--Alfance Lead

BANK ROBBERY.
Fifty Thousand Dollars stolen from a Bank at 2
O'Clock in the Afternoon.

O'Clock in the Afternoon.
Boston, March I6.-A heavy robbery
was committed this afternoon in the
Lechmere National Bank, Cambridge
and Second streets, East Cambridge.
About o'clock President Lewis Hall
was sitting in the parlor of the bank, the
business Of the day being done, and he
was putting up the books, arranging pa
pers or depositing money in the vault,
when buggy containing a man and
woman drove up to the Cambridge street
entrance. The man entered and asked
Hall to step to the door and see the lady,
who desired to do some business. Hal
walked to the sidewalk, the man accom-
panying him. The woman said she de-
sired to purchase a draft on the Provi-
dence Bank, and began in deliberate
manner to count a roll of money. Hall
said he could not wait while she count
ed the money, and returning to his room
sat down to write. In few minutes he
heard a buggy drive hurriedly off, Sud-
denly suspecting something wrong, he
made hurried examination, and found
that a small trunk, which a moment beS
fore had contained $1,000 had been RI
fled. Further examination showed that
two trunks, which were in the vault, the
door of which stood partly open, had
been distracted. The trunks contained
Government bonds and other securities,
amounting to SAT .ooo, the property of
different persons left with Hall for safe
keeping. From facts since ascertained
it is supposed the robbing was done by
three men and the woman. 1t is thought
two men were concealed behind the
door in the hall of the bank building
when the president passed out, and
though he could not have been absent
above two minutes, they succeeded in
getting off with the money and securities.

The President laid before the Senate a
resolution of the Council of Cleveland
in favor of retaining the Bureau of Sta
tistics.

OUR SCHooLS-We know there is a
disposition on the part of the Democratic
members of the Legislature to upset the
school monopoly that is enabling a few
publishers to pile up millions. 1t is dif-
fcult to know just how to reach the mat.
ter but in this our school superintend.
ents should lend a hand. Too many
teachers, we are sorry to say, favor this
school book monopoly. The great Pes
tallozzi taught his boys for long time
without books-but he had head with
more in it than the books contained.
Perhaps fewer books would make more
thoroughness, even now. The fact is,
these book publishers make enormous
profits, wholesaling for four, FIVE, six or
ten times the original cost. 1t ought to
be reached in some way. If it cannot
be done in one way it should be done in
another. We know it can be done-if
not by the Legislature, by Boards of Ed.
ucation and teachers.

THE New York Evening Post, free
trade, Republican paper, had an article
day or two ago, with head line-"IS
THIS NATION BANKRUPT" The Post
answers the question in the negative
finally. But the Republican party has
had ''this nation" in its dear embrace
for near twenty years, and it would seem
that if the nation" is not bankrupt" !"
it is at least staggering badly in that di-
rection, under the loads heaped on by
John Sherman & Co.

REPUBLICAN citizens OF Canton really
supposed they were getting an editor of
parts, but, we regret to say, they are be-
coming sadly disappointed. How can
any good citizen of Canton or Stark
county approve of a stranger denounc>
ing all Democrats, and one Republican,
in county Offices, as thieves and plunder-
ers, when not asingle fact is produced to
sustain the charge? Such an editor must
think the people ofStark generally as fools
and knavcs, and AtmSef fas man ofprow-
ess and discernment, carrying brains
and knowledge. He may be mistaken
on both points, and probably is.
