A POLITICAL NEED.
DemoeraticlClubs to Revive JeffersoniaI
Principles.

DemocraticlCIubs to Revive Jeffersonian
Principles.
An "oId Democrat" gOssips in this
style in a political interview, in a New
York paper: democracy, rightly pic
tured, is the most attractive of all things
to young men when they Overthrew
Adams and Hamilton. The young blood
of the republic won the fight. We are
i'm much such a condition now as they
were in under the administrations of
Washington and Adams. We are re-
covering from the effects of a long civil
war as they were from the Revolution.
Now as then, the rich men of certain
class either from SnObb1ShneSS or
creed. think that a separate set of laws
should be passed for them. 1t takes a
little more practical turn now than IL
did then. Warner Miller's pulp monopoly
on the tariff sheet, for Instance, is more
Dractical than the old Federallst Sedl-
ton law, and Jay Gould gets man on
the Supreme bench now for purposes of
his pOcket, while then a class put a
iudge on that bench because he sneered
at .ieffarsOn's trousers and powdered his
hair in the good old aristOcratic way.
The rich. the snObbish, the shOddy, the
un-American, are using the names ana
deeds of Lincoln and Grant for the ben
eft of their cases, just as Hamilton 8
Darty used the name OF washington ana
the memories of the Revolution eighty
odd years ago. Now, as then, the pOmp
and parade and fine equipages are on
that side, and will attract our young
men, unless Democracy sets up some
thing still more inviting on the other
side. In my village, for an illustration,
/ know several sons of Democratic
fathers who train with the Republican
side. The Democrats, they say, never
elect anybody, and don't seem likely to-,
and are generally mo good L do not
know any sons of Republican families
who are Democrats. What is true of
my village is true of O4Aers, assume,
''Let us have our Democratic clubs
again. Get Jefferson and Madison, and
jackson out from the dusty shelves, and
induce our young men-yes, and their
elders, toto discuss them, turn them
over in their minds, and learn what
Democracy really is. Then we will find
the tide of young blood speedily turning
our way for all the logic, all the hu-
manity, all the splendid arguments,
which mark the contrast between Gar
dom and perfect Republic are on our
side

THOMAS K. LEE, is now Probate Judge
of Carroll county, succeeding ex-Judge
c. C. Adams. We wish our friend Lee
smooth sailing, and, at least, one re-
election. Stark and Carroll are alike in
both hav:nT Democrats in the Probate
office. In noticing Mr.. Lee Re. u lican
predecessor, the Carroll Chronicle says:
Judge Adams is a very plain man in
his manner living, dressing and talk
ing. For instance; a Republican can
,didate once asked the Judge concerning
his chances and his opinion as to the re-
suit. The Judge in reply asked the can
didate if he wanted to be tiattered OF
fold the truth. After some hesitation
fhe candidate said he wanted to be told
the truth. The Judge then told him in
effect that he stood no more show of be-
inc nominated than the Pope of Rome
and that he might as well go home and
save his wind and shOe-leather. The
fellow got mad, because he wanted to be
fiattered and deceived, ami to have the
truth concealed. But Judge Adams, un-
like nine-tenths of the Republicans of
this county, would not tlatter candi-
date for the sake of getting a stOga
cigar, a Mexican dollar, or drink of
'TOtgut." Hence, he is unpopular.

THE report on the iron and steel
statistics of this country, prepared by
James NJ. Swank, Special Agent, makes
a fine showing. 1880 there were In

wages during the year 500, 100000. The
amount of capital invested in the busi-
ness was 1921 100000, From materials
costing S191 100000 products were made
weighing more than 100000 tons and
valued at S296,O00,O00. The marked
growth of the industry since lSlO Is
shown by the fact that there has been
an increase of "a per cent. in the num-
ber of establishments, SO per cent, In the

WE chrOnicled last week the burglary
of Isaac Markley's residence in Lake
township seven miles north of Canton.
Several arrests have been made, but
only one, Hiram Williams, held to an
swer. 1t is not long since the residence
of julius Whiting on North Market
street was visited by set of these mid
night thieves. The opinion prevails
that Canton is headquarters for an ex-
tensive gang of thieves and burglars.
If this is so, we respectfully remind all
such, that this world is maintained by
honest industry and the honest and
worthy people who stand by law and
order, will continue to do so. Some
years ago a similar gang infested our
town and neighbOrhOOd; but were
finally disposed of. The present set
might take a lesson by remembering
the past and prOfting thereby. ''HOn-
esty is the best policy" although these
smart fools and knayes, with their aid
ers and abettOrs, may not believe it,
The honest and industrious people who
constitute the large and overwhelming
majority of society; who support Gov
ernment, local, state, and general, will
probably continue to do so; and will see,
in some way, that the laws are faith
fully enforced, and that society is pro-
tected. These thieves, their aiders and
abettOrs, would do we'll to consider
wholesome advice.

