INSANITY is startingly on the increase
in the so-ealled civilized world. in 1870
the insane population Of the United
States amounted to 81 ,442, the ratio be-
ing to 1000, while in 1880 the number
was estimated to be $1,000 to $4,000,
which gives a ratio of to $40 to tO52O
of the whole population. As regards
the distribution Of insanity, the returns
show that the disease is most prevalent
in the New England States, where the
ratio is to 357; then come the middle
States, with / to 446; the western. with
to $40; lastly the southern, with to
$50. In rapidity of increase the western
come first, the southern second. The
asylums are said to be OvercrOwded to
the extent of 10000 patients, while there
are $4,000 for whom there is no accom-
mediation.
There must be general cause or
causes to produce such results. Our
habits, indulgenees, practices, ETC., etc.,
draw heavily on the nervous system,
which at last gives way. More care and
attention should be paid to the preserva-
ton of health and bodily development
in the young. Correct ideas in these
respects should be more prevalent. In
the struggle of life in this country, too,
anxiety and nervous strain are the rule.
In fact, "the love of money isthe root of
all evil" and largely the cause of this
insanity evil.

THE yelloouent sMajor" Frank Bairt

THE yelIoquent major" Frank Baird,
In company with Charley Fosters man,
L.W. Tucker, of Columbus, and Mason
Long the Fort Wayne gambler, opened
the political campaign at Marlboro last
week, Sunday. They were trying to con
vince the old prohibitionists thereabouts
that the way toprohibit was to vote the
Republican ticket and license. Baird
and Tucker are stool-pigeons for the
Star route leaders who are still riding
Pond license law. These fellows are
mere servitors of the powers that be and
every one knows the consideration be-
tween these contracting parties. Baird,
Tucker and Long are atrio of gamblers,
and have been playing the same game
for years, No honest Prohibitionist
should countenance such fellows, who
annually sell out. "Come out of her
my people, lest ye be partakers Of in
iquity and receive Of her plaques"

THE pretense that the fund is to be
used to defray the ordinary expenses of
the campaign, that is to say, is to be
paid out for advertising, printing,
speakers, &C., is as thin as Hubbell's pre-
tense that the contributions are solicited
on purely voluntary principles. There
is not an individual engaged in this
disreputable business who does not
know better. 1t is simply large cor
ruption nfund.-Cincinnat Commercial,
(Rep.) August %.
The principle of protection" is well
illustrated in the late Opera ordinance
enacted by our City Council. The rights
and interests of the public are sacrificed
to benefit one man. The city treasury
was getting about $500 year revenue
from the amusement exhibition troupes
and the ordinance gives for $50 the tariff
taxing power into the ready hands Of
the Opera man. He levies and collects
the tributes. Wyant, Fawcett & Co. are
"protectionists" sure.
Public good, not private gain, should
be the object of the law making power.
Members are chosen by the public and
take an oath to this effect.

collected off the people, being assessed
upon imports. The tax should be ad-
justed so as to press equally and op-
press none. The present Republican
system is robbery, so arranging the tariff
taxation as to put millions in the pOck-
cts of the favored classes. Democrats
are in favor of EQUAL TAXATION, and SC

BLAINE is playing off the demagOgue
in his speeches in Maine and says so
long as wheat is so much per bushel the
Republican party is safe; that the pros
perity of the country is not due to the
Lord, but the Republican party. The
New York Herald alludes to the poll
tics and prosperity dodge of the Maine
orator: q.a
Mr.. Blaine, in his opening speech In
the Maine campaign, goes back to the
reign of George ii. of England, and
quotes an expression of his famous Min
lister, Mr.. WalpOle, that so long as wheat
was so much bushel he need not have
any fear as to the elections. The argu-
ment of Mr.. Blaine is that because the
country is prosperous the Republican
party, which is the party in power, is
entirely safe. This is very low stan
dard of political morality. 1t is true
that the country is prosperous, but the
price of wheat will not decide the elec-
tiOns this fall. They will be decided on
higher grounds. The issue is not the
price of wheat. 1t is an issue of anti
machine rule, of honor and honesty in
office, of purity in public life. 1t is not
the price of wheat;it is the price of men

