That document confirms our statement
that they were rather down, as will be seen
on reading the extracts we present.
But we present these extracts for another
reason-to show how Messrs. HAMILTON

the way they do 1t;

The commissions spoken Of are indeed
rather small; for instance, at 1 per cent,
which the Baltimore brokers charge, the
profit on n $3.50 coupon will be rather less
than two cents, on $40 coupon rather
less than four cents, on $50 coupon =
cents. In each case the postage is two
cents; and as the comfy OF Business re-
quirts that each party shall pay his own
postage, the reader can see why Messrs.
HINBr EToN a. Co. wish that they had never
heard OF tax-receivable coupon.
Their declaration that the supply exceeds
the demand shows that they do not attach
much importance to their orders for nearly
5000 m coupons the last week.-Mrs. being

most Of the tenders, are about all paid IN.

We learn that there are great many
counties OF the State which have not ten

the richest county In the State has only
rendered about $500 OF them.
Pluck and patriotism are bound TO beat

Lest folk suspect your tale untrue


Governor FOrSker's lying sensational
yarns, based on the testimony of Deni'
tentiary cOnVicts, have already come to
grief. His mightiness has bitten of
more than he can chaw.
The. utter improbability Of the tale is
against 1t. What motive could Drs.
Montgomery and Haines have to skin
human bodies and use the hide for Gov
ering canes?
Convict Nye has q motive. Foraker,
being Governor, has the pardoning
power, and Nye Is we'll aware of this.
But what must.we think of a Governor
who will go into the penitentisry and
consort with criminal wretches in this
wsyp
The Republican party and the Repub-
licsn Governor must be In a strait to re-
sort to the O. P. in this way. The ten.
dency must be to demOralize that dan
gerOus institution. Let the cOnVicts
understand that they, individually, are
q political power, and by serving the
party In power, have a prospect Of par
don, and depend upon it, there is dan
ger ahead.
We gave Governor Foraker credit for
more sense. His short sighted folly Is
astonishing.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-10-07

SHERMAN, Mckinley & Co. In their
speeches, have nothing to- say on the
fact that under Republican rule Amerl-
can ships have ceased TO be the carriers
of our exports and imports.
In short, under Republican protection
American shipping engaged in the for
eign trade has almost entirely disap-
peared. Under an honest Democratic
tariff over three.fOurths of our foreign
commerce was carried In American
ships.
Now, fiVe-slxths Of our foreign trade
Is carried on in foreign vessels. The
ship building business for the foreign
trade has also disappeared under Repub-
lican rule. Such Is protection"
These political tinkers who work In
the interest Of monopoly, do not dwell
on such facts. Their hOtbed system
soon overdoes things and results in de-
preston and ruin. This is history.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1886-10-07

Do prsters about protective tariff
hereabouts ever consider results at all 7
Do they not remember the disastrous
results of the panic and depression
and ruin of some years ago.
Let them call to mind rolling mill
at Alliance, two iron furns ces at Mas
sillon, all of which are gOJ It to re
turn.
These calsmities brough. ruin to the
proprietors, who were reputel wealthy
In the days Of their prosperity ''protec.
tion" was given the credit. When ruin
came 1t was "overproduetioD."
OF course the ruin anc general bank
ruptcy were not attributed to "Drotec.
ton" Oh, NO the Republican party is
infallible, and cannot do wrong.
Facts are stubborn things however.
Their hotbed system inevitably leads
to ruinous results. And oitentimes the
recipients Of monopoly favors by gov
ernment are the victims Of the policy.
The only safe government policy is tie
Iine Of careful and even bauded justice.
N oiher is the road OF af ~ aid per-
manent ueeess.

"There are none so blind as those who
will not see." John Sherman 1t seems
can see no business prosperity or good
of any kind so long as the Democrats
are In power.
In his jsremiad at Portsmouth the
Senator shut his eyes and declared
"Prlces have fallen steadily. Industries
once fIourishing are now languishiDg.
II Is felt by every business man, farmer
and lsborer that distrust and want of
confidence followed the election of a
Democratic President"
Mr.. Sherman may keep his eyes
blinded but other people do not. The
Senator's stanch friend, Murat Halstesd
In the Cincinnati Commercial only q
few days ago wrote In his paper:
Evidences are plenty and unmistakablO
to show that general business is on the
mend" There is not exactly boom, he
said, but "the improvement ls steady,
safe, sure and rapid, too" And he
wound up by affirming that "a better
feeling exists among merchants and
manufacturers than has been seen for
years." and that confidence is first.
rate business backer."
Senator sherman's cr0ak does not
change the facts. Reports are that the
prospects for the fall and winter trade
is more fstterlng than at any time In
the past six years. A convention of
1900 drummers held few days ago in
Cincinnati agreed that "there Is a gen.
ersl awakening Of business" In the West
and South. There were similar reports
from other parts Of the country.
