Respectfully yours,
The MANUF'RS EQUITABLE ASSC

The Repository is quite fond of using
Nation" with big n. The COnstitu-
tiOn, which is the compact of union,
starts off with a preamble declaring
the purpose to be, "tO form a more per-
"fect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general
welfare and secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and our pOsterity."
In anOtheIpartO of the same instrument
it says: "The powers not delegated by
"the Constitution, nor prohibited by it
"tO the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people"
This country then is a "union" of
States, not Nation in the common ac-
ceptance of that term. In framing the
Constitution and establishing the Union
under general government, the peO-
pie acted through the State. They
voted in the convention of 1887 as States,
Each State considered the Constitution
for itself when that instrument was
submitted and each State came in vol
unfairly. Rhode Island at first rejected
and it was not till near two years after
its adoption that the little State accept
ed the Constitution. North Carolina
also remained out year and over. These
two States then were out of the Union
during that time and did not vote for
Washington for President at his first
election.
If this was a Nation" what was
Washington about that he did not coerct
them into submissionP These "Repub
licans" talk as did King George III ant
the Tories of that day.

THE geniuses who run the Mckinley
SaxtOn organ have the faculty of mud
ding things most unreasOnably; and
then sticking to it. Their assault upon
Mayor PierO, is in character. The Re-
pOsitOry charged him with being re-
spOnsible for the release on $500 bail of
the accused thief Nelson; when the fact
is, the proceeding, releasing Nelson on
bail was in the! Common Pleas. We
do not call in question the motives of
the latter officials in their action in the
case; the fault we find is in the course of
the Repository in not giving a true his
tory of che whole matter and stopping
there.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Keplin-
ger did not attend to his grievance and
have his case ready so as to arrest again
the same thief. We fear Mr.. Keplinger
neglected to employ lawyer to attend
to the matter and be ready for the
scamp. Citizens should remember that
prOmptitude and vigilance are neces-
sary in dealing legally with thieves.
In such matters, delays are dangerous.
Sufferers and victims owe it to them
selves to take at once proper steps to
put the law in force; and the first step
is to secure the services of a faithful
and capable attorney.
With our railway facilities, Canton
has become town of more Importance,
and is quite convenient to reach and
leave. Hence, thieves, pickpOckets and
burglars, drop down upon us to ply
their vocation, which they have been
doing but too successfully, nOtwith-
standing our dozen of vigilant police.
If our police can improve their vigil
ance, they will only better serve the
public. Tax-paying people support
city and county officials to obtain ''prO-
lection" to life and property. Several
of these hght-fingered youths have al
ready been sentenced at this term of
court to terms in the Penitentiary,
where they will have chance to learn
more useful occupation. There are
plenty of others equally deserving of
the same dose, and we bespeak the CO.
operation of all good citizens, especially
officials, to administer as soon as pOssi-

These figure prove that the average
product of human labor per head has in
creased three times faster in Great
Britain than in the United States. Let
the advocates of protective tariffs ex-
plain why human industry is less pro-
ductive in the United States than the
average of the world, and why is it so
much more productive in England than
any other country.
Protective tariffs induce capital and
labor to engage in Improbable pur-
suits, or interfere with the natural
laws of trade and business, and thus
disturb values and work injury. Hence,
under protection the aggregate prOduc-
tiOn of wealth is less. Hence, also,
whenever government interferes with
business, favOring some industries and
crushing others, aa under the protection
system, as it exists in this country. evil
results follow, ending at last in panic,
ruin and bankruptcy when those favor
ed suffer the most, as was the case from
1873 to 1878.

GENERAL BASIL DUKE, of Kentucky,
In recent letter closing up a contrO-
versy with or about General Burbridgs
uses this language, which can be un-
derstOOd without comment:
81 still believe that he (Burbridge)
murdered in cold blood, without trial
OF any pretext of retaliation, very many
citizens and prisoners of war. be-
lieved, and still believe, that he knew,
and his advisers, aiders and abettOrs
well knew that these unfOrtunates were
guiltless of the crime for which they
were ostensibly made to suffer, and
that their deaths in no wise curbed the
conduct of the guerillas. That, more
over in numerous instances, blood
money, was demanded and paid, which
s. G.. Burbridge shared; and many innO-
cent men were shot to terrify Others
into buying their lives. The great ma
jority of the people of Kentucky, ire
spective of party, believe these charges
and to talk OF write about anything
else is absurd and irrelevant.
1t seems to be true that hatred Of
Burbridge in Kentucky is not confined
to any party, but is generally shared by
citizens of the State. Some of the mos
vigorous attacks on him have come
from Republicans. The "blOod money
story seems to be well attested.

GOOD SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

The word from the State of New York
is, that many of the younger men of the
Republican party will not comply with
the bargain which Belden, Cornell & Co.
have made with John Kelly and Tam
many. These Independent Republicans,
it is said, will not be handed over to the
support of John Kelly and his schemes
Thousands of Tammany's followers
heretofore will refuse to follow Kelly
into his Republican combinations. They
are not for sale and this Mr.. Kelly may
find out. Besides, the sentiment of in
dependence is abroad over the country;
and it is a healthy sign. The public
welfare is the important matter to be
considered and looked after. Base con-
sideratiOns and schemes and bargains,
looking to individual profit and gain,
are not acceptable to good citizens any
where.