THE Repository will not agree that
the faction Republican fight in the State
of New York insures that State will
bel Democratic as certain as Pennsyl-
Vania; and in support of its position
quotes Tammany organ which claims
that if the Democrats would carry that
State, Tammany mus be coneiliated.
The fact is that the Tammany members of
the New York Legislature acted through
out last winters session with the Repub-
licans, thus giving them control. The
Democrats Of that State treat such men
accordingly and recognize no Tammany
organizations. Mr.. Tilden was elected
Governor in 1874 in spite of Tammany's
opposition, and also carried the State
for President in 1876. At present there
seems to be no possibility Of the war;

A ACoRREsPoNDENT, giving an account
of ball rendered President Arthur al
Newport, says:
The festivities were kept up until a
late hour. The banquet at midnight
was an elegant affair, and fully in keep
ing with the distinguished ladies and
gentlemen present. The ladies were
lavishly atCired. Diamonds and jewels
sparkled on all sides. Choice wines
were produced, and the health of the
President drunk by young and old of
both sexes.
The Cincinnati Commercial wishes to
know from Governor Foster whether,
when we consider the rebellion that
RACES in Ohio, it was proper for the
Presidents health to be drunk at mid
night, in the midst of flowers and dia-
monds by men and womenP
1t is evident President Arthur is not
singing Guiteau's hymn: 81 am going
to the LOrdy."

DEALERS in pottery were before the
Tariff Commission last week. Mr.. W. R.
Wright, of Philadelphia, the President
of the Association, advocated a reduc-
tiOn of duty of from 10 to 20 per cent. on
crOckery, and 45 to 80 per cent. on China,
Sc, and so to 40 per cent. on gilded or
Ornamented. They claimed that the
breakage on imported ware doubled the
duty; that the tariff tax now collected
was a war duty and was only designed
to be temporary. The proposed tariff
would be abundant protection, and the
present tariff discrlminates against
lower qualities of goods used by the
poorer classes. Mr.. Wright claimed that
dealers had more invested in the busi-
ness than the manufacturers and deserve
at! least equal consideration, to say
nothing of the consumers. The proposed
tariff duty will be abundant protection,
and will increase consumption and give
more steady employment to the potters
at home. American artisans can never
do their best work so long as they hold
themselves dependent on the aid of the
Government.

THE Democrats of Michigan take de-
eided ground against robber tarfh-a
tariff for protection. They want equal
taxation; not the rObber plan that gives
millions to a few favored mOnopol1sts
enriehing them at the expense OF farm
er5 and others engaged in labor pursuits
and in honest business.-DEMoCRAr.
The Democrats of Michigan in their
State platform demand immediate and
aggressive revenue reform IN the dlrec-
tiOn of Free Trade" declaring at the
same time that they are "unalterably
opposed to the unjust, unequal ana
infuuitous system Of taxation called a
protective tariff" All this the STARK
COUNTY DEMOCRAT fully endorses. We
are gratified to have 1t thus clearly on
record. 1t is pauper labor Free Trade

The STARK COUNTY DEMOCRAT Is a
Constitutional organ, faVOrinG justice
and fair dealing on the part of the Gov

Congress no power to rob the people to
put millions in the pockets of a few
capitalists. The Republican tariff had

THE following from the Clevelan.

The following from the Cleveland
Herald is full of sound philosophy:
1t is astonishing how many people
have adopted the principle of doing the
greatest good to the greatest number
But so many of them find that the great
est number is number one.
1t will apply very we'll to PendletOn'E
Civil Service RefOrm.-RepOsitory.
The Herald expresses Republican poll
tics and it is illustrated hereabOuts by
4th term and family organ" The
whole system of Republican politics is
to "take care of the rich and let the
rich take care of the pOOr"-if old Nick
does not. What is protective tariff
but taking care of the rich? What is
their national bank system but special
privileges? Star route, whisky rings,
stealing the Presidency, ETC., are all in
the same line of self-aggrandizement
at the expense and robbery of labor and
honest business. TIE Democratic idea
of Government is equal and exact JUS
tice to all men of whatever State OF
persuasion, religious or political"
