PRINCIPAL TIN MINES.

Pure tin is an elementary metal, as
much so as lead, iron, silver, OF gold.
The principal tin producing country Is
England. The Phenicians traded with
England for tin 1,lO0 years before the
Christian era. There is reason to believe
that they got tin from Spain also; but
England was depended upon for nearly
all the tin used in Europe until this ore
was discovered in Germany in 124O. IL
was discovered in Northern Africa, in
the Barbary States, in 1910; in India in
1740;in New Spain in 1882. Tin was
mined in Mexico before the Spanish con-
quest, and used in 7 shaped pieces for
money, and in bronze composition for
sharp tools; the principal mines being
at TascO. Peru has valuable mines of
this metal, so have New, South Wales,
Australia and Banca, and M9lacca in
the Malay peninsula. Tin has been dis
covered in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Cali
fOrnia, and other States of the Union,
but not in quantities to tempt capital to
engage in mining it. The chief tin pro
ducing countries are the following, ar
ranged in the order of Importance; Eng
land, about 10000 tons year; Malacca,
about $500 tons; Australia, about 5000
tons; Banca, about 1900 tons, and Bill.
ton, about 5000 tons. JBOth Of these
last named places are islands OF the
Dutch East Indies.

THE STARK COUNTY. DEMOCRAT

Advocates the Democratic cause, the
cause of just government. We only
support or oppose men as they represent
or oppose the great cause. Hence, our
opposition to individuals, is not, as q
rule, governed by personal animOsity.
The General Assembly of the State,
when it has a Democratic majority
elects representative Democrat to the
United States Senate; and when the
Assembly is Republican, they choose a
representative Republican.
The above is the rule; and with the
same object In view each party nOmi-
mates for other positions. At the late
city election in Canton the two parties
had their.respectiYe tickets, and the con-
test was warm, the result giving us
eleven Democrats to three Republicans
in the Council, and the other officials,
also Democrats.

THE PLAIN DEALER TELLS 1T
STRAIGHT.

The morning Republican organs pro-
fess to have information that there are
Democratic COuncilmen who will vote
to keep Clerk Delamater in office, but
they have no such information. The
Democratic COuncilmen are going to do
nothing of the kind. They are going to
elect Democrat. There is no Demo
cratic Councilman going to commit
suicide by acting against the unanimous
desire of his party, and merely for a few
sweet words from Republican news
papers that will call him all the dirty
names they can think of afteTward. The
whole thing is a bluff game, but it isn't
going to win. The engineers of it will
be astOnished at the way the Democrats
will snuff them out at the next Council
meeting, There will be good Demo
cratic Clerk in Mr.. Delamater's place
before long. Mr.. Delamater is a very
good man and there is no opposition Ia
him personally at all. But the other
Republican officials have gone down the
roaring flood and why should he be
sayedp He ought to have got into
shelter long ago when the storm signals
were up.-Plain Dealer.