LIEUT.. GOVERNOR RICHARDS resides
in Jefferson county. 1t seems he has
been at Washington consulting the Ohio
Republicans in Congress about redis-
tricting the State; and he and Major
Mckinley have been closeted over it.
The talk is that the twain contemplate
dropping out from this district one of
the counties east of Stark and adding
Jefferson with the understanding that
Mckinley is to be continued for another
term and to be then succeeded by Rich
ards. Lovely, is it not?

The United States is Nation.-Re-
pOsitOry,.
The wise men that established the
Government did not so understand it;
for the convention of 1887 at Phila-
delphia that drafted the Constitution,
voted down every mention of National
Government" and named it "the Gov
ernment of the United States" There
was scarcely dissenting voice in all
this. The Repository young gentlemen
are evidently not familiar with the
history of the country. They do not
seem to be aware that the late war was
prosecuted for the avowed purpose "to
restore the Union, with all the rights
of the States unimpaired."

PoLYGAMY is sanctioned by the Nor
mon Church of Utah, but the practice
is not adopted by all its adherents; it is
possible, therefore, under the bill
passed by the Senate, that the Nor
mons may control the Legislative AS
sembly, inasmuch as the bill excludes
only actual polygamists. The provis-
ions of the bill, if carried out, will
restrict jury service to the Gentiles,
and thus give force to the penalties
against polygamy; but with the law
making power in Mormon control, ways
may be found to obstruet the admins
tratiOn of the statute.

THE FACTS AGAINST PROTECTION.

gives interesting figures, showing the
average product of human industry was
1925 per annum for each inhabitant in
1880. against Sill per annum in 1870.
These dates also show in striking
manner how effectually our protective
tariff prevents the accumulation OF
wealth. The following table gives the
annual production of human industry
per capita in 1870 and 1880.

Postage Stamps.

Tho number of U. s. ordinary postage
stamps issued in 1881 was 954, l28 ,440, and
tho values S24,040,643 The method of
printing postage stamps is as follows: The
printing is done from steel plate, on which
200 stamps are engraved, and the paper
used is of u peculiar texture, somewh hat
resembling that employed for bank notes.
Two men c,ver the plates with the coored
inks aud pass them to man and GIRL who
print them with largo rolling hand-pr
Three of these little squads are employed
all the time, although ten can be put in
the inks are ultramarine blue, Prussian
blue, chrome yellow and Prussian blue
(green), vermiliiou and carmine.
After the sheets of paper on which the
200 stamps are engraved have been dried,
they are sent into another room and gum
mod The gum is made of the powder of
dried potatoes and other vegetables, mixed
with water. Gum arabic is not desirable
because it cracks the paper badly. The
sheets are gummed separately. They are
placed backward upon fiat wooden sup
port, the edges being protected by n metal.
lie frame, and the gum is applied by wide
brush. After having been again dried, this
time on little racks, which are famed by
steam power for about an hour, they are
put in between sheets of pasteboard and
pressed between hydraulic presses capable
Of applying weight of 1000 tons.
The sheets arc next cut in halves, each
sheet, of course containing 100 stamps.
This is done by girl with large pair of
shears, cutting by hand being preferred to
that of machinery, which method would
destroy too many stamps. They are then
passed to the perforating machine. The
pertorations between tho stamps are effect.
cd by passing the sheets between two
cylinders provided with series Of raised
bands, which are adjusted to "a distance
apart equal to that required between the
rows of perforations. Each ring on the
upper cylinder has series of cylindrical
projections which fit corresponding depres.
sions in the bands of the lower cylinder !;
by these the perforations are punched out
and by simple contrivance the sheet is
detached from the cylinders, in which it
has been conducted by IN endless band.
The rows running longitudinaly of the
paper are first made, aud tnen by u similar
machine tho transverse ones. This per-
forating machine was invented and patent.
ed by Mr.. Arthur in 1852, aud was pur.
chased by the Government for 10000.
The sheets are next dressed once more, aud
then packed aud labeled and stored in
another room, preparatory to being put up
in mail bags for dispatching to fulfIl
orders. II n single stamp is in any way
mutilated the whole sheet of 100 is burn-
ed. Five thousand arc burned every week
from this cause. The sheets are counted
no less than eleven times during the pro-
cess of manufacturing, and 50 great is the
caro- taken in counting that not o single
sheet has been lost during the past twenty
years.

The folly of any American fearing that
Hawaiian sugar can overrun the United
States, is seen by comparing the sugar
crops of various countries. Cuba and
Porto Rico grew, in 1901, an off year,
nearly four times as much sugar as the
United States and the Hawaiian Islands
together The crop of Cuba aud Porto
Rico, in 1889, good year, was soy 900
tons more than the United States crop of
the same year-tbe best of the three
under review--nnd the crop of the Hn.
walian Islands in their best year, 1901.
In other words, tho average crop of Louis.
ana and the highest the Islands can reach in
the next ten years will not equal the
fluctuations in the product of tho two
other sugar-produciug countries named ;
that is, will not equal 10000 tons, or the
difference between Cuba and Porto Rico
in 1889 and 1851. An examination of
the crop tables shows that the worlds pro-.
ductlon is not growing MS rapidly as the
number of cousumers.-W erchant.