Hon. d. NJ. Wilson, one of the most
prominent members of the MahOning
bar and one of the best political speak
ers in the State, died Friday night at
Youngstown. Mr. Wilson was well and
favorably known to the Democracy of
Ohio. having once been the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General, and was
member of the convention called to
frame a new constitution for the State.
In 1874 Mr.. Wilson was the Democratic
candidate for Congress in this district
and was only beaten by some 275. His
death will be regretted by large circle
of acquaintances in his native State. He
was about 60 years old and was born il
Medina county.

A MEET1ss of the Tammany General

A MEETIHG of the Tammany General
Committee few days since was the Oc-
casion of much glOrification. Henry A.
GumbletOn offered a series of resolutions
heartily approving the course of its re-
personalities in the Legislature, "be-
cause they have borne the. e.brunt of new
battle in OGF politics" What is meant
by this it is difficult to understand, un-
less the idea is intended to be conveyed
that there was great merit in standing
out for five weeks against the elec: ion
of Patterson as Speaker and then at the
end of that time turning in to the sup
port of that gentleman.-Elmira- N. Y

SLAVERY meant masters and slaves;
bond, means bondhOlders and bOndsmen;
what is the differenceP Every man and
woman who labOrs is bOndsman, work
ing and toiling for the bOndholders.:
This is only another form of slavery and
should be wiped Out.-Salem Klghts Oh
Man.
Let us then avoid national debts; keep
out of power the party that want ma
tional debts, and that establishes ma
tional banks upon this debt; the party
that gets up needless warsto enable then
to fix their schemes upon the people
This party believes that national deD'
is a national blessing; that the people
should be under bondhOlders, proteetlY'
tarifites, etc. The Democratic part!
never believed in the nonsense.

THERE are now three Republicans
who are candidates for the Presidency:
Blaine. the half-breed; Guiteau, the full
breed; and Grant, the man of destiny
the silent man on horseback. The num-
Der will be reduced in short time,
however. The full-breed is to be
hanged June Both; The half-breed Is be-
ing daily assassinated by the Stalwart
press and Stalwart Administration; and
as for "the man on horseback" he can

THE ready adjustment of the French
financial troubles is another astonishing
evidence of the ability and tact of the
French people in dealing with such que5
tiOns. The bursting of the Union Cen
erale must have been shock as sudden
and severe as the collapse Of Jay Cooke,
in 1873; but it was met with unexampled
promptitude, and beyond temporary
depTessiOn of the BOuTse-cauSed by the
failures of minor stock brOkers-the
economic condition of France has
scarcely been disturbed"
American.
French finance stands upon gold and
silver. 1t is estimated that France pos
sesses $1,OOO,OO0,OOO in gold and $780,
COCOON silver. The people have it in
hand largely. They have small gold
pieces and no small notes. They have
abundant silver and copper coin, beauti-
fully executed, and system of cheap
pOstal orders for the transmission of
small sums.-Cincinnati Commercial.
And in this country our system is
paper-promise upon promise to pay
In fact. under our system ofifinance, the
peOple are constantly yictimized. AL
property and business values are at thu
mercy of the manipulatOrs of the cur
rency. and hence, when Jay Cooke col
Iapsed in 1873, the whole fabric topples
and fell, involving the whole busines
of the country in ruin and bankruptcy
And vet we must continue the system
Must recharter the banksl Must go o.
with the nuisance of irredeemable pape
money, small notes, and all. Thus vii
the thing be repeated!
We do not learn by Our,Own calamitiei
nor yet improve by the wiser example
of other nations.

The average COnkling Stalwart will
not be supremely happy till "thOse liter

country and glory of the "Old Guard. >

IT is said there has been thorough
wedding out of incompetent clerks in
the Treasury Department. This may
start another rush of office seekers.
II Repository.
How in the mischief does ''the party
of great moral IDEAS" get in these in
competent clerks?" And then, this
wedding out" takes place every once in
awhile. When Hayes got in, he went
to wedding out" the incompetent
clerks" of the Grant regime. When
Garfield started, it was the same thing;
and now, here it is again.

THE NEEDS OF THE PARTY IN POWER

More army. Not for use In war,
But for the profit that 1t brings
To army chiefs and army Rings-
That's what we want an army for.
More army! Can't the people see
That we again might have man
To put in place on Chandler's PLAN
How handy would an army be!
More navy! Secor Robertson
Again becomes priest and king
And lends again the navy Ring
To finish what was we'll begun.
More navy! Let the fools complain!
We know that when the cash was spent.
No matter where or how 1t went,
The party leaders reaped gain
More pensions. Roll the millions up.
For some must work for some TO live
And even millions more can give
The party bucket but drop
More pensions! Let not Dudley lag
And give us Sargent to disburseI
The contents Of the public purse
Then see us rally round the flag!
